Carolina Panthers news, rumors and injuries
Panthers | Ed Dickson nursing groin injury
Tue, 23 Aug 2016 21:00:02 -0700
Carolina Panthers TE Ed Dickson (groin) has missed the last week of practice due to a groin injury. He did individual work on the side during practice on Tuesday, Aug. 23, and is unlikely to play in the team's next preseason game on Friday, Aug. 26.

Panthers | Corey Brown leaves early
Tue, 23 Aug 2016 13:55:23 -0700
Carolina Panthers WR Corey Brown (shoulder) left practice early Tuesday, Aug. 23, with a shoulder injury. His removal from practice simply appeared to be a precaution.
Fantasy Tip: There may not be a lot of opportunities for Brown this year with Kelvin Benjamin, Devin Funchess and Ted Ginn Jr. all likely ahead of him. He's not necessarily undraftable, but he's really only worth consideration in deeper standard leagues.

Panthers | Two rookie CBs may start for Carolina
Mon, 22 Aug 2016 15:39:27 -0700
Carolina Panthers CBs Daryl Worley and James Bradberry appear to be on track to start in Week 1. CB Bene Benwikere likely will be the nickel back if he does not start.

Panthers | Greg Olsen returns Monday
Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:51:11 -0700
Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) returned to practice Monday, Aug. 22. The extent of Olsen's participation was not disclosed.
Fantasy Tip: Aside from Cam Newton, Olsen is arguably the most valuable offensive player the Panthers have, so this is great news for Carolina and Olsen owners. As long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks leading up to the regular season, he's a top-five tight end on any draft board.

Panthers | Devin Funchess pushing Kelvin Benjamin
Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:14:00 -0700
Carolina Panthers WR Devin Funchess has really impressed wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl this offseason. Proehl said Funchess is playing at a level that is forcing WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) to keep up and get better. "To be honest with you, where Devin is right now and where Kelvin needs to get to, I think Devin is pushing Kelvin," Proehl said. "He's realizing, 'I've got to get back, I've got to push, because [Funchess] is pretty dang good.' Proehl did admit that Benjamin is still fully recovering from his torn anterior cruciate ligament, however.
Fantasy Tip: Benjamin and Funchess seem destined for a dynamic 1-2 punch in 2016, as long as they can stay on the field. The Panthers have no shortage of big targets near the end zone, including Benjamin and Funchess. Benjamin looked good in his first preseason action last week. He's a WR2 option, while Funchess is still more of a low-end WR3 to high-end WR4 consideration.

Panthers | LaRon Byrd may have concussion

Panthers | Greg Olsen, Ed Dickson sitting
Sat, 20 Aug 2016 12:01:13 -0700
Carolina Panthers TEs Greg Olsen (back) and Ed Dickson (undisclosed) are inactive against the Tennessee Titans Saturday, Aug. 20. Olsen is recovering from back spasms.
Fantasy Tip: Dickson has little to no fantasy value as long as Olsen is healthy, which Olsen should be by Week 1. He was Cam Newton's favorite target last year, and he should still be one of the first tight ends drafted even with the return of Kelvin Benjamin.

Panthers | Greg Olsen still hurting
Thu, 18 Aug 2016 15:29:24 -0700
Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen's (back) MRI on his ailing back came back negative, according to head coach Ron Rivera, but Olsen is still dealing with a big spasm.
Fantasy Tip: The timetable for Olsen's return wasn't made clear, but it shouldn't be too long since it's not too serious of an issue. He's one of the most reliable tight ends in the NFL and should be one of the first three tight ends taken in fantasy drafts.

Panthers | No brace for Kelvin Benjamin
Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:11:30 -0700
Carolina Panthers WR Kelvin Benjamin (knee) doesn't plan on wearing a brace to protect the torn anterior cruciate ligament he's healing from. Benjamin said a brace feels uncomfortable. Head coach Ron Rivera agrees with the decision.
Fantasy Tip: Benjamin isn't quite at full health, but he should be there at least close when the regular season commences. He's the Panthers' top wideout even after missing last season, but caution should still be used. It's best to draft Benjamin as a low-end No. 2 wide receiver.

Wed, 17 Aug 2016 08:21:55 -0700

Finding and Disclosing to a Patent Attorney
Enjoy the protections of an attorney-client relationship.
At some point, you may need the advice and counsel of an experienced patent attorney (See Do You Need a Patent Attorney?). Your first step is to find one in your area who can help you.
- Browse Nolo's Lawyer Directory to find local patent attorneys. You'll find detailed profiles, philosphy, fee information, and more.
- All patent attorneys are listed in the PTO publication, Attorneys and Agents Registered to Practice Before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (A&ARTP ). It is available in many public libraries and Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries, government bookstores, and on the PTO 's website (www. uspto.gov).
- The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA ) may be able to assist you in locating patent attorneys in your area. Contact the AIPLA at http://www.aipla. org or at 2001 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 203, Arlington, VA 22202, phone: 703-415-0780.
- The Intellectual Property Law Association of the American Bar Association also has a listing of intellectual property attorneys. Contact them at www.abanet.org or at 312-988-5000. Most attorneys bill on an hourly basis ($150 to $600 an hour) and send a bill at the end of each month.
Some attorneys bill on a fixed fee basis. For example, $1,000 for a patent validity opinion, $1,000 for a patentability search, and $5,000 for a simple patent application. Note that in many states, such as California, a client always has the right to terminate the attorney, although this does not terminate the obligation to pay the attorney. If you don't respect and trust your attorney's professional abilities, you should switch and find a new attorney. Under most state bar rules, your attorney is required to deliver all of your papers to you at your request and without charge upon termination. However, you should not make this decision hastily. Switching attorneys is a nuisance and you may lose time and money.
Disclosing Patents and Trade Secrets to an Attorney
When you retain the services of an attorney, a privileged relationship is created. The attorney cannot divulge information given in confidence. The attorney can only disclose information you've shared with your consent or under special circumstances, such as a court order.
This confidential relationship (attorney/client privilege) also applies to employees and agents of an attorney. However, you should observe the following guidelines regarding attorney/client relationships:
- Disclosures to an attorney are only protected when made in confidence. For example, public disclosures (in a diner or a ballpark) that could be overheard might not be protected.
- The attorney/client privilege only applies to your attorney—the attorney you have retained. A casual discussion with an attorney (sometimes known as "street corner advice") will generally not set the privilege in motion (although in some states it may).

probably be only a couple of bucks. Gold and silver bullion banks will throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at the short side starting Monday morning. If they fail, we could see some real fireworks to the upside. I suspect, they will succeed in a small small way. Maybe gold gets driven down to 1265 and silver to 2o. BTW, this would set up the launching pad for the rest of the year if we were to get a small correction right here and now. Also, slw was pumped on CNBC and that usually means a bunch of newbies bought Friday. They will sell at the first sign of weakness this week which could cause the minor, but needed, correction. Good luck!
Well here it is! My guess is it will be walked down to under 25 and maybe under 24 in the next four trading days.
I love to lean on the news..it trumps everything but the tech is just so overbought..a little profit taking myself.
At this point even if gold goes down to $1250, silver will stay at $21. Silver must correct up to 50 to 1 ratio. It should be $26 today.
no silver will not stay at $21 if gold corrects to $1250-12-60 range. It will drop and I guarantee that I am correct.
BB's agree with OP.
If you are calling me a newbie, you are wrong. I have been in on the bull since 1999. Seriously 7 figures in profits over this time period.
Being cautious is never wrong. (Some people just like to call names,...makes them feel important I suppose.) I sold a small amount yesterday and if it does drop a couple of dollars will buy more. If it turns out I sacrificed a little profit, that's okay.
True validation of silver shortages and future higher price targets would be no pullback opportunity to buy any cheaper than the vey shallow quick dips witnessed over the past 2 weeks. Too many looking for that pullback to buy. If all of this is real, it will be time to twist the knife and make them chase it.
I have made a ton with this advice. Sell the rhino horns and then buy back. Of course if silver goes ballistic, some chasing will be priced out. I just don't think it will happenthe next two weeks. I never underestimate JPM, HSBC and the fed when it comes to pushing silver down. We shall wee what happens.
The real challenge to share price stability is investment in some heretofore unknown manner in new silver streams, at some higher than $3.95 an ounce level and a bunch of cash and printed shares, at shareholder expense. That's the "danger", continued expansion, because the cost always comes out of current shares, diluted or not, and last time the buy accrued an income stream IMMEDIATELY, which is not necessarily reproducable every new acquisition. Understand, this is pure speculation on my part, but SLW does a couple deals per year, and I am waiting for the other shoe to fall soon.
Whether that annuncement, and bobble in the share price, is a one week duration event, one day, or a one hour blip remains to be seen, because SLW is real good at consumating share offerings and cash in a DAY--less time to react than it takes to mow the lawn.
Other than that, see the now typical one buck swing throughout the day, but as to shorts coming in? Any faltering will excite current shorts at silver $20 19 and so on, to bail as they called the downturn too early--and that is a mitigating force to a real downside.
I think the tidal wave up is just beginning with silver and gold at all time highs-and silver still lagging in its traditional ratio with gold-there is a whole field of believers that once high is broken, sky's the limit, as the elves in technical land have no upside experience, and consider this a breakout worth daytrading to the upside.
The next psychological point for "wait a minute" type thinking is $30 IMHO for the POSLW.
But if there is a deal announced, the bean counters could take two to three dollars off the top of this baby, for an indeterminant period of time.
Stay tuned. Stay frosty.
SLW has $375,000,000 in cash, and $400,000,000 in available credit. They wont add need to add more shares.
You've been out of this stock since it was $20, right? Trying to talk it down, hoping to get back in?
I am with you there. Its overdue for correction probably as low as 24 maybe a bit lower, but within a few months it will be at new record highs I think.

Officers in War Zone Given Pink Slips
The last time the Army downsized was under the Clinton administration in the 90s, which largely resulted in a military culture known as zero defect that nearly everyone involved absolutely abhorred. Arguments went both ways regarding those personnel cuts with many of the negative ideas coming to light again.
Why? The Defense Department recently send a number of early service termination notices to Army Captains worldwide … to include those still actively engaged in ENDURINGFREEDOM. This particular action, of course, has drawn enormous ire. At least the Clinton administration downsized a peace-time force whereas these cuts take place while combat operations are still underway.
Internet Plausible Deniability
One of the keys to being able to conduct an illegal activity in the unforeseeable future of course is to have established a life pattern that suggests plausible deniability. The Internet is rife with opportunities to do dark and devious things … but the first rule of hacking is not to shit where you eat. But perhaps that's not always a possibility. Should you open your home network for public use NOW as a means of establishing a precedent that somebody else could have conducted the malicious activity later?
There's of course great risk to doing this – somebody very well may actually use your connection for illegal activity or other questionable activity. But, depending on how serious you are about establishing plausible deniability, this could be a good thing. It's not without precedent already. Comcast is already on a roll converting people's home WiFi routers (their company's equipment of course) into public access points. People have also long volunteered their home connections to be Tor exit nodes.
Illegal Uses of Private Drones
You've probably seen the video already from everyone sharing it on Facebook. But somebody flew a private drone through a Fourth of July fireworks display and captured some pretty awesome video inside the explosions. Of course, doing something like this is in violation of all kinds of safe operating practices and no doubt against the law. Uses like this are probably going to further limit and restrict private drone even more than the recent FAA rules that classify toy drones as illegal.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Crimea as the Russian Texas
Reading some American history the other day, I was struck by how similar the story of how Texas came to be part of the USA in the 1840s was to how the Crimea came to be part of Russia this year.
Confident that I am not the first to see this I Googled Crimea as the Russian Texas and sure enough I found that link and the same idea being promoted by the Russians. How I love history when it contradicts our illusions about ourselves.
There are significant differences, the prime one being that the Russians living in the Crimea had been there for centuries, and so were not put there in order to assist the annexation by Russia. Indeed they went there first to kick out the Turks in 1774 and the Crimea remained an integral part of the Russian state until it was given to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (part of the USSR) by Nikita Khrushchev in 1954. The ethnic Russians living there had no need to change their loyalty or nationality throughout that process.
There is another interesting historical parallel with Nazi Germany.
IRS Shenanigans Continue
Regardless of who you are, nobody likes the IRS. A few years back, a brouhaha emerged about potentially targeted activities against a particular political leaning. Regardless of your side, either liberal or conservative, the subsequent shenanigans should make everyone mad. Really? Of the folks at the center of the investigation, none of the individuals can produce ANY of their emails especially from the specific window of time in question? Of course, it got better when the IRS claimed that coincidentally all of those hard drives were also recycled. None of their activities can be handwaved away as a simple mistake, the Federal Records Act of 1950 is more than 60 years old and federal employees are very aware of their requirement to maintain them.
Advisers to Iraq
Everyone's favorite President for world peace, "not being Bush", and whatnot is sending advisers to Iraq. Why? The group ISIL, (Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham or Levant), has been running rampant across Iraq sacking city after city on their movement towards Baghdad. Iraqi security forces have basically been either non-resistant or flat out surrendered without a fight to the ISIL forces. Even more depressing for the post-US force pullout is that ISIL has overrun several Iraqi military bases and gained control of American weapons, vehicles and munitions left for the Iraqis amongst other military grade facilities.
American POW Recovered
SGT Bowe Bergdahl, the American POW from Operation Enduring Freedom, has been freed after negotiations where he was traded for five prisoners out of Guantanamo. Although his recovery aligns with the military's mantra to never leave a Soldier behind, the story of how he became a POW in the first place casts quite the controversy over his future.
Barefoot Running - Beneficial or Hype?
Running barefoot became more popular in western culture with the introduction of the "five finger" shoes from Vibram. The company recently lost a class-action lawsuit attesting their shoe's campaign was based entirely upon false hype. A large part of the barefoot running movement was based on the idea that the human body evolved the way it did, running barefoot, and is therefore most adept at doing so. And, of course, the record breaking runners from Africa tend to run barefoot as well. But recent studies began to cast doubt on the idea showing that essentially people who haven't been running that way, aren't getting any benefit from doing the switch.
Russia Ramps Up Censorship and Speech Control
It always starts small and innocuous. Russia begins with a simple measure to ban profanity in media such as music, television and movies. Not too big a deal, but definitely a control mechanism nonetheless. Additionally, the country is going to initiate control measures over the Internet, starting specifically in the blogosphere by requiring real name registration presumably to enable future squashing of dissent. One of the country's bloggers comments, "On the one hand, the Russian government says the Russian people are the best. On the other hand, it doesn't trust the people."
Monica Lewinsky Emerges
Almost two decades ago, the Monica Lewinsky / Bill Clinton affair was the big news in the United States leading up to a presidential impeachment. Obviously politics and society have changed significantly since then. So when Monica re-emerged in a recent Vanity Fair article talking about the incident from long ago, it makes one wonder a few things …
- Coincidentally timed to weaken a Clinton 2016 campaign?
- Looking to self promote?
- Does America care about this sort of thing anymore?
Vitamin Supplements?
Do you take vitamin supplements?
There are certainly all kinds of vitamins and minerals the body needs, there's no doubting that. But the doubting camps have been beating this drum for years – 2013 and 2011 were the most recent occurrences. I myself hadn't really noticed until last year's news recurrence, but it did make me wonder what the OmniNerds thought on the matter.
Autonomous Vehicle Ethics
I came across an article on Wired today that I found somewhat interesting regarding ethics and autonomous vehicles. Essentially, if an autonomous vehicle determines that a crash is unavoidable … how should it be programmed to handle the situation? This one is somewhat akin an earlier OmniNerd discussion including the Trolly Problem. The difference, however, is that decision is made on the fly by a subjective human whereas an autonomous vehicle will be following a deterministic set of rules that basically determines who is least valuable. Does that qualify as pre-meditated murder? Would programmers be liable?
Epic Violin Battles of History - Stradivaris vs Modern
When it comes to violins and aficionados, the Stradivaris instruments are considered the de facto standard for exquisite sound. Or are they? A study involving professional violinists allowed each to play on twelve different instruments that included a collection of new and old – with five Stradivaris mixed in. The musicians were blindfolded and permitted to use each violin for an hour in a concert hall. In the end, although the sample size was small, the results favored the newer, modern violins over the classic Stradivaris.
HipHop Vocabulary versus Shakespeare
One metric used to justify Shakespeare's work as literary genius is the unique (not volume) word count. One, apparently bored, coder [Matt Daniels] decided to put rap and hip hop artists against Shakespeare by using song lyrics. Stereotypically, rap and hip hop music don't exactly make one think "genius" or "literary mastermind." For scaling purpose, Daniels ran word analysis against Shakespeare's Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Macbeth, As You Like It, Winter's Tale, and Troilus and Cressida whereupon he compared it to the gamut of various music artist's songs. While Shakespeare does thoroughly trounce most of his competition, there were plenty of artists that, using the unique word count metric, best him mightily.
Limitations on Longevity
How old can human beings really get? Discounting the ridiculous math of the Old Testament, the current human limit is about 122 years old. One old woman that lived to 110 donated her body to science so that her longevity could be studied. Researchers determined that it may be our stem cells that limit how long we could live as there are only a finite supply of them and over time, as they stop regenerating, so too do the body's repairs. They believe humans begin life with about 20,000 blood stem cells and it was found in her body, at the time of death, she was literally down to 2. The researchers found their approach unique to looking at somatic mutation (non-cancerous) and believe the discovery may imply that an injection of fresh stem cells could prolong and rejuvenate our bodies.

They're in a "rebuilding" phase in Tracy. They'll start with a sturdy foundation.
Willie Nelson, an American musical and cultural titan, opens the 2012-13 season at Tracy's Grand Theatre Center for the Arts tonight and Wednesday.
"He's definitely a legend," said Jeffrey Haskett, the theater's supervisor.
The shows — on a convenient stop between San Rafael and Saratoga on the 79-year-old Nelson's tour — are part of an upgraded schedule at the 88-year-old former vaudeville house.

Exercise equipment manufacturer Cybex International makes workout machines with tubular frames from parts it bends in-house. The company has quite a bit of bending expertise, but one problem it couldn't resolve was the bending of short lengths. A custom-made bender from Unison provided Cybex with the capability it needed.

Cladding, often used in manufacturing or repair, is a good way to conserve an expensive alloy. Weld cladding techniques can be manual or automated. A conventional automated technique is submerged arc strip cladding (SASC), but this isn't the only process. Electroslag strip cladding (ESSC) is a viable alternative.

When Grant Mallicote's father had a bumper-crumpling collision on the family's ranch, Grant figured he could save his dad a few dollars by fabricating a replacement bumper. He used some tube, plate, a welding torch, and some ingenuity to make a bumper, and eventually it became a bumper business, Bodyguard Truck Accessories.

A golf club shaft looks like an ordinary tube, but it's not. Quite a bit of engineering goes into manufacturing the tube and drawing it so it has the optimal characteristics—lightweight without being flimsy and elastic enough to pack a wallop. Editor Eric Lundin interviewed Scott Cokeing, director of engineering and global quality True Temper Sports, about one of the company's manufacturing processes, variable wall technology.

Before purchasing a 3-D CNC cutting system from HGG, oil rig builder Orion outsource quite a bit of its work. In addition to being at the mercy of its subcontractors' lead times, Orion had to deal with their quality, which often wasn't sufficient. The machine has been such a productivity enhance that Orion estimates the ROI period to be one year.

Top Fuel races are a dazzling sight, covering 1,000 feet in little more than 3 seconds. The drivers get the glory and the engines get the attention—they develop approximately 10,000 horsepower—but underneath the car's exterior is a marvel of modern engineering: a tubular chassis that somehow holds together through 4G of acceleration during the race and the even harsher 5G of deceleration when it's over.

Most people who own ultralight aircraft buy them fully assembled, but this isn't the only option. U-Fly-It, DeLand, Fla., lets the buyer be the builder if he's handy and has about two weeks to spare.

Preparing tube or pipe ends for welding with a portable tool is one way to get the job done, but for complex end forms and high-volume work, a stationary beveling machine is the way to go.

Job placement assistance
AUTHOR: Ruth Ann Monti - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 27, 2011POSTED: Wednesday, April 27, 2011
If you haven't already done so, please contact Anthem College Online for job placement assistance at 866.837.1010 and ask for extension 22752.
Our job placement assistance cannot and does not guarantee employment. What we do is work with you to help you find entry-level employment in your field. This includes:
- Assistance with developing resumes and cover letters
- Job-seeking assistance, including identifying local volunteer opportunities that match students career goals
- Interview training and preparation
- Networking assistance
Career Services remain available to alumni for as long as they seek employment in a field related to their Anthem College Online degree.
As for schedule flexibility, an online program allows you set your schedule more easily than if you were required to attend a land campus. For example, Anthem College Online students have access to the Online Classroom 24 hours a day through our Learning Management System (LMS) which houses the courseware, discussion forums, exams, activities and other important information.
However, this does not mean no schedule at all. As explained in the course catalog and other materials provided to applicants, online education affords students flexibility in planning their studying time. Effective learning and academic success requires that students regularly engage in learning activities and participate in meaningful interactions with faculty and fellow students. Therefore, students are expected to regularly attend their virtual classes and meet assignment deadlines.

Wist je dat[brontekst bewerken]
Sorry dat ik jullie even stoor voor iets waar we jullie niet al te veel tijd voor willen vragen. Op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia bedenken we momenteel in het Wist je dat-project nieuwe weetjes voor op de voorpagina. We denken dat het leuk kan zijn, om uit elke taalregio in Nederland en Vlaanderen twee of drie weetjes te krijgen (minder of meer vinden we ook goed). Daar zouden namelijk hele interessante uit kunnen voortkomen, zo is onze gedachte. Die hoeven niet per se over taal te gaan, maar kunnen over van alles en nog wat gaan waar er juist lokaal kennis over is. Om de hulp in aantallen doen we het niet, want het project loopt goed en we denken over een week of zeven à tien klaar te zijn. Hopelijk wordt het idee sympathiek opgevat. In ieder geval bedankt voor de tijd en eventueel voor de moeite. Heel veel succes gewenst met deze taalversie van Wikipedia! Met vriendelijke groet, Ymnes (overleg) 17 mrt 2015 16:59 (UTC)

VisualEditor News #5—2015[brontekst bewerken]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs, added new features, and made some small design changes. They post weekly status reports on mediawiki.org. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages like Japanese and Arabic, making it easier to edit on mobile devices, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements[brontekst bewerken]
Educational features: The first time ever you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Koppeling and ⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽ tools. When you click on the tools, it explains why you should use them. (T108620) Alongside this, the welcome message for new users has been simplified to make editing more welcoming. (T112354) More in-software educational features are planned.
Links: It is now easier to understand when you are adding text to a link and when you are typing plain text next to it. (T74108, T91285) The editor now fully supports ISBN, PMID or RFC numbers. (T109498, T110347, T63558) These "magic links" use a custom link editing tool.
Uploads: Registered editors can now upload images and other media to Commons while editing. Click the new tab in the "Invoegen Media" tool. You will be guided through the process without having to leave your edit. At the end, the image will be inserted. This tool is limited to one file at a time, owned by the user, and licensed under Commons's standard license. For more complex situations, the tool links to more advanced upload tools. You can also drag the image into the editor. This will be available in the wikitext editor later.
Mobile: Previously, the visual editor was available on the mobile Wikipedia site only on tablets. Now, editors can use it on all devices regardless of size if they wish. (T85630) Edit conflicts were previously broken on the mobile website. Edit conflicts can now be resolved in both wikitext and visual editors. (T111894) Sometimes templates and similar items could not be deleted on the mobile website. Selecting them caused the on-screen keyboard to hide with some browsers. Now there is a new "Verwijderen" button, so that these things can be removed if the keyboard hides. (T62110) You can also edit table cells in mobile now.
Rich editing tools: You can now add and edit sheet music in the visual editor. (T112925) There are separate tabs for advanced options, such as MIDI and Ogg audio files. (T114227, T113354) When editing formulæ and other blocks, errors are shown as you edit. It is also possible to edit some types of graphs; adding new ones, and support for new types, will be coming.
On the English Wikipedia, the visual editor is now automatically available to anyone who creates an account. The preference switch was moved to the normal location, under Special:Preferences.
Future changes[brontekst bewerken]
You will soon be able to switch from the wikitext to the visual editor after you start editing. (T49779) Previously, you could only switch from the visual editor to the wikitext editor. Bi-directional switching will make possible a single edit tab. (T102398) This project will combine the "Bewerk" and "Brontekst bewerken" tabs into a single "Bewerk" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Bewerk" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.
Let's work together[brontekst bewerken]

Community Wishlist Survey[brontekst bewerken]
Hi everyone! Apologies for posting in English. Translations are very welcome.
The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is focused on building improved curation and moderation tools for experienced Wikimedia contributors. We're now starting a Community Wishlist Survey to find the most useful projects that we can work on.
For phase 1 of the survey, we're inviting all active contributors to submit brief proposals, explaining the project that you'd like us to work on, and why it's important. Phase 1 will last for 2 weeks. In phase 2, we'll ask you to vote on the proposals. Afterwards, we'll analyze the top 10 proposals and create a prioritized wishlist.
While most of this process will be conducted in English, we're inviting people from any Wikimedia wiki to submit proposals. We'll also invite volunteer translators to help translate proposals into English.
Your proposal should include: the problem that you want to solve, who would benefit, and a proposed solution, if you have one. You can submit your proposal on the Community Wishlist Survey page, using the entry field and the big blue button. We will be accepting proposals for 2 weeks, ending on November 23.
We're looking forward to hearing your ideas!
Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed[brontekst bewerken]
Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.
If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Harassment consultation[brontekst bewerken]
Please help translate to your language
The Community Advocacy team the Wikimedia Foundation has opened a consultation on the topic of harassment on Meta. The consultation period is intended to run for one month from today, November 16, and end on December 17. Please share your thoughts there on harassment-related issues facing our communities and potential solutions. (Note: this consultation is not intended to evaluate specific cases of harassment, but rather to discuss the problem of harassment itself.)

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)
Thank you for your participation!

Get involved in Wikipedia 15![brontekst bewerken]
This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia's 15th Birthday!
People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.
Haven't started planning? Don't worry, there's lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
- Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
- Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We've made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
- Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we're making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
- Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!
Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You'll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.
If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.
Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

VisualEditor News #6—2015[brontekst bewerken]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the visual editor team has fixed many bugs and expanded the mathematics formula tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for languages such as Japanese and Arabic, and providing rich-media tools for formulæ, charts, galleries and uploading.
Recent improvements[brontekst bewerken]
You can switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor after you start editing. The LaTeX mathematics formula editor has been significantly expanded. (T118616) You can see the formula as you change the LaTeX code. You can click buttons to insert the correct LaTeX code for many symbols.
Future changes[brontekst bewerken]
The single edit tab project will combine the "Bewerk" and "Brontekst bewerken" tabs into a single "Bewerk" tab, like the system already used on the mobile website. (T102398, T58337) Initially, the "Bewerk" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as a cookie for logged-out users and as an account preference for logged-in editors. Logged-in editors will be able to set a default editor in the Bewerken tab of Special:Preferences in the drop-down menu about "Bewerkingsmodus:".
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the following Wikipedias in early 2016: Amharic, Buginese, Min Dong, Cree, Manx, Hakka, Armenian, Georgian, Pontic, Serbo-Croatian, Tigrinya, Mingrelian, Zhuang, and Min Nan. (T116523) Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. The developers would like to know how well it works. Please tell them what kind of computer, web browser, and keyboard you are using.
In 2016, the feedback pages for the visual editor on many Wikipedias will be redirected to mediawiki.org. (T92661)
Testing opportunities[brontekst bewerken]
- Please try the new system for the single edit tab on test2.wikipedia.org. You can edit while logged out to see how it works for logged-out editors, or you can create a separate account to be able to set your account's preferences. Please share your thoughts about the single edit tab system at the feedback topic on mediawiki.org or sign up for formal user research (type "single edit tab" in the question about other areas you're interested in). The new system has not been finalized, and your feedback can affect the outcome. The team particularly wants your thoughts about the options in Special:Preferences. The current choices in Special:Preferences are:
- Laatste tekstverwerker onthouden,
- Waar mogelijk de visuele tekstverwerker gebruiken,
- Altijd wikitekst bewerken, and
- Beide bewerkingstabbladen weergeven. (This is the current state for people already using the visual editor. None of these options will be visible if you have disabled the visual editor in your preferences at that wiki.)
- Can you read and type in Korean or Japanese? Language engineer David Chan needs people who know which tools people use to type in some languages. If you speak Japanese or Korean, you can help him test support for these languages. Please see the instructions at What to test if you can help, and report it on Phabricator (Korean - Japanese) or on Wikipedia (Korean - Japanese).

2016 WMF Strategy consultation[brontekst bewerken]
- Please help translate to your language
Hello, all.
The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)
Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.
Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)
If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to email@example.com.
I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (overleg) 18 jan 2016 19:06 (UTC)

Updates to wiki search auto completion are arriving 10 March[brontekst bewerken]
Please help translate to your language. Bedankt!
The completion suggester beta feature will become the default at the first group of wikis on Thursday, 10 March. This initial rollout will start with some of the smaller wikis to ensure the change happens in an organized way. The remaining wikis will receive the update on Wednesday, 16 March. This update brings three major improvements to search. Improved search result ordering, a tolerance for a small number of spelling errors, and suggests fewer typos.
Since December 2015, 19,000 editors have already opted into the completion suggester beta feature. Contributors are encouraged to try out the feature ahead of the release. Please share any comments on the Completion Suggester discussion page in any language.To learn more about the work of the Discovery department and other improvements to search, please check out the Wikimedia blog.

Verwijderverzoek[brontekst bewerken]
Eerst twee maal excuses, voor het gebruik van Nederlands, en voor het feit dat ik de pagina met verwijderverzoeken niet kan vinden. Daarom plaats ik mijn verzoeken maar hier:
- Het lijkt mij dat de foto van Franca Treur, verwijderd moet worden, omdat er sprake is van auteursrechtenschending, en dat is niet in overeenstemming met ons gemeenschappelijk doel. Ik bedoel Plaetje:Franca Treur by Corbino.jpg. Het artikel over Franca Treur heb ik al voorzien van een foto met vrije licentie.
- Mijn tweede verzoek is mijn gebruikerspagina, Gebruker:Ellywa te verwijderen. De reden waarom staat daar al enige tijd op.
Dank jullie wel voor de te nemen moeite, en heel veel succes en plezier met de Zeeuws Wikipedia. Ellywa (overleg) 9 mrt 2016 18:09 (UTC)

Server switch 2016[brontekst bewerken]
The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).
If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped.
Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- There will be a code freeze for the week of 18 April.
No non-essential code deployments will take place.
This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17 apr 2016 22:07 (UTC)

Compact Links coming soon to this wiki[brontekst bewerken]
Please help translate to your language
Hello, I wanted to give a heads up about an upcoming feature for this wiki, which you may already seen in the latest issue of Tech News. Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). This will be enabled as a feature in the coming week for all users, which can be turned on or off using a preference setting. We look forward to your feedback and please do let us know if you have any questions. Details about Compact Language Links can be read in the project documentation.
Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English. We will really appreciate if this message can be translated for other users of this wiki. Thank you. On behalf of the Wikimedia Language team: Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk) 24 jun 2016 14:01 (UTC)
Compact Language Links enabled in this wiki today[brontekst bewerken]
Please help translate to your language
Compact Language Links has been available as a beta-feature on all Wikimedia wikis since 2014. With compact language links enabled, users are shown a much shorter list of languages on the interlanguage link section of an article (see image). Based on several factors, this shorter list of languages is expected to be more relevant for them and valuable for finding similar content in a language known to them. More information about compact language links can be found in the documentation.
From today onwards, compact language links has been enabled as the default listing of interlanguage links on this wiki. However, using the button at the bottom, you will be able to see a longer list of all the languages the article has been written in. The setting for this compact list can be changed by using the checkbox under User Preferences -> Appearance -> Languages
The compact language links feature has been tested extensively by the Wikimedia Language team, which developed it. However, in case there are any problems or other feedback please let us know on the project talk page. It is to be noted that on some wikis the presence of an existing older gadget that was used for a similar purpose may cause an interference for compact language list. We would like to bring this to the attention of the admins of this wiki. Full details are on this phabricator ticket (in English).
Due to the large scale enablement of this feature, we have had to use MassMessage for this announcement and as a result it is only written in English.

Wikipedia to the Moon: invitation to edit[brontekst bewerken]
Three weeks ago, you were invited to vote on how to take Wikipedia articles to the Moon. Community voting is over and the winning idea is to send all ''featured articles and lists'' to the Moon. This decision means that, starting today, Wikipedians from all language communities are warmly invited to intensively work on their best articles and lists, and submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate between communities will be Meta-Wiki. You will find an overview and more information there. Hopefully, we will be able to represent as many languages as possible, to show Wikipedia's diversity. Please feel kindly invited to edit on behalf of your community and tell us about your work on featured content!

Editing News #2—2016[brontekst bewerken]
Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are improving support for Arabic and Indic scripts, and adapting the visual editor to the needs of the Wikivoyages and Wikisources.
Recent changes[brontekst bewerken]
The visual editor is now available to all users at most Wikivoyages. It was also enabled for all contributors at the French Wikinews.
The single edit tab feature combines the "Bewerk" and "Brontekst bewerken" tabs into a single "Bewerk" tab. It has been deployed to several Wikipedias, including Hungarian, Polish, English and Japanese Wikipedias, as well as to all Wikivoyages. At these wikis, you can change your settings for this feature in the "Bewerken" tab of Special:Preferences. The team is now reviewing the feedback and considering ways to improve the design before rolling it out to more people.
Future changes[brontekst bewerken]
The "Bewaer bladzie" button will say "Pagina publiceren". This will affect both the visual and wikitext editing systems. More information is available on Meta.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next few months. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including: Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Assamese, Aramaic and others.
The team is working with the volunteer developers who power Wikisource to provide the visual editor there, for opt-in testing right now and eventually for all users. (T138966)
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. It will look like the visual editor, and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices around September 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Let's work together[brontekst bewerken]
- Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.
- Learn how to improve the "automagical" citoid referencing system in the visual editor, by creating Zotero translators for popular sources in your language! Watch the Tech Talk by Sebastian Karcher for more information.

Save/Publish[brontekst bewerken]
The Editing team is planning to change the name of the "Bewaer bladzie" button to "Pagina publiceren" and "Wijzigingen publiceren". "Pagina publiceren" will be used when you create a new page. "Wijzigingen publiceren" will be used when you change an existing page. The names will be consistent in all editing environments.[1][2]
This change will probably happen during the week of 30 August 2016. The change will be announced in Tech News when it happens.
If you are fluent in a language other than English, please check the status of translations at translatewiki.net for "Pagina publiceren" and "Wijzigingen publiceren".
The main reason for this change is to avoid confusion for new editors. Repeated user research studies with new editors have shown that some new editors believed that "Bewaer bladzie" would save a private copy of a new page in their accounts, rather than permanently publishing their changes on the web. It is important for this part of the user interface to be clear, since it is difficult to remove public information after it is published. We believe that the confusion caused by the "Bewaer bladzie" button increases the workload for experienced editors, who have to clean up the information that people unintentionally disclose, and report it to the functionaries and stewards to suppress it. Clarifying what the button does will reduce this problem.
Beyond that, the goal is to make all the wikis and languages more consistent, and some wikis made this change many years ago. The Legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation supports this change. Making the edit interface easier to understand will make it easier to handle licensing and privacy questions that may arise.
Any help pages or other basic documentation about how to edit pages will also need to be updated, on-wiki and elsewhere. On wiki pages, you can use the wikitext codes
{{int:Publishpage}} and
{{int:Publishchanges}} to display the new labels in the user's preferred language. For the language settings in your account preferences, these wikitext codes produce "Pagina publiceren" and "Wijzigingen publiceren".
Please share this news with community members who teach new editors and with others who may be interested.
