New page reviewer granted
Hi Amkgp. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. signed, Rosguill talk 18:28, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Help
Hello, I recently created the Bettles Bay State Marine Park page. It was moved to the draft space for lack of citations. However, there exists almost nothing about this park. Even on the official Alaska.gov site, there only exist a single sentence about the park. Does this mean that the page should not be created at all? - Thanks, User:PeakAsian 21 October 2020.
- PeakAsian, as per notability guidelines, an article needs to be supported by verifiable sources to asses its notability and to remain as an article. ~ Amkgp 💬 15:17, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
If I added a citation, would that be acceptable? Thanks. - ~ PeakAsian —Preceding undated comment added 15:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- PeakAsian, Yes, the reference needs to be WP:RELIABLE. ~ Amkgp 💬 15:38, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Ok, I added citations to the article and have submitted for review. Thanks. - ~ PeakAsian —Preceding undated comment added 15:48, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- PeakAsian, accepting your offline references on the ground of WP:GOODFAITH ~ Amkgp 💬 15:52, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the update, I changed all the citations to include a link. - ~ PeakAsian —Preceding undated comment added 17:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Feedback on Cleaspring Ltd Wiki page
Hi.
You kindly gave us some feedback on my page for Clearspring Ltd. I was hoping you could have a look at the updated copy and page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jag872 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Jag872, I have two suggestions: (a) add {{Infobox company}} and (b) remove excessive links as per Wikipedia:External links#Minimize the number of links. Please refer WP:NCORP for help.
- If you require further help, please drop your queries at the AfC Help Desk or at Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! ~ Amkgp 💬 14:17, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Discussion about an article I created on Wikipedia
Hey! I am a Wikipedia editor as you might know. I had created a Wikipedia page named Omkar International School, Dombivli, which, as far as I know, has been reverted to drafts by you. If you think that the Wikipedia article is not appropriate, please inform me that what edits should I do. If you doubt the authenticity of the page, then you no need to worry at all. The page is giving 100% relevant information. Please publish the page again if you can, please.
Thank you and you have a good day ahead. Meet Jagtap (talk) 15:18, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Meet Jagtap, The article/draft should be in accordance to Wikipedia's General notability guideline and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Currently, the draft fails at both.
- If you require further help, please drop your queries at the AfC Help Desk or at Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! ~ Amkgp 💬 15:24, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Amkgp, Okay, I understand that this is one of the precautions Wikipedia takes, still, I am ready to post photos of the school.
Request on 18:23:37, 24 October 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Garikoitz Knörr
Hello, and thank you for reviewing the page about my brother, Eneko Knörr. The text on the page https://angelinvestorschool.com/speakers/eneko-knorr/ was written by himself, and when I asked him for his bio to create his Wikipedia page, he sent me that text and of course he gave me permission to use it. If that explanation is not enough, please let me know and I'll edit and modify the text. Alternatively, if there is anything else I can do, any help will be much appreciated. Thank you, Gari Garikoitz Knörr (talk) 18:23, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi, you have recently accepted Draft:Marinus Vreugde, which should never have been accepted. Major problems include:
- It is a poor machine translation. The Dutch word "Vreugd" (his surname) is translated as "Joy", as can be seen in sentences like "Joy was a son of " and "Joy made construction sculpture".
- The article was at the wrong title, it is "Marinus Vreugd", not "Marinus Vreugde" (probably a translation "back" from "Joy"...)
- It also has no indication at all that it is a translation of the Dutch Wikipedia article, which is required (preferably in edit summary and at the talk page)
- The sourcing is dreadful, with things like " "De Heerenveense Courant maakt gebruik van cookies". toestemming.ndcmediagroep.nl." and " "DPG Media Privacy Gate". myprivacy.dpgmedia.nl. ". Not only are the titles ridiculous, but have you even opened these sources? That "Heerenveense" one doesn't work, and the other one leads to an article which has nothing to do with Vreugd or the fact it supposedly cites.
Please be more careful when accepting articles (in general, and certainly with this user). Fram (talk) 08:59, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Fram, Yes, you are absolutely right.
Self-trout myself. Thanks for the pointing the errors and moving back to draft-space. Needs to be more careful with with the user. ~ Amkgp 💬 13:19, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour on October 27 around 14:00 (UTC). It will probably be shorter than an hour. [2]
- Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed. [3]
Changes later this week
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
Future changes
- Since the introduction of the interface administrators user group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS pages. Now they can. [4]
- There was a problem with the Change Tags. The software would apply the "Reverted" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new edits. [5]
- The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is finalized. [6]

- You can no longer read Wikimedia wikis if your browser uses very old TLS. This is because it is a security problem for everyone. It could lead to downgrade attacks. Since October 29, 2020, users who use old TLS versions will not be able to connect to Wikimedia projects. A list of browser recommendations is available. All modern operating systems and browsers are always able to reach Wikimedia projects. [7]
There is a new automatic tracking category available: Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments. It collects pages which use the {{formatnum}}parser function with invalid (non-numeric) input, e.g.{{formatnum:TECHNEWS}}. Note that{{formatnum:123,456}}is also invalid input: as described in the documentation, the argument should be unformatted so that it can be reliably and correctly localised. The tracking category will help identify problematic usage and double-formatting. The new tracking category's name can be translated at translatewiki. [8]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from November 3. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from November 4. It will be on all wikis from November 5 (calendar).- Administrators and stewards will be able to use a special page (Special:CreateLocalAccount) to force local account creation for a global account. This is useful when account creation is blocked for that user (by a block or a filter). [9]
- The Reply tool will be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature on most Wikipedias on November 4. This change excludes the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias, plus a few smaller Wikipedias with special circumstances. You can read the help page and the troubleshooting guide for more information. [10]
Future changes
- A discussion has been restarted about using a Unicode minus sign (− U+2212) in the output of
{{formatnum}}when it is given a negative argument. [11] - In the future IP addresses of unregistered users will not be shown for everyone. They will get an alias instead. There will be a new user right or an opt-in function for more vandal fighters to see the IPs of unregistered users. There would be some criteria for who gets the user right or opt-in. There will also be other new tools to help handle vandalism. This is early in the process and the developers are still collecting information from the communities before they suggest solutions.

Page mover granted
Hello, Amkgp. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Eddie891 Talk Work 17:37, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Fair use logo schoolname articles
I see you have found one of the many files I uploaded in that format. File:Fair use logo Harris Academy Rainham.png As long as the link to the article infobox is updated at the same time I have no opinion on what they should be called. I do point out the Fair_use_logo prefix is there to prevent file-name conflict. The file name is checked by as valid by the Upload Wizard. There is a requirement that the image name should be as informative as possible: it is a logo and it is fair use, which makes it easier to help newbies. Removing the prefix results in a filename that is incorrect as these files illustrate an attribute of the current management of the school not the physical entity we have written about in the article. If there was an important principle that needs to be discussed- I would expect it to be open on the WP:WPSCHOOLS talkpage: --ClemRutter (talk) 17:11, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- ClemRutter, The licensing of logo {{Non-free logo}} clearly defines it to be fair use. Thus its non-necessary to be mentioned in the name. The proposed name do not create conflict. Since you mention

No issues in your putting the page in draft. However, I made the page because a lot of people, especially mediapersons in India, have started searching for this. I had given a link to highly authoritative source on this news and thought that people should know the correct facts [and updates as things develop]. So, the scanty info was published.
