Failed verification
Hi. I thought I had done away with my earlier challenge before you revived it. However, I still fail to see any verification of the sentence "The team had until July 2016 to excavate the site before the quarry owners required the land back." The citation's final sentence says "The team is just over halfway through the eight-month dig to uncover the secrets of the site and the people who lived there". So, where does it say the owners (who were partners in the dig) "wanted the land back"? My understanding is that a change of soil moisture content imposed a time limit related to speedy degradation of preserved timber, etc. Bjenks (talk) 16:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-19
 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
 * Some users have a problem with the watchlist. Some changes in categories make the watchlist a blank page. The developers are working on this. Until this is fixed you can try some things that have helped other editors if you have this problem. You can turn on  in your watchlist preferences. You can turn off   in your watchlist preferences. You can remove problematic categories from Special:EditWatchlist/raw.
 * There was a problem with the visual editor for several days. You could not save edits that triggered a CAPTCHA. This would for example be when a new user added external links in references. This was fixed on 2 May.

Changes this week
 * When you edit you can switch between the visual editor and the wikitext editor. This works if the wiki you edit has the visual editor. The menu will now say  and   instead of   and  . This is because it was confusing when the menu said you could switch to the editor you were already using.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 May. It will be on all wikis from 11 May (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 May at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * You will be able to get a notification when a page you created is connected to a Wikidata item. This will come to Wikivoyage on 9 May. If there are no problems it will come to most Wikipedias on 30 May. It will come to other projects and English, French and German Wikipedia later in the summer. It will be opt-in for existing users and opt-out for new users.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Markup that looks like code for language variants might need to be fixed. If  is used in transclusions or web addresses it has to be escaped appropriately. You can use   for transclusions and   in web addresses. A transclusion could for example be when you use   in a template:  . This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis.

Tech News: 2017-20
 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
 * You can now use ISBNs to automatically generate citations in the visual editor. This works on wikis that have enabled Citoid.
 * The Two Column Edit Conflict View is available as a beta feature on all wikis. It is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page.

Problems

Changes this week
 * The RevisionSlider extension will be a default feature on all wikis. RevisionSlider is an easier way to move between changes in the page history. It has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia and a beta feature on all wikis. You will be able to turn it off in your preferences.
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes
 * Administrators will soon be able to search through deleted pages.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Markup that looks like code for language variants might need to be fixed. Tech News wrote about this last week. If   is used in transclusions or web addresses it has to be escaped appropriately. You can use   for transclusions and   in web addresses. This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis. You can now see the full list of wikis with this problem and help fix them to avoid that things break later this month. You might find false positives. You can read more about what to fix.

Older unreported changes
 * Your Meta user page is shown on all wikis where you don't have a local user page. You can now add the magic word  to your Meta user page to stop this.

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Hello ,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just reviews, the  backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:43, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Octicons-tools.svg There will be a  tag around HTML from the MediaWiki wikitext parser. Gadgets with code that does not follow recommendations could have problems with this. You can report new problems you think are related to this.

Bronze star and Notablilty for WPMILHST removing Daniel Klem again
Hi Pig, I am removing Daniel Klem from WPMILHIST again. He fails notability for SOLDIER Military service does not in and of itself place an individual within the scope of the project—particularly in the case of service in modern militaries. To qualify them, an individual's military service must have been somehow noteworthy or have contributed—directly or indirectly—to their notability. A bronze star is not a notable award. To put into perspective with 170,626 BSMs with valor and 549,343 for Achievement/Service Bronze Stars were awarded during the Vietnam War alone. --Molestash (talk) 23:32, 28 May 2017 (UTC)


 * SOLDIER is about the notability of article subjects, not their relevance to a project. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:41, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

The Seven Princesses
Lovely to see you last week. I discovered The Seven Princesses at the MAK, one of the greatest works of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, but there is almost no information about it online. Despite its amazing story of rediscovery in 1995... Have you come across any good sources about it? I will check German language sources. – SJ  +  15:16, 29 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Great to see you, too. I'm sorry to have missed that; but then there is so much in Vienna I want to go back and see. Still, I enjoyed visiting the Leopold Museum, and seeing much of the art nouveau architecture I'd read about. I don't know of any sources for The Seven Princesses, other than what Google finds, but will keep a look out. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
