Misplaced message

Hello,

Someone seems to be trying to talk to you on Meta here. Who knows whether they would ever see any reply you left there, but I thought it was worth bringing to your attention.

Incidentally, please consider yourself invited to join the Ten Year Society.  — Scott • talk 14:48, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@Scott: Thanks for the link... :) JMHamo (talk) 15:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Toledo United FC

I don't quite understand why it's not considered significant, it's in the Great Lakes Premier League and most other teams in that league have a Wikipedia page. It says it doesn't "credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject", I linked to the official website. If you could send me the content of the deleted page and also let me know what additional info would make it more "significant" I would appreciate it. Thanks! Cjrobe (talk) 15:39, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

@Cjrobe: See WP:FOOTYN for the relevant club notability guideline. JMHamo (talk) 14:43, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo: Unless I'm misunderstanding that, it says a club has to have played in the US Open Cup to be considered notable? That doesn't seem to be the notability guideline that is generally used for American soccer teams though - I can find dozens of teams that have not played in the Open Cup - AFC Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids FC, Oakland United FC, Spartans Futbol Club, Real San Jose, San Francisco Stompers FC, etc. What makes those teams notable but not Toledo United FC? Cjrobe (talk) 19:18, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo: If you have a second, could you please respond. Thanks! Cjrobe (talk) 19:04, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

@Cjrobe: Sorry about the delay, I am seeking advice from members of the Wikipedia Soccer project on this... JMHamo (talk) 15:27, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo: No problem, thanks for looking into this! I don't want to create another page that gets deleted the second I finish it :). Cjrobe (talk) 13:58, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@Cjrobe: The consensus seems to be Toledo United FC does not meet notability standards. The other soccer teams you mentioned above have been nominated for deletion and it's looking likely that they will be deleted too. Sorry about that. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 16:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo: Ok, thanks for the response. Consistency is good either way!

VisualEditor News #5—2015

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Did you know?

You can use the visual editor on smartphones and tablets.

Click the pencil icon to open the editor for a page. Inside that, use the gear menu in the upper right corner to "Switch to visual editing".

The editing button will remember which editing environment you used last time, and give you the same one next time. The desktop site will be switching to a system similar to this one in the coming months.

You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.

Recent improvements

Educational features: The first time you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Link and ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽ tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.

Links:  It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558)  These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.

Uploads:  Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Insert Images and media" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.

Mobile:  Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use the visual editor on any size of device. (T85630)  Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Delete" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.

Rich editing tools:  You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925)  There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227 and T113354)  When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.

On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.

Future changes

You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

Let's work together

• Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback. This feedback page uses Flow for discussions.
• Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer 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 (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).
• Local admins can set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki. If you need help, then please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
• The weekly task triage meetings are open to volunteers. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration, though. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the main VisualEditor project with the bug.

  • Draft:100 years of women in transport (100 YOWIT) campaign (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I think my article is supported by several realiable sources, including London Government official pages, Crossrail, Transport for London, companies such as Siemens, Bechtel and Thales Group, institutions such as the London Transport Museum, Women in Engineering Society and Imperial College, and newspapers such as The Guardian. Can you please let me know why you do not consider these as realiable sources?

100 years of women in transport

Hi,

The campaign is a celebration of the role that women have played in the transport industry as a whole. However, the number of women that entered the transport industry - 100,000 is the number of the UK. Could we agree on this so I can edit it back and place "United Kingdom" in the right place? At the moment, after you edited it, it says:

The 100 Years of women in transport campaign (or YOWIT) is a celebration of the significant role that women have played in the transport industry over the past 100 years in the United Kingdom, following the centennial anniversary of the First World War, when 100,000 women entered the Transport industry to take on the responsibilities held by men who enlisted for military service.

My suggestion is:

The 100 Years of women in transport campaign (or YOWIT) is a celebration of the significant role that women have played in the transport industry over the past 100 years, following the centennial anniversary of the First World War, when 100,000 women entered the United Kingdom's transport industry to take on the responsibilities held by men who enlisted for military service.

What do you think? AnaAnaFerreira (talk) 15:03, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

@AnaFerreira: It needs to be clear this is UK only as Wikipedia is read by people from all over the world. Also, please read WP:COI as I think you might be editing "in your own interests or in the interests of your external relationships". JMHamo (talk) 15:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Alan Curbishley

This, in the grand scheme of things, is a minor thing, but it's worth querying nonetheless: Mike Rigg has said that Fulham's new manager will be in place before their next game (21 Nov 2015, MKD (A)), and therefore is it worth mentioning in the 2015–16 Fulham F.C. season article that Alan Curbishley has stepped in in the interim, seeing as he won't be in charge for a competitive match? On the other hand, the infobox would say (for example):

Manager: Kit Symons
(until 8 November 2015)
René Meulensteen
(from 15 November 2015)

As a result, I wonder if this would cause people to wonder who managed the club between Symons leaving and the new manager joining (I've used Meulensteen as an example)? Should Curbishley be mentioned or not? Spa-Franks (talk) 00:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@Spa-Franks: List who was manager for the the MK Dons match or if an announcement is made before the 21 Nov. then the date of the appointment, not who looked after training before then. JMHamo (talk) 00:24, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, Curbishley has not been given an interim job, so I don't know where you read that. He just said the Fulham manager's job was attractive JMHamo (talk) 00:32, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo: Whilst there was nothing official from the club, more than one secondary source has said Curbishley is currently taking training: Sky Sports and Mail Online, for example. To further complicate things, Fulham played a friendly game today.... Spa-Franks (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@Spa-Franks: The same BBC article I linked above says "First-team coaches Mark Pembridge and Sean Reed are currently supervising training as chief football officer Mike Rigg conducts the search for a new manager.", so until there is something official I would make no change. JMHamo (talk) 18:44, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, "Sky sources understand" is unsubstantiated rumour and nothing reliable... JMHamo (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Help needed

Hello JMHamo, hope all is well. Unfortunately I don't think i'm built for this, making wiki pages is a bit confusing..it keeps getting patrolled because I'm not good at making pages. How do I request an autobiography? Or could you possibly do one? Thanks in advance! My user is @Fabianneely

@Fabianneely: Have a read of WP:Autobiography, which should answer your questions but please note the first sentence "Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged". Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 14:11, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Connected contributor

Hi. I've removed the connected contributor tag at the Sean Lynch, because he's never so much as changed a word. All his edits have been various attempts to add deletion tags, to remove the article. He hasn't actually contributed to the article in any sense. Please see my comment at Talk:Sean Lynch (footballer). thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:11, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

@Shawn in Montreal: That's fair enough. Thanks for the note. JMHamo (talk) 23:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Re: Egon Terzetta article

Hi, you can delete the article I wrote yesterday. I misspelled his name and have to rewrite it anyway. I will make the needed links with other articles as well. Regards O. Kalinov — Preceding unsigned comment added by Okalinov (talk • contribs) 07:23, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your message! I already left a question on the Teahouse about how to avoid the speedy deletion of my article, in the meanwhile I will read the links you sent me. Thank you once again. PedroLopFonMarAlves (talk) 16:29, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

R

Hi again, I can't write the auto biography myself because I'm not as advanced as many of the writers on here...How do I request for it to be done? (Even when I put request it, the persons name gets deleted the next day in the request actors page) What do I do to correctly request it without his name being removed? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabianneely (talk • contribs) 19:43, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Fabianneely: As I've said already, creating an autobiography on Wikipedia is discouraged. See WP:Autobiography for more information. Also, please read WP:Conflict of Interest and paid contributions without disclosure if you are being paid by someone to create an article. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 20:12, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo: Um, no i'm not being paid by anyone to write an autobiography. And I get that it's discouraged but it's still being done and there are many autobiographies being created for actors and I wanted to be the first one to create one for this actor but I'm not as advanced on wikipedia as others are, too many codes that I don't understand and the page doesn't look professional. I've already read conflict of interest..and as stated before I'm not being paid to write the autobiography. Where do I go to request for someone to write it?

@Fabianneely:You can go here WP:Requested articles JMHamo (talk) 01:32, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Article deletion thank you

Thank you JMHamo for your message about My draft article, Draft:Draft article on Peter Nicol Russell memorial.

Hello,

How are you?

I just saw that a page that I edited a few months ago was deleted - Jacob Biderman. I would really appreciate it if it can be restored so I can continue and edit the content.

Thank you very much,

Speedy Deletion

Hello, I've noticed you put a speedy deletion tag on User:Smoore603976/sandbox and I've removed it because although the page isn't useful whatsoever, it is a user's sandbox. Regards, Dat GuyWiki (talk) 23:48, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dat GuyWiki: You were wrong to do that, it's going through the MfD process here Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Smoore603976/sandbox. JMHamo (talk) 23:52, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

@JMHamo:My mistake, thought it was a Wikipedia:Speedy Deletion tag, then it should have been removed. Carry on. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 23:59, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

My editor left

Both of my editors MatthewVanitas and Flatout seemed to have left wiki, and I saw you were answering questions on their talk pages. Would you possibly be able to help me with my own page or help me figure out how to be assigned a new editor?

Thanks!
