... for being the herald of happy news about 15 years on this project! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:03, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen, - I like today's especially because you see him at work, hear him talk about his work and the result of his work - rare! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:46, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:03, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Recently you mentioned 'See MOS:DOCTOR too' on User talk:VSankeerthSai1609 under where I had told them of not using 'Dr.' prefix before the name. However I think that MOS:DOCTOR doesn't make any sense here as the said mos is only for
pseudonym or stage name containing the title
I do not see this being the case the subject on 2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident, as the victim was not famous with the name 'Dr. xxxx' before the incident, rather they were not even notable. Regards, ExclusiveEditor Notify Me! 12:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- ExclusiveEditor, Yea, it was my point exactly. Neither MOS:MR nor MOS:DOCTOR allows the adding of the prefix since the victim is not widely known with that prefix. Hence. I added that additional guideline for them to be aware of. Thanks for dropping by. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 13:06, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Anwarhs (talk) 10:54, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-34
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. [1]
Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the categoriesproperty ofmw.title objects. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. [2][3]
Bugs status
- Your help is needed to check if any pages need to be moved or deleted. A maintenance script was run to clean up unreachable pages (due to Unicode issues or introduction of new namespaces/namespace aliases). The script tried to find appropriate names for the pages (e.g. by following the Unicode changes or by moving pages whose titles on Wikipedia start with
Talk:WP:so that their titles start withWikipedia talk:), but it may have failed for some pages, and moved them to Special:PrefixIndex/T195546/ instead. Your community should check if any pages are listed there, and move them to the correct titles, or delete them if they are no longer needed. A full log (including pages for which appropriate names could be found) is available in phab:P67388. - Editors who volunteer as mentors to newcomers on their wiki are once again able to access lists of potential mentees who they can connect with to offer help and guidance. This functionality was restored thanks to a bug fix. Thank you to Mbch331 for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 18 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- The application deadline for the Product & Technology Advisory Council (PTAC) has been extended to September 16. Members will help by providing advice to Foundation Product and Technology leadership on short and long term plans, on complex strategic problems, and help to get feedback from more contributors and technical communities. Selected members should expect to spend roughly 5 hours per month for the Council, during the one year pilot. Please consider applying, and spread the word to volunteers you think would make a positive contribution to the committee.

- The 2024 Coolest Tool Awards were awarded at Wikimania, in seven categories. For example, one award went to the ISA Tool, used for adding structured data to files on Commons, which was recently improved during the Wiki Mentor Africa Hackathon. You can see video demonstrations of each tool at the awards page. Congratulations to this year's recipients, and thank you to all tool creators and maintainers.
- The latest Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin is available, and includes some highlights from Wikimania, an upcoming Language community meeting, and other news from the movement.

Requesting some article expansion help
Greetings @The Herald
Hi, I am User:Bookku, On Wikipedia I engage in, finding information and knowledge gap areas in Wikipedia and promoting expansion of related drafts and articles. Came across your edit at New Delhi (Xtools).
Requesting you to visit stub-draft Draft:Rabindra Rangshala and help it's expansion and copy edit if the topic interests you. Bookku (talk) 12:27, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Bookku, hey, thanks for dropping by. The draft looks good, but definitely need more references and a little copyedit too. I'm kinda busy irl and not exactly very active in Wikipedia enough for expansion right now. Good luck to you, though. Happy editing. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:40, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-35
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Administrators can now test the temporary accounts feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
- Later this week, editors at wikis that use FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [4]
Bugs status
- Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will no longer experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
Please review and vote on Focus Areas, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.- Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? Outreachy is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

Kalki BO numbers updated using unreliable sources like TOI
Hi @The Herald,
In the highest grossing Indian films page, for the film Kalki, Times of India source has been used which is an unreliable source.
Also 1200 crore number is exaggerated as well as most reliable sources have reported as 1100 crores.
I am listing the reliable sources (latest) below. Please have a look at it.
Business Standard (1050 cr)- [5]
Deccan Chronicle (1100 cr) -[6]
Deccan Herald (1100cr) - [7]
Hindustan Times (1100 cr) - [8]
Mint (1041.65 cr) - [9]
Indian Express (1041.65cr) - [10]
The Statesman (1100cr) - [11]
So according to these reliable sources, the ideal range should be (1041.65 to 1100 crores). Can you please look into this and make changes to the highest grossing list and relevant pages.
Thanks. PRIYAMANI7 (talk) 11:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- PRIYAMANI7, already done by Anoopspeaks. Thanks.
