== Coord missing: Second Battle of the Hook ==

Hi, how was {{diff|Second Battle of the Hook|prev|642820331|this}} determined? --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 11:12, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

:I'm not sure. With the categories currently given for the article, it should not have been tagged. The bot does not consider "involving" to be the same thing as "in", and even if it did, it would see both the UK and China listed, and would have rejected a direct association of the article with either. I will have to investigate further. -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome#top|talk]]) 12:02, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
::I wondered if it was an uninitialised string, left holding a value from an earlier edit - but the {{diff|Recreation Park (Raymore)|prev|642820321|previous one}} was United States, so that's not it. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:44, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
:::I now remember what it was -- alas, it was my error; an earlier version of the code didn't properly check for word boundaries, and ''did'' confuse "involved" with "in", because it started with the letters "in". A change to the relevant regexp fixed this some time ago, and I then tracked down what I believed to be all the incorrect edits and fixed them by hand. It seems I missed at least one. -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome#top|talk]]) 19:05, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

== [[User talk:DK Whitey]] ==

It seems entirely plausible that DK Whitey is a real name, as Whitey does appear to exist as a surname (there's even a "Whitey's Ice Cream" out there). So unless there's any problematic editing I don't see a justification for maintaining the block. Would you be agreeable to an unblock?

== [[Blood libel]]  ==

Thank you for your comment on Galassi's talk page.

I see that you are an administrator. I went to [[WP:RPP]] earlier to ask for the article to be protected, and found that another editor had asked for semi-protection. As I wrote there, I think ''registered'' editors have been the problem recently and full protection would be more appropriate. Would you mind taking a look at [[WP:RPP#Blood libel]]? Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/66.87.115.251|66.87.115.251]] ([[User talk:66.87.115.251|talk]]) 19:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

:I've just cut the Gordian knot by removing the quote entirely. It's not usual for us to quote entire sentences from other encyclopedias. and it looks peculiar here. Hopefully, you and the other editors involved can now sort out your differences in some other way that doesn't involve relying on the exact wording used by the ''Britannica.'' -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome#top|talk]]) 19:35, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
::I don't understand the problem with the Britannica quote, and I don't believe I've been involved in these reverts. Is removing the section the best option? I'm not sure, but I wish people would turn down the heat a little and discuss rather than revert. Thanks for keeping an eye out, though. [[User:DD2K|Dave Dial]] ([[User talk:DD2K|talk]]) 19:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
:::It seemed like the simplest thing to do without being seen to take sides. In any case, we should be sourcing our material from multiple [[WP:RS]], not another encyclopedia, and certainly not quoting the ''Britannica'' verbatim without extraordinarily good reason.  -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome#top|talk]]) 19:58, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
::::You're probably right. I did try to get editors to realize the mistake of removing a word from a quote, as it seems as if all the registered editors did not seem to bother to look at what was being removed or why, just that an ip restored it. In any case, thanks again. [[User:DD2K|Dave Dial]] ([[User talk:DD2K|talk]]) 20:06, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

{{od}} Thank you both. Most registered editors should read [[WP:IPs are human too]] every once in a while. [[Special:Contributions/66.87.115.251|66.87.115.251]] ([[User talk:66.87.115.251|talk]]) 20:22, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

== VisualEditor News #6—2015 ==

''[[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2015/December|Read this in another language]]  •  [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list]]''

<div style="float:right;width:230px;margin-left:1em;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;padding:1em;">
[[File:VisualEditor-logo.svg|200px|center]]'''Did you know?'''  
<div class="thumbcaption" style="font-size: 90%;">  

A new, simpler system for editing will offer a single Edit button.  Once the page has opened, you can switch back and forth between visual and wikitext editing.      

[[File:VisualEditor single edit tab preference dialog.png|alt=Screenshot showing a pop-up dialog for switching from the wikitext editor to VisualEditor|centre|frameless|230x230px]]If you prefer having separate edit buttons, then you can set that option in your preferences, either in a pop-up dialog the next time you open the visual editor, or by going to [[Special:Preferences]] and choosing the setting that you want: <br>[[File:VisualEditor single edit tab in preferences 2015-12-18.png|alt=Screenshot showing a drop-down menu in Special:Preferences|centre|frameless|230x230px]]<br>
The current plan is for the default setting to have the Edit button open the editing environment you used most recently.  <br><br>You can read and help translate [[:mw:VisualEditor/User guide|the user guide]], which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
</div></div>

Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor Team]] has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool.  Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]].  Their [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.   

=== Recent improvements ===
You can '''switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor''' after you start editing.    

The '''LaTeX mathematics formula editor''' has been significantly expanded. ([[phab:T118616|T118616)]] You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code.  You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.  

=== Future changes ===
The '''single edit tab''' project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website.  ([[phab:T102398|T102398]])  Initially, the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.  Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors.  Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the {{int:prefs-editing}} tab of [[Special:Preferences]] in the drop-down menu about "{{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs}}".   

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016:  [[w:am:|Amharic]], [[w:bug:|Buginese]], [[w:cdo:|Min Dong]], [[w:cr:|Cree]], [[w:gv:|Manx]], [[w:hak:|Hakka]], [[w:hy:|Armenian]], [[w:ka:|Georgian]], [[w:pnt:|Pontic]], [[w:sh:|Serbo-Croatian]], [[w:ti:|Tigrinya]], [[w:xmf:|Mingrelian]], [[w:za:|Zhuang]], and [[w:zh-min-nan:|Min Nan]]. ([[phab:T116523|T116523]]) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]].  The developers would like to know how well it works.  Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.  

In 2016, the '''feedback pages''' for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. ([[phab:T92661|T92661]])

=== Testing opportunities ===
* Please try the new system for the '''single edit tab''' on [https://test2.wikipedia.org test2.wikipedia.org].  You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences.  <mark>Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at [[mediawikiwiki:Topic:Suspcq0bf5nd3gsd|the feedback topic on mediawiki.org]] or [https://jfe.qualtrics.com/form/SV_6R04ammTX8uoJFP sign up for formal user research]</mark> (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in).  The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome.  The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-remember-last}},
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve}}, 
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt}}, and 
** {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-multi-tab}}.  (This is the current state for people using the visual editor.  None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)  
* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese?</mark> Language engineer [[mw:User:DChan (WMF)|David Chan]] needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at [[mw:VisualEditor/IME Testing#What to test]] if you can help, and report it on Phabricator ([[phab:T110654|Korean]] - [[phab:T109818|Japanese]]) or on Wikipedia ([[:ko:위키백과:시각편집기/IME|Korean]] - [//jp.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ビジュアルエディター/フィードバック/IME Japanese]).

==  Proposed deletion of Digon (disambiguation) ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Digon (disambiguation)]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Unnecessary disambiguation page per [[WP:TWODABS]].'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[{{TALKPAGENAME:Digon (disambiguation)}}|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:GeoffreyT2000|GeoffreyT2000]] ([[User talk:GeoffreyT2000|talk]]) 21:10, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
