I have replied to your message (re: The Times) on my Talk page. Thanks. ~2026-40449-10 (talk) 05:14, 20 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for the deeply informative message, I have already seen that. If you want to take further action, you can ask other editors on that article's talk page per WP:BRD. My main concern is that this content is not usually accepted readily by other editors. Qwerty123M (talk) 05:16, 20 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
My apologies. It was just meant as a heads-up, as I was a little unsure. I do not necessarily think the info should stay in either.

Hi there! hope you don't mind me asking this just to clear up my confusion. Your edits to this article just appeared in my watchlist, but when I went to the article history it's a brand new page. What happened to the old one? I looked in WP:AFD but there's no record. Thanks! Orange sticker (talk) 12:29, 22 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

When I go to the log, the user who moved this article to draft namespace gave a good reason for doing so: "Created by a banned or blocked user". Qwerty123M (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Latest comment: 12 days ago 1 comment1 person in discussion

Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on July 3. Please help translate. The work follows annual plan goals for this fiscal year (July 2026–June 2027).

Highlights

  • Reflections from around the puzzle globe: Wikimedia Foundation CEO, Bernadette Meehan shares her reflections from around the puzzle globe.
  • Wikimania 2026: Wikimania is happening this week! After the event, all streamed sessions will be linked in the program on Eventyay and later uploaded to Commons.
  • Grantmaking: The Global Resource Distribution Committee has published a Grantmaking Strategy draft that sets out a renewed approach to how the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Fund is distributed across the Wikimedia Movement. The GRDC is requesting feedback from volunteers and affiliates, regardless of whether they are grantees or not.
  • Movement Ecosystem: A proposal that would update movement affiliate recognition and establish new, connected criteria for eligibility to receive Community Fund grants is now available for community review. You are invited to read the proposal and participate in the discussion until August 7.
  • AI's impact on Free Knowledge: How AI threatens the social contract of free knowledge and what we can do about it.


Annual Goals Progress on Engage
See also: Growth · Product Safety and Integrity · Tech News · Language and Internationalization · The Wikipedia Library · list of movement events · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia

  • The Wikipedia Library: Five new collections were added to the Wikipedia Library and a course developed by leading experts in academic publishing and open knowledge was launched.
  • Women+ contributions in Wikimedia Tech: A guide based on lived experience on how to address some of the invisible barriers for women+ in more technical Wikimedia spaces and recommendations to become more inclusive. Help further by filling out this survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ across Wikimedia projects until July 20.
  • Structured Experimentation: A reflection on the first year of structured experimentation highlights successful experiments such as Paste Check, Reference Check, and Tone Check, which improved editing outcomes and have been rolled out to more users, as well as experiments that did not lead to product changes.
  • Revise Tone test ended: The A/B test of Revise Tone ended on July 9. It showed that newcomer task completion rates increased by 38.7% compared to the default Copyedit task, with no decrease in edit quality. The feature is now available for everyone on the Arabic, English, French, and Portuguese Wikipedias. The plan is to release Revise Tone to more wikis.
  • Keeping mentor list up to date: Administrators on wikis where Growth features are available can now automatically remove inactive mentors by configuring the settings at Special:CommunityConfiguration/Mentorship to keep the list updated. Mentors are experienced contributors who opt in to help new users on-wiki through the Growth Features.
  • Wikifunctions: How Abstract Wikipedia fits into the Wikimedia Foundation's annual plan FY26/27.
  • Wikidata: The latest Wikidata Platform newsletter (July edition) shares how to identify and rewrite queries that rely on Blazegraph-specific extensions and affected by the migration off Blazegraph.
  • Discussion Tools: On English Wikipedia, DiscussionTools' Usability Improvements has now become default for talk pages. You can opt-out of these changes at any time in user preferences. With this, Discussion Tools are now fully available at all wikis.
  • Tech News: The latest highlights from Tech News week 28 and 29 include the new Parsoid parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis, making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. See also the 72 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks. Overall, from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation.
  • Language inclusivity at Wikimania 2026: New approaches to translation and interpretation will be tested at Wikimania this year.
  • Call for submissions open for Wikimedia Latin America Conference 2026: The Wikimedia community in Latin America has opened the call for session proposals for the Wikimedia Latin America Conference 2026. Community members are invited to submit proposals for the conference program by August 10.


Annual Goals Progress on Protect

  • Advocacy: China again blocks the Wikimedia Foundation as a permanent observer to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
  • UK Online Safety Act: Ofcom, the United Kingdom's Office of Communications, announced that Wikipedia is not designated as a Category 1 service under the Online Safety Act (OSA). This is an important and welcomed outcome as a Category 1 designation could have included privacy and safety risks to our global community of volunteers.
  • UN Open Source Week edit-a-thon: Volunteers created 60 new Wikipedia articles and made nearly 700 updates to improve Wikipedia's coverage of UN and open source topics at the second UN Open Source Week edit-a-thon co-hosted by Wikimedia Foundation.
  • "Don’t Blink": The latest developments from around the world about protecting the Wikimedia model, its people and its values.

  • "A Wiki Minute" videos: New videos are added to the series answering some of the most common questions such as "Do you still need Wikipedia when AI can answer anything?" and "Does Wikipedia push a political agenda?".
  • Wikipedia 25 brand collaboration in Indonesia: On 4 July, the Jakarta-based street wear company Ageless Galaxy launched a Wikipedia 25 collection, the first ever Wikipedia Brand Collaboration in Asia. The apparel collection featured hats, t-shirts, and a jigsaw puzzle cardigan. Wikimedians in Indonesia joined Ageless Galaxy for a launch party.

Draft declined
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.
Feedback
The reviewer, Balabush, left the following feedback:
This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:
  • provide significant coverage : discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;
  • are reliable : from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
  • are independent : not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.
Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
This is WP:TOOSOON the party is six days old and its sourcing is either pre-merger, self-published, or from outlets tied to its own founding organisations, none of it independent per WP:GNG.

Next steps

  • Edit Draft:Australian Socialist Party to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
  • When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
  • If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Sorry, I didn't think I submitted the draft. I simply added the Articles for Creation submission template, there must have been something I got wrong there. Qwerty123M (talk) 23:50, 24 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

I alerted two WikiProjects of the prod. I'm not sure myself. Bearian (talk) 03:12, 29 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

I do personally think she is notable within Australia, but the state of sourcing in the article is such that I cannot help but think she is not worthy for inclusion on Wikipedia, especially considering that large chunks of her life seem to be left out. You can contest this proposed deletion if you want to by removing the tag. I may not have added the PROD tag if another user hadn't raised the possibility of deletion on the talk page.

Latest comment: 4 days ago 2 comments2 people in discussion

you reverted one of my edits within 1 minute. do you have a magical dashboard of a bunch of pages you monitor or are you a bot? Either way. Pretty impressive. Please explain. AustinBoath (talk) 10:57, 30 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

I had that page on my watchlist, so essentially yes, that is somewhat like a magical dashboard. I also patrol many other pages through growing my watch list all the time. Qwerty123M (talk) 11:03, 30 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
