Hello Martijn... I'd never glanced at your userpage before today, when I did, it scared the crap outta me. :-) Nice flag! Anyhoo, I have a couple forest-fire notices for you.
I noticed your plan (above) to centralize discussion onto Talk:SORCER, and I mostly agree... but I would like to keep three parallel discussions open. First, at the top of Talk:SORCER, we need to continue to centralize the reference-analysis stuff, finding out which stuff is peer-reviewed, which stuff is independent, that sort of thing. Second, at the bottom of the same Talk:SORCER page, I'm planning on drafting the new content of mainspace, with help from Pawelpacewicz and Tim/Fiddler and anybody else that wishes to pitch in. Most likely, plenty of exertion-oriented-programming prose and references will get hashed out, in those parallel discussions.
However, that said, I'd still like to keep WT:Articles_for_creation/Exertion-oriented_programming around, because it gives us a central place for long-winded technical discussions. Mwsobol does not have a lot of time; I'm guessing the Prubach is the same. We've already likely lost Kazumo, and maybe Beavercreekful and 132, because of the low signal-to-noise-level on the Talk:SORCER page. (With luck it will just be a temporary loss.) Therefore, I'd like to keep the AfC draft around, as a quiet sort of "faculty lounge" for technical conversations. We may end up with just a 'single' article in mainspace, with Exertion-oriented programming as a redirect to the relevant subsection SORCER#exertions, but in the meanwhile, I suggest we not prematurely nix the AfC conversation, since it serves a useful community-oriented purpose, at the moment.
Speaking of nixing, are you okay with moving the current contents of Talk:SORCER into Talk:SORCER/Archive 1 manually, so we can have a clean slate? Hope this helps, thanks for improving wikipedia. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 19:42, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Please advise why the pages I create about Company keeps getting deleted. I want to create pages similar to Rane Madras /info/en/?search=Rane_(Madras)_Ltd and describe about other Group Companies. Please help . Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinkinside ( talk • contribs) 03:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Martijn,
The company page I posted about a year ago was deleted on 12/27/13. I would like to update the page and re-submit the page for creation. How should I best go about doing this?
Thank you, Sally

Greetings. I was planning on adding this to Talk:Gun control. However, I don't want to disrupt your current attempt to mediate the nightmare. Let me know when would be a good time to post it (I will accept a response along the lines of: "How about never, you lunatic." Comments are also welcome). Thanks for much needed guidance over there. — ArtifexMayhem ( talk) 20:10, 30 December 2013 (UTC) (Ps.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked mostly minor features and fixing bugs. A few significant bugs include working around a bug in CSSJanus that was wrongly flipping images used in some templates in right-to-left (RTL) environments ( bug 50910) a major bug that meant inserting any template or other transclusion failed ( bug 59002), a major but quickly resolved problem due to an unannounced change in MediaWiki core, which caused VisualEditor to crash on trying to save ( bug 59867). This last bugs did not appear on any Wikipedia. Additionally, significant work has been done in the background to make VisualEditor work as an independent editing system.
As of today, VisualEditor is now available as an opt-out feature to all users at 149 active Wikipedias.

and __FORCETOC__
as selection (forced on, forced off, or default setting; bugs
56866 and

as a checkbox (
bug 57166).Looking ahead: The character formatting menu on the toolbar will get a drop-down indicator next Thursday. The reference and media items will be the first two listed in the Insert menu. The help menu will get a page listing the keyboard shortcuts. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including support for alignment (left, right, and center) and better control over image size (including default and upright sizes). The developers are also working on support for editing redirects and image galleries.

Hi Martijn. I saw you salted José Rafael Cordero Sanchez. We have only had the pleasure of deleting his auto-bio 17 times here, water compared to the 35 deletions on Spanish Wikipedia. Within some 18 months. I'm keeping an eye on recreations, including spelling variations not yet utilized, here, you may want to consider if any other article titles should be salted, you know best. Notice that in his latest recreation on es.wik he moved the acute accent in Rafael, look: es:José Rafaél Cordero Sánchez. Best, Sam Sailor Sing 20:20, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
