Hey, I did not know that I had to write a certain way to add content and there was nothing indicating of had to support it with a reliable source. One would figure the program would automatically ask, if it's needed, since it was rather a hassle to actually start an account here. I don't know what you would call a reliable source, but I work at the place where he got married this weekend. If that's not enough for you, please let me know and I'll just delete my account here again. Thanks and have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pflueftl (talk • contribs) 02:55, 11 July 2016 (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.
Recent changes
- A new image scaler fixed a number of bugs for showing SVG files. Some new problems turned up. [1][2][3]
- Notifications are grouped by types. They are now counted by number of notifications and not by unread groups. That change may increase the number of notifications displayed. The earlier way of counting was often incorrect. Unread notifications will also be displayed first. [4][5][6]
- Special:Notifications now has a maximum width for the notifications list on desktop computers. This allows long titles and descriptions to be cut properly. Notifications are now also better parsed. [7][8][9]
Problems
- On 5 July Wikimedia Commons had problems and could not be edited for 20 minutes. For a short while after that the recent changes log and some gadgets were not working properly. It affected administrative actions on other projects too. [10]
- Users who have multiple unread notifications can mark them as read by visiting Special:Notifications page on their wiki.
Changes this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 July. It will be on all wikis from 14 July (calendar).
Meetings
You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 July at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Hello CAPTAIN RAJU, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of
Chequers 21:33, 14 July 2016 (UTC)Your undoing of my correction in Tracfone Wireless
The correction I made was to the proper spelling of the past tense of the verb "lead." The past tense is properly spelled "led" while it was improperly spelled in the present tense form of "lead." I request that you reinstate the correction of the spelling error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.38.184 (talk) 03:38, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
Your arrogant communication in defence of the indefensible
Captain Raju. I have originated and edited articles from the inception of Wikipedia. It is not appropriate that you send me, a retired university academic, a litany of offensive ridicule involving "sandbox" use or that I have my editing described as "experimental" by you. Wikipedia is a democracy, albeit with rules - not an oligarchy. You appear not to know how to speak to your fellow wikipedians without condescention. I am 64, have contributed 40 years of academic writing to my discipline and, moreover, worked intimately and hands-on with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association at SPREE '73 (1973) in Olympia and Earls Court,and MISSION ENGLAND (mid-1980s, when I was a theology undergraduate) in venues in the south of England. I know others who know the evangelist, and have read his biographies. I speak of what I know, accurately and without prejudice, and didn't edit for the fun of it, though it would have been better had I logged on before editing his article. I believe in Wikipedia's core values of accuracy and lack of prejudice; it is not a platform for the advertisement of anybody's agenda, not yours, not mine, not Dr Graham's. Biographical articles are not meant to be polished up 'advertising puff' for any individual, and Graham is not above reproach just because he espouses the religious beliefs of those, possibly like yourself, who may be unable to see or know the reality of his conduct due to their attachment to his belief position. Your remarks to me don't deal factually with what you find objectionable, you merely insult me as if I am some tinkering wiki-amateur. This implies you have no rational grounds for reversion. It seems you see yourself as a senior player who has executive control. I am not aware of wikipedia being other than democratic. It is certainly not acceptable for followers or believers to airbrush out the truth of religious or cult figures to illegitimately protect anybody's dogma or reputation. I likely have a lot more hands-on awareness of the matters pertaining here than you possess or were aware of. The paragraphs cited in the article as written, before my intervention, assert with greater emphasis than the accusation, (which is an accurate one), points of defence that amount to focussing, (insisting, even), on his spokesmen's unsubstantiated "whitewashing" of his motivation, rather than what the Nixon-period tapes reveal. And you cannot insist I leave alone a chauvinistic glossing over of Graham's record. I assert my right to edit bona fide, without your permission or ridicule, in the light of my personal knowledge of the history and circumstances of Graham's behaviour. I don't wish to get into a reversion war, but neither will I knuckle under to your high-handed and insolent remarks. If we cannot agree, we can seek arbitration via appropriate wiki mediation. Sincerely and without prejudice,Trevor H. (UK) 05:57, 15 July 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trevor H. (talk • contribs)
- (Reliable sources. This is often a problem for academics in particular, as they are accustomed to being a recognised authority but find that here in Wikipedia sources are everything, a difficult difference.
- I think you may be over-reacting somewhat to a perhaps over-hasty (and totally uninformative) revert where the editor clicked on a button as "test edit" without bothering to explain any further why they objected to your edit (though editing without logging in is always unwise, as it means that you appear to be dropping in from nowhere, rather than being an established editor, and I think this probably leads many editors to be more sceptical about the edits). The message they left on WP:AGFmessage, where something might be vandalism or might be an experiment. They say "Don't template the regulars" (well, some say - others disagree), but you gave no indication that you were a regular. Even so, he should have given you some reason for reverting your change: there is scope to add an extra message to the end of a standard template message.
- @CAPTAIN RAJU: Please be more informative when you revert an edit, even if it's from an IP. See what distress you can cause by reverting without explanation. PamD 07:40, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
Gee I bet you guys have to deal with that constantly. (Sega)
Sorry, guess I should have minded my own business but I really hate stuff like that. It's so petty and stupid and I can only imagine what it's like on the historical figure side. You guys are cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.192.74.153 (talk) 12:24, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Reversion of edit to John Lewis Partnership
Hello,
Thank you for your keenness in reverting the edit made to the John Lewis Partnership. Unfortunately in this case, the edit made is correct - the MD for Waitrose is in fact Rob Collins (see: http://www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/about/waitrose/management-team.html) and it has been well publicised in London regarding Mark Price's departure.
I've corrected the reversion but would welcome a quick cross check before reverting edits as vandalism in future... I've made the same mistake myself before and it's worth a quick check on Google before firing off warnings to users.
Cheers, and keep up the good work!
