Hello MusikAnimal, you blocked Gundappa swami recently. The page he was editing continuously was Garhi Pukhta. I have already reverted his changes twice today and owing to WP:3RR I am not sure if I should revert it again. Can you please restore the page into last meaningful state? Thanks, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 18:08, 17 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)

After a little while, I'd like to ask more seasoned admins to review my actions. Is there a way to create an "admin action log"? For instance, CDS and PROD logs only go to the beginning of this year, because even though I'd been nominating pages long before the logs were created, it didn't occur to me to create a page that tracked these actions. So far I haven't found a way to track my deletions/blocks etc. Many thanks! 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 18:21, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Got an edit conflict, here's my reply (but thank you JJMC89!):
I think that the "Removing {{TAFI}}, article for improvement period has concluded." statement could also include "Feel free to expand further, if you wish", or something like that. What I am thinking is that there is no deadline in improving articles. Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 00:19, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Would you mind walking me through the thought process that led to this ? I had made one revert over the course of 6 dix days, and that revert was of an IP editor, who is not allowed to edit that article at all, and could have been reverted an indefinite number of times without violating the 3Rr rule, per WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. When Other Legends Are Forgotten ( talk) 00:53, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps you'd like to take a look at what I see as a expected result of your previous actions (blocking me, inadvertently aiding and abetting a scrutiny evading IP -hopper who is not allowed to edit any article in the topic area) . i followed your advice and tagged the relevant article with an {{ARBPIA}} template, and the IP sockpuppet is now edit warring it out of the talk page - [1]. Perhaps some action against them is warranted, as well. When Other Legends Are Forgotten ( talk) 23:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
Now I am disappointed in you. There is very clear consensus that IPs may not edit any Talk page related to the I-P conflict. If you disagree with this, you need to ask for an amendment to the GP of WP:PIA3. Until such time, you are best off not involving ourself in administrative actions related to such articles, as your view of the sanctions is out of line with what arbitration committee has ruled. It is also a bit disingenuous of you to suggest I request page protection - such protection was asked for, and you responded to that request by blocking me.

MusikAnimal, I hope you're having a Happy New Year (Wikipedia time), or about to have one.
The nightly update of T:TDYK didn't occur tonight, and I was wondering whether the change to a new year might be the culprit. At any rate, I've manually added the new January 1 header and moved the Current nominations header from December 24 to December 25. I'll try to keep an eye on it for the next few days, in case the problem involves moving from the twelfth month to the first; we haven't had any other month-change issues since your bot started doing the nightly updates. Thanks again for adding this task to your bot; it has been nice to have this daily update done right after UTC midnight. BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey MusikAnimal. I need some advice please. I was patrolling my watchlist and came across some edits by a new registered user adding genre's and recording dates which I reverted and left a message on the users page explaining they need to be sourced. When I got back to my P.C. a while later all my edits relating to this editor had been reverted by user : Mlpearc. He reinstated the unsourced information and left me 3 rather ugly warnings in very quick succession on my talk page, which is in no way assuming good faith. To date the information remains unsourced and while I have asked for an explanation on my and his talk page the only response I have been able to get out of him is " don't feed". I was looking at his talk page and I see this has happened before. Anyone can see I only edit constructively and while my edits are barely passed 7000, my track record is good. Please could you look at these edits and advise me as to what can be done about this. Much appreciated! Rob van vee 16:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@ Robvanvee: I've never really thought about it but, about a year, seems to be what I look for. Mlpearc ( open channel) 19:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

This IP you blocked yesterday has come back as this and is doing the exact same disruptive editing. Do you know how to range block? Like maybe block "112.198..." or something. DaHuzyBru ( talk) 14:06, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, seeing as User:When Other Legends Are Forgotten was warned not to remove posts by others from talk pages which he agreed not to do [3], shouldn't my edits now be restored on Ethnocracy? He's since been blocked, so should his edits on that talk page as well as others be blocked out too? 81.132.249.228 ( talk) 17:50, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi MusikAnimal, thanks for protecting the Jat people page. Can you see if the Gurjar article merits the same treatment, where we have just had an edit war with a newish user? Cheers, Kautilya3 ( talk) 18:39, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey MusikAnimal. I think the RfC is just about ready to go; could you give it a once over to check it's clear and I haven't missed anything? Thanks, Sam Walton ( talk) 16:35, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, MusikAnimal, yesterday you protected a number of number articles (pun intended) and stopped at 11. After they were blocked, they of course continued with another IP address Special:Contributions/36.84.234.164, at number 15. Good grief . IP is already blocked, but perhaps you can protect a few more number articles? - TIA and cheers. And happy 2016! - DVdm ( talk) 09:20, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello again M. I am glad that the trial went well. Douchebag showed up on the list. It is another one that is fully protected so I can't get at it. Is a change to the expiry time like this something that your new bot will fix? You might also check Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/AutoWikiBrowser and Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Mass message sender. I think that some of the editing that you did on the first one had a spillover on the second - though I could be wrong. As ever thanks for your help. MarnetteD| Talk 06:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Got an edit conflict, here's my reply (but thank you JJMC89!):
I think that the "Removing {{TAFI}}, article for improvement period has concluded." statement could also include "Feel free to expand further, if you wish", or something like that. What I am thinking is that there is no deadline in improving articles. Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 00:19, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

If you would like to contribute to the discussion of my uw-poorlysourced templates, you may see that invitation link. Thanks. Qwertyxp2000 ( talk | contribs) 23:59, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Would you mind walking me through the thought process that led to this ? I had made one revert over the course of 6 dix days, and that revert was of an IP editor, who is not allowed to edit that article at all, and could have been reverted an indefinite number of times without violating the 3Rr rule, per WP:ARBPIA3#500/30. When Other Legends Are Forgotten ( talk) 00:53, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps you'd like to take a look at what I see as a expected result of your previous actions (blocking me, inadvertently aiding and abetting a scrutiny evading IP -hopper who is not allowed to edit any article in the topic area) . i followed your advice and tagged the relevant article with an {{ARBPIA}} template, and the IP sockpuppet is now edit warring it out of the talk page - [1]. Perhaps some action against them is warranted, as well. When Other Legends Are Forgotten ( talk) 23:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
Now I am disappointed in you. There is very clear consensus that IPs may not edit any Talk page related to the I-P conflict. If you disagree with this, you need to ask for an amendment to the GP of WP:PIA3. Until such time, you are best off not involving ourself in administrative actions related to such articles, as your view of the sanctions is out of line with what arbitration committee has ruled. It is also a bit disingenuous of you to suggest I request page protection - such protection was asked for, and you responded to that request by blocking me.

MusikAnimal, I hope you're having a Happy New Year (Wikipedia time), or about to have one.
The nightly update of T:TDYK didn't occur tonight, and I was wondering whether the change to a new year might be the culprit. At any rate, I've manually added the new January 1 header and moved the Current nominations header from December 24 to December 25. I'll try to keep an eye on it for the next few days, in case the problem involves moving from the twelfth month to the first; we haven't had any other month-change issues since your bot started doing the nightly updates. Thanks again for adding this task to your bot; it has been nice to have this daily update done right after UTC midnight. BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

You are right because i'm retype in Burmase font (Zawgyi fonts) You will not see before install zawgyi myanmar fonts. Don't worry description is the same with you. Only change "Font" Nst7 ( talk) 18:29, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey MusikAnimal. I need some advice please. I was patrolling my watchlist and came across some edits by a new registered user adding genre's and recording dates which I reverted and left a message on the users page explaining they need to be sourced. When I got back to my P.C. a while later all my edits relating to this editor had been reverted by user : Mlpearc. He reinstated the unsourced information and left me 3 rather ugly warnings in very quick succession on my talk page, which is in no way assuming good faith. To date the information remains unsourced and while I have asked for an explanation on my and his talk page the only response I have been able to get out of him is " don't feed". I was looking at his talk page and I see this has happened before. Anyone can see I only edit constructively and while my edits are barely passed 7000, my track record is good. Please could you look at these edits and advise me as to what can be done about this. Much appreciated! Rob van vee 16:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
@ Robvanvee: I've never really thought about it but, about a year, seems to be what I look for. Mlpearc ( open channel) 19:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

This IP you blocked yesterday has come back as this and is doing the exact same disruptive editing. Do you know how to range block? Like maybe block "112.198..." or something. DaHuzyBru ( talk) 14:06, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, seeing as User:When Other Legends Are Forgotten was warned not to remove posts by others from talk pages which he agreed not to do [3], shouldn't my edits now be restored on Ethnocracy? He's since been blocked, so should his edits on that talk page as well as others be blocked out too? 81.132.249.228 ( talk) 17:50, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi MusikAnimal, thanks for protecting the Jat people page. Can you see if the Gurjar article merits the same treatment, where we have just had an edit war with a newish user? Cheers, Kautilya3 ( talk) 18:39, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey MusikAnimal. I think the RfC is just about ready to go; could you give it a once over to check it's clear and I haven't missed anything? Thanks, Sam Walton ( talk) 16:35, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, MusikAnimal, yesterday you protected a number of number articles (pun intended) and stopped at 11. After they were blocked, they of course continued with another IP address Special:Contributions/36.84.234.164, at number 15. Good grief . IP is already blocked, but perhaps you can protect a few more number articles? - TIA and cheers. And happy 2016! - DVdm ( talk) 09:20, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello again M. I am glad that the trial went well. Douchebag showed up on the list. It is another one that is fully protected so I can't get at it. Is a change to the expiry time like this something that your new bot will fix? You might also check Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/AutoWikiBrowser and Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Mass message sender. I think that some of the editing that you did on the first one had a spillover on the second - though I could be wrong. As ever thanks for your help. MarnetteD| Talk 06:04, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
