user talk pages

It's probably not helpful to remove changes from user talk pages when the poster will just put them back. I, for one, prefer to take care of my own talk page. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:43, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I'll let you deal with that. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 05:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

email to you

Hello, Ferien. You have a new email! Please check it at your convenience.
You can take off this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{YGM}} template.

This is the first time, and I am just doing a trial, please reply me at email so that I may know that whether the email really works or not! Regards! Haoreima (talk) 15:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima:  Doing... --Ferien (talk) 15:33, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done. The email is working! --Ferien (talk) 15:35, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Do you see my email address? I saw yours! Haoreima (talk) 16:37, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: Yep, I saw your email address. --Ferien (talk) 16:43, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Then, is that not under privacy? I mean, can't it be hidden? To you, I am ok. But sometimes I will not like others to show it. Haoreima (talk) 16:47, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: Unfortunately, email addresses cannot be hidden. What happens is you send an email via wiki@wikimedia.org and then it sets the person to reply to as your email address. Then a normal email conversation begins where you can see each others' email.

Lots of people prefer only using email for issues that should not be discussed onwiki (e.g. oversight) so you should only be emailing people you trust anyway. Best regards, --Ferien (talk) 17:13, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism on Superman

Hi, I noticed the vandalism on Superman with no admins to intervene. Should I put it on meta:SRM? (I can't put in on meta:GSR because there are over 10 admins here.) Thanks. —TypicalWikimedian (talk • contribs) 20:00, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @TypicalWikimedian: I don't think you should put it on SRM. There have been admins active today and they will add protection if they think it's necessary. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 20:27, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien in my opinion it would be best to request page-protection for the Superman article, the IPs will keep coming back to vandalize. IAmSwiz (talk) 18:36, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@IAmSwiz: That page has already been protected by Eptalon. --Ferien (talk) 18:38, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien No, I meant the articles talk page. IAmSwiz (talk) 18:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@IAmSwiz: Oh ok. In my opinion it's not great for talk pages to be protected at the same time as the article as no IPs can make edits on the page, or make suggestions on the talk page. However, you're welcome to post on WP:AN for the page to be protected. --Ferien (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien Alright, please protect my talk page as well, the Polish IP address keeps vandalising it. Thanks - IAmSwiz (talk) 18:55, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

@IAmSwiz: I can't protect it as I'm currently not an administrator. You'll have to request on the administrators' noticeboard. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

why'd you revert my changes? all i did was add more detail. it made the article more accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.69.194 (talk • contribs) 20:05, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 19 July.

Recent changes

• AutoWikiBrowser is a tool to make repetitive tasks easier. It now uses JSON. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON and Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Config. Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/Version has moved to Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPage/VersionJSON. The tool will eventually be configured on the wiki so that you don't have to wait until the new version to add templates or regular expression fixes. [1]

Problems

• InternetArchiveBot helps saving online sources on some wikis. It adds them to Wayback Machine and links to them there. This is so they don't disappear if the page that was linked to is removed. It currently has a problem with linking to the wrong date when it moves pages from archive.is to web.archive.org. [2]

Changes later this week

• The tool to find, add and remove templates will be updated. This is to make it easier to find and use the right templates. It will come to the first wikis on 7 July. It will come to more wikis later this year. [3][4]
• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

• Some Wikimedia wikis use Flagged Revisions or pending changes. It hides edits from new and unregistered accounts for readers until they have been patrolled. The auto review action in Flagged Revisions will no longer be logged. All old logs of auto-review will be removed. This is because it creates a lot of logs that are not very useful. [5]

Reaction

Hey pal! Could you please tell me how will you react to things like this:- https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/7618511

For myself, it's a laughing matter, I think so. Haoreima (talk) 13:00, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

@Haoreima: In terms of onwiki, I just revert it obviously. It can be something to laugh at, yes, depending on the scale of the vandalism. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 13:21, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism on Talk:George

Please could you help remove IP vandalism on that talk page? Thanks. --Bangalamania (talk) 19:43, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

@Banglamania:  Done :) --Ferien (talk) 19:45, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

p.s. you know that you could undo the vandalism yourself. SHB2000 (talk) 09:18, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2021-28

The winner this Translation of the week is en:El Palo Alto Please be bold and help translate this article! El Palo Alto (Spanish for 'the tall pole' or 'post') is a coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) located in El Palo Alto Park on the banks of San Francisquito Creek in Palo Alto, California, United States. It is famous for its historical significance and as the namesake of the city of Palo Alto. As of July 2016, El Palo Alto is currently 110 feet (33.5 meters) in height, down from 162.2 feet (49.4 meters) in 1814. Its top progressively died from 1865 to 1955 from lowering of the water table so that its roots could no longer reach sustenance.

Successful RfA...

Hello Ferien, I have closed your RfA as successful; you had 20 support votes, and on one opposed. This was one of the lcearest RfAs we have had in the last time. Anyway, keep up your good work, and use the tools wisely. Also don't forget to subscribe to the admin maling list. All the best. --Eptalon (talk) 20:34, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Eptalon. I look forward to helping the community with these new tools. Regards, :) --Ferien (talk) 20:36, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Haha, thanks Etoza :) --Ferien (talk) 20:52, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Belwine signing?

Hi Ferien (congrats on adminship), But have you been signing stuff with your old signature? I keep saying the Belwine one even after you changed it. I'm only saying this because its confused me, and quite possibly some other new users.

(I hate my signature, its bland) Elytrian (contact) 08:11, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elytrian. I haven't been signing stuff with my old signature, at least, I don't think so... All posts with my old username should be before 14 April and any signatures with the red background and emojis and my old username should be before March. If you find any with my old username that were posted after 14 April, please give me a few diffs and I'll have a look into it. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 08:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm sure I saw one, but since I'm in incognito and I can't see Belwine's contributions... might take me a while to track that page down. Till then, your reply is... acceptable. :P

Elytrian (contact) 08:23, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

@Elytrian: Oh ok :P --Ferien (talk) 08:25, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Congrats!

Hello Ferien, I am late but congratulations on becoming an admin! Hope you will keep doing the good work :) ~ Hulged (talk) 16:35, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

You're not late at all. Thanks for the support, Hulged :) --Ferien (talk) 16:36, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Well I already congratulated him but... the more the merrier! Congrats! For the third time! -- Elytrian (contact) 16:38, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

    • The request for deletion template must stay, though. Others have issues with whether the subject of the article actually exists as there are no reliable sources on them. --Ferien (talk) 09:08, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi

I see that wiki profile of Jorge Jomenez Torres is pretty much complete. You should proceed to removed the RfD

Thanks

I don't think that protection is necessary right now. However, I have added that page to my watchlist and will protect if necessary. --Ferien (talk) 14:06, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Now protected for a week, we'll see how it goes. --Ferien (talk) 17:48, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

If it’s really that guy, I suggest deleting the user page too. Darubrub (Let me know) 16:46, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Meh, I'm not really sure whether it would be necessary to delete that page. I've added it to CAT:TWU though. --Ferien (talk) 16:49, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Move request

Would it be possible for you to move Coronavirus disease 2019 to COVID-19? This is the name used on the main English Wikipedia (as well as a lot of other non-English Wikipedias) as the most common name for the disease (also, I personally think it is more accessible as a term for people who don't speak English as their first language). I have brought this up on the talk page and Darkfrog24 seems to have given tentative agreement to the move. --Bangalamania (talk) 23:39, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

@Bangalamania: I'll wait a few days for a little more discussion, then move. --Ferien (talk) 09:30, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2021-29

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Sèvres Egyptian Service Please be bold and help translate this article! The Sèvres Egyptian Service is a name used for two sets of tableware made by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres during the First French Empire. The first was produced between 1804 and 1806 for Napoleon I and was presented by him to Alexander I of Russia in 1808, as a diplomatic gift following the Treaties of Tilsit. It is now held in the State Museum of Ceramics in Russia. The second set was produced between 1810 and 1812. It was intended as a gift from Napoleon to Empress Joséphine. The service consisted of 72 plates with the wells depicting scenes from Egypt based on sketches made by Vivant Denon. Joséphine refused to accept the service, which she described as "too severe". It was returned to the factory and given as a gift to the Duke of Wellington by Louis XVIII in 1818, following the Bourbon Restoration. The service was purchased by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1979 and, except for one plate, was loaned to English Heritage to display at Apsley House, London, the former residence of the first duke.

Fandom copyright violation?

Didn't see the article, but isn't https://macross.fandom.com/wiki/Macross_VF-X2 CC BY SA 3.0? That should be a compatible one. Leaderboard (talk) 14:58, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for spotting that, Leaderboard... I've restored the article with added attribution as that would be required. --Ferien (talk) 15:01, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

If you want, I can import the history of that article into Wikibooks (as us sysops have importupload), and you can import it from Wikibooks and history-merge. This will preserve the full history of the article. Leaderboard (talk) 15:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary to go to that much effort, I think attribution on the talk page is enough. Thank you for offering to do that though. --Ferien (talk) 15:15, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
