Your draft article, Draft:Jasmine Jasudavicius

Hello, Cassiopeia. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jasmine Jasudavicius".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 01:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Your recent reverts

Hello. Can I ask why you reverted these edits? [10], [11], [12], [13]. Your edit summary of "M" was unhelpful in identifying why you reverted them. Thanks. – Pbrks (t • c) 22:51, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Reviewing draft

Hi there I apologize for bother I was wondering if you could review Draft:Julius Anglickas i think page have enough info and refernc to be moved to mainspace? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 23:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

DarkHorseMayhem I have reviewed but the article has yet to meet WP:GNG or WP:MMABIO. Pls note that to pass GNG, the subject needs to be have significant coverage by independent, reliable sources where by the sources talk about the subject in lenght and in depth and not passing mention. Sources that covered the announcements of the fights or fight results would be considered routine reports and can not be used to contribute to the sources required. I will send you a list of info on the guidelines and norm on edit MMA events or fighter page. Also do pay attention and observe how the MMA fighters' articles or MMA event pages by experiences MMA editor for sometimes prior edit those pages. Again, pop back here if you have any questions. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 23:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Recent changes

  • The system for automatically creating categories for the Babel extension has had several important changes and fixes. One of them allows you to insert templates for automatic category descriptions on creation, allowing you to categorize the new categories. [14][15][16][17][18]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 April. It will be on all wikis from 6 April (calendar).
  • Some older Web browsers will stop being able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis from this week. This mainly affects users of Internet Explorer 11. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can try to upgrade to a newer version. [19]
  • The deprecated jquery.hoverIntent module has been removed. This module could be used by gadgets and user scripts, to create an artificial delay in how JavaScript responds to a hover event. Gadgets and user scripts should now use jQuery hover() or on() instead. Examples can be found in the migration guide. [20]
  • Some of the links in Special:SpecialPages will be re-arranged. There will be a clearer separation between links that relate to all users, and links related to your own user account. [21]
  • You will be able to hide the Reply button in archived discussion pages with a new __ARCHIVEDTALK__ magic word. There will also be a new .mw-archivedtalk CSS class for hiding the Reply button in individual sections on a page. [22][23][24]

Future changes

  • The Vega software that creates data visualizations in pages, such as graphs, will be upgraded to the newest version in the future. Graphs that still use the very old version 1.5 syntax may stop working properly. Most existing uses have been found and updated, but you can help to check, and to update any local documentation. Examples of how to find and fix these graphs are available.

Question from ChristyMcG (02:53, 4 April 2023)

Hi - I need to edit the page for Chalmers W Sherwin. He’s my grandfather and some basic information is wrong - including the date that he died. --ChristyMcG (talk) 02:53, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

ChristyMcG Hi good day. All info added or changed in any articles need to be supported by independent, reliable source such as from the newspaper or books. Since you are related to the subject, that means you have a conflict of interest to edit the page. You can request edit by providing the source and ask for assistance on the article talk page and any interest editor will add or change the info for you as per source. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 05:46, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Deleting sandbox of vandal soccket puppet

Hi Cassi sorry for bother i was wondering if you could delete User:LSS 2552/sandbox cause it belong to user who have multiple accounts Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/LSS 2552/Archive..i really dont think his sadnbox deserver to be on wiki anymore would you mind deleting it? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 23:54, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

@DarkHorseMayhem , good day and thank you for the message. the editor was banned due to sock and they could not edit anything in Wikipedia and we would leave it at that unless the sandbox is compromised. be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 00:03, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
Why? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 00:57, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
@DarkHorseMayhem is the sandbox compromised? if not let it be as the editor is already banned for good. enjoy UFC 287 and have a good weekend. Cassiopeia talk 01:08, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Israel Adesanya

He is Nigerian, he called himself a Nigerian in this video, talking about “the Nigerian spirit”. I don’t think you know him more that he knows himself, with all due respect.
Note: Wikipedia doesn’t allow posting a YouTube video general i think. Just search this video on YouTube “Nigeria’s UFC fighter Israel Adesanya shares his story”

Amaekuma (talk) 10:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Also search. “Israel Adesanya talks about his Nigerian root, experiencing racism as a kid and becoming a champ” on YouTube. You don’t know his roots more than he knows himself, with all due respect. This is out of the horse’s mouth himself. Amaekuma (talk) 10:58, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
Amaekuma Thank you for the message above and I have reverted your edit. First of all this is Wikipedia and we as the editor follow the guidelines when we edit. The core policy of Wikipedia is info added or changed needs to supported by independent and reliable source. This mean (1) Utube and all the social media is considered not reliable (2) the info from the source which is related to the subject (such as the info from Izzy himself) is considered not independent. Lastly under Wikipedia MOS:NATIONALITY "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases, this will be the country, region, or territory, where the person is currently a citizen, national, or permanent resident" which means Izzy got his notability when he was a citizen and resident of New Zealand and not when he was in Nigeria when he was 11/12. Pls do not change the info again. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 02:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Sup

Hey Cassi first of all i hope you had great easter and good time watching UFC 287.Second i was wondering is Draft:Michael Morales (fighter)is good to go or need more improvant i didnt submit anything just asking. DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 22:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

@DarkHorseMayhem and HeinzMaster: (loop in Heinz here) Good day and yes it was a very good event especially the fights between Curtis vs. Gustelum and the MW title bout. The draft above is not yet meet the requirement for the notability requirements to merit a page in Wikipedia mainspace. (Note: all articles in Wikipedia need to meet the Wikipedia notability requirement in order to be in the Wikipedia main space in regardless how long the articles have been existed in Wikipedia, if any articles are found to not meeting the notablity requirments after a WP:BEFORE, we can always nominate the article to be deleted via WP:AfD discussion). There is lot of bodytext without the supporting source. For MMA fighter to have a page in Wikipedia, the subject needs to pass either WP:GNG or WP:MMABIO notability requirements. I am watching all the draft pages for the MMA fighters and I believe so is User:HeinzMaster. So in another words, we will update the info on those pages and when the time is right (meet the notability requirements) we will place the pages in the mainspace (I saw you asking help from Heinz on several draft pages, and I can tell you, he will update the info accordingly and move the page to mainspce when it is ready which he has done many times). However to say all that, you and any editors are always welcome to improve the article (add info/change info) as long as the info added or changed is supported by independent, reliable source with inline citation to meet the Wikipedia verifility core policy. (Let me know if you need to know how to add inline citation to show the source in an article). To learn the basic Wikipedia guidelines do need some time and it is a steep learning curve for most editors, I have provided you some guidelines and not most of them as it is overwhelming for new editors to understand them all, so if you have other questions, do pop in here as I am here to help. Btw, I saw you WP:Copy edit (ce) some of the MMA fighters' articles (pages), and I would like to thank you for the contribution and effort spent. Welcome to the MMA community of in Wikipedia. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 00:30, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #567

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot:
      • RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
      • BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)
    • Closed request for permissions/Bot:
  • Tool of the week
    • Pauken! ("to cram" in German) - is a tool lets you learn words in different languages, based on images.
  • Development
