DYK for Super Robot Wars XO

On 1 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Super Robot Wars XO, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that XO was one of the lowest-selling games in the Super Robot Wars series due to Xbox 360's unwelcoming commercial and critical reception in Japan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Super Robot Wars XO. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Review Page Dayashankar Singh

Sir Please review and accept submission of my page "Dayashankar Singh" -Sumit Kumar Alumni IIT Delhi Satpura Hostel — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumitrajbhar25 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

DYK credits

Hi. Regarding this, at least one separate {{DYKmake}} is required for each article, no matter how many are included in a "composite hook". I've restored the credit which you removed. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:46, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Request to review Yogesh Bhateja page

Hi, pls review 'Yogesh Bhateja page again. Added more reliable organic sources. The person profile seems notable. Also made write up neutral as per Wikipedia terms & policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.61.207.179 (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Prep 6

Thank you for promoting hooks, but you have two women farmers in Prep 6. Yoninah (talk) 14:09, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Yoninah, But Filiz Taçbaş according to the article is a Turkish film and television series actress and former national tennis player. — Amkgp 💬 14:14, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

So can she be an exception, or else you may move down to next prep when available. Thank you — Amkgp 💬 14:20, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm just pointing out that hooks should be on diverse subjects. Even though she's an actress, the hook is emphasizing that she went into farming. So did the "Queen of Happy Goats". Yoninah (talk) 17:02, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Tech News: 2021-02

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

• You can choose to be reminded when you have not added an edit summary. This can be done in your preferences. This could conflict with the CAPTCHA. This has now been fixed. [1]
• You can link to specific log entries. You can get these links for example by clicking the timestamps in the log. Until now, such links to private log entries showed no entry even if you had permission to view private log entries. The links now show the entry. [2]
• Admins can use the abuse filter tool to automatically prevent bad edits. Three changes happened last week:
  • The filter editing interface now shows syntax errors while you type. This is similar to JavaScript pages. It also shows a warning for regular expressions that match the empty string. New warnings will be added later. [3]
  • Oversighters can now hide multiple filter log entries at once using checkboxes on Special:AbuseLog. This is how the usual revision deletion works. [4]
  • When a filter matches too many actions after it has been changed it is "throttled". The most powerful actions are disabled. This is to avoid many editors getting blocked when an administrator made a mistake. The administrator will now get a notification about this "throttle".
• There is a new tool to build new skins. You can also see existing skins. You can give feedback. [5]
• Bots using the API no longer watch pages automatically based on account preferences. Setting the watchlist to watch will still work. This is to reduce the size of the watchlist data in the database. [6]
• Scribunto's file metadata now includes length. [7]
• CSS and JavaScript code pages now have link anchors to line numbers. You can use wikilinks like w:en:MediaWiki:Common.js#L-50. [8]
• There was a new version of MediaWiki last week. You can read a detailed log of all 763 changes. Most of them are very small and will not affect you.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 January. It will be on all wikis from 14 January (calendar).

King Ludwig Oak

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article King Ludwig Oak has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

You'll see that I added a "Clarify" tag at the beginning of the Oldest Traditions section as the sentence as it currently reads makes no sense. Best of luck with the GAN.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:27, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Twofingered Typist, Thank you for all the help. I will look at the issue you highlighted. Thanks once again. — Amkgp 💬 17:12, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Twofingered Typist I could fix the sentence and add a proper verifiable reference to it. — Amkgp 💬 17:27, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Amkgp Tweaked it slightly. Looks good. Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:10, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Notice about National varieties of English in Mahadevi Varma

Hello, i 118.96.188.169. In a recent edit to the page Mahadevi Varma that you conducted 16 hours ago, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another and i reverted it: Due to fact that Mahadevi Varma is an Indian people, It should use varieties of English dialect of their native country. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. 118.96.188.169 (talk) 01:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Review

Hi, Praxidicae keeps deleting my submission wiki line before the review. Would you please take a look. I'm happy to correct the page. But this user is behaving rather childish from the beginning of the draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HisVic (talk • contribs) 14:18, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

HisVic, I don't find the actions of Praxidicae being childish. He/she is a well established volunteer, reviewer and contributor of Wikipedia. Please do not use Wikipedia for PR, WP:PROMOTION purposes as you are doing in case of Draft:Chani Nattan. This is an encyclopedia not a personal website or a social media platform. Also, repeated self removal of speedy delete notices or through IP can lead to your account to be blocked. — Amkgp 💬 14:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
