I have updated the subscription lists so that the messages you have been missing will get sent to this page. You should now be receiving these messages again. —MRD201423:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
When I was renamed last year, I still received mass messages, but it was because my old username's talk page redirected to my new one. Some of those newsletter lists just had a typo in your name and the other ones didn't work because User talk:Samtar contains Category:Opted-out of message delivery and is not a redirect. —MRD201412:41, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the page is ready to go back to protection. I've been noticing an increase in vandalism and hoax information since I initially sent the request to WP:RPP. I did not send a request now, but since I remember you have the page on your Watchlist, I thought I'd let you now what's going on. jd22292(Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
There are sometimes links to pages about the same thing on other Wikimedia projects. A Wikipedia article about Berlin can link to the Wikivoyage guide or Wiktionary entry about Berlin. You can now see when that page has a badge. A badge could be the star that shows that an article is a featured article. [1]
Changes this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 July. It will be on all wikis from 13 July (calendar).
Meetings
You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 July at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
Mobile users will be able to edit Wikipedia without JavaScript. This will make it possible to edit the wikis from older mobile phones. This will probably happen on 18 July for most wikis. [2]
We will not useTidy on Wikimedia wikis in the future. It will be replaced by June 2018. It could be earlier. Editors will need to fix pages that could break. You can read the simplified instructions for editors.
Sorry to come to you again. I do not like doing this but I also do not want this to escalate or for others to think it is acceptable. It may seem minor, but it is uncivil and is not in the tone of good faith editing, it is an attempt to attack the user (myself here) to shut me down from commenting further, and if I respond directly on the page i look petty and childish. Where as this is a bully tactic to shut the discussion down, as it would be favourable to that user. The diff in question is here.
I am coming to you as I have learned not to rise to the bait but instead call it out with someone who can shut it down, without engaging in activities that could lead to one both or multiple editors being in hot water. I also come to you as you and I have been in this sphere before and you are even handed and highly competent in this matters. Sport and politics (talk) 13:45, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is not really hyperbole, if you read the comment, it is designed to simply say stop now you are being a petty idiot, do it my way you are just a winger. Not really civil or conducive to inclusive good faith editing, as it is nothing more than an attempt to shut the conversation down in a way which is favourable to that user. The definition of not building a consensus. Sport and politics (talk) 13:55, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is also a classic tactic of WP:Own to prevent change is to a page which they dislike. This is a real issue on the pages in discussion, due to the limited number of editors, and the vested interest of being a club supporter, or football follower. It seems difficult to pull up the Three editors and the specific editors in question as owners, without being accused of being uncivil and making accusations. I do not think any of them are behaving in an owning manner overtly or actively but are doing so passively, and are preventing all edits which they dislike, this needs to be tackled, but any reporting of it made, is difficult. Sport and politics (talk) 13:59, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well. To be fair to TNT- who, as we know, has very little Time :) -if an issue covers multiple pages, multiple issues, and multiple editors, wouldn't you be better off at a noticeboard? -> more eyes on the issues form those who aren't football fans, for example, who can maintain distance between themselves and the subject. Just UMHO of course. Well, perhaps more in the way of suggestion really. — fortunavelut luna14:03, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sport and politics: Goodness me, this whole thing is becoming a real nightmare! Regarding that diff, it was unkind but something which is just the product of emotions getting a little high and editors not keeping cool. I can see the discussion is continuing, so I'd ask that you currently keep discussing the issue in a civil way, and see if it can come to a natural conclusion without any administrative input. Just bear in mind that consensusmay be against you on this point, and if it is you will need to accept it -- There'sNoTime(to explain)07:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There’sNoTime This is to do with NSEL case page you had previously blocked because of edit wars. I’m trying to make the page as neutral as possible to the best of my abilities. I feel there is a lot of distortion on the page and had raised an edit request for the same. With every edit I have given a valid reason and kept in line with Wikipedia protocols. Going forward I do not want to be part of edit wars, please suggest best way out as my edits are being reverted. Anrdshr (talk) 10:23, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello TheresNoTime/old, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!
Backlog update:
The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.
Technology update:
Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.
