What's making me happy this week: 1. A recent entry in the Mozilla Blog discussed the possible value of anonymity in decreasing bias in code review processes: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/03/08/gender-bias-code-reviews/ 2. The opt-in "pingback" telemetry from MediaWiki installations, which is available since March 2017, suggests that there are more than 40,000 unique installations. See: https://pingback.wmflabs.org, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPingback and https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Pingback_Privacy_Statement. There is also some news which is a little older and I am now getting around to sharing here: 3. A research project has been started which aims to test whether vandal activity can be detected in (near) real time, which may open opportunities for interventions earlier in the process of publishing edits. See https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ai/2018-January/000221.html. What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to write in any language. Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )

1. Happy to rediscover Clipboard History plugin in Chrome. It saves the frustration of hunting around, or rewording, a reusable snippet of wikitext on Commons image pages. 2. As part of a Commons discussion on copyright, for the first time in a couple of years created a flowchart, and experienced the same pleasure in setting out logic in this old fashioned way as I used to experience in the 1980s. ... Do kids learn about von Neumann these days?

Fae, I really like that flowchart. Is it linked somewhere that uploaders can see it? Todd On Mar 15, 2018 7:09 AM, "Fæ" <faewik(a)gmail.com> wrote:

The flowchart is under discussion as part of deciding how to advise on use of the proposed "120" year rule of thumb for old images without an author's death date. So no, it's not ready for uploaders to see it yet.

What's making me happy this week: The old Wikipedia puzzle globe logo is not used on any Wikipedia any longer. A bit of history, in case you aren't familiar with it: The old logo was retired in 2010. Here's the image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Logo_1.0.png . It had incorrectly drawn letters in some languages, and it was not rendered in modern vector graphics. The new logo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg , corrects these mistakes. For various technical, community, and linguistic reasons it was not actually immediately replaced in all the projects in 2010. User:Odder and User:Nemo_bis, who care about language diversity, took it upon themselves to replace the logos in all the languages. It took some time, and last week this was finally accomplished. The most prominent of the last languages that still had the old logo was the Urdu Wikipedia. There are still some logos to update because they have untranslated "The Free Encyclopedia" text or issues with graphics rendering, but the old logo is completely gone from the sites' headers. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
