Changed "committed suicide" to "died by suicide". Suicide is neither a crime nor a sin; this change reflects current best practice with regards to nomenclature.

Hi,

I am wondering why you undid my changes (made without signing in) to the Ann Quin article?

Best regards

died by suicide is redundant, as suicide means death. It’s like saying “died by death”. This has also been decided by an rfc several times. Praxidicae (talk) 12:21, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Ok - and forgive me, I'm new here - but how do I raise that "committed" is inappropriate? Surely a better solution can be found? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenhenry1 (talk • contribs) 12:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

@Greenhenry1: Discuss it on the talk page or start a WP:RFC I guess. Masum Reza^📞 14:58, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

An RfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
Following a proposal, the edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.

Technical news

Wikimedia projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows the setting of a different default block length for IP editors. Neither is currently used. (T219126)

Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 2 December 2018 UTC. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.

Miscellaneous

The global consultation on partial and temporary office actions that ended in October received a closing statement from staff concluding, among other things, that the WMF will no longer use partial or temporary Office Action bans... until and unless community consensus that they are of value or Board directive.

proximity Butterfly page deletion query

I was reviewing the page Proximity butterfly which was signed to Maybe Mars record label in beijing for 6 years. The band toured extensively, was featured on Australian radio and published throughout Asia. It appears you’ve requested the page be deleted and I’m curious what information you deem significant enough to support the article’s publication. Joshua C Love (talk) 22:06, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

	Thanks for advocating for my unblocking on the Tajik Wikipedia. I haven't been unblocked yet, but I did nothing warranting a block. Geographyinitiative (talk) 23:07, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: I know. They are saying it's a mistake. They still haven't unblocked you and some others. Iluvatar already asked for a unblock in Russian. Let's see how they respond. Masum Reza^📞 23:29, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
