User talk:Cassiopeia

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following: Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page. Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end. Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed. Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply. ⇒ Start a new Talk topic.

Hello Cassiopeia I was wondering if the fighters Joshua Van, Joanderson Brito, Raul Rosas jr. and Alessandro Costa have reached enough nobility to have Wikipedia’s made for them. NorixNGU (talk) 05:23, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NorixNGU Good day. To meet the notability guidelines for a subject to have a page in Wikipedia, the subject needs to pass WP:GNG guidelines or WP:NMMA. At the present, none of them meet the criteria yet. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 06:19, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

Updates for editors

• Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the Alt Text suggested-edit experiment after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "Add an image". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on the discussion page.
• The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
• It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight> tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax {{…}} are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [1]
• Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [2][3]
• View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• From Wikimedia Enterprise:
  • The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
  • The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

In depth

• The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.

One editor wants to change his nationality from Georgia to Spanish and had many reasons. He listed it on his edit summary and on my talk page. I told him to ask you.

Also: Cong Wang will fight at UFC Macau. That Chinese source was right and is a reliable one as it has been around for 15 years, just to let you know. Also, as you may already know, the link was shared by autoupdateposter initially. Marty2Hotty (talk) 07:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also Mauricio Ruffy is out of UFC 307 as per Nolan King's X. He works for mmajunkie. This should be good enough to add on the page. There is no real difference between using the post vs having a website use his post as a reference, right? ESPN also removed him from the card Marty2Hotty (talk) 12:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marty2Hotty Good day.I just wanted to clarify that it's not about how long a source has been around, but rather whether fact-checking processes are in place. Regarding the Cong Wang bout, it has been officially announced by MMA Fighting. You can view it here:- [4].

Please note that social media sources are considered user-generated content, so they aren't typically deemed reliable or independent. When we refer to a source, we're talking about established media or publishers, not individuals on social media. So as for Maurício Ruffy, the information should be published in the usual sources and we will wait for that. Regarding Ilia Topuria, I’ll wait to hear back from the editor so I can address the nature of the issue and discuss it further.

Thank you for asking about my health. I am very healthy and fit and Iren syndrome is a visual issues and doest not impact my mental capacity (done a IQ test and I got the score of 128). - see here to understand how i see things if you are interested - [5] and luckily I have a mild case :). Thank you Marty, and enjoy the Paris card tmrw. Cassiopeia talk

It is difficult to communicate with you at times, because you seem to have trouble understanding the reason for comments. My point was the Chinese source was correct before MMAFighting announced it. The source is a reliable Chinese source but you are not familiar with it, so you said it was not reliable. My point is: the Mingyang vs Diaz and Wang Cong fight did end up being announced, and the source was reliable, but you did not comment on it.

Also, social media sources are from official sources as well. Many are official and verified. Your point about ESPN makes zero sense, because we are taking UFC Event bout orders straight from the ufc.com/events page. So, why is it not okay to take the bouts from the ESPN page? Keep in mind that once they are announced officially by the UFC, all the media does is "report" it and use the official sources as the main reason for the reporting. I have yet to receive a response to this.

Regarding Topuria, see the history of list of current fighters. I undid his edit, but he has his reasoning for putting Spanish.

As for your health and visual issues, please be careful when editing on Wikipedia because you occasionally have typos or spacing problems on fighter pages and the "list of current ufc fighters" page. Please double check the formatting before publishing. ThanksMarty2Hotty (talk) 23:52, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marty2Hotty Again, I no health issue (very healthy and fit) and edit with typos or extra spacing is not a problem in Wikipedia nor violate any Wikipedia guidelines. Many editors actively engage in copy editing, focusing on grammar, punctuation, and formatting issues. It's a normal part of the collaborative editing process, and other editors will correct these issues if needed.

I understood your comments as always; however, you need to see the view point from Wikipedia guidelines. When working on Wikipedia, it's essential to strictly adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies, regardless of personal views or common sense consideration.

Source Reliability and Fact-Checking: It does not matter if a source (Source A) published the information first and publishes correct information correctly don’t inherently make it reliable. What’s important is whether a robust fact-checking process is in place which I have mentioned to you many times. Reliability is not based solely on the accuracy of a single piece of information but on the consistency and process behind verifying facts. If a source "about us" page stating they "promote xxxx" that will be not a reliable source as the ethics and standards of journalism/source operates under a set of ethical guidelines that emphasize truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness, and public accountability. A primary source, like the UFC in this case, is not independent. While it may provide firsthand information, it may not have an objective fact-checking process, making it unreliable for citation in contexts like Wikipedia. ESPN’s connection with UFC could also compromise its independence, which further affects its reliability for UFC-related information.

Wikipedia requires independent, reliable secondary sources. Primary sources or those not independent (like those connected to the subject) are less preferred, even though these might be allowed in other contexts (like a college paper). I can explain to you the distinction between independent & reliable, not independent & reliable, independent & not reliable, and not independent & not reliable sources, primary source, secondary source, tertiary source and verifiability to you in length but it can be complicated, especially if you are you college student for it can be confusing because academic papers often allow primary sources, while Wikipedia focuses on secondary, independent sources. Just remember Wikipedia prioritizes the first category (independent and reliable) for verifying content which is the Wikipedia core policy and not accordingly to us what considered common sense or right things to do (example: If a subject has 4 sons but we can only find independent, reliable sources stating he has 2 sons, we will put 2 sons in the article - which might not make any common sense to anyone but this is Wikipedia verification policy).

On Topuria's Article: The article mentions both Georgian and Spanish in the lead section. I will wait for the editor to contact me. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 00:30, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I finished part 2 of NPPS a while back. I wasn't sure if you already reviewed it or not, but here's proof that I finished: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ACassiopeia%2FNPPS%2FOpalYosutebito&diff=1245591094&oldid=1221468258 - OpalYosutebito (talk) 17:42, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OpalYosutebito Good day. It has been a long time since I last hear from you and hope you are well. Thank you for letting me know that you have completed the assignment and I will review it. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk

como salvaguardar codificadamente contenidos certificados --Ramirezcarriloluisdavid (talk) 01:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC

RamirezcarriloluisdavidGood day. Based on the translation, I understand you're asking about "how to encrypt certified content." Please note that Wikipedia is a platform where anyone can contribute and edit articles, provided they adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines. There is no encryption in place for any Wikipedia article, as the platform promotes open collaboration. However, if a page is frequently vandalized, we can request that the page be protected. A protected page limits who can edit it, often restricting it to more experienced editors for a certain period of time to prevent further vandalism.

Please move your user page content to the draft space, as it appears you are working on an article. You can find more information on how to do so HERE. Drafts are ideal for articles that are still being developed or need further review before publication. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! Please communicate in English, as this is the language used for editing and discussing topics on English Wikipedia. I'm here to assist you. Stay safe and best.
