Speedy deletion declined: Draft:EMS Agenda for the Future
Hello Amkgp. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:EMS Agenda for the Future, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Content is from a Us gov site, meaning it's in public domain. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️Talk🌴Help out at CCI! 19:52, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Problems
 * All queries to the Wikidata Query Service failed between 17:50 and 17:59 UTC on Thursday 23 July. Some queries failed during a longer period.
 * Interlanguage links were ordered incorrectly for the past few weeks. This problem was also mentioned in Tech News two weeks ago. The problem is now fixed.
 * There is a problem with the global preferences for the "" option. Developers are working on fixing it.
 * A bug in the Wikibase extension had disabled the "move" and "create" types of protection in the main (Gallery) namespace on Wikimedia Commons. New protections could not be added, and existing protections were not enforced, allowing some page moves and page creations that should not have been possible. This has now been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * The video player will change to be simpler and more modern. This week, the current beta feature will become the video player for everyone on most non-Wikipedia wikis. The old player will be removed.
 * Users'  and   pages will now also be loaded on the mobile site. You can read documentation for how to avoid applying styles to the mobile skin.
 * Octicons-tools.svg In the MonoBook skin, the  identifier is now  . This may affect CSS and JS gadgets. Migration instructions can be found in T255953. This was previously mentioned in issue 27.

Recent changes
 * FileImporter and FileExporter became standard features on all Wikis during the first week of August. They help you transfer files from local wikis to Wikimedia Commons with the original file information and history intact.

Changes later this week

Request on 18:43:15, 10 August 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Sachinrp
I am not sure what Amkgp is looking for. In my first draft, the article was rejected because the reviewer felt that it was copy from the main church site. What I dont understand is, how can facts be stated differently? Let me take an example of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi There is a stated fact that: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869. I can show multiple references to this fact, so will it makes the articles in violation of copying? Fact stated is a fact. I have mentioned the facts about the church, based on the information that is known by word of mouth to all in this church area. I have lived through the changes all these years. Plus I have mentioned the reference for: https://www.dioceseofmangalore.com/parishes1/k/1145-kelarai for the church page. This is so demotivating and a pain.

Sachinrp (talk) 18:43, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , It is not mentioned anywhere that it has been rejected for copy paste reasons. It is declined because the subject does not cite any WP:RELIABLE sources to certain its notability. Please read the decline message carefully before posting. You have cited the rejection message for Draft:St Anne Church, Kelarai, Mangaluru. I have declined for Draft:St Anne English Medium School, Kelarai recently ~ Amkgp  💬  18:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Joaquín Bilbao at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Just a minor issue with the hook, but I didn't want to approve an alternate hook without you seeing it first. Please feel free to ping me here or at the nomination with comments, a sourcing, or another hook. Thanks. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 03:30, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Prep 5
Hi, I see you're promoting a lot of my nominations. Please be aware that we don't list two nominations (either DYKmake or DYKnom) by the same editor in the same set. So one of my nominations will have to be moved out of Prep 5.

Also, please remember to copy the entire credit line, including the subpage parameter, for each DYK credit. The subpage provides a link back to the DYK nomination template. (You also left off the subpage parameter in Preps 3 and 6.) Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 11:15, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, please keep count of the U.S. hooks. There should be no more than 4 U.S.-based topics in an 8-hook set. And try to separate the U.S. hooks if at all possible. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 11:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Hi again. Take a look at how you've put two biography hooks side by side at the end. You need to alternate the bios and non-bios. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:08, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an  tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else.
 * The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Future changes
 * All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis next week. This is a reminder. You can help by translating the announcement message.

Image hooks
Hi, I've had to move a few of your image hooks down in the set because they were dark/blurry/indistinguishable at thumbnail size. Just because a hook is nominated with an image doesn't mean the image is main page-worthy. Additionally, the hook in the number-one slot should be a great hook! Best, Yoninah (talk) 21:56, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , OK ~ Amkgp  💬  04:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

--- Another question: Are you trying to promote the oldest nominations on the Approved page first? It seems like you're promoting things that I just nominated or approved. Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 18 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I am promoting top to bottom from the list taking care of alternate bio & non-bio in mind. I have no preference. It may be a mere coincidence. ~ Amkgp  💬  21:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
