Cutter request followup

Hi FakeScientist8000, I left you a note on the Stephanie Cutter Talk page wondering if you could remove a couple now-redundant sentences. I'd really appreciate the help, and do appreciate your reviews so far! PrecisionChristian (talk) 14:58, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Cutter check-in

Hi FakeScientist8000, I'm just following up on the note I left last week and hoping you might be able to take a look at those extra sentences. I also spent some time creating a draft if you have any interest in reviewing it to see all that I hope to accomplish. Thanks again for all your help so far!

On 14 July 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article George Elder (baseball), which you nominated.

Proposed deletion of Jeremiah Pharms Jr.

Hello, Fakescientist8000

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username CollectiveSolidarity, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Jeremiah Pharms Jr., for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|CollectiveSolidarity}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 04:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Before you publish a BLP, I suggest always having at least one reference included before you publish. Since BLPs are a sensitive topic, references are of paramount importance and they must be included as soon as they can be found. Just a tip from me. Happy editing! CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 04:21, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Found a source and I’ve de-prodded the article. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 04:34, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – August 2022

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2022).

Administrator changes

Valereee

Anthony Appleyard (deceased) • Capitalistroadster • Samsara

Guideline and policy news

An RfC has been closed with consensus to add javascript that will show edit notices for editors editing via a mobile device. This only works for users using a mobile browser, so iOS app editors will still not be able to see edit notices.
An RfC has been closed with the consensus that train stations are not inherently notable.

Technical news

The Wikimania 2022 Hackathon will take place virtually from 11 August to 14 August.
Administrators will now see links on user pages for "Change block" and "Unblock user" instead of just "Block user" if the user is already blocked. (T308570)

Arbitration

The arbitration case request Geschichte has been automatically closed after a 3 month suspension of the case.

Miscellaneous

You can vote for candidates in the 2022 Board of Trustees elections from 16 August to 30 August. Two community elected seats are up for election.
Wikimania 2022 is taking place virtually from 11 August to 14 August. The schedule for wikimania is listed here. There are also a number of in-person events associated with Wikimania around the world.
Tech tip: When revision-deleting on desktop, hold ⇧ Shift between clicking two checkboxes to select every box in that range.

Draft:Cornish Bronze Age

Hi! Please don't restore 5000b of content if I delete it from my draft, even if I don't leave an edit summary. You can be pretty sure I had a good reason for doing so. Tewdar 03:50, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

@Tewdar: I see. Pardon me for restoring the content, but such huge purges of content like that without any real explanation could be mistaken for vandalism. Cheers! Fake scientist 8000 13:40, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't do vandalism. It was actually moved to another section just before you restored it, but it was almost exactly the same time, so perhaps you didn't notice. Draft space is very different to main space, and I am the only substantial editor of that draft. I will keep my drafts in my user space in future. Cheers. Tewdar 14:04, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.

Technical news

The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.

Arbitration

Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.
The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.

Miscellaneous

An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.
An RfC is open to discuss whether to make Vector 2022 the default skin on desktop.

Your draft article, Draft:List of lowest-scoring NFL games

Hello, Fakescientist8000. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of lowest-scoring NFL games".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:26, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:44, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Miscellaneous

Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add /64 to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.
