User talk:K6ka/Archives/2014/NovemberRestoring absurd content with non-existing reference sourcesYou seem to have reverted my action and restored content subjected to non-existing reference source in the Wine article, together with the non-existing source, leaving it in incomplete state. The content itself is absurd, as all research projects of pased decades aimed to establish oringins of winegrape cultivation failed to narrow it down to such exteemly tiny geographic area. If such highly doubtfull content is added to the article, it should be based on solid reference sources. I highly suggest it to be removed. --Hayordi (talk) 12:42, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

As the page is now displayed, these two are off set from the list of units. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.73.128.159 (talk) 20:42, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
My apologiesI seem to have a problem with my copy and pasting. That was intended to be a joke to myself, and apparently I copied it in.

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta. Recent improvementsThe French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias next week, and eventually at the English Wikipedia. The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon. VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet. The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar's menus are now shown in the menus. VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience / Design group. The appearance of dialogs has already changed in one Mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.) Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search program could not find the page. A link inside a template, to a local page that does not exist, will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to a error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [20] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed. TemplateDataThe tool for quickly editing TemplateData will be deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool is already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template. You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common response for that parameter. The autovalue can be easily overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field. In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead. Looking aheadBasic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in tables will appear next Wednesday. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be possible later. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus will be hidden behind a "More" item, such as "underlining" in the styling menu. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The user guide will be updated soon to add information about editing tables. The translations for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki. You can influence VisualEditor's design. Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.

Feroze GandhiMy friend.. Feroze was given the surname of "Gandhi". How can you also change the names of his family? How can you add Gandhi surname to his father and mother? Indira Gandhi was born Indira Nehru in a Kashmiri Pandit family on 19 November 1917 in Allahabad but Feroze was born Feroze Gandhi.. REALLY? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xkart001 (talk • contribs) 12:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
To K6kaHello I am LittleMissRich You said something about me editing an article and you said it is not convincing so I search for the page that you are talking about. I didn't edited it Well maybe another person edited the article but the person (which I suspected one of my friends) uses my account but still thank you for informing me and thank you for editing it. ^_^ — Preceding unsigned comment added by LittleMissRich (talk • contribs) 12:53, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks so much!Thank you for editing as requested! I really appreciate it, since the protocols for doing so seem so complex. You almost need Bletchley Park brains to use! In any event, I appreciate your taking action--I never could have done it (obviously) by myself.

Username change requestHi, as per your suggestion, I made a request on m:SRUC, but to no avail: [38] What would you recommend I do next? I can't change my name due to the ru local account, and I can't do a global request due to the global account, leaving me stumped. Does it help that the ru account has not been used since 2011?

Why aren't you an administrator?I suspect it's because no one has yet offered to nominate you, so please accept this offer. I would recommend you find at least one co-nominator though - perhaps someone who can do a deeper dive into your contributions, as my nomination statement will probably be somewhat brief. If you don't want to stand for adminship now, consider this an open offer. Let me know if you want me to write up the nomination. Cheers, –xenotalk 19:54, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Username change request (2)I was told that the name Gregory Christopher Baggett which I changed from NYC HDFC is already being used. It may be me that created that account but never edited any Wiki content please advise. Is it possible for me to have a name associated with NYC HDFC and one associated with my work as an professor which is different from the work housing advocacy work I do or it it best to usurp the old account and use only one identification when editing and writing Wiki entries. I am new to the technology and is essentially feeling my way through the dark. Gregory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.44.171 (talk) 18:12, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Vandalism.Excuse me if this inappropriate, you are my first Wiki experience, which I must add is quite nerve-racking. On reading your user page, liking you have a humourous nature and cleaning the work of vandals, I wondered if you were aware of the fact the red phone box once in use, in England, now part of England's heritage, are named K6. A snippet of information and you see the connection. Hopefully, I haven't broke any rules, and gives me the confidence I need, to contribute to Wikipedia, Any advice would be very welcome. Apology in advance if I have erred.Justjoe23 (talk) 20:46, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
