== COVID-19 pandemic data ==

Hi. It is good to know that you are in the process of letting your bot update [[Template:COVID-19 pandemic data|this template]]. It is not perfect, but it should be the best solution moving forward because it is becoming more tedious to do manual updates. Will there be some major changes to the current layout of the template? Also, will government sources remain in place? '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 16:50, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

:@[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]: Thanks for asking. The primary reason that I have not yet created a replacement for [[Template:COVID-19 pandemic data]] is that the JSON data is updated by a bot ([[User:TolBot/Task 5|TolBot Task 5]]), which sources all data from [[Our World in Data]] (OWID), which does not include data on recoveries. Therefore, country recoveries data would need to be individually programmed into the bot. In the future, I plan to source as much data as possible directly from countries (eliminating the middleman of OWID and potentially JHU), but OWID is extremely easy to work with (and so will be the fallback). I will create an automatically updated version after I get most countries sourced directly (which will preserve references to government sources). [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 17:45, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
::Thanks. Hopefully, this can convince other editors that manual updates are no longer necessary. Will TolBot be programmed to edit the template directly, or will data from a subpage be transcluded? '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 03:43, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
:::@[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]: It's a bit complicated — it'll invoke [[Module:COVID-19 data]], which creates table contents from parameters passed to it, and uses JSON data from [[Template:COVID-19 data/data]]. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 03:57, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
::::I hope that automated updates can be implemented soon. In the meantime, are there other ways to convince other editors that updates do not need to be made "on time"? There is at least one other editor who keeps on updating several countries immediately after those countries release their daily figures, but most of the time, the difference between the numbers is insignificantly small. Also, several countries do not release their daily figures at the same time every day. '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 03:10, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]: When I implement getting data directly from countries, it will update (probably) twice daily. There's nothing wrong with updating immediately — it's probably not an effective way of spending time, but if an editor wishes to do that, there's nothing we can do to prevent it. The numbers themselves aren't exactly immediate; often, they include tests or vaccinations from a few days ago that took a while to be reported. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 18:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
::::::If an editor is updating one or two countries immediately, then there is no problem. However, if he or she is updating several countries, then doing updates immediately is not practical. There are too many sources to look at and several countries do not update their numbers at the same time every day. Perhaps recoveries can be removed from the table because many countries do not report recoveries. Also, I am open to using OWID as the source for the entire template because several media organisations also use OWID as their source. '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 03:26, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]: If recoveries were removed, I could make a replacement within a day. The main reason that it's taking so long is that OWID does not report recoveries and so I need to source them separately. Personally, I think that they aren't particularly necessary. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 18:16, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
::::::::I will be glad to support that because it will make implementation easier. Some countries report only estimates while others have changed their way of counting recoveries at least once. However, we do not know yet if other editors will also agree. '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 07:13, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::::::I think that you can already proceed with the implementation even without including the recoveries and the different government sources. The reason for removing those can be easily understood because that is how OWID presents their data. Those can be added again in the future, but for now, we can do without those. '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 15:53, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
::::::::::{{ping|LSGH}} I created [[User:Phoenix7777/sandbox/COVID-19 pandemic data]] without recoveries. If you gain consensus, I can move it to [[Template:COVID-19 pandemic data]] along with [[Module:Sandbox/Phoenix7777/COVID-19 data]].―― [[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]] ([[User talk:Phoenix7777|talk]]) 12:31, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
{{od|11}} [[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]]: Just so that you know, [[Module:COVID-19 data]] already lets you limit columns and countries. I made a version at [[Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/sandbox]] which uses the standard [[Module:COVID-19 data]]. Limiting things by passing parameters is usually preferable to hard-coding it. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 18:33, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
:As a follow-up, for efns/notes, they should preferably be added in the JSON ([[Template:COVID-19 data/data]]) so that it can be viewed across multiple templates. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 18:37, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
::I didn't notice the column parameter!! as I am a beginner of Lua. As for the footnotes, they should not be in the code, because it should be edited by editors. So I moved <nowiki>{{notelist}}</nowiki> out of the module so that footnotes can be placed in the template page. I even hesitate to include <nowiki>{{efn|name=country}}</nowiki> in the code. If someone wish to add a footnote to a country, we should change the Lua module.―― [[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]] ([[User talk:Phoenix7777|talk]]) 21:13, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]]: A core point of the JSON-based tables is that they should not be edited by editors (other than style changes); only the JSON should be edited. Adding a note (in JSON) under the country (as <code>note</code>) will show up in the table as a footnote. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 21:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
::::What are you reffering to "JSON"? [[Template:COVID-19 data/data]] is machine generated. Is there a separate "JSON" file for notes for countries? {{pb}} By the way, Could you add "people_fully_vaccinated_per_hundred" to [[Template:COVID-19 data/data]] so that I can add "people_fully_vaccinated" and it to [[Template:COVID-19 vaccination data]]?.―― [[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]] ([[User talk:Phoenix7777|talk]]) 22:11, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]]: I can add that (it'll probably be in the JSON as <code>percent_fully_vaccinated</code>), but I advise against changing the template. [[Template:COVID-19 vaccination data]] is special (and uses a custom function, <code>vac()</code>). Instead of using multiple columns, it uses one column (including for sorting): people vaccinated, which falls back to total doses and then to people fully vaccinated. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 22:48, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::@[[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]]: It's machine ''updated'', not ''generated''. Using JSON enables the bot to update the data without overwriting anything added in by another user. This way, you can add notes in the JSON (which the bot will not touch). [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 22:50, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
::::::I don't know general readers wish to see the fully vaccinated columns, but I personally wish to see them. I appreciate it if you add "people_fully_vaccinated_per_hundred" to [[Template:COVID-19 data/data]]. As for the footnotes, I understood the structure of the JSON file. My concern is whether ordinal editors can edit the JSON file or not. My current scheme is acceptable for editors because footnotes are in the template page, but still some part (<nowiki>{{efn|name=country}}</nowiki>) is in the code. {{ping|LSGH}}'s opinion is appreciated.―― [[User:Phoenix7777|Phoenix7777]] ([[User talk:Phoenix7777|talk]]) 23:39, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
:::::::Thanks. The proposed replacement looks good, though I could not comment on the Lua or JSON codes that are being used. I think that generic footnotes would not be suitable because the footnotes should be unique for each situation where they are needed. For example, some countries include data for unrecognised states whose territories they claim, but generic footnotes cannot identify which unrecognised states are being referred to. Are the names of the countries and territories intended to be aligned to the left? '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 17:23, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
::::::::To clarify, I'm fine with either (preferably) putting the notes in the JSON as done with <code>note_vaccination</code> for [[Template:COVID-19 vaccination data]] or passing notes to the module via its invocation (with a parameter like <code>|notes=</code>). Notes absolutely should not be hardcoded into the module. Putting them in the JSON is more flexible, as it's there for any reusers and any other templates.

:::::::::That can be better. Only the necessary footnotes need to appear in each template where the JSON will be used. '''[[User:LSGH|LSGH]]''' ([[User talk:LSGH|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/LSGH|contributions]]) 01:23, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tol. Your account has been added to the "<code>New page reviewers</code>" user group. Please check back at [[WP:PERM]] in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation  system and mark them as [[meta:Help:Patrolled edit|patrolled]], tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|'''New Pages Feed''']]. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you '''must''' read the  tutorial at [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|New Pages Review]], the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''new page reviewer talk page''']]. In addition, please remember:
*[[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|Be nice to new editors]]. They are [[WP:AGF|usually]] not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do  make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for  maintenance so  that  they are aware.
*You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
*If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
*Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible. 
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

== Checking In: InMoment Page ==

Hi Tol. My name is Ian, I submitted a Wikipedia draft for the company InMoment (my email is icoppock@gmail.com, the account under which I'm creating the page bears the username 1nM4W0). The page was submitted on July 2nd but rejected for not meeting certain content guidelines. I have edited the page and believe it is now compliant. I wanted to check in with you to see if someone could take a look at the page, submit any additional feedback, and (hopefully) publish it to Wikipedia proper. Thank you! Ian [[User:1nM4W0|1nM4W0]] ([[User talk:1nM4W0|talk]]) 16:41, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
:Hello [[User:1nM4W0|Ian]]! I believe you are referring to [[Draft:InMoment]]. [[WP:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia|Wikipedia is an encyclopedia]], and its articles should be written in an encyclopedic tone. The paragraph beginning with "Type: Private" is not written in complete sentences, and would be better suited for an [[WP:infobox|infobox]]. I've done some formatting and cleanup for you. You need more [[WP:references|references]] to [[WP:reliable sources|reliable sources]], and references to web content should include a URL. Like my decline reason said, you should show that the company passes our [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for organisations and companies]]. You should also work on tone — among other phrases and clauses, "Recognizing the opportunity to evolve to the next level" is nothing but promotional.

::Hi Tol, thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate you putting that information in an Infobox, that's what I was attempting to accomplish with formatting. I've removed the promotional language you mentioned, such as the whole "next level" bit in reference to our CEO. I guess my next question is why some or all of my sources aren't considered appropriate? I've checked my company's competitor Wikipedia pages and, at least in my opinion, a lot of them are very similar to what I currently have listed as references. I'll check the guidelines for whether my company is reputable enough to be on Wikipedia, but considering that we had a Wiki page for many years until a disgruntled employee's implemented edits forced its takedown, I believe we're qualified to have a page back once again. I also believe that our numerous awards, accolades, and leadership rankings speak for our notability too. Let me know if there's anything else I need to consider before I re-submit for approval.

:::[[User:1nM4W0|Ian]], no problem! As for notability, awards generally do not show something to be notable. You can read [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)]] for more information. I recommend trying to get the best one or two references for each statement. Good references should demonstrate significant coverage (an article about the company is much better than one that mentions it in passing) in reliable sources (''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' is far better than a blog). For me to evaluate whether the company is notable, could you list what you think are the best references that demonstrate notability?

::::Here is an example of a link I believe fits the bill you're putting forth: https://salestechstar.com/sales-engagement/inmoments-xi-technology-platform-named-2020-innovation-award-winner-for-experience-improvement/ I do see a source or two that I'm happy to remove because they do indeed only mention us in passing, but to me the rest of these seem to be suitable based on what I've read and what you're telling me. I'm also seeing similar sources on our competitors' Wikipedia pages. Not all of our sources are as high-profile as the Wall Street Journal, but they're credible sources of information within our niche industry.

==Adding hatnotes to new disambiguation pages==
Hey. First of all, I just to want to say I appreciate your work in reviewing new disambiguation pages I create so quickly. I do have one gripe, however; I've noticed you're updating hatnotes sometimes mere seconds later (it's happened twice in the last 12 hours – first with [[Everybody Hurts (disambiguation)|this one]] and about 10 minutes ago with [[Sam Gilbert (disambiguation)|this one]]). Please note in future that when I create disambiguation pages, I do intend on adding hatnotes to the top of the related primary topic's page immediately after. I know you're probably trying to help, but it's just a little annoying to have my edits interrupted by conflicting ones.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

Please join [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#AFC_reviewer_Olaf_Kosinsky|''this discussion'']] - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]]. Even our review systems themselves at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|AfC]] and [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|NPR]] have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

[[WP:COPYVIO|Copyright violations]] are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most  of our  Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but  there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Copyright_violations_(WP:COPYVIO)|'''here''']].

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.  

There are currently '''706''' New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers. 

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue.  If you would like to manage this, please let us know.

Just a side issue on your article creation tool. I haven't seen it in action, but could you make sure it adds a suitable short description per [[WP:SDCONTENT]] to each new article? My bot [[User:ShortDescBot|ShortDescBot]] has completed its run adding short descriptions to organism articles that were missing them.

== Edit to [[John Brown Gordon]] article ==

Hi,

In choosing to revert my recent edit of the article on John Brown Gordon, I am puzzled by your reasoning.  Since my edit was to simplify/clarify language, I am not certain what sort of citation or reference you would like to see.  Are you looking for a dictionary citation to "prove" word meaning?

And since the main point of my edit was to remove ambiguous/confusing language, how exactly would you propose that I document that with historical sources?  I would appreciate if you could give me a little more to go on.  Thanks.

Tol. After seeing what you did with [[Template:COVID-19 vaccination data]] and [[meta:User:TolBot/Task 5]] I was wondering if you would be interested in creating a bot to handle the daily updating of this template:
*[[Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates]]

Is the Task 5 bot completely automatic now? Do you have to initiate the daily update? Or does it happen on its own now? 

I help edit [[Help:Table]]. Maybe you could write up a section with some short instructions on how to use a bot to do regular updates of a table. The broad strokes of how it works, and who to contact to create the bots. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 16:31, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

:@[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]]: Hello! TolBot Task 5 is entirely automatic, and runs every day at 14:00 server time via [[crontab]]. Case fatality rate could be calculated by deaths/cases, and I can add deaths per million, which deaths per hundred thousand can be calculated from. In the future, I think it would be better to store data like this on [[:d:|Wikidata]], which is better suited to it, so I don't plan to implement another data updating task like this (with JSON data stored on Wikipedia). I'll work on implementing automatic updates for that template!

::I forgot to mention that there is an expanded table (same data) also:<br />[[Template:COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country]]<br />The editors just copy the table from this source:<br />https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality<br />I don't think the case fatality rate column is necessary. It is often a bogus number anyway that depends on how much testing and observation is going on. In fact I see little need for the confirmed cases column for the same reason.<br />The editors of those 2 templates would probably be happy with whatever you come up with. Since there would no longer be a need to edit those templates every day.<br />I have no idea how you do the bots. I am not a coder, except wikitext and some CSS for it. I figured out how to do some basic filtering of a WHO CSV file recently. See [[Help:Table#Picking selected dates from massive .csv files]]<br />See [[COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory#Notes]]. I regularly upload new versions of some of the WHO and OWID maps and graphs to the Commons. So I know there are links to CSV files, etc..

:::::::::@[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]]: No problem! The latter file has no more usage, while the former appears to still be used. It would probably be best to migrate all maps from OWID to SVG format and then to send all remaining raster images to deletion requests.

{{od|::::::::::}} The png and svg files were discussed in various places worldwide, and so I don't want to delete them, and mess up the discussions. Also, the OWID logo is covering the end of the last word when viewing the thumbnail of some of the OWID maps. See the map thumbs here, and in the following section:
*[[COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory#Total deaths]]
Fortunately, when the latest svg maps are clicked and expanded the problem disappears. It was much worse before when OWID added the date at the end of the caption. Even the expanded map showed the OWID logo covering most of the date. So I want to keep the png files for insurance in case the problem comes up again. 

Is there a way to replace the png files in articles that are protected? I think that is the problem with the remaining article inclusions of this png map:
*[[:commons:File:World map of total confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people by country.png]]

:@[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]]: I think the thumbnails have been fixed. As for protected articles, it may be difficult — I don't know how edit requests work on other wikis. For SVG problems, I could manually edit them if something's wrong. I think much of it is because Wikimedia doesn't have too many fonts installed for SVGs to use, so many fall back to another font.

Maybe you can contact OWID and make some suggestions on how to make their SVG maps compatible with Wikipedia. Their site says they read all communications sent to them. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 15:51, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

:@[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]]: At least for me, the thumbnail looks fine; there's a good space between "people" and the logo. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 16:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
::It changes for me as I adjust various display settings, or use different browsers. After my latest changes it is no longer a problem in Firefox. But it is a problem in Chrome and Edge. I have a high resolution monitor (2560x1440) and getting font sizes correct for me in browser pages, desktop icon labels, browser menus, Windows 10 setting pages, file explorer, etc. is difficult. {{pb}} The overlap problem is only a minor problem though. It goes away when the image is clicked and expanded in Chrome and Edge. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 20:13, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Timeshifter|Timeshifter]]: That's interesting. Hopefully it doesn't cause any problems. [[User:Tol|<span style="color:#f542d7">Tol</span>]] ([[User talk:Tol|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/Tol|contribs]]) @ 20:31, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

== About undoing a little phrase on [[Tupolev Tu-144]] ==

Hi, Tol prices in the Soviet Union were fixed for every flight route and basically were the same  whatever type of aircraft was used and it's quite a common knowledge. About accessibility: if you look at the numbers of passengers that year it would be evident the services were accessible. As about economic costs: isn't it quite evident? By the way the Concorde operations were heavily subsidized all the way through. Moreover, I know for the fact that some of those TU144 were heavily  used by the military well into the 80s including passenger flights.

:Hello! If you believe it should stay, then I will let it stay. Still, statements should be [[WP:RS|reliably sourced]]; I do not have enough subject-area knowledge to suggest improvements or sources.

::Thank for your comment.

== Question from [[User:Asher213|Asher213]] (02:29, 24 September 2021) ==

My wikipedia page is still a draft, how would I fully upload this? --[[User:Asher213|Asher213]] ([[User talk:Asher213|talk]]) 02:29, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

:@[[User:Asher213|Asher213]]: You can submit a draft for review by adding <code><nowiki>{{subst:submit}}</nowiki></code> to the top of it. However, your draft [[Draft:Bonfire Software]] is not ready to be submitted. It does not demonstrate [[WP:NCORP|notability for a company]], and is not [[WP:verifiable|verifiable]] — it has only one reference to a [[WP:primary source|primary source]], and no references to [[WP:secondary source|secondary source]]s. It also appears that you may have a [[WP:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]]: if you are related to the company, you must disclose the conflict of interest by following [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]].
