ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:01, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Rollbacker
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ATheFrog001 granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 09:41, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

About German Death Camps
Hello,

what kind of source you would like to have - don't you know history - there is no Nazi land - only Germany, so there were German Death Camps, not Nazi Death camps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.95.144.247 (talk) 15:43, 24 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello,


 * You were changing a wiki link to another page, namely Nazi Germany. As this is the title of the page, I would assume that this name should be consistent throughout the whole Wikipedia and therefore also in that article. If you have any more questions, please contact the corresponding WP-Project or the talk page of the article. --TheFrog001 (talk) 19:10, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

"DREAM ACT unconstructive"
I was simply fixing an error. There is so such thing as "undocumented immigrants" in United States law. They are referred to as "illegal aliens". This is a fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.20.68.96 (talk) 28 February 2017, 18:27:24‎


 * Dear 47.20.68.96,


 * If what you claim were a "fact", you surely wouldn't find any document in Congress' document search containing the words "undocumented immigrants". During my research, I found 749 hits when searching for those words. You can even see for yourself here. It is important to question things you encounter on the Wikipedia, but please, check your sources before you edit and name them in your edits.

Type in infobox album
Thanks for catching these. As you'll have gathered, I'm doing fixes to the infobox and clearing junk entries from the Type field. When I get to the end, I'm planning on getting some code added to the template to create a category that shows all of the articles where Type has no value next to it. - X201 (talk) 09:48, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Website address for an author
When I go to Wikipedia and check an author on Wikipedia, I want to know if there is a website associated with the author.

That is why I added a website for Peter Driscoll. Why is it not allowed to include an author website?

(Btw, I am vangogan, who started this Peter Driscoll author page.)

p.s. Also, there is a book of his, Heritage, which when you click it, goes NOT to the author's book, but a totally different page about Dr. Who. That link needs to be taken away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.147.225.17 (talk) 18:57, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

NPOV Confederate Memorials
Hi TheFrog001, I am not trying to present my views but the facts. If someone commits a murder like Dylann Roof and James Fields did I want the facts documented. If someone illegally pulls down a statue I want the facts documented. It does not matter to me whether they are on the Right or the Left if they are committing a criminal act. Yes the Murders are a more serious crime than a riot/vandalism, but society needs call a duck a duck in all forms of media, including wikipedia.

Personally I am well read on the Civil War Era battles, campaigns, causes (yes slavery was the main cause)etc. I am a centrist who deals with facts not ideology. As a result I end up arguing with those on the far right and far left who cannot learn from historical facts and understand the context of the time around those facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.157.243 (talk) 08:28, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Infobox song parameters
Please note that Template:Infobox song makes more use of class=plainlist and class=hlist than Template:Infobox album. Adding other list templates or  is unnecessary and may cause WP:ACCESS problems. This is explained in the template documentation for the individual parameters. Also, adding empty prev_title, etc., is unnecessary for songs, since it is only used for those released as singles. The substitution trick is sometimes helpful for cleaning up templates. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:04, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

IRT Pelham Line
Well, the original idea of the Second Avenue Line is to relieve the amount of lines currently running on same. The original plan of severing the IRT Pelham Bay Line, which was built to Dual-Contracts specifications, and sending it down the Second Avenue line would unclog the Lexington Avenue Line, and you would also free up much needed space for improved service's from the White Plains Road, and the Woodlawn Line, since the Pelham bay Line trains would essentially be out of the way running down Second Avenue instead. Do you see the logic of this plan ????

The IRT Lexington Avenue Line currently has the White Plains Road, Woodlawn, Dyre Avenue, and the Pelham Bay & Parkchester Lines causing this Lexington Avenue Line to turn into a very badly clogged artery, and with severe overcrowding for same.

I hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:6000:C400:D0B7:A43B:98BE:54BD (talk) 08:40, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Easter Egg as a Hidden Positive
This was initially on the Talk page as per procedure. Instead it was not discussed but taken down just before Easter. Then it was taken down again instead of being discussed.

Coca Cola company was contacted for information regarding the history of this Easter Egg 30 March 2018, but it has been months and still waiting for their feed back.

Microsoft Excel flight simulator: This discussion on the talk page was also removed, I am not sure how it was resolved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Easter_eggs_in_Microsoft_products Microsoft Excel contained a hidden flight simulator.[13][14]

Ernest Rutherford wikipedia article contains an Easter Egg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Rutherford Is referenced by Rutherfords Den, and email correspondence I have with the head curator. Susan Henson

I wish instead of removing something, to instead edit to add in the correct info.
Removing instead of helping info along to me is not constructive (and feels a little toxic tbh) and to create better info, it's good to propose something better! Just a suggestion, but if that doesn't happen - it's ok. People don't always have good ideas all of the time - and I see you try hard.

Hi, this is in response to you reverting my edit on the page "2020 coronavirus pandemic in Northern Cyprus". I believe it has to be noted on the page that the so-called Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is an illegal entity. You cannot say it is officially the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. It is only recognized by Turkey. The UN does not recognize it. This has to be said somewhere on the page. If the way I said it is not "constructive" like you said, please make the appropriate edit yourself to show this.

 * Hi,


 * I have reverted your contribution as it introduced vague language to an article. As per WP:WIKIVOICE and WP:NPOVHOW,


 * "Prefer nonjudgmental language. A neutral point of view neither sympathizes with nor disparages its subject (or what reliable sources say about the subject), although this must sometimes be balanced against clarity. Present opinions and conflicting findings in a disinterested tone. Do not editorialize. When editorial bias towards one particular point of view can be detected the article needs to be fixed."


 * If you think that the article has "editorial bias", please raise it on the talk page of the article, so that other editors can discuss this with you.

Hello, you sent me a message earlier asking why I removed content from the wiki page for Even God Can't Change the Past. What happened was, I’ve written most of the page but the categories were in a strange order so I copied one of the categories so I could delete that category and place it in another category but my phone ran out of battery and I forgot to paste it when it was charged. Thank you for putting the information back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.203.221 (talk) 00:08, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Philippe De Backer
Dear TheFrog001

I saw that you removed my change in the introduction of the Wikipedia of Philippe De Backer. I changed 'Secretary of State' to 'Secretary of State for Social Fraud, Privacy and the North Sea.' I did this to prevent confusion for any American readers. In the Belgian Goverment, a Secretary of State (staatssecretaris) is essentialy a Deputy Minister, whereas the U.S. Secretary of State is essentialy the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In Belgium, the Minister of Foreing Affairs was Didier Reynders in the Michel I-administration. Thus, in order to prevent confusion for American readers, I added further specification to his title, so that they wouldn't think that Philippe De Backer was the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Sincerely,

Lucas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1810:3E94:B100:D8ED:38B0:9E0D:3C04 (talk) 17:29, 26 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Dear Lucas,


 * I didn't realise this, and I'm sorry for reverting it. Feel free to go ahead and edit the page again, if you feel this edit is justified. I will remove the warning from your talk page.


 * Happy editing and stay safe,

NYC subway pages
Thanks for your edits to add archive links to NYC subway station pages. I've noticed these and highly appreciate the additions. I'd advise that many pages, especially about adjacent stations on the same line, share the same references. This can save you time if you are planning to repair references on different pages. Keep up the good work. epicgenius (talk) 16:36, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Dear epicgenius,


 * Thank you, that is a good idea! Thank you for your contributions too!


 * See you in the diff pages, and happy editing,


 * TheFrog001 - Talk to me! 22:51, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I was already planning to thank you for adding additional sources to articles, but now that Epicgenius has created a subsection on your talk page for praise, I might as well do it here. Keep up the great work!--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 22:51, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Dear Kew Gardens 613,


 * Thank you for the kind comment, it means a lot!


 * Happy editing, and stay safe,

The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.



The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.


 * On 31 March 2020, the new tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias:  Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian.  If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
 * The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page.  The team will test features such as:
 * an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
 * a rich-text visual editing option, and
 * other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.

To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the "Get involved"  section of the project page. You can also watch these pages: the main project page, Updates, Replying, and User testing.

This edition of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. The central project page is on MediaWiki.org.


 * Reply tool : This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature will get new features soon.  The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing  . You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster.  Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
 * New requirements for user signatures : Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable.  Most editors will not be affected.
 * New discussion tool : The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions.   You can see the initial design on the project page.
 * Research on the use of talk pages : The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles.  We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Editing news 2020 #3


Seven years ago this week, the Editing team made the visual editor available by default to all logged-in editors using the desktop site at the English Wikipedia. Here's what happened since its introduction:


 * The 50 millionth edit using the visual editor on desktop was made this year. More than 10 million edits have been made here at the English Wikipedia.
 * More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
 * Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
 * The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has been increasing every year.
 * Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode.  You can enable it in your preferences.
 * On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor.
 * In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers, and half of their first edits, were made using the visual editor. This percentage has been increasing every year since the tool became available.

Rainbow Bridge
I made a mistake when I removed the content of Rainbow Bridge without giving a valid reason on "edit summary". In this case there is no include a citation. We both know wikipedia is not only about "reliable sources". Neutral point of view (NPOV) is a standard that all editors should follow. Lets be clear here: the fact is Rainbow Bridge is a posthumous album by Hendrix. Is it a compilation? Depending on the definition of "compilation" it might be, but unless we are talking about typical compilations, (like Greatest Hits, The Best Of, Smash Hits in Hendrix's case) those definitions are usually vague and arbitrary. For example, the Rainbow Bridge article quotes a book to support that Rainbow Bridge is a compilation. If we look at the source, the writer is asserting tha despite the effort to create an album that worked as a unit, there is a wide range of dates, sessions and involve multiple band lineups, so it is "almost like a greatest hits album", and the release was to "milk as much money as possible". As we can see this is his opinion about the subject. His definition of compilation is vague an arbitrary. Based in this guidelines many "studio" albums released during past 60 years would fall under the "compilation" category. For example, we can't put "this is the best Jimi Hendrix album ever" on an "Electric Ladyland" article, even if we quote 50 books wrote by people who think thats the best Hendrix album, because thats against the NPOV standard. Also, an article must be precise and explicit and clear, to avoid ambiguity, misunderstanding and to be free of vague generalities and half-truths. "Compilation" for many people mean albums that are officially intended to be viewed as such, like Greatest Hits as I mentioned before, or compilation of "never seen before" material, like Hendrix's purple box set or West Coat Seattle Boy, so putting the album is that category create a lot of confusion, specially because Rainbow Bridge was not released as an compilation, but as an "official soundtrack album" consisted by songs never released before. We should also note that many albums by other artists with the same core idea didn't receive the "compilation" tag here on wikipedia. For example, Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes is an album with stuff that were recorded between 1967 and 1968, and were overdubbed in 1975 and released that year, and it's considered a "Bob Dylan's studio album". If someone want to bring the "compilation/not compilation" discussion into the article, thats okay, but that must be in the middle of the article, with a specific sessions to discuss that, and it must follow NPOV guidelines. Thats it. "Rainbow Bridge is a compilation album by Jimi Hendrix" is the right way to describe that album here on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valverde.pr (talk • contribs) 16:56, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Dear Valverde.pr,


 * I have reverted your edit mainly as it removed the type parameter from the infobox and you have not included an edit summary. Since "posthumous" is not a valid type in the infobox (see Template:Infobox album), I presume that the original editor has chosen the "compilation" tag, but from your argumentation I understand that "studio" seems to be a more descriptive type, but I personally am not an expert on Jimi Hendrix, so I think that this discussion should be moved to the talk page of the article, where other editors with more knowledge can discuss this, if required. I will not revert your change and let other editors weigh in, just note that an infobox album without a "type" parameter is invalid and is inserted into a maintenance category.


 * Happy editing,

Reply tool


The Reply tool  has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.


 * More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They  posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
 * Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
 * Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة.  ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).

The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

New requirements for user signatures

 * The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
 * Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily . Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected.  Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures.  If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.

Next: New discussion tool
Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

Retrofuture (album)
Hi. Just wanted to let you know as you don't appear to, there is no reason to include and especially not to reinsert the venue= parameter in Template:Infobox album for studio albums. We don't need to include every parameter that's part of a template unless it provides an error to not have it. I also see you reinserted the format parameter on a few song articles; this was recently deleted from the template after a discussion, so shouldn't be re-added. Also, stub templates are placed at the very end of an article, after everything else, including the categories; Template:Stub covers this. Thanks.  Ss  112   14:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Dear User:Ss112,


 * Thank you for bringing this up. I use the  feature to make spacing nicer and remove unused parameters, and it seems that they reinsert these parameters. I will restrict my use of it until it is fixed.


 * All the best,

Wikipedia Editing
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kane_Mitchell Hi, About 7 months ago you edited an article on Kane Mitchell Wafl footballer on Wikipedia.

I really like the way this article has been set out with an AFL template. I have submitted an article on Jye Bolton who is now also a Wafl footballer. His article was just accepted to Wikipedia but I would like to set it up exactly like the one you edited.

Would you be able to assist me in setting this out! I’m finding it very difficult. Thanks so much! Here is the link for you to look at

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jye_Bolton
