I saw you on the available Adopters page and you seem like someone who’d be good at helping with copy editing and anti-vandalism (aka what I’m interested in doing) Ashertheaxolotl (talk) 17:55, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

July songs

my story today

On today's Main page, you can find a cantata that Bach first performed 300 years ago, and an iconic saxophonist from East Germany. Also: a bit about the history of QAI on my talk. Thank you for being part of it! A new member designed a user box that I adopted. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:43, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

While today's DYK highlights Santiago on his day, I did my modest share with my story today, describing what I just experienced, pictured. I began the article of the woman in green. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

hi there ! I am trying to update a photo that is very old... Trying to replace it with a licensed recent photo, but it won't let me upload it. Wondering if you could help me? thank you so much! Cheers Sam --S4870 (talk) 04:17, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, S4870! Is the photo on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons? And do you know the link to the licensed recent photo? Just some basic information so that I can understand the problem. :) Tails Wx 13:05, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey Tails, thank you for your reply, the photo is not online. I tried to create a Wikimedia account to add it there but I couldn't create an account for some reason, I don't know why. So the picture is just on my computer, nowhere online. Thank you S4870 (talk) 01:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hmm…why can’t you create one? Does an error message show up? You can create a Wikimedia Commons account here… Tails Wx 13:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).

Administrator changes

Firefangledfeathers

• AlisonW
• Amberrock
• Closedmouth
• Scottywong

Interface administrator changes

Technical news

• The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
• Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)

Arbitration

• The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
• The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.

My submission for an article, "Gordon Dean Holman", has not been review in over 5 months. You first reviewed it in January. I believe I have fully responded to your and another reviewer's criticisms about not having enough external references. I have looked at similar articles and believe this is as good as or better than many of them. I would greatly appreciate it if you could move this along to acceptance. I feel like it has been lost in the rush of new submissions. Thank you. Tropisun (talk) 18:36, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

@Tropisun, good job on your reference work! It also passes notability guidelines, therefore I will accept the draft. Nice work! Tails Wx 01:53, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

At first I thought it was a child. Now it looks more like a troll.

Also, thanks for the reverts while I was away. The indef was inevitable, and Tamzin summed it well. Acroterion (talk) 03:58, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Happy to help! And the issues with trolls'll definitely be taken care of. :) Tails Wx 04:01, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Tails Wx!

A user has created a duplicate page for Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023's draft making it a duplication. Requesting your review towards it for further action.

Original article - Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

Duplicate article - The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022 Thewikizoomer (talk) 07:06, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

@Thewikizoomer, how is that page a duplicate? I'm not seeing too much similarity. Tails Wx (they/them) ⚧ 10:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

It's a duplicate because, the Bill once gets president's assent becomes an Act. Creating two pages based on one legilation document creates confusion. The bill is nothing but a draft of the Act. That's why i thought it's a duplicate. Thewikizoomer (talk) 19:14, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Aren't drafts and acts still different? Also, the "duplicate" article is now under copyright violation investigation. Tails Wx (they/them) ⚧ 06:05, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/August 2023 Mid-South U.S. floods. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, August 2023 Mid-South U.S. floods), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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
