Hi MusikAnimal, I apologize for not explaining why I removed the content. A colleague of mine and I decided to combine those two removed sections into one (we each created the separate sections) as their content was similar in topic. In order to be more concise, we condensed and summarized the content into one overall topic with its respective subsections. Hope that helps and I will undo your restoration. Thanks for the note!

Thanks for your valid points concerning the creation of an entry for Arabeasy. The uniqueness and notability of the system is that it requires one letter per Arabic letter, and is easily typable, reversible and visually similar to the sounds it represents (unlike many established standards), thus of great interest for learners of Arabic such as myself. Furthermore, most of the Arabic transliteration standards have relatively little exposure, and Arabeasy which is new, has currently 336 users for it's chrome extension, still low but reflects the systems usability. The academic journal also chose to publish it on these merits.
Cheers 124.149.132.231 ( talk) 04:16, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
Arabeasy is foremost a transliteration system for Arabic, whose merits were noted by the independent peer-reviewed journal JoLaCE. Do you have evidence to back your claim of affiliation between JoLaCE and the Arabeasy author? 122.49.184.53 ( talk) 22:13, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I am Kern Sibbald, the project Manager of Bacula, and recently you put back some propaganda on the Bacula Wikipedia page that I had removed. Bareos is a fork of the Bacula project, which includes (or included) stolen proprietary source code from Bacula Systems. They have also been propagating false and misinformation about myself, Bacula, and Bacula Systems for over one year. I see no reason why they should be able to put biased missinformation and propaganda on the Bacula page. If they want to write that information on their own websit and their pages, that is there business, and I have not and will not put any Bacula information on any of their pages.
At first, I tried to correct their text to make it more neutral, but that was to no avail, they (mostly Maik Aussendorf) has insisted to put back the false and missleading information (just read it and you will see that it is not at all the kind of information that is appropriate for Wikipedia). So, now I have decided that the only solution is to totally remove all references that they put to Bareos on the Bacula wikipedia page. As project manager of the Bacula project, I have a strong interest to try to maintain the good image of Bacula that we have built up over the last 12 years. To have that torn down by lazy people who fork 12 years of work and add proprietary software to an open software project is not acceptable and downgrading to the whole open source community. As a consequence, I will continue to remove any inappropriate Bareos propaganda from the Bacula Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KernSibbald ( talk • contribs) 15:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC) KernSibbald ( talk) 16:02, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Just attempting to set the record straight on the statement that no visitors are allowed at FORT KNOX. The following was from another WIKIPEDIA article about the film GOLDFINGER
"Broccoli earned permission to film in the Fort Knox area with the help of his friend, Lt. Colonel Charles Russhon.[3][36] To shoot Pussy Galore's Flying Circus gassing the soldiers, the pilots were only allowed to fly above 3000 feet. Hamilton recalled this was "hopeless", so they flew at about 500 feet, "and the military went absolutely ape".[5] The scenes of people fainting involved the same set of soldiers moving to different locations.[36] For security reasons, the filmmakers were not allowed to film inside the United States Bullion Depository, although exterior photography was permitted." 76.168.55.166 ( talk) 16:36, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

This is in response to possible deletion of Article referencing "Ana Margarida Encarnação". This young and talented performer from Portugal deserves to have a place here. If you are a lover of the performing Arts as I am, you will understand the significance and importance of maintaining this Article/Page about the career of Ana Margarida Encarnação. As you may jnow, Ana sang the Portuguese version of Disney's "Let it Go", Frozen Movie. She was also included in the "Let it Go" Behind the Mic, 25-Languages version of "Let it Go". Please don't delete this wondeful performers page. PLEASE HELP!!!

I changed the info about Olga Kurylenko, because she is NOT French. Yes, she acquired the French citizenship, but she has double citizenship, she didn't dropped her Ukrainian one. So, she is mainly Ukrainian, since she was born there, and her family is all from there. Acquiring a new/double citizenship doesn't change that. Is a mistake to call her a French actress/model just because a double citizenship. I changed the information back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.140.46 ( talk) 14:57, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.
Looking ahead: A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting (dir="rtl"
) will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC.

You recently deleted your archived talk pages that I was saving a link to one page. The page would date back to March, when you approve my article of creation, and then I started having problems with an editor that was vented on your talk page. You had provided a link to a Wiki page that contained an email address to send the required information concerning abuse and the pertaining information. Greatly appreciate the posting of the information and link again. Thank you 24.251.41.161 ( talk) 23:10, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and the link to the achieved page. However, when I saved the link on 4/15 there was an ending paragraph, which is not the archived page now. You had provided a link to a page that had directions and an email address. I have looked at the pages from the links you provided and the page is not among the links. Thank you the information, links and help. 24.251.41.161 ( talk) 02:37, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
You deleted the article I wrote for my boss, claiming that although I work for him I can not copy copyrighted material even if I own the copyright. However the material I copied was a self written bio, that just happens to be featured on our website. It's not copyrighted in any sense of the law. Are you saying I have to re-write something I already wrote to have it featured on Wikipedia? However, being that it's a list of noteworthy accomplishments, facts, and projects we work on I fear that you'll simply turn around and say it is close paraphrasing. Please advise and instruct how you are to start a new wikipedia article about someone correctly. Mallratbrodie95 ( talk) 05:16, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hallo, so there is some editing sparring going on between me and an account with the name Gyrofrog. The person is constantly removing my additions to the Amhara People- Notable People section. The person seemed to doubt that the people on the list are not Amharas. I accept his doubt. But the problem with his approach is that he is adding individuals on the Oromo People section whom identity is also questioned. If the Notable individuals list is kept on with a tag, there should no be any other reason it should not happen for the Amhara People article. All article should be subjected to the same level of scrutiny. Thanks in advance for the cooperation. Gembres ( talk) 06:35, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
There is a discussion at the Biographies of living persons noticeboard about this article, which you edited today. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:21, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
User:116.118.42.60 has been repeatedly editing Epic (2013 film) with blanking and replacement by some weird content. He won't stop! Minimalist (Let's talk.) 12:48, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
I have blocked this user for 72 hours. I see that a little while ago you finally gave him a 3RR warning, although at that point he'd already violated it with this edit, and then did it again with their later edits. So it's more than the usual case of four reverts.
Earlier you had said at AIV that this was a content dispute. I can understand why; most of the edit he kept restoring in some form or another seemed to be obscure points of team terminology and the kit colors. However, buried in the middle of it (and here, again) is an allegation, completely unsourced, that the team president is using exhibition games to launder money. You may have missed that; I understand.
An unsourced allegation of a prosecutable criminal offense against an identifiable person, even if their name isn't used, is an egregious BLP violation. We had grounds for a block on that one earlier; I have included that as grounds for the block. Also, the other user should not have been warned for edit warring since 3RR does not apply when a BLP violation is being reverted.
I'm not taking you to task for this, just letting you know so you can be more aware of tricky things like this in the future. Daniel Case ( talk) 22:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.
Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>
. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.Looking ahead: The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

I have edited the entry and added a citation to an established art critic that stated "Among the legendary artists of the 21st century D. Keith Furon is among the most respected." Also in regard to your earlier notes, I did more research and noted that Amazon.com uses the artist's name as the author when it applies to art books. For example. If you look at books by Robert Mapplethorpe, he is listed as the author on Amazon when he is not. In fact a number of his book were published after his death. In regards to books on artists, there is no author. Only the publisher and sometimes the editor of the book is listed. Furon is not the author in reality. The references to the websites of galleries that have exhibited the subject's work are the gallerie's official websites (note the URL). As for the permanent collections of prominent galleries, those are never listed publicly for obvious reasons, so no way to cite a reference. I checked, and three of the four books published on the artist's work are currently available. The earliest book is out of print however.

Hi MusikAnimal, I apologize for not explaining why I removed the content. A colleague of mine and I decided to combine those two removed sections into one (we each created the separate sections) as their content was similar in topic. In order to be more concise, we condensed and summarized the content into one overall topic with its respective subsections. Hope that helps and I will undo your restoration. Thanks for the note!

Thanks for your valid points concerning the creation of an entry for Arabeasy. The uniqueness and notability of the system is that it requires one letter per Arabic letter, and is easily typable, reversible and visually similar to the sounds it represents (unlike many established standards), thus of great interest for learners of Arabic such as myself. Furthermore, most of the Arabic transliteration standards have relatively little exposure, and Arabeasy which is new, has currently 336 users for it's chrome extension, still low but reflects the systems usability. The academic journal also chose to publish it on these merits.

Arabeasy is foremost a transliteration system for Arabic, whose merits were noted by the independent peer-reviewed journal JoLaCE. Do you have evidence to back your claim of affiliation between JoLaCE and the Arabeasy author? 122.49.184.53 ( talk) 22:13, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I am Kern Sibbald, the project Manager of Bacula, and recently you put back some propaganda on the Bacula Wikipedia page that I had removed. Bareos is a fork of the Bacula project, which includes (or included) stolen proprietary source code from Bacula Systems. They have also been propagating false and misinformation about myself, Bacula, and Bacula Systems for over one year. I see no reason why they should be able to put biased missinformation and propaganda on the Bacula page. If they want to write that information on their own websit and their pages, that is there business, and I have not and will not put any Bacula information on any of their pages.
At first, I tried to correct their text to make it more neutral, but that was to no avail, they (mostly Maik Aussendorf) has insisted to put back the false and missleading information (just read it and you will see that it is not at all the kind of information that is appropriate for Wikipedia). So, now I have decided that the only solution is to totally remove all references that they put to Bareos on the Bacula wikipedia page. As project manager of the Bacula project, I have a strong interest to try to maintain the good image of Bacula that we have built up over the last 12 years. To have that torn down by lazy people who fork 12 years of work and add proprietary software to an open software project is not acceptable and downgrading to the whole open source community. As a consequence, I will continue to remove any inappropriate Bareos propaganda from the Bacula Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KernSibbald ( talk • contribs) 15:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC) KernSibbald ( talk) 16:02, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Just attempting to set the record straight on the statement that no visitors are allowed at FORT KNOX. The following was from another WIKIPEDIA article about the film GOLDFINGER
"Broccoli earned permission to film in the Fort Knox area with the help of his friend, Lt. Colonel Charles Russhon.[3][36] To shoot Pussy Galore's Flying Circus gassing the soldiers, the pilots were only allowed to fly above 3000 feet. Hamilton recalled this was "hopeless", so they flew at about 500 feet, "and the military went absolutely ape".[5] The scenes of people fainting involved the same set of soldiers moving to different locations.[36] For security reasons, the filmmakers were not allowed to film inside the United States Bullion Depository, although exterior photography was permitted." 76.168.55.166 ( talk) 16:36, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I changed the info about Olga Kurylenko, because she is NOT French. Yes, she acquired the French citizenship, but she has double citizenship, she didn't dropped her Ukrainian one. So, she is mainly Ukrainian, since she was born there, and her family is all from there. Acquiring a new/double citizenship doesn't change that. Is a mistake to call her a French actress/model just because a double citizenship.

You recently deleted your archived talk pages that I was saving a link to one page. The page would date back to March, when you approve my article of creation, and then I started having problems with an editor that was vented on your talk page.

You deleted the article I wrote for my boss, claiming that although I work for him I can not copy copyrighted material even if I own the copyright. However the material I copied was a self written bio, that just happens to be featured on our website. It's not copyrighted in any sense of the law. Are you saying I have to re-write something I already wrote to have it featured on Wikipedia? However, being that it's a list of noteworthy accomplishments, facts, and projects we work on I fear that you'll simply turn around and say it is close paraphrasing. Please advise and instruct how you are to start a new wikipedia article about someone correctly. Mallratbrodie95 ( talk) 05:16, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hallo, so there is some editing sparring going on between me and an account with the name Gyrofrog. The person is constantly removing my additions to the Amhara People- Notable People section. The person seemed to doubt that the people on the list are not Amharas. I accept his doubt. But the problem with his approach is that he is adding individuals on the Oromo People section whom identity is also questioned. If the Notable individuals list is kept on with a tag, there should no be any other reason it should not happen for the Amhara People article. All article should be subjected to the same level of scrutiny. Thanks in advance for the cooperation. Gembres ( talk) 06:35, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
There is a discussion at the Biographies of living persons noticeboard about this article, which you edited today. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:21, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
User:116.118.42.60 has been repeatedly editing Epic (2013 film) with blanking and replacement by some weird content. He won't stop! Minimalist (Let's talk.) 12:48, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
I have blocked this user for 72 hours. I see that a little while ago you finally gave him a 3RR warning, although at that point he'd already violated it with this edit, and then did it again with their later edits. So it's more than the usual case of four reverts.
Earlier you had said at AIV that this was a content dispute. I can understand why; most of the edit he kept restoring in some form or another seemed to be obscure points of team terminology and the kit colors. However, buried in the middle of it (and here, again) is an allegation, completely unsourced, that the team president is using exhibition games to launder money. You may have missed that; I understand.
An unsourced allegation of a prosecutable criminal offense against an identifiable person, even if their name isn't used, is an egregious BLP violation. We had grounds for a block on that one earlier; I have included that as grounds for the block. Also, the other user should not have been warned for edit warring since 3RR does not apply when a BLP violation is being reverted.
I'm not taking you to task for this, just letting you know so you can be more aware of tricky things like this in the future. Daniel Case ( talk) 22:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.
Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>
. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.Looking ahead: The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers.

I have edited the entry and added a citation to an established art critic that stated "Among the legendary artists of the 21st century D. Keith Furon is among the most respected." Also in regard to your earlier notes, I did more research and noted that Amazon.com uses the artist's name as the author when it applies to art books. For example. If you look at books by Robert Mapplethorpe, he is listed as the author on Amazon when he is not. In fact a number of his book were published after his death. In regards to books on artists, there is no author. Only the publisher and sometimes the editor of the book is listed. Furon is not the author in reality. The references to the websites of galleries that have exhibited the subject's work are the gallerie's official websites (note the URL). As for the permanent collections of prominent galleries, those are never listed publicly for obvious reasons, so no way to cite a reference. I checked, and three of the four books published on the artist's work are currently available. The earliest book is out of print however. I made some edits and will resubmit the article for your consideration. Thanks! Cherylisadesigner ( talk) 01:35, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm interested to know how to change my Wikipedia account to an administrator. How many edits do I need prior to change my Wikipedia account to an administrator? Are there any requirements on how often I need to edit or contribute here at Wikipedia? Serendiptee ( talk) 00:16, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
