Hi There. In reference to your note re: OTRS ticket 2014050510012415, I can't see any deleted images. I thought I'd restored the last one a couple of days ago when the uploader told me they'd sent the OTRS email. Am I missing one ? - Peripitus(Talk)21:35, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Mudvayne genre
Hello. I noticed that you've been reverting changes made by people who've been restoring the genres to the Mudvayne pages. Yes that guy is giving sources, but he's cherry picking them. There are just as many if not more sources stating that Mudvayne belong to one of the other genres there, some of which are on the main Mudvayne page. He picked the links that support his position and ignored the others. Also, notice the actual links: He keeps using the same 3 links even if they have nothing to do with the song or album in question. Two of them are dead and one of them is just based on a line from a photo caption. I can easily link to working articles from Allmusic and Popmatters that support them being a nu-metal link. For now I think it's best that we leave the genre tags out of the album pages and just use the generic "metal" label in the descriptions until people can agree on what should be done. Right now it's just one person on a crusade to remove any hint of Mudvayne being considered nu-metal (and he's doing the same thing on TV Tropes). SonOfPlisskin (talk) 01:30, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #109
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Hello Clarkcj12!
Just read your reply to the reverting in the racism in football article. Unfortunately it took a while to see that you had answered, since it's not on this talk page anymore and mine is/was only temporary. I was a bit upset that you understood my removal as a vandalism attempt, but since reading your recent reply, I understand (and think it's good advice) that editing from a temporary account and without a consensus discussion about a sensitive matter will lead to that impression.
I've decided to follow your advice and add to the commentary of another user complaining on the talk page and saw that more readers have complained about the article quality - so you're right: A hands-on mentality may be OK in my line of work, but it's an open community and we need to openly discuss and minimally agree before taking action.
Thanks for taking the time to write on that day and to reply in the meantime! Take care! --217.189.199.116 (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Greenwich Village Story, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Hogan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Editors may now include their ORCID identifiers (and others, such as VIAF) on their user pages, using the Authority control template. You can register for an ORCID at http://orcid.org
More cleanup for the coming switch to WikibaseDataModel 1.0.
Icinga Dispatch Lag monitoring scripts, including IRC notifier bot, have been tested and are ready for Ops implementation. This should give us quicker notifications in case the notifications to Wikipedia and co about changes on Wikidata are slow again.
GenderCounter uses Wikidata to provide an accurate service with distinguishing male and female names
ca.wikipedia found a nice way to use Wikidata. They're comparing their living people to Wikidata to see if any of them have a date of death there. They're then put into a category for review: ca:Categoria:Persones vives a revisar
Continued working on full redirect support for items. It touches a surprising big chunk of the code base.
Continued working on the QueryEngine code base and it’s data type support.
Fixed and updated the most recent implementation of the property and item selector widget, e.g. a MonoBook specific bug.
Pushed along reviews and deployment of the entity suggester code that will make suggestions for new properties to be added to items. Our hope is to have it through performance review for the next deployment.
Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)
Your edit summary on Kaushik says that you reverted for "unexplained content removal." The removal was explained, so the summary is not quite accurate. However, as I am not familiar with the article, they may be in good faith or vandalism. Thanks Piguy101 (talk) 01:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know I didn't see the edit summary, for the edit. Go ahead and roll me back. Though I would always suggest that if you would like to remove such a large section to leave a comment on the talk page to discuss it or bring it up for WP:RfC so the community can help decided. Its really helpful to do if you aren't quite familiar with the topic or area. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 02:04, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I'm the one that deleted the two sections. Those two sections were about the Hindu god Indra, who has absolutely nothing with the subject of the article. I can only assume that someone accidentally copied the two sections from some other article, perhaps the article on Indra. 69.248.132.69 (talk) 02:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
As part of the Outreach Program for Women d:User:User:Thepwnco is continuing improving all help pages to help new users understand Wikidata better. At the same time w:User:Discoveranjali is helping with social media outreach and creating presentations workshops about Wikidata.
More work on redirects. They are taking shape. Done with much of the groundwork. We've seen the first one! :D
Continued work on user interface redesign mockups
Monolingual text datatype is also taking shape but needs more user interface love to make it intuitive.
Investigated making Wikidata.org its own client so you can for example get access to better Lua functions for access to an item's label on a discussion page. Outcome: Should be possible but needs some more work.
Two new GuidedTours (aka interactive tutorials) have been released—we now have one on editing items and one on editing statements! Both tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours portal and feedback can be left on the talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours. The work was a combined effort of User:Bene* and Outreach Program for Women intern User:Thepwnco.
We passed another milestone \o/ 10 million items now have an "instance of" or "subclass of" statement making it easy to tell what the item is about.
Bene* worked with the dev team this week. He pushed forward support for storing badges (eg featured article) on Wikidata and implemented the first two guided tours.
CTRL+ click and middle click on a search result in the entity selector now opens the result in a new tab.
Further progress on redirects
Fixed a number of annoyances with the entity selector
Continued work on mockups for new user interface
Investigated what issues come up if we make wikidata.org its own client. Things look good so we will probably enable it soonish. This will mean you can link Wikidata pages in items and access the data in them on other pages on Wikidata.
Wikidata's new Main page is almost ready to go live, but is still in need of a visually-appealing banner! Got an idea for an eye-catching design that represents what Wikidata's all about? Submit proposals before August 11 at d:Wikidata:Portal Redesign/Banner
Finished a large number of new features and got them ready for roll-out. More in this email.
Wikibase made a big step forward to finally switch to DataModel 1.0.
Improved support for entity IDs bigger than 2 billion (32 bit integer).
We had to adapt Wikibase to some major changes (more major than usual, partly caused by discussions at Wikimania) in MediaWiki core: The default Vector skin became it’s own component and the ResourceLoader got some small but important updates.
Continued work on refactoring code of the user interface to make it ready for new design
Wrote a script to get number of users having wikidata in their recent changes/watchlist from the database
It will be possible to show the badges like "Featured Article" stored on Wikidata in the sidebar of the clients (Wikipedia, Wikisource, ...) starting Tuesday. Wikipedia will follow on Thursday.
Starting Tuesday we will deploy a new beta feature on the clients. It will allow you to show links to other sister projects in the sidebar based on the links in Wikidata.
