Too many bits

U1 in name only

[edit]

Hi! User:JPxG/Simping may have technically been eligible for U1, but it was in that user's userspace only because they had just moved it there from mainspace. I assume it's an IAR case of getting rid of something that would have been eligible for a different CSD anyway, but it certainly looks like a fishy way of doing IAR. – Uanfala (talk) 14:34, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Uanfala: Could you clarify the issue here? JPxG had asked me (off-wiki) to delete the page and tagged it with a CSD template. The page history was only a page move log and a redirect template - living there only as a technicality of some page moves. G7 might have been technically the more accurate criterion but it seemed much of a muchness to me. Sam Walton (talk) 14:56, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Uanfala: So this is what happened: I wrote a draft in my userspace at User:JPxG/Simp and, when it was finished enough to be an article, intended to move-over-redirect to Simp, since that had only ever been a redirect template. But I found I couldn't do that, since the redirect creation and the {{rcat shell}} addition were separate edits. So I figured I'd move that page to somewhere in my userspace, and in the process of doing so, create a single-revision redirect at its original title, which I'd be able to move the page over. My thinking was that it'd be easier if I figured out a way to do the thing that didn't necessitate sysop involvement... but needless to say, this did not work, so there ended up being a whopping three pages to CSD and I did have to ask for help, lol. In retrospect, of course, it would have been much easier to simply just histmerge the two articles. jp×g 15:03, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
JPxG, I don't see the need for a histmerge here, as the two pages had unrelated histories. The simplest way to move the page would have been to ask for it at WP:RMT, or if any CSD criterion were to be used that would have been WP:G6 on the redirect blocking the move. Samwalton9, the issue is that WP:U1 doesn't apply to pages that a user has moved into their userspace (Pages which have previously been moved are only eligible if all previous titles were in the user's userspace). WP:G7 wouldn't have applied either, as they weren't the creator of the redirect (and G7 doesn't apply to the automatically created redirect after a move). Another, unrelated, issue is that the existence of a dab page at this title was the result of a discussion, so probably shouldn't have been moved away without another discussion. – Uanfala (talk) 15:28, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Black Girl Festival

[edit]

Hello, Samwalton9. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Black Girl Festival".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:58, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam, since you added the relevant text (and uploaded the relevant newspaper article!) to this page, I just thought I'd let you know that the article was subject to some vandalism in 2018 by a long-term problem user, among other things changing a year from 1996 to 1960, which I've just undone. I also fixed the incorrect year in the translation at the Chinese Wikipedia. I've been following up on edits by this vandal; I didn't think they were quite *that* sneaky, until now.

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Retraction watch?

[edit]

First, I didn't have any test cases in mind, it was just the article in The Economist that made me think that Wikipedia could be part of the problem (citing retracted papers) but conversely part of the solution (by visibly cancelling the citation and tagging the accompanying text as dubious). But before you do a lot of work on digging the bot out of the weeds, it might be a good idea to verify that you can still use the RW database because they've had to restrict access for lack of funding. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 14:44, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@John Maynard Friedman: By 'tests' I was referring to software testing - the bot code currently doesn't have much in the way of internal quality assurance! I actually wasn't using the Retraction Watch database; I spoke to them briefly but there were concerns about free access to the database that we couldn't get past, so the bot as currently designed uses the Crossref API to search for papers marked as 'retracted' to populate its internal database. The idea was to do a similar query in Pubmed too. Sam Walton (talk) 17:33, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot template notifying user of block

[edit]

Hey! Not sure if this is something that's optional but the user you blocked for vandalising pages such as WP:AIV doesn't have the template notifying them that they were blocked on their talk page. Again I don't know if this is simply something that's optional as I'm not an admin but I just figured I'd let you know. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:04, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia library url upgrade

I'm eagerly following the developments at T294919 and so excited about how it's moving along.

How we will see unregistered users

[edit]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hello There

[edit]

I note on your UP that you function in The Wikipedia Library, I’ve seen this around for a while now but I’m not entirely sure I understand the core meaning, let alone how to optimize it, please could you be so kind as explain what it is and how to optimize it? Thank you. Celestina007 (talk) 13:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Celestina007. The Wikipedia Library is a project which enables active Wikipedia editors to access reliable sources of information which would usually be inaccessible because they require you to pay to access them. If you log in to the library, you can access them without paying anything! You can use the search bar at the top of the library to search across the collections from one place, or you can go to the individual website you're interested in and click 'Access collection' to go to their website and do research. Does that help? What do you mean by 'optimizing' it? Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 13:21, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much this does help. I received a notification sometime last month that I could now access it but didn’t Know who to ask for sure. You have been helpful when I used the word optimizing, I meant how do I use it which you graciously explained, thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate your explanation. Thank you very much.

Features for new users coming soon (and mentors, like you, wanted!)

[edit]

Hello. As you're currently a host at the Teahouse, I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get involved and help out directly with one of them.

  • Firstly, they will be offered a range of 'suggested edits', and encouraged to make simple improvements to pages that interest them. (Being aware of this feature would be helpful for all Teahouse hosts if you're likely to offer advice on tasks for them to start out doing.)
  • There's also a 'Your impact' box to show them how many people have seen the pages they've just edited.
  • Finally, each new user is randomly assigned a 'mentor' from a list of friendly, experienced editors, like yourself. If they get stuck, they can ask a question directly to them via a Your mentor box, and hopefully get a swift, friendly answer from that mentor. Currently, this feature is given to 2% of new users, but it's set to increase to around 10% in the very near future.

To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User Panini! reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse and elsewhere, and I've had just the one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days, click here.

If becoming a mentor and helping new users on their first few days here interests you - just as you already do at the Teahouse - then please consider signing up at Growth Team features/Mentor list. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their Preferences.

Thank you! Nick Moyes (talk) 22:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism

[edit]

Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [246] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:30, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Technical news

  • Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928)
  • When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)

New administrator activity requirement

[edit]

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.
