A barnstar for you
Non admin closureHi I recently nominated this article for deletion [2] it resulted in a speedy keep (non-admin closure), I don't believe this was the correct decision and others have expressed similar views elsewhere on Wikipedia. The closure was made under SK2A, it is clear this clause applies to clearly to "obviously frivolous or vexatious nominations" such as the nomination of featured articles or April fools jokes. In this case, I feel the article should be deleted in accordance with Wikipedia policy as there is already an article that lists school shootings in the United States, we don't need an article for each and every one. Can you undo speedy closure and allow the discussion to take its course? or alternatively what appeals processes are available? --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 22:14, 10 May 2019 (UTC) Kan Jong-wooHi, I see that you’ve added the article to AfD, and it got deleted. But the references provided was Korean national level newspaper and google level search engine whom verified his albums and music appeared on National TV. Could you please help me to retrieve the article please? I accidentally wrote draft without knowing the subject appeared in many other Korean related article, and moved from draft to article which created this confusion, which I’ll never do. The person who nominated for deletion doesn’t know korean culture nor Korean, but I apologize for my naive action. If you could even move it back to Draft stage, I would really appreciate it. Thank you. J2love (talk) 15:44, 11 May 2019 (UTC) This week's |

W.O.R.F._(Write_Once_Read_Forever)
I rewrote the content though if you look at the report it is only claiming 62 characters of the whole page were a possible violation. Describing technical emulsion ratios for data storage is somewhat technical so only 62 characters of the explanation of the data writing process which came from the one of the founder's page's at NYU where he teaches. I don't think that would constitute a violation but I did put some quote marks around the content and re-wrote the page's content. This is actually the second experiment on the ISS this technology is going through so I am sure the topic is notable, but I am still sourcing the article and possibly looking for some guidance from some others in the field. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) and S Philbrick if you have any more guidance or if this does not meet your standards i would love your input. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 04:05, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

|---|---|
 You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop at Metropolitan New York Library Council in Midtown Manhattan. Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it to the agenda.
Featuring this month a presentation by Interference Archive guests, and a group discussion on the role of activist archives and building wiki content based on ephemeral publications and oral histories. To close off the night, we'll also have Wikidojo - a group collaborative writing activity / vaudeville! We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming edit-a-thons, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities.
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! -- Wikimedia New York City Team 17:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Facto Post – Issue 24 – 17 May 2019
Facto Post – Issue 24 – 17 May 2019  The Editor is Charles Matthews, for ContentMine. Please leave feedback for him, on his User talk page.
To subscribe to Facto Post go to Wikipedia:Facto Post mailing list. For the ways to unsubscribe, see the footer.
Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, a valediction at least for a while. It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM ( text and data mining ).
Wikidata and now Structured Data on Commons represent the overlap of Wikimedia with the Semantic Web. This common ground is helping to convert an engineering concept into a movement. TDM generally has little enough connection with the Semantic Web, being instead in the orbit of machine learning which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?" The Wikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS. Where WikiFactMine set up an API for reuse of its results, ScienceSource has a SPARQL query service, with look-and-feel exactly that of Wikidata's at query.wikidata.org. It also now has a custom front end, and its content can be federated, in other words used in data mashups: it is one of over 50 sites that can federate with Wikidata.
The human factor comes to bear through the front end, which combines a link to the HTML version of a paper, text mining results organised in drug and disease columns, and a SPARQL display of nearby drug and disease terms. Much software to develop and explain, so little time! Rather than telling the tale, Facto Post brings you ScienceSource links, starting from the how-to video, lower right.
The review tool requires a log in on sciencesource.wmflabs.org, and an OAuth permission (bottom of a review page) to operate. It can be used in simple and more advanced workflows. Examples of queries for the latter are at d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource project/Queries#SS_disease_list and d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource_project/Queries#NDF-RT issue. Please be aware that this is a research project in development, and may have outages for planned maintenance. That will apply for the next few days, at least. The ScienceSource wiki main page carries information on practical matters. Email is not enabled on the wiki: use site mail here to Charles Matthews in case of difficulty, or if you need support. Further explanatory videos will be put into commons:Category:ContentMine videos. If you wish to receive no further issues of Facto Post, please remove your name from our mailing list. Alternatively, to opt out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

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
- The report for phase 1 of the talk pages consultation 2019 has been published. Communities are invited to start phase 2 of the consultation on their wikis.
Problems
- File descriptions for files from Commons were not shown properly on other Wikimedia wikis for a few days. For example the image descriptions and license information were missing. This has now been fixed. [3][4]
- Some diffs show an error message when you try to see them. The developers are working on fixing it. It could be because of some edit comments. [5][6]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 22 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The content translation tool on Wikipedia can use machine translations. There is a system to stop translations where the editors do not fix machine translation mistakes. This warns or stops them if they seem to just copy what the machine translation gives them. If this system is too strict or not strict enough you can tell the language team. [7]
- The Wikidata
wbeditentityAPI endpoint will remove all aliases if the request includes an empty alias. This is how it supposed to work. It has not been working this way because of a bug. This will start on 12 June. [8]
