Reverted my edit

Hello there! Thanks for messaging me about the revision of my edit.

It's interesting that it was reverted - I had a suspicion this could happen, given the controversial subject matter. If you wouldn't mind, I'd be interested to know why you think the edit was impolite.

My point of view is that Posie Parker is a well-known anti-trans activist (this is exactly the description given in her own Wikipedia article), and that this was crucial context to her comments on the BBC article.

Let me know what you think, and it's nice to meet you. :) GlitchyEll (talk) 01:45, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

As an onlooker, I have to disagree with FULBERT's opinion that this is a personal attack (diff). WP:NPA, from what I can tell, is only for editors criticizing other editor accounts. I don't know if Posie Parker has a Wikipedia account and I don't think we NPA-attack her account in a description of her. As GlitchyEli mentioned, Parker's article (not to say the article's lede) mentions her being anti-transgender. Contrasting WP:NPA problems, there might be WP:NPOV problems if we don't allow this description. LightNightLights ^(talk) 04:20, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

@GlitchyEll Thank you for your question. I think this can read as an attack without having a reliable, third-party WP:INDEPENDENT published source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy WP:RELIABLE to support it. If there were a source added to support this statement, then I would think it would be fine. I encourage you to re-add it and include a citation. Pinging @LightNightLights as well for my explanation of why I reverted this. Thank you both for asking about this and for seeking to improve the articles here on Wikipedia. --- FULBERT (talk) 13:28, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #564

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events

• Press, articles, blog posts, videos
  • Blogs
    • In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)
  • Papers
    • Investigating the potential of the semantic web for education: Exploring Wikidata as a learning platform
  • Videos
  • Notebooks
    • Country diversity of external links domain names in Wikipedia in French an analysis of all domain names in Wikipedia in French by country associated to the website.

• Tool of the week
  • User:BrokenSegue/shorten.js makes statements boxes for a particular property scrollable if it is too tall.

• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • A new Wikidata Query Service scaling update has been published. It outlines the WDQS current state and summarizes the suggestions with the most impact we’re exploring now, with a few in-progress.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello FULBERT,

New Page Review queue December 2022

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Reminders

• Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
• There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Growth team newsletter #25

Welcome to the twenty-fifth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations

Celebrations

Leveling up release

• We released Leveling up features to our pilot wikis on March 22 for an initial A/B test.
• In this test, we use post-edit dialogs (pop-ups shown after publishing an edit) and notifications to encourage new editors to try new types of newcomer-friendly suggested edits.
• We are closely monitoring the short term impact of this feature as well as the longer term effect on newcomer productivity and retention. If the experiment shows positive results, we will release this feature to more wikis.

5,000+ images added via the newcomer task in February

• In February 2023, 5,035 images were added via the newcomer “add an image” feature (on all wikis where available); 155 were reverted.
• Since the feature “add an image” was launched: 36,803 images have been added; 2,957 images were reverted.

Recent changes

• Add a link
  • Community Ambassadors completed an initial evaluation that confirmed that prioritizing underlinked articles resulted in better article suggestions. We then evaluated the change on Growth pilot wikis, and results suggest that more newcomers are successfully completing the task and experiencing fewer reverts. We have now deployed the new prioritization model to all wikis with "add a link" enabled. [1][2]
  • We continue the deployment of "add a link" to more wikis. These changes are regularly announced in Tech News. To know if newcomers at your wiki have access to this feature, please visit your Homepage.
• The Impact module was deployed on our pilot wikis, where we conducted an A/B test. We published initial findings, and a data scientist is now completing experiment analysis. [3]
• Donor Thank you page experiment – Donors land on a “thank you” page after donation, and that landing page now includes a call to action to try editing: Example Thank you page in French. This promising feature is tested at several Wikipedias (French Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia).
• Growth features are now the default experience on both test.wikipedia.org and test2.wikipedia.org. You can test our features there.

Upcoming work

• Add an image – We plan to offer section-level image suggestions as a structured task for newcomers.
  • We are starting design work. [4]
  • Growth team Ambassadors helped with an initial evaluation of these section-level image suggestions. [5]
  • We will start a community consultation in which we share initial ideas and designs soon. [6]
