User talk:Cassiopeia

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Question from Altberry65 (23:25, 14 May 2024)[edit]

I just finished edited a new page .How long does it usually take to hear if its acceptable for Wikipedia? --Altberry65 (talk) 23:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Altberry65, Good day and thank you for the question. I believe the new page you mentioned above is Draft:Al Berry. May I know are you Al Berry and if not what is the relation you have with Al Berry? Cassiopeia talk 23:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am Al Berry Altberry65 (talk) 23:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Altberry6, Thank you for the quick reply. First of all, for a subject to have a page/article in Wikipedia, the subject need to pass/meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO criteria. This means the subject needs to have significant coverage by independent, reliable sources, such as from the major newspapers or books, (all social medias, official websites are considered not reliable or independent and Wikipedia can NOT be the source) whereby the subject is talk about in length and in depth and not passing mentioned. Your draft page does not meet the criteria to have a page in Wikipedia at the moment. Secondly, you have conflict of interest to write the article since you are the subject yourself. Finally, the content of the any article in Wikipedia needs to meet neutral point of view and not promote the subject which is a huge violation of Wikipedia guidelines as Wikipedia is an encolpia and not a social platform. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 00:09, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Payton Talbott[edit]

Hi, why isn't Payton Talbott notable yet? He already had one bout in the DWCS, two fights in the UFC and the third one is coming next. Have I misunderstood the notability criteria? AideDésintéressée (talk) 00:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AideDésintéressée Good day. DWCS is not considered a UFC event. - see WP:NMMA guidlines. Have a good day and stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 00:30, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-21[edit]

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

The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1]
New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2][3]

Changes later this week

The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar). [4][5]
The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

Blogs
- Wikidata to split as sheer volume of information overloads infrastructure, by Bluerasberry. "The split will create a WikiCite graph separate from the main Wikidata graph. The main Wikidata graph will retain content of broader interest, including items for authors, journals, publishers, and anything with a page in a Wikimedia project."
- Learnings from AI and Heritage inclusive Metadata requires more than erasing stereotyping terms - this article explores the presence of contentious terms in Wikidata labels.
- Reconciling Shira: Wikibase Cloud and OpenRefine - as part of the Shira project to document and digitise Penn University's Jewish music collections, the author gives a step-by-step process on installing OpenRefine for Wikibase Cloud instances.
Papers
- Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".
- Using Open Data to Automatically Generate Localized Analogies. Numerical analogies that translate unfamiliar measurements into familiar reference objects (e.g., “275k sq miles is roughly as large as Texas”). By "Sofia Eleni Spatharioti, Daniel G. Goldstein, Jake M. Hofman"
Videos
- ¿Cómo contribuir masivamente a Wikidata con OpenRefine? (Spanish) - As part of the Coordinate Me Campaign, this is a review of the OpenRefine tool for contributing large sets of data to Wikidata.
- Patrimoine spolié : le projet ProvEnhance (French) - A seminae on the looted heritage project on the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium. At timestamp: 55:02 onwards, Wikibase is discussed as a platform to host the Looted Heritage and Provenance research project.
