Reply tool

The Reply tool is available at most other Wikipedias.

• The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
• It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.

Research notes:

• As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
• There is preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments that they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[1]
• The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[2] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
• A large A/B test will start soon.[3] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias (not including the English Wikipedia) will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. Editors at those Wikipeedias can still turn it on or off for their own accounts in Special:Preferences.

New discussion tool

The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[4] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.

Next: Notifications

During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at mw:Talk:Talk pages project/Notifications.

The Original Barnstar

I was looking over what was going on at the Tuka article, and was disturbed that amid all of the "you're not following the rules" (which, granted, was very true) nobody seemed to notice much that a biography subject was specifically objecting to extremely personal childhood material being included, and that the material was presented in an undue way and sourced to a single interview. I was going to add a talk comment, and saw you had already seen the problem and removed it. Good on you for that. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:07, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
• A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
• A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.
• A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
• There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

Technical news

• When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
• When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
• There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Arbitration

• By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
• The Kurds and Kurdistan case was closed, authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2021 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: AmandaNP, Operator873, Stanglavine, Teles, and Wiki13.

Hi I have been reached out by a Mumbai based freelancer telling that, Wikipedia.ind.in is a Wikimedia Foundation website. Is it true? He shared a url with me telling that, it is not a spam website rather it is a real Wikimedia Foundation website and it is not on Spam link while others are

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/LinkReports/wikipedia.ind.in

He told me that logo is also of Wikipedia Foundation with an Indian flag on it. I found this https://www.quora.com/Is-Wikipedia-India-a-scam-site-I-met-a-Mumbai-based-Upwork-freelancer-demanding-money-for-creating-a-page-there-and-claiming-this-site-as-a-Wikimedia-Sister-Project-Is-that-true

Can you please share is this is true?

If not, can you mark it in spam link report, so that it can be verified? Anyone when search below link he doesnt finds it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/LinkReports/wikipedia.ind.in 1.36.187.88 (talk) 20:39, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the WMF. The WMF list their projects at meta, and they don't change their logo in quite the same way. It looks like an open mirror of Simple Wikipedia. f nothing else, the use of the logo in that manner is a violation of teh Wikipedia trademark, so I'll pass that information along.

There is a scam where people hire someone to create an article on WIkipedia, but instead get it created on a closed site, and are then charged more every time they wish to have changes made. It is unclear if this site is following a similar model, as it appears to be open, but it is enough to be concerned if it is passing itself off as a WMF project. - Bilby (talk) 15:22, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Respected sir, I had created an article named Appy Pie . I didn't knew that the article was previously deleted twice and as i am new i didn't know how to check whether the article was previously deleted or not. So i have created the article in my draft page. After that I had mailed Diptanshu Das (a reviewer) to review the draft and move it to the article space. He checked my draft, moved it to the article space and reviewed that . After that a reviewer named GSS claimed the article as G4. The subject has enough reliable sources from Forbes , Economy Times, Buisness Standard, India Today and many more. Now i don't know what to do. As you know I am new in WIKIPEDIA so please help me to reinstate the article or suggest me what should i do? With regards Batamore Batamore (talk) 14:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

@Batamore: You need to disclose your paid editing status and you must stop mailing users to review your pages. GSS ^💬 17:12, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Sir i am 15 years old. I am student.I do edit in my free time and out of my interest in Wikipedia.I do not do any kind of paid edit.I am extremely sorry for mailing. As i am new , it was not known to me that the reviewers themselves review the page and i thought that if I mail the reviewers then only they review the articles.Even it wasn't known to me that i can write messages even in the talk page. I am extremely sorry for this. Next time onwards when i will create WIKIPEDIA i will create it in draft and i will wait for the reviewers to review it automatically.Thank You . With regards Batamore Batamore (talk)

Hi Bilby just a courtesy heads-up really.

I've had some email requests from Paolo Petrocelli concerning the EMMA for Peace article and his hopes that he would have a bit more prominence there, and perhaps even an article on himself in due course. He mentioned that he had attempted to contact you. See User talk:Musicdiplomacy#Sources if interested.

I'm happy to run with it, but obviously any help appreciated. Send me an email if there's anything you'd prefer to say off-wiki. Andrewa (talk) 17:08, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi! The problem I've had with EMMA for Peace and Paolo Petrocelli is that a series of paid editors were hired to create articles about him and his project, expand the articles, and to remove tags - including hiring editors to remove the paid editing tags. A number of these paid editors (possibly all, I'd need to check) were previously banned and were evading the blocks/bans to do the work. There's also been the addition of extensive copyright violations. Even after the [Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Paolo_Petrocelli|AFD decision] for Paolo Petrocelli it was repeatedly recreated, including by the subject.

I'm not opposed to expanding EMMA for Peace, although I think you need to get past the original community evaluation of Paolo Petrocelli before that could be recreated. But there is some ugly history here. - Bilby (talk) 23:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks and agree.

Yes, he's been a very bad boy and knows it. Even more important, he seems to now accept that it won't work. Whether this has flowed through to his minions... we can hope. It will eventually.

My agenda is of course improving Wikipedia. I'm trying to challenge him to provide relevant, reliable secondary sources. I can't see any other way forward. If he either can't or won't, that probably means that they do not exist, so end of story. I don't think he's yet convinced of that. Tough.

The community evaluation is valid, it shows that the system is working to protect Wikipedia from such activities.

Hang in there, and while I hope it's not relevant in this case, see here if you'd like a bit of a giggle. Andrewa (talk) 23:31, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi. In what way does the inclusion of these links constitute a copyright violation? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 05:28, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi. The link to debunker.com is to a page with full copies of articles from The Age, The National Enquirer, and other sources with no evidence of permission. This creates a contributory copyright infringement concern, so we can't link to such sites. - Bilby (talk) 05:33, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Nightscream (talk) 20:22, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, a bit confused by your edit summary. Which source are you referring to when you say "failed verification"? --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 23:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

The source for teh first claim, [5], doesn't seem to say that Deckers only refers to their boots as ugg boots. It does describe one boot as a "classic", but doesn't make any further claims. - Bilby (talk) 23:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Ah I see, a bit too much extrapolation there. Let me trim it. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 23:42, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Done - hope that sticks to the facts now. Please feel free to refine. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 23:45, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

At least iot is accurate. However, I don;t know why this is needed - there is an article about Decker's where their branding choices is much more appropriate. - Bilby (talk) 00:01, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

• Consensus was reached to deprecate Wikipedia:Editor assistance.
• Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.

Technical news

• Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Arbitration

• After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.

Hi Bilby. Thanks for all your work on the anti-vax BLP articles that I identified at Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Anti-vax_report_published_in_The_Hill. What do you think of the current state of them at this point? --Hipal (talk) 23:46, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

It is a difficult question. Generally, they are better than they could be. Mostly they abide by policy - although that takes a lot of work - and while I think you could make a case that they have NPOV issues, that would be a hard fight. I wish the editing environment was a bit more balanced, but things are as they are. - Bilby (talk) 11:51, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks like the infobox spamming hasn't been resolved yet... Covered by different sanctions... --Hipal (talk) 15:35, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

• Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
• An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

• IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration

• The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

Hey! I'm going through some old BLP discussions related to GSoW and find your name pop up often trying to reason w them. Just wanted to say that even though you were often bludgeoned, you did raise some good concerns about notability and so on. If you could link me to any especially contentious debates regarding S Inquirer as a source for BLP articles or in general any discussion where the involvement of some editors with GSoW made it hard to find consensus that would be appreciated. I'm finding quite a few but want to make sure I don't miss anything especially egregious. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 10:42, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for reviewing the article [Benjamin Gilmour]. I saw that you put a tag and suggested that it might be a paid work but I can tell you that this is not a paid work. I can clean up or update the article if there is any issue in the content or structure of the Wikipedia article. Thanks again for reviewing the article and sharing feedback. Regards. Billyatthewheels (talk) 13:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Bilby - hope you are well. Good spot with IamJayYas. Some red flags where flying when I saw their contributions too, esp. those AfD comments. Thanks for doing the legwork with logging the case. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:41, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

No problem. Had the master on my list to check re UPE, and the situation there was odd. :) - Bilby (talk) 09:43, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 6 December 2021. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

I have nominated Dietrich v The Queen for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:17, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Why are you editing my user page?

Could you please explain why you are editing my user page? Sgerbic (talk) 06:44, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm not - I fixed an accidental revert. - Bilby (talk) 06:45, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

What do you mean a revert? Why were you editing on my user page at all? Sgerbic (talk) 06:48, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I hit revert by mistake. I then realised, and reverted the revert. - Bilby (talk) 06:51, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Why were you in the edit screen on my user page? Sgerbic (talk) 06:54, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

I was not on the edit screen of your user page. Sorry for the error. - Bilby (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

That does not explain it at all? What were you doing on my user page? Sgerbic (talk) 07:01, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, but I’m not at a computer at the moment and it is a bit hard writing a long reply. I didn’t open your user page. I think I must have hit rollback on my watch list by mistake - I wasn’t trying to open anything or I would have noticed straight away, so my guess is I must have been putting the phone away. I realised shortly afterwards and reverted my revert. Because I’m on my phone I went for the quickest solution I could. One again, sorry for accidentally reverting your edit, and I tried to fix it as quickly as I could. - Bilby (talk) 07:14, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

It just so happened to be my user page that you had been looking at when you put your phone in your pocket? Look Bilby - this is how it feels to me, let me be honest, it is not just you, if it were only you that would be fine. But I have been getting bits of hostility from people involved in that ArbCom case that can't seem to let it go. I don't know if it is because they didn't like the result, or that there is now a general feeling that GSoW are fair game. But it's not a pleasant feeling, at the moment as I write this I'm not feeling the wonderful mood I had only 40 minutes ago when I posted the great news on my user page.

I have rewritten four stubs in the last two weeks, I'm very busy trying to revitalize the WikiProject:Skepticism project, and it seems we are already making positive progress. The GSoW has just added it's 2,000th page and we just hit 110 million page views. This is a time for celebration. I'm trying to get work done and build other editors up, and then I see that you have my user page on your watchlist and are doing who knows what. Are you monitoring all my edits? Is my sandbox on your watchlist also? Is there really nothing better to do here on Wikipedia but to continue to monitor me?

Why can't you and your buddies leave us alone?

I am an adult, I've raised children and have a lot of experience dealing with people. I may be goofy at times, but this is really starting to weigh on my nerves. It is very unlikely I will ever report someone to whatever admin group that is for reporting people, that is not my style, I would rather talk it out. And I know enough about people who are all about the drama to not feed them with my attention. I'm aware of what is being said about GSoW and I here on Wikipedia, but I'm not responding. I'm trying to get work done. I would really appreciate it if we could just move on. I'm not leaving Wikipedia anytime soon and if people can't see that we are not the enemy and assuming that we are just waiting for the opportunity to (insert crime here) when people aren't looking, then I don't know what to do. Sgerbic (talk) 07:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

sorry, still on my phone so I’m not able to respond to all of this right now. But to be clear once more, I was not on your user page at all. I tried to explain that above. - Bilby (talk) 07:47, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Features for new users coming soon (and mentors, like you, wanted!)

Hello. As you're currently listed as a host at the Teahouse, I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get involved and help out directly with one of them.

• Firstly, they will be offered a range of 'suggested edits', and encouraged to make simple improvements to pages that interest them. (Being aware of this feature would be helpful for all Teahouse hosts if you're likely to offer advice on tasks for them to start out doing.)
• There's also a 'Your impact' box to show them how many people have seen the pages they've just edited.
• Finally, each new user is randomly assigned a 'mentor' from a list of friendly, experienced editors, like yourself. If they get stuck, they can ask a question directly to them via a Your mentor box, and hopefully get a swift, friendly answer from that mentor. Currently, this feature is given to 2% of new users, but it's set to increase to around 10% in the very near future.

To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User Panini! reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse and elsewhere, and I've had just the one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days, click here.

If becoming a mentor and helping new users on their first few days here interests you - just as you already do at the Teahouse - then please consider signing up at Growth Team features/Mentor list. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their Preferences.

Thank you! Nick Moyes (talk) 09:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
