Thank you, very much, for your prompt response to my Username-change request. I see that you do plenty of work, to keep Wikipedia healthy and strong. And that work is of a technical and specialized nature which is far beyond my own abilities, at least as much as it is far beyond the ken of most users of this greatest-of-all websites. I know your job is thankless—thus, against that thanklessness, here I strike! All the best, to you and yours. Analogdrift ( talk) 07:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello K6ka, sorry for not giving a verified link. This information just came out some days ago, and the actress, Mercy Johnson, also confirmed this on her twitter handle and Instagram page. I have edited it and given it the rightful citing.
Thanks for the correction and the gentle manners in which you pointed out my mistakes. Together, we'll keep Wikipedia updated. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dailyschoolnews ( talk • contribs) 03:33, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Sorry I was generally just upset. I have friends who are South Korean and had recently heard from them that a member of their family in NK had been imprisoned in one of the North's notorious prison camps for refusing to have their hair cut the same as the 'supreme fat idiot'. I was just annoyed as it had upset my friend and was just out to put something stupid\nasty on the 'supreme fat idiot' wiki article. It definitely wasn't constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.249.99 ( talk) 18:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

So some lazy random editor (with an obvious bias against sidemen musicians) along with someone equally as lazy agreeing with him are all that is required to remove a Wikipedia article? This article was well documented, included plenty of easily found evidence of relevancy and a CLEAR trail of articles and sites like the ones listed below for anyone willing to take more than a cursory glance.

Edits to articles must not be signed, as signatures on Wikipedia are not intended to indicate ownership or authorship of any article. Rather, the page history takes care of the need to identify edits with users.So don't worry about your work going uncredited; it is automatically done for you.
You seem to have reverted my action and restored content subjected to non-existing reference source in the Wine article, together with the non-existing source, leaving it in incomplete state. The content itself is absurd, as all research projects of pased decades aimed to establish oringins of winegrape cultivation failed to narrow it down to such exteemly tiny geographic area. If such highly doubtfull content is added to the article, it should be based on solid reference sources. I highly suggest it to be removed. -- Hayordi ( talk) 12:42, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.
The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias next week, and eventually at the English Wikipedia.
The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.
VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.
The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar's menus are now shown in the menus. VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience / Design group. The appearance of dialogs has already changed in one Mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.)
Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search program could not find the page. A link inside a template, to a local page that does not exist, will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to a error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [37] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.
The tool for quickly editing TemplateData will be deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool is already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common response for that parameter. The autovalue can be easily overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.
In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead.
Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in tables will appear next Wednesday. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be possible later. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus will be hidden behind a "More" item, such as "underlining" in the styling menu. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.
The user guide will be updated soon to add information about editing tables. The translations for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.
You can influence VisualEditor's design. Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.

Thank you, very much, for your prompt response to my Username-change request. I see that you do plenty of work, to keep Wikipedia healthy and strong. And that work is of a technical and specialized nature which is far beyond my own abilities, at least as much as it is far beyond the ken of most users of this greatest-of-all websites. I know your job is thankless—thus, against that thanklessness, here I strike! All the best, to you and yours. Analogdrift ( talk) 07:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi K6ka, I responded to Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#Diffeo_demo_.E2.86.92_Diffeo Diffeo demo ( talk) 00:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello K6ka, sorry for not giving a verified link. This information just came out some days ago, and the actress, Mercy Johnson, also confirmed this on her twitter handle and Instagram page. I have edited it and given it the rightful citing.
Thanks for the correction and the gentle manners in which you pointed out my mistakes. Together, we'll keep Wikipedia updated. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dailyschoolnews ( talk • contribs) 03:33, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Sorry I was generally just upset. I have friends who are South Korean and had recently heard from them that a member of their family in NK had been imprisoned in one of the North's notorious prison camps for refusing to have their hair cut the same as the 'supreme fat idiot'. I was just annoyed as it had upset my friend and was just out to put something stupid\nasty on the 'supreme fat idiot' wiki article. It definitely wasn't constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.249.99 ( talk) 18:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

So some lazy random editor (with an obvious bias against sidemen musicians) along with someone equally as lazy agreeing with him are all that is required to remove a Wikipedia article? This article was well documented, included plenty of easily found evidence of relevancy and a CLEAR trail of articles and sites like the ones listed below for anyone willing to take more than a cursory glance.

Edits to articles must not be signed, as signatures on Wikipedia are not intended to indicate ownership or authorship of any article. Rather, the page history takes care of the need to identify edits with users.So don't worry about your work going uncredited; it is automatically done for you.
You seem to have reverted my action and restored content subjected to non-existing reference source in the Wine article, together with the non-existing source, leaving it in incomplete state. The content itself is absurd, as all research projects of pased decades aimed to establish oringins of winegrape cultivation failed to narrow it down to such exteemly tiny geographic area. If such highly doubtfull content is added to the article, it should be based on solid reference sources. I highly suggest it to be removed. -- Hayordi ( talk) 12:42, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.
The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias next week, and eventually at the English Wikipedia.
The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.
VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.
The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar's menus are now shown in the menus. VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience / Design group. The appearance of dialogs has already changed in one Mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.)
Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search program could not find the page. A link inside a template, to a local page that does not exist, will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to a error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [37] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.
The tool for quickly editing TemplateData will be deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool is already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common response for that parameter. The autovalue can be easily overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.
In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead.
Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in tables will appear next Wednesday. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be possible later. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus will be hidden behind a "More" item, such as "underlining" in the styling menu. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.
The user guide will be updated soon to add information about editing tables. The translations for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.
You can influence VisualEditor's design. Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.
