Strange reversion
Hello. Why did you make this commentless reversion please? Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 08:01, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It was a combination of both the possible vandalism tag and a possible misclick while reverting vandalism on another article. Apologies for that and thank you for spotting it .  Kpg  jhp  jm  09:51, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * That's great, and thank you so much for being so nice about it! Cheers DBaK (talk) 10:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Letting AfD's discussions run
Can I please suggest per WP:NotEarly you let AfD discussions run for 168 hours as I believe you did not appear to do this at Articles for deletion/Activeweave. I realise that this is only a relist and you may have made a genuine mistake but I would kindly request you do not do this in future. I was about to consider a contribution to that discussion I will now choose not to make. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 02:11, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * You mean exactly 168 hours . Okay, I will try to follow that but I have seen most AfDs get relisted before that time . Kpg  jhp  jm  02:20, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I see the wording as A deletion discussion should normally be allowed to run for seven full days (168 hours). ... which I read as not less than. I think most experienced administrators will let it run a little longer.  And if left longer another relister may have come in with a helpful comment, perhaps useful given I have cared to mention As there is some possibility this is one of a number of articles where a non-admin closure might be regarded as controversial can I respectfully request an admin closure please..  That does not suggest a non admin should not relist .... but I would expect them to perhaps pause and think before doing so.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 04:01, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Closed AfD
Hi - you closed this AfD after 162 hours instead of 168 hours. Can you please reopen it? Thanks. Chetsford (talk) 19:25, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Request on 01:45:18, 26 September 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Bmasi
Dear wiki helpers, I would like some bits of advice on referencing for my article on Lara Porzak as it has been sent back to me for review three times despite having added many more reliable references from for example the New York Times, etc. I have also read numerous Wikipedia articles about references to help me format. Perhaps the problem comes from one reference, in particular, that I have not identified as being a problem and that is blocking its publication, this is why I am asking for some help and recommendations. Many thanks in advance, Beatrice

 * The reason why your draft was being declined because it appears to be a copy of Draft:Lara Porzak . Kpg  jhp  jm  01:49, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you -
@Kpgjhpjm Thank you! May you advise me as to how I can delete one of the two articles (the least updated version)? This is very helpful input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmasi (talk • contribs) 01:54, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks like both articles were created by you. So you can tag the article which one you feel like should be deleted as CSD G7 by placing the templatew   on top of the page .  Kpg  jhp  jm  01:59, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your precious advice!!! I hope this time it will work :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmasi (talk • contribs) 02:08, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop relisting Afds
Despite and 's messages here, you are still unecessary relisting discussions that could be closed by admin as delete or with another result, such as Articles_for_deletion/Lovedesh, Articles_for_deletion/Shawkat_Hashmi, or Articles_for_deletion/Bidiyah.

Gibraltar
Hello Kpgjhpjm,

You deleted my chances in the Infobox of Gibraltar. I added a source for the information. In addition, Gibraltarian English is the accent of English spoken in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. There are also people who speak Berber language and Maltese language in Gibraltar. I would be happy if you reply.

Best Regards,

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:45, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Whew, a lot has been happening.

A bit of defending of the portals has been needed. But, most activity recently has been directed upon maintenance and development of existing portals.

Many thanks to those who participated in the discussions.

To watch for future MfD's, keep in mind that the Portals WikiProject is supported by automatic alerts. You can see them at: WikiProject Portals

Creation criteria
There was also some discussion of creation criteria for portals. The result was that one of the participants in the discussion reverted the portal guidelines to the old version, which has the minimum number of articles for a portal included in there: "about 20 articles", a guideline that was in place since 2009.

Many of the portals that existed prior to April 2018 do not have that many (being limited to however many subpages the portal creator created), and therefore, these portals need to be upgraded to the new design (which automatically provides many articles for display). Using the new design, exceeding 20 articles for display is very easy.

Linking to the new portals
Efforts have been underway to place links to new portals (all 2200 of them created since April).


 * 1) Link (portal button) from corresponding category pages. ✅
 * 2) Link from See also section on corresponding root articles. ✅
 * 3) Link from bottom of corresponding templates. ✅
 * 4) Link for each portal on Portal:Contents/Portals. ✅

Your help is needed. It is easy to access the page mentioned in #1, #2, & #3 from the portals themselves.

AWBers could do these tasks even faster (that's how the category pages were done), except #4...

Item #4 above pretty much has to be done by hand. (If you can find a way to speed that up, I would be very impressed). The links needing placement can be found at Portal talk:Contents/Portals. Instructions are included there.

The conversion effort: news sections
There are still around 1200 old-style portals that have only undergone partial conversion to the new design concepts, still relying on subpages with copied/pasted excerpts that have been going stale for years, out of date (manually posted) news entries, etc.

The section currently being tackled on these is news. You can help by deleting any news section on the old-style portals that has news entries that are years old (that is the dead giveaway to a manual news section). Be sure not to delete the news sections of portals that have up-to-date news, or active maintainers. For maintainers, look at the portal's categories, and/or check the participants list at WP:WPPORT.

Eventually, conditional news sections (that appear only when news items are available for display) will be added using AWB to all portals without a news section.

News items (and even the news sections themselves) are automatically generated for portals that were created using the Basic portal start page. On those portals, there is a hidden comment at the top of the page (that you can see in the edit window), that says this:

Design development
Presently, we are in the process of implementing the new design features, creating new portals with them, and installing them in existing portals.

But, what about development of new new design features?

We have a wish department.

Post your wishes at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals/Design, and they might come true. Many have already, and for many of those, this is where they were posted.

Cascade effect
A resource that has been elusive so far will be obtained eventually: categories. That is, the ability to pull category member links to populate a page.

Rather than populate portals directly with such links, it may be more beneficial to the encyclopedia to utilize them in navigation footers, because portals already have the ability to generate themselves based on those.

So, this would create a cascade effect: auto-gathering entries from categories, would enable the construction of new navigation footers, that would in turn support the development of new portals.

The cascade effect would also be felt by existing portals, as existing navigation footers could be expanded using the category harvesting methods, which would in turn expand the coverage of portals that access those navigation footers.

You can help by providing leads about any potential category harvesting methods. Please report anything you know about harvesting categories at WT:WPPORTD. Thank you.

Looking into the future: the quantum portal?
One idea that has been floating around is the concept of a pageless portal. That is, a portal that isn't stored anywhere, instead being generated when you click on a menu item or button.

Many of the new portals were generated by a single click, and then saved via a second click.

Therefore, it seems likely that the portals of the future will employ the one-click concept.

Because of the need for customization by users, this concept would need to be augmented with a way to integrate user contributions. This could be done in at least two ways: posting an existing portal, autogenerating one from scratch if such does not yet exist, or have a special data page for user contributions that is folded into the auto-generated portal.

How soon? That is up to you. All that is needed are persons to implement it.

Until next time...
Keep up the good work on portals. They are improving daily. Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  04:23, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:USCellular250NewLogo. png.png
Thanks for uploading File:USCellular250NewLogo. png.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:01, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Kpgjhpjm, would you mind checking my referencing to advise me as to whether this time it should not be a problem when it goes through the review process?

Relisting AfD
I'm curious why you relisted Articles for deletion/Project Sugita Genpaku. The nominator and two participants agreed that the subject was worthy of deletion, both the nominator and a participant recommended a legitimate alternative to deletion, and no one offered a rationale for keeping the article. Why relist rather than leaving the discussion for an admin to close? Bakazaka (talk) 20:48, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Additionally, why relist for the 3rd time Articles for deletion/Jill Kirby, leaving no additional explanatory information, rather than leaving it for an admin to close, given that admins can treat a complete lack of discussion as (effectively) an expired PROD? Bakazaka (talk) 22:00, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * " I relisted because to consider the redirect vote in the debate . A relist could see further consensus between !votes and I believe an admin would have relisted the discussion instead of closing it.
 * For the second one, I relisted because to get at least one !vote . If there is no !vote by next week . It can be deleted per WP:SOFTDELETE . Kpg  jhp  jm  02:43, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Pinging for help explaining the issue, as your talk archive suggests a continuing misunderstanding of when a non-admin should relist (see e.g. User talk:Kpgjhpjm/Archive 3, User talk:Kpgjhpjm/Archive 3, User talk:Kpgjhpjm/Archive 4) Bakazaka (talk) 03:01, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Admins can delete under SOFTDELETE after one week, so they generally should be left to assess consensus on low participation AfDs unless the outcome is actually in dispute, then reposting might make sense. In this case, there was clear consensus to get rid of the article, and redirecting was an option raised that wasn’t controversial. I’ve closed it as redirect. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:09, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Kpghpjm, is there a reason you've relisted Articles_for_deletion/Phillies_Bridge_Farm for a third time? Third time relists, as have already been explained to you, are only to be used in exceptional cases. ping if they'd think it appropriate to just close that as delete. Relisting isn't reverting vandalism, you can't do it multiple times a minute; you have to properly look at the discussion to see if it is should be closed or relisted; I don't particularly want to go to WP:ANI to ask for a formal topic ban from relisting, so would you just withdraw from relisting anything at-least for the next three months, instead participate in AfDs, which is far far far more in need than people relisting?  Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:10, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree to your advice . Kpg  jhp  jm  11:32, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Good! Galobtter (pingó mió) 11:40, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * From the conversation above it seems like you agreed to withdraw from AfD relisting for three months, as suggested, but then you recently relisted Articles for deletion/Phoebe Boswell. Have you changed your mind? Bakazaka (talk) 21:10, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't changed my mind . I was finding an AfD I nominated and saw that discussion. I thought that it would be nothing wrong to relist it . Is there anything wrong with the relist itself ? Kpg  jhp  jm  01:36, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The relist itself, if it were done by someone who had not avoided WP:ANI by agreeing to not relist at AfD for three months, would be fine. It's up to you, obviously, whether you actually do what you agreed or not. Thank you for clarifying that this was intentional. Bakazaka (talk) 02:28, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Please inspect these portals, report problems or suggest improvements at WT:WPPORTD, or develop them further (see below). Thank you.

What's next?
There is still lots to do...

There are many subject gaps that need to be filled. This can be done by creating new portals, or by adding Selected article sections to existing portals. To create a new portal, simply place   on an empty portal page, and click "Preview". If the portal is complete, click "Save". After you try it, come share your experience and excitement at WT:WPPORTD.

Each new portal is just a starting point. Each portal of the new design can be further developed by:
 * refining the search parameters to improve the results displayed in the Did you know and In the news sections.
 * adding more specific Selected articles sections, like Selected biographies.
 * inserting a Recognized content section.
 * adding more pictures to the image slideshow.
 * placing a panoramic picture at the top of the intro section (especially for geographic portals).

Besides the new portals, there are still about 1200 portals of the old design that need to be converted to the new design.

Many portals need to be de-orphaned, by placing links to them (in the See also section of the corresponding root articles, at the bottom of the corresponding navigation footer templates, and on the corresponding category pages).

Many of the new portals still need to be listed at Portal:Contents/Portals.

Bugs keep popping up in portals. These need to be tracked down and reported at WT:WPPORTD.

Tools are needed to make developing and maintaining portals quicker and easier.

Dreaming up new features and capabilities. Innovation needs to continue, to design the portal of tomorrow, and the portal development-maintenance-system of the future. Automation!

So, if you find yourself with a little (or a lot) of free time, pick an area (or more) above and...

Archiving ANI
I know you're trying to help, but cool it a little with archiving ANI threads. In general threads should not be archived for at least 24 hours, and some of those you archived were contentious and should probably remain longer. Honestly it takes a bit of experience. Again, I know you mean well and please take this in the spirit of helpful advice in which it's offered. EEng 04:50, 27 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Didn't see your post, . I said the same thing below. I've unarchived the MPants thread, for one, because that was was controversial and had a lot of participants. If any of the others bear unarchiving, feel free. Softlavender (talk) 04:55, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your advice - I generally archive ANI after about 30-36 hours after closure of the thread . I will keep an eye on contentious or controversial threads while archiving . Kpg  jhp  jm  05:02, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I think what happened is that the top of the MPants thread was closed more than 24 hours before the new, bottom half of the thread, which had only been closed 7 hours prior to your archiving it. I was afraid that was going to happen, which is one reason I kept asking to start a new, level-2 thread instead of creating a sub-thread below the close. :) Softlavender (talk) 05:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , Thanks. Just seen it now .  Kpg  jhp  jm  05:12, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Archiving ANI threads
Hi Kpgjhpjm, would you mind leaving ANI threads at least 24 hours after close before archiving? This allows every interested party to see the close, regardless of time zone, sleep schedule, and log-in schedule. This is especially important on controversial threads that a lot of people have participated in. The best way to make sure you have allowed 24 hours is to Google utc military time, and subtract one day from that, and then avoid archiving anything closed before that time/date. Thanks! Softlavender (talk) 04:50, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually I archived after 38 hours or so after closure . If you think that is too early, feel free to unarchive the thread . Btw, what is UTC military time - the time we see beside the log out button.   Kpg  jhp  jm  05:05, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * See above; the MPants thread was a dual thread which had a subthread after the original close, which lots and lots of people participated in. That's one reason it's good to check not only the time of the close, but whether the close is legit and answered all of the issues, and whether there are subthreads or further conversations occurring below the close. And yes, UTC military time is the date stamp on signatures. Softlavender (talk) 05:13, 27 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Honestly, archiving is best done by one of those unfortunate creatures (such as Softlavender and me) who, for whatever sad reason, spend substantial time at ANI and follow the conversations in detail. Clearing the deadwood ASAP is highly desirable, but recognizing the exceptions that need to remain longer takes some finesse. EEng 05:18, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, there are long stretches where I get absolutely fucking sick of ANI and do not darken that plain for days or weeks, and the same seems to be true of other archivers. So it's good to have back-ups, but like you say archiving ANI is not a mindless thing and should be done carefully. Spending time observing how conversations work there, and how some closes are optimal and some are dead wrong and missed the boat (especially if they are by a non-admin, or worse, by a non-admin who doesn't label the close "non-administrative close"), and how there are often extended conversations or threads going on after the close which should be left to continue unless they are just distracting bollox complaints, ... etc., is helpful.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Sorry
I made a mistake editing. I wanted to remove the vandalism, but someone had undone it and I reverted back to the vandalised page. I used to edit wikipedia all the time (that was about 4 years ago), so I guess I forget how to use it properly. Again I am sorry and will try not to make mistakes like that again. I will use sandbox to practice. Thanks, for pointing out my error.

Sporting Index Amends
Hi,

I recently edited the Sporting Index Wikipedia page to update the outdated detail.

I am currently working at the company so would appreciate it if the accurate amends I made could be kept please?

Many thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.244.202.4 (talk) 09:00, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Hausa People.
Please tell me where my edits are wrong. The Hausa people food and clothing are Original and have no relation whatsoever with that of the Yoruba or the Shuwa. Rather the Yoruba have adopted Hausa style of food and clothing into their culture such as Gari or Garri (being a Hausa word meaning powdered grain) from Cassava which the Hausa have cultivated for centuries long before the Yoruba got cassava introduced to them by the Portuguese. As for clothing, the Yoruba are closest to the Bini people of Edo state in culture and History and you cannot see any Bini man wearing anything close to Hausa dress. Anyways, i will cite sources and references soon enough.Ppdallo (talk) 14:43, 7 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppdallo (talk • contribs) 13:51, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Welcome AmericanAir88
Give a hearty welcome to AmericanAir88, who has adopted working on portals as one of his main purposes on Wikipedia. So far, he has created the following portals:


 * Portal:Blueberries
 * Portal:Olives
 * Portal:Bananas
 * Portal:Bone fractures
 * Portal:Carbohydrates
 * Portal:Cherries
 * Portal:Coconuts
 * Portal:Hartford Whalers
 * Portal:Integumentary system
 * Portal:Exercise
 * Portal:Fatty acids

Way to go!

Where's Evad?
Evad disappeared from Wikipedia on October 18.

He has been, and will continue to be, sorely missed.

Hopefully, he is okay, on a Caribbean cruise or something.

The conversion continues
Portals of the old design, are slowly but surely being converted to the new single-page design.

One factor that has slowed things down is that for many sections, the section header call and section contents call are integrated into a template and buried in a lua module, locking them in on each portal. They have been that way for years.

This means that these sections can't be directly edited like the other sections on the same portal. So, search/replaces affect all the sections except those. So, upgrading headers on these portals, for example, misses the integrated sections and inadvertently results in 2 different header colors.

Before we can continue with the upgrade of these portals, the headers and section contents calls need to be restored to each portal, so that those can be edited in concert with the other sections on the portal, and worked on independently of each other.

This is underway, with a solution implemented on about 1/4 of the affected portals so far. Around 300 of them. The remaining 900 should be done within a couple weeks or so.

Going wide...
We now have banner-shaped pictures included in the introduction sections of 180 portals. The rarity of such pictures has made it difficult to find suitably narrow images for display across the tops of portals.

We have a solution for this, courtesy of FR30799386...

Most pictures are not banner-shaped. But, you can still use them as banners. Here's how:

Using both  and   produces this:

Project's status
There are now 4,140 portals, with more being created almost daily. Prior to this project's reboot, portals were created at about the rate of 80 per year. Since April of this year, we've created about 2,600 new portals, or 32.5 years' worth at the old rate.

Of those new portals, about 3/4 of them need links leading to them. Almost all of them are linked to from the category system, but they still need links in article see also sections, at the bottom of navigation templates, and on the main portals list at Portal:Contents/Portals.

Of the 1500 portals created before the reboot, about 300 have been completely converted to the new design so far. About 1100 more have been partially converted, with intros, image slideshows, and associated wikimedia sections getting the most attention.

Discussion has resumed on the portal guidelines.

Until next issue...
See ya round the portal system! &mdash; The Transhumanist  11:43, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

still waiting for my article to be reviewed
HI Kpgjhpjm, I am still waiting for my article to be reviewed since the 15th of September. Do you know why it is taking so long and is there any way to accelerate the process? Many thanks for your help Beatrice — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmasi (talk • contribs) 10:02, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello again, First to answer your first question - your draft has not been reviewed because most probably no reveiwer has stumbled upon the draft . There are more than 3000 unreviewed drafts, so it may take longer for it to be reviewed.  For your second question - I'm sorry but there is no way that it can be accelerated.   Kpg  jhp  jm  12:09, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Kpgjhpjm, Thank you for your quick answer. May I just bother you with one last question. The fact that draft is written on it, is that normal because this article "Draft: Lara Porzak" is the final edit, ready to be published once someone has reviewed it. Is there somewhere else I should place it so that is doesn't show up as a draft?
 * Congratulations, it looks like your draft has been accepted  . Your can see it here .  Kpg  jhp  jm  11:25, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Portals wikignome task
We need Category:Portals with titles not starting with a proper noun added to the remaining portals it is applicable to.

Differentiating these from capitalized subjects will enable many types of tasks.

I've tried Hotcat to place the category on some of the portals. It is pretty fast.
