Suggestion Request
Thanks for guiding me through the Wikipedia for granting the permission to use the my file Jubin nautiyal at promotions. As you told, i sent hte email for permission to OTRS nad have also received a ticket number for it. Please tell further, what to do of it, to make my image sustain at Wiki. Thanks....TrendSPLEND (talk) 09:51, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- @TrendSPLEND: You may receive back questions or concerns about the email. In this case you need to reply. I don't think there is anything else that needs to be done.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:54, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:Lorraine L. Foster-mathematician.jpg
Thanks for looking at my upload of File:Lorraine L. Foster-mathematician.jpg. I'll try to find a free equivalent photo for the article's subject identification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by West32 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome, @West32:. Although I'll admit, tagging other people's stuff for removal is not generally a fun thing to do, either for them or for me.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 22:06, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- I've deleted the image from the Wikipedia entry. Thanks again for your speedy attention and clear directions. West32 (talk) 22:09, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- @West32: Um, now that I noticed ... if that photography is licensed as CC-BY 4.04 as this page appears to claim, then it's actually a free image and doesn't need a non-free status. I'll see if I can upload this on Commons then.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 22:12, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Gee, that would be terrific, though I thought the CC-4.0 license didn't meet Wikipedia's free image requirement. It does seem that UCLA Library's copyright policy supports the intended Wikipedia use for "educational and research use." Thanks for looking into this; let me know if there's anything I should do to help West32 (talk) 22:26, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Koebner.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Koebner.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello, can you help me speedy delete an image I just uploaded in error?
Hi there, I noticed that from time to time you approve my image uploads. Thanks for your help. I was wondering if you could help me dispose of an image I just uploaded in error? I attached the wrong file to the upload and therefore the file shown is not the one that matches with the info. If you can make this go away I would greatly appreciate it as the one I uploaded is probably NOT in the public domain. Or if there is a way to delete the image and replace it with the appropriate one, that would also work, whatever is easiest (I can always upload the "right" one again). Edited to add, I forgot to tell you which image I am asking about. I am really batting 1000 today... (facepalm)...it's this one File:Chelsea Piers, NYC, circa 1920 (Post card).jpg Many thanks!! TheBlinkster (talk) 18:00, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, TheBlinkster. Which file is the problem child?Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:01, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- Put the name above just now...File:Chelsea Piers, NYC, circa 1920 (Post card).jpg thank you so much again. TheBlinkster (talk) 18:03, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- @TheBlinkster: My recommendation would be to add {{Db-g7}} to the file page and once it's deleted to reupload the correct file under that name.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:14, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I added it to the bad page. Thanks! I remembered there was a way to do this but couldn't remember how or if I was allowed to do it myself.

- On the Coropuna page, your edit caused a cite error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:20, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Recent changes
- Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
- The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
- The visual editor now follows the TemplateData
formatsetting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [14][15] - The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [16][17]
Changes this week
- On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [18]
- Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [19]
- Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [20]
Meetings
- Resigning executive director Lila Tretikov is taking questions at Knowledge Engine FAQ regarding the much talked about project. [21]
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

A tag has been placed on File:Winter Haven Florida 3.JPG, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Recent changes
- Files on Wikimedia Commons can now be 2 GB big. The old limit was 1 GB. [22]
- Welcome notifications now have a different symbol. English Wikipedia already had this one. [23]
- The Wikimedia memory cache servers in the Eqiad cluster have now been upgraded to Debian 8 (Jessie). Some users might have had to log in again because of this. [24]
- It is now easier to categorize images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in the Commons Android app. [25]
- Bare attributes in tags now parse according to the HTML5 specifications.
<pages from= to= section=1>will parse as<pages from="to=" section="1">instead of<pages from="" to="" section="1">as it used to. Please use<pages from="" to="" section=1>or<pages section=1>instead. This is mostly likely to affect pages on Wikisource projects. [26]
Problems
- Phabricator has been a bit unstable lately. This should be fixed now. [27]
- The PageView API shows wrong data between 23 February and 29 February for pages with special characters in their title. [28]
- The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [29]
- You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [30]
- Templates using TemplateData that were edited with the visual editor might have some problems in wikitext mode. This can be fixed by editing and saving the page by using the visual editor without making any changes. [31]
Changes this week
- Cross-wiki notifications will be enabled as a beta feature on all wikis on 10 March. You will be able to get notifications when something happens on another Wikimedia wiki. [32]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 March. It will be on all wikis from 10 March (calendar).
- Wikivoyages will get the Kartographer extension. Kartographer will allow
<mapframe>and<maplink>tags in an article to insert an interactive map and overlay it with different markers. You can add ideas and suggestions to the Maps talk page. If you find any bugs, you can report them in Phabricator. [33]
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- The buttons in interfaces will be simplified. Instead of white, red, green and blue buttons, in future there will only be white, red and blue ones. [34]
- The Wikimedia technical operations team plans to do some server work on 22 March. This could cause some problems, for example make it possible to read but not edit the Wikimedia wikis for a short period of time. The date for this might change. [35]
