Charles McGruder III moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Charles McGruder III. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and please look at the notability criteria WP:NPROF. There is nothing in the current draft, e.g. awards & citations that qualifies. You may be able to add, which is why I have moved it to a draft so you can. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 ( talk) 23:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I just wanted to ping you to state that I restored the prior infobox image layout because (i) the images were being pushed out of sequence, and (ii) I don't see why two images of the same thing (the skyline/downtown) are really warranted. That being said if you feel strongly that the image should be included I would not protest further. Just wanted to let you know politely and personally why I restored it! Have a good day. 636Buster ( talk) 17:23, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- That's fine. The format worked in my browser when I did it and I even checked it out in the Wikipedia app. But that said, I see your point. I was thinking that the daytime skyline in combo with the bridge was different enough to add. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 17:47, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm quite bonked right now so my editing is going to be reduced for a while. Burnout is real, folks. Always be sure to catch a breath when you need one. I will continue watchlist duty and some other minor work until I feel "recovered". Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 08:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
A new
Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a
user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the
project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [6] [7]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [8]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (
calendar).

[10]
- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [11]

Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 06:24, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
So tell me...the other editor is edit warring over whether Liston's nickname is "The Big Bear" instead of "the Big Bear"... Previously I had misunderstood as to what the simmering ongoing issue was, I thought someone was thinking his nickname wasn't Big Bear and someone else was saying oh yes it was Big Bear.
Anyway, just wanted to mention that in a 1968
Sports Illustrated article he was referred to as "The Big Bear" with a capital T...
- "Don't be afraid," Geraldine used to counsel. "He don't bite." We poor, petty men were not going to try to find out. Instead, we called him The Big Bear, because maybe he did bite, and we described his look as "baleful," a word which means "foreboding evil."
- Shearonink ( talk) 17:58, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- PS - Yes I did read your talkpage instructions and I do know this is about the Sonny Liston article but wanted to get your take on it here first if that's ok.
Shearonink (
talk) 17:58, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- As you know, we have guidelines for how we present content. Just because a source capitalizes "The" doesn't mean we are supposed to do that. I was going by WP:THE. If I have misunderstood the guideline, please inform. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 18:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have left a note for the other editor to hopefully further help clear up the matter. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 18:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [12] [13]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (
calendar).
[14]
[15]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [16]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_agewill be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [17]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
- Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including
Quarry). This affects only the
abuse_filterandabuse_filter_historytables. Some queries might need to be updated. [18]
