Qwerfjkl (bot) – Garlicbread1919

'''Page:''' ACDC_domain ↗


'''Diff:''' Special:Diff/1361599045 ↗


'''Comment/question:''' I am concerned that this is a false positive, it says the third name in the second source in the article is generic, but that's the actual listed author name from the source


Garlicbread1919 (talk) 00:01, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:Garlicbread1919, it appears to match "Reuters" in the name. You should surround the name with (( and )) to disable the error. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:22, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

If there is a Simple Wikipedia article but not a regular Wikipedia one, can I copy them over or not?

Eliszewa Binder has a Simple Wikipedia page https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsa_Binder with no sources. No regular Wikipedia page for Elsa Binder or Eliszewa Binder. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 03:47, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
:Muffinbutt1985, have you checked that the subject passes WP:NBIO ↗? — Qwerfjkltalk 07:25, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
::Her diary is in multiple anthologies and is an important source of info on the Stanislawów Ghetto and she’s discussed on the websites of several Holocaust museums. I think she qualifies at least as much as the other Holocaust diarists and almost all of them have entries. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 10:37, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Muffinbutt1985, but does she specifically meet the criteria in the link I gave? — Qwerfjkltalk 21:28, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
::::Never mind, I found her Wikipedia entry. Because the link I’d seen was to Simple English I thought she didn’t have a regular English Wikipedia entry but she does. I have added more stuff to it. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 05:55, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Qwerfjkl (bot) – John.v.otoole

'''Page:''' Prayer_of_Solomon ↗


'''Diff:''' Special:Diff/1362164528 ↗


'''Comment/question:''' Not sure what the generic source error is, and why this particular reference has been flagged and not the other reference which was very similar. Citing a bible, is it not enough to state the version (in this case the NRSV(UE) ) and a legal online source?


John.v.otoole (talk) 16:17, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
:John.v.otoole, the issue is the author you gave is the edition name, which is invalid. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:30, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
::But... i am not sure that i know the author of the NRSV(UE)... as i understand it it was constructed under an enormous panel of translators and editors... John.v.otoole (talk) 12:39, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Qwerfjkl (bot) – Daughter_of_Minerva

The notification was correct. However, I had already tried myself to correct it and asked for assistance. The problem is that I am new on Wikipedia and don't understand which information must be given to make sure the warning on the page will disappear. If there is a human behind this bot: please correct it in stead of me and explain how things work. I am very bad in software things.
'''Page:''' Lennox_sisters ↗. Correct

 No this is only link I have. It is already used on Wikipedia, but on another page (about the BBC series). I just tried to combine things to people will link inside Wikipedia to get more information. This particular page is in between two different perspectives: one is the BBC-drama (popular culture) and the other is the more academic biographical perspective of four aristocratic ladies who have individual pages on Wikipedia. I am old enough to have read the book in the 1990s and to have watch the BBC-series (and buy the companion) in 1999/2000, most Wikipedia-visitors will be too young for that.

'''Page:''' Alternatives_assessment ↗


'''Diff:''' Special:Diff/1362561927 ↗


'''Comment/question:''' Please stop spamming me with notifications for doing AI cleanup work involving reverting to previous article versions. This is making cleanup and counter-vandalism work extremely frustrating and I do not want to be interrupted every 15 seconds about problems in someone else's pre-existing work.


Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:21, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
:Gnomingstuff, the edit didn't have the revert tag so there's no straightfoward way for me to tell if it's a revert. There are instructions on the bot's userpage for disabling the notifications; perhaps I should add a message conveying that information in the bot's message? — Qwerfjkltalk 21:35, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
::Possibly. Unfortunately since these are almost never the most recent edit there is not really much I can do besides manually revert. Gnomingstuff (talk) 22:04, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard

Hi, Qwerfjkl. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard ↗. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the {{slink|WP:Mentorship noticeboard|Survey|nopage=yes}} when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 01:00, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

'''Comment/question:'''
It says that there's no title to the article I used as a citation. The citation in question was "https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/49277378/usmnt-folarin-balogun-red-card-suspended-belgium". I believe ESPN to be a reliable source. The name of the article, right at the top, is "USMNT's Folarin Balogun has red card suspended by FIFA, striker available to face Belgium". If you click the link, you will see.

For example, an issue where the search bar results on Wikidata, showed English results instead of using the correct language fallback for users of language variants, has now been fixed. Search suggestions will now follow the expected language fallback chain. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429769 ↗

'''Updates for technical contributors'''

In preparation for Celebrate Women campaign ↗ planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Content Enablement team ↗ has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The questions ↗ are also available on-wiki for review in advance.

The Score extension ↗ now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing feature request ↗ and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>src</nowiki></code></bdi> attribute and SVG in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>srcset</nowiki></code></bdi> attribute.

The new Parsoid ↗ parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis ↗, making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week.

Question from Muffinbutt1985 (06:31, 10 July 2026)

So on this page it says there is a book about the guy slated for publication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dorsey_Swann Well, the citation is for an article from 2018 about the pending publication but it looks like for whatever reason the book never got published; I cannot find it listed on Amazon etc and it’s been sic years. (Seems a shame as this was an interesting fellow who definitely deserves a book about him. I was going to add the book to my to read list.)

I would like to edit the entry to explain the book didn’t get published, but I don’t know how to cite that; it’s not like they put out a statement saying “we decided not to publish after all”. There were press releases about publication and then just… no book. --Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 06:31, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
:Muffinbutt1985, do you mean "The House of Swann: Where Slaves Became Queens"? If so, it appears to be on Amazon ↗, albeit unavailable to purchase. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:04, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
::It’s not available for purchase ANYWHERE. It is registered with several major bookstores but not a single one has a single copy in stock, because the publisher never actually put the book out. There isn’t even a photo of the book cover in any of the bookstore listings. That’s what I meant by “can’t find it.”
::I’ve seen this happen before, bookstore and even library catalog listings for books that don’t exist. Publishers get bookstore catalog listings for books in advance of publication. This book has not been published. If it had been, there would at least be cover art for it. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 10:10, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Muffinbutt1985, if all we have is speculation, then there's nothing to be done, I'm afraid. — Qwerfjkltalk 13:24, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
::::I’m going to put something on the talk page about it because I am extremely sure the book doesn’t exist. I did some more “original research” and the book is not mentioned on the author’s Instagram either. Has a “my writings” part on his Instagram with screenshots of articles about Swann, but no book. The book never came out. Muffinbutt1985 (talk) 16:50, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
