Question from Sameerpeace (11:15, 8 July 2025)
[edit]How do I submit an article from sandbox to public? Thanks --Sameerpeace (talk) 11:15, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Sameerpeace The basic instructions are here. Do you want me to take a look at your draft and offer any feedback on it before moving it to live article space? FULBERT (talk) 12:42, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, that'd be great if you can look at the article and provide feedback on it. Sameerpeace (talk) 13:29, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- Also I don't see the, "Move" buttton under tools. I read somewhere that my account has to be 4 days old and I should do 10 edits to any article before I publish, is this still valid? Thanks! Sameerpeace (talk) 13:30, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Sameerpeace Yes, that is still accurate. FULBERT (talk) 14:11, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Sameerpeace Please send me a link to it. FULBERT (talk) 14:11, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, this is the link, it's still in sandbox though.

- @Sameerpeace This looks fine overall. To confirm, this is not an article you wrote about yourself, correct? If not, then let me know, and I can move it to the live article space, where it will then go for new page review. FULBERT (talk) 10:20, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks a ton for the review, I just edited and added few more authentic links (Bloomberg, TechInAsia) references. And, no, this is an article I wrote about myself.
- Also, I was wondering if there is a way to add this picture to the article. I tried to do it, but I was getting flagged by Wikipedia.
- https://www.sameerahmedkhan.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Sameer-Hero-Image-1159x2048.png
- Thanks a ton again for all the help. Sameerpeace (talk) 15:24, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- I just noticed that my sandbox article was marked for speedy deletion. Is there any specific reason for that? Thanks! Sameerpeace (talk) 14:46, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Sameerpeace I am sorry to see your article draft was deleted. I am not sure why, but on the sandbox page here it states you should reach out to the editor who did the deletion and ask about it. Click the link here to find what existed there, and then click the Talk page link for the editor, BusterD, and ask them about what happened. Be sure to be respectful and civil per WP:PILLARS and see what response they provide. FULBERT (talk) 15:07, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Sameerpeace It also appears that when this was done, another editor commented on your own Talk page about this, so you may want to see what they said there. FULBERT (talk) 15:08, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, @FULBERT! If you'll help me understand what non-free content caused you to attach the tag to the above article, I'll take care of it. As it is, though, I have no idea what to do. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 19:35, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Oona Wikiwalker This is almost word for word from this source, which must be changed as soon as possible and restated in your own words and then still cite this source. As it stands right now, it is plagiarism. FULBERT (talk) 20:43, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not going to rewrite this; there are too many copyright violations to deal with. What I WILL do, though, is remove the content, if appropriate. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 22:01, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- Kudos to you for tagging that, @FULBERT! <3 Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 22:14, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Oona Wikiwalker Nice that it was removed, but now it only has a single source and would likely fail Notability of People per WP:BIO. Can two or three Verifiable WP:V and Reliable WP:RELIABLE sources be added to demonstrate notability WP:N? FULBERT (talk) 12:49, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- @FULBERT, why don't you rewrite it? In the time it took you to think about this and write it, you could have made progress on making that page better. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:38, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Why after completing "Add links between articles" I still get the same articles that I already edited suggested? --Davro11 (talk) 19:32, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, okay I think I got it, I only edited a part of the article. Davro11 (talk) 19:38, 9 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Davro11 Great; let me know if you have other questions. FULBERT (talk) 22:49, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Did you know?
- Query examples:
- Top album languages found on Wikidata right now source
- The names of the characters from Asterix & Obélix, in French, English, German, Latin and some other languages (source)
- Map the global distribution of periodicals in publication languages from the Eastern Mediterranean (Arabic, Ottoman, Greek, Ladino, Coptic etc) (source)

- Showcase Lexemes: reference (L5785) - English noun/verb (ˈɹɛf.ɹəns) meaning "source citation", "supporting document", or "relationship"
Development
- Wikibase REST API: We started work on the simple Property prefix search phab:(T397838)
- Mobile statement editing: We continued the work on the basics with viewing of statements (phab:T394886])
- Search: Fixed a bug when pasting into the search box (phab:T397608)
- Integration in Wikipedia and co:
- We began research into current limits for collapsing entity usage. (Basically when an article uses more data from an Item than the configured limit then we consider all data on that Item to be used. This is done for infrastructure reasons.) We’d like to improve this to further reduce unnecessary Wikidata changes showing up on watchlist and recent changes on Wikipedia and co.
- We will roll out showing labels instead of IDs in Wikidata edits in watchlist and recent changes to more wikis later this week.
You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.
Weekly Tasks
- Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.
- Contribute to the showcase Item and Lexeme above.

- Summarize your WikiProject's ongoing activities in one or two sentences.
- Help translate or proofread the interface and documentation pages, in your own language!

Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure
See also newsletters: Wikimedia Apps · Growth · Research · Web · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia · Tech News · Language and Internationalization · other newsletters on MediaWiki.org
- Tech News: Temporary accounts have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese; The CampaignEvents extension has been enabled on all Wikipedias. More updates from Tech News week 27 and 28.
- AbuseFilter: AbuseFilter maintainers can now match against IP reputation data in AbuseFilters. IP reputation data is information about the proxies and VPNs associated with the user’s IP address. This data is not shown publicly and is not generated for actions performed by registered accounts.
- Favorite Templates: A new feature related to Template Recall and Discovery will be deployed to all Wikimedia projects: a template category browser will be introduced to assist users in finding templates to put in their “favourite” list. The browser will allow users to browse a list of templates which have been organised into a given category tree. The feature has been requested by the community through the Community Wishlist.
- Wikipedia App: We have launched an A/B test of tabbed browsing in the Wikipedia iOS app. This feature allows users to open multiple articles in separate tabs, making it easier to switch between topics, explore, and return to previous reading spots. The test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. We’re collecting feedback and plan to make the feature more widely available soon.
- MediaWiki: The MediaWiki Platform team has introduced a unified Built-in Notifications system, as part of MediaWiki 1.44, that makes it easier for developers to send, manage, and customize notifications across the platform.
