It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. |

== Let's take a trip back to Spring 2005 == |
|||
Hi, so I was looking at the redirects to [[Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II]] and found that [[Middle East Theatre of World War II]] existed. I had a look at it and noticed that a little earlier this month an IP user attempted to redirect it [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Middle_East_Theatre_of_World_War_II&diff=1131113991&oldid=1121221271] to the former article because it was "an unsourced duplicate". I completed the redirect today by blanking the content, then noticed that you were present during the creation of both just about 18 years ago. Was creating the redirect the right move, or no? This is not a topic that I normally edit. Cheers, [[User:Dawnseeker2000|<span style="font-variant: small-caps">''Dawnseeker2000''</span>]] 23:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC) |
|||
== How about finishing article Anthing? == |
|||
I put a useful source on the page [[Carl Heinrich Wilhelm Anthing]] which you started, but apparently abandoned. It is a reputable biography. It is in Dutch but you can easily translate that into English using Google Chrome. Highlight a section. Then '''right-click''' somewhere near that section and a dropdown menu with the option to translate to English will appear. Click that option and hey presto the page is suddenly legible. Hope this is useful. Cheers, [[User:Ereunetes|Ereunetes]] ([[User talk:Ereunetes|talk]]) 00:47, 27 March 2023 (UTC) |

;Welcome to the third [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire|WikiProject Worcestershire]] newsletter |
|||
and the first one in (checks notes) THIRTEEN years! When I first joined this WikiProject back in December last year, I was slightly tempted to mark it as inactive, as activity had extremely slowed and there had been no new participants in 3 years. But I have decided to revive this project, as Worcestershire means a lot to me and I know it does for so many others. But as many participants of this project have disappeared completely off Wikipedia, this project is now in dire need of attention and it would be helpful if a group of editors could join me and continue to maintain it.<br> |
|||
Here goes for the third EXTREMELY irregular news bulletin... |
|||
;What's happened since last time |
|||
'''[[Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844]]''' was promoted to {{class/icon|GA}} [[WP:Good article|Good article]] on 3 September 2014. Largely the work of {{U|Bellow558}}, a Worcestershire Project member, the article was reviewed by {{U|Mike Christie}}. |
|||
'''[[Hanley Castle High School]]''' was was promoted to {{class/icon|GA}} Good article on 30 August 2012. There are 78 good articles for educational institution of all kinds of which there are 4 GA for secondary schools in the UK. Hanley High School is the first state school in the UK to become GA. |
|||
'''[[Evesham]]''' was nominated on 2 December 2010 as a [[WP:GAC|Good Article Candidate]]. The nomination unfortunately failed due to unforeseen unavailability of the editors working on the article. It only requires minor attention to be renominated. |
|||
'''[[Worcester Castle]]''' was awarded {{class/icon|GA}} Good Article status on 27 October 2011. Largely the work of [[User:Hchc2009]] , the article was reviewed and promoted by [[User:Malleus Fatuorum]]. |
|||
The photo by [[User:Diliff|David Iliff]] of the medieval cloisters in [[Worcester Cathedral]] ''(pictured above)'' appeared as [[Wikipedia:picture of the day|picture of the day]] on 5 October 2016. |
|||
'''[[Urse d'Abetot]]''' was awarded {{class/icon|FA}} Featured Article status on 13 October 2009. Promoted by {{U|Karanacs}}, the article was 96.4% the work of {{U|Ealdgyth}}. It was finally featured on the main page on 14 April 2018. |
|||
The '''[[Battle of Powick Bridge]]''' was awarded {{class/icon|FA}} Featured Article status in 2020 and appeared on the Main Page on 12 February 2023. |

Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new [[WP:WORCS/HowTo]]. |
|||
Urgent tasks are now listed at: [[WP:WORCS/ToDo]]. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist. |
|||
== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity == |
|||
'''Priorities''' are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire]]. |
|||
The current priorities: |
|||
*''Population''<br /> Now that the [[2021 United Kingdom census|2021 census]] details have been released, most settlement articles need updating. This website: https://www.citypopulation.de/ can be helpful, although you should note this does not collect data from hamlets or small villages. |
|||
*''Monitor''<br />The watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible. |
|||
*''Infoboxes''<br />Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing. |
|||
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month. |
|||
*''References''<br />Please remember that the [[:Category:Stub-Class Worcestershire articles|list of stubs needing expansion]] is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If you are uploadiing an image, be sure it has a correct FUR, and that you have preferably already created a link on the page where you want it to be. |
|||
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]]. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]]. |
|||
These lists will help: |
|||
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/All Worcs related articles|All Worcs related articles by '''ABC''']] |
|||
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Worcestershire/by type|Worcs related articles by '''type''']]. |

I am currently planning on reforming the [[Evesham]] article to get it up to scratch for another [[WP:GA|GA]] nomination.

Wikipedia news
25 April 2024 |
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. The proposals for creating a discussion-only period on a trial basis (2), administrator elections on a trial basis (13), creating tenure requirements for candidates (25) and participants (14) have all passed outright, and will now proceed to the implementation phase. The proposals for creating a reminder of civility norms (2), administrator recall (16 and 16c), putting named administrators and bureaucrats on call (17), requiring links for claims of specific policy violations (9b), and creating a better mentoring system (24) have all passed, but will undergo further refinement in phase II before proceeding to implementation. Proposals that have passed outright, but on a trial basis, will be discussed at phase II after their trials have concluded.
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 15,000 articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is open until 9 May 2024. Read the voting page on Meta-Wiki and cast your vote here!
