Image review request
Apologies for the random message and request. I was wondering if you could possibly do an image review for my current FAC. The article only has two images so hopefully, it would not take too much work. I completely understand if you do not have the time or interest. The nomination is still rather new, as I have only put it up earlier this month, but I am very grateful for the commentary it has already received at this point. I hope you are having an enjoyable week so far. Aoba47 (talk) 03:08, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The non-free image being used in the infobox seems fine for primary identification purposes per item 4 of WP:NFCI and WP:NFCCP. Now, if you can find an actual source for the poster instead of the boilerplate text given in the file's non-free use rationale, then that would be better; such a thing isn't, however, generally a serious problem when it comes to movie posters for films released by major Hollywood studios. The other image is freely licensed so it isn't subject to Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. The only question then is whether it's contextually relvant to add an image of Drescher taken in 2018 to an article about a 1997 movie. There might be other images of her in c:Category:Fran Drescher taken closer to the movie's release date. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Seems like Marchjuly has covered all aspects that should be considered. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:14, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the response. I actually did not look that thoroughly into the poster image so that was my fault. I have used IMDb as the source, but I could try to find a different one if needed. I have replaced the image with one that was taken closer to the film's release date. Thank you again for the help. Aoba47 (talk) 20:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems
 * Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now.
 * Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 July. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).

Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Modern and Monobook skins use the ID  for the go button. This is   for Vector. To have the same ID for all skins it will change to   in Monobook and Modern too. This will affect gadgets and user scripts. It will happen on 23 July. They should be updated to use  . You can read more and see a list of affected scripts.

Me again
Jo-Jo, I can do some reviewing today, but I have forgotten which article you are working up next ... maybe considering how my brain works, it would be better to put reminders on my talk, rather than pings, so I will know where to find them! Bst, Sandy Georgia (Talk)  12:00, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Greetings, . The article in question was Laguna del Maule (volcano). By happy coincidence, tomorrow is my last exam and then I can get back to large wiki work as well. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:30, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I will get there after some other catching up here, Sandy Georgia (Talk)  12:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Jo-Jo, I just had a look, and the last two sections are really rough ... In terms of prose, grammar and need to fix the numbers per the usual things I do ... to the extent that I am not sure line-by-line review will suffice. I am thinking you should run through the entire article after exams, and then let me know (post to my talk?) so I can continue ... hope that works, Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  22:31, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Problems
 * The Score extension has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (calendar).

Future changes
 * Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect language-independent information that can be easily read in different languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read more.
 * The iOS Wikipedia app developers are thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help them by answering the survey.
 * Some rules for user signatures will soon be enforced. Lint errors and invalid HTML will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new rules. This is because the signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.

Please review my draft
Hello!

I am new to Wikipedia and I have submitted an article for review. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Igor_Grigorievich_Chervanev This article is about an Ukranian scientist in the fields of geomorphology, physical geography and geoecology. However, other Wikipedia editors claimed the article was written like an advertisement and that the author (me) is closely related to the subject. We do share the same surname but are not related. I barely know him. Can you please review this article and advise me on what to do next?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki2802 (talk • contribs) 09:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Greetings, Unfortunately while I write about geology I really do not write about geologists. Only thing I can tell you is that the draft needs more in-line references. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:27, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
We have a topic to review. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:16, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you today for Payún Matrú, "about a volcano in Argentina. It was active starting from the Pleistocene until recent times, that is until 515 years ago, and consists of a shield volcano capped off by a caldera formed during an explosive eruption and a mass of monogenetic volcanoes. It is not particularly remarkable as far as volcanoes go, save for its giant lava flows which are among the longest of the Quaternary; one of these is known as Pampas Onduladas and is almost 200 kilometres (120 mi) long. If such an eruption were to occur today, though, it would not be much of a threat to anyone; the region is thinly inhabited."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:16, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation links
I just fixed a bunch of links at Lake Estancia. You might want to check to see if I linked to the correct pages. I recommend that you go to your preferences and enable the one called "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". It will help you see the links that are pointing to dab pages instead of the pages you intended (as long as you can perceive the color differences). – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:16, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. We'll see about that preference. The replacement links seem OK although I am not sure about "playa"->"sink (geography)". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It's a useful little gadget - go to Preferences, Gadgets, and it's near the end of the Appearance section. Recommended! Pam  D  22:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * Users can thank others for their edits. Checkusers can now see user data related to that action. This can help identify sock puppets who harass others using thanks.

Problems
 * Everyone was logged out a couple of weeks ago to fix a security problem. The problem was not entirely fixed. Because of this everyone was logged out once again last week.

Changes later this week
 * Wikis that are not for one specific language can translate pages. Sometimes parts of translations are outdated or missing. Outdated translations are marked with a pink background . Missing translations will also be marked in the future. This markup can sometimes break things. It can soon be disabled by using  on the source page.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 July. It will be on all wikis from 16 July (calendar).

Future changes

Tech News: 2020-30
 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
 * A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. The mobile main page special casing stopped working 14 July. 60 wikis now have main pages that don't work well on mobile. You can see which ones, how to fix it and how to get help in Phabricator. This is the same problem that was reported in Tech News 2020/24 and 2020/26.

Problems
 * There is a problem with the interlanguage links. The interlanguage links are the links that help you find a specific page in a different language. The sorting is broken. The developers are working on a solution.
 * Some users keep getting the notifications for the same event. Some of these are old events.
 * Some users have trouble logging in. This is probably a browser cookie problem. The developers are working on understanding the problem. If you have trouble logging in you can see the details on Phabricator.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 July. It will be on all wikis from 23 July (calendar).

Future changes
 * There is a  link. This will disappear. That is because web browsers today can create a printable version or show how it will look in print anyway.

an FAC / checking in
Hi Jo-Jo, hope you are doing well. I am thinking of nominating Boring Lava Field at FAC and was wondering if you thought it was ready. I would like to slowly phase back into regular activity, though real life continues to be incredibly busy lately. Best,  ceran  thor 19:28, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

 * On it!  ceran  thor 22:51, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Mine information on Licancabur
Hello, first time trying to "chat" on wiki, so hopefully I'm doing it right. The note about the mines near Licancabur could be rephrased or put into a section more relevant to climbing information. But it is fully true and, while the reference I included doesn't ever mention the volcano, it does say: 'there is one minefield eleven kilometers east of San Pedro de Atacama, marked with a "danger explosives, do not travel" sign'. This is at the road that leads into the desert and towards the N rib climbing route of the volcano. Kamerondeckerharris (talk) 14:39, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * https://goo.gl/maps/9pg8m6utN5GF7XNC9 I guess the Chilean govt hasn't fully acknowledged the existence of mines in the country. However, I was trying to add the information in a non-opinionated way, and the source I used appears credible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamerondeckerharris (talk • contribs) 14:44, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Greetings, . You are doing this right, although I have reformatted this. The thing about this kind of information is that it's being put on a so-called Good Article, which means that one editor has assessed its content and deemed it compliant with several Wikipedia quality criteria. Thus ideally all new additions should meet the same criteria. The problem I see with your sources is that some of them either are not reliable and others require too much interpretation to say what you are using them as sources for. I don't want to simply delete the information you added, however. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:13, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, after one day and no better source I've moved to the talk page for the time being. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:55, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
