Tagging abandoned

When articles are tagged as abandoned, it is required to include the date as parameter 1. However, the easiest way to do this, is to just use {{subst:aband}} which will automatically add the date for you. Cheers, --SVTCobra 15:32, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Got it 2006nishan178713^t@lk 15:32, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

By the way, is 2021-22 Sunshine Coast Cricket Association Grand Finals get mixed results due to wet fields stale or is the event yet to happen? 2006nishan178713^t@lk 15:33, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I don't rightly know. It is a quite local league. Better to ask RockerballAustralia. Cheers, SVTCobra 16:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

@RockerballAustralia: 2006nishan178713^t@lk 16:40, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I think that article is abandoned. I could get to it later today my time with some added details from Saturday if I wasn’t already busy. —RockerballAustralia contribs 23:31, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Support for Ukraine

Hello. I thank you for your support for Ukraine and the link to the UN donation page. I have relations in Ukraine, so it is very dear to me and the humanitarian crisis breaks my heart and causes me endless worry. That being said, I need to caution you about something. The flag/map (File:Flag map of Ukrainian People's Republic.svg) includes a huge land mass (bottom right) which has never been part of any state bearing the name Ukraine. It looks like it includes modern-day Krasnodar Krai, Rostov Oblast, Stavropol Krai and more. Roughly, I think it corresponds to the Kuban People's Republic which over 100 years ago sought a union with Ukraine, but this was never realized.

Suffice it to say, this area is not territory which Ukraine claims and is not part of any modern dispute. I think this map would be deeply offensive to any Russian, including those opposed to the current war. I do not know the motivations of the person who created this map, but I suggest you don't use it. This File:Stop War in Ukraine (51904455977).jpg would be much better. Or a simple flag. There are probably countless other images on Commons you could use. Cheers, --SVTCobra 17:38, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting me. Every day after listening to the news about Ukraine, I feel really sad and concerned about the Ukrainian citizens. I hope the situation improves soon. 2006nishan178713^t@lk 17:47, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I wasn't correcting you, in my view, just informing you. Most people outside of South-Eastern Europe only have a vague idea of what the outline of Ukraine looks like. Cheers, --SVTCobra 18:28, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay, Thank you for informing me then. :) 2006nishan178713^t@lk 18:59, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

You are more than welcome! Слава Україні! --SVTCobra 19:31, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

BTW, if you really liked using an outline of Ukraine, here's one with the correct borders but without the words and bloody hand-print: File:Outline of Ukraine.svg. I just stumbled upon it. Cheers, --SVTCobra 23:00, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks nice 2006nishan178713^t@lk 04:14, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@SVTCobra, What are your views on this GSK rejects three Unilever bids to buy consumer healthcare arm, says unit was "fundamentally undervalued" as a featured article? Vote your choice at Wikinews:Featured article candidates 2006nishan178713^t@lk 18:48, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I know it is sitting there. I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, though. BTW, don't feed the troll. He craves attention. Here's an essay from our sister project. Cheers, SVTCobra 18:58, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Got it! 2006nishan178713^t@lk 19:03, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Re: Changes

Hi,

Please take care to review the changes I make and the edit summaries pre-publication. A lot of issues are repeated across articles, which get tedious to remove. For instance: unnecessary wikitext around infobox & sources; clunky wording around attributions.

Thank you for your diligence and your contributions. Recognise this comment is in the context of being a very good, capable writer thus far. JJLiu112 (talk) 18:59, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Sure will do 2006nishan178713^t@lk 03:18, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Creating categories

Hello. The rule of thumb for creating categories is that we have at least three articles that would be included in the category. Cheers, --SVTCobra 19:49, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know 2006nishan178713^t@lk 20:02, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Brooklyn subway shooting

Hi. I hope you didn't get personally insulted by my comments. I saw you moved the article all the way to "Story preparation/Brooklyn subway shooting suspect found guilty" ... this will probably take at least two years. I am sure there will be focal events before that, but if you want to wait, it is your decision. Cheers, --SVTCobra 04:49, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

No, that's alright, you have the right criticise my actions if I do something wrong. If there will be any focal event in the next few weeks, I will develop the article. Anyways, Happy Easter !!

2006nishan178713^t@lk 05:18, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

I was just about to say ...

... this indelible image is a real stamp created long before the Moskva sank. Well, "long" being the month of March, and inspired by the Attack on Snake Island. Yes, Western media is bringing it up again because now it is iconic. But it seems you recognized all this, so kudos to you. Cheers, --SVTCobra 06:44, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

I came to know about this stamp last week. 2006nishan178713^t@lk 07:05, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Best wishes for your studies and good luck on the exams

I am sorry I haven't had time for many reviews and just pop in for spam deletion. So, I am sad that PM Modi and the Director-General of WHO inaugurate the Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in India could not be published. It didn't help that it was 2 days old when initially submitted for review. All the best and cheers, --SVTCobra 17:42, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

@SVTCobra, Yep! I wrote that article really late. Anyways, thank you for your wishes. I am thinking of writing some more articles after my exams finish off in late May and then I will be out of town.
If you are wondering which exam I would give its the All India Secondary School Examination. If you are curious even more, here's the timetable- (https://www.cbse.gov.in/cbsenew/documents//ClassX_2022.pdf) Out of all these in the timetable, I will be sitting for only six subjects (we get choice)... 2006nishan178713^t@lk 17:54, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #21

Welcome to the twenty-first newsletter from the Growth team!

New project: Positive reinforcement

Mockup of the Impact module, redesigned to add Positive reinforcement.

• The Growth team started a new project: Positive reinforcement. We want newcomers to understand there is an interest in regularly editing Wikipedia, and we want to improve new editor retention.
• We asked users from Arabic, Bangla, Czech and French Wikipedia about their feedback. Some people participated at mediawiki.org as well.
• We summarized the initial feedback gathered from these community discussions, along with how we plan to iterate based on that feedback.
• The first Positive Reinforcement idea is a redesign of the impact module: incorporating stats, graphs, and other contribution information. This idea received the widest support, and we plan to start our work based on the design illustrated on the side.
• Please let us know what you think of this project, in any language.

For mentors

• We have worked on two new features, to inform them about the mentorship:
  • In the Mentor module, we now provide more information about the public nature of the mentors/newcomer relationship and the fact that talk pages are public.
  • We now allow newcomers to opt-in and opt-out of mentorship.

Scaling

• "Add a link" available at more wikis ― Add a link feature has been deployed to more wikis: Catalan Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Abkhazian Wikipedia, Achinese Wikipedia, Adyghe Wikipedia, Afrikaans Wikipedia, Akan Wikipedia, Alemannisch Wikipedia, Amharic Wikipedia, Aragonese Wikipedia, Old English Wikipedia, Syriac Wikipedia, Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia, Asturian Wikipedia, Atikamekw Wikipedia, Avaric Wikipedia, Aymara Wikipedia, Azerbaijani Wikipedia, South Azerbaijani Wikipedia. This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure locally how this feature works.
• "Add an image" available at more wikis ― Add an image feature will be deployed to more wikis: Greek Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Chinese Wikipedia. These communities will be able to configure locally how this feature works. [1]

Suggested edits

• Selecting topics ― We have created an "AND" filter to the list of topics at Special:Homepage. This way, newcomers can decide to select very specific topics ("Transportation" AND "Asia") or to have a broader selection ("Transportation" OR "Asia"). At the moment this feature is tested at pilot wikis.
• Changes for Add a link ― We have built several improvements that came from community discussion and from data analysis. They will be available soon at the wikis.
  • Algorithm improvements ― The algorithm now avoids recommending links in sections that usually don't have links and for first names. Also, it now limits each article to only having three link suggestions by default (limited to the highest accuracy suggestions of all the available ones in the article).
  • User experience improvements ― We added a confirmation dialog when a user exits out of suggestion mode prior to making changes. We also improved post-edit dialog experience and allow newcomers to browse through task suggestions from the post-edit dialog.
  • Community configuration ― We allow communities to set a maximum number of links per article via Special:EditGrowthConfig.
  • Future change for Add a link feature ― We will suggest underlinked articles in priority. [2]
• Patrolling suggested edits ― Some users at Arabic Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, and Russian Wikipedia told us that "Add a link" and "Add an image" edits can be challenging to patrol. We are now brainstorming improvements to help address this challenge. We have already some ideas and we started some work to address this challenge. If you have any thoughts to add about the challenges of reviewing these tasks or how we should improve these tasks further, please let us know, in any language.

Community configuration

Communities can configure how the features work, using Special:EditGrowthConfig.

• Communities can set the maximum number of "add an image" suggested tasks a newcomer can complete daily. [3]
• Future change: allow communities to customize the "add a link" quality gate threshold easily, using Special:EditGrowthConfig. [4]
