Hello! Can i ask you about the copyright tag for the photos for more than 100 years old which were belonged to unknown author and country of origin. These images come from pinterest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editorfree1011 (talk • contribs)

@Editorfree1011:, well it's complicated. First (1st) of all when it was published is also very important for a lot of countries (like Việt-Nam) as their copyright duration is based on publication in some countries and the life of the author in others. For Vietnam it's pretty safe to say that all photographs published before 1948 are in the public domain, but then you need proof that they were published then and not just taken, which is a bit difficult. As for the lack of known authorship, well, on the internet it is common for photographs with known authors to circulate without it being attributed, "anonymous" is then untrue but it would be the best you can find on with the information you have and anyone wanting to delete it must prove that the photographs can be attributed to someone. --Donald Trung (talk) 19:23, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Then, can you tell me which one is the best that we can avoid the images removed in the future? According to what u said, wiki does not give the clear guildline for the very old images which is no longer copyright required.

Partial unblock?

Would you like me to lobby to have your block on meta converted to a partial block that allows editing User: space so you could edit your global user page, m:Special:MyPage/global.js and m:Special:MyPage/global.css? (I'd prefer to refrain from getting into the politics of your block as I have enough enemies as it is but an unblock for User: should be easy as that's not a talk namespace) — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 23:33, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz:, if you could, as I've made plenty of enemies to know that any full unblock will be impossible, and it would allow me to use Brawl globally. Thanks in advance. --Donald Trung (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Hermila Galindo Acosta (also known as Hermila Galindo de Topete) (2 June 1886 – 18 August 1954) was a Mexican feminist and a writer. She was an early supporter of many radical feminist issues, primarily sex education in schools, women's suffrage, and divorce. She was one of the first feminists to state that Catholicism in Mexico was thwarting feminist efforts, and was the first woman to run for elected office in Mexico.

Recent changes

  • In the Wikipedia Android app it is now possible to change the toolbar at the bottom so the tools you use more often are easier to click on. The app now also has a focused reading mode. [2][3]

Problems

  • There was a problem with the collection of some page-view data from June 2021 to January 2022 on all wikis. This means the statistics are incomplete. To help calculate which projects and regions were most affected, relevant datasets are being retained for 30 extra days. You can read more on Meta-wiki.
  • There was a problem with the databases on March 10. All wikis were unreachable for logged-in users for 12 minutes. Logged-out users could read pages but could not edit or access uncached content then. [4]

Changes later this week

  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 March. It will be on all wikis from 17 March (calendar).
  • When using uselang=qqx to find localisation messages, it will now show all possible message keys for navigation tabs such as "View history". [5]
  • Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights through their group memberships. Before, only those with the deleterevision right could access this special page. [6]
  • On the Special:Undelete pages for diffs and revisions, there will be a link back to the main Undelete page with the list of revisions. [7]

Future changes

Events

  • The Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 will take place as a hybrid event on 20-22 May 2022. The Hackathon will be held online and there are grants available to support local in-person meetups around the world. Grants can be requested until 20 March.

Not in a million years

@Alexis Jazz:, judging by the reactions nobody wants to do it and if you saw my last unblock request you can tell that it doesn't matter what I say people will oppose it no matter what, I have simply made too many enemies to get even a minimum of an unblock. As you can see from the last request they wanted to take away my ability to edit that talk page so any attempt to get a partial unblock will result in me also losing the ability to edit that talk page, my best hope is to see if the culture will shift in the next few decades (unlikely, as the type of people who oppose me being here are always multiplying)... Thank you for trying though, I do really appreciate it and I appreciate you as a contributor as you genuinely make Wikimedia websites a better place. --Donald Trung (talk) 19:17, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

It's not over yet. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:25, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

How to make Global JS

@Alexis Jazz: Excuse me for bothering you again, but how do I get brawl Bawl globally? --Donald Trung (talk) 12:49, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Never mind, I'm an idiot, it was on the Bawl page itself... --Donald Trung (talk) 12:52, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Growth Newsletter #20

Welcome to the twentieth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in Wikimedia projects.

Suggested edits

As of February, 300,000 suggested edits have been completed since the feature was first deployed in December 2019.

Add a link is the team's first structured task, deployed in May 2021. It has improved outcomes for newcomers. The team is now working on a second iteration based on community feedback and data analysis. Improvements will include: improved algorithmic suggestions, guardrails to prevent too many similar links to be added, and clearer encouragement for users to continue making edits. After adding these improvements, we will deploy this task to more Wikipedias.

Add an image is the second structured task built by our team. It was deployed in November 2021 to four pilot Wikipedias. This is a more challenging task for newcomers. However, it adds more value to articles (so far, over 1,000 images have been added). We are currently learning from communities and from the data on what is working well and what needs improvements. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. We will soon deploy this task to more Wikipedias as a test.

"Add a link" and "Add an image" now both have a limitation on how many of these tasks newcomers can do per day. It is meant to discourage careless newcomers from making too many problematic edits.

Positive reinforcement

Over the last two years, the Growth team has focused on building suggested edits: easy tasks for newcomers to start with. We have learned with this experience that these tasks help many newcomers to make their first edits. Now, the team is starting a new project : "positive reinforcement". Its goal is to make newcomers proud of their editing and to make them want to come back for more of them. With the positive reinforcement project, we are considering three kinds of features:

  • Impact stats: give newcomers the ability to see how many people read the articles they edit.
  • Leveling up: encourage newcomers to progress from easier tasks to harder tasks.
  • Personalized praise: encourage mentors and other editors to "thank" and award newcomers for good work.

This project is just beginning, and we hope for community thoughts on the direction. We know that things can wrong if we offer the wrong incentives to newcomers, so we want to be careful. Please visit the talk page to help guide the project!

News for mentors

  • The mentor dashboard is available at all wikis. It helps mentors see who their mentees are and keep track of their activity. It is automatically activated where a list of mentors has been created. If you need assistance to create a list of mentors, please contact us.
  • The mentor dashboard has a new module: settings. It is now possible for mentors to define their status (active or away). They can specify the volume of questions they want to receive, and they can claim mentees in an easier way. It is also possible for mentors to quit, which will automatically reassign their mentees to other mentors.
  • We are working on an ability for a mentee to opt-out (and back in) to having a mentor.
  • Previously, in the table that displays mentees activity, the filters displayed all mentees, even the ones with zero edits or lots of edits. We have changed this so that only mentees with between 1 and 500 edits are visible by default. Mentors can change this value in their filters.
  • We are currently working on a special page for mentors to sign-up.

Some wikis have created userboxes that mentors can display on the user pages. If your wiki has one, please link it to Wikidata!

Scaling

Previously, at most Wikipedias, only 80% of newcomers were getting the Growth features. This was done for experimentation, to have a control group. We have changed this setting. Now 100% of new accounts at all Wikipedias get the Growth features (except a few, kept as test wikis). We invite communities to update their onboarding documentation and tutorials. Please include the Growth features in it. To help you, we have created an help page that can be translated and adapted to your wiki.

How to help

Do you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work. We regularly update it.

Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.
