Are you the Captain Raju?

I had not known until today there was an actual person in the world named Captain Raju. You should make a note on your user page to clarify whether or not you are this real person. (Actually, if you are not this real person, that's a real problem. See WP:IMPERSONATE.) WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 18:16, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

It's actually not obvious. Captain Raju the actor apparently uses that moniker because he also served in the military. Per WP:IMPERSONATE, if your name happens to match that of a famous person, you should place a disclaimer on your user page stating that you are not that famous person. WikiDan61 ChatMe!

Mineko Iwasaki

Hello Captain Raju,

I really need some advice, I want to translate the article about Mineko Iwasaki. ( /info/en/?search=Mineko_Iwasaki ) I saw that article is not translated into my native language (Romanian) and I do not know how to do this on wiki. I do not want my translation in Romanian language to be seen when someone accesses the page in English.

I want to see it that way only those who want to read article in Romanian.

Can you help me? How can I translate this article.

Thank you. Best regrets Magda Cioclov — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magda.cioclov ( talkcontribs) 20:05, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Reverting my edit on Oath of office

Brother Razu,

For your kind information, the article Oath of Office didn't include the oaths of the officials of Bangladesh. The portion was wholly created by me. The English​ translation was not taken from anywhere, rather I translated them. In the official oath, the line is "bangladesher rashtropoti poder". So the translation should be, 'the President of Bangladesh'. Firstly, I wrote the President only. Later I changed it to President of Bangladesh. The original oath contains the phrase, 'jothajothovabe'. 'With equity' should not be a correct translation and I thought 'justly' would be a more perfect translation. So my humble opinion is my edit is justifiable. And the post for 'mohahisab niyontrok' in English is 'Comptroller and Auditor General.' I corrected the spelling.

That's all from the defence.

Good evening,

I thought you could get an answer by editing the data and making a question in the post, which seemed to be a mistake. Sorry for that.

I would like to ask on the current post 'Drag(physics)' --> 'Very low Reynolds numbers: Stokes' drag' --> 'Vg' , what is 'Vg' in the equation given? If you don't know could you redirect me to someone who can answer to me this question?

NAC of AfDs

Hello Cap, and thanks for helping out at AfD. While your closures have been good, I noticed that a lot of them were closed a tad bit prematurely. AfDs are generally allowed to run through a 7-day course unless the result is very obvious. I see that you've been closing discussions a few hours before they hit the 7-day mark. Even though the outcome may seem unanimous, it's a good idea to allow an AfD to stay open for the entire 7-day period. Say for example, you close an AfD at 00:11 (UTC) which is actually scheduled to end at 19:19 (UTC) on the same day, you're closing the discussion 19 hours earlier. That 19 hour period (just an example, and might not need that long) might allow someone to voice a new opinion and might stir the discussion in a different direction, at AfDs that are not (close to) a snowball case. Even I have made early closures but only when a different outcome seemed very unlikely. Nothing wrong with your closures in general but I'd suggest waiting a little longer, unless it's a slam dunk. Closing discussions a few hours late won't hurt anybody. I appreciate your work and you've improved a lot. Keep up the good work. Cheers, —  Yash  talk  stalk 05:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I will be careful and keep this my mind in the next time closing AfD (NAC) after 7 days.Thanks again. CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 21:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
  • Japan 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
  • South Australia Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
  • Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

6gig edits undone

Hi Captain – You recently sent me a message, stating that my edits were undone because they weren't relevant. I was a member of the band that this page is about. I went through and edited all instances of 6Gig to 6gig. The name of the band is spelled with a lower case g. All instances should be 6gig, not 6Gig. I don't mind editing the page again, but maybe you'd leave the correct capitalization?

Thank you!

Editing News #1—2017

Read this in another languageSubscription list for this multilingual newsletter

VisualEditor
Did you know?

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?

Screenshot showing some changes to an article. Most changes are highlighted with text formatting.
When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "Review your changes".

In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

Toggle button showing visual and wikitext options; visual option is selected.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

Screenshot showing the same changes, in the two-column wikitext diff display.

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.

A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [18]

The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [19]

Other changes:

  • You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [20]
  • The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [21]
  • The Categories item has been moved to the top of the Page options menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [22] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [23]
  • You can now create <chem> tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [24]
  • Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [25]
  • The Special character menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [26]
  • A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [27]
  • There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations: Control+Shift+K on a PC, or Command+Shift+K on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is Control+K on a PC or Command+K on a Mac. [28]

Future changes

  • The VisualEditor team is working with the Community Tech team on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of <ref> tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [29]
  • The kind of button used to Show preview, Show changes, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding &ooui=1 to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [30]
  • The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use. [31]

NAC of AfDs

Hello Cap, and thanks for helping out at AfD. While your closures have been good, I noticed that a lot of them were closed a tad bit prematurely. AfDs are generally allowed to run through a 7-day course unless the result is very obvious. I see that you've been closing discussions a few hours before they hit the 7-day mark. Even though the outcome may seem unanimous, it's a good idea to allow an AfD to stay open for the entire 7-day period. Say for example, you close an AfD at 00:11 (UTC) which is actually scheduled to end at 19:19 (UTC) on the same day, you're closing the discussion 19 hours earlier. That 19 hour period (just an example, and might not need that long) might allow someone to voice a new opinion and might stir the discussion in a different direction, at AfDs that are not (close to) a snowball case. Even I have made early closures but only when a different outcome seemed very unlikely. Nothing wrong with your closures in general but I'd suggest waiting a little longer, unless it's a slam dunk. Closing discussions a few hours late won't hurt anybody. I appreciate your work and you've improved a lot. Keep up the good work. Cheers, —  Yash  talk  stalk 05:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I will be careful and keep this my mind in the next time closing AfD (NAC) after 7 days.Thanks again. CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 21:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
  • Japan 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
  • South Australia Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
  • Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

6gig edits undone

Hi Captain – You recently sent me a message, stating that my edits were undone because they weren't relevant. I was a member of the band that this page is about. I went through and edited all instances of 6Gig to 6gig. The name of the band is spelled with a lower case g. All instances should be 6gig, not 6Gig. I don't mind editing the page again, but maybe you'd leave the correct capitalization?

Thank you!

Editing News #1—2017

VisualEditor
Did you know?

Did you know that you can review your changes visually?

Screenshot showing some changes to an article. Most changes are highlighted with text formatting.
When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "Review your changes".

In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

Toggle button showing visual and wikitext options; visual option is selected.

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

Screenshot showing the same changes, in the two-column wikitext diff display.

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding the new visual diff tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving the visual diff tool.

Recent changes

A new wikitext editing mode is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. The 2017 wikitext editor has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures to enable the ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.

A new visual diff tool is available in VisualEditor's visual mode. You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. More features will be added to this later. In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [18]

The team have added multi-column support for lists of footnotes. The <references /> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki. [19]

Other changes:

  • You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [20]
  • The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [21]
  • The Categories item has been moved to the top of the Page options menu (from clicking on the "hamburger" icon) for quicker access. [22] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [23]
  • You can now create <chem> tags (sometimes used as <ce>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [24]
  • Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [25]
  • The Special character menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) . The team thanks the volunteer developer, Tpt. [26]
  • A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page. This has been fixed. The team are sorry for the disruption. [27]
  • There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations: Control+Shift+K on a PC, or Command+Shift+K on a Mac. It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is Control+K on a PC or Command+K on a Mac. [28]

Future changes

  • The VisualEditor team is working with the Community Tech team on a syntax highlighting tool. It will highlight matching pairs of <ref> tags and other types of wikitext syntax. You will be able to turn it on and off. It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [29]
  • The kind of button used to Show preview, Show changes, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors. The new buttons will use OOjs UI. The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read. The labels will remain the same. You can test the new button by editing a page and adding &ooui=1 to the end of the URL, like this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes. [30]
  • The outdated 2006 wikitext editor will be removed later this year. It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors. See a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org if you are uncertain which one you use. [31]

Notes on AfD

A suggestion: could you leave a blank line between when adding notes on the AfDs? Makes editing a lot cleaner. Anmccaff ( talk) 22:34, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
