Hi, CAPTAIN RAJU. I wanted to bring this discussion to your attention. Your dedication to the project is evident, and many of the background work that you have been doing (in relisting AfD discussions, for example) have been invaluable. But I wanted to emphasize that quality is always preferred over quantity, and if you are creating unreferenced pages with little indicator of notability as a Reviewer, it undermines the confidence of the community on NPP. So I am hoping that while you improve the quality of your content creation, you would also exercise extra care than usual over your patrolling, so that your Reviewer access does not have to be temporarily removed as well. Regards, Alex ShihTalk 15:28, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks!

Relisting AfDs..
Latest comment: 6 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion
Going to second this. Please don't relist AfDs for a third time without a good reason (for example, if someone adds new sources at the end of the second relist), and please leave that reason as a relisting comment - "last relist" is not a valid relisting comment, especially since someone already stated that there was no reason to relist the first two times and asked someone to close the discussion. Leave them to the admins - heck, you could have even closed that one yourself. I know I would have, had I seen it earlier. Thanks, ansh666 09:14, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
I understood your advice. I will remember your advice.Thanks for helping me.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 11:16, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

No point in writing to people whose only identification is their IP address. When they log on the address will simply be allocated to someone else, while the origimnal contributor will never see your message 95.151.191.219 (talk) 09:20, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
That's not the conventional wisdom - there are whole ranges of templates aimed at IP editors. Some IP addresses are very dynamic, others not. It's worth leaving a message in the hope that the appropriate editor will read it. PamD 12:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Women in Red October editathon invitation
Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Welcome to Women in Red's October 2017 worldwide online editathons.
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
Wikitext syntax highlighting is a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. This beta feature is based on CodeMirror. You can now search through the entire article with CTRL+F or cmd+F when you edit. Before it just searched through a part of the article. The developers are also fixing a couple of other bugs. [1][2]
You now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device or IP address that have logged in to your account before you will be notified after five failed attempts. For security reasons you will soon get an email by default when someone tries to log in to your account and when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address. This can be turned off in your preferences. [4]
Users with extremely old browsers (for example Netscape 2–4, released from 1995–1997) which do not support Unicode will no longer be able to edit. They should try to install a new browser. [5]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 September. It will be on all wikis from 28 September. (calendar).
Meetings
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 27 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
You can't use OCG to create PDFs after 1 October. This is because of technical problems. You can still create PDFs. Tech News 2017/37 said the function to create PDFs from books would still work. It is now clear it will not work for the next few months. The developers are working on fixing this. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
Rolled out more fine-grained usage tracking on Greek Wikipedia. This will lead to less irrelevant changes showing up in watchlist and recent changes on those projects. We're testing this on Greek Wikipedia to see if the solution we have scales before rolling it out further. (phabricator:T151717)
Adding an API module to copy a statement from one item to another (phabricator:T55619)
Working more on checking constraints also on qualifiers and references (phabricator:T168532)
Added support for the Creator namespace to the constraints check for Commons links (phabricator:T176062)
I edited it because this is me and the current information is dated and is inaccurate--I updated it to be current and truthful.

Following a successful proposal to create it, a new user right called "edit filter helper" is now assignable and revocable by administrators. The right allows non-administrators to view the details of private edit filters, but not to edit them.
Following a discussion about mass-application of ECP and how the need for logging and other details of an evolving consensus may have been missed by some administrators, a rough guide to extended confirmed protection has been written. This information page describes how the extended-confirmed aspects of the protection policy are currently being applied by administrators.
A request for comment is open regarding the structure, rules, and procedures of the December 2017 Arbitration Committee election, and how to resolve any issues not covered by existing rules.
Added a css class to values that link to redirects so they can more easily be identified by editors who want that for maintenance work (phabricator:T70567) Thanks Matej!
Finishing touches on adding full URIs for external identifiers to our RDF export so we're good citizens of the semantic web (phabricator:T121274)
Added a new mw.wikibase.getAllStatements Lua function in addition to the existing getBestStatements, that returns all statements regardless of their rank (phabricator:T176124)
Looking into an issue where unwanted email notifications are being sent (phabricator:T174794)

You can now use preload features in the visual editor. This means you can create links to create new pages and some text will already be in the edit window when someone clicks on it. [6]
Changes later this week
If you have turned on "Automatically enable most beta features" you will now get the 2017 wikitext editor. Before this you had to turn it on manually even though it is a beta feature. [7]
The jQuery library will be upgraded to version 3 on all Wiktionary wikis from 2 October. It will be on all non-Wikipedia wikis from 4 October. It will be on all wikis from 5 October. [9]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 October. It will be on all wikis from 5 October (calendar).

Future changes
A new feature called Reading Lists are coming to the Wikipedia mobile apps. First it will be in the Android version. Reading Lists are a private user preference where you can see lists of articles on multiple devices. You can give feedback on this feature. [10]
The search function has used fallback languages for language analysis. This means a language could be analysed with the grammar of a completely unrelated language to find related words. This will be removed from most wikis the week starting with 9 October. You can read more and give feedback.
Hello,
I have creat the article Name Tradition(2016). But you rename it as Tradition(Film). But it is wrong because it is not a film. It is only a short film. So please be kind enought to keep my article name as "
Tradition(2016)" or we can keep the name as "Tradition(2016)short film" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ransu601 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Recent changes
The number of active users listed by {{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}} and on Special:Statistics will now only include Wikidata edits as activity on Wikidata and not on other wikis too. [11]
You will not be able to edit or upload files to Commons for around 30 minutes on 11 October. This will start at 06:00 UTC. This is because of work to let Commons show 3D models. [13]
Changes later this week
The font in the edit window is monospace by default. Today you can change preferences to another font family or use "the browser default" instead of monospace. Switching to the browser default has only changed the font on Macs. The option to use browser default will be removed this week. [14]
If you want to print a page or make a PDF of a page you can do so in the side menu. The way the pages look when you do this will change. You can read more on mediawiki.org.

Hi. I don't know how to fix this, but suspect you probably do. Comments on some of the Sri Lankan cricketers under general AfD currently don't seem to be transferring across to the "local" discussions on the cricket-related, Sri Lanka-related and sportspeople-related AfD discussions. How does one make all the comments appear in all the places? Thanks. Johnlp (talk) 21:05, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Learn how to work with your photos to illustrate New York City articles!
Note that this is part of the larger Open House New York Weekend activities on Saturday and Sunday, when sites normally closed to the public are open for public visits and photography.
If you can, bring your camera/photos to the event, and a laptop if you'd like to engage in adding photos to articles. But this is not necessary.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 15:33, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Rosebery 7470
Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hi, I'm Atlantic306. CAPTAIN RAJU, thanks for creating Rosebery 7470!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hi, letterboxdvd and amazon are considered unreliable sources on Wikipedia so can you please replace them, thanks
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
