WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

 * Thanks, just wanted to make sure it wasn't an imposter account. Mike V  •  Talk  05:00, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Good to hear. If you see any username related to me (except Special:CentralAuth/Revibot I and Special:CentralAuth/Revibot II - these are bot running on other wikis, enwiki account may exist with SUL), you can assume that's imposter of me. &mdash; Revi (Alt) (talk) 05:06, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of content
Hi Revi Today you deleted a paragraph I added to the topic "Children's Music". It was about the Australian children's music composer, Peter Combe. I should have mae a refernce to his Wikipedia page - Peter Combe. Is it possible that you could reinstate the paragraph? carolcombe [EMAIL ADDRESS REDACTED] Carolcombe (talk) 11:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Your paragraph should be referenced with reliable sources. &mdash; Revi 12:55, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Re: GANs
Is it sad that I am more aware of my on-wiki messages than off? I can't decide! Anyway, WP:GAN is a fun place to work, and we'd love another helping hand. I thought we had a new-reviewer academy program but I guess that has been discontinued. Essentially you pick an article you think will be fun to review (choose something really you're really interested in, don't get stuck reviewing a big boring one :) You don't need to be a content creator yourself but you do need to be somewhat familiar with the policies and guidelines. There are six good article criteria that must be met. We want to approve and help promote only articles that are of true quality, but they don't have to be perfect. WP:FAC is where things get difficult. If you want me to coach you through a review or two I'm happy to do so. You'll probably learn a lot just from observing/participating in other reviews as well. Full instructions are at Good article nominations/Instructions. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 07:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw WikiProject Korea/Article alerts had outstanding GANs waiting for review (Korean drama waiting for review since a long time ago...) and I thought I would do it, but I wanted to know what I need to know / what I have to do. Yeah, if you can coach me how to do reviews, that would be wonderful. My test has finished yesterday, so I will have free time until the end of this month... (Korean school semesters end in December, and starts in March) &mdash; Revi 08:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten about this. I've never collaborated on a review before, so this will be a first for us both. We can do Korean drama or any article of your choice. We can do our private talking over email, or here on your talk page – you decide. Feel free to go ahead and start the review process by hitting the "start review" link at WP:GAN. From there you can just hit save to secure yourself as the reviewer of that article. I sometimes add a preliminary comment too. Let me know when you've got it started and we'll proceed. Best &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 23:12, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll have free time on Thursday to Sunday. I'll set a reviewer soon and let you know. (Maybe we can have a dedicated page on userspace so (possible) watchers is not disturbed and we can use convinient wikisyntax... &mdash; Revi 04:34, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Doh! I kid you not, I will be on holiday this Thursday through Sunday. Not a problem though, there's no rush. PLENTY of unreviewed articles! Let's get in touch next week. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 05:28, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Meh.... Ok, no problem. Have a nice holiday! &mdash; Revi 07:25, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * And I'm observing your Talk:Scarborough (Metro-North station)/GA1 review :) &mdash; Revi 09:18, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi there...
Hey -revi. Just thought I'd leave a small note. When you're editing filters, it would be good if you could write down the date along with the notes that you're leaving. That allows future abusefilter editors to understand the lineage of the filter. Thanks, and good to see you around.  Wifione  Message 11:11, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Umm, no problem. Thanks for the tip! &mdash; Revi 11:20, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

WP:CHU username policy regarding promotional names
Regarding your comment here, the requested username is acceptable under our username policy, because it doesn't imply shared usage. While simply using a company name as a username is prohibited, using your name and "at company name" is okay. For example: "John Doe at Example Industries" is acceptable - it doesn't imply shared usage, but it does indicate that the user is an employee working for a company. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!

VisualEditor newsletter—December 2014


Did you know?

Basic table editing is now available in VisualEditor. You can add and remove rows and columns from existing tables at the click of a button.

The user guide has more information about how to use VisualEditor. Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.

VisualEditor was deployed to several hundred remaining wikis as an opt-in beta feature at the end of November, except for most Wiktionaries (which depend heavily upon templates) and all Wikisources (which await integration with ProofreadPage).

Recent improvements
Basic support for editing tables is available. You can insert new tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid  and   elements, instead of trying to repair them.

You can now use find and replace in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing  ⌃ Ctrl + F  or  ⌘ Cmd + F.

You can now create and edit simple  paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "" into a "".

Some new keyboard sequences can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing " *  " will make the line a bullet list; " 1.  " or " # " will make it a numbered list; " == " will make it a section heading; " : " will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change. There are also two other keyboard sequences: " [[ " for opening the link tool, and " {{ " for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like ⌃ Ctrl + K to open the link editor, still work.

If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red.

You can again create and edit galleries as wikitext code.

Looking ahead
VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme designed by the User Experience group. The new theme will be visible for desktop systems at MediaWiki.org in late December and at other sites early January. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" theme and the new "MediaWiki" one which will replace it.)

The Editing team plans to add auto-fill features for citations in January. Planned changes to the media search dialog will make choosing between possible images easier.

Help
If you would like to help with translations of this newsletter, please subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Subscribe or unsubscribe at Meta.

 * Translations of the user guide for most languages are oudated. Ukrainian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Dutch translators are nearly current. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language.
 * Talk to the Editing team during the office hours via IRC. The next session is on Wednesday, 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC.
 * File requests for language-appropriate "" and "" icons for the character formatting menu in Phabricator.
