Editing newsletter 2022 – #1
Read this in another language • Subscription list for the multilingual newsletter • Local subscription list



The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Village pump (proposals). You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences.

The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project.

Killing of Jayland Walker
Hi. You've probably noticed I've reverted some of your edits. Please do not change the language in the article without also providing sourcing that supports that language. Don't just change the words without changing the sources. Levivich<sup class="sysop-show">[block] 17:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Don't Boss volunteer editors around. All U.S. Police use pistols for sidearms. Handgun is a broader, generic term. Study before you delete. Deleting is a bold move. Don't be bold unless you are right. We are not supposed to copy sources verbatim. That is plagiarism, according to the policies and guidelines of our encyclopedia. Also, please don't delete facts. Either add a citation, or tag it with a maintenance tag, like: citation needed, or: disputed. He was not shot 90 times, as stated. That is a fact. Fix things, don't just delete them. Use common sense. I can school you, if you need it. I fixed a wrong statement. If you have the time to add the citation, go for it. Deleting correct facts is not the intent. Cheers! Take care. PS: that blurry screenshot from a streetcam is completely useless. We don't need clipart on the encyclopedia. Study the MOS, but also use common sense, per the MOS. Having fun! -

Copyright violation on KOJW?
Hey, what's up with the "copyright violation" tag you put up over at Killing of Jayland Walker? What specific sentence do you believe is plagiarized? I took a look at the sources, and didn't see the thing you claim is copied verbatim or whatever? Some detail would be nice to help sort out the issue. Thanks! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 07:08, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * - The blanked text is verbatim from one of the linked citations.
 * From which citation, specifically? Please provide a link! Okay, nevermind, I think I found what you were referring to and I copied and pasted that (along with the link!) to the article talk page. It's not quite verbatim, but some similar common words are used such as "officers" and "aware" and "pursued" etc.  Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 09:12, 17 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey, I edit in good faith. Please stop taking out my edits just because you don't like them. And, I know a lot about this stuff, from many angles. We all bring something to the table. Thanks. Cheers!  06:36, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am absolutely positive that you have had many valuable life experiences and that yes, you know a lot about different things from many angles. I'm not trying to discount anything about you, and it looks like you've been here at Wikipedia for a good while now, making many edits over the years!  Just to clarify, I didn't revert the most recent changes to the lede "because I don't like them" but because this is essentially a WP:BLP (a sensitive one at that, due to recent events!) and so we need to carefully report in-line with exactly what the reliable sources are saying.  We can't insert words like "hot pursuit" or "high-risk traffic stop" unless a good number of credible, reliable sources are using that very language.
 * It's important to be extremely careful with articles like this, and not to take liberties or editorialize, etc. I don't mean any offense to you at all, because there were a number of other editors who were coming to the page to straight up vandalize the article in the days following Walker's death, and trying to downplay the fact that he is black, even though that is what all of the reliable sources are saying and often-times in the very title of their news articles.  So it's a prominent fact, not a cause, but a truthful and important detail about his identity and a relevant part of the story.  I wasn't referring to you with my comment on the article's talk page, but to folks who had previously come to vandalize the page (just look at the edit history from a number of days ago!).  Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 10:50, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
