don't ask me about off-topic questions or to a page/ article.

When you ask questions or a request, do you look at my edits. And see if the pattern I have, isn't relating to what-ever it is your asking about? Say I read a story from a book (not fully) and I added its "isbn" and the episode list was WP:SPLIT, then your asking me about doing clean up to the episodes. If I did that, it's just points to; "I feel like I'm just repeating myself. Your asking questions to things that I'm clueless at. And playing catch up (reading every rule there is.) Then while that's happening a different user fixed what ever it is your doing, asking, editing at, etc." As seen at here.

Reading from a book is one thing, but seeing a tv show could be different from the book, novel, etc. Then if "said tv show" is way different. I'll take too much of other people's time of doing other things. (So your doing work, but you got stuck doing a pdf. While the next person did not had that problem and finished it hours ago.)

Tech News: 2019-23

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

  • You can now write all special letters in all African Wikipedia languages. This works in the desktop version. [1]
  • There is now a field called depicts on Commons. This is a way to show what is in a picture with the help of Wikidata. It is still in development. [2]
  • Some tools on Toolforge may break on or after 3 June because of database changes. Maintainers should update their tools to use the new schema. [3][4]

Problems

  • You will be able to read but not to edit Wikimedia Commons for 30 minutes on 19 June at 05:00 (UTC). This is to fix a hardware problem. [5]

Changes later this week

  • Some wikis have one tab for the visual editor and one tab for a wikitext editor. Others wikis just have one tab. If your wiki has two tabs, clicking a link to create a new page has always opened a wikitext editor. It will now open the editor you used the last time you edited. [6]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 May. It will be on all wikis from 6 May (calendar).

Meetings

  • Recurrent item Advanced item You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2019).

Administrator changes

removed Andonic • Consumed Crustacean • Enigmaman • Euryalus • EWS23 • HereToHelp • Nv8200pa • Peripitus • StringTheory11 • Vejvančický

CheckUser changes

removed Ivanvector

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
  • An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
  • An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news

  • The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
  • Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

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

  • When you create a PDF from a page on the wiki this is now done by Proton. Before this we used Electron. It should look the same but work better. Both use Chromium. This is a different system from when you collect several articles into a book and make a PDF from them. [7][8]
  • The Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standard OOUI icons. There will be additional minor fixes for positioning in the next deployment. [9]
  • Advanced item Bots and other scripts that do not set an identifiable User-Agent may find their requests strictly rate-limited until they identify themselves properly. [10]

Problems

  • Please check if the Flagged Revisions configuration on your wiki is as you expect (or as it was a few weeks ago). If not, please report it. [11]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Regarding your user warning

June 2019

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Teahouse, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 22:32, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

  • @John from Idegon: - regarding your reversion in this diff, and the user warning you left above, Masumrezarock100 was acting to remedy the situation described here, whereby, through a messy edit conflict, I left multiple comments duplicated in the Teahouse, and subsequently cleaned up all duplicated comments here. This diff was then reverted by Masumrezarock100, who left the same user warning you just left on my talk page. After I explained the edit, and pointed out that this discussion now contained (and once again contains) duplicated comments, and asked that they strike their user warning. They did so, and self-reverted so that my cleaning up of the discussion would be restored, which you then reverted again. As such, I feel this user warning is unwarranted, and that the discussion once again needs tidying up. I will leave it to you to decide what you want to do regarding this matter, and apologise profusely for the messy edit conflict which resulted in this kerfuffle, where two user warnings, and three reversions, have (in my view erroneously) occurred. Thanks, and apologies to all parties, Stormy clouds (talk) 22:51, 19 June 2019 (UTC).
My suggestion would be to fix it again and leave an informative edit summary, not "my bad". I've been guilty of the same things both regarding the edit conflict and the uninformative edit summary. No biggie. John from Idegon (talk) 23:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
It's my fault too for not leaving helpful summary. @John from Idegon: I request you to strike out above comments. Masum Reza📞 23:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Chart history of Dalida

Hello, regarding your edit on Chart history of Dalida that indicates how sources are nbadly arranged: what exactly is wrong? Help me fix it. I wrote all pages, that I used as source for charts, at the bottom of the page with title "Reference" that indicates how those are sources for the chart info. Majority of which are internet sites run by people that do extensive research as they own chart books, while there are several charts provided solely by me as I have few documents. I think it is better like that rather than placing a reference mark next to each country coloumn in the tab, as some countries chart are provided by several different charts. Actually, it is completely unnecessary to ad a ref to each coloumn when we can all sort it at bottom of page. What do you propose? Dalida Editor please ping or message me 20:38, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

@DalidaEditor: Hello, thanks for reaching out. We add citations (sources) in article using {{cite web}} and similar templates. While I've improved citation style, I also tagged the article with another maintenance tag as currently the article has zero inline citations. Please add more inline citations or footnotes. Masum Reza📞 00:15, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Why did you do that? You literally deleted all explanations for each link that tell us which link is source to which country. It took me hours to nicely sort them. I don't understand what is the problem of joining all sources to the one section and nicely write to which country does each source lead? What you made has no logic and my previous state of article was way better....Dalida Editor please ping or message me 00:23, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
@DalidaEditor: External link's original titles are way better than customized title. I did it to improve citation style. I recommend you to add more inline citations. Also I removed some of the references as the appeared to be unreliable. Masum Reza📞 00:29, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

G11 speedies

Hi Masumrezarock100 -- I'd ask you to go more steadily with your G11 tagging; I recognise that people's thresholds differ as to what is unacceptably promotional but some of your recent taggings seem definitely incorrect, eg Barraquito and 2008 European Masters Games. Please bear in mind that deletion is always a last resort for articles that are fundamentally unacceptable. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:05, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tuna as food

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tuna as food requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://beatcancer2010.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/fish-of-the-week-tuna/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please help me to create a page for first ever US Based digital color solution company

I want to create a page for the Florida based company 'zenColor', similar like 'Pantone', 'Adobe', 'X-Rite' based on Color communication, Color model, and ColorChecker. The special thing about this company, It's first ever company in this entire universe, providing Digital Color solutions using a proper Color space, especially for RGB color model, CMYK color model.

@Vivekjain9024: Hello thanks for asking my help. For starters please take a look at WP:COI and WP:COI, we don't recommend editors who are paid and have conflict of interests to edit articles, they are connected to. But you can ask others for help to create your company's article if the subject meets our notability guideline on organizations and companies and general notability guideline. Also the article must not be for promotional purposes. Masum Reza📞 07:37, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Draft Review

Hi @Masurrezarock100, this is in reference to talk we had regarding article 'GlobalLinker' which was rejected. Have made some edit to article giving proper references.

Can you please review the article and suggest possible changes so that it can be included to Wikipedia.

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:GlobalLinker

Thanks for advice you had through talk feature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aksndls (talk • contribs) 08:05, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Aksndls: Hello I had quick look at the draft. I think it's written in a promotional tone. Also two AfC reviewers already suggested SamHolt6 and AngusWOOF some ways to improve the draft and I have nothing more to say. Masum Reza📞 08:24, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Re:Anon warning

It was clear, obvious disruption that warranted more than a Level 1 warning. I decided on using a Level 3 (which I have observed other admins and senior editors using) after reviewing the nature of the IP's edits and their Edit Filter Log. Incidentally, the IP appeared to be an LTA, based on the behavior, and I don't start at Level 1 warnings for potential LTAs. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 08:10, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Incidentally, the IP has been blocked, so it's pretty much moot at this point. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 08:11, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
@LightandDark2000: Yes. I agree that it was obvious vandalism. But still I think you should have used a level 1 warning template to let them know of their mistakes. Not all want to edit constructively on Wikipedia and some of them vandalise Wikipedia because they think of this as a joke. We should issue appropriate warnings as this decreases the number of potential "vandals". Masum Reza📞 08:18, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I know what you're getting at. But I prefer to issue warnings based on the severity/frequency of the vandalism, not how many negative edits (or warnings given) the person has. (This is why I normally start at Level 2 warnings - I tend to reserve Level 1 warnings for non-constructive (but not malicious), experiment edits or test editing.) As for LTAs or long-term trolls, I concur with the admins who believe that warning them will do nothing but give them the attention that they seek. If the vandal involved isn't obviously a troll or an LTA, I may choose to warn them anyway, just to see if they want to continue their disruption (and also so they will be without excuse for their behavior). LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 08:23, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Masum, a level-3 template as a first warning in the above case is exactly the same level I would have started at. The IP was blocked at 07:59. But nine minutes later you post a warning on LightandDark2000's talk in Special:Diff/903362615/903363111 "You should have used level one General note template. Please try to be more careful in future.". Seriously, young man, could you read WP:UWUL and get some hands-on experience before you tell other editors what to do? Sam Sailor 11:37, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I did read WP:UWUL. But chances are they are new and don't know what to do. That's why I think level 1 is more appropriate. Such harsh words discourage them from editing. That's what I think. I've encountered several editors like that. Also some of them tries to experiment with the server. (For example: How long vandalism stays on article? How often they can abuse it?) Sometimes it turns out that they have phycologicalmental disorder to vandalise articles. Masum Reza📞 18:18, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Sometimes it turns out that they have phycological disorder. Just wondering where you obtained your medical degree from. And was it the same website you obtained your dictionary from ? Nick (talk) 20:51, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I am not a doctor. Masum Reza📞 20:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Then how are you qualified to offer medical diagnoses concerning the mental state of any editor ? Nick (talk) 20:57, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I understand. I've struck out my comments. Masum Reza📞 21:01, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

(Oh, this felt awkward.) I find it strange that, back when you were asking me things. I tried to be neutral, until my friend, the ip went and told about my problem. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 13:40, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

@Tainted-wingsz: Hang on a second. Why you are telling me this in this section? Masum Reza📞 13:44, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
It was your writing, (or was it your "comment?") That, if your not specialized in being a doctor. Or not know how to offer therapy (referring to the sentence at "medical diagnoses") and help around. Then you shouldn't have said it. Tainted-wingsz (talk) 14:07, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Yes you are right. I should not have said that. I understand. Masum Reza📞 14:17, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Antoine Hamilton

Dear Mazum Reza. Thanks for your thanks concerning my latest contribution to the article about Antoine Hamilton. I see you are specialising in citation clean-up. I feel that many of the bibliographic citations in the Wikipedia articles are too vague and that one should go further than indicating a page in a book. There usually is a lot of stuff on a page in a book and the reader needs to know and should not be forced to guess what part of the text the reference is referring to? So, I think one should be more precise. In most cases, I feel, citations should include a line or a quote or both. In fact I like quotes: you can see immediately what the source says, without having to look up. What do you think? With many thanks for your efforts. Johannes Schade (talk) 07:33, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

@Johannes Schade: That's why we have {{cite book}} template. I think parameters such as page are enough for readers to verify the information. After all reading one single page and search for information in it isn't that big of a deal. Also about in this article some informations are well cited but some book references at the very bottom, lack page parameters and have volume parameters. So it is hard for readers to verify the information they want to. They have to search through a whole volume for information. Also those references don't refer back to anything in the article. So I think one should add page parameters to those references and add more inline citations. Masum Reza📞 08:00, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
Dear Mazum Reza. I prefer {{citation}} over {{cite book}}. I find that often I do not know very well what I am looking for on the page because the citation mark is at the end of a sentence or even at the end of a paragraph that contains a lot of information which not necessarily all supported by the citation. With regard to Antoine Hamilton, I further improved some of the citations. They now all have page numbers, but I think you refer to the references under "Further reading". Of these I added only the first. I will see what I can do about the others. You are of course perfectly right, one does not know where to look and for what. With regard to the missing inline citations, could you please add some {{citation needed}} where you think they are most needed. Antoine Hamilton is assessed as Start Class and has still has quite a distance to go, especially with regard to the discussion of his work. With many thanks. Johannes Schade (talk) 10:32, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
@Johannes Schade: Yes I was referring to the references in "Further reading" sections and some of the references in References section. After reviewing the article, I believe it meets our C class article criteria and thus I've promoted the article to C quality article status. Also I added citation needed tags to the article more specifically in the lead section as it contains unsourced content and possibly original research. Masum Reza📞 10:56, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
Dear Mazum Reza. Thank you so much for assessing the article and promoting it to C-Class. I am very pleased. As I asked you to do, you added {{citation needed}} marks in the text of the article. However, they are all in the lead. MOS:CITELEAD says that the lead, like the rest, must be verifiable but that authors might want to avoid repetition of citations and that citations in the lead are neither required nor prohibited in every article. I feel that as the lead should never state something that is not elaborated upon or at least repeated in the main body, citations in the lead should seldom be needed unless it states something especially controversial. I will leave them there for now. Perhaps I will understand better with more experience; I am still more a less a newby. Thank you very much for your time. Johannes Schade (talk) 14:41, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
@Johannes Schade: Yes I did consider that. I've seen and edited plenty of articles that have citations in the lead section. Besides a lead section summarizes all key points of an article and that's why I felt the article shouldn't have been left with no citation in the lead section. Also I've added another citation needed tag to the article. I think that the article can be expanded by the information gathered from the links in the further reading section, though I'm not yet certain of it. You can do as you fit with the lead section.

Matt McManamon

Sources have been added to Matt McManamon and another editor has deprodded it. Which steps were followed in the minutes prior to prod tagging, and why did you choose to prod? Best, Sam Sailor 10:15, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Sam Sailor: I chose to prod because it failed notability criteria. Also because of region filtering, Google search didn't show enough sources let alone reliable ones. Masum Reza📞 10:58, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
I doubt region filtering had anything to do with it, more likely it was because the article was located at the misspelling Matt MacManamon. I have moved it. But when I search for "Matt MacManamon", then Google responds: Did you mean: "Matt McManamon". Also, his name was correctly spelled in The Dead 60s, so there's no good excuse for not picking up on that. Prod is for uncontroversial deletions, but that does require a good deal of experience and proper homework. What alternatives to deletion did you consider? Sam Sailor 11:18, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
When I looked for sources on Google, I saw unreliable search results from websites such as Spotify, twitter, allmusic.com, Amazon and more. Masum Reza📞 18:10, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Skimming the Google hits for a misspelling is inadequate. We have a guideline for what to understand and do prior to nominating for deletion, it is found at WP:BEFORE. Please read that and then re-review Matt McManamon. Which alternatives to deletion do we have? Sam Sailor 03:33, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
@Sam Sailor: I didn't search for sources on Google News and news archive (I forgot). Also I apologize that I didn't consider the possibility that it could be merged with other articles. I think this article should be merged with The Dead 60s or another article since the former one lacks WP:RS. Masum Reza📞 03:58, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Now you're talking, and you should be, because a merge was suggested by the deprodding editor. Which policy applies? In regards to BEFORE searches: Google Books should be included, personally I often start there. Sam Sailor 20:56, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Fair use files

It looks like you have recently uploaded several fair use files without copyright tags. Please review the intro section on WP:FUR, review your file uploads, and complete them as necessary. Thank you! Killiondude (talk) 22:47, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for informing me of my mistakes. I have added non-free rationale to the following file pages [[File:N._P._Willams.jpg]], [[File:Dan_Heap.jpg]], [[File:Reverend-mark-matthews-foreground-seattle-1927.jpg]]. Also I made a typo when I uploaded [[File:N._P._Willams.jpg]]. The file name should be [[File:N. P. Williams]]. Please rename it and let me know after you do so. Thanks in advance. Masum Reza📞 02:05, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
@Killiondude: Pinging you. Masum Reza📞 02:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you'd like it renamed to since there are no underscores in the file name currently. As long as the name is identifiable and accurate, it doesn't quite matter which title it has. Thanks for fixing the others. Killiondude (talk) 03:34, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Just FYI, underscores in titles are automatically converted to spaces. That's why, for example, Main_Page and Main Page are the same. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 03:18, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

tedious

(This is continuing from Vulphere's talk page. If you saw/ read from there.) Since you still undid a bunch of edits, where the item; |ja_romaji= is used at. I did some, but as looking there. Or that some of the episode listings has too much stuff. Like here. Then, if I did more. I'll start being sleepy again. (Sort of bad of me to sleep in a chair. And it felt tedious.)
