Thanks for uploading File:AngleGrinderMan Symbol.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 ( talk) 04:15, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Auric,
I'm all for including non-canon stardates, but they should be labeled non-canon and placed in separate sections at the end of the article, not in the main sections which cover the core of stardates, the most important things a general audience should know about them. Also, I would include only those stardates which are interesting for some reason. I don't see anything interesting about stardate 6111.3 individually; what is interesting is that ADF used his own stardates in the Log novelizations, ignoring those from TAS episodes.

A tag has been placed on Johnny Sixarms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Killian441 ( talk) 22:08, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Please do not continue to upload files with missing or false information on their copyright status, as you did with Knowlesville, New Brunswick. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright and copyright infringement very seriously. Images and other media may only be uploaded and included if they meet the conditions stated in our image use policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. The information you added is correct, but it is a copyright violation when you copy and paste information from another web site which is not in the public domain. I did a rollback.

Dear Author/Auric
My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Nasal polyps. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk.

My edit on that page, as I recall, was removing a bunch of trivia-section stuff. I don't think I added anything to the page, let alone uncited material. Were you reverting on the basis of a disagreement with my removal of the content or was that just a quick auto-rollback? In the case of the latter I understand how quickly WP moves and how easy it is to not really closely look at what's going on with every single edit but in the case of the former I don't want to undo your revision if you actually meant to undo mine - if that's the case I think we ought to maybe go through the article's examples one by one and see if we can come to a compromise on which ones belong and which ones don't rather than just reverting each other every once in a while when we notice it's been changed. Zig Saw 03:23, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Auric, you cancelled (and called vandalism) three minor edits I had made to Campo de' Fiori, argueing that I had not filled in the Edit Summary box. Please beware that (1) In Wikipedia it is not mandatory to explain all edits. As you will notice, many in that very article are not explained. (I sure hope you do not intend to go and clear all Wikipedia changes with no Edit Summary!) (2) Specifically, I did not think it was necessary to explain, e.g., the change from field of flowers to field of the flowers, corresponding to a correct translation from Italian; unfortunately, you have now reverted to the wrong translation (offering no explanation, by the way. In fact, most likely, with no consideration whatsoever of content). Overall, you did not do Wikipedia a good service this time around. However we all make mistakes! I am sure you will find the time to remedy. You could start, e.g., with apologies for defining "vandalism" two innocent edits. Thanks. -- 87.28.141.207 ( talk) 16:55, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear Auric, I did not mean to offend you but since i am new to wikipedia i did not know how to respond to your allegation against me that i was the one being biased. So i saw the edit button located near that and so i responded. But, when i just saw the video on how to respond to a user's message, i am hence sending you this message in good faith. The fact of the matter is that i work in the same region as Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was from and hence, i know for a fact that the United States Government and the Pakistani Intelligence know full well that she is innocent of any terrorism related links and that she was not a source of any threat yet they lock her up so as to cover their own faults. The one thing i liked about wikipedia was its presumed unbiased-ness however after reading the article on Dr. Aafia i have realized that is not always the case. And, so i made an account and have become a wikipedia user just like you. But, what seperates you and me is the fact that you believe anything that the media claims without actually having talked to the ones whose opinions are the most honest with regards to her. You see, Dr. Aafia is a mother of three and she was KIDNAPPED along with her children, one of whom was only 6 months old, in 2003 and that is well known in Pakistan and to the Pakistani Intelligence and the US Army. She was assaulted, physically abused (which is a terrible thing to do to a lady and that too an MIT graduate who did NOT terrorize anyone or cause harm to even a butterfly) and atleast one her children, who is only 6 months old was brutally killed! And, now she is serving in jail?? For 86 years?? Even though the members of the jury knew she was innocent but had to call her a threat since most of the world's media was closely following the case and so had the ruled in favor of her their 7 years of illegal and wrongful detention of her would be clear to everyone and so the white house pressurized for the decision against her! Tell me, you are from canada, if this was the allegation made to a canadian mother of three and a PhD holder in neuroscience who was kidnapped along with her children and then SHE is the one sent to jail over CLEARLY false allegations (and that too false allegations of self defense) wouldnt the entire population of Canada rise up in favour of the lady??? And, that is precisely what happened in pakistan, parts of USA and many other countries who then protested against this obvious injustice done to her and her family. So please, dont confuse everyone and dont take the side of falsehood, by saying she is a terrorist when infact she cannot even hurt a fly! She did not kill anyone or even attempt to kill anyone, but SHE was the one who was raped and kidnapped. Let the article be unbiased and LET IT STICK TO THE TRUTH.

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Peter Proctor, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Peter Proctor, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.
For the Mediation Committee,

Hi Auric, I saw that you removed my dubious tag and left in the content claiming that Connors had been an indentured labourer. I have removed this claim. Indentured servitude has been basically unknown in Canada since the early 19th century and is illegal. A form of it may still be practised by human smugglers, but it's not recognized by law, except as a crime. Do you have any references to support this incendiary and dubious claim?

Hey Auric; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so.

I didn't notice the change from coins to discs, sorry. Not sure how to handle this as they indeed might not have been coins. I'm trying to get a couple of other sources for this. Plus the article needs to point out that coins didn't exist at this time. What I can't find is a source for the vase in the 100 year old tree roots - besides the source you found. There must be an original source for this or discussion somewhere else - if there isn't I don't really think it should be in the article - one-off claims not discussed elsewhere aren't really encyclopedic - probably not even if the person is more of an expert than this author.

Hello,
In response to your concern about my intentions for the article in question, my primary purpose for editing the page was to add citations that did not exist, include libraries that were not previously there, and to include information which was lacking. I do not quite understand what you mean by "blanking" the article as I removed one sentence from the Library of Alexandria entry. I also rearranged the contents so they are in alphabetical order. I also placed the libraries under their proper regions such as the Library of Alexandria which may be a Hellenistic library, but its location is in Egypt and not Greece. Likewise, the library of Ephesus is located in Anatolia and not Greece. I do not intend to do a complete overall because this is just a list where the links will take you to separate articles with more exhaustive coverage of the topic. Basically i am leaving everything the same except to include additional information and citations. Williamth ( talk) 21:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you have recently added the user Princeabdi ( talk · contribs) as a connected contributor on the article Prince Abdi. This article has been subject to a repeat pattern of vandalism by an SPA account and IP addresses for the past 2 months. One of these edits was changing the subject's years active from 2006–present to 2008–present, which this user has also made. This edit clearly contradicts sources on the article that state that the subject has been active since 2006, and also sources, which state that the subject has won awards in 2007.
I am inclined to think that the person using this account maybe the same person who has been continually adding misinformation on the article, and is now possibly attempting to pass themselves off as the subject by creating a sock-puppet of the SPA account and IP addresses responsible for the previous vandalism.

Hi Auric, you have been a great help and example to me since I became an editor and I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. I have a user conduct issue with one user 'Unbiased&fair' that I haven't been able to resolve. I have tried Article talk page discussion, User talk page discussion, detailed edit summaries on the page in question, and I constantly receive allegations of "vandalism." Most recently I warned the user for a personal attack and they just copied it and pasted it back on my Talk page. I have gone out of my way to be helpful and have tried ignoring the user but they refuse to assume good faith and personal attacks continue. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks. FlatOut 12:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
I understand your misunderstanding on my marking it vandalism. The first edit in the series of edits, that I reverted to WAS vandalism (it even included profanity.) There were a series of good faith edits after that attempting to fix the problem by simply making it non-offensive. However, that information is not relevant to the 2013 season information, but instead goes on the biography page of the player in question. If the team had released a press statement about it, that would go on the team page, but otherwise it would go on the talk page. However, I do not feel this is worth an edit war over, so I am leaving the next move up to you. If you want we can discuss it further before coming to a resolution. I have already created a subject on the talk page about it. Thank You for understanding. -- Robert Wm "Ruedii" ( talk) 09:14, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey Auric
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

About reverting to the previous edit before mine: The information about Uranium is misleading, and is itself unsourced. I had simply removed it. Uranium emits alpha radiation that cannot get through skin, so unless you eat it there should be no issue, and the fiction-based Kryptonite article can't really get into specifics, so I wanted to remove the impression that Uranium radiation was harmful. Uranium is, however, chemically toxic like lead. See /info/en/?search=Uranium#Human_exposure

It's been almost two weeks since the last newsletter, and a lot of improvements have been made during that time. The main things that people have noticed are significant improvements to speed for typing into long pages ( T54012), scrolling ( T54014) and deleting ( T54013) on large pages. There have also been improvements to references, with the latest being support for list-defined references, which are <ref>s defined inside a <references> block ( T53741). Users of Opera 12 and higher have had their web browser removed from the browser black-list, mostly as a result of work by a volunteer developer ( T38000). Opera has not been fully white-listed yet, so these users will get an additional warning and request to report problems.
Significant changes were made to the user interface to de-emphasize VisualEditor. This has cut the use of VisualEditor by approximately one-third. You can read about these at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Updates/August 1, 2013, but they include:
There have also been many smaller fixes, including these:
Most of the Wikimedia Foundation staff is traveling this week and next, so no updates are expected until at least August 15th. If you're going to be in Hong Kong for Wikimania 2013, say hello to James Forrester, Philippe Beaudette, and the other members of the VisualEditor team.

Hi Auric,
I'm all for including non-canon stardates, but they should be labeled non-canon and placed in separate sections at the end of the article, not in the main sections which cover the core of stardates, the most important things a general audience should know about them. Also, I would include only those stardates which are interesting for some reason. I don't see anything interesting about stardate 6111.3 individually; what is interesting is that ADF used his own stardates in the Log novelizations, ignoring those from TAS episodes.

A tag has been placed on Johnny Sixarms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Killian441 ( talk) 22:08, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Author/Auric
My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Nasal polyps. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk.

My edit on that page, as I recall, was removing a bunch of trivia-section stuff. I don't think I added anything to the page, let alone uncited material. Were you reverting on the basis of a disagreement with my removal of the content or was that just a quick auto-rollback? In the case of the latter I understand how quickly WP moves and how easy it is to not really closely look at what's going on with every single edit but in the case of the former I don't want to undo your revision if you actually meant to undo mine - if that's the case I think we ought to maybe go through the article's examples one by one and see if we can come to a compromise on which ones belong and which ones don't rather than just reverting each other every once in a while when we notice it's been changed.

Dear Auric, you cancelled (and called vandalism) three minor edits I had made to Campo de' Fiori, argueing that I had not filled in the Edit Summary box. Please beware that (1) In Wikipedia it is not mandatory to explain all edits. As you will notice, many in that very article are not explained. (I sure hope you do not intend to go and clear all Wikipedia changes with no Edit Summary!) (2) Specifically, I did not think it was necessary to explain, e.g., the change from field of flowers to field of the flowers, corresponding to a correct translation from Italian; unfortunately, you have now reverted to the wrong translation (offering no explanation, by the way. In fact, most likely, with no consideration whatsoever of content). Overall, you did not do Wikipedia a good service this time around. However we all make mistakes! I am sure you will find the time to remedy. You could start, e.g., with apologies for defining "vandalism" two innocent edits. Thanks. -- 87.28.141.207 ( talk) 16:55, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear Auric, I did not mean to offend you but since i am new to wikipedia i did not know how to respond to your allegation against me that i was the one being biased. So i saw the edit button located near that and so i responded. But, when i just saw the video on how to respond to a user's message, i am hence sending you this message in good faith. The fact of the matter is that i work in the same region as Dr. Aafia Siddiqui was from and hence, i know for a fact that the United States Government and the Pakistani Intelligence know full well that she is innocent of any terrorism related links and that she was not a source of any threat yet they lock her up so as to cover their own faults. The one thing i liked about wikipedia was its presumed unbiased-ness however after reading the article on Dr. Aafia i have realized that is not always the case. And, so i made an account and have become a wikipedia user just like you. But, what seperates you and me is the fact that you believe anything that the media claims without actually having talked to the ones whose opinions are the most honest with regards to her. You see, Dr. Aafia is a mother of three and she was KIDNAPPED along with her children, one of whom was only 6 months old, in 2003 and that is well known in Pakistan and to the Pakistani Intelligence and the US Army. She was assaulted, physically abused (which is a terrible thing to do to a lady and that too an MIT graduate who did NOT terrorize anyone or cause harm to even a butterfly) and atleast one her children, who is only 6 months old was brutally killed! And, now she is serving in jail?? For 86 years?? Even though the members of the jury knew she was innocent but had to call her a threat since most of the world's media was closely following the case and so had the ruled in favor of her their 7 years of illegal and wrongful detention of her would be clear to everyone and so the white house pressurized for the decision against her! Tell me, you are from canada, if this was the allegation made to a canadian mother of three and a PhD holder in neuroscience who was kidnapped along with her children and then SHE is the one sent to jail over CLEARLY false allegations (and that too false allegations of self defense) wouldnt the entire population of Canada rise up in favour of the lady??? And, that is precisely what happened in pakistan, parts of USA and many other countries who then protested against this obvious injustice done to her and her family. So please, dont confuse everyone and dont take the side of falsehood, by saying she is a terrorist when infact she cannot even hurt a fly! She did not kill anyone or even attempt to kill anyone, but SHE was the one who was raped and kidnapped. Let the article be unbiased and LET IT STICK TO THE TRUTH.

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Peter Proctor, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Peter Proctor, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

Hi Auric, I saw that you removed my dubious tag and left in the content claiming that Connors had been an indentured labourer. I have removed this claim. Indentured servitude has been basically unknown in Canada since the early 19th century and is illegal.

I didn't notice the change from coins to discs, sorry. Not sure how to handle this as they indeed might not have been coins. I'm trying to get a couple of other sources for this. Plus the article needs to point out that coins didn't exist at this time. What I can't find is a source for the vase in the 100 year old tree roots - besides the source you found.

Hello,
In response to your concern about my intentions for the article in question, my primary purpose for editing the page was to add citations that did not exist, include libraries that were not previously there, and to include information which was lacking. I do not quite understand what you mean by "blanking" the article as I removed one sentence from the Library of Alexandria entry. I also rearranged the contents so they are in alphabetical order. I also placed the libraries under their proper regions such as the Library of Alexandria which may be a Hellenistic library, but its location is in Egypt and not Greece. Likewise, the library of Ephesus is located in Anatolia and not Greece. I do not intend to do a complete overall because this is just a list where the links will take you to separate articles with more exhaustive coverage of the topic. Basically i am leaving everything the same except to include additional information and citations. Williamth ( talk) 21:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you have recently added the user Princeabdi ( talk · contribs) as a connected contributor on the article Prince Abdi. This article has been subject to a repeat pattern of vandalism by an SPA account and IP addresses for the past 2 months. One of these edits was changing the subject's years active from 2006–present to 2008–present, which this user has also made. This edit clearly contradicts sources on the article that state that the subject has been active since 2006, and also sources, which state that the subject has won awards in 2007.
I am inclined to think that the person using this account maybe the same person who has been continually adding misinformation on the article, and is now possibly attempting to pass themselves off as the subject by creating a sock-puppet of the SPA account and IP addresses responsible for the previous vandalism.

Hi Auric, you have been a great help and example to me since I became an editor and I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. I have a user conduct issue with one user 'Unbiased&fair' that I haven't been able to resolve. I have tried Article talk page discussion, User talk page discussion, detailed edit summaries on the page in question, and I constantly receive allegations of "vandalism." Most recently I warned the user for a personal attack and they just copied it and pasted it back on my Talk page. I have gone out of my way to be helpful and have tried ignoring the user but they refuse to assume good faith and personal attacks continue. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks. FlatOut 12:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
I understand your misunderstanding on my marking it vandalism. The first edit in the series of edits, that I reverted to WAS vandalism (it even included profanity.) There were a series of good faith edits after that attempting to fix the problem by simply making it non-offensive. However, that information is not relevant to the 2013 season information, but instead goes on the biography page of the player in question. If the team had released a press statement about it, that would go on the team page, but otherwise it would go on the talk page. However, I do not feel this is worth an edit war over, so I am leaving the next move up to you. If you want we can discuss it further before coming to a resolution. I have already created a subject on the talk page about it. Thank You for understanding. -- Robert Wm "Ruedii" ( talk) 09:14, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey Auric
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

About reverting to the previous edit before mine: The information about Uranium is misleading, and is itself unsourced. I had simply removed it. Uranium emits alpha radiation that cannot get through skin, so unless you eat it there should be no issue, and the fiction-based Kryptonite article can't really get into specifics, so I wanted to remove the impression that Uranium radiation was harmful. Uranium is, however, chemically toxic like lead. See /info/en/?search=Uranium#Human_exposure

It's been almost two weeks since the last newsletter, and a lot of improvements have been made during that time. The main things that people have noticed are significant improvements to speed for typing into long pages ( T54012), scrolling ( T54014) and deleting ( T54013) on large pages. There have also been improvements to references, with the latest being support for list-defined references, which are <ref>s defined inside a <references> block ( T53741). Users of Opera 12 and higher have had their web browser removed from the browser black-list, mostly as a result of work by a volunteer developer ( T38000). Opera has not been fully white-listed yet, so these users will get an additional warning and request to report problems.
Significant changes were made to the user interface to de-emphasize VisualEditor. This has cut the use of VisualEditor by approximately one-third. You can read about these at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Updates/August 1, 2013, but they include:
There have also been many smaller fixes, including these:
Most of the Wikimedia Foundation staff is traveling this week and next, so no updates are expected until at least August 15th. If you're going to be in Hong Kong for Wikimania 2013, say hello to James Forrester, Philippe Beaudette, and the other members of the VisualEditor team.
