Submodule deletion

Hi, thanks for deleting Module:WD/aliasesP/doc. However, it was actually my intention to have Module:WD/aliasesP deleted as it's no longer used. Could you please delete the submodule itself too? Thanks! Thayts ••• 20:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi User:Thayts, this is done. Rehman 04:06, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Declined G6

Re: this edit: Why? This is a clear case of an uncontroversial move over a redirect, per a clearly established guideline, to correct a simple error by the article creator who was evidently unaware of Wikipedia's preferred style regarding such matters. Forcing it through a full RM discussion would be a total waste of time. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello. The diff you provided is not an edit I've made. I presume you meant the following edit? The move seems to contradict WP:COMMONNAME, hence I suggest you start a discussion at the article talkpage first. Rehman 10:36, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Sorry; yes, I meant the following edit. Why, though, do you believe following proper capitalisation per WP:TITLETM ("Article titles follow standard English text formatting in the case of trademarks") would contradict WP:COMMONNAME in this case? All third-party reliable sources that I found in a very brief search, including the Bangkok Post[1], The Nation[2], the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission[3] and The SAGE International Encyclopedia of Mass Media and Society[4], all use "Mono 29". I'm confident that a proposal on the article talk page would stand the week without any opposition (and probably without any attention at all). But why waste an entire week when it should be already as clear as day that this is an uncontroversial move, in accordance with policy? Since you have not provided any valid reason for opposition apart from a personal hunch that it might contradict a guideline, which I have shown it doesn't, I am going to restore the CSD template. If you're still unsure, I would appreciate if you allowed another admin to handle the request. Thank you. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:00, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

The move seemed controversial to me at first. But after your explanation, I guess we can proceed until someone voices against it. I have now deleted the redirect. Feel free to move the other page. Thanks, Rehman 17:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Inviting your comments on featured list candidate List of active coal-fired power stations in Turkey

Hello Rehman,

I just came across List of power stations in Sri Lanka which I see you got featured recently after a lot of hard work. If you have time to take a look at List of active coal-fired power stations in Turkey I would welcome your comments at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of active coal fired power stations in Turkey/archive1

Hi Chidgk1. Thanks for the message. I'm mostly working+wiking simultaneously these days. Will have a look as soon as I get a bit of free time. Cheers, Rehman 16:29, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Need a help regarding infobox

Hi found your username from WP:IEmbed. I am struggling with sports infobox. Is there any multisport club infobox exists in wikipedia or is there any tweaks available to embed sports infobox like required in Mohun Bagan A.C. ? I need an embeding option like mentioned in WP:IEmbed but it's not working in this case. Can you please help me out in this. Will be thankful. Please feel free to ping me. Drat8sub (talk) 02:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Drat8sub. My apologies, I had somehow missed your message. Did you get this sorted? Rehman 05:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

No need to apologise, I can understand, everyone is busy in real life. Thank you for responding. Anyway, no, I have not get any help from anybody I asked for. I need an option for embedding the infoboxes present in the article or a new infobox which is for "Sports club" that plays multiple sports and can include info in it as presented in the article. Can you please help me with it? Drat8sub (talk) 16:27, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Drat8sub, sure I'd be glad to help. But I'm a little unsure on what exactly you want to achieve. Would you be able to explain a bit more please? On Mohun Bagan A.C., I see a {{Infobox sports team}} and a {{Infobox football team}}. Do you want a way to embed the latter into the former using an embed parameter (like {{Infobox power station}})? Rehman 14:28, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted, the {{Infobox football team}} to be embedded with {{Infobox sports team}}. I have tried the available embedded options but failed to do so.

And above that I think wikipedia needs a template for a separate version of infobox {{Infobox sports club}} in which information for different sports that the club has participated can be included together, like if the club plays football, hockey, cricket its info can be displayed with different heading. Can it be done? Drat8sub (talk) 15:28, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Drat8sub. Got it. I've gone ahead and added the child and subbox parameters as documented in {{Infobox}}. Feel free to let me know if you bump into any issues. As for {{Infobox sports club}}, it seems like it already has a |sports= parameter. If that's not what you wanted, I'd suggest starting a thread at the template's talkpage, as the editors there would have a better idea on this topic than me. Hope this helps. Cheers, Rehman 16:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

This account is mine(see m:User:Daedan), so can you delete this page? --Gomdoli4696 (토론) 10:34, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Theresa Greenfield (American Politician)

Good evening Rehman,

I looked into creating a Wikipedia page about Theresa Greenfield this week, but the records show that you converted the page "Theresa Greenfield (American Politician)" into "Theresa Greenfield," which redirects to a General Election heading of the 2020 United States Senate election in Iowa article. Somehow this is preventing me from initiating the creation of a page about this individual.

Could you potentially share why you made this change, and how we might go about creating a page about Theresa Greenfield?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Charlie — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlie918 (talk • contribs) 06:02, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Charlie918. Thanks for your message. The rename is not the reason why the page is uneditable. The page was protected by admin User:Muboshgu following this discussion. Hope this clarifies. Rehman 11:46, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Good morning Rehman. Thank you very much for the swift response. Yes, I was directed to this lengthy thread this morning. It seems this article has quite the controversial history, I had no idea - it's justification for existence seemed quite apparent. Thanks for following up! --Charlie918 (talk) 16:49, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

File:Skoda Rapid in Street.jpg

Hello Rehman. Some time ago you deleted File:Skoda Rapid in Street.jpg. Could you please check if this is the same image as File:Škoda Rapid 2017.png? I only saw one entry in the deletion log and if both images are the same and the old one got deleted for being a copyvio, the still existing file may would have to be deleted as well. --D-Kuru (talk) 02:31, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi D-Kuru. You are right. I've deleted the Commons file as well. Thanks! Rehman 04:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

• Rehman very sorry to hear that as well. Through we have not interacted much ,I have been great admirer of your contributions in Sri Lanka topics.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:35, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
• Thanks for reaching out, A.Savin and Pharaoh of the Wizards. We took a triple hit in the previous two months, and things are quite bad. To make matters worse, we're drowning in debt amidst an economic crisis here. So I may not be able to edit for the time being, until I at least figure out how to get my family back on track. Hope things are fine with you guys. Take care, Rehman 02:54, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

• • Hi Rehman. you may wish to disclose what exactly is needed to redeem your debts and surely I'm amongst the first who is willing to help, and also, some Commons colleagues very likely would participate too. Please don't hesitate to mail me if you wish, I would appreciate. (Unfortunately I've lost your contacts you provided two years ago, mea culpa...) Best regards --A.Savin (talk) 14:18, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Crowdfunding status

In case someone is actively watching here and cares about the campaign to support Rehman.

I've received all what has been donated so far, and I am ready to forward it to Rehman. Last weeks I didn't hear from him, hope there is nothing critical and he is well.

The campaign has unfortunately not become popular, however it's still active, at the moment I'm not planning to discontinue it unless Rehman tells me to do. Anyone still can and is encouraged to contribute.

Anyone who donated and wants to have evidence the funds been transferred, may feel free to email me for transaction details, that's no problem; but as said, as of now nothing was transferred yet. I'm continuing to keep my eye on this, stay strong and come back Rehman.

Thanks --A.Savin (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Update 2022-04-23

The campaign is still pending; however unfortunately due to Ukraine War: a) it's clear that some people are now in an even much worse situation, with the result of decreasing willingness to help a Sri Lankan colleague; b) the current economic development is very bad in Sri Lanka, even worse than it already has been before March. That said, what we've raised so far I'll have to transfer to Rehman in several small parts, to avoid its speedy devaluation due to daily increasing LKR/$ rate.
