Hi Charles, I agree "friends' association" is not ideal as a translation of Förderverein - I took it from dict.cc - but even my Langenscheidt Muret-Sanders can't do any better than "society for the promotion of..." --Bermicourt (talk) 06:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe one of us (or someone else, even?) will wake up one morning with a better translation. I don't think it will be me, though. Sorry to jump all over the Neustadt entry while you're still in the middle of upgrading it. The upgrade is badly overdue. (I used, in another life, to live not too far away so take an interest. My more usual wiki-weakness involves cars.)

Hi Charles! Was editing a bit and realized that there is a great scarcity of pictures of Ford Escort vans - I made a Category but haven't found many pictures that fit in it. Do you perhaps have any good shots, I am particularly looking for Mk II and Mk III Escort Vans. Cheers,  Mr.choppers | ✎  00:24, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any to hand. But I'll keep an eye open. This is good (UK) Ford country, but when I've gone to old timer shows I've tended to jump on Anglia vans and overlook any (post 1968) Escort ones. I'll readjust my sensitivities for future reference, though. I guess Mk IIs and maybe Mk IIIs are plenty old enough to count as "classics" these days. It used to be >25 years old in Germany when you could register your car as an old timer and get certain tax privileges in return for certain restrictions, though I think it may have flipped up to >30 years old at some stage since then. I don't think they're so systematic in the UK. We're not so keen on rules here ... especially ones that do no obvious damage and seem to make sense.

For some years there was quite a good picture of an Escort van on the Escort entry, but it got removed. (No, it wasn't one of mine, but it was still fairly good....) I'll see if it is still to be found in Commons somewhere. If someone is going to built on (or set up as a separate entry ... whatever it is you have in mind) maybe it should be quietly returned to ... whereever. I see it's turned up in UK wiki on the Ford Union entry. Which just demonstrates that you never know what you're about to learn when you start clicking around. But now I look at the picture, I think it is probably several "marks" too modern to count as a direct answer to your request.

The VisualEditor team is currently working mostly to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. The design for each dialog box and window was simplified. The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them.

• Hidden HTML comments (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.
• You can now drag and drop text and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.
• All references and footnotes (<ref> tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Insert" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Insert" menu.
• When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an image caption immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.
• All tablet users visiting the mobile web version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.
• The link tool has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.
• The "Cancel" button in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables. Work to support Internet Explorer is ongoing.

Feedback opportunities

The Editing team will be making two presentations this weekend at Wikimania in London. The first is with product manager James Forrester and developer Trevor Parscal on Saturday at 16:30. The second is with developers Roan Kattouw and Trevor Parscal on Sunday at 12:30.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at the VisualEditor feedback page or by joining the office hours discussion on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 09:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East and Asia) or on Thursday, 18 September 2014 at 16:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Europe).

Good afternoon Charles01. Pleased with my pictures of some Dolomites I decided to renovate the article about them. I've added a section about a straight eight displayed at theMotor Show and then another larger bit of text about a road test by The Times staff. Then I put the existing text in what seemed to me a more sensible order. Because I see you made a big contribution at an early stage I thought you might like to take a look. I'm planning to add an engine infobox about the 1767cc engine. There needs to be some mention of the source of the name (Coupe des Alpes I think, or a predecessor and Cortina d'Ampezzo of the 1920s but I am a bit fuzzy about it) I gather it might be a wet day where you are or are you away, its holiday season isn't it? Best regards, Eddaido (talk) 11:02, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It all seems to be melding together quite well. I think Malcolm A did quite a lot on this entry and I certainly added stuff when I came across an enthusiastic piece in an old copy of Autocar. Anyhow, it all seems to cohere so that it is not very obvious who added which bits, which is good. The other bits you plan to add are beyond my immediately accessible knowledge, but if you have dug out the sources it sounds as if there is more interesting stuff to add. There is someone (maybe several someones) on German wiki who follows the Triumph pages quit carefully in English wiki, so that if you come back in twelve months it is quite possible you will find the added pictures and added text hijacked into German which is always pleasing.

Yes, it rained today. Overall I'm told it's been a good summer. We didn't get much winter so the wasps are likely to be bad these next few weeks. And the mice are turning up in the traps in the attic which may mean they know - which I did not - that Autumn will be early this year. Usually they stay in the fields till September: but the farmers have harvested quite a lot of the wheat ahead of the latest batch of thunder storms. We're not exactly away, but we did drive over to the Netherlands to see my mother in law a couple of days ago. I need a few days to recover from the early start these days when we do that sort of thing.

The article Philippe Klein has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Consider creating the article on your user page first, or using the {{newpage}} template. That would prevent your draft article from being CSD/PROD tagged whilst "only 10 minutes old" (Please note that I do not care how old an article is - if it doesn't fit the criteria without the {{newpage}} tag, it gets CSD/PROD tagged. If you don't like it, I refer back to the first sentence of this message). I refer you to this very helpful page. Osarius - Want a chat? 15:41, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Charles01,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hugo Dittberner for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

I looked through the revision history to find out who introduced the Morris Minor comparison and I came up with this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Triumph_Mayflower&diff=next&oldid=255458335
