Check on nomination
Aye Piotrus. I just nominated the Tadeusz Kościuszko page for FA. For all my editing experience I have never nominated a page for FA before, so I'm hoping I did everything correctly. There was mention about a nomination number, but I didn't see one, so could you check into matters to see if everything was done right? Thanx. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 17:42, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

About Wikipedia Adventure

Disambiguation link notification for March 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Administrative division of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Wilno Voivodeship, Nowogródek Voivodeship and Wołyń Voivodeship (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

VisualEditor newsletter—March 2014
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on changes to the template and image dialogs.

The biggest change in the last few weeks was the redesign of the template dialog. The template dialog now opens in a simplified mode that lists parameters and their descriptions. (The complex multi-item transclusion mode can be reached by clicking on "Show options" from inside the simplified template dialog.) Template parameters now have a bigger, auto-sizing input box for easier editing. With today's update, searching for template parameters will become case-insensitive, and required template parameters will display an asterisk (*) next to their edit boxes. In addition to making it quicker and easier to see everything when you edit typical templates, this work was necessary to prepare for the forthcoming simplified citation dialog. The main priority in the coming weeks is building this new citation dialog, with the ultimate goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs, URLs, DOIs and other quick-fills. This will add a new button on the toolbar, with the citation templates available picked by each wiki's community. Concept drawings can be seen at VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. Please share your ideas about making referencing quick and easy with the designers.


 * The link tool now tells you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. Pages that exist, but are not indexed by the search engine, are treated like non-existent pages.
 * Wikitext warnings will now hide when you remove wikitext from the paragraph you are editing.
 * The character inserter tool in the "Insert" menu has been slightly redesigned, to introduce larger buttons. Your suggestions for more significant changes to the special character inserter are still wanted.
 * The page options menu (three bars, next to the Cancel button) has expanded. You can create and edit redirect pages, set page options like ,   and   , and more.  New keyboard shortcuts are listed there, and include undoing the last action, clearing formatting, and showing the shortcut help window.  If you switch from VisualEditor to wikitext editing, your edit will now be tagged.
 * It is easier to edit images. There are more options and they are explained better.  If you add new images to pages, they will also be default size.  You can now set image sizes to the default, if another size was previously specified. Full support for upright sizing systems, which more readily adapt image sizes to the reader's screen size, is planned.
 * VisualEditor adds fake blank lines so you can put your cursor there. These "slugs" are now smaller than normal blank lines, and are animated to be different from actual blank lines.
 * You can use the Ctrl or Command shortcuts to open the save window, and you can preview your edit summary when checking your changes in the save window.
 * After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed to the Interlingual Occidental Wikipedia, the Portuguese Wikibooks, and the French Wikiversity.
 * Any community can ask for custom icons for their language in the character formatting menu (bold, italic, etc.) by making a request on Bugzilla or by contacting Product Manager James Forrester.

The developers apologize for a regression bug with the deployment on 6 March 2014, which caused the incorrect removal of  size definitions on a handful of pages on the English Wikipedia, among others. The root cause was fixed, and the broken pages were fixed soon after.

Looking ahead: Several template dialogs will become more compact. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. You will be able to see the Table of Contents change live as you edit the page, rather than it being hidden. In-line language setting may be offered to a few Wikipedias soon.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on 19 April 2014 at 2000 UTC. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Mass PROD of articles
Hi Piotrus, I've removed the PROD tags from some of the articles you tagged this morning. We try and promote a friendly collegial environment here, so I'm rather disturbed by the way you've filled a relatively new and less experienced user's talk page with 72 PROD notifications. You clearly believe these articles don't meet our notability criteria (I disagree) but this would be something you should have discussed with Mrluke485 first, instead of burying the poor chap under a whole host of impersonal boilerplate warnings, which can be very off putting.

I believe I and several other editors have now removed all of these PROD tags, as we believe notability is asserted, if you do wish to take this to AfD, I'd be grateful if you could discuss this with myself, Myluke485 and any of the other users who removed your PROD tags first. Many thanks, Nick (talk) 12:37, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I share Nick's concern about these prods, and also for another reason: I haven't checked them all, but those I have sampled have had corresponding articles on other Wikipedias (with some form of references or external links as apparent sources), presenting the realistic possibility that the subject is notable. English Wikipedia's notability standards may differ, of course, and the final determination is not dependent on whether another Wikipedia decides differently.  But WP:PROD is supposed to be for uncontroversial deletions, and I have doubts that it's the best way to handle articles like these, where an apparently stable article about the subject exists in another language.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:19, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Georg "Åby" Ericsson
Hello and sorry to bother You here. I created the article about Georg "Åby" Ericsson, but unfortunately I did spell his name wrong, and thereby also the name of the article was spelled wrong. (His Chistian name is "Georg" not "George") Since I don't know how to rename an article, I did create a new one (correctly spelled this time) and copyed everything. I gather this isn't correct way to deal with such matters. And am unsure of if Your history credentials vanishes ? I just wanted to alert You about (hopefully) minor thing. I'm sorry for this. But as I see it, it is better to change the article name to the correct one, as soon as possible. Boeing720 (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

About Week 5 assignment
Hi, Piotrus. I added a reference to Self-justification article. I thought the example in this article is related to the book which I read, and the reference I added is also just cited in the book.

Regarding Article: Manhattan Film Academy
Regarding your proposed deletion  of the article, I find it unreasonable because according to Notability (organizations and companies) "An organization is generally considered notable  if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources" and the article does have reference sources which includes IMDB, Dubai Government's Studio City, etc...  and the organization is active in Middle East and New York City, and has received a wide coverage in world the media which includes "Variety" and Hollywood Reporter.

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. , who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Template:Tributaries of the Vistula
Hello Piotrus -- that Vistula template was a good short education in itself, and I am still happily busy elsewhere on Polish geographic articles, doing minor stitching. As to the general question of retaining red links in templates, I'd agree with you, but I've seen a contrary opinion advanced by at least one vocal and rather unbending editor who has at times busied himself completely removing ALL red links from templates, "because the article doesn't exist" and "write the article first". Speaking personally such disputes are often out of proportion to the amount of underlying work actually getting done. Maybe you feel the same way. all best to you --Lockley (talk) 07:13, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup error

Who's Afraid of Peer Review?
Hi Piotrus, why did you change the organization of the references in this article? While I appreciate your efforts and corrections to the references, I find the reorganization troubling. With all the references grouped at the end of the article, it becomes very difficult when editing to see whether or not perhaps a reference gets deleted and should be removed from the end section. As far as I am concerned, the organization should not have been changed, but perhaps there's a compelling reason for this? --Randykitty (talk) 10:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

trans_title
Where the title of a reference is non-English, there are the language and trans_title parameters available where the language can be noted and an English-language translation can be provided. One article that could do with this is Maria Konopnicka. Also, a plea for a space before each pipe separator in references so that word-wrap is more natural. -- 79.67.241.229 (talk) 14:44, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

algorithmic logic
What I have done is just a stub.

I am planning to write full article on algorithmic logic for
 * it is earlier and better developed than 'dynamic logic',
 * it has real applications

Concerning the bibliography item. I do not find a template that is as good as the template of PL Wikipedia, in the english wikipedia. So I did a bit provocative editing. Would you guys tell me if there exists a way to organize a Bibliography in a way similar to what can be found in https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Kreczmar#Bibliografia

The concept of references is similar but distinct. I think that a scientific articles need Bibliography section as it is done in scientific journals.

Advice
Cześć Piotrus, Michał Słaby się kłani. I'm very impressed by your work and thank you for your commitment to this endeavor. You seem very experienced with it and though I have long navigated Wikipedia as an end user, I am new to Wikipedia as a contributor and seek your advice. Mianowicie, jak odwiedziłem Babkę w Polsce w ubiegłym roku, miałem okazję ją nakręcić jak opowiadała swoją historię w Kresach i tak dalej. Zrobiłem z tego film, skorzystając podczas editingu z wielu żródeł na Wikipedia. Zauważyłem że było dużo na temat historii polski w języku angielskim ale że te artykuły nie były zawsze w najlepszy stanie. Postanowiłem to poprawić ale wówczas oczywiście byłem zbyt zajęty z innymi tematami. Skoro film jest prawie skończony i mam trochę więcej czasu na to, założyłem sobie konto na Wikipedia. Zacząłem poprawiać stronę na temat miasta Trembowli, postanowiając dodać link do kawałku filmu gdzie właśnie Babka opisuje to miasto. Problem w tym oczywiście że to moja Babka w moim filmie na mojej stronie gdzie ja staram się sprzedać sztukę. Chcę pomóc jak mogę w celach Wikipedii, ale nagle się obawiam że cokolwiek bym zmienił na lepsze, to co najbardziej chciałbym dodać jest zamieszane z konfliktem interesu. Co byś radził na ten temat?

Entry for Network of International Business Schools
Hello, and thank you for your ongoing contribution efforts to Wikipedia. While I appreciate that notability is a concern for any encyclopedic repository of information, I object to the proposed deletion of the entry or Network of International Business Schools for the following reasons:

-organization is worldwide in scope -has existed for over 20 years -has meaningful operations, including academic accreditation -similar associations/organizations have entries

The evidence provided in support of the rationale for deletion is insignificant media coverage. I will endeavour to address this through improvements to the article, particularly addition of suitable references. By nature, coverage of the organization is often within publications within the university realm, and thus not always well-indexed. Moreover, the organization itself is not of a nature that strives for media coverage but, rather, is merely 'known' among schools of business, making a Wikipedia entry particularly useful.

Kind regards,

ProfessorBiz (talk) 10:22, 20 April 2014 (UTC)ProfessorBiz

Your guidance in this regard is appreciated. I am reviewing the relevant Wikipedia pages regarding notability, and will endeavour to address concerns raised, using sources that specifically meet the criteria indicated in these pages. I agree that standards are important, and look forward to enhancing the credibility and usefulness of this and other Wikipedia entries.

Mova nanova
First of all, the Mova Nanova initiative gains its due notability by the fact that it reflects an important aspect of the cultural life of the present day Belarus touching upon the vulnerable issue of the language situation in the country. •	Given that the initiative is voluntary and has gained traction among people of different background, then spread to almost all regional centres, still on a voluntary basis, and is acclaimed and supported by notable cultural personalities and famous people, it demonstrates the shift in the attitude of common people towards the Belarusian language, which image has long been “disfigured”. In this case the article has its value for the English-speaking readers by giving the information on the cultural and linguistic sides of Belarusian life, and at the same time demonstrating the social topicality of the issue. •	The article represents the translation of the Belarusian version of Wikipedia and supplements the scarce information about Belarus in its English version, helping the English-speaking readership give a more clear view of the country and explaining some of the questions like “Why isn’t Belarusian the language that you can hear on the streets while in Belarus?” and “What is the situation like these days?”, and etc. •	For a long time the Belarusian language has been unjustly considered to be the language of peasants and the illiterate, even in the not too distant 90s of the XXth century. This page demonstrates the issues that the Belarusian-speaking minority (and those aspiring to become Belarusian-speaking) is confronted with, and how these issues are tackled with in the present day context, which is again the reflection of the Belarusian cultural aspects. This point is referenced by the figures of the latest census and UNESCO statistics. •	The page also arises the problem of the linguistic disproportion of Russian and Belarusian in the bilingual environment on the territory of Belarus (de jure) that has long held true, at certain historical points going to extremes with adverse anti-Belarusian propaganda and targeted governmental actions aimed at its elimination. The page offers the information for further familiarization with by linking to the page about the Belarusian language. •	Finally, the information on this page is backed by the references from independent nation-wide online sources of information and news portals (TUT.BY, Belsat TV, Euroradio.fm). The limited quantity of such references can be explained by the fact that usually negative events are given higher priority on the newsworthy scale and get more media coverage, whereas cultural events are given a smaller share of press attention in flagship publications, and are often reprinted from the leading information sources by other minor news organizations. (Moreover, please, give due attention to the fact that the page deals with the de facto linguistic minority, which reduces the press coverage of this activity even more, which doesn’t lessen its notability though). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Умецкі Максім (talk • contribs) 17:19, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor newsletter—April 2014
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.


 * In an oft-requested improvement, VisualEditor now displays red links (links to non-existent pages) in the proper color. Links to sister projects and external URLs are still the same blue as local links.
 * You can now open templates by double-clicking them or by selecting them and pressing  Return.  This also works for references, images, galleries, mathematical equations, and other "nodes".
 * VisualEditor has been disabled for pages that were created as translations of other pages using the Translate extension (common at Meta and MediaWiki.org). If a page has been marked for translation, you will see a warning if you try to edit it using VisualEditor.
 * When you try to edit protected pages with VisualEditor, the full protection notice and most recent log entry are displayed. Blocked users see the standard message for blocked users.
 * The developers fixed a bug that caused links on sub-pages to point to the wrong location.
 * The size-changing controls in the advanced settings section of the media or image dialog were simplified further. VisualEditor's media dialog supports more image display styles, like borderless images.
 * If there is not enough space on your screen to display all of the tabs (for instance, if your browser window is too narrow), the second edit tab will now fold into the drop-down menu (where the "" item is currently housed). On the English Wikipedia, this moves the "Edit beta" tab into the menu; on most projects, it moves the "" tab. This is only enabled in the default Vector skin, not for Monobook users. See this image for an example showing the "" and "" tabs after they moved into the drop-down menu.
 * After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed as an opt-in feature at Meta and on the French Wikinews.

Looking ahead:  A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this on your own page, subscribe at VisualEditor for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you!

OER inquiry
Hi, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Whenever you have time, can you review this for me? Not sure what else is needed, for it to be accepted. &#9780; Jaewon &#91;Talk&#93; 19:32, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with Afc either. I became curious in the time for it to be reviewed and now know why new users avoid it. Well, I managed to find some Korean articles that backed-up the English ones (Kim Joong-do, Company debut and 10th year anniversity). Which parts seem spammy? Removed some references while adding others. Once I get this reviewed, I'll see if I can become a reviewer for Afc Korean articles. Thanks for the feedback. &#9780; Jaewon &#91;Talk&#93; 13:31, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I worked on it some more by rearranging, rewording, removing and adding information (sources too). I find it funny that everything you reply back, I find new articles (good and bad). Not sure which part was promotional but I think I removed it while editing. AfC needs more reviewers needs the backlog is big. &#9780; Jaewon &#91;Talk&#93; 15:21, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 April newsletter
Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's, whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included, who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and , who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from, tiger from and The Lion King from. We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to and  for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.

192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

RE: Naming of Kościuszkowców Memorial article
I called it Kościuszkowców Memorial reluctantly - I realise it is something like Dave's's in English - a monument for a group named after someone, so I couldn't figure what it should be in English so stuck with the Polish version (remember I don't actually speak Polish yet). I do check with my Polish wife but she doesn't have too much patience for my Polish enquiries ;) All I could think of differently might be Kościuszko Infantry Division Memorial or something similar.

Kosciuszko's artillery manual
Found some interesting info about Kosciuszko's Maneuvers of Horse Artillery, one of the first text books used at West point, which helped to  earn him the reputation and title of "Father of the American artillery". I would like to cite this using an existing source, Storozynski, but the Google listing doesn't show the page number. Can you somehow find this out? (i.e. Do you have the actual book?) There are other sources (1, 2), but I'd prefer Storozynski so we don't have to add other sources to the Bibliography. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 16:52, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Piotr, apologise for my late revert, I am travelling. I accepted the article on the basis of two premises; (a) The citations in the article and my own searches returned adequate references, (b) the branch of science the subject of the article practices was worth of notice from an encyclopedic perspective. I believe an encyclopedia is a reservoir of knowledge where the access is through search and not by random reading and as such, any worthwhile piece of information should not be denied space.

VisualEditor newsletter—May 2014


Did you know? The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates. If your wiki has enabled the "" menu, press "" and select the appropriate template from the menu.

Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "" item in the "" menu.

Read the user guide for more information.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.

The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "" item in the "" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.

Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.


 * There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction.  This allows editors who have opted in to use the "" tool in the "" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this:   . This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.
 * The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "" item in the "" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
 * The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field.  Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
 * TemplateData has been expanded:  You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones.  "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work.  There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names.  The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
 * Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
 * Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency.  The message shown when you "" out of an edit is clearer.  The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie.  As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
 * Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
 * In the "" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
 * There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData.  You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box.  If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
 * There have been multiple small changes to the appearance:  External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki.  This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links.  The styling of the "" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin.  VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images.  Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
 * The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
 * At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.

Looking ahead:  The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "" link will be moved out of the "" menu, into the "" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at 10:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project.

RE: Cleanup for you
Hi there,

Re cleanup on draft articles about Draft:The memorial in memory of the Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust and Draft:Korczak's Last Walk: A Sculpture by Nathan Rapoport. I started going over them and Wikilinking, etc and the memorial is "worthy" (especially as Korczak is a hero) but beyond the first paragraph, the rest of the page (both drafts seem similar) is just info that isn't directly relevant (i.e. should just be linked to with the existing articles - on the synagogue, the sculptor, Korczak). The only new data is on the sculptor himself, which could be woven into his article - but we don't know where it came from or if it's accurate.

There really isn't a load of information there - and, sadly, even if there was a photo, it's not the most photogenic monument around (I checked to see if it actually existed by checking Google's Streetview where I got the address from and checked the inscription and description).

I've added the Warsaw monuments to Korczak to my "possible to translate" list when I'm feeling energetic. Sorry I couldn't be much help with that one.Escottf (talk) 13:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
