Tip of the day...

Search & replace in thousands of articles with AWB

Do you need to correct a spelling error on a large number of pages?

Are there terms you need to linkify across an entire subject?

Do you need to replace a category tag on 500 articles?

AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) can do that and more. It is a free-licensed, semi-automatic editor created and maintained by Wikipedians, available to editors who have made at least 500 responsible edits in the main namespace. AWB includes a powerful list maker (up to 25,000 articles), to help you gather the titles of the articles you wish to process. An extended AWB Listmaker is available as a plug-in. AWB will even do regex (regular expression) find/replace.

Sportskeeda

Hello. I think before removing any information related to sports keeda, you should at least try to find an alternate source and then replace it. You removed some biographical information that can be cross checked from other sources. Marty2Hotty (talk) 12:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Marty2Hotty Most the content are already sourced, except few. Cassiopeia talk 22:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Help

I made a mistake can you please ask an admin to revert this? http://simple.wiki.x.io/wiki/Republican_In_Name_Only Coconut0330 (talk) 21:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Coconut0330 Done and see HERE. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 22:30, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Interlanguage links

Interlanguage links {{ill}} serve the purpose of providing encyclopedic information in cases when enwiki page is missing. Please do not remove them without valid reason (other than no enwiki article). --Altenmann >talk 00:29, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Altenmann It is not missing in En Wiki, but subject is not notable in En Wiki as per GNG guidlines. Cassiopeia talk 00:33, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:GNG is for article deletion. In fact, before linking I briefly checked and found ghat eg sv:Guram Kutateladze has reasonable references and pl:Guram Kutateladze tabulates plenty of wins. Also the name is found in many enwiki articles, so I concluded the person is reasonably notable. --Altenmann >talk 00:44, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Altenmann GNG is the guidelines for the subject to have/ warrant a page/article in En Wikipeida. When a new article is written and appear in En Wiki, it goes through a review and for the article to be in the main space and even regardless how old/long an article existed in En Wikipedia and if it does not page the GNG guidelines, it can be nominated for AfD. Unfortunately, many reviewers do not go through the reviewing process thoroughly and we dont have enough reviewers to work on the task. Each sister Wikipedia (different languages) is operated independent from each other and have it own guidelines. You will see many articles appear in other languages Wiki but they dont in En Wiki because they fail GNG or SSN or SGN. GNG is not the only guidelines use in AfD but also SSN and SGN. Sometimes an article fails all GNG, SSN, SGN will still be remained in EN Wikipedia such as train station. Cassiopeia talk 00:52, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

OK, since you objected, I looked a bit deeeper, and I see the guy does not satisfy WP:NMMA, and I am not so intested in MMA to dig for GNG refs, so I will no longr object his delinking. But I think he may stay in Kutateladze page, because his name is clearly searchable --Altenmann >talk 00:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Altenmann OK and thank you for the discussing. I will delink all pages except Kutateladze page. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 01:03, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-04

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

Updates for editors

• Administrators can mass-delete multiple pages created by a user or IP address using Extension:Nuke. It previously only allowed deletion of pages created in the last 30 days. It can now delete pages from the last 90 days, provided it is targeting a specific user or IP address. [1]
• On wikis that use the Patrolled edits feature, when the rollback feature is used to revert an unpatrolled page revision, that revision will now be marked as "manually patrolled" instead of "autopatrolled", which is more accurate. Some editors that use filters on Recent Changes may need to update their filter settings. [2]
• View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the Visual Editor's "Insert link" feature did not always suggest existing pages properly when an editor started typing, which has now been fixed.

Updates for technical contributors

• The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is being progressively removed from the wikis. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. The last group of wikis (Catalan Wikiquote, Wikimedia Finland, Goan Konkani Wikipedia, Kabyle Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikibooks, Wikimedia Sweden) will soon be contacted. If you have questions about this process, please ping Trizek (WMF) at your wiki. [3]
• The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition includes: updates about services from the Data Platform Engineering teams, information about Codex from the Design System team, and more.

Question from Jahidatamanna (11:28, 21 January 2025)

How can I add a Biography? --Jahidatamanna (talk) 11:28, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Jahidatamanna Good day. I believe you meant your user page and not your biography. Please read the WP:User pages guidelines. Please note that user pages are for organizing the work users do on Wikipedia. Lastly Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 09:56, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from CarDriver897 (19:09, 21 January 2025)

Sooo Cas, I have been struck again by the ANNOYING Revirvlkodlaku dude again. I wrote about Things From the Flood, which is the 2nd artbook by Simon Stalenhag, on the Simon Stalenhag page. I wrote that it was the sequel to Tales From the Loop (True fact in the books) and he says it's "Disruptive writing". I am truly offended, especially when I wrote a true Stalenhag fact. I'm not sure what to do, soo yeah, --CarDriver897 (talk) 19:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

CarDriver897 Good day. This was your edit. User:Revirvlkodlaku was not annoying but informed you that the content you added did not provide a source to support your claim, which their revert and warning is justifiable. Any content added/changed must be supported by independent, reliable sources, such as major newspapers or books, for verification. To add an inline citation (source), please use the horizontal format of Template:Cite web if the source is from the web. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 09:35, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

CarDriver897, calling me annoying is uncalled for, and asserting that I called you out for nothing is untrue and therefore disingenuous on your part. This kind of attitude is not welcome on Wikipedia, and if you persist in this vein, you can be sure to receive more warnings in the future. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Revirvlkodlaku I dont think CarDriver897 know the Wikipedia guidelines well. I dont think anyone here is trying to upset the other people. Let's assume good faith as CarDriver897 has only 19 main space edit. Cassiopeia talk 21:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from CarDriver897 (19:24, 21 January 2025)

Also hey Cassio, are there any very short articles in this database that I can edit? (Just hopefully Revirvlkodlaku won't call me out again for no reason) --CarDriver897 (talk) 19:24, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

CarDriver897 You started editing Wikipedia in 2022, but only 19 main space edits so far - see HERE. I suggest you take WP:TWA short program (30- 45 mins), so you will familiarize yourself with some of the fundamental Wikipedia guidelines, which can help you edit Wikipedia more productively. Once you have finished the TWA program, please pop back here and I will give you the info/list articles to edit. Thank you, and be safe. Cassiopeia talk 09:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Source

Hey!

I did add a source to the article on Swedish actress Barbro Larsson!

https://www.dn.se/familj/dodsannonser/#/CaseInline/945126?query=barbro%20lARSSON 92.39.0.212 (talk) 07:02, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

I click on your source above and didnt see what you added on the article. Cassiopeia talk 07:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

I added Larssons full name, which was not in the article before.

92.39.0.212 (talk) 10:40, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

M'Clure Strait

My name is Bernard Peissel I was the land coordinator of the Passage through Ice expedition. My son Nicolas Peissel was the expedition leader. During the trip we never were able to communicate with Cowper and did not know if he was ahead or behind us. So we only claimed we were the first sailboat through. Now this article proves we were the first civilian boat (not an icebreaker) through M'Clure Strait. What other proof would you like? BernyVA2BP (talk) 08:31, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

BernyVA2BP Good day, and thank you for the message above. There are three issues here. (1) Since you are the land coordinator of the Ice expedition, that means you have a conflict of interest (COI)to edit the page. If you want to edit the page, then you need to disclose, see instructions here -WP:DISCLOSE, your COI on your user page - HERE. Secondly, you need to provide independent, reliable sources, such as from the major newspapers or books, to support your claim for verification. Sources from social media, edu, org, gov, foundation, institution, subject official websites, and private companies are considered unreliable and/or not independent. (3) We don't assume the info from the article and make our opinion or judgment. All content needs to derive from an independent, reliable source from a neutral point of view with your own words.

To add the inline citation, you can use the horizontal format of Template:Cite web if the source is from the web. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 08:45, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

I am confused. How can anyone know the log of the boat you seem to accept Cowpers location. I quit understand I could be giving you false information but who can confirm the veracity of my clame. I have McGill university professors specializing in arctic affairs who can vouch for me ? Would that do? BernyVA2BP (talk) 09:08, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

BernyVA2BP The only source we need is from independent, reliable source such as from the books or major newspapers for verification. If you can find the source stating what you claim then it can not be added into Wikipedia article. Cassiopeia talk 09:57, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

In that case I protest that you claim with no proof that Belzebob2 went through M'Clure strait after Polar Bound. No other source can claim that. All we know for the last 13 years is that we went through on the same day. I recently came across your article and read Cowpers time of completion of the strait looked at my log found the first fix after passing Cape Prince Albert and was delighted to see we infact were being followed by him. You have no proof of the contrary so lets correct the explicite statement that Belzebob laged behind. Thank you for your help. I can't see how we could have made a claim back then of facts we did not have. We took the prudent move of claiming first sailboat as an undeniable fact. BernyVA2BP (talk) 10:19, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

BernyVA2BP Thank you for your explanation; however, in Wikipedia, the core principal is verfication (proof). If there is no independent, reliable to verifies the claim, the it does not belong in the article. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 10:25, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

on the day of the Passage and for weeks after all news coverage was on Belzebob2. COWPER NEVER MADE A PEEP. HOW CAN YOU INSIST HE WENT FIRST. FIND ME A TIMELY ARTICLE ON COWPER. BernyVA2BP (talk) 11:03, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

BernyVA2BP Again, if you want to add or change anything, then provide the independent, reliable source to support the claim. The editor who added/change the info need to provide the proof (source).If no such source is availabe then the info can not be placed in the article. Cassiopeia talk

Question from Imcheesemaster (01:06, 24 January 2025)

Greetings Ma'm I wonder on how may i put links to some articles --Imcheesemaster (talk) 01:06, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Imcheesemaster Good day. Thank you for your question. See below; there are some issues with your edit, and I will also answer your question below:

(1) Do not change the name: The inbox name is as per the article name, so do not change it - see your edit - HERE.

(2) All info added or changed needs to be supported by an independent, reliable source, such as from the major newspapers or books. The person who does the edit needs to provide the source to prove your edit claim - see WP:V the core policy of Wikipedia.

(3) Linking through hyperlinks - links provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that can increase readers' understanding of the topic. - see Help:Link on how to do a hyperlink and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking for details info.

(4) Since you are new to Wikipedia, I strongly suggest you take WP:TWA short program (30 mins) so you can familiarize yourself with some of the fundamental Wikipedia guidelines, which will help you tremendously in editing.

Let me know if you have further questions. I am here to help. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 01:55, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
