I don't see the reason why you are nominating pages like Football Today and Liverpool F.C. Player of the Season without any specific reasons. I know you are an editor but don't do anything you like.Sammanhumagain (talk) 15:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, glad it worked out

I'm only really on Wikipedia in fits and starts. Sorry I missed your request, glad you got it protected by someone else, and in the future, if you have something time-sensitive, you should probably ask someone else because I'm pretty unreliable. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:07, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Emmanuel Sonupe

Hi. I believe that I do know Sonupe's England stats, but I'm afraid I can't provide a good citation for his under-16 cap because the FA has deleted the match reports and his personal profile on their site. I'll leave it to you to decide whether or not you want to include the numbers in his profile.

England under-16s: 1 cap, 0 goals.

Capped v Northern Ireland on 12 October 2011 - see http://www.englandfootballblog.com/2011/10/13/england-u16s-beat-northern-ireland-3-1/ for a probably inadmissible source.

England under-18s: 2 caps, 1 goal.

Capped v Croatia on 3 March 2013 - see http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2014/mar/england-under-18-2-1-croatia
Capped and scored v Croatia on 5 March 2013 - see http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2014/mar/england-u18s-1-2-croatia-match-report

Those are the only games that he's played for England at any level.

Do what you will! All the best. Clicriffhard (talk) 22:12, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion criteria G2

I had to decline a number of G2 requests you made for (short) draft articles. A short article attempt is not a test page. A test page is random characters or content that makes it clear it is a test of the system (for example, text that says "testing the save button"). These short draft articles generally can't be deleted under any speedy deletion criteria and must go through the normal channels - either waiting 6 months without an edit for G13 deletion or being sent to MfD. --ThaddeusB (talk) 06:10, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Johnstone

Hello. I agree it's odd. He was on the bench for them on Tuesday, and there's nothing on either club's website or twitter feed. BCFC have instant recall on him, so I assume they must have used it, whether unilaterally or by mutual agreement, but why it hasn't been mentioned I've no idea. Until it is mentioned, though, it's probably best to leave him where he is. However bleedinobvious it may be to conclude that if someone else is wearing his number, he can't be at CTFC, it's still pure original research. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

He could have picked up an injury in training that has not been reported yet. We'll see :) Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 18:00, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm guessing it's more likely that the new manager doesn't fancy him so BCFC have recalled him by mutual consent with a view to loaning him somewhere he might get a game (the loan window is still open, isn't it?) CTFC website haven't caught up with the change in personnel yet...

I feel a bit sorry for the lad, tbh. He was scoring for fun for Celtic youth, could have stayed there but wanted first-team football, could hvae moved to a decent Scottish club but Celtic played hardball over the fee, came to us largely because he'd worked with Alan Thompson at Celtic, then Thompson left, wasn't ready for the English 2nd division, was doing all right at Macclesfield but was recalled and sent to Cheltenham, was doing all right there till they got a new manager who wanted his own choice of players... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

I was just reading the CTFC message boards, and it seems like you're right. He didn't impress :(. The loan transfer window closes on 26 March, so plenty of time for him to find a new club :).. JMHamo (talk) 18:24, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

A cynic might think the wording "back at Blues following the end of his loan spell" on the BCFC site a little disingenuous :-) Definite implication of loan having expired, which it hadn't. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, why are you not allowing page "South Africa's Top Backstrokers" to be redirected to "South Africa's Top Rated/Ranked Backstrokers" considering that all your requirements have already been complied with?

VisualEditor News #2—2015

Did you know?

With Citoid in VisualEditor, you click the 'book with bookmark' icon and paste in the URL for a reliable source:

Citoid looks up the source for you and returns the citation results. Click the green "Insert" button to accept its results and add them to the article:

After inserting the citation, you can change it. Select the reference, and click the "Edit" button in the context menu to make changes.

The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.

Recent improvements

VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.

The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.

Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.

The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.

Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.

The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.

You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.

The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.

Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.

Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead (T90734).

Looking ahead

The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.

The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon.

look again

Before sending me a message about ME being in an edit war and WARNING me to use the talk page would you like to check your facts.

I amended a grammatically incorrect and very subjective paragraph. I explained why in talk. The author reverted it without any comments. I put it back and again in talk asked for input and not just a reversion. He again just reverted it. Fine. Leave the article looking like it was written by a 2yo monkey. I won't be correcting any more. Lemlinspire (talk) 17:50, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Deletion

My thanks for your recent communication. I kept the article because I thought it was well-written and to remind myself that I chose the Sandbox method because I thought that was the Community-minded route. The other article was not present or else I would not not have put the effort in. However, the retained article did no longer serve any practical purpose, so no real objections to the deletion.Protozoon (talk) 22:12, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

RE: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Jamck#Your_draft_article.2C_Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation.2FBobby_McKeown

I am very frustrated with this experience of trying to publish a page in Wikipedia. After having the article initially declined, I was very shortly contacted by someone who "worked" for Wikipedia, offering to guarantee approval of the article if I paid $120 (which I did not). After making some changes it was declined again. Certainly not the most ethical situation.

Jamck (talk) 12:35, 28 May 2015 (UTC)jamck

@Jamck: That somebody involved in the Article for Creation process offered to "publish" your article for cash is very concerning.. do you know the User name of this individual and I will get it investigated for you? Also, you can get your article text Userfied if you would like that? JMHamo (talk) 12:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

This happened awhile back. I will see if I can find any of the information. I should have reported it at the time, but my father passed away near the time it happened and it got pushed to the background priority-wise. I would be interested in have it userfied.

Hello, and thanks. I'll probably nominate it for GA once I've got the international section to the same standard as the rest, both tone and sourcing leave a bit to be desired and the content's a bit variable.

VisualEditor News #3—2015

Did you know?

When you click on a link to an article, you now see more information:

The link tool has been re-designed:

There are separate tabs for linking to internal and external pages.

The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has created new interfaces for the link and citation tools, as well as fixing many bugs and changing some elements of the design. Some of these bugs affected users of VisualEditor on mobile devices. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.

A test of VisualEditor's effect on new editors at the English Wikipedia has just completed the first phase. During this test, half of newly registered editors had VisualEditor automatically enabled, and half did not. The main goal of the study is to learn which group was more likely to save an edit and to make productive, unreverted edits. Initial results will be posted at Meta later this month.

Recent improvements

Auto-fill features for citations are available at a few Wikipedias through the citoid service. Citoid takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. If Citoid is enabled on your wiki, then the design of the citation workflow changed during May. All citations are now created inside a single tool. Inside that tool, choose the tab you want (⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-auto⧽, ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-manual⧽, or ⧼citoid-citeFromIDDialog-mode-reuse⧽). The cite button is now labeled with the word "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" rather than a book icon, and the autofill citation dialog now has a more meaningful label, "⧼Citoid-citeFromIDDialog-lookup-button⧽", for the submit button.

The link tool has been redesigned based on feedback from Wikipedia editors and user testing. It now has two separate sections: one for links to articles and one for external links. When you select a link, its pop-up context menu shows the name of the linked page, a thumbnail image from the linked page, Wikidata's description, and/or appropriate icons for disambiguation pages, redirect pages and empty pages. Search results have been reduced to the first five pages. Several bugs were fixed, including a dark highlight that appeared over the first match in the link inspector (T98085).

The special character inserter in VisualEditor now uses the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki can also create a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Please read the instructions for customizing the list at mediawiki.org. Also, there is now a tooltip to describing each character in the special character inserter (T70425).

Several improvements have been made to templates. When you search for a template to insert, the list of results now contains descriptions of the templates. The parameter list inside the template dialog now remains open after inserting a parameter from the list, so that users don’t need to click on "⧼visualeditor-dialog-transclusion-add-param⧽" each time they want to add another parameter (T95696). The team added a new property for TemplateData, "Example", for template parameters. This optional, translatable property will show up when there is text describing how to use that parameter (T53049).

The design of the main toolbar and several other elements have changed slightly, to be consistent with the MediaWiki theme. In the Vector skin, individual items in the menu are separated visually by pale gray bars. Buttons and menus on the toolbar can now contain both an icon and a text label, rather than just one or the other. This new design feature is being used for the cite button on wikis where the Citoid service is enabled.

The team has released a long-desired improvement to the handling of non-existent images. If a non-existent image is linked in an article, then it is now visible in VisualEditor and can be selected, edited, replaced, or removed.

About your message

I believe that the warning was okay as she had disruptively edited an article, so I left a level 1 warning, I don't see how it was bad, and one other editor has supported the message. I do not see how anything bad has occured here can you explain please. Regards. TeaLover1996 ^{Talk to me ☏} 15:46, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Bullying

JMHamo has just notified me that he has put my account up for investigation for questioning one of his AfDs. Considering I've been on Wikipedia for almost 10 years, and have been in good standing the entire time, this is a bit unusual. Also since I contested your AfD. Unfortunately this is a form of cyberbullying and Wikipedia or whomever else I report this to won't allow this. It is also the reason that less and less people have started contributing to Wikipedia.Simile (talk) 00:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

@Be mcd: It was restored on June 10 by JohnCD : - Draft:UrbanToronto.ca. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 16:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Woh! Speeding Draft Deletions?

I understand the need to deleted drafts that go unedited. But deleting with less than one day of notice seems a unnecessarily fast. Draft:Maryann Krieglstein had already been approved as wp:notable by multiple reviewers but I had been asked to remove a few un-encyclopedic issues. I wanted to step away and let come back to it with a fresh opinion. Time got away from me and I forgot it was still sitting there. The deletion notice was a great remainder, but having it already deleted by the time I logged in today just creates unnecessary bureaucratic work for me and other editors. Why the need for such rapid deletion without letting the warning do its job? --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 20:40, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@Dkriegls: What are you talking about? I'm not an Admin, so I can't delete. You have sent this message to the wrong person. JMHamo (talk) 20:43, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Also, if you follow the instructions as WP:REFUND/G13 you can have it restored by an Admin. It's not gone for good. JMHamo (talk) 20:45, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

I realize that, I'm curious as to why your warning on my talk about "The page will shortly be deleted" was made a day of the deletion and the first bot warning was made just several hours before the deletion? What's the point of those warnings if there is near little time to act on them? Looking at your take page I see this is not a problem unique to me. I understand you're not an adimn, but the problem I have is the with the warnings. The edit you are making. How can we get them on people's talk pages before the deletion happens...with plenty of time to act on them?--Dkriegls (talk to me!) 20:55, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Fair point, I apologise. @Anthony Bradbury:, could you please restore Draft:Maryann Krieglstein. Thank you. JMHamo (talk) 21:01, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
