October 9[edit]

This article has information that isn't sourced.[edit]

Section after Demographics in the main body of text. I have no idea what any of this pertains to.

Hope this helps fix any problems. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.111.129.229 (talk) 00:59, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out. The entire section was unreferenced and seemed to be promotion of an individual who does not have a Wikipedia article, so I have removed it. --David Biddulph (talk) 02:30, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect, based on your question, that you found one of our over 5.3 million articles and thought we were affiliated in some way with that subject. Please note that you are at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this page is for asking questions related to using or contributing to Wikipedia itself. Thus, we have no special knowledge about the subject of your question. You can, however, search our vast catalogue of articles by typing a subject into the search field on the upper right side of your screen. If you cannot find what you are looking for, we have a reference desk, divided into various subject areas, where asking knowledge questions is welcome. Best of luck.

Tomato page semi-protected[edit]

Does anybody know why tomato is semi-protected? I checked the talk page archives and couldn't find any related discussions. Margalob (talk) 14:24, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Margalob: The page logs tell all (convenience "logs" link added above):

Oversighted talk page[edit]

When I go to User talk:Brownsfan677/New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins and Talk:New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins, all I see are "05:40, 25 September 2016 Mike Rosoft (talk | contribs) moved page Talk:New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins to User talk:Brownsfan677/New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins without leaving a redirect (Not ready to be submitted as an article, no references)" and "05:47, 25 September 2016 Mike Rosoft (talk | contribs) moved page User talk:Brownsfan677/New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins to Talk:New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins without leaving a redirect (I'll move it back, but will probably nominate the pages for deletion)" with no deletion log entry for the article talk page despite it being the target of the latter move occurring later. Was that talk page oversighted? The article New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins was deleted per an AfD. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 16:10, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GeoffreyT2000: From the look of things, yes, the deletion log entry was suppressed. I can create the same symptoms using bureaucrat suppression on another wiki (it's an oversight right here, but bureaucrat on a more standard MW install). It does get logged, but in the private suppression log rather than the normal deletion log. I've linked the page where you can see a deletion log, and the AfD. It's actually very easy to suppress by accident (just another tick box beside things you are already clicking on), if you have the rights. Murph9000 (talk) 16:39, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
MBisanz (the admin who deleted the main page) should probably know about this thread. Pppery 23:10, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The kitten did it!
Not sure how I did that. I undid the oversight and redid the deletion. MBisanz talk 23:16, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
MBisanz It's very easily done, click anywhere on the Suppress data from administrators as well as others text (or any of the much longer MediaWiki:Revdelete-suppress text on EN-WP) on the action=delete page, and it will toggle the suppress flag. Since it's a hair below the watch option and a hair above the delete button, a small slip with the mouse can tag it. Thanks for responding, and sorry for not thinking to ping you myself. I recommend blaming something furry, like a cat, in these situations; or even better a kitten to guarantee that people will stop thinking about anything else.

Possible removal of word "video" in /Spanish_Civil_War[edit]

Not sure that the word "video" should be used: "In a film co-produced by famous early-twentieth century authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Lillian Hellman, video footage was used as a way to advertise Spain’s need for military and monetary aid." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.201.102.186 (talk) 23:02, 9 October 2016‎ (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 72.201.102.186, I have restored the deleted "Notes" section in Spanish Civil War. From this incomplete message here, it's not clear if you have an additional "video"-related question. In any case, the best place to discuss article-related concerns would be Talk:Spanish Civil War. Hope that helps. GermanJoe (talk) 23:13, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have deleted the mention of video. Video technology was not available until 1951, and can't have been used in a film made in the 1930s. I believe the whole Art and propaganda section needs attention – it seems to be entirely about Republican art and propaganda, but nowhere mentions this.
