{{resbox}} Hello.
What exactly should be removed or added from the links?
Links in articles that do not have filmography ?
Serg5151 (talk) 09:21, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Serg5151.
- I'm sorry for taking so long to reply to you, this flew under my radar. Assuming "the links" refer to external links, you should keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a repository of links and there should only be a few external links in an article. I, however, am not sure I understand what "Links in articles that do not have filmography" means. CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 18:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
Hello ClydeFranklin:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
DYK for Harlem Park Three
{{resbox}}
On 1 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Harlem Park Three, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Harlem Park Three were awarded US$48 million, the largest sum in Baltimore history, after being falsely imprisoned for murder? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Harlem Park Three. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Harlem Park Three), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2023).
Administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.
Arbitration
- Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
- The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.
