Jan Działyński (Polish noble, born 1590)

Hi can you rever the move? There is an ongoing discussion on the Talk:Stanisław Potocki (1659-1683) and it seems there is consensus that using "Polish noble" as disambiguator doesn't really make much sense. Marcelus (talk) 06:48, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

@Marcelus ok. I will be reverting this, and probably make sense to merge the RM together since they are about the same thing. – robertsky (talk) 10:19, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from RainyLakeGirl on Robert A. Good (05:12, 8 September 2024)

Hello, Please tell me how I can add information and cite an article as verification? The bio of Dr.A. Good omits the fact that he was also married to Joanne Finstad. Below is the article I wish to reference as evidence for this. https://www.nytimes.com/1972/04/01/archives/minnesota-professor-is-named-president-by-sloankettering.html She too, was instumental in the budding field of immunology. She and Dr. Good worked together, authored published papers together, etc.

Thank you. --RainyLakeGirl (talk) 05:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

@RainyLakeGirl please see WP:REFBEGIN for instructions. Apologies for not being more verbose here right now as I am on the move. – robertsky (talk) 06:01, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from StephenCharlesLow (14:04, 8 September 2024)

Hi I have a photo that I took myself and attempt to upload it to include in a paragraph I'm editing. But each time the upload is refused. Any advice. --StephenCharlesLow (talk) 14:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

@StephenCharlesLow You will have to upload those photos at Commons and then include the images from there. See Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons. Note that not all of the images should be uploaded, certainly not the booklet as it has copyright implications. – robertsky (talk) 16:19, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations (disambiguation)

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 Michael Jackson sexual abuse allegations (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:23, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-37

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Feature news

• Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [1][2]
• Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions entity:getSitelink() and mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid) will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [3]

Project updates

• Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4]
• Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new MOS namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with MOS: (usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language code mos). [5]
