 Some general observations on Wikipedia governance being broken and good editors trampled by the system 
Current RfAdminship
history of the poles in the united stateshow can I get this article in Polish? Is there a comparable one already? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pola.mola (talk • contribs) 11:04, April 16, 2015 (UTC) skwereshi Piotrus, he meets following criteria: 1 sources - articles about him and reviews of his pieces appear on major austrian websites for music, german newspapers and austrian state tv website. his work was subject of radio broadcasts in different countries. 2 was commissioned to write major orchestral works for theatres and concert halls run by german, swiss or austrian state (f.i. only other polish composer who received commission by the viennese concert hall was - as far as i know - penderecki) 3 has won several competitions not established for newcomers it is also in my opinion notable, that his work is regularly performed worldwide. his music has been performed in more then 20 countries on all continents (except of the antarctica), which is exceptional under polish musicians born in the 80s (but also earlier). by the way, you can find a number of articles of polish musicians on wiki, which - imo - don't meet the criteria and/or have no references from reliable sources. and there is no {notable?} entry or discussion about this topic. greetings, ute73 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ute73 (talk • contribs) 07:12, April 17, 2015 (UTC) Barnstar related questionHello, I am a graphic designer and I create various Barnstars for Wikipedia which are not yet made by any one else (some are here below)-
But the problem is that these are 2.0 version thus they are not listed on Barnstars list. I mean I am not saying that mine is the best and should be listed, just asking if they should be added to the list or something other than the 2.0 version guidelines should be followed and then it could be added to the list? By that I mean the {{subst:The X Barnstar|message}}
I do not know how to create this and should I or not? Thank You! You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!

Your GA nomination of Janusz ZajdelThe article Janusz Zajdel you nominated as a good article has passed VisualEditor News #4—2015Read this in another language • Local subscription list • Subscribe to the multilingual edition  You can add quotations marks before and after a title or phrase with a single click.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team have been working on mobile phone support. They have fixed many bugs and improved language support. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving language support and functionality on mobile devices. WikimaniaThe team attended Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City. There they participated in the Hackathon and met with individuals and groups of users. They also made several presentations about VisualEditor and the future of editing. Following Wikimania, we announced winners for the VisualEditor 2015 Translathon. Our thanks and congratulations to users Halan-tul, Renessaince, जनक राज भट्ट (Janak Bhatta), Vahe Gharakhanyan, Warrakkk, and Eduardogobi. For interface messages (translated at translatewiki.net), we saw the initiative affecting 42 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 56.5% before the translathon, and 78.2% after (+21.7%). In particular, Sakha improved from 12.2% to 94.2%; Brazilian Portuguese went from 50.6% to 100%; Taraškievica went from 44.9% to 85.3%; Doteli went from 1.3% to 41.2%. Also, while 1.7% of the messages were outdated across all languages before the translathon, the percentage dropped to 0.8% afterwards (-0.9%). For documentation messages (on mediawiki.org), we saw the initiative affecting 24 languages. The average progress in translations across all languages was 26.6% before translathon, and 46.9% after (+20.3%). There were particularly notable achievements for three languages. Armenian improved from 1% to 99%; Swedish, from 21% to 99%, and Brazilian Portuguese, from 34% to 83%. Outdated translations across all languages were reduced from 8.4% before translathon to 4.8% afterwards (-3.6%). We published some graphs showing the effect of the event on the Translathon page. Recent improvementsAuto-fill features for citations can be enabled on each Wikipedia. The tool uses the citoid service to convert a URL or DOI into a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. You can see an animated GIF of the quick, simple process at mediawiki.org. So far, about a dozen Wikipedias have enabled the auto-citation tool. To enable it for your wiki, follow the instructions at mediawiki.org. Your wiki can customize the first section of the special character inserter in VisualEditor. Please follow the instructions at mediawiki.org to put the characters you want at the top. In other changes, if you need to fill in a CAPTCHA and get it wrong, then you can click to get a new one to complete. VisualEditor can now display and edit Vega-based graphs. If you use the Monobook skin, VisualEditor's appearance is now more consistent with other software. Future changesThe team will be changing the appearance of selected links inside VisualEditor. The purpose is to make it easy to see whether your cursor is inside or outside the link. When you select a link, the link label (the words shown on the page) will be enclosed in a faint box. If you place your cursor inside the box, then your changes to the link label will be part of the link. If you place your cursor outside the box, then it will not. This will make it easy to know when new characters will be added to the link and when they will not. On the English Wikipedia, 10% of newly created accounts are now offered both the visual and the wikitext editors. A recent controlled trial showed no significant difference in survival or productivity for new users in the short term. New users with access to VisualEditor were very slightly less likely to produce results that needed reverting. You can learn more about this by watching a video of the July 2015 Wikimedia Research Showcase. The proportion of new accounts with access to both editing environments will be gradually increased over time. Eventually all new users have the choice between the two editing environments. Let's work together
