Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I've been having an issue with Reflinks for a few months ago. I keep getting a python code error when I attempt to use it, and so have had to rely solely on Refill.

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

• Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
• Diversity winner
• Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-09-30T00:50:00.000Z","author":"Jamie Tubers","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Jamie_Tubers-2019-09-30T00:50:00.000Z-AfroCine:_Join_the_Months_of_African_Cinema_this_October!","replies":[]}}-->

Usually, after I run ref fill, the "Bare URL" notice is automatically removed. I assumed there was some problem (that I wasn't seeing) which caused it to not be removed. Frequently, someone else comes by, runs ref fill again, and fixes more references. I can't explain it. I don't know how or why, but I have seen it happen.

No worries 7&6=thirteen . I've found that there are several different bare url tags and refill isn't programmed to recognize all of them and that can cause them to get left after we've run it. Also the new "Refill 2" misses some that the old refill didn't. Cheers and happy editing to ya.

Thanks for sourcing the article; surely the best outcome. However I'm a little baffled as to how you would justify letting an unsourced BLP sit in main space just because the redirect seems suboptimal. What would have been your solution if no one had seen fit to go find sources? Our policies are pretty specific on avoiding this exact case. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:24, 14 October 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-10-14T22:24:00.000Z","author":"Elmidae","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Elmidae-2019-10-14T22:24:00.000Z-Jemma_Powell","replies":["c-MarnetteD-2019-10-14T23:05:00.000Z-Elmidae-2019-10-14T22:24:00.000Z"]}}-->

The redirect was completely baffling Elmidae. This morning I responded to Talk:An Adventure in Space and Time#Problem with a link and, as there is no immediate indication to why the link went to Jack's article, I found the removal of the redirect to be the one way to clear things up for the reader. I then got caught up in dealing with a large number of articles tagged with "bare url need fixing" templates. Mondays can be more than a little busy dealing with those. When I saw your revert I then went to work finding some refs. Please note that the only guideline listed at WP:RPURPOSE that could remotely be applied to JP's article is "Sub-topics or other topics which are described or listed within a wider article" and I did not see it as viable since her career is separate and apart from his and not mentioned in his article at all. Next be aware that sourced to IMDb is not completely unsourced it is just unreliably sourced. When you restored the redirect you returned the article to a state that was IMO suboptimal and that our policies are pretty specific about avoiding. The one thing that would have made the redirect marginally better is if, per MOS:SECTLINK, it had been to Jack Savoretti#Personal life and family then a reader would at least have seen Jemma's name. But that is not what happened. I would also note that their marriage is not sourced in that section and, thus, we are back to the same problem that started this. I do apologize if you find the tone of my reply harsh - that is not my intention. It is always difficult to cover everything in a typed response - especially when pressed for time. Best regards to you and thanks for all your work here at the 'pedia.

Congrats Redrose64!! Yep the numbers gap between editors grows the farther up the list we move.

So ... do you have some sort of magical version of Reflinks or something?? You seem to be able to catch/correct bare urls with Reflinks quite often ... that I cannot.

Hi Steel1943. Let's see if I can remember what I did there. If you take a look at this you will see a small box at the bottom of the editing field to the left. In this example it says "cite web" - if you click on the down arrow it will give you several other choices. When you click on one of them it will add the template around the reference but a few fields will be left blank. You can fill them in with the needed info before hitting save. Now my example isn't ideal since reflinks has supplied the full reference so you can use those when it just leaves a bare reference. I know I'm not very good at explaining these kinds of things in detail so my apologies if this is too confusing. Cheers.

Hmm ... I don't see any "small box". But it's probably because I'm using the mobile version of Reflinks which probably looks different than the desktop version. (I edit with the desktop version of Wikipedia on my mobile device, but it doesn't seem as though there's a way to view Reflinks' desktop version while using a mobile...)

Rats Steel1943. My example went away when I saved the edit. When reflinks runs you get a long rectangular box with the reference in it. Sometimes it is formatted and sometimes it isn't. The small white box I'm talking about is just below it too the left. Its default reads "simple" and then clicking on the arrow brings up the choices of cite templates. Hopefully this will make more sense next time you use reflinks.

Hi MarnetteD, noticed you did a refill for 5 bare references in the Dade County High School (Trenton, Georgia) article. You added dead link tags to three of them, however all of them work. Not sure if there could be something wrong with refill or maybe you made a mistake, but you added http again and a combination of percentages, numbers and letters. Anyway, just letting you know but don't worry about this as I'm currently sorting this article out, as the user who added an infobox has not done this correctly.

I am trying to explain Siihb, not to excuse their behavior. As I said on WP:ANI, and we will let an admin close that thread now that Siihb is quasi-banned, there are a few editors who perform the service of responding to edit requests by COI editors. They include Spintendo and opencooper. They are doing a thankless job of reviewing the edit requests by paid editors (often working for Beutler, a PR firm that does paid Wikipedia editing). The problem is apparently that Siihb is very anti-Huffman or anti-Reddit, and opencooper made a requested edit for Huffman's flack after reviewing it, and Siihb wasn't satisfied. I haven't reviewed the facts. I am inclined to think that opencooper probably was being neutral, because I can see that Siihb is no judge of neutrality. So Siihb thinks that anyone who agrees with opencooper and with Huffman is probably in the pay of Huffman. I think that Siihb wanted to put a Controversies section in the article. That is what I think. But that doesn't matter now that Siihb has been quasi-banned.

By the way, the other editor who services Beutler edit requests is Spintendo. About a year ago, Beutler had the absurd nerve to report Spintendo to WP:ANI for disagreeing with them as to some of their edit requests. That is because Spintendo really was being neutral. I thought that they were treating Spintendo like a paid employee who wasn't doing what they were told to do. A paid employee who doesn't follow instructions can be fired. Well, okay, then fire the volunteer and get someone else to review your stupid edit requests. Oh well.

Okay. The point is that Siihb might or might not have had a legitimate concern. On reviewing further, I think that I would have agreed that opencooper was being properly neutral.

To whom it may concern, Please stop removing my known works lists. You are following my edits, and if I happen to edit a "Known Works" list that already exists, you delete it entirely. You did this for Stephen Frears, Joel Schumacher, John G. Avildsen, Stephen Goldblatt, and several others. All 4 of these articles had "Known For" lists before I edited them, but the moment I did, you erased them. I think this is unfair, and am being singled out for no reason. There are plenty of authors, actors, directors, etc. with "Known works" lists, yet you don't erase them. Please stop singling me out, as I am doing nothing wrong. Why won't you get after the other users here who created those lists in the first place? If I'm violating a rule, why not punish the others too?

Yeah, but that still doesn't explain why you have been following/stalking my edits, and undoing them all, even if I am not "disrupting" anything. Also, you haven't explained why you only delete "Known For" or "Notable Works" lists if I work on them. Why not go and remove them from the articles on Charles Dickens or Martin Luther? It makes no sense.

Saw your edits on the Caligari page. Apologies, you are correct, I should've included an edit summary. If you think the Kracauer sentence should remain in the article, I'd encourage you to comment in the FAC.

Thanks for your message HK. I had forgotten that you were trying to get the article through FAC. If time permits I'll try to take a look at whether the mention can be adapted to fit. I guess I'm partial to Kracauer since I first read his work back in the 1970's. Speaking of which if you haven't seen this documentary about him and German cinema of the era you might find it of interest. I saw it on Netflix and it might be available in other places on the web.

Hi MarnetteD! I just wanted to message you regarding the edit summary that you left when reverting an IP user's edits to the Claire Danes article here. I know that it can be difficult to do at times (trust me, I know... lol) - especially in the face of someone whose clearly not complying with NPOV, but we want to try our best to use care when leaving edit summaries in these situations, and make sure that we're not leaving any that could frustrate, antagonize, anger, or motivate other users in the wrong or negative direction. This user likely read your edit summary, "nobody cares", and decided that it was okay to use their edit summaries to take a jab back at you in response (such as what the user did here and here). That's all; I just wanted to message you informally about it and give you some positive input. I hope you're having a great day, and I wish you happy editing. Until we meet again... ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:51, 19 November 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-11-19T00:51:00.000Z","author":"Oshwah","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Oshwah-2019-11-19T00:51:00.000Z-Claire_Danes","replies":["c-MarnetteD-2019-11-19T01:24:00.000Z-Oshwah-2019-11-19T00:51:00.000Z"],"displayName":"~Oshwah~"}}-->

Hello O. I am afraid I cannot agree with your assessment. The first and second edit summary before the one that you are discussing indicated a WP:RGW WP:POV warrior and the back and forth since then has only confirmed that to me. While there is no way to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt if I had not made that summary things would pretty much be the same there. While I understand where you are coming from I am saddened that you feel the need to lecture me as though I am some problematic editor.

MarnetteD, making you feel as if there was a need to "lecture you" or that you're "some problematic editor" was the very last thing that I wanted to present or make you feel in my message to you above. I saw the edits between yourself and the IP user, saw your edit summary and those that followed, and figured that I'd just message you about it informally. I'm sure you know me as someone who doesn't like to be seen as "that admin" who only lectures and annoys others and isn't respected by others... I saw the two edit summaries you mentioned that occurred before the edit summary you made. I should've mentioned this fact so that you didn't feel as if I thought you were the one who started things, and I apologize for that. The reason behind the message I left was to try and help keep the peace... that's all. I was certainly not trying to point fingers at you or present any "blame" at your doorstep. :-) I hope that my response has helped to clarify my intentions, and that it helps you to understand, and that it resolves any frustration that it may have caused upon you.

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Greetings esteemed MarnetteD, it is your IP editing colleague. I would ask that you perhaps give a moment's attention to the article Life-cycle assessment. At its very top it has a redirect, such that when individuals search "Cradle-to-grave", they are directed to this article. I believe this to be inappropriate and time-wasting. Individuals looking for "cradle-to-grave" most often will not be looking for this very specialised article on environmental economics, where the phrase "cradle to grave" has, in the hands of a few writers, functioned as an adjectival descriptor of its economic analytical aims. Rather, someone coming with just this phrase may be seeking any one of a number of its descriptive uses (and not certainly this environmental one). For this reason, people searching "cradle-to-grave" or "cradle to grave" should—in my opinion—be directed not directly to this article, but instead to the Cradle to the Grave (disambiguation) page, which in turn links to this page, but also to many others. Can you make this correction? I lack the technical expertise to do so. Thank you.

Query for Editor MarnetteD

Greetings, Colleague

Might I trouble you to re-view the content of the Leninism article? I have completed a clean-up whereby I removed anti-Communist easter eggs and off-topic false statements piggy-backed onto sources that do not substantiate such anti-communist pov-pushing vandalism.

Let me know, if you might, because I sense a looming edit-war.

Regards

• Looks like your sense of what to come was correct Chas. Caltrop. I do think your work has made the article more factual and less of a POV problem.

Marnette: in my ongoing quest to understand how Wikipedia actually works, I noticed this edit to prevent transclusion of an AfD. I was just curious to know what that will prevent? I find the whole transclusion thing like a black art.

Hello ThatMontrealIP. First off I find these when a page shows up in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates. Next in the case of AFDs they always transclude to other pages. In this specific case the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2018 September 8 showed up in that category but that page was not protected so I knew to go and find what page was transcluded to it as one of them had to have had a PP applied to it. That is what lead me to the Mikee Plastik AFD. By adding the noinclude that gets the Log page out of the category. Now, because my post only focuses on this one edit I know I haven't really answered your question - many apologies. You are right about it being a black art :-) You can wander through Wikipedia:Transclusion when you have some time. Perhaps Redrose64 or another of my talk page watchers can do a more informative job of filling you in. Best regards.

Thank you! This actually helps me understand it a bit more. It reminds me of object-oriented programing and how classes are extended.

I never did work that out. I once came across something like this

class c extends d
end_class;
class b extends c
end_class;
object a isa b
end_object

a whole series of classes that apparently did nothing, yet object a, when invoked, was apparently doing something.

Anyway, transclusion is where the content of one page is copied into another. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:11, 13 December 2019 (UTC) --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:11, 13 December 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-13T21:11:00.000Z","author":"Redrose64","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Redrose64-2019-12-13T21:11:00.000Z-ThatMontrealIP-2019-12-13T07:16:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

	I have a suggestion for your user page. Among the other information you have in there (this user is) you should write in your zodiac. Neomorph Xenomorph 04:24, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello NX. There are so many zodiacs to chose from. The western one, the Chinese, the Hindu, the native American. In the end I'm afraid I agree with Carl Sagan that the specific gravity of the OB-GYN who helped deliver me has more to do with who I am than far off stars and planets. Best regards.

Mvcg66b3r First you should read WP:AGF and then WP:DTTR before making an asinine post like this. First, when I ran reflinks it made the necessary fixes. For some reason not expressed in any edit summaries you reverted those and then restored one of them. You then restored the linkrot tag even though there are no longer any bare urls in the article. So I ran both reflinks and refill on that page and they both showed there was nothing to fix. Please learn what is and what is not a bare link before proceeding further.
