Annihilation (film)

edit

I was going to create a page draft for the film version of Annihilation that is coming out next year and then discovered that you beat me to it. I think the draft is pretty solid right now and was wondering if you wanted to submit it for review to the editors. SpiritedMichelle (talk) 02:05, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

@SpiritedMichelle: Yeah you're right. But I think we should wait until filming begins, which is going to begin soon. Draft is the better way to create film articles during development phase, but we shouldn't move it to mainspace so soon. Thanks and please wait. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 06:27, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Five Seconds of Silence

What you did with Five Seconds of Silence is BS. I created this article not you. I don't appreciate my version being practically erased--TheMovieBuff (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

@TheMovieBuff: I'm sorry man if you took it as a offence but a draft article already existed which had to be moved. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 02:51, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
The Draft existed not the article. An article and draft are not the same thing. You have an obsession with having your name first on every film article.--TheMovieBuff (talk) 04:49, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
@TheMovieBuff: I'm not obsessed with having my name first but I'm obsessed with creating and improving film-related articles. Why you people always do that when someone is really trying to do something helpful? If a draft article has some history and need to be moved to mainspace then it would be moved or histmerged, depend on the situation. I appreciate your efforts and help improving article. And don't worry about, it happens when someone is working. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 08:52, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Do you want one Edit tab, or two? It's your choice

edit
How to switch between editing environments
Click the [[ ]] to switch to the wikitext editor.
Click the pencil icon to switch to the visual editor.

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Untitled Wolverine film

edit

I see you have moved it to the mainspace, claiming that filming has begun. But it is stated nowhere in the article that filming is happening. So where are your sources? Kailash29792 (talk) 13:11, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Kailash29792: Sources confirmed that filming will begin on April 25, so I moved it to mainspace with edit summary "filming today." --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 13:33, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oh ok, never mind then. But remember, no-one can predict if it will actually begin filming on said date; after all, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:43, 25 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your Blade Runner 2 draft

edit

Your Blade Runner 2 draft isn't necessary. I've been piecing the article together at the Blade Runner 2 redirect since July 2013. Rusted AutoParts 20:16, 27 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

First, I don't wanna get into another fight with you, I'm really trying to be good with you here. And we are just managing the article there, no need to worry. You can contribute there. Cheers. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 06:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't attempting to pick a fight. I was just pointing this out. I don't want you wasting your time collecting the same info I am. All I need to do is just undo the redirect once filming begins. Again, not picking fights or anything, it's just I have things under control. Rusted AutoParts 06:36, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
I'm noticng youve made drafts for Untitled Blade Runner sequel and Untitled Blade Runner project. Why? You already got one draftspace and I've made the necessary redirects and added in info that way (reverting the info in and out whenever anything new develops). It's needless draftspace getting created. Rusted AutoParts 06:45, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Those aren't needless, and you know that. It helps if someone searches with "untitled" in beginning of a title. Same like Draft:Untitled Wolverine sequel and Draft:Wolverine 3, those are not useless. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 07:06, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
They are needless. You now have 3 draftspaces for Blade Runner's Sequel. Predominantly people will not be seeking out the draft of an article unless they're an editor. All 3 are needless in the long run as I have been storing up the necessary info at the Blade Runner 2 redirect. You can add any new info you find there, so there's not two places for the same info. Here's the edit history. These drafts are overall not needed, and as I stated, a waste of your own time. Rusted AutoParts 07:17, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Okay then, I'm better wasting my time. And for your information, I'm not in a competition with you. And from now on I'm backing up with this one for your happiness and for Wikipedia. I'm not here to OWN the article. Thanks for your contributions. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 07:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
I'm not coming at you with a concern about ownerships. Draftspaces are fine when there isn't an existing redirect with a wealth of similar info in the edit history. When that occurs I find it best to work at the article on the redirect as opposed to making a draft. That way when filming starts 1, you don't need to arrange for the redirect that located at the desired destination to be deleted and 2, the feeling you wasted your time with making a draft doesn't occur when the article pops up. Plus once filming begins, you simply just undo the redirect and boom the articles there. No deletions needed to be arranged, no history merges needed to be arranged, etc. It's just simpler. Now if the draft exists beforehand, it's fine. Just verify that there isn't already a redirect created. Rusted AutoParts 07:38, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
I understand your view. Everyone has their own views and methods of doing something. So, according to my thoughts, DRAFT is the best way to gather a film's development phase data. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 08:55, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

I again reiterate this isn't to pick any fights or cause any trouble or anything, I just feel it's not necessary for the draft to continue to be worked on as I have it catalogued within the redirect. I just don't want the time I put in researching the topic to go to waste. I requested it be history merged into your draft so both histories remained intact but it was rejected as there too parallel. I have full tabs on all info coming in about the project so I am always up to date minutes after I learn of the info about it. I ask simply so there aren't two pages with similar histories and then you'll have more time to focus on other pages. Blade Runner 2 has been something I've been researching for 6+ years now. Rusted AutoParts 04:27, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Rusted AutoParts: Oh man, I've been kind always, at least try to, but never as much as I'm going to be this time. I know your method of doing article and redirect is wrong, and I was never gonna step down on this one. But I'll leave this draft and your article alone from now on. Sorry if it hurts you, man, but now you have my words. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 07:45, 12 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Upcoming (American) Death Note movie

Hello,

I have been working on my own draft (here) of the upcoming Death Note American film without realizing you had already made a draft (here). Can I add the missing information from my draft into yours? Also, do you think the "controversy" section is too soon, should I hold off on it until later? Downwiththesyndrome (talk) 02:41, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Downwiththesyndrome: Yeah sure, you can copy your draft into Draft:Death Note (upcoming film), until filming begins. And no need of "Controversy" section for now. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 06:03, 28 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Apology

edit

Tammydemo as well, I am sorry for accusing you both of sockpuppetry. I couldn't help but hold a suspicion and rather than busting open an investigation I should have asked you both directly to put it to rest faster. I won't be bringing the matter up again. Again, I am sorry. Rusted AutoParts 15:48, 16 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Louis Hynes

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Louis Hynes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Actor pages should not redirect to a single piece of their work, given that they tend to take roles in multiple productions.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

June 2016 Guild of Copy Editors Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News
 

 

Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes!

May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography.

Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. Voting takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's your Guild, and it doesn't run itself!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Baffle gab1978.

To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Battlestar Galactica into Draft:Battlestar Galactica (upcoming film). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 03:33, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Editing News #2—2016 Read this in another languageSubscription list for this multilingual newsletter

 
Did you know?

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.

 

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Insert" menu and click the "References list" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references.

Finally, click "Insert" in the dialog to insert the References list. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.

Recent changes

edit

The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The single edit tab feature combines the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

Future changes

edit

The "Save page" button will say "Publish page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

Let's work together
