former resident of[edit]

In your very good options available - have you ever considered the boxes:

this person is a former resident of...  ??
this person is interested in x as a former resident... ??
Just curious. JarrahTree 12:04 pm, 16 January 2019, Wednesday (19 days ago) (UTC+8)
I certainly could, although you're the first person to request it. The options 72, 73, 37, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 35 of the User in region templates produce the following:
Wikitext userbox where used
{{User in Tasmania|72}}
This user is a former resident of the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|73}}
This user has lived in the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|37}}
This user is a former resident interested in the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|51}}
This user is a proud native of the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|52}}
This user is a native of the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|53}}
This user is a nonresident native of the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|54}}
This user was born in the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
{{User in Tasmania|35}}
This user is a native interested in the Australian state of Tasmania.
 linked pages
I could add a verb option to Template:User lives in so you could change This user lives in to This user lived in, This user has lived in, This user formerly lived in, This user once lived in, This user is a former resident of, etc. This would give you the option to cite a town as well as a region. If your verb phrase gets to long, you will run out of space in the userbox. What do you think?  Buaidh  talk contribs 12:33 pm, 16 January 2019, Wednesday (19 days ago) (UTC+8)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #026, 20 Jan 2019[edit]

Well, here's the first issue of the new year. Enjoy...

New participants[edit]

A hearty welcome to new arrivals to the portals department:

Harvesting categories tool prototype[edit]

DannyS712 has created a user script prototype, User:DannyS712/Cat links, that can pull members from a category, a functionality we've been after since the project's revamp last Spring. Now, it's a matter of applying this technique to scripts that will place the items where needed, such as with a section starter script and/or portal builder script.

What else is going on[edit]

There have been some discussions at Wikipedia talk:Portal guidelines. DreamyJazz is working on a bot to place links to portals on root articles, category pages, and navigation footer templates. Portal bugs are getting dealt with soon after they are reported. Lots of wikignome activity (using Hotcat, etc.). Keep up the good work.    — The Transhumanist   5:27 pm, 20 January 2019, Sunday (15 days ago) (UTC+8)

Everything flows (and certainly data does)

Recently Jimmy Wales has made the point that computer home assistants take much of their data from Wikipedia, one way or another. So as well as getting Spotify to play Frosty the Snowman for you, they may be able to answer the question "is the Pope Catholic?" Possibly by asking for disambiguation (Coptic?).

Headlines about data breaches are now familiar, but the unannounced circulation of information raises other issues. One of those is Gresham's law stated as "bad data drives out good". Wikipedia and now Wikidata have been criticised on related grounds: what if their content, unattributed, is taken to have a higher standing than Wikimedians themselves would grant it? See Wikiquote on a misattribution to Bismarck for the usual quip about "law and sausages", and why one shouldn't watch them in the making. Wikipedia has now turned 18, so should act like as adult, as well as being treated like one. The Web itself turns 30 some time between March and November this year, per Tim Berners-Lee. If the Knowledge Graph by Google exemplifies Heraclitean Web technology gaining authority, contra GIGO, Wikimedians still have a role in its critique. But not just with the teenage skill of detecting phoniness. There is more to beating Gresham than exposing the factoid and urban myth, where WP:V does do a great job. Placeholders must be detected, and working with Wikidata is a good way to understand how having one statement as data can blind us to replacing it by a more accurate one. An example that is important to open access is that, firstly, the term itself needs considerable unpacking, because just being able to read material online is a poor relation of "open"; and secondly, trying to get Creative Commons license information into Wikidata shows up issues with classes of license (such as CC-BY) standing for the actual license in major repositories. Detailed investigation shows that "everything flows" exacerbates the issue. But Wikidata can solve it.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #028, 04 Feb 2019[edit]

Here's a quicky status report:

Old-style portals: 1,018
Single-page portals: 4,367
Total portals: 5,385

But of course, there has been more going on than just that...

Dreamy Jazz Bot is up and running![edit]

Dreamy Jazz Bot has been approved and is now up and running. What it does is places missing links to orphaned portals. It places a link in the See also section of the corresponding root article, and it puts one at the top of the corresponding category page. We have thousands of new portals that have yet to be added to the encyclopedia proper, just waiting to go live. When they do go live, over the coming days or weeks, due to Dreamy Jazz Bot, it will be like an explosion of new portals on the scene. We should expect an increase in awareness and interest in the portals project. Perhaps even new participants. Get ready... Get set... Go!

Another sockpuppet infiltrator has been discovered[edit]

User:Emoteplump, a recent contributor to the portals project, was discovered to be a sockpuppet account of an indefinitely blocked user. When that happens, admins endeavor to eradicate everything the editor contributed. This aftermath has left a wake of destruction throughout the portals department, again. The following portals which have been speedy deleted, are in the process of being re-created. Please feel free to help to turn these blue again:

Heading text[edit]

Up for a task?[edit]

Prior to April of last year, the portals WikiProject produced about 80 portals per year.

{{bpsp}} is designed to take advantage of {{navbox}} footer templates, populating 2 sections of a portal with each one.

The thing is, there are over 128,000 of them.

So, a simple hypothesis is that there are over 10,000 of them about subjects suitable for portals, and probably even more.

We made it to 5,000 portals with ease, and now we are shooting for the 10,000 mark.

The task, should you accept it, would be to hunt down subjects supported by navbox footers, and then use {{subst:bpsp}} to create corresponding titled portals.

There's a script that makes this process even faster.

Once a suitable subject has been found, it takes between 10 and 20 seconds to create the portal for it.

At a portal a day, that's 365 portals in a year.

At 10 portals a day, that's 3,650 portals in a year.

Let me know if you think you are up to it, and I'll provide some more tips.

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   21:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More details? Absolutely! More to come...    — The Transhumanist   21:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]


More details[edit]

At a minute or so, that makes finding a subject to make a portal on the most time-consuming part of the task of portal creation these days.

To make the hunt as quick as possible, you need tools and tricks...

Portal creation tip[edit]

Would you like to know how I create portals so quickly?

But first, do you use WP:wikEd?

If you use WP:wikEd, keep in mind that the following method does not work while wikEd is turned on. You absolutely have to turn wikEd off for it to work. Otherwise, wikEd will send the script into an endless loop, on every tab that the script is running. And that would be BAD.

That being said, the trick to quick portal creation is User:The Transhumanist/QuickPortal.js.

The way I used it on the provinces of Indonesia, was Ctrl+click on the various links at Provinces of Indonesia, then, in each tab, clicking on the menu item "Matching portal" in the Tools menu in the sidebar menu, and then clicking on the "Start the" link on the resulting screen (in each tab). Then, inspect the preview of the new portal in each tab, and click Save or Ctrl+W as appropriate.

Ctrl+clicking on the articles, will load each one into a tab. And you can traverse the tabs with Ctrl+Tab ↹. (In Firefox).

Enjoy.

Of course, feel free to ask any questions you may have.    — The Transhumanist   12:32, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not just Sydney inner life - there is a whole set of filing cabinets full of material for all of australia that is not in trove that unless it is in peoples scrap books - is very difficult to retrieve - my specialist areas are tassie 70s, and sydney 70s, perth and wa same era - but I do know that it is a laborious process as it is not at the tip of a trove tag, it is physical checking through and slow things... but it is nothing compared to what I am doing in another un-related (so far) project - try getting a handle on 10,000 + images held in a government archive, which I have to hand photograph... sigh, it is taking quite some time. So the answer is - the gratifying easy quick response aspect of trove is great until 1955 - it is the 1960s and 1970s of oz that one thread of canberra times items in trove cannot even scratch JarrahTree 23:34, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network[edit]

Hello and nice to reconnect! You messaged me on my talk page. I want to invite you to meta:Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network and you can invite any other Wikimedians in Residence. For about a year we have been meeting monthly at noon New York Time, which is 4am Perth time. Sorry about the disconnect, but maybe with some planning we can make it work. Right now the meeting is set up to serve Seattle-Paris, which I think is a 9 hour gap.

We post minutes to meta:Wikimedians_in_Residence_Exchange_Network/archive. If you want to discuss something you can bring it to the talk page.

This is a peer-to-peer support organization which seeks to mutually recognize and support each other. Consider also that if you want opinions on a matter, you can post a question to the agenda and answer will appear after the next meeting. Thanks, we all depend on each other.

confusing moves[edit]

Hey,

Re. my confusing moves, the easiest way for me to create gobs of new redirects is to move existing rd's to the names I want, and let a bot clean up the resulting dbl rd's. So, if 'X language' rd's to 'Y language', and 'X' is best linked there as well rather than to an ethno article (e.g. the 'Eastern Foo language', where the 'Eastern Foo' are not a people), then what looks like a move from 'X language' to 'X' is really just the creation of a new rd from 'X' to 'Y language'. You'd need to look at the content of X to see it's just a rd. I know, it's confusing, but it saves a lot of time, esp. when I'm covering spelling variants, forms of the name with and without diacritics, adding/subtracting dab terms, etc.

John Olive Lees[edit]

Hi JT! I have just this morning deleted a name from the list of 1912 North Mount Lyell disaster casualties, in which you have an interest, having discovered that rumors of his death ... etc. Now I find that his name is mentioned in a paper The North Mount Lyell disaster - a miscarriage of justice by one Peter Schulze, published around the same time as the addition of the name, and wondered if there is a story there. Do you have access to the on-line version? I would be delighted to have my "bold edit" reverted if I was somehow wrong. Doug butler (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the Schulze text. Totally convincing, and I do know something of electrical installations, though 700A fuses are way out of my league! Unfortunately nothing about John Olive Lees, but mentions of my man Mervyn Murray were interesting and useful. His statement at the Royal Commission (not mentioned in the Schulze paper) that an electrical fault was unlikely, as the equipment came from the "very best suppliers", was however cringemaking.

Kings Cross[edit]

Yeah, I'm out - unwatchlisted. They bloat the article, there's no plausible reason why there needs to be a gallery of six, you yourself opposed a gallery on the talk page and I'm being reverted by two people who refuse to use the talk page any longer (note that my ignored response trying to find a consensus was the last post on there). Have fun. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:51, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Next time, if you're keen on the talk page furthering the issue, perhaps you might use it instead of joining that dude in ignoring it and reverting without explanation. I'm fine with some of the plans going in amidst the text, but neither of you were remotely interested in coming to any kind of consensus and I'm too busy offline these days to stuff around with articles where people are going to ignore discussion and railroad me with reverts.

Oh, so you do want me to list more of your screw ups? I'm not the one who started this. 76.127.20.109 (talk)
As the editor above insists on repeatedly deleting my replies - admittedly on my part hasty and not that polite - that they were, with some time for thought in murderous morning traffic what had happened, I hereby offer an expanation in the expectation that the IP is located in New Jersey is simply an IP who has for whatever reason has found it expedient to edit from an IP despite quite a resource of knowledge of wikipedia editing. New users do not have the capacity to understand most of the components of the above.

I had been using an app that when the word 'years' is typed in, it usually links to the wikiproject years - however, it can connect with something other than the wikiproject, and in my editing, I had failed to see the result... despite the apps capacity to let an editor see the result of the edit really well before hitting the save button, I had not realised the mistake. So my mistake, and yes the IP is correct, but I do not condone WP:SHOUTING regardless of where the issue arises.

I often screw up - and gladly accept corrections, but I must say that I do have an inherent suspicion of IPs editing complex wikipedia tasks - I have never seen a convincing and comprehensive explanation as to why editing from an IP or, repeatedly reverting talk page messages, as an example of what it is all WP:ABOUT, but I am sure I could always be convinced if I had a reasonable explanation for the practices...

I do have an inherent suspicion of IPs editing complex wikipedia tasks — WP:AGF - don't just mention the acronym in the occasional talk page discussion, follow the guideline, assume good faith unless/until there's evidence to the contrary.
I have never seen a convincing and comprehensive explanation as to why editing from an IP ... but I am sure I could always be convinced if I had a reasonable explanation for the practices... — Challenge accepted...
I occasionally make edits while not logged in, because:
  • I'm not on a trusted computer and/or network
  • Privacy reasons - I have been known to make legitimate edits that I don't want linked to my Wikipedia account and thus real world identity

hello again[edit]

Yep, back making a few edits here and there, not that I have any more free time now than I used to but I'll see how long I last before burning out! I too was surprised there wasn't a 2019 Tasmanian bushfires article yet either... that's going to be a fairly big job... -- Chuq (talk) 12:17, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
