I dont understand why this would need protection if information is being added. References as well. 178.167.254.28 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:35, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Can you find references that are not behind a paywall? To view the Irish Times archive you have to pay, which is not ideal. Have a look at WP:RS for guidance. Also, have you a reference for the game stats? JMHamo (talk) 15:57, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

The Irish Times although a paywall has been used for years here as references. I have added a source for the game stats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.254.28 (talk) 16:06, 13 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, JMHamo. I'm reviewing this IP editor's edits and I'm 99% certain he's a new incarnation of sockpuppeteer, User:Rovers Forever. If it's him then I'd be very cautious about accepting his word on what information is listed behind that paywall. It's one of his favorites and he's been adding it to Irish football articles for years. He's fond of using difficult to verify sources like this to back up all kinds of original research. Just wanted to give you a heads up. -Thibbs (talk) 17:59, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. I had my suspicions. I see it has been dealt with appropriately :).. JMHamo (talk) 21:58, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

So to sum up because you dont like some edits that are adding referenced information you can vandalise and basically shut down a page? You need to take a good long hard look at yourselves here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.254.59 (talk) 09:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Jordan Ibe
Hey. Didnt really feel a need to cite a source for the fact that Ibe had scored, as at the time, it was Live on tv, so it was fairly obvious he had been fouled for the penalty and scored the goal. Im sure now there are some match reports that can be used as sources ;) Dimspace (talk) 19:26, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * References are always required. Have a read of WP:RS JMHamo (talk) 21:53, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I realise that. Normally I would, but it was edited live as the match was in progress. I figured either I or someone would add a reference later as is common. Dimspace (talk) 23:19, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Not good.. a) Wikipedia is not Sky Sports, it's not a place for live match reports and b) if you assume that somebody will add a reference for you after because you couldn't be bothered, it's more likely to be removed. **sigh** JMHamo (talk) 23:29, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Did i say I couldnt be bothered? At the time there were no press reports to cite. As soon as there was one I would have gone to the page and added a ref, or somebody would have already done it. As it was, somebody had already added a reference. Blimey. Dimspace (talk) 18:31, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Rehab My Patient
Hello. The Rehab My Patient page has multiple issues. Maybe you could check it out? Thanks. NHCLS (talk) 21:07, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I see that it has been nominated for speedy deletion - "because in its current form it serves only to promote an entity, person or product, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic." It's spam basically. JMHamo (talk) 21:37, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

VE newsletter
Hey JMHamo; hope you had a decent weekend :). We've got a pile of patches, some of which went out on Monday, some yesterday:

 * If your edit token expires, VE fetches a new one for you so you can save. (50424)
 * If the page is empty of content but does have something non-content (like a category or an HTML comment), VE no longer crashes on load - (50289)
 * sub tags are no longer removed ((49873)
 * If you type at the end of links, they now extend
 * Templates now only take a single click to insert
 * Clear annotations clears links (50461)
 * The link inspector stays open when you click to another item (50895)

Hi there, Agustien posted his own image on to his Instagram account with his shirt. RM-Taylor (talk) 12:32, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Diego da Silva Costa
Not enough vandalism (yet!) to justify protection, but I have added to my watchlist and will monitor. GiantSnowman 08:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ - though please bear in mind WP:3RR when reverting. GiantSnowman 14:43, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Transfer rumours are not vandalism per se. GiantSnowman 14:51, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I know your edits are entirely good faith - but just something to bear in mind... GiantSnowman 15:11, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor newsletter for 06 August 2013
It's been almost two weeks since the last newsletter, and a lot of improvements have been made during that time. The main things that people have noticed are significant improvements to speed for typing into long pages, scrolling and deleting  on large pages. There have also been improvements to references, with the latest being support for list-defined references, which are s defined inside a ) (bug 53345).  Selecting both an image and some text, and then trying to add a link, previously deleted the selected image and the text.  This was fixed in bug 50127. There was another problem related to using arrow keys to move the cursor next to an inline image that was fixed (bug 53507).

Looking ahead: The next planned upgrade is scheduled for next Thursday, and you should expect to find a redesigned toolbar with drop-down menus that include room for references, templates, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript, and code formatting. There will also be keyboard shortcuts for setting the format (paragraph vs section headings).

If you are active at other Wikipedias, the next group of Wikipedias to have VisualEditor offered to all users is being determined at this time. Generally speaking, languages that depend on the input method editor are not going to receive VisualEditor this month. The current target date is Tuesday, September 24 for logged-in users only. You can help with translating the documentation. In several cases, most of the translation is already done, and it only needs to be copied over to the relevant Wikipedia. If you are interested in finding out whether a particular Wikipedia is currently on the list, you can leave a message for me at my talk page.

For other questions or suggestions, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting problem reports at VisualEditor/Feedback and other ideas at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:49, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
