 * Tool of the week
 * wdumps allows you to create a limited RDF dump from Wikidata, for those times when your SPARQL queries keep timing out. It is not particularly user-friendly, and it typically takes several hours to get a complete dump, but it is the best way to for example get a list of all English names of humans in Wikidata, or a list of every scientific article with its title and DOI.


 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * The former WikiProject iNaturalist was renamed WikiProject Biodiversity to allow discussions beyond iNaturalist.
 * Special:FewestRevisions to be disabled, if you are currently using it, please leave a comment
 * Winners of the Wikidata competition during Museum Day 2020: VIGNERON, Alexmar983, Braveheart, Pasleim, Benoît Prieur, Uli.ch, Nono314, Sukkoria and Airon90. Congratulations!
 * As part of a thesis project, the search engine "Lister" has been developed to make it easier for the general public to access data on the Semantic Web in general, and WikiData specifically. It's in a usability test-phase right now, and if you'd like to try it out and help improve it, you can do so at this link. The test should at most 15 minutes.
 * Follow the discussion about restricting editing of properties to autoconfirmed users.
 * New domain  to be adopted by our Toolforge community. New domain/scheme for Toolforge-hosted webservices will change from   to     with the aim to introduce permanent redirects for the legacy URLs on 2020-06-15.
 * Wikidata development team is currently running a survey until June 9th to understand better how people access and reuse Wikidata’s data from the code of their applications and tools (for example through APIs), and how we can improve the tools to make your workflows easier. If you would like to participate, please use this link (Google Forms, estimated fill-in time 5min).

Tech News: 2020-23
 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
 * There is a new beta version of the Wikimedia Commons app for Android. It has a new zoom function when you look at images. It can also suggest places when you upload geotagged photos.

Problems
 * There was a problem with the Commons database on 27 May. Commons could not be edited for eight minutes. Because of this problem the database was moved. This caused another short read-only time on 29 May.
 * The Vector skin had a problem where you couldn't add links to the article in other languages. You couldn't see the section if there were no links to other languages already. It also removed content translation links and links to language settings. This has now been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * You can get a notification when someone links to a page you created. You can turn these notifications off for individual pages. You can soon turn them off also in the notifications you get.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 June. It will be on all wikis from 4 June (calendar).

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Television in Bahrain television by century


A tag has been placed on Category:Television in Bahrain television by century requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Please slow down
Hi TheImaCow. I have spent some time reviewing your account history following your request that I renew your rollback tool.

In the last two months, you have made significantly more edits than I have made in my entire time on Wikipedia – over six years of heavy, active editing, totaling many thousands of hours. Your dedication and effort is admirable and I'm glad to have you around. However, you are going far, far too fast.


 * You seem to be mass-tagging and "assessing" talk pages of articles, sometimes/often assessing 5+ articles in a single minute. How you read and provide a useful assessment of all those articles in that amount of time escapes me and often outpaces acceptable guidelines for WP:MEATBOT. As one of many examples, you "assessed" 54 articles in six minutes between 15:29, 28 May 2020 and 15:35, 28 May 2020.
 * You have made a number of mass-CheckWiki edits, mostly purely WP:COSMETIC (e.g., , , , , etc.) You seem to have made thousands of these edits.
 * You seem to be nominating otherwise-harmless drafts where the author blanks the page for G7, seemingly by finding those drafts via automated tool/script, en masse. These drafts would already have been deleted under G13 anyway and are ultimately all low-priority. By tagging them you're actually creating more work for admins, who have to review them individually, without any real benefit that I can see. G13s, after all, can be handled almost automatically via database report.
 * It seems you've been mass-creating categories and their corresponding talk pages, such as 26 creations between 09:42, 2 June 2020 and 09:49, 2 June 2020. Those categories are empty and are now about to be speedy-deleted under C1.

I've spent hours that I don't have looking at thousands of your edits now and I'm only back to reviewing edits from 10 days ago. Please, slow down. From an outside observer's perspective, I hope you understand that it looks like severe editcountitis and stat-chasing (e.g. the userbox that says you've nominated over a thousand pages for speedy deletion, when all I can see for thousands of edits back is G7s and the like). When you make a lot of edits with marginal value, it's not just your time you're spending; it's also the time of people like me who have to review your edits, people who see your edits on their watchlist and have to review them, people who notice problems and take the time to try and fix it and coach you through it, people who have to respond to your requests (such as admins responding to your G7s), and on and on. It also prevents people from meaningfully reviewing your edits because it takes so much time to look through them – I have been feeling frustrated because it seems to me that for a lot of your edits, I'm spending more time reviewing them than you spent making them. I hope I'm not discouraging you, because I think you're a fine editor who will get better at these kinds of things. But I really hope that you take my advice here very seriously.

Because of these recent issues, I am not going to be able to renew the rollback tool for your account. That doesn't mean that you won't get it back from me – just right now I would prefer if you would concentrate on slowing down and making less automated edits and more manual edits, if you can. I will be happy to review a request to re-add the rollback tool in a month or two if you've taken this advice to heart. If you re-apply at PERM or ask another admin to add the group, I ask that you link to this post on your talk page in your application. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 06:07, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, in any case, thanks for the statement. Honestly, I've noticed it a bit already for myself, I'm going to think about that now. --TheImaCow (talk) 07:13, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your comment on user:kcsnooker
Hello, Thanks for your note that the article was moved to sandbox. Wanted to check if this will impact the article getting published in anyway. I am quite new to Wikipedia, hence wanted to make sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kcsnooker (talk • contribs) 16:59, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Categories
We don't create categories for taxa that currently have few articles, like the genus Daphniphyllum. Please see the guidelines at WikiProject_Plants/Categorization. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:08, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for your tip! And what to do with the categories now? Delete them? Leave them? Or anything else? --TheImaCow (talk) 12:05, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * If a category is empty, then edit it and put at the top. An admin will come along and delete it eventually. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:42, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Reply about my deleting two dead links
Hello, ThelmaCow

My grandparents in Chadwick, IL had 13 children and there was a big (for the area) news article about the father (my gramps Rufus) going off to fight in the European Theater (WWII). My aunts each had a unique voice and I loved them all. Very few remain when we are all fortunate enough each Father's Day to reunite. Lois is still alive. So is Diane. And Janice in Louisiana. Gone but not at all forgotten are Wilma and Lila and Elaine and Thelma. Here in Apalachicola I've made friends with yet another widow whose name is also Thelma. A while ago she sold the Scipio Creek Marina and I could hardly blame her, since it was her husband involved in its daily run. SO it's nice to meet you.

I've just signed in and I reckon I ought to have before making these latest edits. I have edited lots and lots of times, usually typos or word order. Once in a great while I delete a dead link - or at least it's dead when I click on it, getting a 404 not found page. Such was the case with the transcript of the infamous Troggs Tape and one other link that at the moment I cannot recall. You have re-instated that link and let me know I was not clear as to my actions but I rather thought I was when I explained why I made the call. I very nearly always explain my decision/correction and this is the first time someone has reached out to me to find out why I did what I did.

Please advise me for future edits. As you might be able to glean (even though historically I rarely signed in) I've had no troubles in the past. If a link is dead, doesn't one delete it? Thank you for reaching out to me and thank you for not assuming I was a vandal. Our world is so troubled not so much by hateful people as by people who jump to the sad conclusion that someone has done something untoward for no good reason. My definition of a loser is not someone who cannot hold a job or raise a family. No, those are tough activities to sustain. To me a loser is someone who blames others for everything that goes wrong in their life. I try to own up to my decisions and I tend always to give others the benefit of a doubt.

As you have done for me. Thank you.

Cordially I am,

Using rollback
Regarding RedWarn - you might want to request rollback permissions over at WP:RFP/R, then, once successful, changing RedWarn's rollback method in your preferences from "rollback-like" to "rollback". It does make a slight speed difference, which may be convenient for your counter-vandalism efforts. Ed6767  talk!  18:57, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Recent changes
 * Some articles have tables that can be sorted in different ways. For example a list of countries can be sorted alphabetically but you can click on the size column to sort them by size. If you clicked on the column a second time it would sort the countries from the bottom to the top instead. A third click will now take you back to the original sorting.
 * Self-closed tags now work as in the HTML5 specifications. This means you should stop using some of them.  is an example of a self-closed tag that won't work.   can be self-closed. Pages with tags that should not be self-closed have been listed in a tracking category since 2016. They will be listed in Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag. This doesn't affect   or.
 * There is a banner called . It is for example used by the Wikivoyages, Wikimedia Russia and the Catalan, Basque, Galician and Turkish Wikipedias. It will now been seen by mobile visitors too. Before this it was only seen on desktop. The wikis should update instructions on   so that editors know to test and style for mobile too.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-tools.svg You can now edit MassMessage descriptions through the API. This is useful for tools and gadgets.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 June. It will be on all wikis from 11 June (calendar).

Future changes
 * A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use TemplateStyles instead. 118 wikis need to fix this. You can read more and see if your wiki is affected.

RedWarn - Quick Survey
Hello TheImaCow! Thank you so much for testing RedWarn so far. I kindly ask that you fill in a short survey regarding the future of RedWarn and to help me visualise general user opinion surrounding certain features.

To access the survey, visit: https://devices.edxt.net/redwarnSurvey

Thank you again for your continued feedback and support, it is greatly appreciated. Ed6767  talk!  22:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

If you'd like to opt-out of receiving messages regarding RedWarn, or have any questions, please let me know on my talk page.

Accessibility

G8 nominations
Hi! On 6 June, you nominated the talk-pages of about 50 articles on minor sports players for deletion as G8, "talk page of a page which does not exist, has been deleted, or is itself currently tagged for speedy deletion". I haven't checked every one of them, but in no case that I have checked has the page been either deleted or nominated for deletion. I'm guessing that these nominations were the result of a mistake of some sort? Could you kindly remove those tags that are mistaken, that would be helpful. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:25, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , Hello, I almost wanted to say that I have no idea why the talk pages now have related articles. But now I just found the reason, namely that one user deleted all the pages that were created by an specific user. Now these pages have been restored, including talks. For example, the logs of such a page, and the log of its talk. TheImaCow (talk) 11:34, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Removal of Puerto Rican links on Greater Antillean grackle page
I removed the "see also" links on the Greater Antillean grackle page because those links should only be used for birds endemic to Puerto Rico. The grackle can be found elsewhere in the Caribbean, and therefore should not have those links attached to its article.

Inaccurate Age Edit
Hi, my name is Lauren with Hertz.

The battle with Germany over the tribal land of Grand Danois

The Austrian Dr. Leopold Joseph Franz Johann Fitzinger (1802-1884) was a zoology professor at the "Kaiserlich-königlichen Naturalien-Cabinetes zu Wien" (Naturhistorisches Museum) and was also director of the newly created zoos in Munich ( Englischer Garten ) and Budapest. Dr. In 1867 L. Fitzinger gave 3 lectures on the Austrian counterpart to the "Royal Danish Society of Sciences " ( Society of Sciences ); in modern times called the "Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften" (today "ÖAW"). The three lectures are a doctoral dissertation, which later becomes his book " Der Hund und seine Racen. Naturgeschichte des zahmen Hundes, seiner Formen, Racen und Kreuzungen"(Tübingen, 1876). His dissertation, and book, are considered one of the main works of dogs, not least because all known knowledge about dogs is covered in the dissertation, the content of which is a division of all (180) dog types into seven basic types. [ 87]

In the description of The Danish Dog, by Dr. L. Fitzinger designated " Der grosse dänische Hund (Canis leporarius, danicus) " indicates 24 contemporary and older source references, none of which are Danish. Everyone, without exception, describes The Danish Dog as a Danish dog. [88] Against this background, there is a consensus that up to the year 1880 the Danish Dog (Grand Danois, Great Dane) is the large hunting dog bred in the Danish landscapes from the time of arilds.

The first dog show took place July 14-20, 1863, in St. Louis. Pauli-Turnhalle in Hamburg, where the dogs were divided into "Class 26 Dänische Doggen" (8 dogs participated) and "Class 27 Ulmer Doggen" (7 dogs participated). This division continued at the dog shows in 1869 and 1876 in Hamburg, and was valid until and including the dog show in Hannover 1879. [89]

The Danish-German relationship - including power relations - changed significantly during this period. Denmark lost the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein in the Second Schleswig War in 1864 and thus became a state without a German-speaking population element, [90] and the German Empire was established in 1871 with Otto von Bismarck as chancellor 1871-1890. [91] The new unified Germany needed national symbols to mark the strength and position of the new superpower.

From left are Princess Dagmar, Prince Vilhelm and Princess Alexandra. Seated Crown Prince Christian (later King Christian 9.) with his harlequin Grand Danois in 1861. From "Our Dogs" (Danish Race Dog Club, 16th year, no. 7, July 1935, front page and p. 116). The picture is taken by kgl. court photographer Georg Emil Hansen in Copenhagen From the "Otto von Bismarck Foundation's website" and the satirical weekly magazine Kladderadatsch of August 1878, it can be deduced, [note 2] that Bismarck appointed the Danish Dog "Reichhund" on or immediately after the Berlin - Congress June-July 1878; [92] The idea was that the German Empire, with its new land gains and superpower status, should have a kingdom dog that could reflect the greatness and strength of the newly created kingdom.

At Bismarck's request, a commission was set up in 1878 under the direction of Heinrich Bodinus, director of the Berlin Zoo (Director of the Zoological Garden of Berlin) and 6 other German dog experts. The Commission was named " Kynologischer Verein Hektor ", where this commission names "the German rich dog" with the name "Deutsche Dogge". From 1880 it is only allowed to mention the Danish Dog with this name in the newly created German Empire. [93]

Editor of the "granddanoise pedigree" and co-founder of the Danish Kennel Club Viggo Møller in 1887 described what was going on in contemporary times, quote: [94]

"	But now the Germans want to see the term "big Danish dog" out of the world. For the past 8-10 years, they have started doing dog sports, and although their cynology is still at the starting point, there is a great deal of hard work, and they are not afraid to annex in this area as well [...] In this regard, the German Association "Hector" in particular, and by Articles and Images try to establish that the big Danish dog should be called "Deutsche Dogge" [...] If the big Danish dog is preserved for us, it is on about time. The main thing, of course, is that we know the dog and help the English, the French and, on the whole, Europe, to keep the name right in front of the Germans, especially the Association "Hector".	" - Viggo Moller: The Dog and the Dog Breeds, 1887, Eleventh Chapter; etc. Captain Wilhelm Dinesen, Karen Blixen's father, was also very knowledgeable and interested. [95] W. Dinesen commented on the case in 1892, quotation: [96]

"	I should first note that the name of the famous dog breed, which the Germans would now renamed the German Dogge, all over the earth in all civilized languages ​​is not or has not been the Danish Dog, but the big Danish Dog […]	" - Danish Hunting Journal (Organ for Danish Hunting Association, No. 5, August 1892); Danish Hunting Journal (Organ for Danish Hunting Association, No. 7, October 1892, cover). Initially, the naming of the German Commission ( Kynologischer Verein Hektor ) had no consequences outside the German Reich, as the English-speaking countries and France continued to call the dog Great Dane (Danish Dog) and Grand Danois (Chien danois). [97]

The issue remains dormant until the Nazis take over power in Germany in 1933. By an order from the Gestapo dated July 20, 1935, all dog clubs in the Third Reich are dissolved. Towards the end of 1936, the organized German dog service became subject to the Ministry of Reichsernährungsministerium and the Army Commander (Oberkommando des Heeres) under SA ( Sturmabteilung ).

The new Nazi-controlled German dog service "Reichsverband für das Deutsche Hundewesen" (RDH) then sent a letter to the Danish Kennel Club, [note 3] in which RDH announced that at the upcoming general meeting on July 22, 1937, the international dog organization Fédération Cynologique The International (FCI) in Paris would ask for the Danish Dog (Grand Danois, Great Dane) to be renamed Deutsche Dogge; this time around the world. [98]

The letter from RDH was processed at the board meeting of the Danish Kennel Club on December 5, 1936. It appears from this board meeting report that the Danish Kennel Club had, in response, sent a "Standard for the Danish Dog (Grand Danois, Great Dane) - Stamland: Denmark" to RDH. This standard description of the Danish Dog had been prepared and approved at the board meeting of the Danish Kennel Club on March 18, 1935. [99]

During the spring and early summer of 1937, the Danish Kennel Club dealt with the matter at two more board meetings. The minutes of the Board of Directors of March 30, 1937, show that it was decided to ask the Danish press and cultural attaché, Helge Wamberg, at the Danish legation in Paris whether he would defend the interests of the Danish Kennel Club in this case. However, this was denied by the attaché. The minutes of the Board of Directors of May 29, 1937, show that Henry Larsen, a member of the Board of Directors of the Danish Kennel Club, who was living in Geneva at the time, requested instead. [100]

In addition to Henry Larsen, the Danish delegation consisted of Ferdinand Prior, Honorary Consul General of France and Bank Director of the Banque des Pays du Nord in Paris. Ferdinand Prior was the little brother of Hans Peter Prior, f. Trade. In addition, C. Hagbarth Christensen, as chairman of the Special Dog for the Danish Dog (participated in 1951 renamed the Grand Danois Club in Denmark). [101]

From the French minutes of the FCI General Assembly on July 22, 1937, it appears, quote: [102]

"	Sir. Ferdinand Prior, who represented the Danish Kennel Club in the assembly, gave a knowledgeable lecture stating from several quotes that the breed in question had been called "Danish dog", "Danish" from ancient times, both in scientific papers and in everyday language. doen, grand danois "or simply" Danish ", and that throughout Europe without exception, also in Germany. " - Minutes of the FCI General Assembly on July 22, 1937, in Paris. Secretary-General Baron Albert Houtart of the International Dog Organization, Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), added and signed the following text to the minutes, quotation: [102]

"	The lecture was not followed by any debate or resolution following a statement by Mr Glockner, RDH's chairman and representative of the association at the general meeting. ... Sir. Glockner stated that the issue had been put on the agenda by mistake and that RDH had not made any official request to change the term "Grand Danois."	" - Minutes of the FCI General Assembly on July 22, 1937, in Paris. The explanation for Verbandsführer Hans Glockner's opinion is given by C. Hagbarth Christensen, [103] chairman of the "Special Dog for the Danish Dog", in his subsequent report on the event in October 1937. After the conclusion of Ferdinand Prior's lecture in front of the entire board of the Federation Cynologique International (FCI) heard, quote: [104]

"	An overwhelming applause, affecting both the speech and the speaker, broke loose and the authoritative conductor only slowly managed to restore calm. The President of the Reichsverband, Hans Glockner, promptly asked for the word and stated that the Reichsverband had never written or sent this letter, which was the preamble to this whole case. It was, in his opinion, also the stupidest letter he had ever heard. Immediately, the conductor intervened and determined that Denmark was right in its own right, for although the Germans had bred the breed, this did not justify them changing the nationality and name of the dog.	" - C. Hagbarth Christensen: Denmark won the battle for "Grand danois", "The dog" (Danish Kennel Club, 1937, October, pp. 165-173). In other words, the FCI General Meeting on July 22, 1937, held that "Standard for the Danish Dog (Grand danois, Great Dane) - Stamland: Denmark", which had been approved at the board meeting of the Danish Kennel Club on March 18, 1935, was and is correct standard.

Time passes, Germany lost World War II ; a war that had a negative impact on people and animals, including dog breeding. The restoration of organized dog breeding and exhibitions began to regain momentum in 1947-48.

The Dutch cynologist, PMC Toepoel, was an active author during the period 1942-49, and is regarded as an authority in the preservation of Dutch dog types, [note 4], especially the Dutch sheepdog Schapendoes. [105]

Toepoel publishes, among other things, the reference book "Toepoel's Hondenencyclopaedie" (Amsterdam, 1949).

Excerpt of 5 pages total letter, dated 15111948. The letter is written by FCI Secretary-General, Baron Albert Houtart, Governor of the Province of Brabant, Belgium. The recipient is the Dutch cynologist PMC Toepoel. The letter is copied to the Danish Kennel Club. On November 5, 1948 Toepoel wrote a letter to the Secretary-General of the FCI, Baron Albert Houtart, Governor of the Province of Brabant, Belgium. The reply from the FCI, signed by Baron Houtart, with a copy to the Danish Kennel Club , is dated November 15, 1948. This letter reviews the FCI's general meeting on July 22, 1937 and the dispute between the Danish Kennel Club and the German dog organization on the Danish Dog. [106] In his letter PMC Toepoel had asked the following questions to the FCI, quotation: [106]

"	Are the so-called "German doe" and the so-called "Grand Danois" two different breeds? Is this a dog that Denmark (Denmark as country of origin, RED) can claim or a national German breed?	" - Historical archives at the Grand Danois Club in Denmark. To this letter, the FCI, which the FCI had also outlined earlier in the year 1937, responded with quotation: [106]

"	For FCI, this breed has always been - and remains - a national, Danish breed, and only the standard registered by the Danish Kennel Club is official in our eyes.	" - Historical archives at the Grand Danois Club in Denmark. The international dog organization FCI is regulated by a set of statutes. [note 5] Until January 2010, these statutes required a quorum to add new, or modify existing, approved standards for FCI approved breeds. As of January 2010, amendments to a standard are approved by the board, if made by the breeding country of the breed. According to the FCI, such a decision has not been made. [107]

The FCI statutes also provide that only the breeding country (country of origin) of a dog breed is eligible to submit a dog standard to the FCI. [108]

It appears from the minutes of the FCI General Assembly in 1957 that the Standard Commission is now reactivated, implied after it was shut down since, and because of World War II. [109] The German Dog Organization, now called the Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH), unsolicitedly submits a new standard for Grand Danois dated November 18, 1961 to the FCI. This standard was first stamped "Received" in the Danish Kennel Club on March 17, 1976. VDH's action is in violation of FCI's statutes. Why the standard submitted by VDH to the FCI is only received by the Danish Kennel Club 15 years later, neither the FCI nor the Danish Kennel Club can explain.

Excerpt of standard for Grand Danois, submitted by the German dog organization, Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH), on November 18, 1961 to FCI. Received by the Danish Kennel Club on March 17, 1976 + excerpt of standard for Grand Danois, submitted by VDH, May 31, 1988. Received by the Danish Kennel Club on June 22, 1988. The standard submitted by VDH in 1961 does not mention the tribal country in a single word, which country is still Denmark. Since the standard is not used in Denmark, it has not had any practical significance, and it therefore seems that in the Danish Kennel Club, as well as the Grand Danois Club in Denmark, the standard was not given further thought at the reception in 1976. It is first with the new standard that VDH filed on May 31, 1988 to the FCI that all words linking the Danish Dog with Denmark have disappeared and only "Deutsche Dogge" appears in the text, while at the same time it is stated that the dog is and "Deutsche Rasse".

The case was brought by the Danish Kennel Club to the FCI Executive Board at the meeting in Madrid 24-25. February 2010, during which the Danish Kennel Club, as in 1937, presented a comprehensive testimony that the Danish Dog is a Danish dog and that the parent country is therefore Denmark. At the meeting, it was decided that the FCI should conduct further investigations and provide feedback. [110]

FCI gave the result of the investigation in a feedback to the Danish Kennel Club on 11-12. September 2012, [note 6] where FCI announced that nothing has been contradicted by the Danish Kennel Club 's claim that the breeding ground for the Danish Dog (Grand Danois) is Denmark. [111]

Despite the fact that the FCI has not received objections from the VDH, the website of the German Grand Danois Club ( Deutscher Doggen Club ) states that the German Grand Danois club is of a different attitude than the Danish Kennel Club, quote: [112]

Citat	And Germany being the country of origin of the breed. But there is no rose without thorns. France and other Anglo-Saxon countries still name it as "Grand Danois" or "Great Dane" - a tall Dane. It will remain a riddle why this naming was first used by a French naturalist Buffon (1707-1788) in literature. There is no evidence that Denmark has contributed in particular to the creation of the breed. Citat - Website of the 'Deutscher Doggen Club' - History on the 'Deutsche Dogge' (Great Dane). The case is thus awaiting the final decision of the FCI. On the Danish side, the Danish Kennel Club expects the FCI to adapt the classification of the Danish Dog to the FCI's own decision in 1937 and later ratified in 1948, quotation: [106]

"	For FCI, this breed has always been - and remains - a national, Danish breed, and only the standard registered by the Danish Kennel Club is official in our eyes.	" - Historical archives at the Grand Danois Club in Denmark. By contrast, the Deutscher Doggen Club hopes to maintain the current situation and thus the country of origin of the dog remains Germany. [112]

Maddux closure
I am puzzled by your closure of the Maddux (statistic) AfD. How did you determine there was a keep consensus when there had been no discussion following a relist? I created the page so it's the outcome I believe right but I still don't understand it. Thanks and best, Barkeep49 (talk) 13:13, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I see that you answered Praxidicae below about the AfD they brought forward but I would like an answer about how you determined a keep consensus at Articles for deletion/Maddux (statistic). Thanks and best, Barkeep49 (talk) 16:10, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , The reason for the keep was, well, the two weak keeps. In your commentary I saw neither a "keep" nor a "delete". And, since the discussion had been relisted unsuccessfully before, I assumed that there would be no further discussion this time either. -- But I wouldn't have anything at all against relisting the AfD again, if you want that/if that's how it should be. TheImaCow (talk) 16:22, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , I thought it could have reasonably be closed as keep before the first relist. But once it's relisted once my view is that if there's no discussion that should be a relisted again - the consensus hasn't changed. A third relist is a different issue - we're encouraged to make closes at that point. I think this speaks to the broader issues that identified below. I too had seen those XfDs and I think this kind of nuance is why it would be better for you to reverse this close and to stay away from XfD closing for at least six months.

NAC
Please undo your keep here. One single no-substance !vote is not a clear keep and this should be relisted. Please also read WP:NAC and WP:RELISTBIAS. I'd strongly discourage you from any further NACs given your very short tenure here and relative inexperience in deletion areas, including AFD. Praxidicae (talk) 13:30, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks for the notice. This is probably a good idea .. TheImaCow (talk) 15:16, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I hope you'll heed my advice and refrain from any NACs for the foreseeable future (including FFD NACs, as they appear to be problematic too.) Praxidicae (talk) 16:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Just to note about the AfD as closed, the nominator's !vote in an AfD is by default delete unless otherwise stated. So as closed, it would be 1–1 vote for delete–keep, which is a very small quorum indeed. If you look at it in a another perspective, it would be a contested PROD because of the 1 keep !vote. Since it's already at AfD, the relist I endorse. &#123;&#123; reply to &#124;Can I Log In&#125;&#125; 's talk page! 17:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi TheImaCow. In my capacity as an uninvolved administrator, and pursuant to WP:NACD, I am also overturning, or in the process of overturning, the following NACs of deletion discussions:
 * Articles for deletion/Kabhi Saas Kabhi Bahu
 * Articles for deletion/OtherView
 * Articles for deletion/Warfare Noise
 * Files_for_discussion/2020_May_6
 * Files_for_discussion/2020_May_30
 * Articles for deletion/Rind Khan
 * Remember, WP:BADNAC states that non-administrators should not close discussions when the "outcome is a close call". In Kabhi Saas Kabhi Bahu and OtherView, there was only one participant who preferred keep and the nominator (who preferred delete). That is not clear enough to be a NAC. In Warfare Noise, you closed the discussion after two relists (relists, by definition, indicate that it's a close call), without any further comments – that is not clear enough for NAC. Similarly, the two FfDs you closed had only one comment from the non-nominator, and in Rind Khan, you closed after an admin relisted, without further comments from participants.
 * I would urge you generally to refrain from closing deletion discussions (or other discussions) for, at minimum, six months. Closing discussions is a task that takes a great deal of experience and understanding, and generally, discussion closing is not a significant backlog. You can make far greater contributions by taking the time to actually provide comments on AfDs after review (yes, it will take longer; my AfD !votes generally take me 15 minutes each or more of research, thought, and writing).
 * In the area of closing discussions, as well as in general across Wikipedia, the problems that are caused by every wrong action taken are many times worse than the good that comes out of every correct action taken, because of the time it takes others to review, the frustration that it causes, and worst of all the chance that incorrect actions will slip through review. Please, in everything that you do, keep in mind what I wrote just three weeks ago. I genuinely don't mean this as a threat (and I won't take any action myself), but I am concerned that you are headed towards sanctions if similar problems persist.

Estonia
Given the contentiousness of the Estonian templates a CSD isn't appropriate, but I would be highly surprised if a new TFD didn't result in everything being merged (potentially into the main template). Primefac (talk) 14:24, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

<section begin="technews-2020-W27"/> 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
 * Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now.
 * Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed.

Changes later this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 July. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).

Future changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg The Modern and Monobook skins use the ID  for the go button. This is   for Vector. To have the same ID for all skins it will change to   in Monobook and Modern too. This will affect gadgets and user scripts. It will happen on 23 July. They should be updated to use  . You can read more and see a list of affected scripts.
