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!
Proposal to change article title "Brigade van Bylandt" to "Bylandt's brigade"
I have put a proposal to change the name of Brigade van Bylandt to "Bylandt's brigade" on the talk-page of that article. As you have contributed to that article in a significant way you may be interested. I'll make the move if you have not objected in a week's time. Ereunetes (talk) 22:43, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established 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.
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 the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:19, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
