Other Noteworthy Stuff A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool.

A barnstar for you!

		The Copyright Cleanup Barnstar
		I see you haven't recieved a barnstar in awhile, so I just wanted to re-iterate what others have in the past in that I appreciate your review of RD1 requests and application of revision deletion. The promptness of your actions also help a non-administrator such as myself, in that it confirms to me that I am accurately spotting copyright violations rather than wasting administrator time and incorrectly biting newcomers. Your work is appreciated! —Sirdog (talk) 06:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. It's a bit of a grind at times but easier when there's people like you doing the legwork in identifying the stuff and labelling it up beforehand. Nthep (talk) 08:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
