Geobox

Care to join me in my quest to eliminate the transclusions? Category:Geobox usage tracking for other type (0) one page at a time... :-) --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:52, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Recent Edits - October 2018

This is to let you know that your recent edits to two episodes of Doctor Who, towards the Continuity section, for the eleventh series of the revived era, were reverted. While for one of these episodes, it was simply the lack of citations used, in both cases you added in information that was not relevant to what the section was aimed at. Continuity is focused on references to story elements, characters, etc..., featured in past episodes of Doctor Who. Please be careful to check what that section is for, in future. GUtt01 (talk) 21:18, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Really? And who made you the arbiter of such things? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:34, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
No one. I based this reasoning over checking up on other articles for episodes of Doctor Who, where they had a Continuity section, and now of them did anything other than provide references to previous story elements of Doctor Who, not trivial remarks made by the Doctor as you put in. GUtt01 (talk) 21:36, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
Then you at liberty to add details of these non-trivial connections in past episodes; or to move them under a different heading. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:39, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

  • Partial blocks is now available for testing on the Test Wikipedia. The new functionality allows you to block users from editing specific pages. Bugs may exist and can be reported on the local talk page or on Meta. A discussion regarding deployment to English Wikipedia will be started by community liaisons sometime in the near future.
  • A user script is now available to quickly review unblock requests.
  • The 2019 Community Wishlist Survey is now accepting new proposals until November 11, 2018. The results of this survey will determine what software the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Tech team will work on next year. Voting on the proposals will take place from November 16 to November 30, 2018. Specifically, there is a proposal category for admins and stewards that may be of interest.

  Arbitration

  • Eligible editors will be invited to nominate themselves as candidates in the 2018 Arbitration Committee Elections starting on November 4 until November 13. Voting will begin on November 19 and last until December 2.
  • The Arbitration Committee's email address has changed to arbcom-en wikimedia.org. Other email lists, such as functionaries-en and clerks-l, remain unchanged.

November 2018

Hello Pigsonthewing, I reverted you recent edit of Monash University because the source you cited, a list of institutions, did not support the content you added. Specifically it did not mention the person Monash University was named for or the 'first time named after a person' detail. Perhaps you intended a different source. Gab4gab (talk) 14:51, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

The document lists all universities in Australia with their date of inception. There is not one pre-dating Monash, that is named after a person. Furthermore, you removed my entire edit, including an image of Gen. Monsah. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:05, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Geobox
