Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. {{U|Sainsf}} took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, {{U|MPJ-DK}} earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points.

In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year!  At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490.  We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of.  Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles.  We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible.

To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place ('''all pools combined''') will also move on. Round 2 will start on '''April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC''' and end on '''April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC'''. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/2016/Pools/Round 2|here]]

Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: '''All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor.''' The judges will strictly enforce this new rule.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}.

When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead.  The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button.  You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|Special:Preferences]].  

You can choose one or two edit tabs.  If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots).  See [[:mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors|Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors]] for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at [[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab]].  If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback]].

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Thursday saw the end of Round 2. {{U|Sainsf}} once again took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 996 (a higher score then he received in Round 1!). In second place, {{U|MPJ-DK}} earned an astounding 541 points, and in third place, Carbrera received 419 points.

In Round 2, 142 reviews were completed!  At the beginning of April, there were 486 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 384.  Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue.  At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report&oldid=707697743]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report]  It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of.  Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles.  We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep lowering the backlog as much as possible.

To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. We had an unusual occurrence happen in Round 2: because only one contestant submitted reviews in one pool, we selected the contestant with the next highest score to move forward to Round 3.  (There will be a rule change for future competitions in case something like this happens again.)  For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place ('''all pools combined''') will also move on. Round 3 will start on '''May 1 at 0:00:01 UTC''' and end on '''May 29 at 23:59:59 UTC'''. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/2016/Pools/Round 3|here]].

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}.

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

It has been brought to our attention that we made a mistake in the last newsletter. In the last newsletter, we said that the "'''4th place'''" overall would make the Final along with the top user from each pool. However, the users who will advance will be the top user from each pool along with "'''4th and 5th place'''" overall.

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that we caused.

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}.

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. {{U|Sainsf}}, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, {{U|MPJ-DK}} earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, {{U|Carbrera}} received 137 points with just 9 articles.  Our two wildcard slots went to {{U|J_Milburn|J Milburn}} with 122 points and {{U|Sturmvogel_66|Sturmvogel 66}} with 101 points.

In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed!  At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394.  Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue.  At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report&oldid=707697743]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of.  Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles.  We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue. 

To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on ''June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC''' and end on '''June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC'''. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/2016/Pools/Finals|here]].  A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round.

We wish all the contestants the best of luck!

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}.

It's quick and easy to insert a references list.
[[File:VisualEditor References List Insert Menu-en.png|alt=Screenshot showing a dropdown menu with many items|center|frameless|150px]]  

Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page).  Open the "{{int:visualeditor-toolbar-insert}}" menu and click the "{{int:cite-ve-dialogbutton-referenceslist-tooltip}}" icon (three books).

If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references.

Finally, click "{{int:visualeditor-dialog-action-insert}}" in the dialog to insert the {{int:cite-ve-dialogbutton-referenceslist-tooltip}}.  This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page.

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. Their workboard is available [[phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]]. Their [[:mw:VisualEditor/Current priorities|current priorities]] are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.   

=== Recent changes ===
The visual editor is now available to all users at most [[Wikivoyage:|Wikivoyages]].  It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.

The '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab|single edit tab]]''' feature combines the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab.  It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages.  At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "{{int:prefs-editing}}" tab of [[Special:Preferences]]. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.

=== Future changes ===
The "{{int:Savearticle}}" button will say "{{int:Publishpage}}".   This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems.  More [[M:Editing/Publish|information is available on Meta]].

The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining [[:mw:VisualEditor/Rollouts|"Phase 6" Wikipedias]] during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at [[:mw:Topic:St8y4ni42d0vr9cv|the feedback thread on mediawiki.org]]. This will affect several languages, including: [[:w:ar: |'''Arabic''']], [[:w:hi: |'''Hindi''']], [[:w:th: |'''Thai''']], [[:w:ta: |'''Tamil''']], [[:w:mr: |'''Marathi''']], [[:w:ml: |'''Malayalam''']], [[:w:ur: |'''Urdu''']], [[:w:fa: |'''Persian''']], [[:w:bn: |'''Bengali''']], [[:w:as: |'''Assamese''']], [[:w:arc: |'''Aramaic''']] and others.

The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. ([[phab:T138966|T138966]]) 

The team is working on a modern wikitext editor.  It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools.  This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016.  You can read about this project in a [[:mw:VisualEditor/Roadmap/Update 2016-06-23|general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list]]. 

=== Let's work together ===
* Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help [[:mw:Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki]]? Have you written or imported [[:mw:Help:TemplateData|TemplateData]] for your most important citation templates?  <mark>Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor?  Please sign up for the new [[:mw:Help:VisualEditor/Community Taskforce|'''VisualEditor Community Taskforce''']].</mark>
* Learn how to improve the "automagical" [[:mw:citoid|citoid]] referencing system in the visual editor, by creating [[:en:Zotero|Zotero]] translators for popular sources in your language!  Watch the [[Mw:Citoid/Zotero's Tech Talk|Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher]] for more information.

Hello to our truly awesome GA Cup competitors!

Thursday, June 30 saw the end of the 2016 GA Cup.  It was a huge success.  In the final, our five competitors reviewed an astonishing 207 articles, the most in any GA Cup final thus far.  We continue to reach our goals and make a substantial impact in how quickly articles are reviewed for GA status.  On March 1, the start of this competition, the article longest in the queue had languished there since June 26, 2015 [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report&oldid=707697743]; in the July 1, 2016 list, the average wait length is just four months [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations/Report].  It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of.  Thanks to all our competitors for their enthusiasm, and for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success.  Remember that most articles can't even be considered for FA status unless it's been passed to GA first, so our efforts have created hundreds of potentials FAs.  That is, as they say, a big deal.

The final this time represented a real horse race between our 1st and 2nd place winners.  First-time competitor (who had won all previous rounds) {{U|Sainsf}} earned an impressive 1456 points with 91 articles reviewed during the final. Close behind, in second place was {{U|Carbrera}}, also a first-time competitor, reviewed the most articles (94).  Their enthusiasm was a treat to witness.  Congrats to you both!

The competition went relatively smoothly, with very little drama this time.  We had to clarify one rule: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round.  We were strict about adhering to this clarification, especially at the end of the final.  We intend on stressing it in the stated rules for our next competition, which will be announced soon, so watch out for it.  We also intend on applying for a grant through Wikimedia to include gift certificates for our winners, to further incentivize the GA Cup.

{{U|MrWooHoo}} should receive special recognition for acting as our main judge, and for stepping in for the rest of the judges when real-life busyness took over.  He reviewed the majority of the submissions during our final round.  Thanks for your hard work, and for the hard work of all our judges.  We look forward to the next competition.

Again, thanks to all our competitors, and congrats to our winners.

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}.

Greetings, all!  

We would like to announce the start of the 4th [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of [[WP:GAN|Good article nominations]]! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again.  Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed.  We hope that we can again make an impact this time.

The 4th GA Cup will begin on '''November 1, 2016'''.  Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers.  We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins.  The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|Sign-ups]] for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on October 31, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}.

Greetings, all!  

We would like to announce the start of the 4th [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of [[WP:GAN|Good article nominations]]! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again.  Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed.  We hope that we can again make an impact this time.

The 4th GA Cup will begin on '''November 1, 2016'''.  Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers.  We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins.  The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|Sign-ups]] for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to [[User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga|Krishna Chaitanya Velaga]] for aiding in getting this message out.

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

November 28, 2016 was supposed to mark the end of the first round. However, we needed 16 competitors to move on, and currently only 10 have completed articles.
Thus, the judges have come together to let the participants decide what we shall do. Please complete [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4mP7-zYbPRFkDONV82vRlcHe6bk9hNqdv_X0nw3v9btS46g/viewform this quick survey] to let us know whether you would like a holiday break.

There will be two options for what we will do next in terms of Round 2 depending on the results of this poll.

*If the survey indicates that the competitors want a break, we will have a 2nd round after the break ends with just the 10 competitors who have reviewed articles, starting in January (with a specific date TBA).
*If the survey does not indicate that participants want a break, we will extend Round 1 until the end of December.

We apologize for sending out this newsletter late.
Cheers from {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}!

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

December 29th marked the end of the first round, after it was extended from its previously scheduled conclusion at the end of November. Because of the smaller pool of contestants this year, it was decided to keep sign-ups open throughout the month of December. 

This extension proved to be very helpful as we saw that more users signed up and completed many reviews. {{U|Krishna Chaitanya Velaga}} earned an impressive 402 points, followed by {{U|Cartoon network freak}} with a close 338 points. {{U|Shearonink}} who signed up after our extension was in third with 170 points.

We had a rule clarification in Round 1 which was that many articles were being passed with blatant copyright violations and plagarism occurring in the articles. Thus, the judges have concluded that if an article is passed even if it has a copyright violation/plagarism, we will not provide points for that article as it wouldn't be considered a "complete review" under the scoring rules.

In the end, 94 articles were reviewed by 14 users who will all advance to Round 2. The judges had planned on having 16 contestants advance but since only 14 did, we are changing the pools in this round. We will be having '''2 pools of 3''' and '''2 pools of 4''' in Round 2, with the top 2 in each pool advancing to Round 3 as well as the top participant ("9th place") of all remaining competitors.  Round 2 will begin on '''January 1 at 00:00:00 UTC''' and will end on '''January 29 at 23:59:59 UTC'''.  Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/2016-2017/Pools/Round 2|here]].

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Sunday saw the end of Round 2. Shearonink took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 499. In second place, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga earned an astounding 236 points, and in third place, Cartoon network freak received 136 points. Originally, we had plans for one wild card for 9th place, however it appears that both Chris troutman and J Milburn were tied for 9th place. Therefore, we have decided to have both advance to Round 3.

In Round 2, 91 reviews were completed! At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 7 months; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased to a little over 6 months. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep decreasing the backlog.

To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard.  For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 has already started and will end on February 26 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found [[here]].

Also, we'd like to announce the departure of judge {{U|Zwerg Nase}}. We thank him for all his hardwork and hope to see him back in the future.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, and {{noping|MrWooHoo}}.

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Sunday, February 26 saw the end of Round 3. Shearonink finished in first with 616 points, which is more than the point totals for all the other competitors combined! In second place, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga earned an impressive 152 points, followed by Sturmvogel_66 in third with 111 points. Chris troutman and Kees08 each received a wild-card and were able to advance to the Final Round. There was a major error on the part of the judges, and initially, 8 users were advanced instead of 5. This has been corrected, and we sincerely apologize for this confusion.

In Round 3, 71 reviews were completed! At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 7 months; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait is still holding steady at a little over 6 months, the same as for the previous round. By the end of all three Rounds, the total number of nominations increased slightly - this suggests that users are more willing to nominate, knowing that their articles will be reviewed. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Final so we can keep tackling the backlog.

In the Final Round, the user with the highest score will be the winner. The Final has already started and will end on March 31st at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Finals and the pools can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/2016-2017/Pools/Final|here]].

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, and {{noping|MrWooHoo}}.

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

Saturday, April 1 concluded the 2016-2017 GA Cup. 64 reviews were completed by our finalists. Although the backlog increased by 42 over the reviewing period instead of declining, the increase suggests that the contest is encouraging editors to nominate articles for review.
 
Congratulations to Shearonink, who is the winner of the Cup, finishing with 672 points! Once again, just as in last round, this is more than the point totals for all the other competitors combined! It was a close race for second place between Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, who achieved 164 points, and Sturmvogel_66, who earned 150. Though Sturmvogel_66 reviewed one more article than Krishna Chaitanya Velaga, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga managed to earn 14 points more due to reviewing older articles. Our two wildcard competitors, Kees08 and Chris troutman, came in fourth and fifth, respectively.

There were some bumps in the competition this time: The sign-up deadline and the first round were both extended due to fewer competitors signing up then was planned for. And there were delays in tallying points and getting out the newsletter. The judges apologize for this latter difficulty. Lastly, mid-way through the competition we bid farewell to Zwerg Nase, who stepped down from their position as judge due to other commitments. Information about the Final can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/2016-2017/Pools/Final|here]].

Thank you to all of our competitors, and congrats to our winners!

Cheers from {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, and {{noping|MrWooHoo}}.

Did you know that you can review your changes visually? 

[[File:VisualEditor visual diff tool - visual diff.png|alt=Screenshot showing some changes to an article.  Most changes are highlighted with text formatting.|center|frameless|245x245px]]When you are finished editing the page, type your edit summary and then choose "{{int:visualeditor-savedialog-label-review}}".  
In visual mode, you will see additions, removals, new links, and formatting highlighted.  Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

[[File:VisualEditor visual diff tool - toggle button.png|alt=Toggle button showing visual and wikitext options; visual option is selected.|center|frameless|220x220px]]

Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

[[File:VisualEditor visual diff tool - wikitext diff.png|alt=Screenshot showing the same changes, in the two-column wikitext diff display.|center|frameless|245x245px]]

The wikitext diff is the same diff tool that is used in the wikitext editors and in the page history. 

You can read and help translate [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/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 spent most of their time supporting [[:mw:2017_wikitext_editor|the 2017 wikitext editor mode]] which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and adding [[:mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|the new visual diff tool]]. Their workboard is available [[:phab:project/board/483/|in Phabricator]].  You can find links to the work finished each week at  [[:mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings|mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings]].   Their [[:mw:VisualEditor/Current_priorities|current priorities]] are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor as a [[:mw:Beta Features|beta feature]], and improving the visual diff tool.   

=== Recent changes ===

A '''new wikitext editing mode''' is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices.  The [[:mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]] has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools.  Go to [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures]] to enable the {{int:Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label}}. 

A new '''[[:mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|visual diff tool]]''' is available in VisualEditor's visual mode.  You can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs.  More features will be added to this later.  In the future, this tool may be integrated into other MediaWiki components. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143350]

The team have added [[:mw:Editing/Projects/Columns_for_references|multi-column support for lists of footnotes]]. The <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  You can [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Cite,VisualEditor,Wikimedia-Site-requests&title=Convert%20reference%20lists%20over%20to%20`responsive`%20on%20XXwiki&priority=10&parent=159895 '''request multi-column support'''] for your wiki. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T33597]

Other changes:
* You can now use your web browser's function to switch typing direction in the new wikitext mode. This is particularly helpful for RTL language users like Urdu or Hebrew who have to write JavaScript or CSS. You can use Command+Shift+X or Control+Shift+X to trigger this. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153356]
* The way to switch between the visual editing mode and the wikitext editing mode is now consistent. There is a drop-down menu that shows the two options. This is now the same in desktop and mobile web editing, and inside things that embed editing, such as Flow. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116417]
* The {{int:visualeditor-categories-tool}} item has been moved to the top of the {{int:visualeditor-pagemenu-tooltip}} menu (from clicking on the  [[File:VisualEditor - Icon - Menu.svg|alt="hamburger"|24x24px]] icon) for quicker access. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74399] There is also now a "Templates used on this page" feature there. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149009]
* You can now create <code><nowiki><chem></nowiki></code>  tags (sometimes used as <code><nowiki><ce></nowiki></code>) for chemical formulas inside the visual editor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153365]
* Tables can be set as collapsed or un-collapsed. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T157989]
* The {{int:visualeditor-specialcharacter-button-tooltip}} menu now includes characters for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics and angle quotation marks (‹› and ⟨⟩) .  The team thanks the volunteer developer, [[:S:en:User:Tpt|Tpt]]. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108626]
* A bug caused some section edit conflicts to blank the rest of the page.  This has been fixed.  The team are sorry for the disruption. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154217]
* There is a new keyboard shortcut for citations:  <code>Control</code>+<code>Shift</code>+<code>K</code> on a PC, or <code>Command</code>+<code>Shift</code>+<code>K</code> on a Mac.  It is based on the keyboard shortcut for making links, which is <code>Control</code>+<code>K</code> on a PC or <code>Command</code>+<code>K</code> on a Mac. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99299]

=== Future changes ===
* The VisualEditor team is working with the Community Tech team on a syntax highlighting tool.  It will highlight matching pairs of <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags and other types of wikitext syntax.  You will be able to turn it on and off.  It will first become available in VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode, maybe late in 2017. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101246]
* The kind of button used to {{int:Showpreview}}, {{int:showdiff}}, and finish an edit will change in all WMF-supported wikitext editors.  The new buttons will use [[:mw:OOjs UI|OOjs UI]].  The buttons will be larger, brighter, and easier to read.  The labels will remain the same.  You can test the new button by editing a page and adding <code>&ooui=1</code> to the end of the URL, like this:  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1  The old appearance will no longer be possible, even with local CSS changes.  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162849]
* The [[:mw:File:Edit_toolbar_-_2.png|outdated 2006 wikitext editor]] will be removed later this year.  It is used by approximately 0.03% of active editors.  See [[:mw:Editor|a list of editing tools on mediawiki.org]] if you are uncertain which one you use.  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T30856]

==WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan==

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of '''WikiProject Wikify''' and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by [[WP:WikiProject Wikify|'''WikiProject Wikify''']] members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the [[Template:Underlinked|Underlinked Template Message]] - {{tl|underlinked}} - a list of which can be found [[:Category:All articles with too few wikilinks|'''here''']] - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have '''nothing to link''' or are have had wikilinks '''sufficiently added''' should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Participants|'''joining''']] if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

Did you know that you can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Diffs|visual diff tool]] on any page?

[[File:Wikitext diff paragraph move correcting vandalism 2018.png|alt=Screenshot showing some changes, in the two-column wikitext diff display|center|frameless|250px]]

Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff.  This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.

If you [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|enable the Beta Feature]] for "{{Int:visualeditor-preference-visualdiffpage-label}}", you will have a new option.  It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page.  This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.

[[File:VisualEditor visual diff tool - toggle button.png|alt=Toggle button showing visual and wikitext options; visual option is selected|center|frameless|200px]]
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.

In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted.  Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.

[[File:Visual diff paragraph move correcting vandalism 2018.png|alt=Screenshot showing the same changes to an article.  Most changes are highlighted with text formatting.|center|frameless|250px]]

This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff.  The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.  An arrow indicates that the paragraph changed location.

You can read and help translate [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User guide|the user guide]], which has more information about how to use the visual editor.  
</div></div>

Since [[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2017/May|the last newsletter]], the [[mw:Editing|Editing Team]] has spent most of their time supporting [[mw:2017 wikitext editor|the 2017 wikitext editor mode]], which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving [[mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|the visual diff tool]]. Their work board is available [[phab:project/view/3236/|in Phabricator]].  You can find links to the work finished each week at [[mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings]].  Their [[mw:Editing team/Current priorities|current priorities]] are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.

===Recent changes===
*The '''[[mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]]''' is [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|available as a Beta Feature]] on desktop devices.  It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools.  The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments.  They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing.  The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January.  Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor.  Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits.  More information will be posted at [[mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance]].
*The '''[[mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|visual diff tool]]''' was developed for the visual editor.  It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor.  When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs.  You can also [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|enable the new Beta Feature]] for "Visual diffs".  The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and [[Special:RecentChanges]].  [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167508]
*[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CodeMirror|'''Wikitext syntax highlighting''']] is available as a Beta Feature for both [[mw:2017 wikitext editor|the 2017 wikitext editor]] and the 2010 wikitext editor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101246]
*The [[mw:Citoid|citoid service]] automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates.  This tool has been used at the English Wikipedia for a long time.  It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be tricky for admins to set up.  <mark>Other wikis can have this service, too.  Please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|read the instructions]]. You can [[phab:T127354|ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki]]</mark>.

===Let's work together===
*The team is planning a presentation about editing tools for an upcoming [[m:Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meetings|Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting]].
*Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors.  If your community wants this, then please contact [[mw:User talk:Deskana (WMF)|Dan Garry]].
*The <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> block can [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Projects/Columns for references|automatically display long lists of references in columns]] on wide screens.  This makes footnotes easier to read.  This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia.  If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code> or the plain (no parameters) <code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code> template.  If you edit a different wiki, you can [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=Cite,VisualEditor,Wikimedia-Site-requests&title=Convert%20reference%20lists%20over%20to%20`responsive`%20on%20XXwiki&priority=10&parent=159895 '''request multi-column support'''] for your wiki.

<small>By {{User link|Lionelt}}</small>

Last month's auspicious relaunch of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Outreach/April 2018|our newsletter]] precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard&oldid=837089062#Motion:_Misuse_of_Administrator_Tools Their ruling] resulted in the admonishment of administrator {{u|Future Perfect at Sunrise}} for his involvement in the dispute. The story [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-04-26/Arbitration_report|was reported]] by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper ''The Signpost''.

The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/RfC:_Ending_the_system_of_portals|protracted discussion]]. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original [[Portal:Christianity|Christianity Portal]] was created on November 5, 2005 by {{User link|Brisvegas}} and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. {{u|The Transhumanist}} has revived [[WP:WikiProject Portals|WikiProject Portals]] with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

[[Image:Nate Saint Plane.jpg|150px|The reconstructed frame of Nate Saint's plane used in Operation Auca]]

'''[[Operation Auca]]''' was an attempt by five [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]] [[Christianity|Christian]] [[missionaries]] from the [[United States]] to make contact with the [[Huaorani]] people of the [[Amazon Rainforest|rainforest]] of [[Ecuador]]. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first [[Protestantism|Protestants]] to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on [[January 2]], [[1956]], the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a [[Bar (landform)|sandbar]] along the [[Curaray River]], a few miles from Huaorani settlements.  Their efforts culminated on [[January 8]], [[1956]], when all five&mdash;[[Jim Elliot]], [[Nate Saint]], Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and [[Roger Youderian]]&mdash;were attacked and [[spear]]ed by a group of Huaorani warriors.  The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and [[Life (magazine)|''Life'' magazine]] covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production ''[[End of the Spear]]''. ('''[[Operation Auca|more...]]''')

This depiction departs significantly from the historical record of how Mortara was taken—no clergy were present, for example.}}</div>
The '''[[Mortara case]]''' was a controversy precipitated by the [[Papal States]]' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in [[Bologna|Bologna, Italy]], in 1858. The city's [[inquisitor]], Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered [[emergency baptism]] to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the [[Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith| Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition]] held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but [[Pope Pius IX]] would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was [[Ordination|ordained]] in France three years later. In 1870 the [[Kingdom of Italy]] captured Rome during the [[Italian unification|unification of Italy]], ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall. {{TFAFULL|Mortara case}}

== Would "PD-self" (Public Domain) be okay for you too? ==

Hi {{Smiley}}

You have created beautiful padlock icons in 2014, which I would like to transfer to Wikimedia Commons. A list can be found here: [[Special:ListFiles/JordanKyser22]]

However, I'm not entirely sure about the license. The problem with this kind of icons is that they might be used without attribution; clicking a padlock links to the relevant protection policy, not the image page. For this reason, all other padlock images are licensed "public domain". See these for example: [[File:Padlock.svg|16px]][[:commons:File:Padlock.svg]], [[File:Padlock-blue.svg|16px]][[:commons:File:Padlock-blue.svg]]

Would you mind replacing the GPL and Creative Commons license on your padlock modifications with <code><nowiki>{{PD-self}}</nowiki></code>? ([[Template:PD-self]] shows how this would look like)

While you're at it, you likely had a source for your padlocks. This might have been the Open Clipart Library, or the SVG file [[:commons:File:Padlock.svg]]? Could you take a moment to clarify that on the image description page? Thanks! [[User:ToBeFree|~ ToBeFree]] ([[User talk:ToBeFree|talk]]) 02:11, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

# [[Elizabeth I of England]] – legendary monarch who ushered in the Elizabethan Era over the dead body of her [[Mary, Queen of Scots|half-sister]] (#5)

# [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] – can't wait to see the [[United_States_five-dollar_bill#Redesign|new US$5 bill]] featuring the "I Have a Dream" speech
# [[Seven deadly sins]] – surprisingly "original research" is not one of the Seven deadly sins
# [[Mary, Queen of Scots]] – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC)

'''[[List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events]]'''. Predictions of [[apocalypse|apocalyptic events]] that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the [[Christian Era]]. Most predictions are related to [[Abrahamic religions]], often standing for or similar to the [[eschatological]] events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the [[Rapture]], [[Great Tribulation]], [[Last Judgment]], and the [[Second Coming of Christ]].

Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be [[nuclear war]], while experts thought it would be [[Existential risk from artificial general intelligence|artificial intelligence]]. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by [[zombies]] or [[alien invasion]]. ([[List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events|more...]])

'''Did you know?'''  
<div class="thumbcaption" style="font-size: 90%;">  

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device? 
[[File:Mobile editing watchlist star editing pencil.png|alt= Screenshot showing the location of the pencil icon|center|frameless|250px]]

Tap on the pencil icon to start editing.  The page will probably open in the wikitext editor. 

You will see another pencil icon in the toolbar.  Tap on that pencil icon to the switch between visual editing and wikitext editing.

Since the last newsletter, the [[mw:Editing|Editing Team]] has wrapped up most of their work on the [[mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]] and [[mw:VisualEditor/Diffs|the visual diff tool]].    The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices.  Their work board is available [[phab:project/view/3236/|in Phabricator]].  Their [[mw:Wikimedia Audiences/2018-19 Q2 Goals#Contributors|current priorities]] are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.    

=== Recent changes  ===
* The Editing team has published an [[mw:Mobile editing using the visual editor report|initial report about mobile editing]].   
* The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website.  New editors have trouble doing basic tasks on a smartphone, such as adding links to Wikipedia articles.  You can [[:c:File:Visual Editor Heuristic - Results.pdf|read the report]]. 
* The Reading team is working on a [[mw:Reading/Web/Advanced mobile contributions|separate mobile-based contributions project]]. 
* The 2006 wikitext editor is [[mw:Contributors/Projects/Removal of the 2006 wikitext editor|no longer supported]].  If you used [[:File:Edit toolbar - 2.png|that toolbar]], then you will no longer see any toolbar.  You may choose another editing tool in your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|editing preferences]], [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|local gadgets]], or [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]]. 
* The Editing team described the history and status of [[mw:Extension:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] in [[m:Wikimedia monthly activities meetings/2018-03|this recorded public presentation]] (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds). 
* The Language team released [[mw:Content translation/V2|a new version of Content Translation]] (CX2) last month, on [[foundationsite:2018/09/30/international-translation-day/|International Translation Day]].  It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images.  It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published.  [https://wikimediafoundation.org/2018/09/30/content-translation-version-two/]

=== Let's work together  ===
* The Editing team wants to improve visual editing on the mobile website.   <mark> Please [[mw:Visual-based mobile editing/Ideas/October 2018|read their ideas]] and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site. </mark>  
* The [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019|Community Wishlist Survey]] begins next week. 
* If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations!

# [[Elizabeth I of England]] – The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor who ushered in the [[Elizabethan Era]], reversed re-establishment of Roman Catholicism by her [[Mary I of England|half-sister]]. 
# [[Henry VIII of England]] – [[King of England]], He was an accomplished musician, author, and poet; his known piece of music is "[[Pastime with Good Company]]". He is often reputed to have written "[[Greensleeves]]" but probably did not. He had [[Wives of King Henry VIII|six marriages]].

'''[[Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral]]''' is a [[Gothic Revival]] three-spire cathedral in the city of [[Cork (city)|Cork]], [[Ireland]]. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to [[Finbarr of Cork]], patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the [[Church of Ireland]] Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of [[Dublin]]. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene.

== Editing News #1—July 2019 ==

''[[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2019/July|Read this in another language]] • [[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter]]''

<div style="float:right;width:270px;margin-left:1em;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;padding:1em;">
[[File:VisualEditor-logo.svg|200px|center]]
<big>'''Did you know?'''</big>
<div class="thumbcaption" style="font-size: 90%;">  

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Every article has a pencil icon at the top.  Tap on the pencil icon [[File:OOjs UI icon edit-ltr.svg|frameless|16x16px]] to start editing.  

'''<big>Edit Cards</big>'''

[[File:EditCards-v.20.png|alt=Toolbar with menu opened|center|frameless|250px]]

This is what the new '''Edit Cards for editing links''' in the mobile visual editor look like. You can try the prototype here: '''[[mw:Topic:V394zwrigth8ii7c|📲 Try Edit Cards]].'''
</div></div>

Welcome back to the [[mw:Editing|Editing]] newsletter.    

Since [[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2018/October|the last newsletter]], the team has released two new features for the [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|mobile visual editor]] and has started developing three more.  All of this work is part of the team's goal to [[metawiki:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2018-2019/Audiences#Outcome 3: Mobile Contribution|make editing on mobile web simpler.]]   

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:   

'''Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?'''

If you are interested, we would value your input!  You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki. 

''Follow these instructions and share your experience:'' 

'''[[mw:Topic:V394zwrigth8ii7c|📲 Try Edit Cards]].'''   

=== Recent releases ===
The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the [[Mw:Reading/Web/Mobile#About|mobile site]].  The Editing team has recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor: 

# [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Section editing|Section editing]]
#* The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
#* The team studied this with an A/B test.  [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Section editing#16 June 2019|This test showed]] that contributors who could use section editing were '''1% more likely to publish''' the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
# [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile#March 1, 2019|Loading overlay]]
#* The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are '''now available to everyone''' using the mobile visual editor.

=== New and active projects ===
This is a list of our most active projects. [[mw:Help:Watching pages|Watch]] these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards|Edit cards]]: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles.  You can try this feature now.  ''Go here to see how:'' [[mw:Topic:V394zwrigth8ii7c|📲''Try Edit Cards'']]''.''
*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Toolbar refresh|Mobile toolbar refresh]]: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default|Mobile visual editor availability]]: This A/B test asks:  ''Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor?''  We are collaborating with [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/VE mobile default#26 June 2019 %E2%80%93 Participating wikis and test start date|20 Wikipedias]] to answer this question.
*[[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Usability improvements|Usability improvements]]: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use.  The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

=== Looking ahead ===

* '''Wikimania:'''  Several members of the Editing Team will be attending [https://wikimania2019.wikimedia.org/wiki/ Wikimania] in August 2019.  They will lead a session about mobile editing in the [[wmania:2019:Community Growth/Visual editing on mobile: An accessible editor for all|Community Growth space]].  Talk to them about how editing can be improved.
* '''Talk Pages:'''  In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|improving talk pages]] and communication on the wikis.

=== Learning more ===
The [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|VisualEditor on mobile]] is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at [[mw:Talk:VisualEditor on mobile|Talk:VisualEditor on mobile]].

A suicide attack on [[July 11]]th claimed by [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant|Islamic State (IS)]] near a church in the  [[Syria|Syrian]] city of [[Qamishli]] shows that Christians remain a major target of the terror group. The Top 6 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Christianity/Popular_pages|most popular articles about People]] in [[WP:X|WikiProject Christianity]] were:
<ol style="margin-left: -2.0em;">
# [[Henry VIII of England]] – [[King of England]], He was an accomplished musician, author, and poet; his known piece of music is "[[Pastime with Good Company]]". He is often reputed to have written "[[Greensleeves]]" but probably did not. He had [[Wives of King Henry VIII|six marriages]].
# [[Elena Cornaro Piscopia]] – was a [[Republic of Venice|Venetian]] [[philosopher]] of noble descent who in 1678 became [[List of women who obtained doctoral degrees before 1800|one of the first women]] to receive an [[academic degree]] from a university, and the first to receive a [[Doctor of Philosophy]] degree. In 1669, she translated the ''Colloquy of Christ'' by [[Carthusian]] monk [[Lanspergius]] from Spanish into Italian.
# [[Mary, Queen of Scots]] – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC), Mary was found guilty of plotting to assassinate [[Elizabeth I of England]] in 1586, and was beheaded the following year. 
# [[Bob Dylan]] – American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist. <div style="font-family:Caveat ;font-size: 25px;">'''" Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them."'''</div> 
# [[Elizabeth I of England]] – The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor who ushered in the [[Elizabethan Era]], reversed re-establishment of Roman Catholicism by her [[Mary I of England|half-sister]]. 
# [[Billy Ray Cyrus]] – Having released 12 studio albums and 44 singles since 1992, he is best known for his number one single "[[Achy Breaky Heart]]", which became the first single ever to achieve [[Australian Recording Industry Association|triple Platinum status]] in [[Australia]].

'''''When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships''''' is a 1999 book by [[Eric Ludy|Eric]] and [[Leslie Ludy]], an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, [[courtship]], and marriage. The authors advise [[Single person|single people]] not to be [[Physical intimacy|physically]] or [[Emotional intimacy|emotionally intimate]] with others, but to wait for the spouse that [[Will of God|God has planned]] for them. 

The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's [[Personal god#Christianity|relationship with God]]. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly [[Chastity|unchaste]] or [[Sexual abuse|sexually abused]] individuals.

== Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages – October 2019 ==

<em>[[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter/2019/October|Read this in another language]] • [[m:VisualEditor/Newsletter|Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter]]</em>

Inside this newsletter, the [[mw:Editing|Editing team]] talks about their work on the [[mw:Mobile visual editor|mobile visual editor]], on [[mw:Talk pages project|the new talk pages project]], and at [[wikimania:|Wikimania 2019]].      

=== Help ===
'''What talk page interactions do you remember?''' Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else?  Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!  

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page.  <mark>Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the '''[[mw:Topic:V8d91yh8gcg404dj|talk page for this project]]'''.</mark>  The team would value your examples.  These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

=== Talk Pages ===
The [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk Pages Consultation]] was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools.  The [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Phase 2 report|Phase 2 Report]] of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: [[mw:Talk pages project|Talk Page Project project page]]. 

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage.  They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the [[mw:Talk pages project#Getting involved|'''"Getting involved"''']] section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

=== Mobile visual editor ===
The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices.  The team is changing the [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile|visual editor on mobile]]. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at [[mw:Talk:VisualEditor on mobile|Talk:VisualEditor on mobile]].

==== [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards|Edit Cards]] ====
[[File:Edit Cards-before-v3-comparison.png|thumb|486x486px|What happens when you click on a link.  The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.]]

* On 3 September, the Editing team released [[:File:Edit Cards comparison v2 and v3.png|version 3 of Edit Cards]]. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
* There is an [[:File:Edit Cards comparison v2 and v3.png|updated design]] on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links.  There is also a new, [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards#2 September 2019 - v3 deployment timing|combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target]].
* Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the [[:mw:Topic:V5rg0cqmikpubmjj|Edit cards talk page]].

==== [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Toolbar refresh|Toolbar]] ====
[[File:Toolbar-comparison-v1.png|thumb|486x486px|The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor.  The old system had two different toolbars.  Now, all the buttons are together.  [[:mw:Topic:V79x6zm8n6i4nb56|Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar]].]]

* In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar.  Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
** <em>One toolbar:</em> All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar.  Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
**<em>New navigation:</em> The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
**<em>Seamless switching:</em> an [[phab:T228159|improved workflow]] for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
* Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the [[mw:Topic:V79x6zm8n6i4nb56|Toolbar feedback talk page]].

=== Wikimania ===
The Editing Team attended [[wmania:2019:Program|Wikimania 2019]] in Sweden. They led a session on [[wmania:2019:Community Growth/Visual editing on mobile: An accessible editor for all|the mobile visual editor]] and a session on [[wmania:2019:Community Growth/After Flow: A new direction for improving talk pages|the new talk pages project]].  They tested [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Toolbar refresh#v1 prototype|two]] new [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards#v3 prototype|features]] in the mobile visual editor with contributors.  You can read more about what the team did and learned in [[mw:VisualEditor on mobile#Wikimania Stockholm: Overview|the team's report on Wikimania 2019]].

=== Looking ahead ===

[[File:Sretenie.jpg|Сретение Господне ("The Meeting of the Lord"), a depiction of Simeon recognising Jesus at the Temple, from a fifteenth-century Novgorodskye School Russian icon.|right|205px]]
'''''A Song for Simeon''''', is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet [[T.&nbsp;S. Eliot]] (1888–1965). It is [[T. S. Eliot's Ariel poems|one of five poems]] that Eliot contributed to the ''[[Ariel poems (Faber)|Ariel poems]]'' series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by [[Faber and Faber|Faber and Gwyer]]. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by [[avant garde]] artist [[Edward McKnight Kauffer]]. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the {{lang|la|[[Nunc dimittis]]|italic=no}}, a liturgical prayer for [[Compline]] from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers [[Lancelot Andrewes]], [[Dante Alighieri]] and [[St. John of the Cross]]. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of [[anti-Semitism]] on Eliot's part.

[[File:TalkPages-Reply-v1.0.png|thumb|300px|alt=Screenshot showing what the Reply tool looks like|This early version of the Reply tool automatically signs and indents comments.]]

The [[mw:Editing|Editing team]] has been working on [[mw:Talk pages project|the talk pages project]].  The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.  This project is the result of the [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019|Talk pages consultation 2019]]. 

[[File:TalkPages-Reply-v2.0.png|thumb|300px|alt=Reply tool improved with edit tool buttons|In a future update, the team plans to test a tool for easily linking to another user's name, a rich-text editing option, and other tools.]]

The team is building a [[mw:Talk pages project/replying|new tool for replying]] to comments now.  This early version can sign and indent comments automatically.  <strong>Please [[mw:Talk pages project/replying/prototype testing#Reply%20version%201.0|test the new Reply tool]].</strong>  

*On 31 March 2020, the new {{Int:discussiontools-replylink}} tool was offered as a [[mw:Beta Feature|Beta Feature]] editors at four Wikipedias:  [[w:ar:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Arabic]], [[w:nl:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Dutch]], [[w:fr:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|French]], and [[w:hu:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|Hungarian]].  If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)]].
*The team is planning some upcoming changes.  <strong>Please [[mw:Talk pages project/replying#Version%202.0|review the proposed design]] and share your thoughts on the talk page.</strong>  The team will test features such as:
**an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"), 
**a rich-text visual editing option, and 
**other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.  

To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the [[mw:Talk pages project#Get involved|<strong>"Get involved"</strong>]] section of the project page.

==WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors==
Dear project member, 
This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness ([[MOS:ACCESS]]). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated. 

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are '''NOT''' making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Color RfC|project page]] for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC.
