Your draft article, Draft:Nadia Awad


Hello, Ezlev. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Nadia Awad".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 21:08, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * I aim to please,, and this means a lot, so thank you. Gotta have some fun mixed in with the serious – it helps keep me going, and I’m thrilled it lightens your day sometimes too! (And by the way, “magnificent dingus” is quite possibly my favorite thing I’ve ever been called.) ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 17:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Ximena Abogabir moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ximena Abogabir, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 20 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks, . It’s good to know there are other sets of eyes on articles I’ve created - quality control is always nice. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 16:26, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * , I have a question about the issue tags you've added to several articles I created. Some of them, like the one on Parley for the Oceans, I think I understand – but I don't understand the motivation for adding Cleanup-PR to Mar Cambrollé and Fundación Huésped, or Advert to Outstanding in the Field. I wonder if you might be able to state a reason in the edit summary for future tags, which I believe Twinkle facilitates, or leave a brief note about the tag/issue on the article talk page? This would also help me in cases like Mastery Transcript Consortium, where I believe there might be parts of it that are written like an advertisement but am having trouble seeing exactly which parts those are. (Another way to avoid drive-by tagging is of course to fix the issue yourself.)
 * More broadly, seeing all these tags added to articles for which I wrote most or all of the content makes me think you see some issue in the way I construct articles more generally. If that's the case, I'd appreciate an explanation so that I can work on improving in the future. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:59, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not look at who wrote the content when I place a tag. I've trained myself to avoid seeing it. I certainly do not remember user names from one article to another--I have always had  a poor memory for names, and now it comes in useful.
 * As for the articles, I'll have to put this off until tomorrow. But I will just say that the existing tags are much too inflexible. It would be much more helpful to write a detailed explanation, and that's possible for a draftify tag, but not for advert or cleanupPR. The problem is that it's too much work considering the number of new articles that must be looked at,  so I like other reviewers usually only explain when asked.  DGG ( talk ) 07:36, 24 November 2021 (UTC) �
 * Thanks for the reply,, and for your willingness to provide a bit more explanation – I'll look forward to that. I was mainly wondering because of strings like , where you draftified or tagged four articles I had created within as many minutes – but that must be a function of whatever tool you're using for the review, which makes sense. I could've sworn at least some of those had already been reviewed, though? ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 07:45, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I will now look at them to see if there arecommon problems.  DGG ( talk ) 02:29, 25 November 2021 (UTC) �
 * I still intend to get back here to you.  DGG ( talk ) 08:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

 * WOW. My best-performing DYK nom so far. I’m proud of the hook itself but I’m guessing the photo slot goes a long way to boost clicks, too. Thanks for all the work you’re doing at DYK,, including these stats tables! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 02:14, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Userbox
I thought as you created r/antiwork, that you may be interested in this userbox - User:UBX/Anti-work. Helper201 (talk) 18:50, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Two students, relaxing (1966).jpg Thanks,, for this message and for your edits to the article! I do like the userbox, and especially the photo in it – something about it makes me smile. Here's to a world more like that. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:00, 12 December 2021 (UTC)


 * No problem. I'll try and help improve it more if I can but I think you've done a great job on it! Thank you, I found it hard think of what photo to use for the infobox so I'm glad you think this one suits it well. Helper201 (talk) 19:05, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22
 Hello everyone, and welcome to the 22nd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter. This issue will be covering new and updated user scripts from the past seven months (June through December 2021).

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script
 * LuckyRename, by Alexis Jazz, is this month's featured script. LuckyRename makes requesting file moves easier, and automates the many steps in file moving (including automatic replacement of existing usage). Give it a shot!

Updated scripts
 * SD0001: hide-reverted-edits has been updated to take into account changes in reversion tools like Twinkle and RedWarn.
 * Writ Keeper: massRollback.js has added a rollback-some option (missed in last issue).
 * ClaudineChionh: SkinSwitcher (a fork and update of Eizen's script) provides an options menu/toolbox/toolbar allowing users to view a given page in MediaWiki's default skins.

Pending requests
 * Mass-patrolling at Special:NewPages
 * Taking up the mantle of an almost completed peer review javascript bot
 * Restore the Wikipedia Citation Tool for Google Books
 * Autohighlighting specific characters (Greek)
 * ...and many more, all available at User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous
 * User scripts/Ranking is a sortable table of Wikipedia's thousand-or-so most commonly used scripts; it includes their author, last modification date, installation count, and sometimes a short description.
 * Toolhub is a community managed catalog of software tools used in the Wikimedia movement. Technical volunteers can use Toolhub to document the tools that they create or maintain. All Wikimedians can use Toolhub to search for tools to help with their workflows and to create lists of useful tools to share with others.

New scripts
 * Ahecht:
 * draft-sorter sorts AfC drafts by adding WikiProject banners to their talk pages. It supersedes User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter, adding a few features and fixing some bugs.
 * massmove, a modified User:Plastikspork/massmove.js that adds a link to the left column, allows adding and removing both prefixes and suffixes.
 * watchlistcleaner removes missing pages (redlinks), redirects, pages you haven't edited recently, and/or pages you've never edited from your watchlist.
 * Awesome Aasim:
 * Infiniscroll adds infinite scrolling to user contributions, page histories, and log pages.
 * Quick create allows for the fast creation of red-linked pages with two clicks.
 * Caburum:
 * UTCclock adds a clock displaying the current UTC time.
 * Chlod:
 * CopiedTemplateEditor, mainly for CCI case handlers, allows graphically editing a talk page's copied templates.
 * DaxServer:
 * BooksToSfn adds a portlet link in Visual Editor's source mode editing, in main namespace articles or in the user's Sandbox. When clicked, it converts one inside a   tag block into an.
 * FlightTime:
 * OneClickArchiver is a custom version of User:Technical_13/Scripts/OneClickArchiver which doesn't prepend Clear to the top of each section on the archive page.
 * Jon Harald Søby:
 * diffedit enables editing directly from viewing a diff "when, for instance, you notice a tiny mistake deep into an article, and don't want to edit the entire article and re-find that one line to fix that tiny mistake".
 * warnOnLargeFile warns you if you're about to open a very large file (width/height >10,000px or file size >100 MB) from a file page.
 * JPxG:
 *  PressPass  adds a collection of tools for Newspapers.com including configurable automatic citation generation in five different formats.
 * CurrentSwitcher gives you links on the contribs page to hide duplicate entries, current revisions, rollbacks, huggles, twinkles, and redwarns.
 * TrackSum lets you automatically sum the lengths of tracks in templates like track listing and get total runtimes.
 * Nardog:
 * CopySectLink adds a button to copy the unencoded page title or section path next to each heading.
 * IPAInput allows you to type in IPA symbols by directly looking at an IPA key like Help:IPA/English and clicking on the symbols.
 * TemplatePreviewGuard warns when you try to use "Preview page with this template" with a page that doesn't transclude the template.
 * NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh:
 * ContribsTabVector adds "Contributions" and "Statistics" tabs to user and user talk pages on the Vector skin.
 * CopyvioChecker adds a "CopyvioCheck" tab to all pages, except Special (Vector skin only).
 * LiveDiffLink is a version of Equazcion's LiveDiffLink which shows a wikilink instead of a URL.
 * QuickDiff (by OneTwoThreeFall at Fandom) lets you quickly view any diff link on a wiki, whether on Recent Changes, contribs pages, history pages, the diff view itself, or elsewhere. For more information, view its page on Fandom.
 * Novem Linguae:
 * DetectSNG scans a list of 1,600 SNG keywords and displays them at the top of the article.
 * NotSoFast highlights recently created articles in the new pages feed, to discourage patrolling them too quickly.
 * UserRightsDiff concisely displays what perm was added or removed when viewing Special:UserRights.
 * VoteCounter displays a rough count of keeps and deletes at XFDs, RFCs, etc.
 * WatchlistAFD automatically watchlists the AFDs of any pages you AFC accept or NPP patrol, to help you calibrate your reviewing.
 * P.T.Đ:
 * TwinkleMobile enables Twinkle on mobile view (Minerva skin).
 * Qwerfjkl:
 * editRedirect adds a → link after redirects to edit them.
 * RegExTypoFix, a script for fixing typos, is a wrapper for User:Joeytje50/RETF.js.
 * talkback creates links after user talk page links like this: | |  (with the first linking to the user's contributions, and the latter giving the option of sending a talkback notice). It also adds a [] link next to section headers.
 * Rublov:

 * Rummskartoffel:
 * auto-watchlist-expiry automatically watchlists every page you edit for a user-definable duration (you can still pick a different time using the dropdown, though).
 * generate pings generates the wikitext needed to ping all members of a category, up to 50 editors (the limit defined by MediaWiki).
 * share ExpandTemplates url allows for easy sharing of your inputs to Special:ExpandTemplates. It adds a button that, when clicked, copies a shareable URL to your exact invocation of the page, like this. Other editors do not need to have this script installed in order to access the URL generated.
 * show tag names shows the real names of tags next to their display names in places such as page revision histories or the watchlist.
 * Tol:
 * VisualEditor Citation Needed adds a button (under "Insert") in VisualEditor to add a citation needed tag.
 * Venkat TL:
 * ColourContrib color-codes the user contributions page so that pages you've edited last are sharply distinguished from pages where another editor was the last to edit the page.
 * Vukky:
 * StatusChanger is a fork of Enterprisey's Status Changer, which adds a UI to the script. (using Morebits, so you'll need to have Twinkle enabled to use it).

All in all, some very neat scripts were written in these last few months. Hoping to see many more in the next issue -- drop us a line on the talk page if you've been writing (or seeing) anything cool and good. Filling in for DannyS712, this has been jp×g. Take care, and merry Christmas! jp×g 07:30, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

High Chiefess
Hello, I reverted your changes to Manual of Style/Hawaii-related articles. Although the title ali'i is gender neutral, gender specific titles exist in Hawaiian as ali'i wahine and English translation as chiefess or high chiefess are commonly used in most reliable secondary sources of Hawaiian history.
