Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

RE: Moustapha Kassem
Sorry, I'm a new user and never wrote an article before. What does it keep telling me that I infringe the copyrights? I didn't copy anything now, and everything is re-written?

Speedy deletion declined: Moustapha Kassem
Hello Tetraedycal. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Moustapha Kassem, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: No longer WP:COPYVIO. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Wikiout
First Annual Wikiout. In order to give our vandalism, new page and spam patrollers a well deserved day off, it is suggested that all edit patrollers take a 1 day vacation from editing Wikipedia, on Thursday, April 1, 2010. (No, this is NOT an April Fools Joke) Go out, enjoy the spring weather, and give your wrist a break from using that mouse! Please pass this message along to other patrollers by adding {{subst:User:Wuhwuzdat/Wikiout}} ~~~~ to their talk pages |

Thank you...

stub tag gets moved below category (swedish wikipedia)
Please inform me for the outcome of the discussion when it's over. Stub tags produce categories and they are processed by the server after the categories, as far as I know. That was the reason the English Manual fo Style askes them to put under the categories. -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:59, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I will let you know when/if consensus is found. tetraedycal, tetraedycal 23:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Reviewer permission
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:33, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #50
- Development
- Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
- Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
- Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (bugzilla:45821)
- d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
- Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
- Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
- Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
- Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
- Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
- Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
- Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
- Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
- Support for multi-line references in diff view
- Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
- Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
- Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
- Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
- Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
- Discussions/Press
- Events
- 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
- Wikidata trifft Archäologie
- SMWCon Spring NYC
- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
- Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
- Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
- d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
- Detailed list of bots
- Collecting information about creating a bot
- We’ve crossed Q8000000
- Did you know?
- When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.
