A message from NatGertler

I'm not sure what method you're using to find targets for your corrections, but your recent edit to Committee to Boycott Nixon's Memoirs was a lower-casing of a key word of the organization's proper name, which of course should be uppercase. I've fixed it, but you may want to watch out for such instances if you are relying on automated systems -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:54, 4 October 2023 (UTC) Nat Gertler (talk) 14:54, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@NatGertler Sorry! I've added {{not a typo}} to prevent such a semi-automatic/automatic edit like that in the future by anyone, bot or human. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 14:58, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

User talk:Kater Kenzo

Hallo please have again a look at this users articles and assist further. I have moved the draft into the main space Eckart Schuster, but I am not familiar with the rules on your end. --Bahnmoeller (talk) 16:24, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bahnmoeller Honestly, I'm unsure if it was quite ready for mainspace. I was envisioning the creator submitting it through articles for creation. I did reformat the article, though. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 18:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bahnmoeller In fact, since most of the changes I made were reverted, I went ahead and draftified the article. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 21:39, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Vuzias on User:Vuzias (09:03, 15 October 2023)

Hey there Dudhhr, i was wondering how to create a Wikipedia Page for a music Label Company, i accidentally created it as a profile page, in case you need some information, hope to her from you, Vuzias --Vuzias (talk) 09:03, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Vuzias: You probably meant to talk to someone else; however, Dudhhr isn't a username anyone has on Wikipedia.

However, I can answer your question, anyways. You can use articles for creation to create a draft that someone else that can then look over. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 15:42, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

User:Gbstani

Hello! This user continues to exhibit WP:OWN behavior on Jim Chappell (businessman). I've reverted and warned them again, but I wanted to know if I should step back and let you handle it, as you are their mentor. Have a good day! —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 22:34, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

@Asparagusus No, you did the right thing.  Thanks I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 23:49, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

As it turns out it was a copyvio, so I guess so! No problem :). —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 00:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

@Asparagusus Adverts often are. :-/ I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 02:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from ImNaqash on Hamid Bashani (08:15, 17 October 2023)

Please assist me how I can update a table for profile and references. --ImNaqash (talk) 08:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

@ImNaqash If you're trying to recreate Hamid Bashani, an article deleted via a deletion discussion, I really don't think you should do that this early on in your Wikipedia. It's possible to do that and have the article not get redeleted, but it's best to leave that to a more experienced editor. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 15:44, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Itsuhboysludge on Jetlag Productions (20:24, 17 October 2023)

I can't seem to find anything wrong --Itsuhboysludge (talk) 20:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

@Itsuhboysludge It isn't very well-referenced, which is the biggest issue. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 15:20, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Melodiousgal (04:17, 20 October 2023)

Hello! How do I make my page searchable? --Melodiousgal (talk) 04:17, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

@Melodiousgal Your userpage isn't going to be searchable. You could write a draft through articles for creation, but perhaps you should read our conflict of interest policies (or, at least, a summary of them), and our stance on autobiographies first.

Question from Tangeni Nangombe on User:Tangeni Nangombe (08:51, 23 October 2023)

Good …I would like to create a wiki page for myself, is it possible? --Tangeni Nangombe (talk) 08:51, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

@Tangeni Nangombe Writing an article on yourself is strongly discouraged; on top of that, there are several reasons to not want an article on Wikipedia, one of which is that any negative but reliably sourced information about you will inevitably end up in said article.

Question from Magnolia199 on User talk:Magnolia199 (11:06, 23 October 2023)

Hello

 What are the features of summary writing? --Magnolia199 (talk) 11:06, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

@Magnolia199 I'm not sure what you mean by summary writing? I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 21:27, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Melodiousgal (01:09, 28 October 2023)

Hi! I want to create a page for the public where one can look up my name, Melody Pierson. Lots of links to music and broadcasting. --Melodiousgal (talk) 01:09, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

@Melodiousgal Wikipedia articles are for people who are already noted for their accomoplishments that are significantly mentioned in multiple, third-party sources. Typically, once that happens, someone will write an article unprompted by you or anyone who works for you.

If you insist, you can write a draft and have someone else approve it before it's turned into an article. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 01:32, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

...for fixing all the dablinks to SANBI. Seems I was too much under the weather to remember doing that myself! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 05:23, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

@Elmidae No problem! I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 13:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Tech News: 2023-44

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

Recent changes

• The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
• The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
• Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [1][2]
• Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [3]

Future changes

• There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
• The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.
