Thank you so much GAB.RHcosm (talk) 23:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi RHcosm. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! GABgab 15:45, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you so much GAB--RHcosm (talk) 16:10, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

See Official website --RHcosm (talk) 06:35, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
I visited it, then what? What part of my edit nonconstructive? Well, I'm not a native English speaker I may be wrong. In the copy of legal statement above, is it wrong to conclude that the main/parent/legal company is BC Partners LLP? 116.206.29.66 (talk) 06:40, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
As per official website BC partners is the official name. If you don't agree you can start discussion at Talk:BC Partners. Thanks --RHcosm (talk) 06:49, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
No, I'm sorry, but I want to discuss it here because you are the one who disagrees with me. Where in the website is it stated that BC Partners is the official name of BC Partners? I'm not native, so I may be wrong at providing argument or reading your argument or reading the website information. So I'll list what my arguments are:
1. BC Partners is a company (or in the article it is stated as private equity firm but it still uses Infobox company).
2. Infobox company documentation states that name parameter is "The full, legal name of the company, correctly reproducing punctuation and abbreviations or lack thereof." If you don't believe me visit here.
3. BC Partners has a website http://www.bcpartners.com/ and a disclaimer page http://www.bcpartners.com/site-services/disclaimer?sc_lang=en
4. In the disclaimer page, I will copy part of it for you:

5. If you argue BC Partners LLP is not the legal name, why? Do they lie in their disclaimer? Or I'm really bad at English?

Oshwah please have a look here. Thanks --RHcosm (talk) 07:21, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
What's up? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Oshwah one IP user was not convinced with the name of BC Partners so I needed your help. But now it seems settled. Thank you so much for your response. You are one of the best administrators who is always ready to help. Thanks. --RHcosm (talk) 01:03, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
No, no. The anon was me. It is not settled yet. I waited for Oshwah to reply so I didn't do anything. I know it is dispute between two users so I waited for third party to give some opinions. I'm sorry again. But what is your argument to counter me? I waited for you to counter me or hear some opinions from third party not to "seems settled" me. Thanks. MRFazry (talk) 02:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
It seems you a little bit belittle anon users. So I think I have to sign in. I, as anon user, for some times edited some name of companies but the edits were rarely reverted. After finding out my edit on BC Partners was reverted I had to contact you. I've provide my arguments above. If you don't provide yours, I'll stand my ground and add the name parameter of Infobox company of BC Partners as BC Partners LLP. MRFazry (talk) 02:57, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
MRFazry - We treat anon users and people with accounts the same. What exactly is the dispute over? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
Oshwah, I, as anon, edited name parameter of Infobox company of BC Partners from only 'BC Partners' to 'BC Partners LLP' to reflect legal name per their disclaimer on their website. But RHcosm reverted it. When I asked why, RHcosm only stated that the official name is BC Partners per their website without proof. I then copied part of disclaimer statements which mentions BC Partners LLP and asked RHcosm's arguments over this. Then RHcosm mentioned you. When you replied here what's this about, RHcosm said "it seems settled" without discussion. Then I signed in. Right now RHcosm already "allowed" me to edit BC Partners. MRFazry (talk) 01:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
MRFazry - It looks like RHcosm has responded below and has given you the "all-clear" to revert the edit he made that undid your changes to the article. It seems like he took another look and gave you the benefit of the doubt, as any editor should do - he's doing the right thing for you. I would follow-up your changes to the article by locating reliable sources to support you modifications and cite them in-line with the text you changed so that verifiability can be checked and reviewed. Do this, and you'll be just fine :-). Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns and I'll be happy to help you further. As RHcosm gave you the benefit of the doubt for your edit to the article, make sure to do the same for his revert of your edit to the article. He thought it wasn't constructive, and nobody is 100% perfect at doing so correctly; give him an easy time and be nice to him. ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
MRFazry I am not experienced as you. I reverted your edit because I felt it unconstructive. You can revert my edit if I'm wrong. I respect IP users if they make constructive contributions. All users are equally important for Wikipedia whether they have account or not if they contribute positively. Thanks. --RHcosm (talk) 07:47, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
In Wikipedia, if you feel an edit from anon nonconstructive, you can search some sources by yourself. If you have no proof but really feel it's vandal or anything bad, you may revert it back. But, if the anon provide some proofs, you have to provide counter-proof. In this case, you didn't prove your argument that "per their website BC Partners is the official name" because I didn't find that website states that explicitly or implicitly. I may be wrong but as of now I didn't find them instead BC Partners LLP is mentioned in their disclaimer. But if you or any other users later proved that BC Partners LLP is not the legal name, then I have to acknowledge it. MRFazry (talk) 01:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
I mean edit that "seems true" but you feel nonconstructive. If the edit is blanking the page, or adding some random characters, of course it should be reverted immediately. MRFazry (talk) 02:05, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you removed my edit on the above article with the summary "unsourced." It would have been more helpful if you tagged it as "citation required" rather than remove it. Also, if you really wanted to contribute positively, you could have searched for a reference - as the event is current, you would have found several references. Please note that not everyone has a load of free time to follow all WP procedures and any contribution should be welcomed as long as it is not malafide or vandalism. Hoping that you will fix the edit more appropriately... --Gurubrahma (talk) 06:44, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Oops, my bad. Just noticed that my edit was undone by another user. Apologies. --Gurubrahma (talk) 06:46, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Problems

  • Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [3]

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello RHcosm, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal
Project updates
  • ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
  • There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

Wikidata imaged

Around 2.7 million Wikidata items have an illustrative image. These files, you might say, are Wikimedia's stock images, and if the number is large, it is still only 5% or so of items that have one. All such images are taken from Wikimedia Commons, which has 50 million media files. One key issue is how to expand the stock.

Indeed, there is a tool. WD-FIST exploits the fact that each Wikipedia is differently illustrated, mostly with images from Commons but also with fair use images. An item that has sitelinks but no illustrative image can be tested to see if the linked wikis have a suitable one. This works well for a volunteer who wants to add images at a reasonable scale, and a small amount of SPARQL knowledge goes a long way in producing checklists.

Gran Teatro, Cáceres, Spain, at night

It should be noted, though, that there are currently 53 Wikidata properties that link to Commons, of which P18 for the basic image is just one. WD-FIST prompts the user to add signatures, plaques, pictures of graves and so on. There are a couple of hundred monograms, mostly of historical figures, and this query allows you to view all of them. commons:Category:Monograms and its subcategories provide rich scope for adding more.

And so it is generally. The list of properties linking to Commons does contain a few that concern video and audio files, and rather more for maps. But it contains gems such as P3451 for "nighttime view". Over 1000 of those on Wikidata, but as for so much else, there could be yet more.

Go on. Today is Wikidata's birthday. An illustrative image is always an acceptable gift, so why not add one? You can follow these easy steps: (i) log in at https://tools.wmflabs.org/widar/, (ii) paste the Petscan ID 6263583 into https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ and click run, and (iii) just add cake.

I am establishing a page for a fellow called Omar Juweinat. I noticed that you made some revisions and I just wanted to ask you a question because I, frankly am an amateur in this feild. I’ve tried to upload as many references that I can find on him and his work. What else do I need to do in order to get a successful upload? Thanks for your time — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.180.166.55 (talk) 12:00, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Catie Munnings page

Latest comment: 5 years ago13 comments4 people in discussion

Hi - I’m Catie's mother. Someone has altered Catie's page to say she’s a television presenter. Now when you google her name it says Catie Munnings British television presenter instead of Catie Munnings British rally driver. I have tried to contact the users who changed the information with no luck. This is affecting her career as she is a rally driver and not a television presenter so it’s important that it is changed back immediately please. Catie has her own tv show on CBeebies but she is not a television presenter!!

Please can you remove it from the title? If you google her name a photo of her comes up with her name and british television presenter - when you click on it it takes you through to your Wikipedia page so it’s something that one of your users has done and I would be grateful if you could amend it immediately.

Thank you Tracey Munnings

Changed it.--RHcosm (talk) 09:05, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi - so the google search is now saying tv show host. Please change it back to its original ...... Catie Munnings British rally driver. Thank you Tracey Munnings — Preceding unsigned comment added by RallyMum1 (talk • contribs) 08:58, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Google search results can not be changed by us. Perhaps it may take time.--RHcosm (talk) 09:05, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi - before you changed it it said british televisin presenter. You then changed it when I asked and it now says tv show host!! This is worse that British television presenter - she sounds like a talk show host now!! Please can you change it to British rally driver. You clearly have the skill to do it as it’s changing when you make the changes. Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you Tracey Munnings — Preceding unsigned comment added by RallyMum1 (talk • contribs) 09:41, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with this .... it’s changed again since you’ve amended it and I just can’t understand why it’s not picking up British Rally Driver as that’s what the page is about!

So frustrating that she’s had a complete career change that’s incorrect!

Many thanks Tracey RallyMum1 (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

The Rambling Man sir please read this section. Thanks --RHcosm (talk) 00:17, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
I'm just using reliable sources. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:14, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

To Rambling Man - Catie is in the middle of securing sponsorship for her 2019 season - the incorrect title she’s been given every time her page is edited having a detrimental effect. RHcosm has been helping me try to fix the issue. She’s a British Rally Driver not a tv presenter and needs to be portrayed as a Rally Driver. Thank you Tracey Munnings RallyMum1 (talk) 08:42, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

The Rambling Man you are the one who can help her. See RallyMum1's comment. --RHcosm (talk) 10:33, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

There are too many threads on this, I’ve already responded on my own talk page. Nothing to do here. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:45, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

...except to point out that RHcosm's edits to the Catie Munnings page was, on at least one occasion, a clear misuse of rollback. Be mindful; rollback is only to be used in cases of blatant vandalism, which those were not. This is something you agreed to when you received the tool. Happy editing! ——SerialNumber54129 08:03, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Serial Number 54129 Thanks for reminding. I used it to revert self edit. Thanks --RHcosm (talk) 09:42, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
