On 3 March 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Go Princess Go, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the web series Go Princess Go has been cut by about a third by Chinese censors concerned about its themes of sex and time travel? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Go Princess Go. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Thanks for uploading File:Józef Franczak - Lalek.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:45, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.
You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.
There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Looks like {{
Topic (Asia)}} is the basis for templates that navigate among articles with country names being used as the disambiguator. For example,
Minister of Foreign Affairs (North Korea) uses the code {{Topic (Asia)|Minister of Foreign Affairs|title=Asian Ministers of Foreign Affairs}}
to link to
Minister of Foreign Affairs (Sri Lanka),
Minister of Foreign Affairs (Azerbaijan), etc.

This month:
In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{
Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=
, category=
, or wikiproject=
, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{
Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}
. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p
. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex
. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
Until next time,

Hi! Commons and I need a quick fix with your language knowledge for this map on the commons. Can you Glean anything from the legend that can be added to the info block? Looks to me this was likely produced by the Polish Government in exile, and IIR, my history, the Monte Casino campaign involved Polish Troops along side (my uncle!) and the US 5th Army.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Hi Piotrus,
I've been really busy the last month, but I've been able to make some progress, mostly into making the tool available on-line. It's not working completely as intended yet, but you can see the progress at http://tools.wmflabs.org/wdcat/process/html?from=plwiki&to=enwiki&wdcat=9649201 . Most importantly, it still needs to check whether the page on the target wiki already has the most relevant category applied. There's also no user interface yet -- the only way to select wikis is by manually filling in the wiki and the Q-number for the category (in this case wikidata:Q9649201). Note that it can be really slow to run at times, but results should appear after a few minutes. Valhallasw ( talk) 14:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

The first four review articles from that search all discussed DREAM in some depth and have been added to the article. GBooks no doubt has more sources. I know you as a careful editor, so I urge you to take a some care in searching before determining a topic is non-notable. -- Mark viking ( talk) 21:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi Piotrus,
I deprodded Next Hop Resolution Protocol after easily finding and adding many reliable secondary sources discussing the protocol. As in the previous section, this is a topic with hundreds of hits both in GBooks and GScholar; this was not even close to not-notable. Generally, if a protocol is the subject IETF RFCs, multiple sources have likely written about it. -- Mark viking ( talk) 03:40, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
On 18 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lost sales, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the concept of lost sales used by the content industry assumes that if pirated products were not available, people would buy them at market rate? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lost sales. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Lost sales), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I have deprodded articles on characters in The Bold and the Beautiful.

Re: referencing. I'm beginning to get it, having glanced at your articles on the matter.

The postface (posłowie) is likewise in Polish and French.

Editing News #2—2016 Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.
The single edit tab feature combines the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.
The "Save page" button will say "Publish page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers 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 several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.
The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. ( T138966)
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
If you aren't reading this in your preferred 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. Thank you!

Hi, I just picked up this review. I noticed your comment in which you suggested a hook and said that if the page nominator likes it and presents it as his own, you can approve it. But having the nominator present your words as his does not satisfy Rule H2 – it's still your hook.

Guten Tag, ich sehe mich als Opfer einer Verleumdungskampagne und einer Diskriminierung.

So habe ich diese u.a. beim Landeskriminalamt und Verfassungsschutz angezeigt. Glauben Sie mir, niemand mehr wird in der polnischen Wikipedia etwas über deutsche Kulturgeschichte schreiben. Dass diese ganzen Gebäude: Rathäuser in den Stadtteilen Königsberg wie Löbenicht, Altstadt und Kneiphof, Schloss- und Krönungskirche in Königsberg nicht auf polnisch geschrieben waren...ist an sich schon ein Armutszeugnis. Wenn man bedenkt, dass sonst sehr viele Bildhauer, die dort wirkten auf polnisch verewigt wurden und sonst Polen bekannt ist für seine online Kulturgeschichtl.

Hello Piotrus,
During the Wikimedia Hackathon (this weekend), I've been working on implementing a proof of concept for meta:2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories#Create_a_tool_to_auto-populate_categories_through_Wikidata.2Fother_wiki_comparison / phab:T120439.

Aye, Piotrus, long time, no see. I just nominated an article, Howard Henry Peckham, I created (April 7) for DYK.

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.
You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.
There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Looks like {{
Topic (Asia)}} is the basis for templates that navigate among articles with country names being used as the disambiguator. For example,
Minister of Foreign Affairs (North Korea) uses the code {{Topic (Asia)|Minister of Foreign Affairs|title=Asian Ministers of Foreign Affairs}}
to link to
Minister of Foreign Affairs (Sri Lanka),
Minister of Foreign Affairs (Azerbaijan), etc.

This month:
In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.
Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)
With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{
Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=
, category=
, or wikiproject=
, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{
Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}
. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!
The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.
If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.
WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.
And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.
Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p
. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex
. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!
Until next time,

Hi! Commons and I need a quick fix with your language knowledge for this map on the commons. Can you Glean anything from the legend that can be added to the info block? Looks to me this was likely produced by the Polish Government in exile, and IIR, my history, the Monte Casino campaign involved Polish Troops along side (my uncle!) and the US 5th Army.

I see that you regularly try to impose your own personal conditions ("please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back") on people contesting your WP:PROD deletion tags, that have no basis in policy or guidelines.

Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Hi Piotrus,
I've been really busy the last month, but I've been able to make some progress, mostly into making the tool available on-line. It's not working completely as intended yet, but you can see the progress at http://tools.wmflabs.org/wdcat/process/html?from=plwiki&to=enwiki&wdcat=9649201 . Most importantly, it still needs to check whether the page on the target wiki already has the most relevant category applied. There's also no user interface yet -- the only way to select wikis is by manually filling in the wiki and the Q-number for the category (in this case wikidata:Q9649201). Note that it can be really slow to run at times, but results should appear after a few minutes. Valhallasw ( talk) 14:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

With a simple WP:BEFORE style search I was able to find a number of in-depth references, added to the article. Those along with the fact that is part of a international standard, makes this topic likely notable. -- Mark viking ( talk) 19:19, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi Piotrus,
I deprodded DREAM (protocol). A simple WP:BEFORE search shows that this protocol is quite notable. The original paper was cited more than 1800 times, and a GScholar search for DREAM routing yielded more than 22,000 hits. The first four review articles from that search all discussed DREAM in some depth and have been added to the article. GBooks no doubt has more sources. I know you as a careful editor, so I urge you to take a some care in searching before determining a topic is non-notable. -- Mark viking ( talk) 21:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi Piotrus,
I deprodded Next Hop Resolution Protocol after easily finding and adding many reliable secondary sources discussing the protocol. As in the previous section, this is a topic with hundreds of hits both in GBooks and GScholar; this was not even close to not-notable. Generally, if a protocol is the subject IETF RFCs, multiple sources have likely written about it. -- Mark viking ( talk) 03:40, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello Piotrus, thank you for your help. Alas, I do not understand what issues Bluemoonset would like me to fix. Do I take out the links for Central Bank etc. and create an ALT2? This is very advanced for me! Best wishes, -- Po Kadzieli ( talk) 10:52, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Re: referencing. I'm beginning to get it, having glanced at your articles on the matter. Because TKS is so new to historical research, the only extensive third party source at the moment, is Professor Radosław Żurowski vel Grajewski's postface in the Polish/French edition of Szymanowski's work on Europe issued by MSZ in Warsaw in 2015. The postface (posłowie) is likewise in Polish and French. It provides biographical detail and an essay on Szymanowski's contribution in the light of other 19th c. writers on the subject of a united Europe. Should I attach the MSZ publication link? Best wishes, -- Po Kadzieli ( talk) 11:31, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Piotrus, you might want to take a look at this nomination; there hasn't been any response to it, and something will need to be done soon. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 14:18, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

On 30 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Student movements in Korea, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the South Korean student movement of the 1980s played a key role in the democratization of their country? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Editing News #2—2016 Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.
The single edit tab feature combines the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.
The "Save page" button will say "Publish page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers 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 several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.
The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. ( T138966)
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.

The Polish version was written by the same person (main account Messina). The user has used hundreds (!) of sockpuppets on many different language versions to evade his global ban. He created the previous version of Jan Pfeffer which was deleted for the same reason I proposed its deletion now. This criterion is listed as WP:Criteria for speedy deletion#G5. Creations by banned or blocked users. I have now nominated the article for regular deletion. -- Schulhofpassage ( talk) 13:18, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Johann Pfeffer (or Johannes Pfeffer) was a German sculptor born in Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), active 1668–1687. He sculpted the portal of the Königsberg Castle (1669) [1] and the main altar of Kumehnen Church (1676). [1] [2] He made many sculpted altars and pulpits for other churches in East Prussia:

Hi! Thanks for your feedback on Martin Shirran. I just wanted to ask, you don't think US national TV coverage by CBS; a feature in The Times, Britain's most highly respected daily newspaper, and a feature in Psychologies magazine meets the GNG's requirement of significant media coverage? None of that is tabloid. In your opinion, what additional coverage would be required to meet the GNG? Thanks for your time, I'm Tony Ahn ( talk) 01:19, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I just picked up this review. I noticed your comment in which you suggested a hook and said that if the page nominator likes it and presents it as his own, you can approve it. But having the nominator present your words as his does not satisfy Rule H2 – it's still your hook. Whenever I feel my alt is better than what the nominator can come up with, I call for a new reviewer. Since I did the review up to that point, I claim it as a QPQ.

On 11 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gender inequality in South Korea, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the significant gender inequality in South Korea is illustrated by a Global Gender Gap Report indicator which shows that South Korean women earn on average about 55% of what men earn? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gender inequality in South Korea.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nutcracker doll, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Desert War. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

the articles about the town halls in Konigsberg in polish Wikipedia have a spamfilter. Nobody can elaborate them -- MateuszTga ( talk) 17:55, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
Guten Tag, ich sehe mich als Opfer einer Verleumdungskampagne und einer Diskriminierung. Der Bann erfolgte nicht wegen Fehler im Inhalt, sondern weil ich mich juristisch gegen meine (mE antijüdischen, rechtsextremistischen und rassistischen deutschen) Mobber wehrte. So habe ich diese u.a. beim Landeskriminalamt und Verfassungsschutz angezeigt. Glauben Sie mir, niemand mehr wird in der polnischen Wikipedia etwas über deutsche Kulturgeschichte schreiben. Dass diese ganzen Gebäude: Rathäuser in den Stadtteilen Königsberg wie Löbenicht, Altstadt und Kneiphof, Schloss- und Krönungskirche in Königsberg nicht auf polnisch geschrieben waren...ist an sich schon ein Armutszeugnis. Wenn man bedenkt, dass sonst sehr viele Bildhauer, die dort wirkten auf polnisch verewigt wurden und sonst Polen bekannt ist für seine online Kulturgeschichtl. Lexicas über Ermland-Masuren und seine herrlichen Rekonstruktionen wie das Warschauer Schloss, Schloss Malbork, Schloss Szezin etc.
P.S. Ich habe übrigens nicht die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit.

As to MNW, you should contact User:Gytha, she's our Wikipedian in Residence there. As to Stańczyk - I have absolutely no clue. Either the year is wrong, or the volume is wrong, that I'm certain (since the ref points to this text on Roland Barthes, which is highly unlikely to mention Stańczyk at all. Anyway, there's plenty of sources to chose from, so I'd rather remove the ref and replace it with something else. // Halibu tt 21:19, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi piotrus , here are a few references/ Notability cases that apply to CSS Corp .
please ref WP:AUD /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:AUD - - css corp has worked in wildlife conservation and has been covered by local media in karnataka,
News about CSS Corp has appeared in leading publications such as Economic Times in india, http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/ites/swiss-pe-fund-partners-group-in-talks-with-infosys-tcs-to-sell-css-corp-at-a-valuation-of-400-450-million/articleshow/51705874.cms . this is one such story and many others have appeared which i am not mentioning here toi keep this short.
It has definitely received "Significant coverage" on independent websitesfor a company of its size and is notable under > > /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline
CSS Corp is also a well known organization in areas in which it is located.
The above reasons are enough to justify the article to be not deleted . \ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditya1Jayaram ( talk • contribs) 10:41, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

The article TaZ is notable because the subject is a professional video game player who has won several major Counter-Strike competitions, which gets coverage from reliable sources. A similar article about a player, Karrigan, was DRV'd and AFD but both pointed towards restoration. Hopefully this addresses your concerns.-- Prisencolin ( talk) 19:01, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
