I would like to clarify that the "complaints" are coming from one disgruntled user. If this is going to not be a one-sided attack on me as a maintainer, then I think it is only fair to also reference that I responded to this one user's comments and questions many times before resorting to removing his comments. Here are some examples where I gave technical or aesthetic justifications: https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/pull/950 https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/issues/964 https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/issues/965 https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/pull/952#issuecomment-223105675 https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/issues/959 The comments I removed were all in later tickets: https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/issues/983 https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/isdsues/986 https://github.com/coleifer/peewee/issues/980 I've maintained this project for 6+ years and have never had any issue except with this one individual. The statement as it currently is, does not correctly represent the situation. The truth is that I removed this one users comments because they were not constructive, and I was tired of having to defend aspects of my project because he felt entitled to a technical discussion because he happened to disagree with it. When I pointed out to him that the things he disagreed with were documented and obviously intentional (via git log), he suggested I was trying to justify, post-hoc, bad design decisions, and was being an irresponsible maintainer. How is that constructive? Furthermore, how is this anything more than one disgruntled user's opinion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.248.188.137 (talk) 21:40, 22 June 2016 (UTC) Here are some comments from other users of the project: arikfr noticed this as well: > I follow Peewee for a long time now. I read every bug report, pull request, comment, etc. I never seen Charles react before like he has with you. Charles explained what bothered him with the issues you opened. You might not agree, but you shouldn't ignore that. Here's another user on hackernews: > Peewee [1] is my tool of choice because of its convenience and flexibility combined. I can create pretty complex queries using its Query API, but also execute arbitrary queries when I know I need something a little more nonstandard. Plus the maintainer (Charles Leifer) is an awesome dude who has always been really helpful to his users. And another: > PeeWee and the maintainer Charles Leifer are both very awesome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.248.188.137 (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2016 (UTC) Welcome to the Hall of Fame!

Persian Gulf Hi Raju, the name of "Persian Gulf" is internatinally and legally recognized by all countries and United Nations (refer to UN website). Reference to any name other than "Persian Gulf" to the body of water is illegal. Wikipedia shall also use the legalized name of "Persian Gulf". Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.36.212.11 (talk) 05:56, 25 June 2016 (UTC) Hi 37.36.212.11, I agree with you, that body of water should be called "Persian Gulf", but you're editing the name of a football league, that was named "Arabian Gulf" after a company called "ARABIAN GULF DEVELOPMENT (L.L.C)" for sponsorship reasons, I hope you come to your senses.

You can: Nominate an article • Review nominations Posted by: MusikBot talk 00:07, 27 June 2016 (UTC) using MediaWiki message delivery (talk) on behalf of WikiProject TAFI • Tech News: 2016-26 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 The ORES service has now moved to a new location. This should make it easier to use ORES. The ORES review service is now available as a beta feature on Wikidata and Persian Wikipedia. ORES is an artificial intelligence system for Wikimedia wikis to help editors. [6] The order of wikis in collapsed cross-wiki notifications was different than when the list was expanded. This is now fixed. [7] A new category for tracking pages with math errors was added: Category:Pages with math errors. [8] Problems The Wikimedia Etherpad crashed on June 23. Some edits done that day have been lost. They can be found at etherpad-restore.wikimedia.org for another few days. [9][10] Changes this week The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 June. It will be on all wikis from 30 June (calendar). The way to mark notifications as read or unread will be changed to be more clear. [11] 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 28 June at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join. Future changes The Collaboration team at the Wikimedia Foundation will look at developing better tools for edit review. This is because research suggests we scare away newcomers who want to help. [12] An e-mail from the Editing Department explains the technical work that is planned and being researched for the future. Items include better wikitext and visual editing, prompts for edits, language improvements, annotations, and meta-data separation. [13] The sorting of Notifications into the two fly-out menus is going to change on July 5 to 7. Bundled notifications should be easier to explore and mark as read individually. [14][15][16] From 29 June git.wikimedia.org (running Gitblit) will redirect all requests to Phabricator. The vast majority of requests should be correctly redirected. [17] Catalan and Polish Wikipedias will have Wikidata descriptions added to articles in the mobile view by default. This is currently a beta option for the mobile versions. This might come to other wikis later.

I sent copyright verification about book covers for my series (File:THE_TRAVELLER_CHRONICLES_-_cover.pdf and File:Zak_Standridge_-_Traveller_-_Mr_Blue_-_Cover_2ND_EDITION.pdf.

It's quick and easy to insert a references list. Place the cursor where you want to display the references list (usually at the bottom of the page). Open the "Insert" menu and click the "References list" icon (three books). If you are using several groups of references, which is relatively rare, you will have the opportunity to specify the group. If you do that, then only the references that belong to the specified group will be displayed in this list of references. Finally, click "Insert" in the dialog to insert the References list. This list will change as you add more footnotes to the page. You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor. Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources. Recent changes The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews. The single edit tab feature combines the "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Editing" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people. Future changes The "Save page" button will say "Publish page". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta. The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others. The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966) The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list. Let's work together Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce. Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language!

Thursday, June 30 saw the end of the 2016 GA Cup. It was a huge success. In the final, our five competitors reviewed an astonishing 207 articles, the most in any GA Cup final thus far. We continue to reach our goals and make a substantial impact in how quickly articles are reviewed for GA status. On March 1, the start of this competition, the article longest in the queue had languished there since June 26, 2015 [19]; in the July 1, 2016 list, the average wait length is just four months [20]. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for their enthusiasm, and for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success. Remember that most articles can't even be considered for FA status unless it's been passed to GA first, so our efforts have created hundreds of potentials FAs. That is, as they say, a big deal. The final this time represented a real horse race between our 1st and 2nd place winners. First-time competitor (who had won all previous rounds) Sainsf earned an impressive 1456 points with 91 articles reviewed during the final. Close behind, in second place was Carbrera, also a first-time competitor, reviewed the most articles (94). Their enthusiasm was a treat to witness. Congrats to you both! The competition went relatively smoothly, with very little drama this time. We had to clarify one rule: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We were strict about adhering to this clarification, especially at the end of the final. We intend on stressing it in the stated rules for our next competition, which will be announced soon, so watch out for it. We also intend on applying for a grant through Wikimedia to include gift certificates for our winners, to further incentivize the GA Cup. MrWooHoo should receive special recognition for acting as our main judge, and for stepping in for the rest of the judges when real-life busyness took over. He reviewed the majority of the submissions during our final round. Thanks for your hard work, and for the hard work of all our judges. We look forward to the next competition. Again, thanks to all our competitors, and congrats to our winners. Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:26, 2 July 2016 (UTC) Help Me Hello @CAPTIANRAJU, you have kept my page Suntalilai Bhagai Lagyo Jhilkele for Speedy Deletion.
