Hi Captain, I am new to DYK nominations, but it is my understanding that if the nominator has previously nominated less than five other DYKs that this nomination does not require a QPQ. Can you correct me if I am wrong? - adamstom97 (talk) 02:46, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi. Just a gentle reminder that your DYK nomination for this article is still on hold pending a QPQ review by you of some other nomination.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 03:09, 20 July 2015 (UTC)


 * OK, I've cleared your Brad Carter DYK nomination after noting your QPQ review of Daniel McBreen. One small comment on English usage — please note the difference between "interested" and "interesting".  A person or thing is "interest ing " if it attracts the interest of a person or persons.  A person is "interest ed " in someone who (or something which) has attracted his/her interest.  A DYK hook can (and should) be "interesting" to readers, but since a DYK hook is an inanimate thing, it is logically impossible for a DYK hook to be "interested" in anything or anyone.  —  Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 16:56, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

 * That's great news on Canada. Anywhere in particular you are looking at?  What field of study?  Weren't you looking at England too?  Canada is a better choice as it is much less expensive than England.   I do see alot of DYK message on your talk page.  I've been doing the usual.  I've been less active over the past few months due to some illness and Wikipedia fatigue.  I'm getting back into the grove now.  Bgwhite (talk) 08:29, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah I know it's less expensive, that's why I applied there. I got admission acceptance letter from The Art Institute of Vancouver in Diploma in Film & Video. I hope it's better for me, I already know about films and scriptwriting a bit. I also know a little about 3D animation.
 * What's the illness, I mean are you permanent sick or was it temporary? And what's your age now? You do exercise, don't you? -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 12:06, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Vancouver is a great place. It's my second favorite city in Canada after Victoria.  Vancouver is a big hub for the TV and film industry, but has declined recently due to more areas offering tax incentives.  Careful on the Art Institute.  They are a for-profit company.  They've just gone thru a round of closing down schools.  Alot of schools won't transfer credit from there.  They are controversial.
 * Hopefully the latest illness was temporary. I've got health conditions, mostly related to spinal bifida.  It's progressively getting worse. If it wasn't for my wife, I'd be in a big world of hurt.  I'm in my late 40s.  Bgwhite (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoa! You're not that old for getting health conditions, but these days sicknesses are really spreading like a zombie virus. Hope you'll get better soon.

Fast & Furious 8 draft
Hi – thanks for alerting me to the draft that was being edited unbeknownst to me earlier. As an experienced editor, how do you think I'm going so far? My other question was (and I haven't forgotten what you told me before, but I wanted to ask anyway in order to get your take on it all), would we be able to implement the information onto the actual article once the screenplay and director have been finalised? Considering that it's supposed to be a big milestone in the development of the film, and that it's going to be followed with interest, maybe we could properly start the article then?  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)  02:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * You've done really a great work in the draft but I'm really sorry to say that we can not start the article in the mainspace until filming begins or at-least just two or three days left from the confirmed date of start of filming. And Joshua (I think it's your real name), by the way you are doing an appreciate-able work over here on Wikipedia. Can we talk on email or elsewhere? -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 03:48, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

You can add quotations marks before and after a title or phrase with a single click.

Select the relevant text. Find the correct quotations marks in the special character inserter tool (marked as Ω in the toolbar).



Click the button. VisualEditor will add the quotation marks on either side of the text you selected.



You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices.

Wikimania
The team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations and the future of editing.

Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince,  जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi.

For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%).

For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%).

We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. Thank you to the translators for participating and the translatewiki.net staff for facilitating this initiative.

Recent improvements
Auto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org.

Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top.

In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software.

Future changes
The team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not.

On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments.

Let's work together

 * Share your ideas and ask questions at VisualEditor/Feedback.
 * Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at VisualEditor/IME Testing if you can help.
 * If your wiki would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace, you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
 * Please file requests for language-appropriate "" and "" icons for the styling menu in Phabricator.
 * The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.
 * The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, usually on Tuesdays at 12:00 (noon) PDT (19:00 UTC). Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings.  You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q1 blocker, though.  Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

Ready Player One
Hello Captain Assassin!

After I created the Ready Player One (film) page I saw that you were working on a rough draft. I did not mean to step on your toes on that, so I am sorry! I incorporated a section from your rough draft into the live page. Hope that is ok; I know you put work into it, and it makes the page better. Again, sorry for stepping on your toes there. --Cagepanes (talk) 07:29, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello, actually that's not a problem. The problem is that you are against Wikipedia policies, we can't create a film article until production begins on that film per WP:NFF. So I've redirect the Ready Player One (film) back to Ready Player One#Film adaptation and I've put an "editnotice" for warning. If you want to contribute the article please do so in the Draft:Ready Player One (film) but not today, because the draft is intended to be moved to mainspace when filming begins and you've already edited mainspace article today, and if you edit the draft today it would be impossible to move the draft. So please contribute to draft but please start it from tomorrow's date, wait until tomorrow. If you understand, good, if not, then please ask me anything here. Thanks. -- Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 11:38, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I was not aware of that. Good to know. Thank you! --Cagepanes (talk) 16:50, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hitman for Hire for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

QPQs in arrears
Captain Assassin!, one of your hooks had to be pulled from prep a short while ago (Template:Did you know nominations/Bridget Jones's Baby); while the main cause had to do with other things, the fact that the reviewer gave you credit for a non-existent QPQ did not go unnoticed. QPQs should be done in a timely fashion, and you have a number of outstanding QPQs, including on nominations that have already been reviewed. These need to be taken care of soon. They are: Thank you very much for taking care of this. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:26, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm glad you'll be getting to them soon. But you know, waiting for the reviewer to start before starting a QPQ isn't quite fair, since it means they can never do the review in one shot: even if everything else is fine, they'll have to come back when you've done the QPQ to finish it later. Please try to break yourself of that old habit. (It can also delay you getting a review; some reviewers won't even look at nominations where the QPQ isn't listed.)
