Deletion
WHY DID YOU DELETE SABHARWAL CLAN HISTORY ? IT WAS CORRECT EARLER NOW YOU JUST MAKE JUST ONE KHUKHRAINS PAGE ? WHERE DID YOU GET THESE FACTS? CAN U PLEASE REVERT YOUR CHANGES ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.143.8.4 (talk) 01:30, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- Answered on user's talk page. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 19:30, 13 August 2017 (UTC).
Administrators' newsletter – August 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2017).
- Anarchyte • GeneralizationsAreBad • Cullen328 (first RfA to reach WP:300)
- Cprompt • Rockpocket • Rambo's Revenge • Animum • TexasAndroid • Chuck SMITH • MikeLynch • Crazytales • Ad Orientem
- Following a series of discussions around new pages patrol, the WMF is helping implement a controlled autoconfirmed article creation trial as a research experiment, similar to the one proposed in 2011. You can learn more about the research plan at meta:Research:Autoconfirmed article creation trial. The exact start date of the experiment has yet to be determined.
- A new speedy deletion criterion, regarding articles created as a result undisclosed paid editing, is currently being discussed (permalink).
- An RfC (permalink) is currently open that proposes expanding WP:G13 to include all drafts, even if they weren't submitted through Articles for Creation.
- LoginNotify should soon be deployed to the English Wikipedia. This will notify users when there are suspicious login attempts on their account.
- The new version of XTools is nearing an official release. This suite of tools includes administrator statistics, an improved edit counter, among other tools that may benefit administrators. You can report issues on Phabricator and provide general feedback at mw:Talk:XTools.
Evidence at arbitration
Please use the evidence page to present evidence, not opinions. This is now the second time I've removed parts of your statement for presenting nothing in the way of evidence. Do not re-add it. What I've left is also pretty light as evidence goes, but might perhaps be better suited to the "analysis of evidence" section on the workshop page? GoldenRing (talk) 16:30, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
- As indicated, the text is not complete. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:04, 4 August 2017 (UTC).

Accent marks in listas parameters
Hi Rich. I have a question about listas parameters on the talk pages of biographical articles. Is it important to include the accent mark in the parameter, as I just did here, or is the accent not needed in the parameter? Lepricavark (talk) 03:33, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
- The accent is not needed, and on older versions of MediaWiki would cause it to be listed in a different position. For simple names you can use {{Subst:Qla}} ("Quick list as"). You can also use the {{Remove accents}} to remove accents is it helps.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 18:14, 5 August 2017 (UTC).
- Ok, thanks for the information. By "simple names", do you mean one-word names? Lepricavark (talk) 18:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
- Not sure if I answered this elsewhere, by "simple" I mean western style names with no prefix. I.E. the last word is the most significant part of the search order, followed by the rest. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC).

Wikidata weekly summary #273
The article Grand Duchess Elizabeth Nicholaevna of Russia has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Celia Homeford (talk) 12:07, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Use of AWB
G'day,
I understand that it's all in good faith but making edits that simply expand {{cn|}} tags to {{Citation Needed|}} kinda goes against AWB rule #4 and only real effect is it slightly lengthens all the articles you've made this change to — IVORK Discuss 16:10, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
@IVORK: can you please provide a diff? --Magioladitis (talk) 16:13, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Sure. — IVORK Discuss 16:21, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- IVORK, "Officers" also got changed to "officers", and the {{cn}} isn't the main purpose of the edit. Primefac (talk) 16:28, 16 August 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- Yes, but it's clearly a parameter within his AWB config so would take effect on pages that only had that. If anything it should be changed the other way round. I can't see what use it has other than to boost edit numbers — IVORK Discuss 16:30, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- From the edit summary, it would appear
Fix caps in section header
is the main purpose. I suspect Rich has the "skip if only genfixes" option enabled, which means if AWB doesn't fix the caps in the section header, it would skip the page. Primefac (talk) 16:33, 16 August 2017 (UTC)- This is exactly correct. I operate on the principle of the least number of edits practicable, though I'm sure I fall short of this sometimes, and certainly whatever one does choose to do there will be critics. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 17:39, 16 August 2017 (UTC).

Merger discussion for Monotypic taxon and Monospecificity
Articles that you have been involved in editing—Monotypic taxon and Monospecificity—have been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Nessie (talk) 16:27, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
List of most expensive films
Hi, Richard, I was just wondering if you would explain an edit you made. You made this edit at List of most expensive films which resulted in some of the reference columns being labelled as "Refs and notes" while others were left as "Refs & notes". They now look inconsistent to me and I am wondering if this is just an oversight? It's not a big deal and I can easily fix it if this is the case but I just want to clarify whether it was intentional or not. All the best. Betty Logan (talk) 18:18, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
- Yes this was just an oversight. Thanks for mentioning it. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:11, 18 August 2017 (UTC).
AWB
Hi there seems to be a fault with AWB as it is identifying articles as orphans when they are not so can you please check what links here before adding the orphan tag, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 14:11, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, Atlantic306. I have tweaked the config to be stricter about this. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 14:18, 19 August 2017 (UTC).
Hi Rich Farmbrough.
It looks like many, perhaps even thousands of, articles have been tagged as orphans by you when they are not ? Have you checked Category:Orphaned articles from August 2017. The few I have checked are not orphans as far as I can see. Eno Lirpa (talk) 12:48, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- You need a leading : in a category for it to show as a link.
- Thanks - yes - just in a hurry
- Generally the threshold for being an orphan may be >1 incoming link form a non-list article. See wp:Orphan.
- A single link from a list article is sufficient to deorphan an article. The ones I checked where "main" article to "split off sub articles" so should not be orphaned I suggest.
- I can certainly take a look.
- All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:10, 1 September 2017 (UTC).
