Your comments re: spelling corrections

Thank you -

I appreciate and understand your points. It is humbling though instructional that I made what seemed to me a simple change - when in fact it was not.

I understand that you are quite busy.

Thank you! Dmack914 (talk) 03:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dmack914, no worries at all. The more you edit the more you find out about what Wikipedia works behind the scenes. Hopefully you're not discouraged and you keep editing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

NoonIcarus Venezuelan politics topic ban

Hi, Callanecc,

Regarding NoonIcarus's April 2 topic ban (archive) and the May ArbCom, I am considering asking the community to relax the ban, going back to a revert restriction. My thoughts are that a) the arbcase revealed issues the community wasn't aware of during the ANI; b) some editors mentioned they didn't enter a declaration on the ANI as they thought it would be decided at the arb level (I recall for example Amakuru in addition to myself); and c) events and developments since the close of the arbcase may mean the broader community now has a better understanding of the bigger picture and the effect on Wikipedia.

Unless you think it's too soon to approach a noticeboard about re-visiting NI's topic ban (would the venue be WP:AN?), I would first want to discuss on NoonIcarus talk what I saw as behaviors contributing to the issues and how he might do better going forward. Is it OK for me to discuss his involvement in Venezuelan politics frankly on his talk page, and will he be able to respond there without breaching the topic ban ?

Thanks in advance for any advice (and I hope Amakuru will jump in as well), SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:00, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi SandyGeorgia, seems like a good time to go back to AN to reduce the TBAN to a revert restriction. No issue with you discussing the ban on NoonIcarus's talk page in order to prepare for a discussion about appealing it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:28, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Callanecc ... I'm quite busy over the next few days, and maybe Amakuru will weigh in before I get to this. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:31, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @SandyGeorgia and Callanecc: I'm on vacation currently, so quite busy, and don't have a huge amount of time but if I get a chance I'll review this in the next couple of days, remind myself of the circumstances. It sounds at first glance as if a reduction in scope would be appropriate. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 11:57, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

No hurry; I am similarly busy! Thanks, Amakuru. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:06, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Amakuru to save you some time, here's your previous post. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:10, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-37

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Feature news

• Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [1][2]
• Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions entity:getSitelink() and mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid) will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [3]

Project updates

• Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4]
• Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new MOS namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with MOS: (usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language code mos). [5]
