  • Advanced item Wikimedia developers can now officially continue to use both Gerrit and GitLab, due to a June 24 decision by the Wikimedia Foundation to support software development on both platforms. Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users. More details are available in the Migration status page.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation seeks applicants for the Product and Technology Advisory Council (PTAC). This group will bring technical contributors and Wikimedia Foundation together to co-define a more resilient, future-proof technological platform. Council members will evaluate and consult on the movement's product and technical activities, so that we develop multi-generational projects. We are looking for a range of technical contributors across the globe, from a variety of Wikimedia projects. Please apply here by August 10.
  • Editors with rollback user-rights who use the Wikipedia App for Android can use the new Edit Patrol features. These features include a new feed of Recent Changes, related links such as Undo and Rollback, and the ability to create and save a personal library of user talk messages to use while patrolling. If your wiki wants to make these features available to users who do not have rollback rights but have reached a certain edit threshold, you can contact the team. You can read more about this project on Diff blog.
  • Editors who have access to The Wikipedia Library can once again use non-open access content in SpringerLinks, after the Foundation contacted them to restore access. You can read more about this and 21 other community-submitted tasks that were completed last week.

Changes later this week

Future changes

  • Advanced item Next week, functionaries, volunteers maintaining tools, and software development teams are invited to test the temporary accounts feature on testwiki. Temporary accounts is a feature that will help improve privacy on the wikis. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page. [1]
  • Editors who upload files cross-wiki, or teach other people how to do so, may wish to join a Wikimedia Commons discussion. The Commons community is discussing limiting who can upload files through the cross-wiki upload/Upload dialog feature to users auto-confirmed on Wikimedia Commons. This is due to the large amount of copyright violations uploaded this way. There is a short summary at Commons:Cross-wiki upload and discussion at Commons:Village Pump.

Updating bibliography in the WIKIPEDIA article on Seta B. Dadoyan

[edit]

Dear Colleague, I fully understand and indeed appreciate the strict rules of editing and the problem of "conflict of interest." However, the suggested edition was ONLY an updating of bibliography, such as new publications, corrections of exiting dates/pages. Obviously, this sort of information will only be available to the author. or myself. A full and complete bibliography is always welcome, and it is not available anywhere else, except WIKIPEDIA. I do very much hope that you will consider the edition/completion of the "Works" section. The existing one lacks a very substantial part of my works. As you kindly go over it, you will see that there is not a single statement or word of praise or evaluation. It is all purely bibliographical material.

With many thanks!

SBD Seta dadoyan (talk) 00:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Seta dadoyan, the removal of the bibliography was mostly due to Style. The bibliography should not be longer than the rest of the article. Due to that, only the most notable ones, that can be sourced, should be added. While I understand that you'd like it to be the complete list, Wikipedia is not a directory. You could instead try creating a Bibliography list article on it's own at Draft:Seta Dadoyan bibliography, but I'm not sure how the notability would apply for that. It's also important to keep using the same style for all items, for example by using the citation templates for all them ({{Cite book}}, {{Cite journal}}). @Bbb23 Anything I missed? Nobody (talk) 06:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As instructed, I cut the proposed update to 50% of earlier version, it is now in the required size and style. Please kindly consider the improvement, as the existing entry is seriously incomplete.

Thanks!

Question from Katrine Moite (10:14, 18 July 2024)

[edit]

Hello, I want to add an article abput me and my work as a photographer to the Wikipedia. How can I do this? thanks --Katrine Moite (talk) 10:14, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Katrine Moite, there's a few things to consider. First there's Autobiography, a guideline that discourages writing about themself. There's Conflict of interest which also would apply. For the draft itself there are also a few things to consider: It needs Reliable sources for Verifiability and Notability, it needs to be written in a neutral tone.

Feature News

  • Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
  • Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [2]
  • Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [3]
  • Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
  • Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [4]

Project Updates

  • Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

  • Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
  • How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

The removal of the entire 'Works' section from WIKI entry Seta Dadoyan, scholar...

[edit]

Dear 1AmNobody24, as per our previous talks, the issue is the removal of the entire section on 'Works' from the WIKI entry on Seta Dadoyan, an "Armenian historian, scholar..." The reason was explained as the section being too long. I totally understand the concern, and it is absolutely legitimate. As discussed, I sent you a very abbreviated one page of all published works, books and few articles, with the expectation that we would pursue the effort to restore my 'works'.

The entry on Seta Dadoyan still stands mutilated, a scholar, and a prominent one at that - with 13 major books and dozens of articles - also a painter, seems strange.

The object is now to find a way to restore the article with a brief section on my "works'. Since all the items there are published by major publishers, there can be no issue of so-called "sources." I will send that page to you anytime.

Also, while we are in this subject, and I greatly appreciate your professionalism about these matters, there are other missing matters in the entire entry, I have no idea who the author is. I suppose WIKI is precisely the venue to highlight the specifities of any subject/episode/person. How do you deal with these matters?

I very much look forward to hearing from you, a very incomplete entry on Seta Dadoyan should not persist long.

Many thanks,

Seta Dadoyan Seta dadoyan (talk) 14:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Seta dadoyan, the best point to start would be to create a complete list of works in your sandbox, sorting it by type (book (book series), articles). After that we take a look which ones can be considered the most notable ones. Since you know considerably more about Seta Dadoyan then I do, it makes sense for you to do this part alone and I then help on the second part of figuring out the notability. Nobody (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, 1Nobody 24, I just want to make sure that as per your advice, this morning NY time 12:00, I did send you a complete list of publications in Word and PDF versions (even though the PDF in turn looked like Word in the sandbox. This is for you to kindly "figure out the notablility." I will ask you to please share your edition, if you see it appropriate.
Please confirm receipt of the material sent about 8 hours ago, and if it came through in good form. I may send the material as attachment, if you wish to provide an address.
Many thanks! Seta dadoyan (talk) 23:49, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Seta, I've moved the list to your sandbox and started to improve it's layout, feel free to take a look there. It might take some time until I'm finished with it since I currently don't have much time to edit due to IRL responsibilities, but I'll do my best. Nobody (talk) 05:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi 1AmNobody24,
So nice of you to follow up this matter! We are on track, thank you. I just had a look at the sandbox.
Looking forward to finally having a decent entry worthy of WIKIPEDIA.
Best,

Advice if you want to apply for EFM and other stuff

[edit]

I have some advice if you plan to step up to EFM – for example, in a few years. You need great knowledge of technical competence, have at least a basic-to-advanced knowledge of regex and edit filter syntax, make at least two or more prior contributions to edit filters (public or private) when you are an EFH, and have great responsibility (be accountable for any mistakes you might make). Those on what I just said are my type of criteria if someone wants to run for EFM (when they are currently an EFH).

As for myself, I might run next year for EFM having that I authored some LTA filters and brought one disabled private filter back from the brink, and I, as some dude who has good technical and regex competence, understand the consequences of the EFM role being used improperly and accountability with responsibility.

Note, there is also a private edit filter mailing list where EFH and EFM users/admins can subscribe, on lists.wikimedia.org. Because you hold the EFH role, you can request subscription to that list.

I hope this message helps, and thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 07:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Codename Noreste, I do intend to become an EFM down the line (Probably something we should have mentioned in my EFH nomination). But for now, I'm just gaining more experience (as seen in the new filter request I created yesterday). And while I think I'd be fine with the responsibility, I'm still lacking in regex and edit filter syntax knowledge. I'm already subscribed to the list, just haven't had time recently to take a look at the proposals there. Nobody (talk) 08:48, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
