- @Piotrus: Hello, there is not a script for this, as far as I know. I have AutoWikiBrowser set-up with some replacements to do the changes for these common errors. Keith D (talk) 09:54, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Ben Bernanke
Hello Keith D! You edited Ben Bernanke. You said MOS:DATEFORMAT does request for that. I think, MOS:DATEFORMAT only applies to Read-Text, not to Source-Text inside of templates. Don't the templates convert it correctly? The yyyy-mm-dd format is used in foreign Wikipedias as well as in en Wiki, and the foreign templates are able to convert yyyy-mm-dd to the date-formats used in their languages respectively. yyyy-mm-dd makes it easier for translators who want to develop versions in their native language from the en Wiki article. Best regards, --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 16:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, MOS:DATEFORMAT applies to all dates in an article.
- Publication dates in an article's citations should all use the same format, which may be:
- the format used in the article body text,
- an abbreviated format from the "Acceptable date formats" table, provided the day and month elements are in the same order as in dates in the article body, or
- the format expected in the citation style being used (but all-numeric date formats other than yyyy-mm-dd must still be avoided).
- Access and archive dates in an article's citations should all use the same format, which may be:
- the format used for publication dates in the article (see above);
- the format expected in the citation style adopted in the article; or
- yyyy-mm-dd
- Publication dates in an article's citations should all use the same format, which may be:
- The templates now convert to a single format for reader consistency but that does not absolve editors from keeping to the MOS requirements. The article in question had a mix of date formats, including some invalid formats, so I brought it in line with the MOS as indicated by the {{Use mdy dates}} template on the article.

- Thanks, i have learned this is one more difference between different language Wikipedias. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 19:15, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

- Hello, it appears as the first result when I try. I would ask at Village pump (technical) if you continue to have problems as that is for any technical queries. Keith D (talk) 11:24, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).
Interface administrator changes

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Hello Keith D! Please have a short look over a learner's edit (~1hour ago): is it correct? (some date format adjustments, and a new category) Katherine A. High — Preceding unsigned comment added by Himbeerbläuling (talk • contribs) 06:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, Edits look OK, though month first dates may be more appropriate for an American person. Keith D (talk) 08:49, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 10:28, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Juhana Vartiainen article
Hello Mr. Keith D.
I don't know if this is the proper way to contact you, but I figured this was a way to contact you easily:
I worked on the Juhana Vartiainen English article, and elaborated quite a bit with extra sources, list of his published books and so on. As I was publishing it, it told me there was a "conflict"/you had fixed the two date source errors while I was editing. How would I get this version in the article, with the new extra bits added without "losing written progress"?

- Hello, there is a problem with edit conflicts in general and can only be fixed by reapplying changes. It depends on the amount of changes that you have made, if it is small then you can just edit the article as it stands, if they were major changes then just save your edit and the date changes can be reapplied to your version. Keith D (talk) 22:48, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
AWB and Short Description
I noticed that two recent edits using AWB moved the Short Description down below other headers, contrary to MOS:ORDER. This was presumably due to an incorrect AWB 6.1.x genfix, which was corrected in the most recent version. If you haven't already, could you upgrade to version 6.2.0.0, possibly? David Brooks (talk) 16:59, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- If a newer version is available then the updater should apply it when restarted. Keith D (talk) 17:01, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
