Infobox CVG[change source]

Could you please delete Template:Infobox CVG? It's a duplicate of Template:Infobox video game. I replaced all the articles with Infobox video game too. Gaz and Gaming Fan (talk) 16:34, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #52[change source]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
    • Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
    • Worked on improving recent changes code in client
    • Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
    • Implemented string formatter
  • Discussions/Press
  • Events
    • upcoming: GLAM-Wiki 2013
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
    • There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
    • There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
    • We hit Q10000000
    • A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
  • Did you know?
  • Open Tasks for You

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Bot issue[change source]

Hey mate. You probably already know about it, but in case you don't: GoblinBot4 is currently operating while logged out. Osiris (talk) 07:09, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #53[change source]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
    • Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
    • Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
    • Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
    • Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
    • Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
  • Events/Press
    • right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
  • Discussions
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
    • Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
    • There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
    • If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
    • There is a new user right: property creators
    • There is now a page to request deletion of a property
    • We now have Bureaucrats
    • Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
  • Open Tasks for You

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Thanks[change source]

Thanks on the blockage on that user who was annoying the heck out of me and maybe several other users. Although when his 24 hours are up I'm still going to keep a wiki-eye on him. Don't mind if I can write back just in case the user is going into anymore trouble. Oh. how can I become an administrator to block users just in case I run into some vandalizing users? Thanks a bunch!!!! --TDKR Chicago (talk), 13 April 2013, 4:37 (UTC).

No problem :) just in case that I may not be online after the block ends, feel free to make a report at WP:VIP if the persistent vandalism continues. To be an administrator, you must be subject to the approval of the community. Most administrator candidates have at least 6-9 months of experience. You should continue the good work you have been doing - you will be noticed eventually and someone may offer to nominate you. See also the guidelines at WP:CFA.

Changing username[change source]

Hi! Just saw that you're online and are a bureaucrat. Maybe you can sort out this for me? It's getting quite annoying to log back out and in again all the time... Thanks! --Mark91it's my world 08:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! I merged my Commons account (thanks for noticing!) so most things are sorted out now. Cheers, --Snow Blizzard 09:09, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Talk:Robert Peary[change source]

Hi! Why did you delete the talk page for Robert Peary. I've read the reason but how is it an attack on the page itself. I've created some talk pages that are the same as Robert Peary's talk page. If its me please tell me how can I improve, but otherwise can I recreate the talk page as based on|John Doe|oldid=123456789. Thanks. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk), 17 April 2013, 13:46 (UTC).

The talk page was created by an anonymous user (not you, you must have been mistaken) with defamatory content. Please feel free to create the talk page again. Chenzw  Talk  08:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #54[change source]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Dispatch lag is now down to 0 so changes should show up very quickly on the Wikipedias in watchlists and recent changes

    • Fixed weird blocked-user/protected-page handling in UI (bugzilla:45140)
    • Final meetings for the external professional review of our code and architecture. They were quite happy with the quality of the codebase and gave useful tips for improvements
    • Worked on automatic summaries for editing claims
    • Investigation of different JavaScript frameworks dealing with date and time
    • Worked on using Redis and the job queue for change notifications to clients
    • Work on the storage code for answering queries
  • Events/Press
    • GLAM-WIKI 2013

Backlog[change source]

I have replied in simple talk. BTW what do you think of the proposal to limit the age of articles by a policy? Cheers, TheStrikeΣagle 13:43, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
