File:DuckDuckGo logo.svg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Just to tell you that there is nothing personal about the post

Hi This is regarding my response at v:Talk:WikiJournal User Group#Double blind peer review (once again). Let me reassert that there is nothing personal about my response to your post on the topic. I myself have ADHD and share traits with you. However, I also am a professional in the field and tend to understand what ASD and ADHD is about. So just thought of saying hi! If you can do the work-up that I have requested it would be of good utility to the board members at WikiJournal. Thanks for your cooperation. Diptanshu 💬 07:49, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Opinion request about a disagreement in the Bulgarian Wikinews

Moved to m:User talk:George Ho#Opinion request about a disagreement in the Bulgarian Wikinews

I see that you are aware of the disagreement. There is also a verbose discussion at the voting page in the Bulgarian Wikinews.

We in the Bulgarian Wikinews cannot achieve agreement on two topics about this voting. I see that you have suggested filing a request at m:SRM. Is that your suggestion, or you would prefer some other? Also, I will value highly your opinion on that, should you decide to give it.

Thank you in advance, and please accept my apologies for wasting your time with this request. -- Григор Гачев (talk) 18:27, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Hanging on the Telephone

If you're asking to decide as to which cover art to use, then files for deletion is not the place since neither picture needs deletion. Instead it'd be better to raise the issue on the article's talk page. However, I don't think there even is an issue, since the infobox displays both versions and there is good reason to display both. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:13, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

@TenPoundHammer: FFD was renamed from "deletion" to "discussion" since WP:NFR was merged into FFD. Also, I disagree with the close since it would look like a supervote or something. Moreover, non-free images don't receive enough attention in article talk pages. If they do, sometimes pre-FFD decisions are harder to enforce. Can you undo the closure and vote "keep both" instead? -- George Ho (talk) 18:59, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

That seems overly pedantic. FFD is for files "which are unneeded or have either free content or non-free content usage concerns." This doesn't seem to be a "usage concern" at all, at least not in the sense that FFD is asking for. I still think an RFC is the better option if you insist, but again, I don't think there's any issue whatsoever since plenty of other articles show more than one single cover depending on market release. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:41, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@TenPoundHammer: The FFD is relisted by an admin (not me), citing WP:NFCC#3. Please I invite you to comment at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2019 August 12 rather than "speedy close" or "close". Thanks. -- George Ho (talk) 19:05, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Global watchlist - Update 1

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

General announcements

• Management has migrated to phabricator; to report a bug or request a feature, please create a new task with the script's tag
• Message translation has been reduced; for common messages that are already translated in mediawiki core, the system translations are used, in order to reduce duplication of efforts

Recent additions

• New pages are shown at the start of a site's feed
• Log entries are shown at the end of a site's feed
• Basic validation has been added to user settings, applied before saving
• Site validation has also been added; a site (excluding unique projects like wikidata, meta, commons, etc.) is considered to be valid if it is the form of "language.project", where both the language code and project name are valid. It does not, however, check that the actual site is valid; only that it could be. In other words, even though sco.wiktionary refers to a site that doesn't exist, it is considered valid, because sco is a valid language code (sco.wikipedia is a working site) and wiktionary is a valid project.

Announcements

• BREAKING CHANGE: Backwards compatibility supporting the use of sites as *.*.org (like 'en.wikipedia.org' or 'meta.wikimedia.org'), deprecated in version 1.7.5, will be removed soon; all sites should now be saved as *.* (like 'de.wikinews' or 'fr.wikisource')
• BREAKING CHANGE: Storing user sites as window.GlobalWatchlistSites, deprecated in version version 1.11.11, will be removed soon; all settings should be stored in the window.GlobalWatchlistConfig object
• Both of these breaking changes will be implemented alongside version 4.0; until then, any use of the config page (m:Special:BlankPage/GlobalWatchlistConfig) will result in saving settings in the newest format

Next release

Version 4.0 should be released in around a week. It will include the new features mentioned above, as well as removal of backwards compatibility for settings and sites.

I've sent this first message to users that participated in the discussion at m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Watchlists/Revive Crosswatch tool or otherwise shown interest in the script. To subscribe or unsubscribe from future updates, see the distribution list.

• Site validation has been tightened. Previously, only the language code and project name had to be valid - now, they must be a valid combination (i.e. en.wikiversity exists, and so is valid, but sco.wikiversity is not valid, because no such wiki exists).
• When the global watchlist feed is loading, an OOUI widget will be shown, rather than an animated gif.
• An option has been added to no longer group edits to the same page. For now, this isn't very useful, since metadata for the edits (editor, summary, tags, etc.) are not yet shown, but they will be soon. Until then, ungrouped edits are treated the same as pages with only 1 edit - the minor and bot flags are displayed if applicable. If edits are grouped, the minor and bot flags are only shown if they apply to all of the edits.

Upcoming changes

• Starting with version 5.0, there will be an option at the settings page to switch to and from a "stable" version of the script. When activated, the script import in your global.js should be replaced, and then the page refreshed with the new script loaded. The stable script will live at m:User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/stable.js, and will be updated with each full release. Otherwise, it shouldn't be edited, providing a version that is less prone to bugs as the script is developed.

Announcements

• WARNING: Starting with version 5.1, the option to mark the pages of a site as seen be implemented using the entirewatchlist API option, rather than manually listing the titles. This is being done to simplify the implementation code. This will result in the same functionality as marking all pages as seen via Special:Watchlist (i.e. even if the page isn't visible due to your filter choices, it will still be marked as seen). If you would like to keep using the current method for a while, please switch to the stable branch.

Next release

Version 5.0 has just gone live. It includes the new features mentioned above.

Global watchlist - Update 3

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

Survey

• I am investigating adding more context to each entry that is shown (such as the edit summaries, tags, patrol marks, the user who made the edit, etc.). Is there any desire for such additions? If so, what should be added first, and what is a low priority? Please leave feedback on the relevant phabricator task, phab:T238300.

Recent additions

• Site validation has been overhauled. Rather than hard-coding a list of valid sites, users will be able to watch any site where they have an attached local user account. If a site is rejected as invalid, please ensure that there is indeed a local account attached to your global account.
• Users will now be alerted regarding the results of attempting to update their settings.
• Live updates have been added - when activated, the script will refresh in the background, and then load the new feed, every 7.5 seconds. In the future, this frequency may be configurable.
• OOUI icons have been added to most buttons.
• There is now an option to eliminate the confirmation dialog when marking all sites as seen.

Announcements

• WARNING: Starting with version 6.1, site aliases currently used when saving settings will be removed, and only sites in the form of `lang.project` will be accepted.
• As noted in the last update, marking a site as seen now uses entirewatchlist, which means that any changes to watched pages between when the watchlist was loaded and when the site was "marked as seen" may be ignored.

Next release

Version 6.0 was just finalized for the development and stable branches of the script.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Global watchlist - Update 4

Updates associated with DannyS712's Global watchlist script:

Recent additions

• A new "fast" mode has been introduced. When used, the watchlist serves as just a list of pages that have been modified, and no longer includes context about the edits themselves.
• More information has been added to entries. When edits are not grouped by page, or when there is only 1 edit to a page, minor and bot flags are shown, as well as the user who made the edit, the summary used, and any tags that were applied. When multiple entries are grouped, bot and minor flags are only shown if all of the grouped edits were made by bots or where marked as minor. If only 1 user edited the page, that user's name is still shown, but no summaries or tags are included.
• All watchlists are now fetched in parallel, rather than in series, greatly reducing load time.

Technical notes

• Most of the source code is now annotated with jsdoc notes, allowing others to more clearly understand and review the code.
• I will be looking into creating guidelines to let others contribute to the script; see phab:T238298.

Translations

• There is now proper qqq documentation for translations. Translation takes place at m:User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Translate, and help is appreciated.
• Newly translated messages are added to the script when I notice them; if you have translated messages that aren't showing up, please let me know at m:User talk:DannyS712.

Next release

Version 7.0 was just finalized for the development and stable branches of the script.
