USS Triton
Hi, Ed! Now that we have our kumbaya moment over the USS Triton (SSRN-586) article kerfuffle, it looks like the Mk 37 torpedo info has been reverted but not the 1956 ship authorization program. What should be done? All the best and thanks again! Marcd30319 (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

VisualEditor update

 * This note is only delivered to English Wikipedia subscribers of the visual editor's newsletter.

The location of the visual editor's preference has been changed from the "Beta" tab to the "Editing" section of your preferences on this wiki. The setting now says Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta. This aligns en.wiki with almost all the other WMF wikis; it doesn’t mean the visual editor is complete, or that it is no longer “in beta phase” though.

This action has not changed anything else for editors: it still honours editors’ previous choices about having it on or off; logged-out users continue to only have access to wikitext; the “Edit” tab is still after the “Edit source” one. You can learn more at the visual editor’s talk page.

We don’t expect this to cause any glitches, but in case your account no longer has the settings that you want, please accept our apologies and correct it in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences. Thank you for your attention, Elitre (WMF) -16:32, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

MOS:IDENTITY is being revisited: How should Wikipedia refer to transgender individuals before and after their transition?
You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy. The first addresses how the Manual of Style should instruct editors to refer to transgender people in articles about themselves (which name, which pronoun, etc.). The second addresses how to instruct editors to refer to transgender people when they are mentioned in passing in other articles. Your participation is welcome.

RAW
Hi,

I have lots to do IRL and some editors on the French Wikipedia turn me mad. Thus, before becoming unfriendly, I take a leave.

Regards,

 * I can understand that. I'm always here to vent if you need! If you're still looking to write, I'd always take your submissions at the Wikimedia blog (or would love more French translations, like of this new roundup that I'm hoping will supplement community news like RAW).
