Administrators' newsletter – April 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • There is an ongoing request for comment to streamline the source deprecation and blacklisting process.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold a Arbcom RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. A draft RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC (Draft) and not open to comments from the community yet. Interested editors can comment on the RfC itself on its talk page.

Miscellaneous

  • The WMF has begun a pilot report of the pages most visited through various social media platforms to help with anti-vandalism and anti-disinformation efforts. The report is updated daily and will be available through the end of May.

GA reviews

Iazyges, I noticed that you opened four GA reviews earlier today. Given your past problems with completing reviews when you start many at once, I'd like to request that you make significant progress on these before opening any more, and keep the number of unstarted reviews down to around three at any one time going forward. There will always be plenty of nominations needing review when you've completed these. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:29, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Will do. -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 21:51, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

The Featured Article Medal
By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers who have shed sweat, tears, and probably blood in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status" Gog the Mild (talk) 10:04, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
