Hello, thank you again for your help the last few days. I am going to do some research and work to see what other research I can study to provide more References about jobswithdod.com. Introspective.Scholar4 (talk) 02:07, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there, welcome to the 25th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 1 March 2024. We've got a ton of wonderful editors taking back their pitchforks today. Don't worry, for they come in peace, to forcibly fix and extend existing scripts you use with sheer passion. There's so many, them forks have got what's basically their own column now! gift us with some rows before it's too late Aaron Liu (talk) 04:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To a lesser extent, the same goes for PrimeHunter/Search sort. I wish someone would integrate the sorts into the sort menu instead of adding 11 portlet links.
An easily configurable script to add a link to the #p-vector-user-menu-overflow portlet with a name, target, and icon. This one should be a relatively easier one. I would do it myself, but I'm too busy rotting away on Celeste (video game).
After the ＲＩＩＪ update, Aaron Liu: Watchlyst Greybar Unsin has a dismiss button that allows you to mark an item as read in one click and cycle to the next Watchlist item.
Lordseriouspig/StatusChangerImproved is just like Enterprisey's script, except you select your status from a dropdown instead of cycling through them with a button. The WMF operates out of car-centric infrastructure anyway. Shame!
Aaron Liu has created Duplinks from Evad37/duplinks-alt; his fork adds a config variable to automatically highlight duplicate links on the loading of any page where the portlet link would've appeared.
Tired of staring at a bunch of filtering text and waiting for darn filter logs to load? Msz2001/AbuseFilter analyzer can parse abuse filters into a visual syntax tree and evaluate locally on-demand!
Polygnotus/DuplicateReferences finds references with the same link and displays the number of them along with a button to add the {{duplicated citations}} tag under the references section. Being lazy has never been easier!

...on CIR may be correct. The editor has been given very similar advice in a great many occasions. I feel that they are a net benefit for us under the block imposed since they can do no harm. They are a bit of a time sink if allowed. It may be that we have not found the best way to explain things to them. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrentFaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 20:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtrent apologies for the late reply but when I saw this I had no other response than I disagree. I know you are completely fine with disagreements but wanted to lay out why because, for one, that is one should do but as much if not more so because I have a lot of respect for you. I think the ANI discussion has brought the issues to light, which I have witnessed also for a while now. I would !vote supporting a ban but at this point it's just piling on. Consensus is clear so no need to keep hammering the nail as clearly it is not helpful for Greg. As much as folks have tried over the years, to him our statements are as empty/senseless as we think his statements are so no progress can occur. I think that situation is permanent unfortunately.

Can you check it Teesta University ? This is private university of Rangpur Bangladesh and already page in Bangla Wikipedia so can u check English one? Mashrafi A (talk) 03:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Mashrafi A, that one does not meet the notability criteria. Some time back the criteria for schools was tightened. For private schools they need meet WP:NCORP which with the current sourcing Teesta does not and given the school is only a year old it might take some time for qualifying sources to exist. I will leave it for another reviewer though. S0091 (talk) 15:58, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made my draft about my own Proof for the Median of the Trapezoid theorem that I'm publishing. I already verified the proof and now I'm simply using Wikipedia to publish said proof. The Median of the Trapezoid theorem is literally not even on Wikipedia, despite how important it is in the field of geometry. I'm not very good with articles, so I'll leave it to someone else, I'm just publishing my proof and nothing more. I referenced anything that I didn't come up with and I linked people who contributed to this proof. As for referencing a source, I don't need to do so since I am Moustafa Elwasif, and I made that proof which has been validated, and therefore I'm trying to publish it. The article is made by me first hand.
So, I'd like to ask if there's something else I haven't mentioned that you find as an error or so, so that I can fix it.
Hello - I need your quick opinion on whether you also believe, as I do, that this is a self-published source before I start removing it, given that it’s been used on countless articles. Just so you know, I’m on a spree removing unreliable sources from our articles one by one! — Saqib (talk I contribs) 14:49, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Next time you ask me about a source, can you give me a couple examples of how it's used? Article and footnote# will do. That will help give me some context. S0091 (talk) 15:28, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at Teefa in Trouble...wow and yeah, no. Using those archived links, again the About Us page does not exist, there's nothing about their method for determining the box office estimates, etc. so I agree it's not WP:RS. If it were still an active site I would suggest taking it to RSN to have it deemed WP:GUNREL but not worth it at this point unless someone pushes back with your removals. S0091 (talk) 15:58, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, I'll remove it in phases. Last time, it took me quite a few days to remove pakmag.net and footballpakistan.com. Removing references is draining, but it feels rewarding in the end. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 17:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Open Conversation with the Trustees at Wikimania hosted breakout discussions about the Movement Charter, affiliate strategy and hubs, the proposal for a Global Resource Distribution Committee (hybrid table--had streaming and is available to watch back online), the Product/Tech Advisory Council & Product/Tech priorities, building a sustainable revenue strategy for the movement: online fundraising, Wikimedia Enterprise and the Wikimedia Endowment, and responding to emerging threats to free knowledge: litigation, censorship, disinformation, and trust in an election year.
As I can see, you left a pinging label on the bottom of the page Draft:Roman Galay. Is there any information about Wikipedia:AFCH submission or any comment about it?
Good afternoon. Can you please let me know what determines notability? This person has significant regional notability in South Carolina and is running for political office. Thanks. Jackstott20 (talk) 18:42, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Jackstott20 read through all the linked information in provided in the previous declines and comments. For a politician, generally they must already hold a state or federal office such as a legislator. Please also see WP:AUTOBIO. S0091 (talk) 18:49, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Astraea2024 I don't generally answer edit requests but I did notice you did not include the edit request template which adds it to a list so editors who do answer request will see it. I have added it for you. I will leave you a message on your talk page about having a COI and making requests. S0091 (talk) 15:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @S0091, I appreciate your feedback for Kathleen Amm's WikiPage. I think that I have made the appropriate corrections because I rewrote the whole thing to be based off of third-party resources to not be like the previous version, which was using resources to support the content. I also understand that although I have disclosed my connection to Kathleen Amm, it is still an issue that I am writing this page. This is my first Wiki article and I am still navigating the process. Do you have any tips or corrections based on the updated draft or should I just resubmit and hope for the best?
Hi @MagnetWiki based on the current sources, she does not meet the notability criteria. One source is an interview and the other two are a regurgitation of the same press release, both of which are primary sources and not independent, and nothing suggests she meets the notability guidelines for academics (read that). You are welcome to resubmit it to get another opinion though. S0091 (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @S0091! Thanks for reviewing my article. I would love the opportunity to revise the content, as I spent a considerable time on research, and it's extensive entry. Would you be willing to restore the content so I can move it to my sandbox, so I can continue to partner with editors? Thank you so much. SaraJKK (talk) 16:51, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @SaraJKK, it looks like the admin who deleted restored it for you in draft. Keep in mind the article is about Dave so all the content about his father should mostly be removed, outside of maybe a couple sentences or so as most if not all the information in already covered at Paul Wellstone. That is also the case for sources. If the sources do not mention Dave, then they are largely unhelpful and you need reliable secondary sources with in-depth coverage about Dave, not interviews, his comments,etc. Those are the type of sources you need to summarize to establish the article and it need to be written in a neutral manner; no praise, etc. Please also see WP:Words to watch. The reason I nominated for deletion is because in order for it meet Wikipedia's various policies, it would essentially needed to be rewritten from scratch as most of it was not salvageable.
