Re: Ijele - The Traveler
I'm still working on the article to get it to standard. Thanks for the review

This (The X-Files) tagging as CSD A1
I've declined the speedy deletion tagged you placed on this article. It's clear from the article as it exists that this is an X Files episode. Also, I've confirmed through sources independent of Wikipedia that this episode is real. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:42, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Ernst Schering Foundation
Hey Babymissfortune, thank you for your comments regarding the Ernst Schering Foundation. I fully agree with the issue regarding missing references, I had put a note on this in the talk page of the article - the article is a translation from the German equivalent. I am afraid I lack the references, but the content sounded reliable and is not really controversial, so I think with the notice that the article currently lacks references to neutral sources, it might attract others to provide them.
Regarding the general notability, the foundation was endowed very generously be European standards and the science prize it awards is among the more prestigious in Germany; also, a list of awardees already existed on the English wikipedia, so I think it is justified to explain the underlying art and science foundation with its own article. I hope you will agree and that the article won't end up getting deleted. Thank you! Biophil23 (talk) 08:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- On Wikidata, the "save" button when you edit is now called "publish". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Save page" to "Publish changes". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [1][2]
- Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [3]
- Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [4]
- Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [5][6]
Problems
- Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [7]
- With the new filters in the recent changes, "Exclude selected" in "Namespaces" did not work for "Saved filters" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [8]
- The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see
#R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9
instead of#Résumé
even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [9] - Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
- Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [11]
- The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [12][13]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
- WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one:
ext.wikiEditor
. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [14]
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Reverts
Hi. I saw your numerous reverts to my removal of redlinks. Per WP:AFD/AI#Carrying out the AfD close, if it is found that an article subject is not notable, redlinks are removed in most cases. Your summary of "link needed" or "still playing" is not an explanation for reverting since the content is not being deleted, only the link. Killiondude (talk) 17:16, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Killiondude: Yes I know that. But in most of the articles where you removed the link, redlinks are still needed/in practice. If you would scan the basketball teams, all players have wikilinks whether they have an article or not. The links are most important in the templates, to be able to distinguish which player is which. When you removed the link, all that remain is the surname. And people who will be able to see the template might say "who is this Caperal guy?" So yes, sometimes redlinks are still needed. If you really want to remove the link, you maybe should just remove the players' names as well, not just the link, so as to be consistent with the rest of the article.

Speedy deletion contested: Voice FM 103.9
Hello Babymissfortune. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Voice FM 103.9, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion Contested
Hi, I have contested the deletion of both my pages as I feel they both have a right to be on Wikipedia. The reason you have given of "not important enough to be on an encyclopedia" is invalid as he is a Radio Presenter. If you delete the page using this reason, you may as well delete all presenters.
I ask you kindly to remove deletion tags off both Joshua Dodd and Voice FM as they are clearly within the rules. Bigbrojd (talk) 14:58, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Bigbrojd: I am not the one who deletes pages. I am just someone files them for deletion. Just wait for an admin to respond. Thanks. Babymissfortune 15:03, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Sudeshna Swayamprabha
Hello Babymissfortune. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Sudeshna Swayamprabha, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims coverage in reliable sources. Thank you. Sam Sailor 09:41, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- With a bylined article in The Daily Star featuring subject, we are well passed a lack of CCS. Please be careful. Sam Sailor 09:44, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for reviewing the page I created. The article has been nominated for deletion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adam Dixon (hydroponics) due to lack of notability. I can see that you have some experience on this and wonder if you might want to contribute your opinion on the matter (with some urgency). Many thanks for your time.

Stub sorting
You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS. |
Hello Babymissfortune,
I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{stub}}
template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.
If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks!-- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 07:20, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, you reviewed my article, thank you very much. Please see someone wants to delete in :( please tell them he is notable because you reviewed it after seeing something positive. Looking forward Romeo2259 (talk) 09:00, 21 January 2018 (UTC) Romeo2259 (talk) 09:00, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Romeo2259: "... he is notable because you reviewed it after seeing something positive. ..." — that is not true. Not because I reviewed it, I have sen something positive on the page. If you really think he is notable, post a message on the AfD of the page. Babymissfortune 09:06, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
I did that already, I would really appreciate if you say the same there and at least tell them it should be kept. I can update the article time to time to add more stuff.Romeo2259 (talk) 23:40, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

NPP backlog drive
Any chance you could give me a rough estimate for what the ratio of redirects to articles was for your reviews during the recent NPP backlog drive? I am trying to work out who did the most 'article' reviews (which will be a separate award to the top reviewers cup and the runner up cup). If you could let me know, that would be great. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 07:15, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Insertcleverphrasehere: Sorry for the very late reply. I was busy at school and I had no time to review my patrol log to at least give an estimate. But as you have stated already at Talk:NPR, the bar set is about 1800 articles and I am very sure that I did not review that number of articles (I'm confident I reached at least a thousand though).

Recent changes
- Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [26]
- The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [27]
- Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [28]
Problems
- Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [29]
Changes later this week
- When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [30]
- When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like
gallery widths="150px"
. You could useem
or%
instead ofpx
but it would make no difference. You can now only use150px
or nothing (150
). If you write something else, instead of treating it likepx
, it will not work. [31] - The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of
Yes
orNo
it will sayThank
andCancel
. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [32] - Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [33]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
- We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
New Year Backlog Drive results:
- We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!
General project update:
- ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
- Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Recent changes
- TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [36][37][38]
- Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.
Changes later this week
- You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [39]
- The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like
{{reflist}}
, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [40] - The abuse filter extension has a new feature
contains_all
that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [41] - The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).
