Mirage IIIs numbers in PAF

I updated current serving mirages IIIs to roughly 46. You undid that back to 75. I understand that PAFs acquisition of Mirages and subsequent fleet numbers is hard to estimate because of multiple acquisitions over multiple decades with some purchases of aircraft meant only for spares cannibalization but please realize this is not possible, I would refer you to:

1. Scroll down to Post# 170: http://defence.pk/threads/capabilities-of-paf-dassault-mirage-iii-v.44991/page-12 This is by far the post detailed and succinct summary of PAF Mirages, and you will realize with the information there that only 3 Mirage III squadrons with diminished strength are currently active: No.7 at Masroor, No. 22 OCU and Skybolts at Combat Commanders School.

2. No. 5 squadron has retired its original 1970s purchase of Mirage IIIs and is now equipped with f 16 block 52s. So it is not possible for PAF to have 75 Mirage IIIs — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markers Elite (talk • contribs) 16:42, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

4th GA Cup - Round 2

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

December 29th marked the end of the first round, after it was extended from its previously scheduled conclusion at the end of November. Because of the smaller pool of contestants this year, it was decided to keep sign-ups open throughout the month of December.

This extension proved to be very helpful as we saw that more users signed up and completed many reviews. Krishna Chaitanya Velaga earned an impressive 402 points, followed by Cartoon network freak with a close 338 points. Shearonink who signed up after our extension was in third with 170 points.

We had a rule clarification in Round 1 which was that many articles were being passed with blatant copyright violations and plagarism occurring in the articles. Thus, the judges have concluded that if an article is passed even if it has a copyright violation/plagarism, we will not provide points for that article as it wouldn't be considered a "complete review" under the scoring rules.

In the end, 94 articles were reviewed by 14 users who will all advance to Round 2. The judges had planned on having 16 contestants advance but since only 14 did, we are changing the pools in this round. We will be having 2 pools of 3 and 2 pools of 4 in Round 2, with the top 2 in each pool advancing to Round 3 as well as the top participant ("9th place") of all remaining competitors. Round 2 will begin on January 1 at 00:00:00 UTC and will end on January 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here.

Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase!

  • video2commons was down for two weeks. This was because of a problem with Commons video transcoders. It is now back up. [7]

Changes this week

  • There is a new magic word called {{PAGELANGUAGE}}. It returns the language of the page you are at. This can be used on wikis with more than one language to make it easier for translators. [8]
  • When an admin blocks a user or deletes or protects a page they give a reason why. They can now get suggestions when they write. The suggestions will be based on the messages in the dropdown menu. [9]
  • You will be able to use <chem> to write chemical formulas. Before you could use <ce>. <ce> should be replaced by <chem>. [10]
  • You now can add exceptions for categories which shouldn't be shown on Special:UncategorizedCategories. The list is at MediaWiki:Uncategorized-categories-exceptionlist. [11]
  • The "Columns" and "Rows" settings will be removed from the Editing tab in Preferences. If you wish to keep what the "Rows" setting did you can add this code to your personal CSS: #wpTextbox1 { height: 50em; } You can change the number 50 to make it look like you want to. [12]
  • Sometimes edits in MediaWiki by mistake are shown coming from private IP addresses such as 127.0.0.1. Edits and other contributions logged to these IP addresses will be blocked and shown the reason from MediaWiki:Softblockrangesreason. This should not affect most users. Bots and other tools running on Wikimedia Labs, including Tool Labs will receive a "blocked" error if they try to edit without being logged in. [13]
  • When you edit with the visual editor categories will be on the top of the page options menu. [14]
  • The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar).

Meetings

  • You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on January 17 at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

WHERE IS DISCUSSION PAGE FOR DELETION NOMINATION. WHAT IS THE PROPER REASON FOR DELETION. Please clear me. सुमित सिंह (talk) 03:44, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

सुमित सिंह— Hanumanthappa Koppad is now a redirect to 2016 Siachen Glacier avalanche#Rescue operation, and was made so in this edit. You can find your article by picking the link where it says Redirected from Hanumanthappa Koppad or click here. Please do not just restore your version, but rather discuss with Primefac whether it merits a separate article or not. —MBlaze Lightning T 06:18, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
