Apologies

Sorry for the revert on Cuban sandwich; there was a lot of negative activity on the page over the past couple of days and I lost track of which edits needed to be cleaned up. Zeng8r (talk) 13:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

No problem, I appreciate your efforts too. – 64andtim (talk) 19:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Seltorop (09:43, 8 January 2024)

Hello, I wrot an article last week and it was deleted because of its looks like a marketing article about portless. How can I re-write or post again with different content ? --Seltorop (talk) 09:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Chin Tiki

I added the following to the Chin Tiki article: "In 1975, a gay bar, complete with D.J., called "Top of the Tiki" briefly existed on the top floor of the building." How do I know? I went there. I knew the DJ. It opened and closed in 1975. That's not good enough evidence? 216.252.210.83 (talk) 07:48, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome. I've reverted your edit because it was unsourced. Reliable sources are required to add with the content (to make sure it's both verifiable and can support the material), and if there is no citation for the content you decide to add, then it shouldn't be added to the article in question. Thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 07:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi 64

you have quite some threat there. Are you hounded by vandals all the time? 2402:E280:3D6A:593:AC0C:F488:AF0B:EF04 (talk) 09:39, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Actually, it's not necessary to ask "who is adakiko?" on their talk page. And yes, for the last question, the answer is sometimes. – 64andtim (talk) 09:58, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Atluox (00:36, 13 January 2024)

Hi -- been a while since last edit.

Trying to create articles in English for young Luxembourgish politicians, any templates I should follow?

Many don't have links at all.

Liz Braz, Christos Floros, Jana Degrott, Fabricio Costa, Jessie Thill, Amar Armani (in case you want to check it out) --Atluox (talk) 00:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! You can use the {{Infobox politician}} template for your drafts, and it looks like you have a draft currently active, Draft:Christos Floros. However, it probably has the possibility to be declined, but don't worry or overreact if it was declined by an articles for creation (AfC) reviewer; you may continue to improve the draft (adding adequate and reliable sources, following a neutral point of view, etc.) until it is ready to become published in the mainspace. Thanks! – 64andtim (talk) 06:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Marshyg (05:50, 13 January 2024)

How does protection of wiki page works? Wanted to semi-protect a page but don't know how. --Marshyg (talk) 05:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome! Unfortunately, users who are not an administrator (sysop) cannot semi-protect pages. Page protection is used to prevent vandalism, disruptive editing, edit wars, and others. Hope that helps, and thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 06:24, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Is there a way we can request them to protect a page? Marshyg (talk) 11:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, and when you see "Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level", click on the blue button below that, and insert the page you want to be protected and the reason for protection (such as persistent vandalism or disruptive editing, and other reasons). Thank you. – 64andtim (talk) 11:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Trying to Edir

Hello - Trying to edit this page -- https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Willy_Bogner_Sr. - but you flagged me. Not sure what I did wrong. I wanted to add, "Willy Bogner, Sr. was a Nazi and an SS officer." Here is the reference: Österreichs Skisport im National-Sozialismus: Anpassung-Verfolgung-Kollaboration, by Andreas Praher, Ph.D. Dr. Praher is a postdoctoral researcher in history at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg. 85.59.9.210 (talk) 12:24, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have undone the edit because appears to be unsourced. If there are no reliable sources that support the claim, then the content should not be added to the article in question. – 64andtim (talk) 12:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Here is the source again : Österreichs Skisport im National-Sozialismus: Anpassung-Verfolgung-Kollaboration, by Andreas Praher, Ph.D. Dr. Praher is a postdoctoral researcher in history at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg. 85.59.9.210 (talk) 14:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
His source seems to be doi:10.1515/9783110724127.
Edit: On page 328, reference 114 specifically. Nobody (talk) 14:30, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
After I have taken a look at Wikipedia:Digital Object Identifier, maybe somebody could take it to the talk page for consensus. As for the IP address, apologies if I have mistaken your edit as "non-constructive" after it appeared to be in good faith, and this will not happen again. – 64andtim (talk) 14:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
I'll ask someone from the Nazi affiliation task force if they think it should be added. Nobody (talk) 15:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello - Please let me know the status of this. Thanks. 85.59.9.210 (talk) 16:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
This article uses the reference I provided to substantiate the claim that Willy Bogner St was a Nazi and SS Officer: https://www.skiinghistory.org/article/skiing-nazi-austria 85.59.9.210 (talk) 16:32, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Saxon greetings ?

Hello, reverter. What do you think "Saxon greetings" really means ? I really want to know, as I'm very interested in all kinds of gymnastics. You seem to be an expert. Please inform us all, bring yourself in, thanx. Article you reverted seems dubious so far, to say the least. --2001:A61:5DD:D01:D4BF:FC55:3DC:124 (talk) 18:05, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Per this diff, I have reverted it because it didn't appear to be an improvement. Vandalism, disruptive editing, and other types of non-constructive edits are not allowed on Wikipedia, and may result in being blocked from editing. Thanks. – 64andtim (talk) 20:17, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations!🥳

Dear 64andtim My friend, Hi, I'd really happy to see now you're successfully obtained Patrollers rights, I was waiting for this time when you obtained this meta's advanced right, If need any help, so, please feel free to contact me on my usertalkpage. 😊~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 17:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Mop reserved template

Hello friend. Regarding User talk:Philipnelson99#There is a mop reserved in your name, you might already know this, but that template is usually used on prospective admins rather than prospective EFMs. Admin is a bit harder to get than EFM and usually requires content work such as a good article in order for it to go smooth. That template also notifies a bunch of people. Or if you already knew all that, disregard :) Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Codename Noreste, I hope you are doing well. I am new to Wikipedia and want to help the online community by adding/updating information on Wikipedia.

If yes what are the guidelines for adding a company page? --Teerathtomar (talk) 09:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello! You might want to fully read this page first, and note than autoconfirmed users (whose accounts have more than 10 edits and have 4 days of age or more) allowed to create pages in the mainspace, but there is the article wizard in which any user can create pages in the draftspace. This means that new articles can be created and developed for a limited period of time, and this allow editors to develop new articles and to receive feedback before being moved to the mainspace.

Yes it does help a lot. Going through the article there is no mention of a practical way to show location on a map even it mentions relative and absolute location, not even Google maps. On that note if you are not comfortable with the previous link it could be replace by google map? Adamou752 (talk) 17:33, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [27]
  • The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [28]

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [29][30]
  • The Special:Search results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [31]

Future changes

  • In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [32]
  • Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
    1. Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
    2. Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id

Recent changes

  • The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [35]
  • New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [36][37]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [38][39]
  • The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Verifying request - User rename on Miraheze

Hello, @Codename Noreste, a user on the Miraheze project has requested to be renamed to match this username. To avoid potential for impersonation of a Wikimedian, I'm reaching out to confirm the veracity of this request before I proceed.

Regards, NotAracham (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@NotAracham: this was me who requested to be renamed from Caimántriste to this username. Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 La Suma 16:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Excellent, thanks for the quick reply. Will execute that, please file a request from the testing account for the second piece and I'll get that one done as well. --NotAracham (talk) 15:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon. Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.

Tech News: 2024-24

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • The software used to render SVG files has been updated to a new version, fixing many longstanding bugs in SVG rendering. [48]
  • The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It was changed last week in some skins (Vector legacy and Minerva). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in Vector-2022. The developers are still considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.
  • The HTML markup used for citations by Parsoid changed last week. In places where Parsoid previously added the mw-reference-text class, Parsoid now also adds the reference-text class for better compatibility with the legacy parser. More details are available. [49]

Problems

  • There was a bug with the Content Translation interface that caused the tools menus to appear in the wrong location. This has now been fixed. [50]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 June. It will be on all wikis from 13 June (calendar). [51][52]
  • The new version of MediaWiki includes another change to the HTML markup used for citations: Parsoid will now generate a <span class="mw-cite-backlink"> wrapper for both named and unnamed references for better compatibility with the legacy parser. Interface administrators should verify that gadgets that interact with citations are compatible with the new markup. More details are available. [53]
  • On multilingual wikis that use the <translate> system, there is a feature that shows potentially-outdated translations with a pink background until they are updated or confirmed. From this week, confirming translations will be logged, and there is a new user-right that can be required for confirming translations if the community requests it. [54]

Question from Fractal Figment (13:29, 15 June 2024)

Hi Codename Noreste,

My first draft article was deleted by user Jimfbleak, who left a note on my talk page saying that it was deleted because I may have a conflict of interest. But I don't have any such conflict and had thought that my tone was pretty neutral. The article was for the book World on the Brink, so it necessarily contained a lot of content describing the book's arguments.

Do you have any tips for understanding how to adhere to the neutrality rule while summarizing the arguments made by a nonfiction book?

Thanks, Fractal Figment (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello! You might want to fully read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view; in short, this page should be representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible, without any bias.; bias in this context means adding a fact in favor or against of something. You should also read Wikipedia:Verifiability (other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source) and Wikipedia:No original research (facts, allegations, and ideas for which no reliable, published sources exist; this also means combining published sources in a way that none of them actually say). I hope this helps here. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 20:33, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

edit and publish

Hello, I want to edit a specific wikipedia page and create a new also for my doctor, how do I go over it successfully ? Onjoroblue20 (talk) 16:59, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello there! Unfortunately, it looks like your account has less than ten edits and has recently joined this project – non-autoconfirmed users who either have more than four days of joining but less than ten edits, or more than 10 edits but less than the four-day mark, may not create articles in the mainspace; the same goes for unregistered users who do not have an account.
Furthermore, regarding notability about the doctor you mentioned, it looks like they are not notable to have their own article yet; could you explain further? Thank you, and happy editing. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 20:41, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
Okay so I have to make 10 edits first and wait for 4 days, is when I will be able to publish on mainspace. About the Dr. Doctor is a renowned surgeonist who saved my life through a major surgery. Few weeks after the operation in India, he was checking on me we had a talk and I told him am a professional writer and scholar, recently he contacted me if I could create for him biography and memior, then assist him to upload it here and I agreed since I owe my good health to him. He is a medical specialist with several awards and have done over 20 research papers posted on various research journals worldwide .Can you help me through guidance to publish his biography here.

  • People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [55]

Currently only Growth features are configurable, but the extension will support other Community Configuration use cases in the future. [56][57]
  • The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [58]

Problems

  • Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [59]
  • Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [60]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [61][62]
  • Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [63]
  • Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [64]
