Hi there, thanks for the message! I would like to upload the photo of the BTNR last langur too, but I am not sure of the credit to the photo publicly available on the net. I would need to go to the museum to take the photo myself, when Singapore eases the lockdown measures. For the species split, the preprint is available on bioRxiv, which I have cited in the texts, and its been accepted in a journal, so will reference it when it's available.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People from Moskva[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:People from Moskva requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Proposed deletion of File:Nobody Does It Better cover.jpg[edit]

Notice

The file File:Nobody Does It Better cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Apparently derived from the Portuguese single release (discogs, 45cat, rateyourmusic). The US single release didn't use a picture sleeve. May fail WP:NFCC#4 (prior publication) and/or WP:NFCC#5 (content). To be replaced by a free image identifying a release...

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Pacific White-Sided Dolphin[edit]

I'm leaving a note regarding the scientific name of Pacific White-Sided Dolphins. I believe that the correct genus is "Lagenorhynchus," and the correct species is "obliquidens." My sources are NOAA Fisheries (noaa.gov) and the National Park Service (nps.gov). I see that a recent article in the journal Marine Mammal Science proposed a new genus for this species: "Sagmatias." In my opinion, this genus was adopted by the American Society of Mammalogists but not by all biologists or marine biologists. I believe that the government websites with a dot gov are correct and still fully up-to-date in terms of scientific name. According to the National Park Service, "Among marine biologists, they are commonly called 'lags' (a shortening of their genus)." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.55.132 (talk) 18:22, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure how frequently NOAA updates its scientific names, nor why the US government should be the ultimate source on scientific names. That said, the NOAA site contains Vollmer's article using the revised taxonomy - I can't link to it but if you Google "Lagenorhynchus albirostris - the NOAA Institutional Repository" you'll find it. And other scientists are using the revised taxonomy, also finding that the old Lagenorhynchus name is polyphyletic, for example here. Rlendog (talk) 19:46, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a another recent scientific presentation that uses Sagmatias [1]. Rlendog (talk) 20:57, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on the change of genus name for several of the Lagenorhynchus species. See talk:Lagenorhynchus. The resurrection of Sagmatias is not yet accepted by the authoritative body, which is the Taxonomic Committee of the Society for Marine Mammalogy. It is therefore too early to split the group, even though there is little, if any doubt that Lagenorhynchus is polyphyletic. JakobT (talk) 23:02, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users[edit]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Replaceable fair use File:Time of the Season cover.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Time of the Season cover.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.
