[edit]The interwiki link you added is to a different person. Also the Colm Murphy on nl wikipedia is using incorrect information, "(Belleeks, County Armagh, 18 augustus 1952)" is the place and date of birth of the different person on en wikipedia. Thank you.

Invitation to discussion about Per-user page blocking
[edit]Hi there,
The Anti-Harassment Tools team is seeking input about building User Page (or category) blocking feature.
We’re inviting you to join the discussion because you voted or commented in the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey about Enhanced per-user / per-article protection / blocking.
You can leave comments on this discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.

Help us design granular blocks!
[edit]Hello :-) The Anti-Harassment Tools team at the Wikimedia Foundation will start building these granular blocking tools in a few weeks and we've asked WMF designer Alex Hollender to help us make some wireframes so the tools are intuitive to MediaWiki users.
We have a first draft of how we think this tool should work. You can read the full proposed implementation here but here are the significant parts:
- Granular blocks (page, category, namespace, and file uploading) will be built on top of Special:Block. These blocks will function as if they were regular blocks and allow for the same options, but only take effect on specific pages.
- We will add a new checkbox for "Block this user from the whole site" which will be checked by default. When it is unchecked the admin will be able to specify which pages, categories, and/or namespaces the user should be blocked from editing.
- Granular blocks can be combined and/or overlap. (For example, a user could be simultaneously blocked from editing the articles Rain, Thunder, Lightning, and all pages inside the Category:Weather.)
- Only one block is set at a time, to adjust what the user is blocked from the administrator would have to modify the existing block.
- Block logs should display information about the granular block
- When a blocked user attempts to edit an applicable page, they should see a block warning message which include information on their block (reason, expiration, what they are blocked from, etc.)
- If a category is provided, the blocked user cannot edit either the category page itself and all pages within the category.
- If the File: namespace is blocked, the user should not be allowed to upload files.
We like this direction because it builds on top of the existing block system, both a technical and usability wise. Before we get too far along with designs and development we'd like to hear from you about our prosposal:
- What do you think of the proposed implementation?
- We believe this should be an expansion of Special:Block, but it has been suggested that this be a new special page. What are your thoughts?
- Should uploading files be combined with a File namespace block, or as a separate option? (For example, if combined, when a user is blocked from the File namespace, they would neither be able to edit any existing pages in the File namespace nor upload new files.)
- Should there be a maximum number of things to be blocked from? Or should we leave it up to admin discretion?

Simple Dutch - in Dutch, in het Nederlands
[edit]Beste Ronnie,
Alles kits? Mag ik hier iets schrijven? Tijdens een internetvergadering van WMNL afgelopen woensdag hadden we in de chat een discussie over eenvoudig schrijven in het Nederlands.
- Vergelijk w:nl:Gebruiker:Hansmuller/Presentatie/Wikipedia_in_stijl-1
- Je zei dat de "complexiteit" - ingewikkeldheid - het onmogelijk zou maken om op B1-niveau, dus spreektaal, een artikel over iets moeilijks te schrijven. Dat bestrijd ik, wel kan een lijst van vaktermen met uitleg nodig zijn. Vergelijk mavo/havo/vwo-natuurkunde, een van mijn vakken. Graag zou ik mijn stelling bewijzen:
- Heb je een moeilijke tekst voor me die ik op B1-niveau voor je mag hertalen?
Graag, dankjewel, met vriendelijke groeten, Hansmuller (talk) 10:23, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Beste Hans, ja hoor, van mij mag je hier iets schrijven.
- Allereerst, ik waardeer je inzet voor Wikipedia. Wikipedia is een heel mooi project, en er zijn nog heel wat handjes nodig om alles beter te maken en bij te houden.
- Dat gezegd hebbend, in mijn ogen ben je soms te fel en te zeer gericht op een bepaalde kijk die jij hebt op Wikipedia, waarbij je doordendert zonder dat je weet of je steun hebt van een of meer andere Wikipedianen, laat staan of er minstens een grote minderheid is die jouw ideeën draagt.
- Wat betreft het gewenste taalniveau van Wikipedia, er is in het verleden altijd ingestoken op een niveau dat op het eindniveau havo ligt. Ik denk dat dat zo'n beetje B2 (normaal) is, met wellicht wat C1 erbij. Met dat niveau kan je het eens zijn, of niet eens. Ik begrijp dat jij het daar niet eens bent en vindt dat artikelen op Wikipedia in versimpeld Nederlands (B1) geschreven zouden moeten worden. Je omschrijft B1 als 'spreektaal'. Wikipedia is een geschreven medium, dat op een neutrale wijze allerlei fenomenen beschrijft. Voor het gebruik van termen die als 'spreektaal' worden aangeduid is in de lemma's niet of nauwelijks plaats. Dat er eventueel een term uit de spreektaal terugkomt in een citaat of eentje een zelfstandig lemma krijgt, is iets anders dan standaard de teksten in spreektaal schrijven. Daarnaast is spreektaal, nog meer dan geschreven taal, aan verandering onderhevig.
- Ooit, in een grijs verleden, hadden we in Nederland de (papieren) Winkler Prins Encyclopedie. Die richtte zich op een breed publiek. Tegenwoordig heb je de Winkler Prins Junior, die zich richt op jongeren.
- Naast de Dikke van Dale, is er het Juniorwoordenboek voor kinderen vanaf 8 jaar, het Van Dale Basiswoordenboek Nederlands voor kinderen vanaf 10 jaar en het Van Dale Groot woordenboek Nederlands voor school (Paperback) voor de bovenbouw en het eindexamen havo/vwo van het voortgezet onderwijs in Nederland en de 2e en 3e graad van het secundair onderwijs in Vlaanderen.
- Zo is er naast nl-wiki ook Wikikids, dat zich richt op kinderen van 8-15 jaar. Dat het taalniveau daar op B1 of misschien wel op A2 ligt, is prima, dat past bij de doelgroep. Voor de Engelse Wikipedia is er naast de gewone versie ook een Simple Wikipedia.
- Ik ben het echter niet met je eens dat alle artikelen op nl-Wiki in simpel Nederlands geschreven zouden moeten worden. Je geeft zelf al het voorbeeld van vakjargon. Vakjargon wordt genoemd onder C2, het hoogste taalniveau. Daarnaast sta ik achter de in het verleden gemaakte keuze om niet simpel Nederlands, maar havo(+) als niveau voor onze verzameling kennis te hanteren. Ik kan wel een of meer artikelen zoeken waarvan ik denk dat het een uitdaging is om die geheel in B1 te herschrijven, maar ik weet niet goed waarom ik jou zou vragen daar tijd in te steken.

Thanks for picking up my mistake - having got the death month wrong (living in the past? not keeping up with Christmas season?) I did the maths to get his birth date wrong too. PamD 11:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- @PamD, Thanks for your kind reaction here. Together, we make Wikipedia even better. I came across his decease at his Wikidata item, which just stated '2021'. I wanted to find a source for the exact date, so I went to the article and found some links. They did not match the right month, so I reread both the source and the article and made the changes. Thanks for the article too! And enjoy this Christmas season, it will be over soon ;) RonnieV (talk) 11:20, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
