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.

Hi all!

The community vote of this year's Board Elections are close. As always voter mails will be sent out. To invite as many community members as possible in their native tongue your help is very much appreciated. While there are already plenty of translations we would appreciate you to check for languages still missing and to contribute translations for these.

The mails are short, just a bit about two times 200 words, a few minutes of work.

Your support is very important as it helps communities to learn about the election and to cast their vote.

Best, Denis Barthel (WMF)

(Movement Strategy and Governance)

Din hjelp er høyt verdsatt. Oversettere som deg hjelper Meta med å fungere som et virkelig flerspråklig fellesskap.

Hello

Please let me know the exact reason for decline. The Article is posted for the well known Politician of Janta Dal United Mr.GM Shaheen, Working as State Party President in the said party. Please do let us know how can we further improvise to make this article published. Heavensinfotech (talk) 13:24, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Heavensinfotech: Wikipedia articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. You had not added any sources for what you had written in the article, so I declined it. Best regards, Vukky TalkGuestbook 13:41, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
