unblock requests

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

CosmLearner/Archives/2024 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I think my edits are highlighted for adding conflicting reference and perhaps LLM-generated text. It wasn't my intention. I'm sincerely sorry for this. In future I'll add verifiable and reliable sources. I'll avoid using AI-generated text if it contains inaccurate information. I request to unblock the account. I'm interested to contribute in Wikipedia. Thank you for considering my request. 😬CsmLrner 16:44, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Please give an example(as part of a new request) of a properly sourced edit. I'd also like to see a commitment to not use an AI or LLM to create edits. Using LLMs is problematic for reasons beyond that they can generate inaccurate information. 331dot (talk) 17:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

@331dot I've added a new unblock request with an example of properly sourced paragraph and commitment to not use an AI or LLM to create edits. Please review. 😬CsmLrner 17:34, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

CosmLearner/Archives/2024 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

An example of a properly sourced edit - In human body, there are two kidneys located at the back of the abdominal cavity, on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage, adjacent to the back. The colour of kidneys is reddish.[1][2] The outer side of the kidney is convex, and the inner side is concave. The fold in the concave part is called the hilum. From the hilum, the ureter and renal vein exit, and the renal artery enters the kidney. Two ureters emerge from the two kidneys and enter the bladder.[3] The funnel-shaped wide part of the ureter is called the renal pelvis. kidneys are completely surrounded by a type of fibrous covering; it is called renal capsule. The part adjacent to the capsule is called cortex, and the inner part is called the medulla.[4] Both regions are composed of connective tissue and blood vessels. Typically, there are 8-12 renal pyramids in medulla. Expanding the tips of these pyramids forms the renal papilla. These papillae open directly into the pelvis. Each kidney has a special type of tubule called the uriniferous tubule. Each uriniferous tubule is divided into two parts: the nephron and the collecting tubule. Nephron produces urine, and collecting tubule carries the urine to the renal pelvis.[5]

I also am aware of using AI tool's like LLM's. ⁤⁤I commit that in my future edits won't be used AI-generated text. Thank you for considering of my request.

Accept reason:

I think that what you have written above shows that a basic understanding of the issues involved, so I shall unblock you to give you another chance. 👍 I hope that from now on you will be able to have a successful ime as an editor, without being blocked again.🤞 JBW (talk) 17:28, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Someone else will review your request; no problem with whatever action they might take(though I am not the blocking admin). 331dot (talk) 08:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

@331dot Thank you for your response. A lot of time has passed, and no other admin has reviewed it. So that is why I request you to review this block. 😬CsmLrner 08:09, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
It hasn't actually been that much time. Others have been waiting weeks and even months. Please be patient. 331dot (talk) 08:24, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
@331dot Since I have understood the reason for being blocked, I believe I should now be unblocked. 😬CsmLrner 20:15, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
@331dot Since I have understood the reason for being blocked should unblock. 😬CsmLrner 20:25, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
My last review puts an end to my involvement here. Do not ping me again, please 331dot (talk) 21:01, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Generally, cites to books need to include page numbers, so the specific section of the book can be compared with the claim it is attached to. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 20:53, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
@Jmcgnh I know. The paragraph I have written here is not a real Wikipedia article or taken from any Wikipedia article. If it were a real Wikipedia article, the page numbers of the books could have been mentioned. I haven't mentioned p number here because the sentences in the paragraph are generally known to everyone. If it were expanded, the page numbers of the books from which the sentences were taken could have been cited. But it is just a paragraph and it's not possible to directly reference p number from books because the paragraph has been condensed without describing anything in detail.
When editing a real article, I will definitely follow the rules and add proper references. 😬CsmLrner 15:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

DISPLAYTITLE

I had to remove the WP:DISPLAYTITLE on your user page because it attempted a disallowed modification. A few hints:

  • whitespace is a modification, use padding instead
  • animation will not work
  • display will break the style it is used in, that's a software/configuration thing
  • the webkit fallback has been obsolete for years, just use background:<some image/gradient> text; color:transparent

The following should work

  • {{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="text-transform:uppercase"><span style="font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif; background:linear-gradient(to right,#00c6ff,#0072ff) text; font-weight:300; letter-spacing:4px; font-size:1.4em; padding: 10px 20px; border: 2px solid transparent; border-image: linear-gradient(45deg, #00c6ff, #0072ff) 1; color:transparent"><span style="font-weight: 800">U</span>SER:</span><span style="color:transparent; filter: drop-shadow(0 0 .3em red); color: transparent"><span style="background: linear-gradient(90deg, #0FF, #F0F, #FF0) text; padding:0 .5ch">C</span><span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg, #F0F, #FF0, #0FF) text">osm</span></span><span style="color:transparent; filter: drop-shadow(0 0 .3em red)"><span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg, #FF0, #0FF, #F0F) text; padding:0 .5ch">L</span><span style="background: linear-gradient(90deg, #0FF, #F0F, #FF0) text; color:transparent">earner</span></span></span>}}

Weekly highlight

  • Communities can now request installation of Automoderator on their wiki. Automoderator is an automated anti-vandalism tool that reverts bad edits based on scores from the new "Revert Risk" machine learning model. You can read details about the necessary steps for installation and configuration. [1]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • It is now possible for <syntaxhighlight> code blocks to offer readers a "Copy" button if the copy=1 attribute is set on the tag. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [3]
  • Customized copyright footer messages on all wikis will be updated. The new versions will use wikitext markup instead of requiring editing raw HTML. [4]
  • Advanced item Later this month, temporary accounts will be rolled out on several pilot wikis. The final list of the wikis will be published in the second half of the month. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 11 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available.
  • Advanced item Rate limiting has been enabled for the code review tools Gerrit and GitLab to address ongoing issues caused by malicious traffic and scraping. Clients that open too many concurrent connections will be restricted for a few minutes. This rate limiting is managed through nftables firewall rules. For more details, see Wikitech's pages on Firewall, GitLab limits and Gerrit operations.
  • Five new wikis have been created:

October 2024

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at 2024 Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence, you may be blocked from editing. It has been already discussed that teacher resignation incident is not anti-Hindu, there is no reliable source that describes the incident as a communal one. And Indian mainstream media is also involved in the disinformation campaign as stated in the sources. There is a consensus that Al Jazeera is a reliable source. Do not remove the sourced contents. Za-ari-masen (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

@Za-ari-masen Sorry for the delay in responding. The discussion is ongoing. You have expressed your personal opinion. How did you determine which incident is anti-Hindu violence and which is not? In that discussion, an editor who has not contributed to the article made such a comment.
Do not use Twinkle on other people's talk pages to express your personal opinion. Try it in the sandbox. CosmLearner (talk) contribs 15:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Why are you removing cited contents as you did here? Do Al Jazeera English and Prothom Alo seem unreliable to you? Za-ari-masen (talk) 10:52, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
@Za-ari-masen According Prothom Alo, Indian Republic TV have shared some fake news. Let me clear. An example- Fox news in USA has right wing bias. If fox news spread any misinformation doesn't mean whole American media is spreading misinformation.
Al Jazeera is not independent and funded by Qatar state Govt. It is an Islamist media. Go to the Talk:2024_Bangladesh_anti-Hindu_violence#Using_Indian_citation. There others have shared link why Al Jazeera is unreliable. BBC report and other links.
Personally, to me, Prothom Alo is reliable and share true news. Even for sharing true news there was cyber-attack on their website.
and Al Jazeera is totally an Islamic media and supports attacks on Hindus by Muslims in Bangladesh and unreliable. 
  • Why have I removed? 
You have added your personal opinion citing the news links. The sentences don't support the reference. 
and request to you that discuss to the article's talk page and don't keep repeatedly reverting.  CosmLearner (talk) contribs 11:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Updates for editors

  • The Structured Discussion extension (also known as Flow) is starting to be removed. This extension is unmaintained and causes issues. It will be replaced by DiscussionTools, which is used on any regular talk page. A first set of wikis are being contacted. These wikis are invited to stop using Flow, and to move all Flow boards to sub-pages, as archives. At these wikis, a script will move all Flow pages that aren't a sub-page to a sub-page automatically, starting on 22 October 2024. On 28 October 2024, all Flow boards at these wikis will be set in read-only mode. [10][11]
  • WMF's Search Platform team is working on making it easier for readers to perform text searches in their language. A change last week on over 30 languages makes it easier to find words with accents and other diacritics. This applies to both full-text search and to types of advanced search such as the hastemplate and incategory keywords. More technical details (including a few other minor search upgrades) are available. [12]
  • View all 20 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, EditCheck was installed at Russian Wikipedia, and fixes were made for some missing user interface styles.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Editors who use the Toolforge tool Earwig's Copyright Violation Detector will now be required to log in with their Wikimedia account before running checks using the "search engine" option. This change is needed to help prevent external bots from misusing the system. Thanks to Chlod for these improvements. [13]
  • Phabricator users can create tickets and add comments on existing tickets via Email again. Sending email to Phabricator has been fixed. [14]
  • Advanced item Some HTML elements in the interface are now wrapped with a <bdi> element, to make our HTML output more aligned with Web standards. More changes like this will be coming in future weeks. This change might break some tools that rely on the previous HTML structure of the interface. Note that relying on the HTML structure of the interface is not recommended and might break at any time. [15]

In depth

  • The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes: updates on Wikimedia's authentication system, research to simplify feature development in the MediaWiki platform, updates on Parser Unification and MathML rollout, and more.
  • The latest quarterly Technical Community Newsletter is now available. This edition include: research about improving topic suggestions related to countries, improvements to PHPUnit tests, and more.

Tech News: 2024-43

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

Weekly highlight

  • The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.

Updates for editors

  • Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
  • Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
  • View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [16][17][18][19][20]
  • It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "15 November 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [21][22]
  • Advanced item Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [23]
  • The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [24]

In depth

  • The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
  • The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [26]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [27]
