Frozen accolades list co nomination

Hi. Hope you're well. Just to let you know that I added my co-nomination as we had discussed on my talk page. I'm currently on wikibreak till August so wouldn't be able to actively help more than I already have but with four "supports" so far I think it's pretty secure. Best wishes, Cowlibob (talk) 17:31, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

The accolades list just got promoted to featured list! Good job! Cowlibob (talk) 17:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

VisualEditor newsletter—July and August 2014

The VisualEditor team is currently working mostly to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

Screenshot of VisualEditor's link tool
Dialog boxes in VisualEditor have been re-designed to use action words instead of icons. This has increased the number of items that need to be translated. The user guide is also being updated.

The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. The design for each dialog box and window was simplified. The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them.

  • Hidden HTML comments (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.
  • You can now drag and drop text and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.
  • All references and footnotes (<ref> tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Insert" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Insert" menu.
  • When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an image caption immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.
  • All tablet users visiting the mobile web version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.
  • The link tool has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.
  • The "Cancel" button in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables. Work to support Internet Explorer is ongoing.

Feedback opportunities

The Editing team will be making two presentations this weekend at Wikimania in London. The first is with product manager James Forrester and developer Trevor Parscal on Saturday at 16:30. The second is with developers Roan Kattouw and Trevor Parscal on Sunday at 12:30.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at the VisualEditor feedback page or by joining the office hours discussion on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 09:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East and Asia) or on Thursday, 18 September 2014 at 16:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Europe).

Hello

Hi there Quenhitran,

Thanks for your welcome message on my page. I also noticed you reverted the recent edits I made. What was wrong with them? If you let me know, I can correct my mistakes and redo the edits so that they are satisfactory.

Thanks, Ben

(p.s. I've not used talkpages before, so apologies if I'm not doing this quite right, and feel free to tell me so!) Ben wren (talk) 23:14, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Delay

The closings appear to be intermittent now. Some of the FLCs are closing properly and some aren't, and the Frozen list is one that doesn't seem to be going through. I'll take a look at it later today. Giants2008 (Talk) 16:10, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Rebels of the Neon God

Thanks for your message. It is customary for articles about Chinese-language films to include the Chinese title in Chinese characters, even in the English wikipedia. I suggest keeping my change to be consistent with the other articles on Chinese films. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.130.145 (talk) 05:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Re webheads

Hi Quenhitran

re the webheads nickelodeon wiki page. We're webheads - it's an agency in the UK and we've been around since 1994! 7 years before Wikipedia !! I wanted to create a page so people don't confused between this kids show and our agency. Not sure if that's possible or not ? ( I should add that webheads to us is trademarked http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcase/Results/1/UK00003035340 )

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webheads wdc (talkcontribs) 10:54, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Lilya Brik

Hello, Quenhitran! I think you are wrong, the portrait's autor is worldwide famous (for its Zarathustrian paintings). Besides these portraits are unique. Who else did something rare and excellent? It was painted by lipstick. I think it's worthy of mentioning in Wikipedia. Hope you understand me and uniqueness of these works. Yours, Vassily4.Vassily4, 15:40, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
