Your revert
Here.[2] I wasn't making a "comment", but assessing the state of the comments that had been made. I don't think re-opening that thread is helpful to anybody, either. Bon courage (talk) 04:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- I think the people commenting in the thread were doing fine without assistance; if his proposal was serious, it at least warrants some kind of response, and if not (it almost certainly wasn't), it doesn't really matter either way. jp×g 02:20, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Signpost activity (redux)
I have replied to the edit you made to your archive, as I wasn't sure if you wanted to revive the conversation on your current talk page (as per your archive header), since you hadn't done it yourself. Personally I think continuing here is a good idea. isaacl (talk) 17:34, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- Either is fine, I guess, although I find it easier to keep track of a conversation when it's all in the same place. jp×g 23:32, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- After your initial reply on the archive page, you edited your archive header to say that you probably won't see edits made to the archive page, so I'll make it easier for you to see my comments by making them here. I appreciate the episode was embarrassing for you, and so it may have been difficult to participate in the corresponding newsroom discussion. Unfortunately, your reticence to engage makes it more challenging for others to provide feedback to you. Being omnipresent and fully involved at all times is naturally not expected. Greater responsiveness, though, will encourage more co-operation and understanding. Good luck! isaacl (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Response
Hey! Not sure why you responded in your own archive but I've since decided to drop that, especially since I don't have much time for editing Wikipedia anymore. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 18:03, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- Alas. Such is life, I suppose! Always good to take a break from time to time. jp×g 23:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Recent changes
- The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
- The Design Systems team has released version 1.0.0 of Codex, the new design system for Wikimedia. See the full announcement about the release of Codex 1.0.0.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
- Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [3][4]
- Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [5]
Future changes
- There is a proposed plan for re-enabling the Graph Extension. You can help by reviewing this proposal and sharing what you think about it.
- The WMF is working on making it possible for administrators to edit MediaWiki configuration directly. This is similar to previous work on Special:EditGrowthConfig. A technical RfC is running until November 08, where you can provide feedback.

November Articles for creation backlog drive
Hello JPxG:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template. at any time by removing the
Were you expecting me to support your RfA?
Can't remember if we discussed this before. Happy to support if you want me to. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 11:58, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Optional question
Hi JPxG. Please review the optional question I posted on your RfA and let me know if this is the sort of scope you were anticipating. Duly signed, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 14:56, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
DYK for Solar eclipse of September 10, 1923
On 2 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Solar eclipse of September 10, 1923, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that scientists traveled thousands of miles to observe the solar eclipse of September 10, 1923, from Santa Catalina Island, but saw only clouds? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Solar eclipse of September 10, 1923. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Solar eclipse of September 10, 1923), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your request for adminship
Hi JPxG, I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Congratulations for both your landslide victory and for your place on WP:RFX200! As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck! Acalamari 08:33, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Complimenti
I'd have changed my vote at RFA in light of the response you gave to the medical question, but time ran out. Slightly annoyed that the other (weird) oppose stopped me ending-up as the lone standout. Anyway, well done and I'm sure you'll do great Bon courage (talk) 08:58, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Database reports – Size
Hi JPxG. First, congratulations on your successful RfA:) Well done!
Question about this edit. What does "size" actually refer to? I can't find a single example where it matches the number of pages in a given report. Must refer to something else?
Also it seems something went wrong on about a dozen or so rows where the Run frequency is displayed in the size column instead where it belongs; if you could please take a look. --DB1729talk 14:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- I realized after posting, size refers to bytes. Not sure why that wasn't obvious to me right away, but I went ahead and changed it to "Size (bytes)" to clarify. I also did a fix on those rows. Is this acceptable? --DB1729talk 15:55, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
A baton for you!
The admin baton | |
This isn't technically my baton to pass, but 0xDeadbeef said they would be unable to pass the baton on this week and said that someone else is welcome to do so.
So with that said, please accept this baton and carry it for the very short time it looks like you'll be able to. Congratulations and welcome to the admin corps @JPxG, we're glad to have you :) Hey man im josh (talk) 12:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC) |

DYK reviewer not active
Hi there! I started my second nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Quách Thị Trang Square. A user, Arcahaeoindris, chose to review it, but he/she just made one comment and became inactive on Wikipedia for 4 days. What should I do in this case? Should I keep waiting and if that’s the case, how long would you recommend? Thanks!! Đại Việt quốc (talk) 00:15, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Not a DYK expert myself... @Vaticidalprophet: What do you reckon they ought to do? jp×g🗯️ 03:12, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Four days happens sometimes, but reviewers suddenly disappearing is a known quandary. If they don't reappear in a week or so, ping me again and I'll add a "new reviewer needed" template. Vaticidalprophet 04:55, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
Edit warring
You should know this, but if you make a change and it gets reverted, it's not a good idea to mash the revert key to try and force your change. That's how edit wars start. An essay that explains a reasonable MO is WP:BRD. Note, BRD, not BRR. Bon courage (talk) 07:06, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- What is the context for this? Duly signed, ⛵ WaltClipper -(talk) 12:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- I am not quite sure. I made a single revert at COVID-19 lab leak theory last night. @Bon courage: is this about that? jp×g🗯️ 18:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Your "single revert" there was to reinstate *your* reverted change (a controversial edit). Of course this is what is referred to. Bon courage (talk) 18:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, then you are simply incorrect. A revert is not an edit war. jp×g🗯️ 20:24, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- I think the article was full protected due to the edits between you and Bon Courage. There's something going on there. Not going to cast blame, but I'd encourage both of you to please try to edit in a way that doesn't get the article full protected. –Novem Linguae (talk) 01:20, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, what exactly is 'simply incorrect'? What I wrote was "That's how edit wars start". As to your statement that 'a revert is not an edit war' - why then did you write this[10] edit summary in response to MY initial revert, 'Please stop edit-warring on this article'? Note am I also still waiting on a response about your (admin-based?) invocation of 'deliberate' source misrepresentation at that article. Bon courage (talk) 04:20, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- You are asking me to justify a claim I did not make, and have told you repeatedly that I did not make. I cannot explain my reasoning behind a thing I did not say. Please stop asking me about it. jp×g🗯️ 06:00, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- You raised two bad faith possibilities about why content had been added, on two occasions. These are you words:
- "Whoever added this was either mistaken or deliberately misrepresenting the source with a vague and difficult-to-verify citation"
- "I am rather concerned by the idea that twelve references could be added to an article to "quell continued objections" in a way that substantially misrepresented the sources (either deliberately or through failure to actually read what they said before citing them"
- I assume your "I am rather concerned" is in an admin capacity (but if not, please say).
- What did you mean by raising this option of deliberate misrepresentation? If you are not going to substantiate such a claim, is this not classic WP:ASPERSIONS casting? On a talk page that is already overwrought how is this helpful? Bon courage (talk) 06:13, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please discuss article content issues on the article's talk page. jp×g🗯️ 06:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- I am discussing your conduct, not article content. You are being very evasive. Bon courage (talk) 06:20, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, here's what I said at the article talk page thirty minutes ago:
As I have tried to explain, I am not attempting to "raise", "cast" or "lodge" anything. I don't know how to explain the meaning of the words "either" and "or" in greater detail. jp×g🗯️ 05:52, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Is there something you would like for me to clarify further? jp×g🗯️ 06:29, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- So you think that editors raising a bad faith assertion is okay so long as they put it as an either/or option? Saying somrthing like "Either you're a racist POV-pusher or you've simply misread the source" is okay then? Bon courage (talk) 06:36, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- You wrote a sentence in an article, cited it to a refgroup of twelve sources, and repeatedly defended its inclusion on the basis that it was "well backed by the sources". After I spent an afternoon reviewing each source in detail, and finding that most of them did not mention the statement at all (and the rest were opinion pieces or deprecated), you admitted that "the only purpose of the refgroup was to quell continued objections" and that you were "not particularly interested in (most of) those sources".
- What does it mean to "quell continued objections"? What's the good-faith interpretation of that? jp×g🗯️ 06:54, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Dunno, it's not 'my' refgroup, and I didn't 'admit' anything about it since I was unsure of the need for it. So far as I was concerned the lede was just summarizing the body (and the Gorski reference), as it should; good, solid, summary.
- But to be clear the editor you are framing for this supposed 'deliberate misrepresentation' is, so far as I can see, Shibbolethink, and not not me.[11] Although it is interesting you thought it was 'my' content before spending an afternoon pecking it apart, with some often dodgy reasoning and off-base interpretation of policy. Bon courage (talk) 07:38, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, if you are going to quote isolated words from my comments to create new sentences, I am not responsible for what those sentences say. Feel free to open a noticeboard thread about my conduct here if you believe that's necessary, or discuss the subject on the article's talk page. Otherwise, I am not interested in continuing this conversation, and would prefer you stop posting to my talk page about it. jp×g🗯️ 07:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- So you think that editors raising a bad faith assertion is okay so long as they put it as an either/or option? Saying somrthing like "Either you're a racist POV-pusher or you've simply misread the source" is okay then? Bon courage (talk) 06:36, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, here's what I said at the article talk page thirty minutes ago:
- I am discussing your conduct, not article content. You are being very evasive. Bon courage (talk) 06:20, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please discuss article content issues on the article's talk page. jp×g🗯️ 06:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

"Per talk"
Hello friend. First off, congrats on your recent successful RFA. I do have a request though. Can you please stop saying "per talk" for controversial edits over at COVID-19 lab leak theory? "Per talk", in my opinion, means that an issue has been discussed on a talk page with multiple editors, and a consensus has arisen supporting the change. I think what you really mean to say here is "see talk". Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:43, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Is there actually a distinction? Makes sense to me. I suppose in the scheme of things, a different three-letter word is a pretty easy change to make, so I will be happy in knowing my dumb little edit summaries benefit someone. jp×g🗯️ 09:59, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hahaha. Sounds good. Thank you :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 10:01, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Novem Linguae: Thank you. I've been saying that for years and nobody ever told me it was wrong until now! jp×g🗯️ 10:04, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Solar eclipse of November 22, 1900
On 9 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Solar eclipse of November 22, 1900, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a newspaper in Kentucky reported that the solar eclipse of November 22, 1900, would pass over Austria instead of Australia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Solar eclipse of November 22, 1900. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Solar eclipse of November 22, 1900), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Tech News: 2023-46
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
- Four new wikis have been created:
Problems
- Last week, users who previously visited Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Commons and then became logged out on those wikis could not log in again. The problem is now resolved. [16]
- Last week, some pop-up dialogs and menus were shown with the wrong font size. The problem is now resolved. [17]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar).
Future changes
- Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature. You can opt out of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment is planned for November 22, 2023.
- Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where
meta.domain == "canary"
. Updates to Pywikibot or wikimedia-streams will discard these events by default. [18]
