  • A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Precious anniversary[edit]

Nine years!

Nice to see you still here @Gerda! Take care and ... thanks! Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:50, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I feel the same, - when going over my list, there are so many who are no longer there, many without drama, just some last unspecific edit years ago ... - but to see a familiar name like yours is a special pleasure. I tell my own stories now, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm off most of time. Family, work etc.. you know. But recently I joined again and I say or write something from time to time. I can't believe that I started 15 years ago :) Your work and attitude is still impressive Gerda. Old encyclopedist school, I'd say (no offense intended, please!). Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 10:25, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Good article reassessment for Leoš Janáček[edit]

Leoš Janáček has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. C679 03:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Cloudz679: glad I saw this - I've got a couple of books at home including Tyrell's biography, will see if I can add a few cites this evening. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 07:58, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@filelakeshoe - Thank you for your help, everything in the article is verifiable. From my today's point of view, it would deserve a more professional (musicological) rewrite, as I tried to write not only encyclopedic entry, but also an interesting story of life and work .. and I'm just a fan or admirer of Janáček's work, not musical scientist. Thank you again, it's really nice to hear from you again :) Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:47, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

Hello. Why you have trimmed article? It gives me a lot of work to compile. Wikipcontributor800 (talk) 09:09, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Wikipcontributor800, your submission was declined because it was poorly sourced. I started again by adding two reliable sources and I added some basic information proving he is notable (I know very well he is but other editors around here may not know). Your revisions are still in the history and can be restored, but don't forget to verify your claims by reliable sources. Let me know if you need any help. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:38, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, in my last editions I have added more sources.
Anyway, I admit they could have been seen as unreliable.
I would like to express my gratitude to you for your interest in participating on draft, I really appreciate it. Let it be trimmed, but reliable and submitted. Wikipcontributor800 (talk) 09:44, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now, to discussion on article.
E.g.
I had added section ,,Legacy" with claim/statement:
there is a street in Brestovany municipality named in honour of JN, citing google maps-position as source.
Thank you for your advice and participating on draft. Wikipcontributor800 (talk) 09:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
