February 2020

I am trying to set up User:ClueBot III's archive feature. I cannot figure out why my existing archives User_talk:Awesome Aasim/Archive 1 User_talk:Awesome Aasim/Archive 2 User_talk:Awesome Aasim/Archive 3 are not showing up. Can someone review and fix my archive system? Aasim 17:54, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

ClueBot III maintains an index of archives. Since the bot hadn't crawled your talk page yet, it hadn't created the index yet and the list of existing archives didn't show up. I manually created User:ClueBot III/Indices/User talk:Awesome Aasim to fix this without waiting for the bot. Huon (talk) 21:30, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the help User:Huon. Have a wonderful day/night! Aasim 21:33, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to the GOCE!

Hello Awesome Aasim and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia! Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey!

• A how-to guide to Wikipeda copyediting
• Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS), a helpful guide to refer to while copy editing
  • A simplified version of the above
• A quick guide to writing on Wikipedia

You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.

Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

No mistake there, just reinstated some information someone had removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a03:1b20:4:f011::1d (talk)

I am sorry, but I do not understand. It appeared you removed a reference, so I put it back. Fortunately, everything is reversible on a wiki! Can you try your edit again without deleting that reference? Thanks. Aasim 22:23, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Awesome Aasim. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 02:29, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

@Swarm: Thanks. Have a good day/night! Aasim 06:00, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Edit reversion for page "Golgi tendon reflex"

If a statement is made on Wikipedia, and it cites a source, that source should support the claim, not refute it. The edit I made to the page "Golgi tendon reflex" was so that the claim made on Wikipedia would match the statement made in the source cited. Your reversion has made it so that the statement made on the Wikipedia page is the opposite of what the citation says. If in fact the claim on Wikipedia is the majority opinion, and that is why my edit was undone, you should not only change the sentence back to what it was, but you should replace the citation that was there with a citation that supports the claim rather than opposes it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.108.138.130 (talk) 15:10, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

I think you make a good point. Thanks for the feedback. I will take that into consideration when I do RC patrol. The reason why I usually revert edits that make changes or add content without providing a source is because there are some users that make changes to try to degrade the reliability of Wikipedia. It is good to see that you understand WP:V really well. You can go make that edit again. BTW have you considered creating an account? It is free and will allow you to do a lot more.

WIKIPEDIA BIAS TOWARDS QANON

Your list of reliable sources is clearly a very biased list to push an agenda as many on the list are not reliable and it omits many reliable sources. Until you make the necessary changes your article on Qanon will continue to be inaccurate and a source for misinformation, like the idea that it is far-right, which is an opinion made by biased sources, not a fact contrived with evidence. This will continue to be a sub par encyclopedia, unusable as a source in college and professional articles and papers, until it alters its criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.143.62 (talk) 14:27, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Your edit to Mortal Engines (film).

You made an edit to Mortal Engines (film). It is a mistake. It comes from Philip Reeve at the Reevening on a Discord server called "Gasbags and Gondola." -- 2001:D08:D8:6A27:59F0:EB2A:9E0:E6D1 (talk) 20:44, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Noinclude

Hi Awesome Aasim, I've never used noinclude here never, So could I ask what's it meant to do inregards to AFDs?,
I've read WP:NOINCLUDE but couldn't make head & tail of it!,
Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

@Davey2010: Should a page be transcluded (or included) in another page (as in templates), the stuff in noinclude tags will not show up on the page. The stuff in includeonly tags will only show up if the page is transcluded. Hope this helps! PS Please edit this page to include your favorite meme. Aasim 17:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Ahhhh okay I see so they basically don't show on the AFD list, Wow learnt something new today! :), Haha damnit, Genuinely thought that was a page! , Many thanks for your reply :), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Devil may cry original title Monster may cry

Awesome assim, I found it necessary for my first edit to display the fact that in a old interview with devil may cry developers, that the original title of devil may cry was monster may cry. The factual nature of this claim is further backed by the added dmc dlc added to Monster Hunter. This was not happened stance as the developers of both games were close with one another. So in the future I hope that you"ll consider these facts before just removing my edits and dismissing them as a joke edit. I take factual information seriously. It's nice to meet you by the way, your the first person to reach out, so that makes me happy. Ethernbeta25 (talk) 01:21, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

You claim that I didn’t explain why I removed the content, but I did. The awards for Best foreign language film are not given to the director when we’re discussing the Oscars or golden globes. I would like a response so I can hear your side, but what I’m saying is a fact that I explained. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.80.116.211 (talk) 21:31, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 15

News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (April 2020).

Hello everyone and welcome to the 15th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:

Scripts Submit your new/improved script here

Enterprisey:

1. link-deleted-revs (On error pages for deleted revisions, show a link to the Special:Undelete page)

2. editrequest (tool that allows for processing and answering edit requests)

DemonDays64's Dumb quotes (replaces smart curly single and double quotes with "dumb" quotes)

Guywan's FileMoverHelper (move files and replace their uses in one action)

Enterprisey's reply-link has been updated to fail less, especially around template transclusions.

Twinkle released new features, including a new option to disable individual modules, support for stub template nomination at CfD, and integration with the PageTriage extension used to patrol new pages. (See full list of changes)

Open tasks

• The mediawiki.notify resource loader module was deprecated and is no longer needed; its functionality is now available by default. See mw:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users) for more. Any dependency on it should be removed.

Pending requests

• A script to reload feeds automatically
• A script to mark templates in the TFD holding cell as ready for deletion

• Twinkle's Morebits library added a new Morebits.date class to replace the moment library. It can handle custom formatting and natural language for dates, as well as section header regexes. If you were using getUTCMonthName or getUTCMonthNameAbbrev with Date objects, those have been deprecated and should be updated.
• User:SD0001/find-archived-section was made a gadget. You can enable it from your gadget preferences, in the Browsing section.

Hope everyone stays safe. --DannyS712 (talk) 20:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
