former resident of
In your very good options available - have you ever considered the boxes:
 * this person is a former resident of... ??
 * this person is interested in x as a former resident... ??
 * Just curious. JarrahTree 12:04 pm, 16 January 2019, Wednesday (19 days ago) (UTC+8)


 * I certainly could, although you're the first person to request it. The options 72, 73, 37, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 35 of the User in region templates produce the following:


 * I could add a verb option to Template:User lives in so you could change This user lives in to This user lived in, This user has lived in, This user formerly lived in, This user once lived in, This user is a former resident of, etc. This would give you the option to cite a town as well as a region.  If your verb phrase gets to long, you will run out of space in the userbox.  What do you think?   Buaidh  talk contribs 12:33 pm, 16 January 2019, Wednesday (19 days ago) (UTC+8)

WikiProject Portals update #026, 20 Jan 2019
Well, here's the first issue of the new year. Enjoy...

New participants
A hearty welcome to new arrivals to the portals department:
 * Emoteplump
 * Pakieditor
 * CASSIOPEIA
 * Venomous Sniper
 * DannyS712

Harvesting categories tool prototype
DannyS712 has created a user script prototype, User:DannyS712/Cat links, that can pull members from a category, a functionality we've been after since the project's revamp last Spring. Now, it's a matter of applying this technique to scripts that will place the items where needed, such as with a section starter script and/or portal builder script.

WikiProject Portals update #028, 04 Feb 2019
Here's a quicky status report:
 * Old-style portals:   1,018
 * Single-page portals: 4,367
 * Total portals:       5,385

But of course, there has been more going on than just that...

Dreamy Jazz Bot is up and running!
Dreamy Jazz Bot has been approved and is now up and running. What it does is places missing links to orphaned portals. It places a link in the See also section of the corresponding root article, and it puts one at the top of the corresponding category page. We have thousands of new portals that have yet to be added to the encyclopedia proper, just waiting to go live. When they do go live, over the coming days or weeks, due to Dreamy Jazz Bot, it will be like an explosion of new portals on the scene. We should expect an increase in awareness and interest in the portals project. Perhaps even new participants. Get ready... Get set... Go!

Another sockpuppet infiltrator has been discovered
User:Emoteplump, a recent contributor to the portals project, was discovered to be a sockpuppet account of an indefinitely blocked user.

Up for a task?
Prior to April of last year, the portals WikiProject produced about 80 portals per year.

bpsp is designed to take advantage of navbox footer templates, populating 2 sections of a portal with each one.

The thing is, there are over 128,000 of them.

So, a simple hypothesis is that there are over 10,000 of them about subjects suitable for portals, and probably even more.

We made it to 5,000 portals with ease, and now we are shooting for the 10,000 mark.

The task, should you accept it, would be to hunt down subjects supported by navbox footers, and then use  to create corresponding titled portals.

There's a script that makes this process even faster.

Once a suitable subject has been found, it takes between 10 and 20 seconds to create the portal for it.

At a portal a day, that's 365 portals in a year.

At 10 portals a day, that's 3,650 portals in a year.

Let me know if you think you are up to it, and I'll provide some more tips.

Sincerely,  &mdash; The Transhumanist   21:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

P.S.: You thanked me for this post. Is that a "yes"?

Inneresting' - sounds interesting... JarrahTree 21:46, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Do you have more details or is that it? if so yes... JarrahTree 21:54, 4 February 2019 (UTC)


 * More details? Absolutely! More to come...  &mdash; The Transhumanist   21:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

More details
At a minute or so, that makes finding a subject to make a portal on the most time-consuming part of the task of portal creation these days.

To make the hunt as quick as possible, you need tools and tricks...

Let's start out with WP:SearchSuite. Let me know when you have it installed. &mdash; The Transhumanist  22:09, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Portal creation tip
Would you like to know how I create portals so quickly?

But first, do you use WP:wikEd?

If you use WP:wikEd, keep in mind that the following method does not work while wikEd is turned on. You absolutely have to turn wikEd off for it to work. Otherwise, wikEd will send the script into an endless loop, on every tab that the script is running. And that would be BAD.

That being said, the trick to quick portal creation is User:The Transhumanist/QuickPortal.js.

The way I used it on the provinces of Indonesia, was on the various links at Provinces of Indonesia, then, in each tab, clicking on the menu item "Matching portal" in the Tools menu in the sidebar menu, and then clicking on the "Start the" link on the resulting screen (in each tab). Then, inspect the preview of the new portal in each tab, and click Save or as appropriate.

ing on the articles, will load each one into a tab. And you can traverse the tabs with. (In Firefox).

Enjoy.

Of course, feel free to ask any questions you may have. &mdash; The Transhumanist  12:32, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Not just Sydney inner life - there is a whole set of filing cabinets full of material for all of australia that is not in trove that unless it is in peoples scrap books - is very difficult to retrieve - my specialist areas are tassie 70s, and sydney 70s, perth and wa same era - but I do know that it is a laborious process as it is not at the tip of a trove tag, it is physical checking through and slow things... but it is nothing compared to what I am doing in another un-related (so far) project - try getting a handle on 10,000 + images held in a government archive, which I have to hand photograph... sigh, it is taking quite some time. So the answer is - the gratifying easy quick response aspect of trove is great until 1955 - it is the 1960s and 1970s of oz that one thread of canberra times items in trove cannot even scratch  JarrahTree 23:34, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Invitation to Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network
Hello and nice to reconnect! You messaged me on my talk page. I want to invite you to meta:Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network and you can invite any other Wikimedians in Residence. For about a year we have been meeting monthly at noon New York Time, which is 4am Perth time. Sorry about the disconnect, but maybe with some planning we can make it work. Right now the meeting is set up to serve Seattle-Paris, which I think is a 9 hour gap.

We post minutes to meta:Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/archive. If you want to discuss something you can bring it to the talk page.

This is a peer-to-peer support organization which seeks to mutually recognize and support each other. Consider also that if you want opinions on a matter, you can post a question to the agenda and answer will appear after the next meeting. Thanks, we all depend on each other.

confusing moves
Hey,

Re. my confusing moves, the easiest way for me to create gobs of new redirects is to move existing rd's to the names I want, and let a bot clean up the resulting dbl rd's. So, if 'X language' rd's to 'Y language', and 'X' is best linked there as well rather than to an ethno article (e.g. the 'Eastern Foo language', where the 'Eastern Foo' are not a people), then what looks like a move from 'X language' to 'X' is really just the creation of a new rd from 'X' to 'Y language'. You'd need to look at the content of X to see it's just a rd. I know, it's confusing, but it saves a lot of time, esp. when I'm covering spelling variants, forms of the name with and without diacritics, adding/subtracting dab terms, etc.

John Olive Lees
Hi JT! I have just this morning deleted a name from the list of 1912 North Mount Lyell disaster casualties, in which you have an interest, having discovered that rumors of his death ... etc. Now I find that his name is mentioned in a paper The North Mount Lyell disaster - a miscarriage of justice by one Peter Schulze, published around the same time as the addition of the name, and wondered if there is a story there. Do you have access to the on-line version? I would be delighted to have my "bold edit" reverted if I was somehow wrong. Doug butler (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for the Schulze text. Totally convincing, and I do know something of electrical installations, though 700A fuses are way out of my league! Unfortunately nothing about John Olive Lees, but mentions of my man Mervyn Murray were interesting and useful. His statement at the Royal Commission (not mentioned in the Schulze paper) that an electrical fault was unlikely, as the equipment came from the "very best suppliers", was however cringemaking. Doug butler (talk) 13:40, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Kings Cross
Yeah, I'm out - unwatchlisted. They bloat the article, there's no plausible reason why there needs to be a gallery of six, you yourself opposed a gallery on the talk page and I'm being reverted by two people who refuse to use the talk page any longer (note that my ignored response trying to find a consensus was the last post on there). Have fun. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 10:51, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Next time, if you're keen on the talk page furthering the issue, perhaps you might use it instead of joining that dude in ignoring it and reverting without explanation. I'm fine with some of the plans going in amidst the text, but neither of you were remotely interested in coming to any kind of consensus and I'm too busy offline these days to stuff around with articles where people are going to ignore discussion and railroad me with reverts.

 * As the editor above insists on repeatedly deleting my replies - admittedly on my part hasty and not that polite - that they were, with some time for thought in murderous morning traffic what had happened, I hereby offer an expanation in the expectation that the IP is located in New Jersey is simply an IP who has for whatever reason has found it expedient to edit from an IP despite quite a resource of knowledge of wikipedia editing. New users do not have the capacity to understand most of the components of the above.

I had been using an app that when the word 'years' is typed in, it usually links to the wikiproject years - however, it can connect with something other than the wikiproject, and in my editing, I had failed to see the result... despite the apps capacity to let an editor see the result of the edit really well before hitting the save button, I had not realised the mistake. So my mistake, and yes the IP is correct, but I do not condone WP:SHOUTING regardless of where the issue arises.

I often screw up - and gladly accept corrections, but I must say that I do have an inherent suspicion of IPs editing complex wikipedia tasks - I have never seen a convincing and comprehensive explanation as to why editing from an IP or, repeatedly reverting talk page messages, as an example of what it is all WP:ABOUT, but I am sure I could always be convinced if I had a reasonable explanation for the practices...

 * I do have an inherent suspicion of IPs editing complex wikipedia tasks — WP:AGF - don't just mention the acronym in the occasional talk page discussion, follow the guideline, assume good faith unless/until there's evidence to the contrary.
 * I have never seen a convincing and comprehensive explanation as to why editing from an IP ... but I am sure I could always be convinced if I had a reasonable explanation for the practices... — Challenge accepted...

 * meta::Association of Good Faith Wikipedians Who Remain Unregistered on Principle
 * IPs are human too
 * I occasionally make edits while not logged in, because:
