If I leave a message for you, please respond on your talk page, as I am watching it, at least in the short term. If you leave a message for me, I will most likely respond here. Either add this page to your watchlist or ask me to notify you of a response on your talk page. Note: I have the right to decline to withdraw from, any situation that is escalating or uncomfortable without giving a reason or justifying myself, and to take further action through permissible means. (See this policy.) Do not construe this as agreement with whatever position you have espoused, whatever snide remarks you have made, or whatever abuse you are heaping upon me. My withdrawal is nothing more nor less than a statement that I have better things to do and an attempt on my part to follow the age-old aphorism that one should never argue with a fool. If I mistakenly called your edits vandalism when I reverted them, it may have been because you did not leave an edit summary. Please realize that, in many cases, unexplained edits are indistinguishable from vandalism! Or maybe I just wasn't paying proper attention and goofed up. This applies as well to rollbacks. If you're here to troll, harass, or vandalize, I might not be able to stop you, but you will be reverted. Click here to leave me a new message.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your response and your advice. I'm still a bit confused with what you'd recommend in terms of "significant amount of coverage." I'm quite sure this company has what you're describing, so I want to make sure we fully understand exactly what you'd recommend! Thanks so much again, and please stay well.

I'd love your advice -- it looks like you declined the draft I submitted (in the subject line), and I'd love to understand why that is. I was sure to include several articles written about the subject (Business Insider, Inside Higher Ed, Williams College Record, etc.), as well as substantiating every claim about the subject with verifiable sources (ex: NBC News, Axios, PBS, etc.).

Thanks so much for your attention, and hope to get your thoughts so we can successfully submit! Thanks so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CollegeTrendingNews (talk • contribs) 21:04, 1 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@CollegeTrendingNews,

There are multiple problems with this page as this is too soon we are yet to be there at notability where we can say this company is company is notable enough to have an article here. We need significant amount of coverage and contribution to the field. Which is lacking at the momement. Future plans are useless in this regard.

Hi,

You left me a message about the page I'm trying to get Wikipedia to publish. I hope this is the proper way to respond. I'm not super-Wikipedia-skilled.

I didn't really create the page because it has something to do with being Queer. I'm an advocate for genital autonomy and believe that if people better understood how genitalia is basically the same regardless of sex, they may better see the hypocrisy of advocating for genital autonomy for only people on one end of the sexual spectrum.

I would certainly appreciate any suggestions you have to get it published.

Thanks! John Adkison

Definitely, I would love to and I should actually contribute to the article too. Let me see what I can do. I am still failing to understand the hypocrisy part of your statement but hopefully I will understand that in meantime QueerEcofeminist[they/them/their] 05:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I declined the draft article Draft:Black Note Graffiti. The new name of the draft's creator is shown in the edit history, but for some reason the AfC-submit-wizard posted the talk page message at the old username's talk page. Did a step get missed in the change of username, or is that more likely to be a problem with AfC-submit-wizard? Thanks, Storchy (talk) 06:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Storchy, I guess the rename happened when you rejected the draft. The same time for both the events could be the only answer to your question. Otherwise there is no reason to why your rejection warning could go to their earlier usertalkpage. QueerEcofeminist[they/them/their] 11:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello,

I appreciate your looking at the page Draft:1819 News. I attempted to put around the same amount of information that I saw on the published page Yellowhammer News.

Hello!

I am trying to submit a very basic article about a film production company. For some reason it keeps bouncing back stating it has are no reliable sources/references. I looked at similar companies that do have published Wikipedia articles and I honestly don't see a lot of difference. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, QueerEcofeminist,

I have a question for you as a global renamer. Occasionally, I'm looking at the Move log and I see you have moved pages for an editor you have renamed and I can see that the editor is blocked on English Wikipedia. But tonight, over the past few hours, I saw two blocked editors who were given renames! What is the policy for this? I'm not sure how global renaming works but I wouldn't think that a blocked editor would be able to request a rename. It can be confusing for admins like myself who might be keeping tabs on recently blocked editors. I'm hoping you can clarify things to me. Many thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Blocked for just username violation can be renamed but if users are blocked for more than username violation shouldn't be renamed. I am not sure which renames you are talking about. But if you provide me the links I will check with it. Users blocked for socking, promotional edit or anything else shouldn't be renamed. QueerEcofeminist🌈 11:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Liz, additionally they are blocked locally but accounts are global and rename happens on metawiki. So though they are blocked locally they can request rename and it will be processed by renamers or stewards if it is a just username policy violation. In the case of possible coi users we do assume good faith and rename them. But those who have already done promotional edits or done bad edits, page creations should not be renamed. And we do not rename them. QueerEcofeminist🌈 11:24, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Both of those comments make sense. I didn't consider the fact that they could be blocked on this project but not elsewhere. I'll dig a bit deeper and try to find those two renames I came across last night. Thank you for your patient explanations! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:05, 4 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Anytime, you can drop a message and ask for whatever you feel confusing. Obviously there is a global rename policy but it almost alignes with the acc account creation guidelines. You may go through it for further information. But yes I have been there when I first saw blocked user getting renamed. I have happy that I could be of some help to others. Thanks QueerEcofeminist🌈 09:09, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. My name is ZX2006XZ. So the trailer for Pixar's Elemental came out yesterday, alongside a new teaser poster.

Poster link: https://twitter.com/Pixar/status/1593292209758953475?s=20&t=bs9Jk2YZhTKeZ5CDFe7hvA

I'm requesting for Draft:Elemental (2023 film) to get a re-review, as it has been rejected for article submission by you.

ZX2006XZ (talk) 17:15, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To add to this, and as an active editor for the draft, I believe we have enough information to at least have a chance at re-reviewing it.

If it isn't, I'd like to know what else would be needed.

Sorry please read the instructions posted on the draft. First it's a future film and second there are too many self published sources. Such multiple accounts pleading for the review is sign of promotional attempts. So please refrain from it. QueerEcofeminist🌈 05:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

New year, new scripts. Welcome to the 23rd issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering around 39% of our favorite new and updated user scripts since 24 December 2021. That’s right, we haven’t published in two years! Can you believe it? Did you miss us?

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script[edit]

RefRenamer by Nardog is this issue's featured script. For whatever reason, the foundation will only give us better reference names in VisualEditor if we wish for it in the next survey. Nardog to the rescue! This script has a ton of options to satisfy almost anyone who wishes to use better refnames than ":0" and ":418".

Updated scripts[edit]

• Nardog: MoveHistory can now look up the move history of any page from anywhere on the site.
• User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink now has a version that copies the Special:Diff link with square brackets.
• User:GhostInTheMachine/WatchlistTidy now moves the Active Filters panel to the right so that the Show/Hide button doesn't constantly jump.
• User:Alexander Davronov/HistoryHelper has now become stable with some bugfixes and features such as automatically highlighting potentially uncivil edit summaries and automatically pinging all the users selected.
• Wikipedia:AutoEd/unicodehex.js will no longer replace legacy MediaWiki dot-entities (dot followed by two uppercase alphanumeric characters) in article links, which caused several links to become broken.

Improve a script[edit]

• Many of our favorite scripts such as User:Fred Gandt/userResourceManager, User:Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts and User:Bradv/Scripts/Superlinks haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• User:Elominius/gadget/media timer works, but its UI looks alien. Someone could improve it...
• To a lesser extent, the same goes for User:PrimeHunter/Search sort.js. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
• We want...

• ...a mark-as-read button for Watchlyst Greybar Unsin
• ...a tool to automatically fix CAT:BROKENREFs, preferably a fork/addition to User:TheJJJunk/ARA
• ...a fix/fork of User:DannyS712/SectionRemover.js to make it work

Requested scripts[edit]

• A WP:3O requesting and responding tool, similar to Terasil's classic edit request tool
• A "bytes removed"/"added" filter on the user contribs page
• A review tool for WP:proposed deletions
• Mass patrol new pages by a user for use in WP:RFP/A
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

New scripts[edit]

• Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin is a rewrite of Ais's Watchlist Notifier with modern APIs and several new features such as not displaying watchlist items marked as seen (hence the name), not bolding diffs of unseen watchlist elements which doesn’t work properly anyways, displaying the rendered edit summary, proper display of log and creation actions and more links.
• Alexis Jazz: Factotum is a spiritual successor to reply-link with a host of extra features like section adding, link rewriting, regular expressions and more.
• User:Aveaoz/AutoMobileRedirect: This script will automatically redirect MobileFrontend (en.m.wikipedia) to normal Wikipedia. Unlike existing scripts, this one will actually check if your browser is mobile or not through its secret agent string, so you can stay logged in on mobile! Hooray screen estate!
• Chlod:
  • Deputy is a first-of-its-kind copyright cleanup toolkit. It overrides the interface for Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations for easy case processing. It also includes the functionality of the following (also new) scripts:
    • Attribution Notice Template Editor (ANTE) graphically modifies content attribution notices. It is the successor to User:Chlod/Scripts/CopiedTemplateEditor and supports more templates than ((copied)) ones.
    • Infringement Assistant allows a user to hide sections of a page for suspected copyright violations and report the page to the appropriate Wikipedia:Copyright problems noticeboard.
• User:Elominius/gadget/diff arrow keys allows navigation between diffs with the arrow keys. It also has a version that requires holding Ctrl with the arrow key.
• Enterprisey
  • diff-permalink-2 allows quickly copying wikilinks to diff and permalink pages from those pages, a variation of existing script User:Enterprisey/diff-permalink
  • archiver is a fork of Σ's Archiver with several bugfixes.
  • /parent-cats highlights categories that are a subcategory of a category already included in a page's categories.
• User:Guarapiranga/accessKeysCheatSheet adds an access key shortcut to display all shortcuts based on code provided by Nardog and NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh.
• User:HungKhanh0106/ProperDisplay loads a bunch of fonts to add correct rendering supports for "esoteric" languages.
• User:Jeeputer/highlightPiped will make piped links irresistible (or else).
• User:Jerome Frank Disciple/curlyfixer.js adds an WP:AutoEd function that straightens curly quotes per MOS. That's right! Such a module was only made in the 14th year of AutoEd's existence! Configure away!
• Frequently link to Wikipedia on your websites yet find generating CC-BY credits to be such a hassle? Say no more! User:Luke10.27/attribute will automatically do it for ya and copy the credit to yer clipboard.
• User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft, a spiritual successor (i.e. fork) to Evad37's script, with a few bugs solved, and a host of extra features like check-boxes for choosing draftification reasons, multi-contributor notification, and appropriate warnings based on last edit time.
• Nardog
  • /CopyCodeBlock: one of the most important operations for any scripter and script-user is to copy and paste. This script adds a copy button in the top right of every code block (not to be confused with <code>) that will, well, copy it to your clipboard!
  • /RCMuter: Hide specific users, perhaps User:MediaWiki message delivery, from the Watchlist and Recent Changes.
  • /VitalTopicon makes you see the vital article topicon on WP:vital articles.
• m:User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AceForLuaDebugConsole.js adds the Ace editor (a.k.a. the editor you see when editing JS, CSS and Lua on Wikimedia wikis) to the Lua debug console. "In my opinion, whoever designed it to be a plain <textarea> needs to seriously reconsider their decision."
• Novem Linguae
  • DraftCleaner fixes formatting of new articles.
  • GANReviewTool quickly and easily closes good article nominations.
  • ReviewStatus displays whether or not a mainspace page is marked as reviewed.
  • SpeciesHelper tries to add the correct speciesbox, category, taxonbar, and stub template to species articles.
• User:Opencooper/svgReplace and Tol's fork replaces all rasterized SVGs with their original SVG codes for your loading pleasures. Tell us which one is better!
• User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages adds a button to highlight all unreferenced paragraphs in reds, and can even do it automatically.
• Still hate Vector 2022's floating TOC? User:Phlsph7/UnfoldedNumberedTOC(Vector2022) might make you give it a try.
• Quite a bit of pages at Special:WantedCategories either exist now or got removed. User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/hideUnwantedCategories automatically hides those.
• User:SuperHamster's Wikipedia:Tools/View it! generates a gallery of images for a given subject on any Wikimedia project utilizing Structured Data on Commons. Images can then be added as needed.
• Terasail
  • ArticleInfo displays page information at the top of the page, directly below the title.
  • /HeaderIcons takes away the Vector 2022 user dropdown and replaces it with all of the icons within, top level, right next to the Watchlist. One less click away! There's also an alternate version that uses text links instead of icons.
• ...and any more, all available at WP:US/L.

Due to budget and procrastination limitations, we've only had time to review the first ~39% of the scripts since last issue. Help us out here! Aaron Liu (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
