Invitation

Hello, Aytk,

The Editing team is asking very experienced editors like you for your help with VisualEditor. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.

June 2015

Hello, I wanted to know why my recent edits were removed. I have been trying to add more countries for their top peak for Selena Gomez's singles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennykoschny (talk • contribs) 18:19, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I understand now. So, how many can the discography have, as to the charts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennykoschny (talk • contribs) 18:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The standard is the 10 most relevant charts. Put all other chart positions under the song's article page instead. Hope this helps! — AYTK talk. 18:24, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Succession box

Hi! Is there a particular reason why you added the succession box to e.g. OS X Yosemite, OS X El Capitan, etc.? The infobox does the exact same thing and I find the succession box unusual. The template itself notes that it’s largely deprecated.—–Totie (talk) 13:57, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I added the succession box merely to keep it consistent to the style of the iOS articles. While the infobox does the same thing, I don't see the harm in adding it either. It doesn't take a lot of space while allowing readers that have scrolled to the bottom to quickly succeed to the next OS version. If it is officially deprecated, it won't be hard to remove it. Hope this answers your question. — AYTK talk. 17:09, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An explanation

Hello, Aytk

How do you do? I hope I am not bothering you at a bad time.

As you might have noticed, I have reverted two of your changes today. I thought perhaps an explanation is in order. In case of the Microsoft Office article you had added Cocoa to |programming language= but Cocoa is not a programming language. It is an application programming interface or API. It can be invoked from any programming languages.

As for Microsoft Office 2016, the revert was mainly a device of attracting your attention. If you look at my next edit you see that I have divided everything into a new infobox. After all the Mac version has a different release date (sooner), different version number, different platform, different OS and different set of languages. The sum of these differences was far too much a burden on one infobox, to such an extent that you resorted to hack; i.e., you had added non-numeric values to |language count=. This is bad because a desktop web browser is not the only mean of people visiting Wikipedia. Mobile web browsers are equally important, as well as custom apps and the various browser plug-ins. When we use a hack, we definitely break something that we don't see it, but somebody else does and that somebody else is harmed.

Best regards,

Hello, Codename Lisa,

About the programming language, the main problem is that nearly all applications coded on OS X uses Apple's API (such as the Cocoa API) as it complies with a lot of Apple's human interface guidelines. I guess you could possibly write that it's written in Objective-C since that's what Cocoa is based on, but nearly all OS X applications on Wikipedia lists Cocoa as the programming language. Even tech articles usually write something like "this application was written in Cocoa".

About the infobox, that's fine with me. I've changed the reference used for the language count in OS X since the one used was for Windows.

Thanks.

Hey. I see you two have met. About the Cocoa thing, it is a very bad version of other stuff exists, i.e. it is an unfortunate widespread mistake, one that needs to be corrected. I have seen the equivalent of this mistake in other forms; sometimes Qt (software), Java ME and .NET Framework get listed as the language. (In case of Java ME, the language is always Java (programming language).) These can go the |platform= parameter. And this just the beginning of things that are standardized wrong in Wikipedia. You see, all articles on Mac components use {{Infobox software}} and have a redundant |latest stable version= too, whereas they should use {{Infobox OS component}}. The version number is redundant because it is always the same as OS itself. I know this example was totally irrelevant; but I mean to show you that editors make a lot of mistake. If you want to defy them and correct them, don't be shy. Fleet Command (talk) 03:59, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RE: April 2016

Whoa there now something obvious needs a resource?! like in Problem (Ariana Grande song), the song was released in April 28, 2014, obviously she must have been working on this song for so long, she must have been started recorded this song in 2013, According to the album My Everything (Ariana Grande album), the singles were recorded ranging from October 2013 to May 2014, So why are you telling me that you need to cite resources which originally there were no resources listed there? I am not trying to hack the webpage, I am trying to add minor edit. Also, that Adore (Cashmere Cat song), the single was released on March 3, 2015, what do you think? was it also recorded in 2015? obviously not! The single has been worked for a long period of time so it must have been recorded in 2014, that is why I am adding content that are very specific without a resource. Again I am not trying to hack Wikipedia, or violating rules, I mean, something very specific, needs a resource? Come on! --2.49.102.135 (talk) 20:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Any information listed in the articles should include a reference as well, and assumptions shouldn't be made nor included. In regards to the dates listed for singles recorded on the My Everything (Ariana Grande album) article, they should be removed if there aren't any reliable source included. The same would go for the Adore (Cashmere Cat song), hence why the date recorded field have been left empty after the articles have been created so long ago. Hope this helps. — AYTK talk. 20:15, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are asking me hence why the date recorded field have been left empty after the articles have been created so long ago? I think you should ask them who created the articles long ago why haven't they included a recording date, like all other singles from other albums from other singers? --2.49.102.135 (talk) 20:43, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not asking you why they have been left empty for so long. I'm simply stating that they have been left empty for so long because there weren't any reliable sources that backs up when they were recorded. Hope this helps. — AYTK talk. 22:28, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
