We gonna ball! 22:30, 31 March 2017 (UTC) A few thoughtsRe this: Thanks for checking my Reviews and also for all the heavy-hauling you've been doing for the most-recent GA Cup, greatly appreciated.
which has to do with references and therefore the WP cornerstone of Verifiability. Having online references with invalid URLs/sourcing makes checking & verifying the information virtually impossible. I do not remember demanding that references be removed, I think I ask that they somehow be made (completely) valid. GA Cup judges thank you
I'll drink to that!...

Sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:54, 6 April 2017 (UTC) Question about the GA CupI know that the Cup is over, and all the Reviews have been scored but since I am the winner this season am I supposed to lift the cup image from the Submissions page or wait for something official? (Like do the judges place it on my user talk or maybe I "pick it up" after the Wrap-Up Newsletter goes out etc). Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 15:45, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
Images in infoboxI know (remember, I also contribute with Tropical Cyclone's articles). But within the Heavy Metal Project, adding images on infoboxes isn't a usual practice, and since that practically all Heavy Metal's articles don't have one, the Extreme Metal one shouldn't have one for reasons of standardization and usefulness. If other articles start having images in infoboxes, so I wouldn't object for the Extreme metal having one too, if the image is pertinent to the whole article.

Thanking me will ...... not help very much. There are 1RR discretionary sanctions on India-, Pakistan related articles, which this page might be, as the medal has been awarded most for India-Pakistan wars. I suggest that you self-revert your edit and instead try to post why you would like to remove the templates at the discussion in Talk:Param Vir Chakra. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 22:19, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Editing News #1—2017Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter  Did you know that you can review your changes visually?  In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.  Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.  The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. 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 spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Recent changesA new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽. A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [1] The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The Other changes:

It looks like you spearheaded the 2016 GA cup, so I thought you'd be the best person to approach. Will there be a 2017 GA Cup? If so, I'd like to put up some prize money for it - is that ok? I can put up $600 (US), broken up however you like, presumably as Amazon vouchers (like the WikiCup). Let me know if there's anyone else I should talk to! --Cerebellum (talk) 14:55, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Assistance On Halloween Wars episodes pageSorry if I'm posting this incorrectly but last time I posted was around May and I don't remember what I did to get to this page so I'm going off what others are posting. If there's a way to do Private Messages, please feel free to tell me but I finally got around to editing the Halloween Wars episode draft. I am not sure what specific citations you wanted and where you wanted it so I looked up a related article per season, some are about contestants, some are links to the official show blog with season episode lists. The series overview chart links to the official page on the website for each season and while I couldn't find posts about specific episodes, I looked at other similar cooking show wikis and based my choices of ref links on that. Overkill? Still not correct? Hopefully I'm close, if not done, because a new season of this show is upon us and I've put off this editing for too long hoping someone else would take a crack at it.

Resubmitted. Hope this note here counts as a "ping". SunnieSkye (talk) 05:23, 26 September 2017 (UTC) Halloween Baking Championship page removal/editingI'm going over some Food Network show pages and trying to tidy them up. I need someone's help trying to change the title/link of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Baking_Championship_(season_1) preferably to something like "List_of_Halloween_Baking_Championship_episodes" I want to make that into an episode list page for the main article Halloween Baking Championship. Once turned into an episode page, this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Baking_Championship_(season_2) will be redundant and I need someone to delete it (I don't know if I can do it; I think only a higher up editor can do that.) Thanks. SunnieSkye (talk) 04:12, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. I've posted somewhere else that I think might get some admin attention. Books and Bytes - Issue 24

Editing News #1—2018Read this in another language • Subscription list for the English Wikipedia • Subscription list for the multilingual edition Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?  Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence. If you enable the Beta Feature for "⧼visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label⧽", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit. Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs. In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.  This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence. An arrow indicates that the paragraph changed location. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

—User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC) April 2018 Milhist Backlog DriveG'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone. The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
