Any idea on what to do with this one? The one on Commons is essentially the same image, but the text has been typeset by someone else who made a typo in one of the words. Should we try to get one deleted? --Stefan2 (talk) 13:40, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

@Stefan2: I would probably try to fix the typo in the Commons image and then propose deletion of the local image.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 14:04, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- The easiest way to fix the typo is probably to overwrite the Commons file with the Wikipedia file. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:21, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi: Just a note that it's unclear if you have approved the ALT hook provided at Template:Did you know nominations/Paraelongatoolithus. If you have, please consider adding the standard {{subst:DYKtick}} mark. Otherwise, promoters may skim past the entry on the main DYK nominations page, thinking that it has not been approved.

Tech News: 2016-11

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

Recent changes

The mobile web interface no longer suggests HiDPI thumbnails. This is to take up less bandwidth on slow or expensive connections. [1]
The search engine on wikipedia.org has been updated. [2]

Changes this week

Wikimedia has a new backup data center in Dallas. Because of planned work on this, you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for a short period of time on both 22 March and 24 March. This could be postponed to April 18. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. Because of a test, there will also be a couple of minutes where you can't edit the wikis on 15 March starting 07:00 UTC. You can read more about the server work. There will be more notifications and updates about this.
Administrators and other users with advanced permissions will need to have an 8-byte long passwords. This change takes place on 15 March. Users with too short passwords will be asked to change password the next time they log in. This was decided in a discussion on Meta and is because they can use tools that can hurt the wikis. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).
The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [4]

Meetings

You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 15 March at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
You can join the next meeting with the Architecture committee. The topics this week are backlog and thumb API. The meeting will be on 16 March at 21:00 (UTC). See how to join.

DYK nomination of Cordón del Azufre

Hello! Your submission of Cordón del Azufre at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! GregorB (talk) 21:05, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

ARSloid

Well I have to address the content you removed.

The location you reference is a torrent site who copied their information from the Vocaloid wikia. Incidentally, the information that site uses was stuff I myself had written that on the Vocaloid wikia. I transferred the information I had written on the wikia to wikipedia with tweaks. I have already reported that the bot who pulled up that information is linking to torrent pages and explained the situation there. Angel Emfrbl (talk) 07:41, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Maryn mckenna

I edited the article so that it isn't in copyright conflict. Does that mean it will still be deleted? I'm still new here but from now on I know not to copy and paste. Also, do you have any advice for finding an image for a new article that isn't copyrighted? Book-Portal & Talk 12:52, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

@BookPortal: I've retracted the deletion request. For the images, you may want to search on Wikimedia Commons if they have a free image there.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:05, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus:I'm currently working on a new draft here. When I'm finished, where can I go so it can be reviewed before trying to create the article again? Book-Portal & Talk 13:10, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

@BookDraft: You may want to use Wikipedia:AfC by adding {{subst:submit}} in your draft. I note however that it looks like some text has been copied and only slightly modified from http://marynmckenna.com/bio/, something that could still be a copyright issue.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:15, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Template:Protected generic image name

A few files were not included in your nomination at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 March 7#Template:Protected generic image name. You might wish to nominate the remaining ones for deletion too. I found these files:

Also one more which is listed on today's FFD page. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:40, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, they are now all at FFD. Let's hope I didn't omit anything this time (both in terms of files and procedure) Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 21:35, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Apart from one G4 candidate, there are no other files which use {{Protected generic image name}} or exist in multiple copies. It's possible that there are some files which only exist in one copy (same SHA1 checksum not reused for any other image). --Stefan2 (talk) 23:55, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
