I have been working on the page for the 21st Century Green-Book Project.

Is it in good enough shape for a review?

Fords211372, Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read Help:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out the tutorial; it's a lot of fun!

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the July 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• July 18–22 - Discussion phase (we are here)
• July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase
• July 30–c. Aug 3 - Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Discussion phase.

On July 23, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last approximately four days, or perhaps a little longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Moved from User talk:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD

Hi. I'm having some issues with mass renaming things. I've gotten the hang of the general process, but whenever I submit to CFD, the proposal isn't in the format of "propose renaming X to Y", but instead just "propose X" (example). In cases like those, I have to manually add the "to Y" part (example), which can be tedious. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is it a problem on the script's end? Errors aside, thanks for making the script! It's very helpful! - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 22:58, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from User talk:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD

@Qwerfjkl. Hey there. I notice this user script introduces some variables into the global namespace such as config. This recently caused a bug in another user script (see here). I think this could be easily fixed if you wrapped your code in an IIFE. That is, just add (function() { to the top and }()); to the bottom. Would you be willing to give that a try?

Administrator Elections | Voting phase

The voting phase of the July 2025 administrator elections has started and continues until July 29 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for approximately four days, perhaps longer.

== Question from SBG2025 (14:32, 25 July 2025) == WRONG BIO

Hi! I want to correct a biography that someone wrote bout me. A lot of informations are wrong and also damage my image. How can I fix it? Thanks! --SBG2025 (talk) 14:32, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I hope this message finds you well.

I am reaching out to kindly request corrections and updates to a biography that has been published about me. This is not the first time I have attempted to address these concerns, and I appreciate your attention to the matter.

There are several inaccuracies and omissions in the current biography:

My correct date of birth is October 10, not October 30. I was born in Varese, not in Malnate. (There is no hospital in Malnate.) I respectfully ask that my year of birth be removed. In my profession as an actress, disclosing one's exact age can unintentionally limit casting opportunities and does not accurately reflect one’s range or abilities. I would also like to request the removal of any information regarding the documentation used for my working visa, as this is personal and sensitive, particularly while I am in the process of applying for a Green Card. The works listed as my most significant are outdated and do not reflect my recent or most impactful projects, especially those completed since relocating from Italy. It is also incorrect to state that I worked with Jon Fosse. While I performed in a production of Sonno, a play written by Fosse, the direction was by Valerio Binasco. The production received the Premio della Critica in 2010. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I invite you to consult the full biography available on my official website: https://silviabottini.com/bio/

Thank you very much for your time and understanding.

I sincerely appreciate your efforts in ensuring the accuracy and professionalism of the information being shared.

Warm regards,

Silvia Bottini --SBG2025 (talk) 15:01, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SBG2025, our main policy on this matter is Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Regarding using your website as a source, the policy on this is Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Using the subject as a self-published source. In general, it wouldn't be considered reliable, but it can be used for some information.

• My correct date of birth is October 10, not October 30 - the source in the article is https://web.archive.org/web/20241205002505/https://www.moviefone.com/celebrity/silvia-bottini/g9imEUUthbSl4hopXVH5T1/main/ which does indeed say you were born on the 30th October. In this case, you would not count as a reasonable source for this matter (because unfortunately people can lie about their age). However, per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of personal information and using primary sources, If a subject complains about our inclusion of their date of birth, or the person is borderline notable, err on the side of caution and simply list the year, provided that there is a reliable source for it. Accordingly I will remove the month and day.
• I was born in Varese, not in Malnate. Malnate is in Varese. In any case I have removed it from the article.
• I respectfully ask that my year of birth be removed. To my knowledge, the most I can do is remove the day and month - but I'm not entirely sure on this, so you may wish to ask at the Teahouse for further help on this.
• I would also like to request the removal of any information regarding the documentation used for my working visa, as this is personal and sensitive, particularly while I am in the process of applying for a Green Card. It is public information, see https://story.californiasunday.com/escape-your-meme/. However, as it's not particularly relevant to the article, I have removed it.
• The works listed as my most significant are outdated and do not reflect my recent or most impactful projects, especially those completed since relocating from Italy. - please submit an edit request with what you would like to change it to (and make sure to mention you are the subject of the article in the request).
• It is also incorrect to state that I worked with Jon Fosse. While I performed in a production of Sonno, a play written by Fosse, the direction was by Valerio Binasco. - it does not say you worked with Jon Fosse. It says you were cast in Fosse's Sonno (I have now corrected it), i.e. Sonno written by Fosse.
• The production received the Premio della Critica in 2010. If you can provide a source for this that is independent of you, I will happily add this to the article.

I am a self-published author and I teach my book on evolution in various senior colleges at the under graduate level. I have run across a particular Wiki page on Paul MacLean's triune brain theory that is very biased and it relies on journal articles that I have found to also be suspect.

My main concern is that both the wiki and the articles cited use "straw man" arguments that basically attribute to MacLean concepts that he does not state in his work, and then they attack these arguments. I went in and made some modifications that were then basically just over-ridden. I would like to see the wiki authors actually cite MacLean's work for their arguments, and not use their own opinions or the opinions of journal authors (who also mislead readers) with inaccurate comments on MacLeans - The Triune Brain in Evolution. Is there an impartial arbitrator that can be used to sort this out? Thanks. 71.169.191.235 (talk) 11:26, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

71.169.191.235, can I safely assume that you are the editor User:Mainelyevolution? You have never edited the article on this IP account.
In general, Wikipedia articles rely on secondary sources, whereas The Triune Brain in Evolution would be a primary source. If you can find some reliable secondary sources, it would probably be best to first discuss their addition on the talk page. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:05, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tbenny, you appear to have quite an obvious COI (highlighting it as one of the best eSIM-based carriers for value-conscious users seeking flexible plans without contracts or overage fees) - you have denied having a COI. It does not help your case for the article if you are dishonest. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:22, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback! I want to clarify again that I have no affiliation with the company and no conflict of interest. I completely understand how the way the PCMag quote was framed could read as overly promotional, and I’ve made further revisions to align more closely with the tone and sourcing style used for similar entries. Would appreciate any additional feedback you may have to share to ensure this article meets Wikipedia's standards. Tbenny (talk) 00:17, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tbenny, the only really decent reference is the Bloomberg article, and maybe the PCMag one, though that's just a review. That will not meet WP:NCORP. — Qwerfjkltalk 12:09, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm not entirely sure if this counts as a question, but I'm an American urban geographer who recently moved to the Netherlands, and I'm interested in working on adding/expanding articles about Dutch cities and public transportation, at least partly by translating articles from Dutch. So any advice on resources/connections that would be useful for that would be appreciated. I gather I should start by working on copy-editing existing articles first, though? --DWRowlands (talk) 09:14, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DWRowlands, I would recommend first editing articles in your field of interest to get a feel for how they're structured and how Wikipedia articles are generally written, as you say. You can try this search for public transport (or Category:Public transport in the Netherlands) and Category:Cities in the Netherlands for some articles.
If you want to try translation, you can also expand existing articles with content from the Dutch Wikipedia - see Help:Translation for details on translation. You could try articles from this search e.g. add information from nl:Station Duiven to Duiven railway station. Let me know if you have any other questions/need any more help. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:39, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

[edit]

WikiTextExpander by Polygnotus, is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.

Updated scripts

[edit]

• CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)
• NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?
• My prayers have been... answered? DreamRimmer/Search sort is a fork of PrimeHunter/Search sort that makes the 11 portlet links much smaller and nicer to look at.
• andrybak: Unsigned helper no longer shows an error when the message to sign was added in the earliest 50 revisions of a page's history. This is especially relevant to pages with short histories.

Newly maintained scripts

[edit]

• Cyberdog958/Superlinks finally fixes the famous Bradv/Superlinks to work with Vector 2022!

Improve a script

[edit]

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager and Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design. Someone could improve them...
• BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.

Requested scripts

[edit]

We need scripts that...

• allow sorting lists of citations such as by URI or other identifier
• automatically convert the capitalization of citations' titles
• collect a list of discussion participants and generate a ping list
• automate starting merge discussions
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

[edit]

In breaking m:Tech/News, Gadgets can now include .vue files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js, in particular using Codex, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons are now also available. The documentation has examples.

New scripts

[edit]

• Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.

• 

  Somewhat similar to WP:NavPops, Awesome Aasim/linkinfo (pictured) provides a collection of links to replace the right-click context menu, presented beautifully.
• Chaotic Enby/Recent Unblock Highlighter is the #1 WP:ROPE dispensary of the year. Admins exclusive, naturally.
• Chew/HighlightQuotes: Makes all text between double quotes have a yellow background. Shiny.
• Daniel Quinlan/RangeHelper allows you to treat IP ranges as users and calculate the smallest range that contains specific addresses IP.
• Dbeef/C+ allows CheckUsers to generate a {{sock list}} from the Special:CheckUser page. Its checkboxes make this task hassle-free.
• DreamRimmer has been working at it with the state-of-the-art Vue.js mw:Codex UI lately!
  • /CHUHelper and /EFFPRH reply to username-change and edit-filter requests, respectively.
  • /DraftNoCat deactivates the categories on a draft article. Dogs are better, really.

  • 

    /EasySubpage (pictured) creates subpages... easily!
  • TBanHelper warns you when your current page's title contains certain namespaces or keywords, sternly.
• DVRTed/multiContribs provides an aggregate view of the contributions of multiple users and a link at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations to automatically activate it with all users in a sockpuppet category.
• Edit7hesadparts/linkColorRandomizer turns your links rainbowy.
• Macaw*/noRefListAlert alerts you when the list of references is missing.
• Polygnotus
  • /DetectPromo is an interesting alternative to the classic Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable, though of course the word list is somewhat different, you'll see.
  • /DiscussionToolsDrafts gives you a centralized page to see automatically-saved DiscussionTools reply drafts, just like EditRecovery.
  • PreviousDiscussions provides a link to search for your username on subpages of another user's userpage and talkpage conveniently.
• Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.

No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.
