Hello,
Your account is currently configured with an education program flag. This system (the Courses system) is being deprecated. As such, your account will soon be updated to remove these no longer supported flags. For details on the changes, and how to migrate to using the replacement system (the Programs and Events Dashboard) please see Wikipedia:Education noticeboard/Archive 18#NOTICE: EducationProgram extension is being deprecated.

After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right.

My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.
Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:
Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.
Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.
Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-01-07T21:09:00.000Z","author":"Keegan (WMF)","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Keegan_(WMF)-2019-01-07T21:09:00.000Z-Structured_Data_-_file_captions_coming_this_week_(January_2019)","replies":[]}}-->

Would you be willing and able to edit this page, if you find the information below accurate and appropriate? Thank you very much for your consideration. If any questions, please feel free to contact me at cdpalmer88008@gmail.com.
My suggested edits are based on the article “Census and Other Controversies in Counting Scientologists” by Massimo Introvigne, delivered at the European Association for the Study of Religions, Tartu, Estonia, 27 June 2019, and published by the Center for Studies on New Religions. CESNUR is based in Turin, Italy and was established in 1988 by a group of religious scholars from universities in Europe and the Americas working in the field of new religious movements. The published article can be found at Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).https://www.cesnur.org/testi/se_scientology.htm
There are Wikipedia articles on Mr. Introvigne and CESNUR for more information if useful.
The current text on the page is:
A 2001 survey estimated that 55,000 people in the United States claimed to be Scientologists. Worldwide estimates of Scientology's core practicing membership ranges between 100,000 and 200,000, mostly in the U.S., Europe, South Africa and Australia.[127] The 2008 American Religious Identification Survey found that the number of American Scientologists had dropped to 25,000.[180][181][182][183] A 2008 Trinity College survey concluded there were only 25,000 American Scientologists.[184] Scientology is also declining in the United Kingdom.[185][181] In 2011, high-level defector Jeff Hawkins estimated there were 40,000 Scientologists worldwide.[181]
Although the Church of Scientology claims to be the fastest growing religious movement on Earth, the church's estimates of its membership numbers are reportedly significantly exaggerated.[186][187][188]
Suggested revised text is:
A 2001 survey estimated that 55,000 people in the United States claimed to be Scientologists. Worldwide estimates of Scientology's core practicing membership ranges between 100,000 and 200,000, mostly in the U.S., Europe, South Africa and Australia.[127] The 2008 American Religious Identification Survey did not report adherent figures for small religious groups because of their unreliability. Several scholars and media outlets approached ARIS on membership numbers for Scientology. Their informal response was that their data suggested 25,000 +/- 300,000. [cite note number] A 2008 survey by Trinity College estimated there are about 25,000 committed Scientologists in the United States. As the study’s authors admit, their estimate could be off target. [184] [These last two sentences are a direct quote from the cited reference.]
Suggest deleting “Scientology is reportedly declining in the United Kingdom.”[185][181] as neither citation 181 nor 185 includes comparative numbers of Scientology members in the United Kingdom showing a decline.
In 2011, high-level defector Jeff Hawkins estimated there were 40,000 Scientologists worldwide.[181]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Happy birthday, Wikidata!
Today, on October 29th, it’s Wikidata’s 7th birthday. Time to reflect and celebrate and to look forward to see where we are going from here. Message from the Wikidata development team
The Community Wishlist Survey 2020 from Wikimedia Foundation started. This year, it is focused on small projects and Wikidata-related wishes will not be included.
You can help expanding the list of databases, encyclopedias, etc. which could be added to Mix'n'match. Can be used for property creation too.
Recoin displays information about the relative completeness of a Wikidata item by comparing its statements with those found on other similar items. Especially useful for editors working in a knowledge area that is new to them.

Tabernacle creates a tabular view of a set of data items from a SPARQL query, PagePile list, or manual list of items. You can select which languages and properties to display. The tool lets you drag-and-drop statements from one item to another, and manually add or edit statements without leaving the page. Tabernacle is great for harmonizing a set of related items or identifying items that need their labels and descriptions translated.
Upcoming: next Wikidata office hour, January 22nd, at 17:00 UTC (18:00 UTC+1), on the Wikidata Telegram channel. Topics: presenting the roadmap for 2020 and some news from the development team
Tool of the week
The Wikidata Card Game Generator generates printable cards based on a topic (eg chemical elements) and some statements of the item.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
New gadget added to Preferences, "Show UnpatrolledEdits" (see discussion): it shows if the last edit to the item has not been patrolled
Pywikibot deprecates Python 2 support. Any scripts running via Python 2 should be migrated soon, see more at [1]
The next Weekly Summary (January 27) will be the issue #400. Please help us collecting interesting Wikidata-related facts around the number 400!
