TFA

Thank you today for Hanford Engineer Works, introduced: "This article was split from Hanford Site. During the FAR of Hanford Site, I decided to create a new article on the World War II establishment. This brings it into line with the articles on Los Alamos, Berkeley and Oak Ridge, all of which have subarticles on their role in the Manhattan Project. The sources complain about how Hanford has been overlooked compared with Los Alamos and Oak Ridge."! - On the same page: a Mozart opera, an article by many. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for your share in John Glenn, introduced (in 2018): "Six Distinguished Flying Crosses, eighteen Air Medals. First American to orbit the Earth. Four-time Ohio senator. Oldest person to fly in space. This article covers the good and the bad of his life."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:55, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-30

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Feature News

Stewards can now globally block accounts. Before the change only IP addresses and IP ranges could be blocked globally. Global account blocks are useful when the blocked user should not be logged out. Global locks (a similar tool logging the user out of their account) are unaffected by this change. The new global account block feature is related to the Temporary Accounts project, which is a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors that are no longer made public.
Later this week, Wikimedia site users will notice that the Interface of FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") is improved and consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface and Wikimedia's design system. The FlaggedRevs interface experience on mobile and Minerva skin was inconsistent before it was fixed and ported to Codex by the WMF Growth team and some volunteers. [1]
Wikimedia site users can now submit account vanishing requests via GlobalVanishRequest. This feature is used when a contributor wishes to stop editing forever. It helps you hide your past association and edit to protect your privacy. Once processed, the account will be locked and renamed. [2]
Have you tried monitoring and addressing vandalism in Wikipedia using your phone? A Diff blog post on Patrolling features in the Mobile App highlights some of the new capabilities of the feature, including swiping through a feed of recent changes and a personal library of user talk messages for use when patrolling from your phone.
Wikimedia contributors and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) organisations can now learn and measure the impact Wikimedia Commons is having towards creating quality encyclopedic content using the Commons Impact Metrics analytics dashboard. The dashboard offers organizations analytics on things like monthly edits in a category, the most viewed files, and which Wikimedia articles are using Commons images. As a result of these new data dumps, GLAM organisation can more reliably measure their return on investment for programs bringing content into the digital Commons. [3]

Project Updates

Come share your ideas for improving the wikis on the newly reopened Community Wishlist. The Community Wishlist is Wikimedia’s forum for volunteers to share ideas (called wishes) to improve how the wikis work. The new version of the wishlist is always open, works with both wikitext and Visual Editor, and allows wishes in any language.

Have you ever wondered how Wikimedia software works across over 300 languages? This is 253 languages more than the Google Chrome interface, and it's no accident. The Language and Product Localization Team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports your work by adapting all the tools and interfaces in the MediaWiki software so that contributors in our movement who translate pages and strings can translate them and have the sites in all languages. Read more about the team and their upcoming work on Diff.
How can Wikimedia build innovative and experimental products while maintaining such heavily used websites? A recent blog post by WMF staff Johan Jönsson highlights the work of the WMF Future Audience initiative, where the goal is not to build polished products but test out new ideas, such as a ChatGPT plugin and Add a Fact, to help take Wikimedia into the future.

Operation Crossroads

Hello! I have a question about the table with sunken ships during the Baker test (Operation_Crossroads#Baker_target_array).

1) I didn't find in the book (Delgado, James P. (1991), The Archeology of the Atomic Bomb: A Submerged Cultural Resources Assessment of the Sunken Fleet of Operation Crossroads at Bikini and Kwajalein Atoll Lagoons) the distances from the ships to point zero for the Baker test (only for the Able test).

2) According to the attached map, the distance from USS Arkansas to point zero is closer to 300 yards than the 170 yards indicated in the table.

3) I found a report (https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD0367496.pdf) on the Baker test and in it (page 280) some distances coincide with the table, and some do not (in particular, for Arkansas a distance of 259 yards is given).

Because I don’t understand where the numbers in the table come from, I can’t tell if they are correct or wrong. Could you help? Karavadgoo (talk) 20:55, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Footnote 68 says: "Data in the table and the map come from Delgado (1991). The Able map is on p. 16, the Baker map on p. 17, and ship damage and distances on pp. 86–87." Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delgado is available for download from Commons. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I downloaded Delgado. But on the indicated pages (pp. 87 - 90 actually) I found data only on distances for test Able, but not Baker.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/The_Archeology_of_the_Atomic_Bomb%2C_National_Park_Service%2C_Santa_Fe%2C_New_Mexico%2C_1991_by_Delgado%2C_James_P.%2C_et_al._-_NNPS_903_D160_-38840-pg0000.pdf Karavadgoo (talk) 06:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I almost figured out the issue. The link to Delgado appeared in 2008 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation_Crossroads&oldid=253024309). And the original comment was: "Data in the table and the map come from Delgado, Archeology of the Atomic Bomb. The Able map is on p 16, the Baker map on p 17, and ship damage and distances on pp 86-136. The full text of this reference is posted on the Internet (see external links below) with the unfortunate omission of the key to ship numbers in the array maps, rendering the maps useless without access to the book in hard copy."

Indeed, pages 86 - 136 describe individual ships in detail. And sometimes the distances from point 0 at the moment of explosion are indicated for them (and sometimes only the distance from point 0 to their resting place). But, for example, for the USS Arkansas, I never found the required distance (170 yards from article table) on these pages (only 170 feet from the surface of the water at the place of sinking). I propose replacing the distances in the table of the article with distances taken from the report (https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD0367496.pdf pp. 280-281), which most likely was the primary source for Delgado Karavadgoo (talk) 06:45, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, it’s more pleasant to use the Delgado's book at another link: https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/swcrc/37/chap4.htm Karavadgoo (talk) 06:50, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Galileo project

Hi Hawkeye. I am looking for a late replacement TFA for 29 August. Would you have any problems with that being Galileo project. If not, do you fancy having a go at the blurb or are you content with my having a thumb fingered attempt? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a blurb. I will be in Paris on that date, so you will need to watch the article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, after some horse trading between the coordinators this will now run in October instead. I am trying to get it scheduled for 18 October to mark the 35th anniversary of it being delivered into Earth orbit, but no promises. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. That would be a fine date, and I will be back by then. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:44, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about the impacts of a WP:RENAME on templates

Hey Hawkeye7, I hope you don't mind my asking here as you seem pretty experienced in managing templates, in addition to being well versed in the backend of DYK and GAN.

I've recently completed a RENAME and I was curious how that would impact some of the records of the templates. Specifically, a DYK you've recently reviewed but is not yet closed, as well as an outstanding GAN that is yet to be started that has my former name on the the GAN page as well as the template on the article's talk page.

Specifically, my concerns with the DYK records are that the template maintains attribution in regard to the requirements for reviewing. I've only nominated one and haven't reviewed any so the impact there should be minimal.

And then in regard to the GAN, the review hasn't started but I believe the template has mechanisms to notify the nominator and maintain a record with wmtools as well? This, I'm even less sure about the impact. My assumption would be that I could replace the name in the templates, but I didn't want to (1) break anything or (2) miss something and then break something that is harder to track down and fix (see number 1).

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, or if you could point me in the right direction

Thanks, Bobby Cohn (talk), formerly MicrobiologyMarcus (talk).

Bobby Cohn (talk) 13:19, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The template does not notify the nominator; this is done by a bot.

For the DYK, edit the nomination template to change the {{DYKmake}} card to reflect your new name. When the nomination is transferred to the prep area, the prep area builder will cut and paste this template. It gets picked up by a bot that will notify you. You can change it yourself until it reaches the queue; then you will need an admin to make the change for you.
I am unsure as to whether simply changing the name on the GA nominations page will work or not; ask on the Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations. The notification is done by a bot, and it keeps a database.

Regards

Question about MOS:MILHIST

Hi Hawkeye,

A certain user is claiming that MOS:MILHIST does not allow for mentioning Treaties in a bullet point in the Result section of the infobox of War and Battle articles. This user has been deleting these treaties out of the infoboxes of multiple articles. This user also claims that MOS:MILHIST does not allow for the duration of the war to be stated in parenthesis after the dates that the war lasted from. For example if the Date section originally said "8 February 1904 – 5 September 1905 (1 year, 6 months and 4 weeks)" he will delete it to "8 February 1904 – 5 September 1905" and claim that MOS:MILHIST does not allow for the parathesis containing the duration of time.
Please let me know if this is truely following MOS:MILHIST and that this user is doing the right thing.
Thanks, Alexysun (talk) 03:04, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not aware of any such stricture. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Therefore, based on the information I have provided at least, is it accurate to conclude that this user has an inaccurate understanding of MOS:MILHIST? Alexysun (talk) 22:32, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for clarification on adding to WPMH FA list

Hi Hawkeye7, I was confused about an issue I hoped you could help out with. I was wondering if the Chalukya dynasty, Western Chalukya Empire and Western Ganga dynasty articles could be added to the WPMH FA list. I know more milhist could be added to these articles and I will surely do so. Wdyt? Thanks in advance Matarisvan (talk) 17:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Normally the bot adds articles but it does not know when you add one to the project. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that! Also, do you think the FAs Cadaver Tomb of René of Chalon and Tomb of Philippe Pot fall within the WPMH mandate, particularly the memorials task force? Both died in battle so I think they might. Thanks in advance. Matarisvan (talk) 18:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frederic B. Butler

I have assessed B for military history and biography. The high points of his career are noted in the lede. I have asked for a slightly longer lede for B if the article is of some length in some cases. This is about all I can see at first glance that a GA assessor might want but some assessors might add other comments, as you know. I have added

in the article Frederick Butler. There is another such tag in the Frederick Butler article. Donner60 (talk) 01:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-31

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Feature news

Editors using the Visual Editor in languages that use non-Latin characters for numbers, such as Hindi, Manipuri and Eastern Arabic, may notice some changes in the formatting of reference numbers. This is a side effect of preparing a new sub-referencing feature, and will also allow fixing some general numbering issues in Visual Editor. If you notice any related problems on your wiki, please share details at the project talkpage.

Bugs status

Some logged-in editors were briefly unable to edit or load pages last week. These errors were mainly due to the addition of new linter rules which led to caching problems. Fixes have been applied and investigations are continuing.
Editors can use the IP Information tool to get information about IP addresses. This tool is available as a Beta Feature in your preferences. The tool was not available for a few days last week, but is now working again. Thank you to Shizhao for filing the bug report. You can read about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Project updates

There are new features and improvements to Phabricator from the Release Engineering and Collaboration Services teams, and some volunteers, including: the search systems, the new task creation system, the login systems, the translation setup which has resulted in support for more languages (thanks to Pppery), and fixes for many edge-case errors. You can read details about these and other improvements in this summary.
There is an update on the Charts project. The team has decided which visualization library to use, which chart types to start focusing on, and where to store chart definitions.

Tech News: 2024-32

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Feature news

Two new parser functions will be available this week: {{#dir}} and {{#bcp47}}. These will reduce the need for Template:Dir and Template:BCP47 on Commons and allow us to drop 100 million rows from the "what links here" database. Editors at any wiki that use these templates, can help by replacing the templates with these new functions. The templates at Commons will be updated during the Hackathon at Wikimania. [5][6]
Communities can request the activation of the visual editor on entire namespaces where discussions sometimes happen (for instance Wikipedia: or Wikisource: namespaces) if they understand the known limitations. For discussions, users can already use DiscussionTools in these namespaces.
The tracking category "Pages using Timeline" has been renamed to "Pages using the EasyTimeline extension" in TranslateWiki. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.

Project updates

Editors who help to organize WikiProjects and similar on-wiki collaborations, are invited to share ideas and examples of successful collaborations with the Campaigns and Programs teams. You can fill out a brief survey or share your thoughts on the talkpage. The teams are particularly looking for details about successful collaborations on non-English wikis.
The new parser is being rolled out on Wikivoyage wikis over the next few months. The English Wikivoyage and Hebrew Wikivoyage were switched to Parsoid last week. For more information, see Parsoid/Parser Unification.
