Draft:Azem Hajdini
@DreamRimmer Hi, please can you make this draft: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Azem_Hajdini an article? Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 06:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @ROBERTSHST, your draft has been submitted and it's waiting for a review. No need to stress, a reviewer will take a look soon. I quickly checked it out and noticed that most parts don't have sources or have weak ones. It'd be great if you could add sources to those parts or maybe think about removing them. – DreamRimmer (talk) 08:41, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer Hi, I have added enough sources for the parts of the article which they correspond to. The sources are enough. Since I corrected the translation after being translated incorrectly in the first writing, I think a reviewer should make it an article as soon as possible. Please ask an user to make it an article soon. ROBERTSHST (talk) 11:28, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer Hi, can you ask a reviewer to make this draft an article now? It has passed too much time since I created it, submitted it for review and after the decline I corrected it. Now I want from someone to make it an article. Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 15:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @ROBERTSHST: I have noticed there are still quite a few unsourced paragraphs in it. Could you please take a moment to fix them? It's currently in the queue and will be reviewed anytime. – DreamRimmer (talk) 03:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer Hi, I added other sources and every paragraph has a source. Please review it again or ask an user/admin to review it and make it an article. Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 08:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @DreamRimmer Can you or another user check this draft and make it an article now? Thanks ROBERTSHST (talk) 06:52, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect Rollback
I like to inform you that the following rollback was incorrect. The website of the described entity uses clearly the writing I corrected it to, for example can be seen at the bottom at their copyright statement "© Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond 2024". Therefore, your rollback was incorrect as the current writing is neither as claimed in the dutch language nor used by the entity itself. So I would like to ask you to correct it. Thanks.--Maphry (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Maphry: All other cricket associations use 'Board,' so I assumed it should be 'Board' here as well. I've never come across the term 'Bond' being used in this context. I apologize if any time was wasted. Please feel free to restore your edit back. – DreamRimmer (talk) 18:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, yes it is unusal, caused that the dutch are one of the few who prefer their own language (beside the Danes) in their communication.--Maphry (talk) 18:07, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Kirill Chereshko
I re-reviewed Kirill Chereshko and I'm not 100% on it, the sources seem shaky and it's worded promotionally. Someone else took it to AfD though so it's nbd, but I think I have to notify you if I find any issues. BuySomeApples (talk) 10:43, 2 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @BuySomeApples: The article was AfDed on 28 January, and I marked it as reviewed on 29 January. Please note that my review wasn't based on a notability assessment; it's a standard NPP process to mark AfDed articles as reviewed to remove them from the NPP queue. I believe your re-review description may need some tweaks on the drive subpage. Happy re-reviewing! – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 11:06, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Thomas Harrison
Hello, the edit to the Thomas Harrison page was not a test. It was an inclusion due to the line on the page for Vox Populi, Vox Dei which lists a man with this name as a possible author. A. Rosenberg (talk) 17:43, 2 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Asher Rosenberg It clearly seems like a test edit. What did you mean by using ?

BLP violation/defamatory content warning advice
Noticed you reverting defamatory edits/BLP violations/vandalism. Thanks! Just some advice for these cases: When it is egregious (this applies strongly to BLP related reverts), skip the lower warnings and use level 4im warning (only warning) or level 3 warning, as BLP policy violations (more precisely defamatory content) on BLPs are very serious violations and the rules quite clear with very little tolerance. While this is not really a requirement, it can help stop the problem quicker if such serious violations are meant with an equally stern response. Reading the first two paragraphs of WP:UW might explain what I am trying to get across more clearly. jayhawker6 (talk) 16:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Jayhawker6, Thanks for your advice! I am actually aware of that. I like using high-level warning templates when dealing with BLP vandalism. The thing is, since I use Huggle for reverting vandalism, I can't manually customize warning levels; it automatically sends warnings. Thanks again for your advice, I really appreciate it.<span id="DreamRimmer:1707152177099:User_talkFTTCLNDreamRimmer" class="FTTCmt"> — <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 16:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

<section begin="technews-2024-W06"/> 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
 * The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
 * On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks".

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from . It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from . It will be on all wikis from (calendar).
 * Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed.

Future changes
 * 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings.

Warning Templates
Huggle has been placing your warning templates just fine, but is there any way for you to make it place the correct ones? I noticed that you recently used the vandal template instead of the unsourced addition template where the latter would have been much more helpful in explaining what the user is doing wrong. Is that a possibility or does Huggle give you no choice? jayhawker6 (talk) 15:11, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Jayhawker6, Where? <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 15:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

 * @Jayhawker6,These types of edits are considered original research but are generally regarded as vandalism. Almost every patroller using Huggle employs the same template as I did. Huggle offers all templates, and I use all of them where appropriate. <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 15:38, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Trex Bachelor (02:32, 20 February 2024)
Hello, what's editing on Wikipedia --Trex Bachelor (talk) 02:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Trex Bachelor, editing on Wikipedia is the process of making changes to articles on the website. This could involve fixing errors, adding information, or improving the overall quality of the content. Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but it’s important to follow the site’s guidelines and policies, such as citing reliable sources and maintaining a neutral point of view. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 06:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research  shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well.
 * Octicons-tools.svg The mw.config value  now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is: <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr">.

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

 * The right to change edit tags (<bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> ) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

Recent changes
 * The <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> page (as well as the associated "Create a book" functionality) provided by the old Collection extension has been removed from all Wikisource wikis, as it was broken. This does not affect the ability to download normal books, which is provided by the Wikisource extension.
 * Wikitech now uses the next-generation Parsoid wikitext parser by default to generate all pages in the Talk namespace. Report any problems on the Known Issues discussion page. You can use the ParserMigration extension to control the use of Parsoid; see the ParserMigration help documentation for more details.
 * Maintenance on etherpad is completed. If you encounter any issues, please indicate in this ticket.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Gadgets allow interface admins to create custom features with CSS and JavaScript. The <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> namespaces and <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> user right were reserved for an experiment in 2015, but were never used. These were visible on Special:Search and Special:ListGroupRights. The unused namespaces and user rights are now removed. No pages are moved, and no changes need to be made.
 * A usability improvement to the "Add a citation" in Wikipedia workflow has been made, the insert button was moved to the popup header.

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

Future changes
 * All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks.
 * The HTML markup of headings and section edit links will be changed later this year to improve accessibility. See Heading HTML changes for details. The new markup will be the same as in the new Parsoid wikitext parser. You can test your gadget or stylesheet with the new markup if you add <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> to your URL (more info) or turn on Parsoid read views in your user options (more info).

There is a mop reserved in your name
–  Pharyngeal Implosive7  (talk)  00:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Exactly my thought @PharyngealImplosive7. @DreamRimmer could make a good sysop. I look forward to seeing this hat with them in nearby future. ─ Aafī   (talk)  16:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm really pleased that some people are impressed with my work. I plan to do an ORFA in a month or two to listen to suggestions from others, and if anyone wants to nominate me, I'll definitely think about going for an RfA in the near future. Thanks. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 03:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don’t know what DreamRimmer is waiting for :) You’re as a matter of fact the admin without tools. I am looking forward to seeing your RfA. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If you feel confident enough, there is no harm in reaching out to someone privately for an assessment. Speak to someone who the community has respect for and try to look for any issues to iron out. If you do decide to run, good luck!  The Knight Watch     (talk)   23:49, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Pilotpyx (02:51, 6 March 2024)
How do I delete a citation? (A citation was used twice by mistake on an article) --Pilotpyx (talk) 02:51, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * It looks like you've already taken care of removing the duplicate citations, so I'm assuming you've figured out how to do it. If you need any more help, feel free to reach out anytime. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 11:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

 * From what I've seen, I don't think this film meets the WP:NFF criteria, so I can't mark it as reviewed. I reckon it's best to wait until the film is released. – <b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b> (talk) 11:39, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
