Your draft article, Draft:EMulate Therapeutics

Hello, Rusty Cat. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "EMulate Therapeutics".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:00, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Upcoming expiry of your patroller right

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 06:09, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Davidenkosrg (14:31, 26 October 2024)

Hello! how could I change from English to Romanian to make it easier for me to edit ? --Davidenkosrg (talk) 14:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

@Davidenkosrg: If you want to change the language of the Wikipedia interface (like buttons and menus) to Romanian you can do so in your preferences. The articles will still be in English, and you will still have to learn how to edit Wikipedia in English. If you want to edit in Romanian, I would recommend checking out the Romanian version of Wikipedia, which has both the interface and articles in Romanian. Rusty 🐈 15:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Davidenkosrg (17:51, 27 October 2024)

Hello! I can't do it on the Romanian version. can you help me ? --Davidenkosrg (talk) 17:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

@Davidenkosrg: What problem are you having? What can you not do? Rusty 🐈 19:51, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Librari minish (10:53, 28 October 2024)

Hi Rusty, I created this account so I could update the European XFEL's company logo of their wiki page since it is quite old. I have uploaded a svg version of the logo in commons, with the proper name. Not sure if I have to take more steps so the changes take effect.

Apologies for such a beginners' question, thanks in advance for your help. --Librari minish (talk) 10:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Librari minish: No worries; we all start somewhere. The previous version of the logo in Commons was a png, so you will need to go into the XFEL article on Wikipedia and change the filename from ending in ".png" to ".svg". Rusty 🐈 13:48, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:ChatthiMaiyyaKiBitiya 194016 ec95625e-19e5-4064-9bd9-231d9a4a186e.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:ChatthiMaiyyaKiBitiya 194016 ec95625e-19e5-4064-9bd9-231d9a4a186e.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:42, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-44

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

• Later in November, the Charts extension will be deployed to the test wikis in order to help identify and fix any issue. A security review is underway to then enable deployment to pilot wikis for broader testing. You can read the October project update and see the latest documentation and examples on Beta Wikipedia.
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, Pediapress.com, an external service that creates books from Wikipedia, can now use Wikimedia Maps to include existing pre-rendered infobox map images in their printed books on Wikipedia. [1]

Updates for technical contributors

• Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [2]
• Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [3]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Rusty Cat, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-45

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

• Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [4]
• Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
• The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [5]
• View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

• XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [6]

In depth

• Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
• The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Question from Taramayatamang (11:09, 8 November 2024)

Hello my recent draft was declined due to "Lots of unsourced claims and statements of fact". Could you please take a look and help me what are those instead of just sending me link about Notability. I want specific points and issues with the drafts so I can correct those. --Taramayatamang (talk) 11:09, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

@Taramayatamang: You seem to have improved the article's sourcing since the article was last declined 2-3 days ago. Wait until the reviewer gets back to you and you can ask me again then if it gets declined. Rusty 🐈 14:11, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello there could you review my draftl Taramayatamang (talk) 05:07, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

@Taramayatamang No, I am not an draft reviewer. A reviewer will probably get to your draft soon. Rusty 🐈 17:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-46

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

• On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, users will notice that the FuzzyBot will now automatically create translated versions of categories used on translated pages. [7]
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the submitted task to use the SecurePoll extension for English Wikipedia's special administrator election was resolved on time. [8]

Updates for technical contributors

• In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [9]
• Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

• Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [10]

Meetings and events

• 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.

Question from Byrangerry (01:45, 14 November 2024)

Hi Rusty Cat. Do you review my edits as a newcomer? On one I edited a sentence said to be 'peacock prose' in an edit note. What happens to the edit note...is my edit reviewed and then the edit note is removed or should I be removing the edit note? Thanks --Byrangerry (talk) 01:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Byrangerry: Welcome to Wikipedia! I am your mentor, but that doesn't give me many special powers over anyone else; anyone can see and check there edits if they wish. If you're referring to the maintenance template by "edit note", you can safely remove it once you believe the issue has been rectified. Rusty 🐈 05:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
