Hung Cao
editI'm not sure what iteration of the Hung Cao article you deleted on 30 June 2024, but I wanted to ask you if you would summarily delete Draft:Hung Cao if it was/were moved to mainspace. The last deletion discussion was a year ago and the facts lending notability to the subject have changed since then. I supported deletion then, but as I noted in Draft talk:Hung Cao, a perusal of WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG guidelines does not support automatic deletion of a candidate who has not won office if the significant coverage criterion is met. If you think I'm mistaken, I won't bother with recreating it, but I'd be interested in a new AfD discussion either way. Thanks. — AjaxSmack 19:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you're not aware, there's also another draft of the article at Draft:Hung Cao (2). The first draft that you linked to is a much better version than the one I deleted. In fact, it was an arguably worse version than the one that went through AFD. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. There's no way I can tell from the delete log (that I know of) exactly what was deleted, which is why I asked you here first. Anyway, someone else moved the draft to mainspace since my comment above, so the issue is moot. — AjaxSmack 01:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-27
editLatest 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
- Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update. [1]
- Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis. [2]
- If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers. [3][4]
- Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months. [5]
- Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Mandailing (
w:btm:) [6]
Problems
- Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team. [7]

editSee Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New York Show Tickets; Nytix (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is trying muddy the discussion by performing a bizarre one-person black box show with 24.46.132.52 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) to argue for retaining the article, along with Nytix's talk page (already reverted).
