Recent changes
 * On Wikidata, the "" button when you edit is now called "". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "" to "". This is to help new editors understand what it does.
 * Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways.
 * Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki.
 * Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated.

Problems
 * Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem.
 * With the new filters in the recent changes, "" in "" did not work for "" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again.
 * The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see  instead of   even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March).
 * Octicons-tools.svg Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis.
 * The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
 * Octicons-tools.svg WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: . All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed.

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

 * Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default. Administrators of wikis where this extension is enabled can add and remove this permission to or from themselves. Wikis that used a different configuration before have not changed.
 * Octicons-tools.svg There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development.

Problems

Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg A few hundred wikis with less than ten high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 31 January. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018.

Some sort of RfC proposal
Hello. I saw your discussion over at the WikiProject Cricket talk page last October here. I can see that there was no cooperation for a good faith discussion by Cricket project members. I tried to find the WP:AN discussion that you handed off to, but was unable to find it. Do you have link for that? In any case, I would like to create wording for an RFC that is going to change or get rid of WP:NCRIC and WP:CRIN.

The project members there obviously have no desire to be in agreement with reasonable Notability criteria and GNG. I am wondering if we could confer on wording for an RfC so we can get this out to the community and have some changes. I might invite one other editor to participate if we can get started. Let me know what you think. Thanks. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 06:34, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I started on an RfC at User:Power~enwiki/sandbox/rfc before the holidays, but haven't had a chance to look at it (or the WT:N/WT:NSPORT discussions) for a few weeks. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 19:59, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

AfD close
Hi. Could you reconsider restating your close rationale at Articles_for_deletion/Idaho–Idaho_State_football_rivalry? I'm not contesting the "keep", just your rationale about no rule about local coverage. The main argument seems to be that there is enough significant coverage to meet GNG. Local coverage (not to confused with one argument about local interest ) was not a major theme in the AfD. As a reminder, WP:NACD advises: "Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to admins." Again, I'm not suggesting an overturn of your decision, just a tweak of the rationale. Thanks in advance.—Bagumba (talk) 02:22, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll expand my note. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 02:30, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my AfD
Hi there! Thanks for moving my AfD on Mark Tatum to a RfD for me. I usually stick to editing pages themselves and don't often do more complicated things like nominate deletions, so I'm not entirely familiar with the processes yet. Thanks for your help! --Andymii (talk) 03:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Joey Gibson (political activist) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Joey Gibson (political activist) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Joey Gibson (political activist) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

On ReleaseTheMemo
(note Articles for deletion/ReleaseTheMemo)

I still believe this is not a reasonable topic for an encyclopedia article at this time. Apparently the community still feels that, due to it being mentioned repeatedly in partisan news sources, it meets WP:GNG.

Overall, it's on-its-face obvious to me that the sources are not secondary sources, they are contemporary news articles. Beyond that, the content is speculative in nature, and alternating between blatantly partisan points of view; either "it's a Russian op" or "it's a memo that will change the political landscape".

Regardless, I'm confident this article will not exist in 10 years time. It probably won't exist in 1 year's time. If the "memo" is released and is notable in any way, it will have an article and ReleaseTheMemo will be merged there. If nothing happens, it should get merged to an article such as Social media hysterias during the Trump administration. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 19:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I hear "#TheUndateables" is trending. Perhaps we need an article on that too. The more AfDs I see, the more I tend toward deletionism. O3000 (talk) 22:11, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

 * If you want an encyclopedia without Shakespeare, you're welcome to build it without me. I look forward to bringing an ARBCOM case if that's considered a civility violation. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 03:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Argument placement
In my view, your argument in the new RfC should be in your !vote. Not to say that there is any consistency in that, and I wouldn't even bring it up if I didn't know you're capable of receiving such suggestions in the constructive way they are intended. The use of RfCs leaves a lot of room for improvement in general, in my opinion. If you disagree with the suggestion, fine. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  03:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I put it where I did intentionally, but I'm not certain it's the right spot. I didn't feel I could summarize my position briefly enough to put it at the top without biasing the discussion. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 03:16, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see a problem with a !vote of that length. If you do, you could summarize the longer rationale and end with "See elaboration in Discussion", or something. But the longer !vote wouldn't bias the discussion any more than the first !vote in any RfC, and somebody has to be first. The main thing for me is that a !vote should state an argument, and "as nom" by itself is not an argument. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  03:21, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, you've convinced me. Comment moved. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 03:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Excellent, thanks. The neutrality thing applies to what comes before the !voting, and even that is ignored half the time. &#8213; Mandruss  &#9742;  03:26, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Second (SI unit)
You have undone my splitting of the article second, which referred to a clock time second, and has flip/flopped back and forth between this topic and that of an SI second, which is not the same thing. Since the contention cannot be resolved, and it is a shame that it can't, I've split the article for SI second off into its own article. While there is considerable duplication of content between the articles, I don't care about the article for second (SI unit), let someone else eliminate the duplication there. At least they have a place to work, and the article with title 'second' can be free of interference. So I am going to undo your redirect of 'second (SI unit)' to article 'second', and restore the article I split off. Sbalfour (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Feel free to revert for now. I'm not sure how there's a need for separate articles; I'll comment on the talk page when I have more time to look at this. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 23:28, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-06
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to.
 * The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language.
 * Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded.

Problems
 * Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this.

Changes later this week
 * When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users.
 * When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like . You could use   or   instead of   but it would make no difference. You can now only use   or nothing . If you write something else, instead of treating it like , it will not work.
 * The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of  or   it will say   and  . It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public.
 * Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings

Realtor.com draft
Greetings, Power~enwiki. On behalf of Move, I am still looking for a neutral editor to assist with reviewing a proposed draft to replace the current Realtor.com article. I have made many improvements and trims to the draft I put forth back in September, based on feedback from a few editors. I see you are an active editor and member of WikiProject Companies. I am curious if you might be willing to take a look at the proposed draft and copy over content appropriately. If not, I will try to find other WikiProject Companies participants who may be able to help. Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: New Year Backlog Drive results:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
 * We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
 * We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
 * Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

PROD BLP
This was not eligible for a PROD BLP. Regards, Sam Sailor 13:45, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Nellie Bowles
Hello, Power~enwiki,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Nellie Bowles should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Nellie Bowles.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Mario is or Mario Is: A post-move discussion
Your talk page appears to be the appropriate location to restart the post-move of the Mario is Missing! article.

I came across an inconsistency in the capitalization between 'is' and 'Is'. When I investigated further, I found it difficult to determine which is correct as most references to this game display the title in ALL CAPS, with the Wikipedia community ultimately deciding to capitalize the 'i' as a standard format.

However, on the back of the box, the game is clearly printed as "Mario is Missing!" with the 'i' lowercase, and it is standard title formatting whether music recording, movie, or video game, to lowercase the word 'is'. Thus, there is sufficient evidence that the Mario Is Missing! article incorrectly capitalizes the 'i'.

I with the move of capitalizing 'Is', though the original discussion has closed. I therefore request to reopen the discussion, citing that the fore mentioned arguments hadn't been properly addressed before the decision was finalized.

Thank you for your time and consideration of this issue. Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I think the best approach would be to create a new requested move based on your arguments. Your claim doesn't contradict that MOS:CT says that "is" should be capitalized.  Re-opening an RM that has been closed for over a week isn't something that I'm going to do here. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply.
 * I already attempted to move the article once, but my request was auto-rejected, stating the page already existed and that I would need admin approval to proceed. That's as far as I got when I decided to dig a little deeper into the matter (and how I found my way here); I didn't feel using the Undo feature on your previous article move would be a prudent first-step. If you can point me to the page/process for admin-assisted article move requests, I would appreciate that.
 * Christopher, Sheridan, OR (talk) 05:22, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * See WP:RM, specifically Requested_moves. You simply need to add the template with your rationale to a new section on the talk page. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 05:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-07
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator.
 * Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week
 * You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages.
 * The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates.
 * The abuse filter extension has a new feature  that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Smart mattress
I redirected Eight Smart Mattress to Eight Sleep, and moved the smart mattress redirect to its own page as a stub. Do you think it should be renamed to Smart bed? It could be a potential article. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 20:29, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed.
 * You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table.

Problems
 * Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed.
 * Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like   are not visible in the references list whilst editing.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Toothless tiger
Whilst I agree that User:203.122.226.126 (talk) is a disruptive pain, I'm puzzled by what you think you might be achieving by posting this on their talk page.

Parliament post discusion
First of all forgiveness for having edited without control.

You are right in that in the section of Origines it is good to name the Nordic parliaments, but in my opinion they can not be considered the first ones. I have read the sources, and they do not have the same validity as UNESCO.

The first source you have put is a web page about Nordic history, but that does not ensure that they were really the first parliament. The second source is a PDF that only states that they were the first, but that says absolutely nothing, it is not an old document or historical proof, and the same happens with the Sicilian Parliament (discussed further in the discussion box) and with the remaining Nordic Parliament, are unreliable sources. And the first paragraph directly lacks a source, you can not take that as true, either.

The UNESCO organization through the Leon Decree (which are old documents) affirms that it was the first Parliament that is known today in an officially documented manner.

 * Nothing to do with you. When dealing with new editors who are complaining at AN/ANI, I sometimes find it useful to make clear to them that I definitely can't help even if I wanted to. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 01:37, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting and thank you. Yes, that makes sense. I had added the nac tag to a closure above, which I think is appropriate and can be helpful as well, and was reverted so I thought it might be related. I guess not everybody is out to get me ;), cheers, --Malerooster (talk) 01:45, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * My generic ANI advice is: "Nobody has ever helped their own cause in any way by participating at ANI. Even non-controversial edits have a way of getting people into trouble." power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 01:47, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * lol, very true. As "they" say, no good deed goes unpunished. --Malerooster (talk) 02:08, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

HA!
Ok, so your typo fix was obviously.... well fuck that anyway: Does the community consider it cool for me to make a fix like that on a closed AN/I? I lurk it a couple times a week, but I'm not trying to be a real participant until I get a much better handle on this. Gabriel syme (talk) 06:27, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's generally discouraged to edit other people's comments, though if it's prominent and annoying enough nobody will object. Also: "Nobody has ever helped their own cause in any way by participating at ANI. Even non-controversial edits have a way of getting people into trouble." power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 06:29, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That"s fair. I just scan those closing summaries and I hate to see an easy typo in them, those people are some of the true soldiers, I want them to look good. Gabriel syme (talk) 06:39, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

About ZenCash Notability
There is confusion between ZenCash and ZCash because although both come from the same branch and use the same zk-SNARKs protocol, they have differences in their configuration, the main difference is  ZenCash is focused on encrypting messages and publishing data.

For the development of this article I used the article published by the Univerisity of South Carolina.

https://www.sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/moore/about_the_moore_school/news/2017/zencash.php

Here, they explain the reason why Zen Cash is innovative giving a unique service to messaging and data-sharing.

''“What we’re trying to do is not only create a system that allows for secure and anonymous transactions, but also extend that to messaging and data-sharing, which has never been done before,” she said. “The entire point of the Zen system is to allow any sort of data, monetary or otherwise, to be transacted in a secure, near-instantaneous way.”''

As many other Wikipedia Cryptocurrencies articles as Bitcoin; I use the White Paper as the main reliable article to obtain information about its foundation. This strictly follows the info-box cryptocurrency template proposed by Wikipedia.

 * Checkusers and stewards can now view private data such as the IP address in the abuse log. This data is removed regularly.

Problems
 * Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug.
 * Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed.
 * Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated.

Changes later this week
 * Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Wikinews wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 27 February. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 1 March (calendar).

Meetings

very much my bad
That is absolutely on me for not reading the big fat notice at the top of the page. Thanks for reverting my mistake. Um, I hope it's not out of line, is the argument sound? How could archiving those sources slow down performance? Gabriel syme (talk) 06:56, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure of the exact details. At some point the text editor starts to lag based on the amount of wiki text.  As a rule of thumb, I try to keep pages under 350KB if at all possible.  There's also increased bandwidth for readers, but that's generally trivial. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 07:00, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's fair, I've noticed when I have to edit a lead (editing the entire article source, is there a way to edit the lead as it's own section?), I do get massive slowdown on big articles. Admittedly, my system is pretty antiquated... oh wait that's why. I would be interested in the gritty details though. Gabriel syme (talk) 07:10, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

G.One (character)
Yes, of course the character can be included in Ra.One page, but all of its superpowers won't be detailed in another page. Thus, the article deserves a separate page, overall it is a fictional superhero that appeared in a film and video games and many of such characters have separate pages (even shorter that not includes superpowers, design and personality section).

 * You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page.
 * On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it.

Recent changes
 * 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons.
 * Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made.
 * Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be [ tagged] for review.
 * Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab.

Problems
 * The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC).

Speedy deletion declined: Matt Van Komen
Hello Power~enwiki. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Matt Van Komen, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: claims significance, has 250+ GNews hits, use WP:AFD instead. Thank you. <b style="color:#7A2F2F; font-variant:small-caps">So</b><b style="color:#474F84; font-variant:small-caps">Why</b> 10:12, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The claim of significance I saw (roughly, appearing in a "notable" high school basketball game) wasn't credible IMO. However, being 7'5 tall probably is.  I probably won't bother with AfD despite WP:CRYSTAL; the page would be re-created soon anyway. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 15:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

PCR & Rollbacker
Hello Power~enwiki. Your account has been [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3A granted] the "rollbacker" and "pending changes reviewer" user rights. These user rights allow you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes and quickly revert the edits of other users.


 * Rollback user right
 * Please keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin).


 * Pending changes reviewer user right
 * The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection enabled is located at Special:StablePages. You may find the following pages useful to review:
 * Reviewing pending changes, the guideline on reviewing.
 * Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes.
 * Protection policy, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of reviewer or rollback. If you no longer want either of these user rights, contact me and I'll remove it, alternatively you can leave a request on the administrators' noticeboard.

Ezidkhan (autonomous region)
See Articles for deletion/Autonomous Region of Ezidkhan and my talk page. There have been some confirmed socks involved in the past but the current article's creator isn't one of them. What's particularly annoying is that I admire the Yazidi struggle greatly, but using Wikipedia this way isn't appropriate. I'm on my iPad right now which I hate to use for editing and haven't compared the new version with the old, but it still doesn't seem to have sources newer than. Last September which is odd if this is really notable  Doug Weller  talk 06:16, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It's virtually identical to the one deleted at Articles for deletion/Autonomous Region of Ezidkhan(see the NORN discussion I link to there) which was created by a sock. There's a lovely attack on my talk page too. I seem to have offended all the mapmaker experts on Wikipedia while supporting genocide. Doug Weller  talk 08:47, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Your suggestion of a site ban for my account
Hello,

You said that you would support a site ban for my account if I didn't "drop" a metaphorical "stick". I though fail to see where I would have violated any guideline, or in any other way disturbed the community. All I want to do is not to be called an ass, a jerk, an idiot or silly. In other words, my aim is not to be insulted, even though I'm not part of the community anymore. Hence, I would like to ask you to explain why you would support a ban, because I fail to understand your motive. --Mathmensch (talk) 07:16, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details.
 * Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.
