My bad!

Thanks for this correction! I have no idea how or why I managed to disable the editor's talk page access. Favonian (talk) 19:13, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I figured. I was going to ask you about it, but it seemed such a clear case of a mis-click I figured it wasn't needed. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 19:29, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

While I appreciate your suggestion and while you have a right to your opinion I don't agree with you on quality of my edits. In India and possibly for the world audiences, Somnath Bharti has been a name since the time he acted for the rights of women and children after becoming law minister. Today he is a known name to every household and hence unbiased/neutral point of view is surely essential on him. E.g. he is back to practice law after resigning as law minister. On Spam charges, it is yet not established whether it is this Somnath Bharti or someone else. Plz check http://aamjanata.com/fact-checking-rahul-kanwals-accusations-about-somnath-bharti/ to understand what I am hinting at. Accordingly the incident at Khirki Extension you have shown only one side of story, to understand the other side please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEZELzYwP4I and read his statement submitted to Mr. B L Garg committee at http://somnathbharti.com/khirki-ka-sach.html. After you understand, please revert the changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NothingButTruthIndia (talk • contribs) 22:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Martijn Hoekstra,

U ontvangt deze melding omdat u zich heeft opgegeven als vertaler voor het Nederlands op Meta. De pagina Wikimedia Blog/Drafts/Heartbleed is beschikbaar voor vertaling. Vertaal deze alstublieft hier:

This is the text of a just published blog post summarizing the actions taken to protect users of Wikimedia sites against the recently discovered "Heartbleed" security vulnerability. (The post explains that users will need to re-login the next time they use their accounts and suggests to change passwords as a standard precautionary measure, but it is currently not intended to enforce a password change for all users.) Completed translations will be added to the blog post.

Uw hulp wordt enorm op prijs gesteld. Met vertalers zoals u is Meta een echte meertalige gemeenschap.

Bedankt!

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks a lot for for editing my article Lal Babu Pandit. Cheers! Ashish Lohorung (talk) 14:05, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

You're quite welcome, Wikipedia is after all a collaborative project. The article could use a lot of expansion, and if possible better sources too. Thank you for your work getting the ball rolling! Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor newsletter—April 2014

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.

• In an oft-requested improvement, VisualEditor now displays red links (links to non-existent pages) in the proper color. Links to sister projects and external URLs are still the same blue as local links.
• You can now open templates by double-clicking them or by selecting them and pressing  Return.  This also works for references, images, galleries, mathematical equations, and other "nodes".
• VisualEditor has been disabled for pages that were created as translations of other pages using the Translate extension (common at Meta and MediaWiki.org). If a page has been marked for translation, you will see a warning if you try to edit it using VisualEditor.
• When you try to edit protected pages with VisualEditor, the full protection notice and most recent log entry are displayed. Blocked users see the standard message for blocked users.
• The developers fixed a bug that caused links on sub-pages to point to the wrong location.
• The size-changing controls in the advanced settings section of the media or image dialog were simplified further. VisualEditor's media dialog supports more image display styles, like borderless images.
• If there is not enough space on your screen to display all of the tabs (for instance, if your browser window is too narrow), the second edit tab will now fold into the drop-down menu (where the "Move" item is currently housed). On the English Wikipedia, this moves the "Edit beta" tab into the menu; on most projects, it moves the "Edit source" tab. This is only enabled in the default Vector skin, not for Monobook users. See this image for an example showing the "Edit source" and "View history" tabs after they moved into the drop-down menu.
• After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed as an opt-in feature at Meta and on the French Wikinews.

The drop-down menu is on the right, next to the search box.

Looking ahead:  A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting (dir="rtl") will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this on your own page, subscribe at Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you!
