Featured picture scheduled for POTD[edit]

Hi JPxG,

This is to let you know that File:Gateway Generating Station rectified.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded or nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for March 15, 2022. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2022-03-15. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gateway Generating Station

Gateway Generating Station is a combined-cycle natural-gas-fired power station in Contra Costa County, California, on the southern shore of the San Joaquin River in Antioch. Commissioned in 2009, and owned and operated by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the facility includes two gas turbines paired with heat recovery steam generators that power a steam turbine, seen on the left in this photograph, and an air-cooled condenser system, seen on the right. The facility has a peak capacity of 580 megawatts.

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=qqx to 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 deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights through their group memberships. Before, only those with the deleterevision right 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

Events

  • The Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 will take place as a hybrid event on 20-22 May 2022. The Hackathon will be held online and there are grants available to support local in-person meetups around the world. Grants can be requested until 20 March.

Talk:Michigan Limestone and Chemical Company/GA1[edit]

JPxG, do you plan on reviewing this nomination soon? Your last post was on February 1, when you prayed for forgiveness for not having started the review. It's been another month and a half, and the review has yet to begin.

We all have times when we can't devote the time we hoped to Wikipedia. Perhaps you might offer a date when, if you haven't started the review, you will withdraw and allow the nomination to be put back in the pool of unreviewed nominations so another reviewer can take on the task of reviewing. Thank you very much for your consideration. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:46, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In your continuing absence, another editor has gone ahead and placed a second opinion request on the nomination, in the hopes of finding a new reviewer. You could presumably return and do that review yourself, or formally release the review in advance of whoever comes along. I hope you are well. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:49, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing edit that was clearly a misunderstanding[edit]

Sir, the swiftness with which you reverted my edit made my head spin and clearly indicated that you are keeping an unusually close watch on 1982 Flinders by-election. I provided a full and adequate edit summary for why I removed the paragraph. I wrote "Removed paragraph because information could not be verified. While an author and title were provided, there was no URL or ISBN number or any other way to locate the publication, if the information provided is, in fact, some type of publication." I feel certain that in reverting my edit - based upon your accusation that you put in your edit summary and on my Talk page, "unexplained content removal" - that you must have accidentally overlooked my edit summary. It's an easy thing to do. I will return my edit with basically my same edit summary. Perhaps it will assist your understanding of my action to know that I spent hours trying to locate the source that the information in that paragraph depended upon and I have been unable to locate it. I looked for any source that could support the information in that paragraph, to no avail. I am satisfied that due diligence was done. If you have more information of that source and can provide it, then please, do add it and return the paragraph and the updated source. If you have no further information for the location of that source, then please leave the text unpublished. It will remain in the article's History if others come behind us with a proper source. I thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance in requiring this article to adhere to Wikipedia policy and standards. I will add this information to the article's Talk page for further discussion, if needed. Feel free to contact me again. I am happy to work together with you to improve this article. 69.180.218.186 (talk) 21:18, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion oracle question[edit]

Wow, the Oracle for Deletion is a great piece of work. Fascinating stuff. Have a beer on me.

Thanks for creating the Oracle for Deletion! AugusteBlanqui (talk) 12:46, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question for you, I was messing around with sorting by number of votes. But is there any way to figure out how diverse the participation is? That is, how many editors participate in a given month? For example, in January 2022 there were a total of 6718 votes cast. It would be interesting to know how many editors made up those 6718 votes. In other words, is AfD an area of 'specialization' for some editors? AugusteBlanqui (talk) 09:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Start-Class Quetta Gladiators articles[edit]

Hello, JPxG,

You tagged this category for speedy deletion but categories should not be deleted until they have been emptied. Deleting the category will not remove the category listing on all of the pages that it contains. Then, these pages will all have a red link category on them and, according to WP:REDNO, red link categories either have to be created (defeating the point of deleting this category) or the red link category has to be individually removed from each of these pages. Could you take care of this first? Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 02:51, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Help to improve the page[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mubashir_Husain_Rehmani Improve this page as there are several issues in it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muhammad Absar Uddin (talk • contribs) 09:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Muhammad Absar Uddin: I'm not quite familiar with the subject area, but if you are looking to improve the article, I'd suggest looking at the tags on the top (currently, {{COI}} and {{Like resume}}). More explanation of what those are about can be found at WP:COI and WP:PROMOTION. Looking through the article, the most obvious thing that I can see is that it looks like a very long list of all his professional accomplishments, where it might be more appropriate to only include a couple of the most notable. jp×g 22:59, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

reFill[edit]

Hi. Last month you took part in the discussion about the maintenance of reFill and you wrote "I would be willing to try to work on some fixes for the most egregious misbehavior of the tool and submit pull requests -- is there a list of the biggest issues? The GitHub issues don't seem to be prioritized very well. I would also need some instructions for setting up and testing on a local instance. If I had these things, though, I could commit to at least taking a look (although a few have said the codebase is daunting, so it may not result in any progress, but it's at least worth a try)." GreenC, whose proposition it was to block reFill due to bugs replied "Yeah we've heard this in the past, people say they will adopt it then nothing much happens." I was tempted at the time to reply to them saying time will tell and we should give JPxG a chance to show that this isn't the case here.

Are you still willing to help in the way you indicated? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:21, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Curb Safe Charmer: When I offered to take over some of the ReFill maintenance, there weren't any other proposals for the repair of the tool, but shortly afterwards there was a rapid grant request made to the WMF (at meta:Grants:Project/Rapid/TheresNoTime/reFill_3.0). I'm not particularly well-acquainted with how these grants are evaluated, approved and disbursed; my assumption is that the people who submitted the grant application will be given some sum of money to fund the work which we'd previously talked about. I don't know if there is some provision for having additional people participate in this project. If so, I'd certainly be interested, but otherwise it seems like making any of my own modifications would be getting in the way. I'll ping the grant proposers and see what they have to say: @Tamzin: @TheresNoTime: jp×g 23:04, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG: There absolutely is room for additional developers on this. The idea was that TNT and I would take point, making it our "day job" for a bit, but it's like any other open-source project, and the contributions of others are absolutely welcome, really to whatever extent people are willing to offer. If the grant is approved, Step 0 would be a triage of all known issues. Once that is done, and a roadmap is decided on for getting to reFill 3, anyone could volunteer to take on an issue in standard open-source fashion. TNT and I are prepared to do 100% of that if needed (wouldn't really be fair to request a grant otherwise, after all!), but the more help we can get, the better, potentially allowing us to meet reach goals within the two-month window we're shooting for. If you're interested in joining the project, there's a "join" button at the Grants page you linked to. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 23:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Powder House Island scheduled for TFA[edit]

This is to let you know that the Powder House Island article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 5, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 5, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:34, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "This article is about an island that simply couldn't stop exploding. When I first created it, it was a tiny little geostub with a funny name, but when I got access to better sources, I figured out that there was a whole litany of historical drama centering on it. I even managed to find some halfway-decent images. I have never made a featured article nomination before, so I'm not quite sure what to expect, but hopefully the explosion isn't audible from Cleveland."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:49, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

wp:burden[edit]

Kindly respect wp:burden. And do not restore material that has been challenged and deleted due to lacking proper refs, without providing them. --2603:7000:2143:8500:606B:77EB:AE0D:1436 (talk) 06:15, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I realize that the passages you're removing don't individually have inline citations in them, but I find your edits concerning, for a couple reasons.
  • First of all, inline citations for all sentences/paragraphs are not strictly required for all content; if there are general references on a page, it's often the case that "uncited" information on the page is coming from one of those references. To simply remove paragraphs and sections because they lack inlines seems almost as though you're applying GA criteria to all article text on the project, which is generally not done.
  • Secondly, the rate at which you're making these edits is troubling. After this edit, for example, you took merely 51 seconds to review this edit, in which 419 bytes are removed. You're moving between entire articles in less than a minute; it seems to me like it would be physically impossible to review the existing sources in that amount of time.
  • Thirdly, your extremely fast rate of editing seems to be causing egregious errors such as this one, where your edit summary is "d uncited", but the edit itself removes a reference. This had to be reverted by a recent-changes patroller.
The combination of these issues is a situation in which someone is mass-removing large amounts of text without checking to see if it can be verified, or indeed if it already is verified, from existing sources. The fact that you're doing it so fast means it is prohibitively difficult to check your work. I'd greatly appreciate if you would slow down. jp×g 06:22, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You know quite well that there was only one mistake that I made. But you refer to it as multiple. You know quite well that it was a mistaken deletion of part of a ref, followed by cleanup of the rest of the ref, and that the text it was supporting was not deleted, nor was it of any great moment .. and yet you incorrectly call that egregious. You also seem to understand wp:burden, but you left an improper "warning" on my talk page. All of that is troubling to me. But as I have said elsewhere, I do apologize for that one (single, not multiple) accidental (you can see how that happened) removal of a lone ref, while leaving the text - text not of any great moment - untouched, which you nevertheless term "egregious" for some reason, and will endeavor not to make a second such error. By the way, since you raise what you find concerning, one might also be concerned about all of the uncited material, especially that tagged - for as much as fifteen years - that has been lying about in these articles without being addressed. Some corners of the Project are a mess. 2603:7000:2143:8500:606B:77EB:AE0D:1436 (talk) 06:39, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
