Hi Thank you for making the changes on Wake the world Firends sessions! Do you think the same edits should be done to I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions (album)? Thanks Tim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atozafit1 (talk • contribs)
- @Atozafit1: Sounds like a good idea to me! ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:27, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yes I am pretty new and not very good at editing. so many strange symbols and signs you got to try to put infront to make charts and hyper link etc A lot to learn. Ill be excited to see the I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions (album) page updated! Thanks Tim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atozafit1 (talk • contribs)
- @Atozafit1: No problem: it's okay to make mistakes, since it can all be fixed. You can't "break" anything here. That said, it's worth learning how to do things the proper way as you go. E.g. when you post on a talk page, make sure to add a signature by typing in ~~~~ at the end. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:21, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Greetings Koavf,
I received notification that my Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Wikigazer/sandbox/wikigazer_user_page&oldid=658823122 has been edited by you to remove:
[[Category:Articles created via the Article Wizard]]
I have been searching through Wikipedia to try to understand what this is for and what implications it may have. Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion seems to be potentially relevant?
Please would you kindly help me to understand why you have done this and what it means for my "newbie" attempts to work in Wikipedia? What is the reason for making this change?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
wikigazer

See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_January_6#Category:Articles_created_via_the_Article_Wizard. As far as implications or actions required by you: nothing. It's purely an administrative thing that shouldn't impact your work here at all. As an aside, to sign your posts, please use four tildes (~~~~).

Hello
I would like to know if it is possible to replace the categories in this article with muslim instead of spanish. Ceuta did not become spanish until the 16th century. thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.155.44.51 (talk) 21:42, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- But you can be both Muslim and Spanish. One is a religious affiliation and the other an ethnicity/nationality/citizenship status. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:45, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- He was born 5 centuries before Ceuta became spanish. so I think muslim or moorish for ethnicity would be more accurate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.155.44.51 (talk) 21:52, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Redesigning Wikipedia's Spam Defenses
Hello,
I’m King, a current Junior at Stanford University. You’ve spent many years on Wikipedia. I am curious what you think about the current system of flagging articles and issues and how it could be optimized. Maybe Machine Learning tools could be implemented? I can also be reached at iamking-at-stanford-dt-edu. (Formatted weirdly to protect myself from bots) Would love to hear from you either on Wikipedia talk or via email. Thank you for your time!
P.S. I grew up using Wikipedia and would love to have the opportunity to contribute back to this community-powered knowledge base. Speaking with you would be greatly advantageous. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingalandydy (talk • contribs) 04:50, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

January 2019
Your recent editing history at Out of Time (album) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks for uploading File:Eminem - Kamikaze.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:29, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Glam
Oh, THAT is ridiculous. We categorize glam metal as a parent genre to glam rock? Forgive me for the coarseness, but frankly, that's bullshit. Despite their similarity in names, they are totally separate in style. I'd love to know whose idea this was. dannymusiceditor oops 02:49, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

My apologies, I thought this was you. Anyway, yes, I do happen to have an example to share. I didn't mention one from Motley Crue before, but let's take Kickstart My Heart as an example. Both this and Crush with Eyeliner are cited as glam metal but are quite obviously different. I know how policy typically works on these things, but you asked. dannymusiceditor oops 03:23, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

It's nice to hear, especially as you're someone whose work and editing philosophy I've always respected. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:19, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Ser Amantio di Nicolao: No problem. Being white guys in our mid-30s on the Internet, we're pretty well insulated from the most vicious stuff but the Internet can still be a really gross place sometimes. I honestly don't know how sensitive of a guy you are or how interested you are in seeing a bunch of strangers talking about you but it can just be a surreal and off-putting experience. I decided to err on the side of letting you know and standing up for my fellow Wikipedian. Thanks for the kind words yourself, S. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:33, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Unexplained edit reversion of a good faith edit
Using a handwritten summary on this edit would have made better sense. For one thing, there was nothing in the automated summary that said that the edit kept the fix that I made to the link pointing to Gnik Nus. Because of that, had it been someone less observant than myself, it is possible that they may have ended up reverting your edit back without realising that the edit you made kept the fix. And it was an unexplained reversion of a good faith edit. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 09:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:WPSANFRAN requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
G4: The template Template:WikiProject San Francisco was deleted and this was created a few years later as the same template. Couldn't tag G4 as the deletion log does not show the discussion it was based on.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Nice redirect!
Hey!
I noticed you made a really cool redirect from The Dowie Dens o’ Yarrow to Baby Shark. Unfortunately, since that doesn't make sense, I changed the redirect so it leads to The Dowie Dens o Yarrow.

- @Hecseur: I don't at all, as it's a better target. I was going to read "Baby Shark" and see if there was an article for the folk song but evidently there is and you already fixed it. Your solution is definitely superior

NPR Newsletter No.17
Hello Koavf,
- News
- The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.
- Discussions of interest
- Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
- {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
- A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
- There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
- Reminders
- NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
- NPP Tools Report
- Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
- copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
- The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Talk:Orchid Bay, Belize requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Please stop using {{sub}}
Hi Koavf, please stop converting sub html to templates such as {{sub}}. There is a style guide for chemical articles Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Chemistry that should be followed, and this uses <sub>. Any bulk changes are likely to be controversial, and should be discussed on project pages first before making. For example Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemicals. In the mean time I will be undoing these changes you made. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:50, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Graeme Bartlett: Per Help:HTML in wikitext, we shouldn't use HTML. I don't see anything at the linked page encouraging HTML tags. What am I missing? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:15, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- If you look at the wikitext in the MOS page you will see it uses the sub and sup tags, not templates. The talk pages I pointed you to were where mass changes should be proposed first. In the recent past there have been people who want to use <math> or <chem> or {{chem|}} to markup chemical formulae. THe people jsut started mass editing and then had to be stopped. The new ways of formatting all have had disadvantages that lead to rejection. For one page it can be tried out, but when doing all pages, the whole big picture needs to be examined. Before converting to templates, you must make sure that the editors that edit this text are happy with any mass changes. The tools that generate, edit or use these formats must be in alignment. Also note that AWB should not be used to edit pages in such a way that there is no visible difference. So cosmetic editing could be combined with spelling correction for example. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:33, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Graeme Bartlett: You don't need prior approval for non-controversial changes but do you have in mind what could possibly be the advantages of just these two HTML tags? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:55, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- The problem will be that you don't know ahead of time what will be controversial. Fixing up clear mistakes will not be controversial if you get it right. But changes to thousands of pages is probably going to be controversial. For example some were annoyed when I changed ndash template to – with AWB. So I disabled the rule. There are advantages in not using templates. There is less processing burden, and you will not hit the limit on number of template expansions. Using templates makes it harder to understand what is happening, as you would have to understand the template as well as its use. Templates have some extra risk of vandalism in bulk. For many templates the advantage of using them outweighs the problems, but for simple sub and sup there seems to be no advantage to use. Instead of discussing the particulars on your talk page though, it should be on a project talk page so that more will participate. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:47, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Graeme Bartlett: It is on the talk page as I started a thread. Your point about max templates is definitely a concern but is really only relevant for a small handful of articles like water or carbon.
