Shane Duffy
You deleted something I added because it didnt have a citation and then wrote to me about it. How lazy? Why didnt you just google it and find a citation and add it yourself? It is very easy to delete other peoples work. In this case you should have just got the citation yourself and wrote to me explaining. I hate the destructive attitude of some wikipedia editors who take great joy in deleting the work of others. It would have taken the same time to add a citation as to delete. I do not understand your behaviour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.46.24.169 (talk) 05:10, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Your response is entirely illogical. Your position is indefensible. It is not a contribution to simply delete efforts of others. I get the impression that all you are doing is building the number of edits so you can move up the wikipedia editor rankings. The quality of those edits should be your focus not the number. Simply deleting or reverting edits is very lazy. If you dont have time to do a proper job then do not do it. Leave the job for someone who cares about doing a good job. There is no excuse for your attitude. I hope you reconsider the way in which you are operating on wikipedia. Make a real positive contribution rather than just deleting the positive contribution of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.46.24.169 (talk) 15:14, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not defending uncited edits. I am attacking lazy edits of all types. If you cant be bothered or dont have time to check if there are citation available for a recent addition then dont get involved, leave the job to another editor who will do a proper job. Your attitude is the same as a school teacher who has no books and then refuse to teach because of the lack of books. Of course having no books is indefensible. However it is indefensible that the teacher doesnt make an effort. 2 wrongs do not make a right. You should address your actions. Your lazy editing is doing more harm than good. 190.46.24.169 (talk) 20:18, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

<section begin="technews-2016-W38"/> 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
 * Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back because of bugs. Creating new accounts did not work between 15 September 19:10 UTC and 16 September 12:50 UTC.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will hopefully be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 September. It will be on all wikis from 22 September (calendar). This is the version that was meant to go out last week.

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 20 September at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can join the next meeting with the Architecture committee. The topic this week is multi-content revisions. The meeting will be on 21 September at 21:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Wikidata will start working on adding support for Wiktionary. The Wikidata development team is now taking one last look at the development plan.

<section begin="technews-2016-W39"/> 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
 * If your wiki wants numerical sorting in categories you can request it after a community decision. See how to request it.
 * When you edit text and mention a new username they are notified if you add your signature. Before this only happened under certain conditions.

Problems
 * The MediaWiki version that was supposed to come to the wikis two weeks ago was put on hold again because of new problems. The MediaWiki version after it is now on all wikis.

Changes this week
 * There will be no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings
 * You can join the next office hour with the Wikidata team. The meeting will be on September 27 at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
