Technical news
Last week all wikis were very slow or not accessible for 30 minutes. This was due to server lag caused by regenerating dynamic lists on the Russian Wikinews after a large bulk import. (T287380)
Hopefully I am thanking the right person you assisted me with a draft on live chat page, a human interpretation of some of the Wikipedia practices is really helpful and appreciated. Iamthekanadian (talk) 19:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
"You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Murder of Meredith Kercher. Binksternet (talk) 14:37, 11 August 2021 (UTC)"
"Hello 0mtwb9gd5wx! Your additions to William Selig have been removed in whole or in part" @Berrely: 09:44, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
You and an admin threw out all my good faith hard work without discussing it with me and probably don't understand the problems with source materials and haven't given me a copy of my last edit and you deleted it from the edit logs. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 15:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
0mtwb9gd5wx, as I mentioned before, copyright violations don't need discussion. As soon as they are identified they have to be removed. I am very sure I understand correctly that copying two paragraphs from a source that explicitly has a copyright disclaimer at the bottom of the page is a copyright violation. As I mentioned in the ANI thread (which I thought would be enough), if you want the content sent you need to ask the deleting administrator, Cwmhiraeth, not me. Please thoroughly read Wikipedia:Copyright violations before commenting on this again. β BerrelyΒ β’Β TalkβContribs15:53, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
I dont remember that specific item, I can't see that, because it is not on wikipedia. That work took me all day, the citations had content to refer to in additional article content that would have used the same citations. Also many of the references contradict one another, so I needed to keep track of those as well. All my fair-use quotations were blockquoted with "s and references. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk)
0mtwb9gd5wx I did not remove anything except the content you copied from the link above. You did not put the copied text in quote marks and even if you did 2 paragraphs is well above the limit and not fair use. β BerrelyΒ β’Β TalkβContribs16:45, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
Vitaium, often popular pages, especially on controversial topics, get vandalised a lot more than normal articles. In these cases administrators "protect" an article, generally semi-protection, which means autoconfirmed editors like yourself can edit them (10 edits over 30 days). Rarely, on very contentious topics or in cases where semi-protection isn't enough, we have 2 other types of protections for articles, pending changes protection, and extended confirmed protection. Pending changes means a reviewer (like me) checks over the edit and then approves or declines it, though we don't use this as much. Extended confirmed protection is generally used on very controversial aticles (such as the September 11 attacks) and means only editors who are 3 months old and have 500 edits (you need 73 more edits) can edit them, though you'll basically never come across these. Templates and other places are also protected with their own protection. A detailed explanation is at Help:Protection. Feel free to ask anymore questionsΒ :). β BerrelyΒ β’Β TalkβContribs11:07, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Feedback request: Wikipedia style and naming request for comment
There are a few new admins who have joined the Admin Team, congrats to them! Remember, if you see a use who you believe meets the criteria for adminship here, or on other projects (Please check that Wikipedia/Wikimedia Project's Adminship Criteria page, as they vary by project), you can give it a try and nominate them for adminship if they are okay with it!
Humour
There is no due date in Wikipedia, so I could take 1000 years to write this issue! ;P
If you are reading this, you are reading this! (makes no sense, but okay!)
Hi Berrely. Thanks for adding {{Vector version available}} to file pages like you did here. Could you also add the syntax |nonfree=yes to the template when the non-vector version is non-free in future cases? Displaying a non-free file anywhere other than in the article namespace is going to flagged as a WP:NFCC#9 violation for review by a bot. The bot looking for NFCC#9 violations might catch such a file before the older no longer use non-vestor version is deleted per WP:F5 depending upon when the "vva" template is added and when the bot made its last run. It's not a huge deal either way, but you adding the syntax when you first add the "vva" template might save someone else from having to look at the file and sort things out a few days later. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:06, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
Marchjuly of course, apologies. I don't really ever add that template to non-free files; that was a one of case, but I'll make sure to add that in the future (hopefully Twinkle will get an option to select that parameter eventually). Cheers β BerrelyΒ β’Β TalkβContribs21:27, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
