Western Railway Elevated Corridor
editHi, I tried to edit Western Railway Elevated Corridor but inadvertently screwed up the table. Please remove Hindi and Marathi from the table. Also, there should be no underground stations as it is an elevated line. If you can find a source that says UG, then we should rename the article --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, just remember this: If A exists, Be does not need to exist. Do read WP:N. The reason why I asked for removal for local languages is 1. This is the English Wikipedia. 2. Adding oter languages will result in massive fight between users and IPs. That is all. Cheers, Happy Editing. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

editOn 8 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Amrut Distilleries, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Amrut Distilleries, which makes India's first single-malt whisky, has found that whisky matures in the barrel much faster in India than in Scotland? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Amrut Distilleries. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Beer brands
editHi BigJolly. I noted your question about beer brands on the Beer Project talkpage. We don't have an article on beer brands as such, though we do have List pages for some major brewery companies that have a range of beer brands, such as Heineken brands, and we have regional articles which may contain details of notable brands see {{Beers of the world}}. There is a category for beer brands: Category:Beer brands which contains those List articles, along with some individual articles on certain brands that do not fit into the sub-cats. Most beer brands are not sufficiently notable or encyclopedic for a stand alone article, so most beer brands are dealt with within a parent article on the brewery. For more advice see: WP:Beer brands. I hope this helps. SilkTork ✔Tea time 09:18, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying that, User:SilkTork. I get that not every beer is notable enough for an article. That is the case with other types of alcohol too. But I noticed that beer did not have an article similar to List of vodkas, List of whisky brands, List of rum producers or the somewhat related List of cigarette brands. In my opinion, an article that contains a list of beer brands by their country of origin would be useful to have. We dont have a worldwide article on the topic, only region specific ones. While the Beer and breweries by region article, links to this information, there is no article that deals with it directly. BigJolly9 (talk) 14:36, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- We can continue this at the project page, where others may join in, and perhaps agree with your idea of a beer brands page. I've moved the above comments: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beer#Beer_brands, and I'll respond there shortly. SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:46, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Amendments of the Constitution of India
editThanks, for your great contributions in the articles regarding Amendments of the Constitution of India. I nominated one of your article in the Did you know. I expect more intersecting articles from you. If you know articles which are new and interesting, please nominate it in DYK nominations. --Gfosankar (talk) 12:27, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the nomination, Gfosankar. Most of the amendment articles are new, and could possibly have a DYK which states their purpose. Regarding the current nomination, I think you left out the word "from"; it should be "lowered the voting age from 21 years to 18 years". --BigJolly9 (talk) 17:32, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

editOn 3 December 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sixty-first Amendment of the Constitution of India, which you created or substantially expanded.

VisualEditor newsletter—May 2014
editDid you know?
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.
Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.
- There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction. This allows editors who have opted in to use the "Language" tool in the "Insert" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this:
<span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>
. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis. - The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
- The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field. Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
- TemplateData has been expanded: You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones. "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work. There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names. The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
- Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
- Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency. The message shown when you "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie. As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
- Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
- In the "Images and media" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
- There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData. You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box. If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
- There have been multiple small changes to the appearance: External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki. This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links. The styling of the "Style text" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin. VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images. Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
- The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
- At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.
Looking ahead: The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at 10:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project.

Bangalore Chennai Shatabdi Express
editHi, noticed your work on Mumbai Suburban Railways. I needed your assistance on an issue on Bangalore Chennai Shatabdi Express. Another user has been removing the links & references posted. I need a second opinion on his actions. Could you help??
Some of his brilliant thoughts - Mumbai central image to Surat railway station's article.[1]
Its a historic problem between us. Recently there was a discussion on whether detailed time tables should exist on train articles & several editors talked together on it without even once referring to any policy, i mean it was just editors talking to each other but this big quoter of policies just tucked in his tail between his legs & scooted out of there.
Superfast1111 (talk) 05:58, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, Superfast1111. This issue seems complex. Regarding some of the edits: I am not sure about the timetable. My understanding is that we would not include a detailed time table, but a quick description about how many services operate in a day and at what time they depart/arrive would be fine. Even if the user disagrees on its inclusion, you could include it if you and other editors achieve consensus. As for the Surat article, it is clear that the user got it wrong when he reverted your edit and replaced a Surat station pic with a Mumbai Central station one. However, his edit summary says that you are repeating the "same behaviour" for which you were blocked. I, certainly, dont have enough information regarding the history between you two to make an informed decision on this.
- Regarding reliability of sources, I am again not very sure. When it comes to rail, I generally edit metro articles rather than traditional rail. Metros and Mumbai locals are usually well covered in the mainstream media. The user states that IRFCA is not RS. I dont know enough about the site to make a judgment on it, but I did find this short discussion where some editors state that it is reliable.
- I noticed that you have had discussions with several other editors on your talk page. Also, I have not been able to find any discussion between you and the other user on the article talk page or your respective talk pages regarding this issue. Maybe, I missed it, but if there has not been a discussion, I suggest you take up the issue with the concerned user first. If you guys have disagreements, its always better to try to resolve it through consensus. Perhaps, asking the other editors for guidance, who I think will be more aware of the history of this issue, would be a good idea as well.
- In any case, please let me know if I can be of any help. BigJolly9 (talk) 07:45, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
We have had not so fruitful talks most of which have had a not so pleasant conclusion. The repeated behavior was my reverting his edits on Surat railway station. I was extremely surprised that even an admin refused to agree with me. But all that is in the past, my request is that you take a look at the electronic diarrhea on Bangalore Chennai Shatabdi Express & see if you agree with the last 10 edits of his. A look at Pushpak Express would also be appreciated. Thanks a lot for your assistance.
Disambiguation link notification for June 4
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Council of Ministers of Narendra Modi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Harsh Vardhan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Personal Bias against a Brand
editDear BigJolly9- Its not Vandalism. You are knowingly keeping ONE Case against a Brand in its History, thereby, giving negative impression about the Brand.
No Other WikiPages have the CONTROVERSY in ITS HISTORY Section.
If you want to badly insert that case (Guessing you have something against that particular Brand), Please insert Controversy/Court Case section and do so.
Thanks. P.S- You are free too Ban me for the same- but does not change the fact that you have something personal against this Brand from the looks of it.
- "No Other WikiPages have the CONTROVERSY in ITS HISTORY Section". I don't know how much of Wikipedia you have seen, but this is completely false. Several articles have controversial content in various sections. Second, if you want to accuse me of bias, please present evidence, otherwise you're just wasting everyone's time. Perhaps, you work for the brand and that is why you are insisting on removing it. See how pointless such accusations are? Third, please explain your actions in an edit summary when you make an edit. Any editor on Wikipedia will revert section blanking that is not accompanied by an explanation. Fourth, please do sign your comments by placing four tildes (~) after your post. Finally, I am not an admin and have no power to block anyone. If you believe that the section should not be in the article, please start a discussion on the article's talk page and try to achieve WP:CONSENSUS for the move. I will restore the article to its original state until then. BigJolly9 (talk) 10:55, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- I just noticed that you edited my user page. Please note editing other people's user pages and comments is something that you should never do on Wikipedia. BigJolly9 (talk) 11:01, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
I am related to the Brand, That I will accept. Also, I am unaware of how to start a Talk- and this was the option presented to me. If its outside certain online etiquettes, I apologize.
Anyway- I am unaware How I can put this view- of keeping the same content in a seperate section- as anyway it seems more logical. So I will keep changing it to this format as I have done- and would try to give explanation for the same.
Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Modi.priyansh (talk • contribs) 11:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. If you actually have a connection to the subject, you should pay particular attention to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I am willing to accept a Consumer case/Legal section instead of placing the content in history. However, I believe the entire content should be placed into this section and not just what you have added. I shall restore that to the section. I hope this compromise is acceptable to you. Please also read WP:CONSENSUS. If you want to make changes to Wikipedia that are challenged, then you need to win consensus. What you have been doing now is called edit warring.
- Also, for the record, I have created articles related to several brands of alcohol (including other brands made by United Spirits Limited). I personally dont think anyone should stop consuming a product because of a solitary incident. But here on Wikipedia, we strive to be neutral and present all views - positive and negative. It is for the reader to make up his own mind on the subject. BigJolly9 (talk) 12:25, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Ok, Just read about Conflict of Interest.. so will refrain from making edits. And I agree that both Positive and Negative views should be shown- I myself would have asked same for any other page too- but at the same time, showing the Negative view first thing in History, does not sit right with me.
Anyway, will not be making edits as of now. Thanks for the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Modi.priyansh (talk • contribs) 14:58, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to read COI. It is not necessary for you to refrain from editing, but if you choose to edit an article related to a whisky manufactured by your employer (or their competitors), you will have to take extra care to ensure that all your edits are backed up by reliable sources. This applies throughout Wikipedia, but in this case, as an employee of the company, your edits are likely to be scrutinized more than edits made by uninvolved editors. I do appreciate you discussing this with me and also admitting that you have a potential conflict of interest; that is always the best way to resolve issues.

Sockpuppet investigation
editHi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mushroom9, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

VisualEditor newsletter—September and October 2014
editSince the last newsletter, the Editing team has reduced technical debt, simplified some workflows for template and citation editing, made major progress on Internet Explorer support, and fixed over 125 bugs and requests. Several performance improvements were made, especially to the system around re-using references and reference lists. Weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org.
There were three issues that required urgent fixes: a deployment error that meant that many buttons didn't work correctly (bugs 69856 and 69864), a problem with edit conflicts that left the editor with nowhere to go (bug 69150), and a problem in Internet Explorer 11 that caused replaced some categories with a link to the system message, MediaWiki:Badtitletext (bug 70894) when you saved. The developers apologize for the disruption, and thank the people who reported these problems quickly.
Increased support for devices and browsers
editInternet Explorer 10 and 11 users now have access to VisualEditor. This means that about 5% of Wikimedia's users will now get an "Edit" tab alongside the existing "Edit source" tab. Support for Internet Explorer 9 is planned for the future.
Tablet users browsing the site's mobile mode now have the option of using a mobile-specific form of VisualEditor. More editing tools, and availability of VisualEditor on smartphones, is planned for the future. The mobile version of VisualEditor was tweaked to show the context menu for citations instead of basic references (bug 68897). A bug that broke the editor in iOS was corrected and released early (bug 68949). For mobile tablet users, three bugs related to scrolling were fixed (bug 66697, bug 68828, bug 69630). You can use VisualEditor on the mobile version of Wikipedia from your tablet by clicking on the cog in the top-right when editing a page and choosing which editor to use.
TemplateData editor
editA tool for editing TemplateData will be deployed to more Wikipedias soon. Other Wikipedias and some other projects may receive access next month. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
Other changes
editSeveral interface messages and labels were changed to be simpler, clearer, or shorter, based on feedback from translators and editors. The formatting of dialogs was changed, and more changes to the appearance will be coming soon, when VisualEditor implements the new MediaWiki theme from Design. (A preview of the theme is available on Labs for developers.) The team also made some improvements for users of the Monobook skin that improved the size of text in toolbars and fixed selections that overlapped menus.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki now supplies the mw-redirect
or mw-disambig
class on links to redirects and disambiguation pages, so that user gadgets that colour in these in types of links can be created.
Templates' fields can be marked as 'required' in TemplateData. If a parameter is marked as required, then you cannot delete that field when you add a new template or edit an existing one (bug 60358).
Language support improved by making annotations use bi-directional isolation (so they display correctly with cursoring behaviour as expected) and by fixing a bug that crashed VisualEditor when trying to edit a page with a dir
attribute but no lang
set (bug 69955).
Looking ahead
editThe team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon, perhaps in late October.
The team is also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables, and early work for this may appear within the month. Please comment on the design at Mediawiki.org.
In the future, real-time collaborative editing may be possible in VisualEditor. Some early preparatory work for this was recently done.
Supporting your wiki
editAt Wikimania, several developers gave presentations about VisualEditor. A translation sprint focused on improving access to VisualEditor was supported by many people. Deryck Chan was the top translator. Special honors also go to संजीव कुमार (Sanjeev Kumar), Robby, Takot, Bachounda, Bjankuloski06 and Ата. A summary of the work achieved by the translation community has been posted here. Thank you all for your work.
VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
Please join the office hours on Saturday, 18 October 2014 at 18:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Africa and Europe) and on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC on IRC.

VisualEditor newsletter—November 2014
editSince the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.
Recent improvements
editThe French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias next week, and eventually at the English Wikipedia.
The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.
VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.
The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar's menus are now shown in the menus. VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience / Design group. The appearance of dialogs has already changed in one Mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.)
Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search program could not find the page. A link inside a template, to a local page that does not exist, will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to a error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [2] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.
TemplateData
editThe tool for quickly editing TemplateData will be deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool is already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Edit template data" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.
You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common response for that parameter. The autovalue can be easily overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.
In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "suggested" or "optional" in TemplateData instead.
Looking ahead
editBasic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in tables will appear next Wednesday. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be possible later. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus will be hidden behind a "More" item, such as "underlining" in the styling menu. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.
The user guide will be updated soon to add information about editing tables. The translations for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.
You can influence VisualEditor's design. Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.

VisualEditor newsletter—December 2014
editDid you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on table editing and performance. Their weekly status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.
VisualEditor was deployed to several hundred remaining wikis as an opt-in beta feature at the end of November, except for most Wiktionaries (which depend heavily upon templates) and all Wikisources (which await integration with ProofreadPage).
Recent improvements
editBasic support for editing tables is available. You can insert new tables, add and remove rows and columns, set or remove a caption for a table, and merge cells together. To change the contents of a cell, double-click inside it. More features will be added in the coming months. In addition, VisualEditor now ignores broken, invalid rowspan
and colspan
elements, instead of trying to repair them.
You can now use find and replace in VisualEditor, reachable through the tool menu or by pressing ⌃ Ctrl+F or ⌘ Cmd+F.
You can now create and edit simple <blockquote>
paragraphs for quoting and indenting content. This changes a "Paragraph" into a "Block quote".
Some new keyboard sequences can be used to format content. At the start of the line, typing "* " will make the line a bullet list; "1. " or "# " will make it a numbered list; "==" will make it a section heading; ": " will make it a blockquote. If you didn't mean to use these tools, you can press undo to undo the formatting change. There are also two other keyboard sequences: "[[" for opening the link tool, and "{{" for opening the template tool, to help experienced editors. The existing standard keyboard shortcuts, like ⌃ Ctrl+K to open the link editor, still work.
If you add a category that has been redirected, then VisualEditor now adds its target. Categories without description pages show up as red.
You can again create and edit galleries as wikitext code.
Looking ahead
editVisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme designed by the User Experience group. The new theme will be visible for desktop systems at MediaWiki.org in late December and at other sites early January. (You can see a developer preview of the old "Apex" theme and the new "MediaWiki" one which will replace it.)
The Editing team plans to add auto-fill features for citations in January. Planned changes to the media search dialog will make choosing between possible images easier.
Help
edit- Share your ideas and ask questions at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.
- Translations of the user guide for most languages are oudated. Ukrainian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Dutch translators are nearly current. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language.
- Talk to the Editing team during the office hours via IRC. The next session is on Wednesday, 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC.
- File requests for language-appropriate "Bold" and "Italic" icons for the character formatting menu in Phabricator.
- The design research team wants to see how real editors work. Please sign up for their research program.

Speedy deletion nomination of Faaso's
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Faaso's, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ukexpat (talk) 17:06, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
