HMS GRIMSBY Edit

Hello, I wrote the edit to the HMS GRIMSBY page as I was the captain of the ship at the time - how can I source personal experience? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauld89 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Edit to HMS EXETER Page

You also deleted the text I wrote - I was the captain of the ship at the time - how do I source personal experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauld89 (talk • contribs) 13:23, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Pauld89.Please note that Wikipedia is encyclopedia which contains information that can be verifiable by reliable sources, I won’t revert your edits on that page since I know they are made in good faith but I know someone will, so equip the article with the sources needed.

Mhhh, sorry for that, feel free to remove the warning on your talk. I see it has been fixed now. Cheers --Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 16:34, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

@198.103.104.11: @Synoman Barris: I find myself agreeing with their logic. Aft would indeed seem the right term to me. I've for now reverted your reversion. Asartea ^{Talk | Contribs} 16:35, 28 September 2020 (UTC) Also, not sure if you have seen it yet but I also completed the next task for CVUA.

Thank you for fixing that Asartea, I’ll take a look at your CVUA page later today. Cheers Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 16:38, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Erroneous bot.

I've removed an unsourced statement from the Amiga Walker article and your bot keep telling me to not add unsourced content to articles! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.143.5.129 (talk) 19:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Stating a film was poorly received without adding any sources is defamatory and not allowed in an encyclopedia. Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 19:50, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

What?! What film?! It is a computer in the first place, and second it's not me who had made that statement about being poorly received: it was there since the beginning! Don't you understand, that i've removed a statement and not added?! There was a statement about the computer was compared to Darth Vader's helmet, but for 12 years, nobody backed that claim up with any source! That's i've removed it! And just for the record, your bot is erroneous! Now, that i've left the "citation needed" label there, your bot did not reversed my edit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.143.5.129 (talk) 20:07, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Synoman Barris. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:04, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Overall you did good work, but I want to draw your attention to one article where I think you may have been insufficiently thorough, Stepanakert pogrom. While I think you were right to ultimately accept the article, there are some lurid claims, such as the claim that Armenians were poisoning wells and raping students, which are sourced solely to likely-partisan sources (in this specific case, [1]) that cannot be taken at face value. These claims should be marked with {{better source needed}} at a minimum. If you're in a situation like this, where the topic is likely to be contentious and you lack the language proficiencies or topic familiarity to be a thorough judge, you should consider tagging the article as a whole with {{expert needed}} and explain your position on the talk page. While it's not terribly effective at drawing attention from relevant experts, it will advise editors and readers to proceed with caution when reading the article. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:12, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Borat 2 move

Hm. Sorry about this, I misintepreted who did the move and then moved it back per https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AHoracio_Vara&type=revision&diff=980634007&oldid=980633735. Didn't mean to get into some move war. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi there,

I was wondering why https://driesdepoorter.be can't be in the internet artist list? He is a well known internet artist, that fits in the wikipedia encyclopedia.

hello

What exactly did you want to talk about? Alvin kipchumba (talk) 06:46, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Alvin kipchumba, Hello, thanks for reaching out. Well for a long time I have been looking for someone else prolific in the Swahili language. I agree that there is also a lot of things to do I.e cleanup especially with translating some templates there and removing non-Swahili words. I have studied the language having lived in the country during my early years and I know the language at a professional level. I guess we will be able to help each other out over there to avoid the project from being closed. Cheers Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 06:51, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Wow that's is great so how will we start and where Exactly can we fix: wiktionary, wikipedia or.... Alvin kipchumba (talk) 07:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Alvin kipchumba, The Wiktionary I guess, I tend to stay away from the Swahili Wikipedia at the moment Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 07:01, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Alvin kipchumba, FYI, also made a request over at Meta, to be able to edit the Media Wiki interface, one needs admin rights of which I have requested over there Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 07:16, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I am so excited,so should we increase the words or fix it Alvin kipchumba (talk) 07:04, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Alvin kipchumba,Lets move this to my talk page over there so that we can discuss more Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 07:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Why is it an issue to add local knowledge to a page? I am a resident in the village and member of numerous village organisations. The information is relevant to the culture and Community of the village as well as being useful information for those who may wish to visit. Friendsofconduitstreet (talk) 14:24, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

User:Synoman Barris/CVUA/Asartea new section?

external link for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Fireball_Network

Hi, I changed the external link of an organisation (research group), because it now has a new website. I am a leading member of this research group, so I know that the new one is more relevant. The old website was wept online for historical reasons, but links to the new one anyway. Anyway, I do not see how this change contradicts with the guidelines about links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hadry (talk • contribs) 10:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Hadry, Hello, when making such changes to a website, it’s always better to use an edit summary, that why I undid your edit with an edit summary “possible spam?”. If that’s the official website then it’s allowed and feel free to re-add it. Cheers Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 10:47, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit filter?

Hi, I was looking through the exam when I noticed that it uses the term "edit filter" multiple times. Did you mention this during the course as I'm not sure what it is? Also am I meant to make only one of the exams or both? Asartea ^{Talk | Contribs} 16:35, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Asartea, Dammit, it’s my keyboard again. I have cleaned it up for you. Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 16:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Luminar follow-up question

Thanks for your fast response. I had already edited the content to be more neutral, but wanted to be clear about comments on primary and secondary sources.

So, citing of patents is OK?

My secondary sources are solid, and the only problem with the page is neutral point of view?

Thanks for your feedback. Tlvernon (talk) 14:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Tlvernon,Always a pleasure. Cheers Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 14:09, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

And yeah I don’t see if citing a patent is a problem as long as they are relevant to the subject of the article. Cheers Megan☺️ ^{Talk to the monster} 14:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Why did you remove the {{Db-r2}} template? Gioguch (talk) 16:59, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

  • filterTest: Adds a "Test changes" button. Opens Special:AbuseFilter/test with what's currently in the edit form, not with what's saved in the database, so you don't have to copy-paste your changes.
• Terasail's COI Request Tool allows users to reply to, close or remove conflict of interest edit requests

Updated scripts

• Twinkle has a number of improvements, including that most watchlist defaults now make use of the new temporary watchlist feature. Other changes include rollbacks treating consecutive IPv6 editors in the same /64 range as the same user, adding a preview for shared IP tagging, a preference for watching users after CSD notification, and for sysops, the ability to block the /64 and link to a WP:RfPP request, and new copyright blocks default to indefinite.
• Wikipedia:Shortdesc helper now v3.4.17, changes include minor fixes and preventing edits that don't change the description.
• BrandonXLF's CitationStyleMarker now recognizes WP:CSLSA and WP:CSVAN styles, in addition to WP:CS1 and WP:CS2
• Joeytje50's JWB now version 4.1.0, includes the ability to generate page lists from the search tool, major updates to the handling of regular expressions, the storing of user settings, the addition of upload protection, and an option to skip pages that belong to a specific category, among other changes. See User:Joeytje50/JWB/Changelog for a full list of recent changes.
• User:SD0001/deleted-metadata-link.js – updated to include a link to snippet of deleted content, instead of just metadata.

Miscellaneous

• Wikipedia:User scripts/List has been revamped to make it easier to find scripts suited for your needs. If you know of a cool script that is missing on the list, or a script on the list that is no longer working, please edit the list or let us know on the talk page.

Pending requests

• A request for a script to help admins posting "recent death" items to Template:In the news
• A request for a script to warn users about syntax and template errors
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

My apologies for this long-overdue issue, and if I missed any scripts.
Hopefully going forward we can go back to monthly releases - any help would be appreciated. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 13:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Synoman Barris,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

LuckyRename, by Alexis Jazz, is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot!

Updated scripts

• SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
• Writ Keeper: massRollback.js has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue).
• ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.

Scripts++ Newsletter

Pending requests

• Mass-patrolling at Special:NewPages
• Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot
• Restore the Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books
• Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek)
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

• Wikipedia:User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
• Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain.

• FlightTime:
  • OneClickArchiver is a custom version of User:Technical_13/Scripts/OneClickArchiver which doesn't prepend {{Clear}} to the top of each section on the archive page.
• Jon Harald Søby:
  • diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
  • warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
• JPxG:
  • PressPass adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats.
  • CurrentSwitcher gives you links on the contribs page to hide duplicate entries, current revisions, rollbacks, huggles, twinkles, and redwarns.
  • TrackSum lets you automatically sum the lengths of tracks in templates like {{track listing}} and get total runtimes.
• Nardog:
  • CopySectLink adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading.
  • IPAInput allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like Help:IPA/English and clicking on the symbols.
  • TemplatePreviewGuard warns when you try to use "Preview page with this template" with a page that doesn't transclude the template.

• Novem Linguae:
  • DetectSNG scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords and displays them at the top of the article.
  • NotSoFast highlights recently created articles in the new pages feed, to discourage patrolling them too quickly.
  • UserRightsDiff concisely displays what perm was added or removed when viewing Special:UserRights.
  • VoteCounter displays a rough count of keeps and deletes at XFDs, RFCs, etc.
  • WatchlistAFD automatically watchlists the AFDs of any pages you AFC accept or NPP patrol, to help you calibrate your reviewing.
• P.T.Đ:
  • TwinkleMobile enables Twinkle on mobile view (Minerva skin).

  • generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
  • share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
  • show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
• Tol:
  • VisualEditor Citation Needed adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a {{citation needed}} tag.
• Venkat TL:
  • ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
• Vukky:
  • StatusChanger is a fork of Enterprisey's Status Changer, which adds a UI to the script. (using Morebits, so you'll need to have Twinkle enabled to use it).

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Reverted Edit on Method of Images

My edit was not test. I created one edit fixing an error in the page (it was inconsistent with the cited reference book). However I forgot to fill out the edit summary. So, following what was listed on Wikipedia's documentation on how to fix edit summaries, I created a dummy edit that included why the change was made.

Note your edit summary and that comment you added to the article was clearly a test . Cheers--Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 10:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
