Hello, I would like to apologize for the edits on "Casa de los Azulejos: Difference between revisions"

For some reason, I got 2 revert notices from you for vandalism that not only were NOT made by me, but weren't shown as being part of my account. I've been editing here for years, and obviously have never vandalized once (why would I). Can you please look into this when you have a chance, and let me know if my account has somehow been compromised? I don't think it has, however - I have certainly never given anybody my password...online or offline. Thanks.

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

I received a revert notice from you that was apparently directed to me because of my current IP address. I'm staying at an airbnb and using its wifi; anyone who has stayed at this house might have used the same IP address if it's static, which I don't know. I have never edited the Hydrology page, and I am logged in with my user name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geneal~enwiki ( talk • contribs) 01:55, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

@ K6ka: The article is about this movie, and not about this movie. Besides the original Wikidata link was not correct - linking the wrong movie, hence i made the change. Thanks for understanding that mirandaa and mirandal or mirandaal are used interchangeably in tamil, though the former is used colloquially while the latter is used literally. - ʋɐɾɯnTalk 09:26, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I am reluctantly responding to your comment regarding a revert on the Commonwealth Fund page. The edit I made was someone's last name that is incorrectly spelled. It is Samuel O. Thier and NOT Samuel O. Their. If you continue to think I am wrong, I suggest you look at the "select past board members" section on the same page or conduct a Google Search on the individual in question. I now would like to ask you, why would you consider my edit incorrect without doing any research on your end? It makes me want to not participate in the improvement of wiki. 96.58.206.230 ( talk) 22:33, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Gatland One Name Study renamed from Ellipticcoin is simply using an old account to begin a serious genealogical study of the surname of Gatland. I am a Guild member of www.one-name.org. My study is not as an employee but as a genealogy researcher in my home who has a subscription to the site and holds the ownership of the study. When other genealogy researchers use the keyword Gatland or any place or other surname in the articles, they will find my study page easier. I also have a website that is in its early stages www.gatlandonenamestudy.com and a facebook page as well. The Wiki page as the others will be developed over time as the study progresses. Wiki is the perfect place to tie the three together world-wide.
Thank you for your consideration. -- Ellipticcoin ( talk) 13:59, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing.
The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. ( T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Editing mode:".
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. ( T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. ( T92661)

Hi. I hope you don't mind my asking a question about global renaming. I saw the Kingibk → True_N request, tried it and got a warning that there's a similar username already there called Truen. Truen has made no edits since registering in 2009, so I thought it was probably not a real problem, but I decided to leave it and see how an expert would handle it. I see you did the rename, so am I along the right lines in assuming it was OK because Truen was old and had no edits? Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 13:05, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I request you review the text that I had deleted. It is composed entirely of a long screed by apparently a litigant against the company and/or its founders. It makes allegations of child rape against one of the founders among other allegations. I can not believe text like that could be left on a wikipedia page or from a purely legal perspective allowed to be published on the site. Can you explain why it should not be deleted?

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by Cyclonebiskit ( submissions), and two each by MPJ-DK ( submissions), Hurricanehink ( submissions), 12george1 ( submissions), and Cas Liber ( submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by Adam Cuerden ( submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by Cwmhiraeth ( submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with J Milburn ( submissions) completing nine.

For some reason, I got 2 revert notices from you for vandalism that not only were NOT made by me, but weren't shown as being part of my account. I've been editing here for years, and obviously have never vandalized once (why would I). Can you please look into this when you have a chance, and let me know if my account has somehow been compromised? I don't think it has, however - I have certainly never given anybody my password...online or offline. Thanks.

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

@ K6ka: The article is about this movie, and not about this movie. Besides the original Wikidata link was not correct - linking the wrong movie, hence i made the change.

I am reluctantly responding to your comment regarding a revert on the Commonwealth Fund page. The edit I made was someone's last name that is incorrectly spelled. It is Samuel O. Thier and NOT Samuel O. Their. If you continue to think I am wrong, I suggest you look at the "select past board members" section on the same page or conduct a Google Search on the individual in question. I now would like to ask you, why would you consider my edit incorrect without doing any research on your end? It makes me want to not participate in the improvement of wiki. 96.58.206.230 ( talk) 22:33, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Gatland One Name Study renamed from Ellipticcoin is simply using an old account to begin a serious genealogical study of the surname of Gatland. I am a Guild member of www.one-name.org. My study is not as an employee but as a genealogy researcher in my home who has a subscription to the site and holds the ownership of the study. When other genealogy researchers use the keyword Gatland or any place or other surname in the articles, they will find my study page easier. I also have a website that is in its early stages www.gatlandonenamestudy.com and a facebook page as well. The Wiki page as the others will be developed over time as the study progresses. Wiki is the perfect place to tie the three together world-wide.
Thank you for your consideration. -- Ellipticcoin ( talk) 13:59, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing.
The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. ( T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Editing mode:".
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. ( T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. ( T92661)

Hi. I hope you don't mind my asking a question about global renaming. I saw the Kingibk → True_N request, tried it and got a warning that there's a similar username already there called Truen. Truen has made no edits since registering in 2009, so I thought it was probably not a real problem, but I decided to leave it and see how an expert would handle it. I see you did the rename, so am I along the right lines in assuming it was OK because Truen was old and had no edits? Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 13:05, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

I request you review the text that I had deleted. It is composed entirely of a long screed by apparently a litigant against the company and/or its founders. It makes allegations of child rape against one of the founders among other allegations. I can not believe text like that could be left on a wikipedia page or from a purely legal perspective allowed to be published on the site. Can you explain why it should not be deleted?

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
Many local feedback pages for the visual editor have been redirected to mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
You can now re-arrange columns and rows in tables, as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
The formula editor has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
The single edit tab project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. ( T102398) Initially, the "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences:
The visual editor uses the same search engine as Special:Search to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Thai, Aramaic and others.
If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thanks!

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by Cyclonebiskit ( submissions), and two each by MPJ-DK ( submissions), Hurricanehink ( submissions), 12george1 ( submissions), and Cas Liber ( submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by Adam Cuerden ( submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by Cwmhiraeth ( submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with J Milburn ( submissions) completing nine.
If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Thanks to everyone for participating, and good luck to those moving into round 2.

Along with getting the year wrong in the newsletter that went out earlier this week, we did not mention (as the bot did not report) that Cas Liber ( submissions) claimed the first Featured Article Persoonia terminalis of the 2016 Wikicup.
