About the low-RAM devices
Hi Ferien, I recently came back after a long break. I am totally amazed that I can edit pages on Wikipedia on an Android tablet with only 512 MB of RAM, even on desktop version. This model is EBL71024, a 7 inch EGL tablet that runs Android 4.4, and I am using Chrome version 81 on this device. It is possible to edit Wikipedia on any device that has less than 512 MB of RAM? Thank you. BP001002004008 (talk) 21:00, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Windows 10 PRO/Home from what I've heard can run on 512mb ram, so you likely can edit Wikipedia with that little ram. --Tsugaru let's talk! :) 01:15, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- I guess you could with a properly optimized operating system eg: Linux, its entirely possible and one person has probably tried it before. kolva | chat? 01:26, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker) Hi, I have reviewed the changes and undone some as necessary. It appears to be a mix of good, bad, and some neutral changes. Thank you for bringing this to Ferien's (and my) attention, if you notice any further issues, feel free to be bold and change the articles yourself. Griff (talk) 02:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

User Deppiyy
Ferien, I added in the page of Turkey and Northern Cyprus under culter that circumcision of male is a big event etc. but this User Deppiyy changend it and claim I made vandalisim.
Why is this Vandalism, when I got information of a important part in the culture ?
Please have a Look.
It seems the only one who made Vandalisim is this User Deppiyy itself
--Nalanidil (talk) 23:37, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I can see this being misread as vandalism. It also was perhaps not a very suitable place to put it. MrMeAndMrMeLet's talk 23:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Nalanidil: Sorry for the late reply to this, I actually thought I had replied to it earlier but my internet has been bad recently so clearly the reply didn't save. Please try bringing up this problem on Deppiyy's user talk page first and try and resolve the issue with them first. Thank you for understanding. --Ferien (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- No this User Deppliyy now is against ALL what I wrote, I wrote on Admins Griff talk page about this problem.
- This is enough yet. As long such Users are active in wikipedia, it doesnt made fun two wrote.
- This user all changend, all sources he changend, but this user didnt give any source.
- No, its ok, Im out of this, this user can do what he want, change or delete. Nalanidil (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
A very important part in the Turkish Culture is the circumcision of boys, so why is it not allowed to mentioned under culture? and why it is considered as vandalism? I cant understand.
--Nalanidil (talk) 23:45, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- If it’s important, then a new article should be made, a relevant article exist on English Wikipedia en:Khitan_(circumcision). Deppiyy (talk) 17:38, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Deppiyy: We can choose to create a page that doesn't exist on the English Wikipedia if the community feels differently about the page. --Ferien (talk) 07:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Deletion
Why did you request for deletion of my page?197.248.126.109 (talk) 09:43, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, I can't see any pages that you have created. Could you please tell me the page you created that has been requested for deletion? --Ferien (talk) 09:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- I think they meant the Bannacis universe page, I was the one who requested G4 deletion. --*Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page ♮ 23:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- If you were indeed talking about the page Fehufanga mentioned, there was a consensus to delete it at requests for deletion, which you can see here. --Ferien (talk) 07:13, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Please be bold and help translate this article!  Hermila Galindo Acosta (also known as Hermila Galindo de Topete) (2 June 1886 – 18 August 1954) was a Mexican feminist and a writer. She was an early supporter of many radical feminist issues, primarily sex education in schools, women's suffrage, and divorce. She was one of the first feminists to state that Catholicism in Mexico was thwarting feminist efforts, and was the first woman to run for elected office in Mexico.

Recent changes
- In the Wikipedia Android app it is now possible to change the toolbar at the bottom so the tools you use more often are easier to click on. The app now also has a focused reading mode. [2][3]
Problems
- There was a problem with the collection of some page-view data from June 2021 to January 2022 on all wikis. This means the statistics are incomplete. To help calculate which projects and regions were most affected, relevant datasets are being retained for 30 extra days. You can read more on Meta-wiki.
- There was a problem with the databases on March 10. All wikis were unreachable for logged-in users for 12 minutes. Logged-out users could read pages but could not edit or access uncached content then. [4]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).
- When using
uselang=qqxto find localisation messages, it will now show all possible message keys for navigation tabs such as "View history". [5] 
Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have deletelogentryanddeletedhistoryrights through their group memberships. Before, only those with thedeleterevisionright could access this special page. [6]- On the Special:Undelete pages for diffs and revisions, there will be a link back to the main Undelete page with the list of revisions. [7]
Future changes
- The Wikimedia Foundation has announced the IP Masking implementation strategy and next steps. The announcement can be read here.
- The Wikipedia Android app developers are working on new functions for user talk pages and article talk pages. [8]
Events

Wikiquote's preparation
Hello Ferien! I want to come to Wikiquote! But before editing there, I was checking on the list of admins and I found you! :-) Well, is the following passage notable or eligible for the entry to Wikiquote?
| “ | It was the time of setting sun when the bright light on the face of the hills deceased, and the rising smoke in the hills gradually receded to meet the rising smoke from the plain.
Panthoibi was unaware of the whereabouts of Nongpok Ningthou and in her helpless condition she beseeched the tall trees of the hills and the leafy ones of the plains to help her find her beloved.[1] |
” |

- It's not a private/personal literary work of someone. It's a passage of an ancient oral folksong! However, the English translation is done by someone. Haoreima (talk) 06:00, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Haoreima, which page would this quote be added to? --Ferien (talk) 19:57, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

- I thought you might be busy. Well, it's ok. Btw, do you mean it's not good enough to make an article? Is Lengthiness an issue? Haoreima (talk) 13:07, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Haoreima, as in the quote may be too lengthy to put into an article, not that it's not good enough. You could always be bold and create the page, someone will probably fix it if they feel it is too long. --Ferien (talk) 14:18, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2022-12
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!  Farn-Sasan was the last king of the Indo-Parthian Kingdom, ruling the region of Sakastan approximately from 210 to 226. Literary sources makes no mention of him, and he is only known through the coins he issued. He was defeated in 226 by the Sasanian ruler Ardashir I (r. 224–242), which marked the end of Indo-Parthian rule.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2022-13
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!  Dummy tanks superficially resemble real tanks and are often deployed as a means of military deception in the absence of real tanks. Early designs included wooden shells and inflatable props that could fool enemy intelligence; they were fragile and only believable from a distance. Modern designs are more advanced and can imitate heat signatures, making them more effective illusions.
