Sir I did NOT mess with the Nissan Skyline page. Is someone hacking my account? Is it Chris Pine? I assume it is. I am blocked for something I did NOT fdo. What is this and why am I being falsely accused? Please let me know what's going on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.134.253 ( talk) 19:30, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

The location of the visual editor's preference has been changed from the "Beta" tab to the "Editing" section of your preferences on this wiki. The setting now says Temporarily disable the visual editor while it is in beta. This aligns en.wiki with almost all the other WMF wikis; it doesn’t mean the visual editor is complete, or that it is no longer “in beta phase” though.
This action has not changed anything else for editors: it still honours editors’ previous choices about having it on or off; logged-out users continue to only have access to wikitext; the “Edit” tab is still after the “Edit source” one. You can learn more at the visual editor’s talk page.
We don’t expect this to cause any glitches, but in case your account no longer has the settings that you want, please accept our apologies and correct it in the Editing tab of Special:Preferences. Thank you for your attention, Elitre (WMF) - 16:32, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Lor. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{ helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Again, welcome! Lor Talk 23:10, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
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.
Educational features: The first time you use the visual editor, it now draws your attention to the Link 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 "Insert Images and 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 the visual editor on any size of device. ( 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 "Delete" 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 and 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.
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 "Edit" and "Edit source" tabs into a single "Edit" tab, similar to the system already used on the mobile website. The "Edit" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time.

Hi Lor, I came to explain that that first edit on Who Is Fancy was merely a beachhead for some larger revisions, but I see that you've already reverted your reversion so, no worries. Thanks for keeping an eye out! Tony-Bonanza ( talk) 04:04, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, I figured I might have been going about it incorrectly. But I am the author of the current content at La Luz as well as this page La Luz (band). As of now, the information on both is basically duplicated. I was assuming that by putting a redirect in for the La Luz (band) landing and removing the outdated content would be the best way to do it? Please let me know if you think I am in error or if there's a better way to do this. Thanks!-- Shark2000br ( talk) 03:23, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
I hope this helps, if you have any questions feel free to ask them below. Happy Editing :) Lor Talk 03:33, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Why are you reverting the blanking? The article creator has probably realized the shouldn't have created the article. Blanking an article by the creator when he or she is the only significant contributor is seen as a request to delete the article. Rather than restoring an article that is under investigation for potential copyright problems just speedy it as author requested and save the trouble. Meters ( talk) 08:03, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
