Redirects
editHi! Thank you for moving the files. Shouldn't the redirects be deleted? Lunar-akaunto

- Not necessarily. See WP:FILEREDIRECT. Happy editing :) — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I see. But redirects are for, like, when there's traffic, right? Previously, when i requested the same for other files, the movers moved without leaving a redirect. Currently, leaving a redirect makes the redirect appear in the file usage section. Anyhow, since there appears to be disagreement by another editor over file names, I'll mark the previous redirects for deletion once that's cleared up.

This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia
editI still do not understand the point. A lot of Artists are below the quality of Jean-Pierre and figure in Wikipedia. I cannot cite much more since the recognition of Jean-Pierre was mainly documented in newspapers. At this time internet was not very popular. And who can decide if someone is notable or not. I also remove all the mention of the quality of this painter to follow the guidance given by previous comments mentionning "advertising". I reduce all to the bone. Very disappointed by the way this was handled. Jpgroppi (talk) 12:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Jpgroppi, 6 editors declined the draft before my rejection and 5 left very useful and lenghty comments regarding improvements that can be brought to the article. But I haven't seen any major improvements that barely makes it pass notability criteria yet. It's close to an year now. So if such citations doesn't exist, as you say, that means the subject simply isn't notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Hence I rejected the draft altogether.
If you still disagree with me, you can contact AfC help desk for a review. Just a heads up, you can devote your time into other articles for which citations are present and improve them. Thanks and happy editing. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 13:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for your quick reply. What do you mean devoting my time into other article, what do you mean article? Other artists or to find more citations from the actual artist I am trying to publish? Jpgroppi (talk) 14:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Jpgroppi, Either. Good luck. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-29
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Tech News survey
- Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 3 more days. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.
Recent changes
- Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
- The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
- Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
- Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.
Changes later this week
- This week, dark mode will be available on a number of Wikipedias, both desktop and mobile, for logged-in and logged-out users. Interface admins and user script maintainers are encouraged to check gadgets and user scripts in the dark mode, to find any hard-coded colors and fix them. There are some recommendations for dark mode compatibility to help.
Future changes
- Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [1]
- Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.
