Seeing a lot of The Anomebot2's edits being reverted on my watchpage. Not sure if this is due to a problem, and if so, if you know about it.

@Thewolfchild: Thanks for the report! I've browsed the article list a bit at random, and a lot of the removals of the tag seems to be the amazing Deor at work, replacing them with coordinates. I've also reverted a few others which were matching algorithm misfires, created when I loosened the bot's constraints a little bit too far. Can you give me examples of any others you have seen? -- The Anome (talk) 14:26, 11 March 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-03-11T14:26:00.000Z","author":"The Anome","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Anome-2019-03-11T14:26:00.000Z-Thewolfchild-2019-03-11T00:05:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I've been undoing some of the bot's edits (as at America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins) that The Anome failed to catch. Many of them seem to have been the result of recently added categories that confused the bot.

Yes. I relaxed some of the bot's false-positive-filtering heuristics as an experiment, to try to get rid of some of the false negatives and get more coverage, but it generated many more false positives than I expected, so I quickly stopped it. I thought I'd reverted them all, but I was wrong. Thanks, Deor, for cleaning up after my error: I will be more careful in future. -- The Anome (talk) 17:13, 11 March 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-03-11T17:13:00.000Z","author":"The Anome","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-The_Anome-2019-03-11T17:13:00.000Z-Deor-2019-03-11T17:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Thewolfchild-2019-03-11T21:48:00.000Z-The_Anome-2019-03-11T17:13:00.000Z","c-Deor-2019-03-12T01:05:00.000Z-The_Anome-2019-03-11T17:13:00.000Z"]}}-->

How do you archive pages? I have stuff on my talk page that dates back 11 years and its getting so cluttered I cannot read it since I can't read large blocks of text due to a visual spatial condition I have.

@Saturn star: If you put the following at the top of your talk page using the "source edit" mode, this should sort it:

{{User:MiszaBot/config

| archive             = {{SUBST:FULLPAGENAME}}/Archive %(counter)d

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

Hello. I have edited List of universities in Singapore recently and noticed that right after I made a change to remove links as Wikipedia is not a place for advertisements, a new account was made, this time with the name User:Officer8 which looks like my name. I suspect it is a sockpuppet of User:SingaporeUniversity because he was just blocked and went straight to undoing my revert on the latter user.

As you've probably noticed, I monitor your bot's edits to find new(ish) articles that need coordinates, so that I can add them wherever possible. Although you've been running the bot every month or so for quite a long time, it's been almost three months since the last run, and I'm just wondering, Is there some problem with the bot or perhaps some other reason for the delay?

A tag has been placed on Category:Advertising agencies of Brazil requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

A tag has been placed on Category:Marketing companies of Brazil requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Please change the block of Oxygensolutions from soft block to hard block as its an obvious vandalism-only account created by one of the persistent vandal IPs in the series—IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, who does repeated targeted vandalism at popular Mohanlal films by deliberately reducing the financial data disregarding sources.

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Every article has a pencil icon at the top. Tap on the pencil icon to start editing.

Edit Cards

This is what the new Edit Cards for editing links in the mobile visual editor look like. You can try the prototype here: 📲 Try Edit Cards.

Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.

Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:

Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?

If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.

Follow these instructions and share your experience:

📲 Try Edit Cards.

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team has recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:

1. Section editing
   • The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
   • The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
2. Loading overlay
   • The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.

This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

• Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲Try Edit Cards.
• Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
• Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
• Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use.  The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

• Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to them about how editing can be improved.
• Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

@Simonm223, Ivanvector, and ValentinesDay88: I looked briefly at the editor's contributions, and I don't think there's a watertight case for the name being a "1488" reference instead of just an unfotunate coincidence. However, if the combination of the username and their editing pattern tips things over the threshold for believing it to be a 1488 reference, then I agree, it's an easy block. Can you give me some examples of concerning/suspect edits I should have taken into account here? -- The Anome (talk) 21:47, 15 July 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-07-15T21:47:00.000Z","author":"The Anome","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-The_Anome-2019-07-15T21:47:00.000Z-Am_I_in_trouble?","replies":["c-Simonm223-2019-07-15T23:50:00.000Z-The_Anome-2019-07-15T21:47:00.000Z"]}}-->

Sure, here's some diffs of concern.

1. [74] Added Acid throwing to the see also on Milkshaking.
2. [75] Reverted it back in after it was removed.
3. [76] Added this rather contrary to WP:NPOV statement to Antifa (United States).
4. [77] Reverted it back in again after it was removed.
5. [78] Made a similar revision to Redneck Revolt. Note that this individual was not a member of Redneck Revolt though he was a former member of its prececessor organization John Brown Gun Club. However far-right publications like Daily Caller have made efforts to conflate the group with him regardless of this distinction.
6. [79] Reverts the edit back in after it is removed.

So here's the situation. We have a new user who pops up and makes 24 gnomish edits over four days before changing over to almost exclusively editing articles about antifascists in the United States. IE: Just enough time to get autoconfirmed status. Despite the user being brand-new to Wikipedia, they seem to be aware of WP:1RR level sanctions that often apply to DS affected political subjects. Their username is a coded reference to the Fourteen Words - though they (of course) deny it. The user's userpage space honestly seems like something a channer would dream up as cover. This pattern of behaviour is pretty blatant, and honestly I'm suspicious based on their edit history that they're a sock, though I wouldn't hazard a guess as to whose they are. Now a new user born on February 14 1988 just happening to stumble upon a combination that accidentally alludes to one of the most infamous white supremacist slogans is unlikely, but not impossible. A new user born on February 14 1988 creating that username and then immediately making POV slanting edits to articles about antifascism upon achieving autoconfirmed status pushes the bounds of credulity too far.

COINTELPRO is not known in Italy and the wikipedia edition page is proof of this. I had translated the page from English to Italian, but it was censored, I think for fear of consequences. It is important that you translate COINTELPRO also into Italian. In fact, a film about Jean Seberg will be released in theaters. Jean Seberg was a victim of COINTELPRO. You can use this draft to get started, I will suggest the changes to be made to it in this discussion (if you want). https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COINTELPRO&oldid=106874991 this is the link of my request to administrators of wikipedia, it was censored too. https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Admin-Bot&oldid=106892492

Gent. Amministratore, mi rivolgo a te per dei problemi che sto avendo nella rettifica di una pagina di Wikipedia a causa dell’ostracismo di alcuni utenti, pagina che non corrisponde ai requisiti di Wikipedia in quanto la voce è più scarna di quella di un dizionario ed in quanto mero copiato di qualche riga della versione inglese, decontestualizzate tra l’altro : la pagina da rettificare è : https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COINTELPRO la mia modifica è : https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COINTELPRO&oldid=106874991 la discussione è: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:212.171.112.244

Tenendo presente che tu puoi non prendere in considerazione la mia modifica, ti chiedo quanto meno di occupartene o delegare la sua rettifica a degli utenti esperti (anche in ambito giuridico). La pagina originale è nell’edizione inglese. Come potrai anche tu constatare gli argomenti sono delicati sia per i contenuti che per gli attori coinvolti. Inoltre essendoci state delle vittime delle precisazioni sono dovute. In sintesi cointelpro era una operazione dell’FBI con la collaborazione di altri dipartimenti USA ufficialmente chiusa in quanto ritenuta illegale per i suoi metodi, ma probabilmente tali metodi sono imitati ed eseguiti in altre operazioni. L’argomento deve essere trattato onde evitare che tali episodi si verifichino nuovamente, specialmente in un periodo già abbastanza turbato dalle rivelazioni di Snowden sui metodi di sorveglianza illegale. Sarà peraltro affrontato nel nuovo film su Jean Seberg, vittima COINTELPRO, con Kristen Stewart nel ruolo di protagonista. Wikipedia in questo caso informa semplicemente l’utente dell’esistenza di tale operazione e di tali metodi (per quanto possano essere ritenuti assurdi ed ideati da deviati). Inoltre come potrai constatare la pagina in inglese è stata approvata e documentata con ben 119 note.

Fatto: La pagina era stata da me precedentemente modificata e rettificata, nel pieno rispetto delle linee guida di Wikipedia e della licenza GNU, in quanto fuorviante, priva di immagini, contenuti e di documenti a supporto ed ottenuta da una errata e scarna traduzione automatica dell’omonima pagina dell’edizione inglese (come se il COINTELPRO fosse solo un’operazioncina sotto copertura dell’FBI e non ci fossero state delle vittime). Successivamente la mia modifica è stata censurata da un utente e ripristinata nel suo stato originale ovvero con le qualità sopra descritte per improprio senso del dovere od appartenenza ad ideologie in contrasto con i contenuti da me pubblicati e documentati. Ho quindi provveduto ad una nuova modifica e rettifica sempre nel pieno rispetto delle linee guida di Wikipedia e della licenza GNU attraverso l'ausilio della mera traduzione (non automatica) dell'omonima pagina dell'edizione inglese di Wikipedia di venerdì 26 luglio 2019. Preciso che gli iperlink spesso indirizzano l'utente verso l'edizione inglese di Wikipedia in quanto le voci nell'edizione italiana sono inesistenti o semplici abbozzi. Di conseguenza è possibile correggere o modificare, secondo le linee guida di Wikipedia e della licenza GNU, i suddetti iperlink in un secondo momento ovvero quando tale disguido sarà risolto, senza inficiare la qualità della pagina stessa, né tanto meno censurarla parzialmente o integralmente rimuovendone i contenuti, ribadisco, per improprio senso del dovere od appartenenza ad ideologie in contrasto con i contenuti ivi pubblicati. Difatti, preciso nuovamente, gli argomenti trattati non solo sono complessi e delicati per la loro natura in sé, ma in quanto espressi anche attraverso definizioni legali ed amministrative tipiche del Common Law per cui il riferimento alle voci dell'edizione inglese di Wikipedia diviene necessario per una comprensione esaustiva dell'utente.

Le linee guida di Wikipedia e la licenza GNU: I contenuti da me pubblicati sono sotto piena licenza GNU. Wikipedia non consente l’uso di iperlink che reindirizzano l’utente l’edizione inglese, ma in questo caso ciò è dovuto a mio parere in quanto le voci nell'edizione italiana sono inesistenti o semplici abbozzi e gli argomenti trattati non solo sono complessi e delicati per la loro natura in sé, ma in quanto espressi anche attraverso definizioni legali ed amministrative tipiche del Common Law. D'altro canto la versione precedente non rispetta ugualmente le linee guida di Wikipedia per due ragioni: 1) in quanto mero copiato di qualche riga della versione inglese, decontestualizzate ovvero COINTELPRO è stata ridimensionata ad un’operazioncina sotto copertura dell’FBI senza vittime 2) la voce in questione è più scarna di quella di un dizionario.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.247.98.48 (talk • contribs)

This was an error. {{coord missing}} is a marker that an article is probably eligible for geocoding. In this case, it was because the article was marked with Category:Buildings and structures in the Metropolis of Lyon, which was sufficient to convince the Anomebot that it had a specific location. This is clearly wrong in this case, so I've reverted the edit. -- The Anome (talk) 17:20, 5 August 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-08-05T17:20:00.000Z","author":"The Anome","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-The_Anome-2019-08-05T17:20:00.000Z-Jan_olieslagers-2019-08-05T17:16:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jan_olieslagers-2019-08-05T17:22:00.000Z-The_Anome-2019-08-05T17:20:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thanks for quick reply and action. Still I am left a bit baffled: what is geocoding (in the Wikipedia context) and what is the good of it? Excuse me for stupidity...

If you look at an article like London, New York, or most other individual populated places (and also many structures and landmarks) you will notice that the article has latitude/longitude coordinates visible. If you click on those, it will take you to a map showing the location. The geocodes also have numerous other uses, for example in cross-referencing Wikipedia articles with entities in other databases and to provide geographic browsing of Wikipedia. You can find out more at the project page Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. -- The Anome (talk) 17:27, 5 August 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-08-05T17:27:00.000Z","author":"The Anome","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-The_Anome-2019-08-05T17:27:00.000Z-Jan_olieslagers-2019-08-05T17:22:00.000Z","replies":["c-Jan_olieslagers-2019-08-05T17:35:00.000Z-The_Anome-2019-08-05T17:27:00.000Z"]}}-->

I am well aware of the coordinates given, actually I am a regular user of the facility. But I had no idea there was some kind of automaton to add them; nor does it seem a very good idea to me to try and have one. But who would I be to meddle? Thanks again!

You're welcome: I'm glad you find them useful. There's actually a whole loosely-coupled ecosystem of bot operators, database maintainers, and human editors all working away at putting these coordinates in and checking them: we are up to a million articles now, and we're still going as Wikipedia grows ever larger. -- The Anome (talk) 18:24, 5 August 2019 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-08-05T18:24:00.000Z","author":"The Anome","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-The_Anome-2019-08-05T18:24:00.000Z-Jan_olieslagers-2019-08-05T17:35:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team would value your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

• On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
• There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
• Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

• In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
  • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
  • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
  • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
• Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

• Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
• Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
• Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: The Editing team hopes to share results in November. This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.
