NPP School request

Latest comment: 3 years ago6 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, I'm interested in the NPP school. Would you mind taking me as a student? I've finished he CVUA, and now want to expand into NPP. I've read all of the syllabus pages. Hope you'll give this thought. Thanks, Thanoscar21talk, contribs 21:57, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanoscar21, good day, pls provide the link of your CUVA program. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 12:24, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Here it is. Thanks for considering, Thanoscar21talk, contribs 17:52, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanoscar21 Good day and thank you for the link. NPPSCHOOL program is a comprehensive program which requires the participant to spend time to read provided material (WP pages) and do the assignments. The project consists of 3 parts with 10 assignments and 1 final exam. It covers notability, sources, tagging, wiki project, subsort, wiki content policies, CSD, PROPS, AfD, communication, review and much more topics. Participant usually takes 3 months to complete the program (it depends how much time you spend on the program). Many participant abandoned the program due to the find they need to spend more time on the assignments/reading material as they anticipate. Once you have complete the program, you would equip with the knowledge to review new pages. I am the trainer for CVUA and NPPSCHOOL, do note that NPPSCHOOL program is a lot harder than that of CUVA and I do expect answers provided need to supported by guidelines, justification of your reason, provide all hist diff for any tagging, article page, editor talk page, reports/discussion pages and any relevant hist diffs. Let me know if you are still interest to join the program after reading the info above. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:32, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Cassiopeia, yes, I'm still interested. Thank you for considering, Thanoscar21talk, contribs 21:45, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanoscar21 Greetings. I have set up the program page for you. For all the assignments, pls provide hist diffs of the articles, reverts, edits, reports, results of the reports, guidilines, talk page messages, and any hist diff that is applicable. Pls provide guidelines where applicable and justify/explain your application or analysis. Pls ping me if you need assistance (here in this program page at the communication section of every assignment). Welcome to NPPS! Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 04:29, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #426

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • We would love suggestions for tools to include in this section of the weekly summary. Please add your suggestions directly under Status updates/Next#Backlog after checking that the tool isn't already listed.
  • Development
    • Changed the size of image previews to 1024 in the gallery view of the query service to avoid some images not loading sometimes (phabricator:T258241)
    • Added an actual space between the entity title and the name of the fallback language (if any), so that the fallback language isn't selected anymore when double-clicking the entity title for copying (phabricator:T256857)
    • Fixed the directionality of text pieces in placeholders that mix LTR and RTL (phabricator:T253812)
    • Continued work on first pieces of design system to make coding new features easier in the future
    • Continued untangling the code of Wikibase Client and Wikibase Repo to make it easier to develop on them
    • Finished first piece of research on how to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers - more work to be done
    • Preparing to start coding on the Query Builder to make it easier to create queries without having to know SPARQL
    • Finished running the scraper that gets potential new references for unreferenced statements and preparing it for publishing

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

My apologies

Latest comment: 3 years ago8 comments2 people in discussion

I removed a country link on the UFC Fight Night 176 page earlier today. You never actually wanted countries to be linked inside the infobox, so I'm sorry for being insensitive and misinterpreting the guidelines. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to lessen your burden here. — 29cwcst (talk) 03:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

29cwcst No worries and I saw you removed the country link for UFN 176 as per MOS:LINK guidlines. I also saw you had corrected the 2020 in UFC of City info - Appreciate it for helping out and thank you for your contribution. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:04, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
@Cassiopeia: Likewise, but why did you revert my UFC Fight Island 1, 2 and 3 edits? They were event names that were genuinely being used, even by the UFC itself. Here are some URLs to support the point I'm making:

Please explain this to me. — 29cwcst (talk) 02:05, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

29cwcst Normally we have only UFN, UFC on ESPN and PPV use to create a page. Island name is new and not sure it will be continued. If you look at the history log, other long term editors have removed the before. If the Yas Island would continue to hold the events due to c19 and many source do use that then you could propose in MMA talk page. Cheers. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:45, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
@Cassiopeia: I don't mean as a title or a redirect, but simply as another event name mentioned/referenced within the article. Even if the Island name is new and might not be continued, I'm going to add them back because those three events were also known by that name. For my sake at least, please don't revert these edits again. — 29cwcst (talk) 03:45, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
29cwcst If the name is added to the page then a redirect should be done so viewers can search the event in Wikipedia. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:38, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
@Cassiopeia:   Done. I also added a UFC Vegas 5 redirect to UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Shahbazyan as well. — 29cwcst (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
29cwcst Saw and thank you. Stay safe and enjoy the fights tmrw. Cassiopeia(talk) 09:46, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Khabib Nurmagomedov's relationship with his father

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hey Cassiopeia, was editing Khabib Nurmagomedov's article and I realized that his father Abdulmanap (rest in peace) is pointed out as his trainer. Do you think he should remain there after the tragic incident? Maybe it's a little bit disrespectful to Khabib, as he may still see him as his trainer. What do you think? Personally I'd leave it there. Thank you.PabloLikesToWrestle (talk) 15:18, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

PabloLikesToWrestle Good day. His passing of his father is already stated at the "Personal life" of Khabib Nurmagomedov page. You can add "also his trainer" in the content if you like. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #427

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • Open request for adminship: Wiki13
  • Tool of the week
    • SQID allows you to analyse, browse and query Wikidata. SQID is inspired by Magnus Manske's Reasonator, but focuses on prominently featuring information about Wikidata classes and properties.
  • Development
    • The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
      • Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
      • REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
      • Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
      • Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

Tech News: 2020-32

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

  • All queries to the Wikidata Query Service failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period. [6]
  • Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in Tech News two weeks ago. The problem is now fixed. [7]
  • There is a problem with the global preferences for the "Use Legacy Vector" option. Developers are working on fixing it. [8]
  • A bug in the Wikibase extension had disabled the "move" and "create" types of protection in the main (Gallery) namespace on Wikimedia Commons. New protections could not be added, and existing protections were not enforced, allowing some page moves and page creations that should not have been possible. This has now been fixed. [9]

Changes later this week

  • The video player will change to be simpler and more modern. This week, the current beta feature will become the video player for everyone on most non-Wikipedia wikis. The old player will be removed. [10]
  • Users' global.js and global.css pages will now also be loaded on the mobile site. You can read documentation for how to avoid applying styles to the mobile skin. [11]
  •   In the MonoBook skin, the searchGoButton identifier is now searchButton. This may affect CSS and JS gadgets. Migration instructions can be found in T255953. This was previously mentioned in issue 27.
  •   Bot operators can use Pywikibot to regularly archive discussions. The behavior when the bot uses counter to prevent large archives was changed. [12]
  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 4. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 5. It will be on all wikis from August 6 (calendar).

CVUA request

Latest comment: 3 years ago12 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Cassiopeia! I'm back again, I have completed the 200 mainspace edits requirement (http://en.wikichecker.com/user/?t=CompassOwl I had to use wikichecker because Xtools had a lag) and reverted a good amount of vandalism in the meantime. So I would like to be accepted in to the CVUA program. Cheers, CompassOwl (talk to me!) 20:37, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

CompassOwl Hi, good day. You have less than 200 total edits in the mainspace as per THIS. Come back when you have more than 200 total edits. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:16, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
That's because of Xtools' lag(changes newer than two days may not be shown) as it says on the top of that page. If you use another edit counter such as wikichecker you will find that I have more than 200. CompassOwl (talk to me!) 11:12, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
CompassOwl While waiting for xtool to update your current total edits, kindly complete WP:ADVENTURE program to gain some basic Wikipedia guidelines. Pop back here when you have finished. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:15, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Okay. CompassOwl (talk to me!) 11:19, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
  Done with WP:ADVENTURE as can be seen on my userpage. Cheers, CompassOwl (talk to me!) 22:12, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Can I be accepted now or do I still have to wait for Xtools' lag to end? CompassOwl (talk to me!) 11:18, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

CompassOwl Your main space edits still shows lower that 200 - see HERE. When it shows more than 200, please pop back here.Stay safe. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:35, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
CASSIOPEIA, do you insist on using Xtools? I don't think the lag's going to be fixed anytime soon. I already have 650+ edits, Xtools only show 530. I'm sure in that 120 edits there's 9 mainspace edits. CompassOwl (talk to me!) 17:58, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Yes! [13] 209 edits. CompassOwl (talk to me!) 18:10, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Can you accept me now? CompassOwl (talk to me!) 16:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
CompassOwl Hello, Your user page indicated you are retired; however, your edit summary indicate otherwise - see here. If you are indeed retired then I would not set up the CUVA program, if not, then pls remove the retirement template from your user page. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:36, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

CVU/Academy training request

Hi Cassiopeia, I reached out to you a couple weeks ago regarding joining the CVU Academy [14]. I have since completed my 200 mainspace edits (although you might not be able to see the updated number for a few days due to the lag). I saw you asked another potential trainee above to complete the Wikipedia Adventures, which I have also already done. Would you please be able to train me now? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance! PinkElixir (talk) 20:03, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Latest comment: 3 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

not sure what other sources are needed. His youtube channel uses his real name, USADA testing database clearly indicates his name is Estevan [1] . (part of my reason for including real names on MMA fighters is for people referring to the USADA database for testing info not being able to find them). Outside of USADA and his own social media what do you propose? :D Dimspace (talk) 15:07, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Cassiopeia(talk) 10:17, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Cassiopeia,how the hell did you manage to find that. I went to the commission calendar page yesterday specifically looking for his DWCS stuff and the calendar did not have the results cards for 2019. That was the first place I went to try and source it. Ah well, hes thankfully on there as Estevan M Garcia :D 14:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
I looked via the calendar [1] but all of august 2019 stuff was missing except a few weigh ins and the commission meeting. edit: got it.. man the results pages are so much easier than wading through the calendar. fwiw the only time i tend to worry about real names is for USADA purposes. Where there is a discrepancy between their "fight name" and how they appear in teh usada database as it may help people who are looking for athlete test records.

Administrator?

Latest comment: 3 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

Hi greetings, I would like to suggest you to nominate for adminship on Wikipedia. You are a competent user and very active contributor. Admin right will surely help you to enhance your activities especially on CVU, NPP, etc. If you allow, I can nominate you. Thank you.--PATH SLOPU 11:38, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hello Path slopu. I have previously nominated Cassiopeia back in February for adminship and it failed. See here. I would recommend asking again in a few years' time so you can give them time to address the concerns raised by the opposers and hopefully become a better contributor. I hope this helps. Interstellarity (talk) 11:54, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
@Interstellarity and Path slopu: Slopu, thank you for suggestion, but I will pass this time as the incident was during my early time in Wikipedia and even after more than 100K edits and years later and I have never done it ever since, unfortunately it was brought it up during RFA. As for the R2, it is as per guidelines stated but some admins didnt like it. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 00:12, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
So, does that mean you are ready to be nominated again? Thank you. PATH SLOPU 03:08, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

UFC Fight Night 174 aired a week before the event in question, so the event that followed was supposed to be 175, and in any case not 173. Aside from the UFC decision, the event is recognized in this numbering on the Internet. Accordingly, I suggest omitting the current numbering and leaving only the event title. עו"ש (talk) 20:23, 5 August 2020 (UTC) - The one who changed the numbering and is suspected of vandalism;)

עו"ש Goo day. UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Shahbazyan is UFC Fight Night 173. When a event is announced there is no healiners is set for such a UFN numbering is need to create the page until the headliners is officially shown in the UFC.com event page. Stay safe and best.

Investigation into unusual activity on UFC 252

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UFC_252&action=history UFC 252 for past past week or 2. This UFC 252 page suddenly became active more than usual from good faith editors and bad faith. Did someone posted link on another website for them go there or what? Kent Bargo (talk) 19:06, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Kent Bargo good day. It is normal the traffic of the page getting busy when (1) the event is closer to the event day (2) the headliner or anticipated matches have been set, (3) sudden change of card/bout for some controversial issues (4) internet meme / some trolling by fighters in the internet (5) during an event (6)a controversial decision / sensational KO of the fight results and etc. Last 2 weeks when DC & Ariel podcast faulty mentioned Duffee & Villante bout and vandalism went through the roof in several pages and I have to place about 100 warning messages on editor talk page. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:35, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Tech News: 2020-33

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

  • FileImporter and FileExporter became standard features on all Wikis during the first week of August. They help you transfer files from local wikis to Wikimedia Commons with the original file information and history intact. [16]

Problems

  • The mobile skin displays a message at the bottom of the page about who edited last. This message showed raw wikitext. This has now been fixed. Some messages in Structured Discussions and content translation may still appear as raw wikitext. Developers are working on it. [17]

Changes later this week

  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from August 11. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from August 12. It will be on all wikis from August 13 (calendar).

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [18][19]
