Talk to me, Andy Mabbett
- If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on this page to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
- If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here (but do feel free to drop a copy of {{Talkback}} here).
- If appropriate, I will move discussion from here to the relevant article's talk page, so that anyone interested can join in.
- If you want to start a new discussion thread, please start it at the bottom of the page. Better still, use the "new section" tab next to the "edit this page" tab, or the link at the foot of this section, either of which will do that automatically.
- Please do not make links from within section headings.
- Inaccessible HTML (coloured text, "small" tags, etc.) will be removed from this page on sight.
- Please sign and date your entries by inserting four tildes (~~~~) at the end.
- Start a new discussion.

Manual Interwiki links
Hey! I had this discussion with Montanabw concerning an edit I've made which added a manual Interwiki link to another Wiki (in this case, linked Airs above the ground to the section concerning that topic in the Hungarian Misplaced Pages). She reverted and said I should talk to you about why manual links have proven to be difficult and are not really appreciated anymore. Whilst not being informed about technichal issues, I still believe that for user-friendliness, it is actually quite nice to link to all other articles, although other Wikis may have different syntax. Still, it would be a shame to have thousands of unlinked articles just because they do not have an exact counter-part in any other Wiki... Anyways, I can also see the difficulties (Wikidata being easy to overwatch and make changes to), manual links probably being very hard on maintanance... Still would be very grateful for an explanation from your side. Meanwhile, all the best to you, --Fallen Sheep (talk) 10:25, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- I was pinged in that discussion. The matter now seems resolved. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:43, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Tech News: 2017-10
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
- You can now search on English, French, Hebrew and Greek wikis and find words even if you forget the diacritics. It also works if you use diacritics in your search but the wiki doesn't.
- When you use the mobile view and click on a link to an article in another language you will see that article in the mobile view. Previously it changed to the desktop view.
Problems
- Some watchlist gadgets didn't work for a period of time last week. This has now been fixed.
- Admins who click on "mass delete" on a user's Special:Contributions will be taken directly to a list pages created by that user. It has worked like this before, but not lately.
Changes this week
- The way you switch between wikitext and the visual editors in the desktop view has changed. It is now a drop-down menu. This is the same as in the mobile view.
- The "flag the edit in the abuse log" checkbox will be removed from the abuse filter interface. This is because the edits are always flagged in the abuse log.
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 March. It will be on non-Misplaced Pages wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 March. It will be on all wikis from 9 March (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 March at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Clarification
- The 2017/09 issue of Tech News mentioned 3D file formats you can soon upload to Commons. The AMF format will be available later.

Transfer of 3 scholarly translations of Quran and Hadiths from Tufts University host, bot?
Hi Andy, @RexxS and I would appreciate your input or guidance on this, because it would be a valuable resource to host as wikisource or wherever appropriate. The University of Southern California used to host the translations, "Template:cite quran" pointed there, but USC archive is dead since January 2017. Tufts hosts all three under Creative Commons license, and it would be a loss if they someday go the USC way for whatever reason. Thanks, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 15:10, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

The Bugle: Issue CXXXI, March 2017

The Bugle is published by the Military history WikiProject. To receive it on your talk page, please join the project or sign up here.

Michael Cole
POTW, I also think Mohammed al-Fayed's former spokesman Michael Cole is notable enough for an article, but Cole has written about his travails over the former Misplaced Pages article for a certain newspaper/website which is developing a fixation on this project. I make it four M--- articles in the last ten days. By the way, Cole in that non-reliable source, appears unaware the article has been revived. And his commissioning editor too. Philip Cross (talk)
You created Michael Cole (public relations) yet a "Michael Cole" in the Daily Mail blasts Misplaced Pages about an article on him but it seems to be unrelated:
--Penbat (talk) 13:48, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not POTW, but it is the same person. Checking the web, and possible variants (see the school's article), I found Cole's article is the main source indicating he went to Preston Manor County Grammar School; a common problem with people whose highest profile pre-dates the web is finding good sources. But note the point I make above. Philip Cross (talk) 14:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- The school is not mentioned in the article I wrote. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:25, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Don't believe everything you read in the Daily Mail. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:24, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Andy, have you read the deletion discussion for the earlier version of the Michael Cole article, including his letter to OTRS? Despite the dare I say typical exaggeration in the Daily Mail article, he comes across as quite reasonable and (being unable to read the deleted article) I found the deletion arguments reasonable. With the exception of the unfortunate "gnat's belly" phrasing, of course. Are you sure this is going to be worth the predictable emotion, and that it's not largely inherited notability? I'm surprised to see his company website still up, since he says in the letter that he wound it up and took the BBC position. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have not read, nor can I, any such OTRS correspondence. The deletion arguments to which you refer are not about the article I wrote. Cole clearly meets our notability requirements, and passes the minimum by quite a good margin. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:28, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Michael Cole (public relations): OTRS correspondence evidently reproduced with permission. Julia\ 10:32, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Note: The above comment has been modified, after I replied to it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I received an e-mail saying my comment had been partially oversighted, and waited for them to decide whether to oversight what's at the deletion discussion. There's a lengthy statement by the article subject reproduced there by permission in which he sounds reasonable, but which conflicts with what's on-line elsewhere and what you put in your replacement article. Hence my asking wether you'd read the deletion discussion. Yngvadottir (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- I have not read, nor can I, any such OTRS correspondence. The deletion arguments to which you refer are not about the article I wrote. Cole clearly meets our notability requirements, and passes the minimum by quite a good margin. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:28, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
I have deleted the article per WP:G4. While your article was newly written, not a copy of the previous one, it changed nothing about the reason the previous one was deleted and didn't indicate sufficient additional notability or changed circumstancse to have the article now. Feel free to take this to WP:DRV instead to get the previous AfD overturned, but until then please don't recreate such articles. Fram (talk) 14:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Fram: Well, now please promptly undelete it. As I noted on the talk page, G4 explicitly excludes articles that
"are not substantially identical to the deleted version"
. Your "please don't recreate such articles" is entirely outwith policy, and therefore rejected. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)- An article deleted for BLP reasons, at the request of the article subject, should not be recreated without additional reasons to do so (the subject having gained further notability since the deletion). No such reasons were present here, so the article should not have been recreated. Fram (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Fram: Your claims are still outwith policy, but in any case are irrelevant, since I did have "additional reasons". Now please restore it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, and FWIW, I have policy on my side: WP:BLPDELETE says "After the deletion, any administrator may choose to protect it against re-creation. Even if the page is not protected against re-creation, it should not be re-created unless a consensus is demonstrated in support of re-creation." (bolding mine).
- G4 explicitly excludes articles that
"are not substantially identical to the deleted version"
(bolding mine). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:15, 14 March 2017 (UTC)- Then replace G4 with G6 or IAR: the BLP policy trumps speedy deletion reasons. Anyway, like I said, feel free to take this to DRV to argue your case, the chance of you convincing me here that I should undelete this, contrary to BLPDELETE, is minimal. Fram (talk) 15:18, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
- G4 explicitly excludes articles that
- An article deleted for BLP reasons, at the request of the article subject, should not be recreated without additional reasons to do so (the subject having gained further notability since the deletion). No such reasons were present here, so the article should not have been recreated. Fram (talk) 15:11, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Cole (public relations)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Michael Cole (public relations), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Nfitz (talk) 23:54, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I do chuckle whenever a highly experienced and knowledgeable editor is told to read "the guide to writing your first article". Ritchie333 21:27, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
BLP discretionary sanctions notification
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.I'm making sure that you're aware that discretionary sanctions are applicable in this area, because you recreated the article Michael Cole (public relations) without first establishing a consensus for its recreation per WP:BLPDELETE. In my view that action was needlessly disruptive given the likely controversy that would result from recreating (without prior consensus) an article deleted at AfD following a request from the subject of that article. Sanctions may be imposed if you breach WP:BLPDELETE again. WJBscribe (talk) 12:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- (watching, alerted) I often recreate deleted articles, so would like to know for my safety: where would I have seen in this case or others that it was deleted per this WP:BLPDELETE. I believe that if it is not documented in the deletion log or the deletion discussion, users can not be held responsible for not knowing about it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:45, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- @WJBscribe: If you think I'm in breach of such sanctions, take it to Arbcom. Otherwise, keep your patronising advice to yourself. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:04, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

synthesizer on "Summer 68"
Hi. In your book "Pink Floyd - The music and the mystery" (Omnibus Press, 2010) p.101, you assert the brass in Pink Floyd's "Summer 68" is played on a synthesizer. Surely this is a mistake? Ritchie333 21:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
