CQ page
Hello Kusma, how can I talk to you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by K9787 (talk • contribs) 07:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @K9787: By posting on my talk page, so you have found out how. —Kusma (t·c) 09:32, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Ok perfect! I would like to know why the page I created got deleted? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by K9787 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- @K9787: It was similar to the page deleted in 2015 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claudio Quartarone (2nd nomination) (but that page was more extensive). Essentially, the reason for deletion was the lack of independent reliable sources or other indications that the person meets WP:MUSICBIO. —Kusma (t·c) 21:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
You are right, I tried to elaborate more on the subject (article) and also tried to put in it reliable sources like the Stanford University list of italian musicians in witch CQ is included and links to All Music and major italian label RAI. For the record, I saw articles in Wikipedia with less sources than mine regarding italian musicians, could you suggest other ways to meet Wikipedia standards? Unfortunately I'm relatively new to this. Thank you so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by K9787 (talk • contribs) 09:53, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- @K9787: There may be many other articles on Wikipedia not meeting Wikipedia's standards, compare WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The "reliable sources" in the article were very weak; the Stanford one is part of a personal page of a Stanford PhD student, and so not a reliable source (also, it is only a trivial mention in a list, and couldn't possible be used to support anything other than "CQ is an Italian jazz musician"). If there are no better sources for the article at the moment, the person probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia until that changes. Sorry I can't be of more help. —Kusma (t·c) 12:08, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello! Thank you for your answer! Even if what you saing is true, i made a page about one of the most recognized italian guitarist (I'm italian so i know what i'm talking about) I'm sure you can find the right sources on the internet if not now, in the future! Thank you again for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by K9787 (talk • contribs) 08:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject Portals
The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.
You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.
There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.
Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.
It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.
The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.
A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.
We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.
Let's do this.
See ya at the WikiProject!

Thank you very much
The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.
By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.
Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.
If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.
Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 09:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – August 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018).
Administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
- Following a request for comment, the WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.
Technical news
- The WMF Anti-Harassment Tools team is seeking input on the second set of wireframes for the Special:Block redesign that will introduce partial blocks. The new functionality will allow you to block a user from editing a specific set of pages, pages in a category, a namespace, and for specific actions such as moving pages and uploading files.

Optimist on the run → Voice of Clam
Interface administrator changes
- Amorymeltzer • Mr. Stradivarius • MusikAnimal • MSGJ • TheDJ • Xaosflux
Guideline and policy news
- Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.
Technical news
- Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour.
- Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says
Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example isarticle_textwhich is nowpage_title. - Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is
page_age.
Arbitration
- The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of Checkuser and Oversight appointments. The usernames of all applicants will be shared with the Functionaries team, and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

Please explain the copyright issue with the IMDb listing. If it was the summaries then those could have been removed rather than deleting the whole article. Editors have put a lot of work into the credit and rating details on that page. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 01:37, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- The summaries were there from the first revision, so the only way to fix the copyright violation in the history was to delete the entire history. —Kusma (t·c) 05:40, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
- The way to fix it was to simply delete the summaries from the template. So can you restore this page and I'll take the summaries out. As the page contained other details and the info boxes currently are not linking series 1-3, as well as a now orphaned image is hanging. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 21:38, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- All of the page revisions contained the copyright violation. From a software point of view I can't remove the copyvio without then claiming the resulting page was written by me. The safe option is to rebuild the page from scratch without copying from elsewhere. —Kusma (t·c) 05:10, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Huh????? I said I would remove the summaries, as I have no idea what the missing credit and dvd info was. Just restore the page and I'll fix it!!!!! There wasn't enough time for anyone to do that given the deletion notice was only posted to the page creators user talk page. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 14:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Hello,
I wanted to share a follow-up to an RfC you participated in from late 2016/early 2017. It was regarding making certain warning templates visible on mobile. The Readers web team has been working to improve how these templates appear on the mobile website. I shared an announcement with communities today that covers what is happening. If you have any interest, I encourage your support in giving feedback on the project page or helping update templates of this nature with some of our recommendations.
Thank you, CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 20:32, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
ArbCom 2018 election voter message
Hello, Kusma. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December.

Interface administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following a request for comment, the Mediation Committee is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
- A request for comment is in progress to determine whether members of the Bot Approvals Group should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
- A request for comment is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
- A proposal has been made to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to interface administrators in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.
Technical news
- Administrators and bureaucrats can no longer unblock themselves unless they placed the block initially. This change has been implemented globally. See also this ongoing village pump discussion (permalink).
- To complement the aforementioned change, blocked administrators will soon have the ability to block the administrator that placed their block to mitigate the possibility of a compromised administrator account blocking all other active administrators.
- Since deployment of Partial blocks on Test Wikipedia, several bugs were identified. Most of them are now fixed. Administrators are encouraged to test the new deployment and report new bugs on Phabricator or leave feedback on the Project's talk page. You can request administrator access on the Test Wiki here.
Arbitration
- Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 3 December 2018. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.
Miscellaneous
- In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on a website that suffered a data breach. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
- Wikipedia policy requires administrators to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.
Obituaries
- Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (Raymond Arritt) passed away on 14 November 2018. Boris joined Wikipedia as Raymond arritt on 8 May 2006 and was an administrator from 30 July 2007 to 2 June 2008.
