Park Ji-Min(Jimin) being the main dancer and lead vocalist in the boy-band BTS

He is not the main dancer seeing as Jung Ho-Seok(J-Hope) of BTS is the main dancer. He is also not the lead vocalist, Jeon Jung-Kook(Jungkook) is. There was also information removed about the 95 liner member of BTS which only leaves people in curiosity. 41.114.230.159 (talk) 23:15, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Recent changes

• The Wikisources use a tool called ProofreadPage. ProofreadPage uses OpenSeadragon which is an open source tool. The OpenSeadragon JavaScript API has been significantly re-written to support dynamically loading images. The functionality provided by the older version of the API should still work but it is no longer supported. User scripts and gadgets should migrate over to the newer version of the API. The functionality provided by the newer version of the API is documented on MediaWiki. [1][2]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 December. It will be on all wikis from 8 December (calendar).

You know on your user page you said vandals hate you well thats damn right — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16a2:de1a:7e00:4904:54ce:4299:705d (talk) 17:05, 17 December 2022‎ (UTC)

Deletion of page William Bishop

Dear Ferien,

Thank you for your message.

With regards to the deletion discussion, I re-edited the page to correct the reasons of each editor so that the page fulfilled notability criteria and was not promotional in tone.

All my Love and Happy Holidays Musikfan500 (talk) 23:27, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there Musikfan500. When I looked at the article it was almost identical to the article when it was deleted at RfD. As notability is an issue that cannot be solved simply by improving the article, I would still recommend not recreating the page, and going to Wikipedia:Deletion review if you disagree with my decision. Kind regards, --Ferien (talk) 23:29, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Dear Ferien,

Thanks again for the message. I have a number of additional sources to add which further clearly establish notability, under at least two of the notability criteria outlined by Wikipedia for musicians. If you look at the article history, the article was changed after each comment. I would not wish to disagree with your decision, however, I believe the article should stand, as I have made all requested corrections.

All my Love Musikfan500 (talk) 23:40, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Musikfan500, I'm afraid I still don't believe the article showed notability, and it was eligible for "G4" as the article was a very similar copy of the article that was very recently deleted by RfD. --Ferien (talk) 07:04, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Dear Ferien,

Thank you for the message. Please allow me to give you a fuller explanation of what I mean. As far as notability is concerned, (according to Wikipedia’s own criteria for notability of musicians and academics, which can be found by searching for ‘notability’ on the Wikipedia main page) the topic fulfils the criteria of having released two or more albums on a major label, having rotation on a national radio station and having made a notable work in an artistic movement and having work taught in Universities. It appears you are just not familiar with the artist. I’m not familiar with many artists either, which I think is what Wikipedia is useful for. I am just following Wikipedia’s policies. I’m sure you have read the policies and don’t disagree with them. I’m not asking you to believe me, it’s the policy of the website.

The article may be similar to, but is not a copy of, another article. If you’re writing about a topic more than once in different articles some of the information will be the same. It is a different article. The frustrating, and potentially disruptive, thing about this is that the original article which was deleted was already heavily edited to address all concerns of each editor, and no further objection was made thereafter. I understand your reasons completely but it just appears, in the face of all the evidence, I think we must agree to disagree.

All my Love and best wishes for the new year, Musikfan500 (talk) 08:28, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 9 January 2023.

Recent changes

• On a user's contributions page, you can filter it for edits with a tag like 'reverted'. Now, you can also filter for all edits that are not tagged like that. This was part of a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [6]
• A new function has been used for gadget developers to add content underneath the title on article pages. This is considered a stable API that should work across all skins. Documentation is available. [7]
• One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues. [8]

Problems

• Last week, all wikis had no edit access for 9 minutes. This was caused by a database problem. [9]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
• The word "Reply" is very short in some languages, such as Arabic ("ردّ"). This makes the Discussion tools button on talk pages difficult to use. An arrow icon will be added to those languages. This will only be visible to editors who have the Beta Feature turned on. [10] [11]

Future changes

• Edits can be automatically "tagged" by the system software or the Abuse filter management system. Those tags link to a help page about the tags. Soon they will also link to Recent Changes to let you see other edits tagged this way. This was a Community Wishlist 2022 request. [12]
• The Trust & Safety tools team have shared new plans for building the Private Incident Reporting System. The system will make it easier for editors to ask for help if they are harassed or abused.
• Realtime Preview for Wikitext is coming out of beta as an enabled feature for every user of the 2010 Wikitext editor in the week of January 9, 2023. It will be available to use via the toolbar in the 2010 Wikitext editor. The feature was the 4th most popular wish of the Community Wishlist Survey 2021.

Events

• You can now register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, taking place on May 19–21 in Athens, Greece. You can also apply for a scholarship until January 14th.

The cooler Anomalocaris

Hi Ferien, I noticed that a user's name "The cooler Anomalocaris" might be problematic. What do you think? There is already an established and active user with the name Anomalocaris. Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 12:30, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey. I think I see what you mean if you think I'm trying to impersonate them, but I just liked the name "Anomalocaris" (to me, it sounds funny).

I would like to know if there are any other issues, or if that wasn't the right one. The cooler Anomalocaris (talk) 12:32, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@The cooler Anomalocaris: I think that calling yourself cooler than them might be a bit insulting, or maybe the person wouldn't mind. Let's ask. @Anomalocaris:. Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 12:36, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Alright, sounds good. Asking might be a good idea to not make anyone feel bad. The cooler Anomalocaris (talk) 12:37, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

I didn't notice this until now, so I pulled it out of the archive so I could reply. The cooler Anomalocaris is OK as a user name as far as I'm concerned. Please identify yourself as "The cooler Anomalocaris" and not just "Anomalocaris". —Anomalocaris (talk) 01:59, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!

Happy holidays, Ferien! Hello Ferien, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a pleasure to have you as a fellow Wikipedian this year (even tho I may no longer be active here, I'll always remember how you were a good mentor). Wherever you are, enjoy the festive season and stay warm (if you're north of the Tropic of Cancer)! Your help in maintaining, improving and expanding Wikipedia will always be appreciated. Greetings from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. --SHB2000 on SHB2000 (talk) 11:57, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Congratulations!!

• Sooner within few hours, you are going to be new crat as you are overwhelming getting voted by the community. So, congratulations in advance! I remember since my enter in this community when you welcomed me (in TTP1233). Years passed and you became an admin and now as crat. It's fortunate for me that I got you as my mentor. If I didn't get excited and did the madness over enwiki, I shouldn't have blocked again. But still, it's an honor working with you alongside in this community. I wish you all the best for your term as not only a crat but also a good editor.

With Best Wishes --Dibyojyoti^{let's chat} 12:22, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

I did not Vandalize KFC

I was adding an infobox Chjocgxidhxodzhi (talk) 16:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Chjocgxidhxodzhi, I reverted your change because it was incorrectly showing that KFC used the McDonalds logo, which is wrong information. You are welcome to readd the infobox but please make sure that all the facts in there are correct. Thanks. --Ferien (talk) 23:09, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Ferien, I added back the infobox but with the KFC logo instead of McDonalds, which is correct information. You are welcome to look at the article. --Chjocgxidhxodzhi (talk) 05:51, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
