Block on Incubator

Hello. I'm still asking you to unblock me on the Incubator. I and User:ValtteriLahti12 have already explained why we are not meatpuppets and you just ingnored us, didn't unblock me and didn't and did not restore Kamassian wiki Incubator. User:ValtteriLahti12 made the wiki before i joined the facebook group, go check his talkpage as a proof. He did not call him me make the wiki, there is no meatpuppeting. Your actions are absolutely not justified and just false. So, I am asking you to unblock me again. --7elteven (talk) 17:58, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

(Comment to 7elteven) I didn't break a rule with the second wiki, as you made it without me knowing, I did break rules before (sockpuppeting) as I started wikipedia a bit too young (if I remember around 15) and I also used self-made sources and used selfpromo (though I stopped it) --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 18:26, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Update on approval of gungbe Wikipedia (Wp/guw) and request for approval of gungbe Wiktionary (Wt/guw)

Hello MF-Warburg, I am reaching out to you as we are in the dark on what next is to be done to have our Wikipedia subdomain. I have reached out to Amire80 and Jon Harald but no response. We now have a newly recognized user group and I would like to provide a feedback in our next meeting. Please also look into the approval of our gungbe Wiktionary. Your response would be highly appreciated. Thanks.--Samatics (talk) 20:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I will look into it. Please ping me again if you haven't heard from me again in one week. --MF-W 01:09, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi MF-Warburg, Please is there any update on both request? Thanks.--Samatics (talk) 07:12, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

@ MF-Warburg, It's more than a week since you said I should ping you.--Samatics (talk) 10:22, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

User:Samatics: sorry for the permanent delays. There should be an update in the next days now. -- MF-W 16:21, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Ist die Bezeichnung so üblich? Kenne von der deutschen Wikipedia nur "Sichter". ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:23, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Ich glaube, "üblich" ist gar nichts, weil normalerweise niemand auf Deutsch über diese Gruppe spricht :P Aber das ist die Übersetzung in MediaWiki selbst: translatewiki:MediaWiki:Group-patroller-member/de, die mir auch mit deutscher Benutzeroberfläche angezeigt wird. Sichter sind ja etwas anderes, nämlich translatewiki:MediaWiki:Group-editor-member (en: editor, de: Sichter). --MF-W 21:54, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Bots

Huhu. What do you think about Meta:Babel § Meta:Bots? Xaosflux and myself have commented (and I'm the author of both texts) so I don't think I should be handling the discussion :-) Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:16, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

That's a pretty clear consensus, so I did it and marked it as done. Best regards! --MF-W 12:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Approval of Assamese Wikiquote

Hello, I have left a message here regarding the approval of Assamese Wikiquote project. Could you please look into the matter? ---chanakyakdas (talk) 05:49, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm looking into it. --MF-W 01:31, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Is there any update on the approval? --chanakyakdas (talk) 18:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I have reviewed the activity of the test-wiki and a good amount of the articles. The activity is good, however, most of the articles are very short, containing only one quote (sometimes even none). I have compared this to other (existing) Wikiquotes where this doesn't seem to be the case. Therefore, I think it cannot be approved in the current state. I would ask you and other community members to focus on improving the quality of the articles. -- MF-W 00:26, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestion. We will surely focus on improving the quality. দিব্য দত্ত (talk) 04:58, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Your reverts to my edits on Incubator

I noticed that when you reverted my edits on Incubator, you forgot to explain why you reverted my edits. Faster than Thunder (talk) 00:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Bitte löschen sie nicht meine edits

Hallo, ich habe gesehen, dass sie meine edits gelöscht haben. Ich fühle mich als ein Rassismus Opfer und ich bitte an sie, bitte hören sie damit auf. Ich weiß, sie denken, ich bin neuer Benutzer der nicht viel Ahnung hat und einfach unnötige edits mach. Kann sein, ist ihre Meinung, aber mein edits löschen, ist schon übertrieben. Ich sage meine Meinung, wie die alle anderen und diskutiere, wenn sie ein Problem haben könnten sie mich anpinnen und darüber reden, ob ich meine edit zurück ziehen soll oder nicht. Das ich paar Tage nicht online in den Sprachen war, die ich Anfrage gemacht hab, heißt nicht, dass ich die nicht mehr unterstützte. Ich bitte sie, damit aufzuhören. Vielen Dank --TayfunEt. (talk) 17:50, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

You hadn't even made 10 edits to Wp/nog on Incubator yet and were already requesting numerous new namespaces to be added to the eventual wiki, for whatever reason. You created a request for Chagatai, an extinct language; one for Balkan Gagauz Turkish; one for Dungan, a Chinese language. If you are not speaking all of these languages, what were you doing? If you do, I apologize, but please consider: You removed my message on your talk page which said that you should only create requests for languages you do speak, so I understood that to mean that you don't speak these languages. We receive many requests for new languages which are not backed by any actual speakers (often created by long-term abusers, who also use Google Translate to create "articles"), and I try to get rid of them so that they don't deter actual speakers. --MF-W 00:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

They messaged you in German, so why not reply in German instead? Faster than Thunder (talk) 03:01, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

To me this is a continuation of the discussion I started in English at [1]. The sad truth is that it is much easier for me to write about Langcom-related things in English than in German. --MF-W 12:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Incubator

I've left a message on incubator:User talk:Faster than Thunder. Faster than Thunder (talk) 01:06, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, the ping there didn't reach me (because it wasn't added in the same edit as a signature, if I remember correctly how that works). --MF-W 12:47, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Help for Crimean Tatar

Hello, in Crimean Tatar Wikipedia is one user who writes me and it bothers me. He is saying that the Crimean Tatar needs to stop write in latin script and he says it's imperative that Crimean Tatars follow Russia's rules, can you please do something (like block him from Crimean Tatar Wikipedia) and I would say this to Crimean Tatar admin but he is not online.

It stays that way! See Google Translate and DeepL Justman10000 (talk) 12:06, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Reopening Wikibooks in Interlingue

Hi! How are you? I would like to ask you what do we need to do in order to get the Wikibooks in Interlingue reopen. Caro de Segeda (talk) 06:55, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Reopening projects happens in the same way as creating new ones, so see the language proposal policy. --MF-W 07:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, just to be clear. After voting, do we need to start creating articles at the Incubator or will the ie.wikibooks.org page be reopened so that we create articles there? Caro de Segeda (talk) 10:52, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Test-projects need to have sustained activity on Incubator first. --MF-W 12:23, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

At the Incubator, when trying to create a page with the prefix "Wb/ie/Name of the page" the system says that I am trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or -3 code, when there is already a Wikipedia in Interlingue with its ISO-3 code (ie.wikipedia.org). Could you please help me solve that issue? Caro de Segeda (talk) 20:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

More Caden*** garbage

This new garbage article is still up on dinwp even though the account is still banned. Looks like they've pivoted to creating garbage without linking the article to a wd item to evade detection.
