Technical news

  • Editors using the mobile website on Wikipedia can opt-in to new advanced features via your settings page. This will give access to more interface links, special pages, and tools.
  • The advanced version of the edit review pages (recent changes, watchlist, and related changes) now includes two new filters. These filters are for "All contents" and "All discussions". They will filter the view to just those namespaces.

Copyvio-revdel URL

Hello. I see you've placed a {{copyvio-revdel}} on User talk:77.216.110.99, but have added a tools.wmflabs.org URL as the |url=. The URL stated should be "The url of the site the article was in infringement of, or a text explanation of where the source(s) can be verified." (quoting the template's docs). You should probably fix that :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 14:50, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Fred Gandt, hello! So here's the thing - I actually can't link to the site that's being infringed upon. The URL it's infringing is on (or at least the one that the copyvio detector flags) is on the spam blacklist (the domain name contains the words "script," "o," and "rama") , so I can't even post it in a revdel request. I put the wmflabs URL in there in hopes that whichever admin came by to do the revdel would at least click through to see what the report said. Any suggestions on a better way to communicate that? creffpublic a creffett franchise (talk to the boss) 15:02, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Maybe email an admin? Right now, the actual URL shows "No Violation 0.0% confidence" with "No sources checked." so is about as useful as a chocolate teapot, and the "(Duplication Detector report · Copyvios report)" reports can't function as expected. Ad Orientem is a notably helpful admin you could try. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 15:33, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 Done I basically revdeled all of their edits to the page and posted a warning. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:55, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Ad Orientem thank you much! creffpublic a creffett franchise (talk to the boss) 16:57, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Told you Ad Orientem is great :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 18:15, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for telling, I won't revert my post on Leviticus 18, I will look for a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GayOrdinaryChristian (talkcontribs) 00:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Mieke Verloo

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know I have declined your CSD A7 of Mieke Verloo as they make a credible claim of significance. As well, they unambiguously pass WP:NPROF #1 per their Google Scholar citations.

@HickoryOughtShirt?4: All right, no problem. Thanks for the heads-up. creffpublic a creffett franchise (talk to the boss) 14:13, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Reminder

Boss, remember to comment on the open RfAs. creffpublic a creffett franchise (talk to the boss) 19:45, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
