Full protection
I think it is best we request full protection page due to constant edit warring with the same user on Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 19). What do you think? Callmemirela (talk) 17:21, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
:Looks like a good idea. After all, they're using different IP addresses. MadGuy7023 (talk) 17:28, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
::I will request once the edit warring restarts after the current protection is over. Callmemirela (talk) 20:45, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Principality of Catalonia
I'm trying to change some little mistakes about the term "Cortes", because this name is in Spanish language and it's historically innacurate to refer the "Corts" (in Catalan) in this language, and not exist a tradition in English about this name in Spanish if we want to talk about the Courts of Catalonia or Valencia, so i'm traslate the name in English, like in the article Catalan Courts. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.59.118.177 (talk) 22:20, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
List of fictional drugs deletion
Good morning, I saw that you deleted my addition of the drug Bang to the list of fictional drugs. This drug seems to meet the criteria for inclusion on the list. It is a named fictional drug that has its properties detailed in a well-known story by a famous author. In addition, it is important to the plot of the book. The story implies that it was originally intended to be medicinal, but if you'd prefer I can place it in the Recreational section instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.192.54.103 (talk) 14:45, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, This is about the page I created David RPO which was deleted, As I am new to Wikipedia I wanted to know the criteria t create a page.
srini (talk) 21:01, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
:There's no need to put your message on here twice. Just once is enough. Anyway, I tagged that page for speedy deletion because there was content on the page that appeared to be written like an advert. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. Someone else appears to have found out that some (or all) of the text on the page was copied directly from a website. Because Wikipedia text can be freely distributed, having copyrighted text is not allowed. The page was deleted for both those reasons.
:I noticed you asked the same question about the criteria to create a page at the Teahouse. The people who responded there gave some good responses. I would have pointed you to the Article Wizard anyway. MadGuy7023 (talk) 11:49, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

:I was actually the person who reported them on wp:uaa for the obvious reason. MadGuy7023 (talk) 23:14, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
::Saw that subsequently. I was working from the Wikimedia global account feeds as we were seeing issues xwiki (vandal known xwiki as "Vhaslhv"). We stewards have done some more major thwacking, and shared some notes, and hopefully can hold this off for a period of time).

Hi, MadGuy7023. Thank you for bringing your edit to my revision to A Boy Named Charlie Brown to my attention; I apologize for adding something not constructive. But it WAS accurate, right?
Cheers....

Problems
- There was a security issue on Wikimedia Labs. Many Labs tools were down after the issue was fixed. [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.labs/3284]
Software changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since January 14. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from February 3. It will be on all Wikipedias from February 4 (calendar).
- The "Save page" button in the VisualEditor toolbar is now blue rather than green. This is the same as on the mobile site. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86507]
- You can now edit pages on the draft namespace with VisualEditor on the Russian Wikipedia and Hebrew Wikipedia. You can ask to get VisualEditor for a namespace on your wiki. When your community agrees, ask in Phabricator. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86688] [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87027]

VisualEditor News 2015—#1
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's appearance, the coming Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.
The Wikimedia Foundation has named its top priorities for this quarter (January to March). The first priority is making VisualEditor ready for deployment by default to all new users and logged-out users at the remaining large Wikipedias. You can help identify these requirements. There will be weekly triage meetings which will be open to volunteers beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20150211T12&p1=224&ah=1 12:00 (noon) PST] (20:00 UTC). Tell Vice President of Engineering Damon Sicore, Product Manager James Forrester and other team members which bugs and features are most important to you. The decisions made at these meetings will determine what work is necessary for this quarter's goal of making VisualEditor ready for deployment to new users. The presence of volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code is particularly appreciated. Information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins.
Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.
= Recent improvements =
The new design for VisualEditor aligns with MediaWiki's Front-End Standards as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the OOjs UI library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action:
- starts a new task, like opening the {{int:visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog}} dialog: blue ,
- takes a constructive action, like inserting a citation: green ,
- might remove or lose your work, like removing a link: red , or
- is neutral, like opening a link in a new browser window: gray.
The TemplateData editor has been completely re-written to use a different design (T67815) based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor (T73746). This change fixed a couple of existing bugs (T73077 and T73078) and improved usability.
Search and replace in long documents is now faster. It does not highlight every occurrence if there are more than 100 on-screen at once (T78234).
Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedias requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace (T86688, T87027). If your community would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
= Looking ahead =
The Editing team will soon add auto-fill features for citations. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.
We will need editors to help test the new design of the special character inserter, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF) if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at Phase 5 Wikipedias. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. The date for this change has not been determined.
= Let's work together =

- You can now change the order of categories in VisualEditor using drag-and-drop. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T52809]
- In VisualEditor, you now need to make a change before you can "Apply Changes" to citations and templates. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57976]
- The way the cursor moves in VisualEditor is changing. Your browser now handles the cursor directly. Most of you will see no change. In right-to-left text, the cursor now moves in a 'visible' rather than 'logical' way. This is like other sites but you may be surprised at first. [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/177946/]

hi
I deleted content because my content was earlier rejected and since I am new to wikipedia I am just making sure I start with some content and then build from there. My wiki page is on Sanjib Sahoo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikicontributorTH (talk • contribs) 23:14, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Michael Henderson quote
Hi,
if you follow the link, you will see Henderson/Miles Davis is misquoted in this Wiki.
It's a legendary quote among musicians so I wouldn't know why it had to be altered.
Hence reverting it is unclear to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avantgardener (talk • contribs) 11:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
