This Revert
How come you reverted this edit? The IP editor reworded the text in a good way, and removed a free blog link. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 12:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- (also, please ping me if you respond!) TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 13:00, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- @TheManInTheBlackHat: that is beacause they didn’t provide an edit summary for removing some text. Airtransat236 (talk | contribs) 13:03, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- You should instead leave a message about that on their user page, you shouldn't revert the edit for that sole reason, as it was a good edit. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 13:04, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

for reverting this LTA, I forgot to do this when reporting them to meta:SRG. And apologies for your block, I guess the blocking admin saw a „new user“ (your first edit at dewiki) removing another users talk page message at recent changes and didn't realize you are an enwiki patroller fighting xwiki vandalism...

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.

- 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
.
- Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166)
- 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 tonote 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.

Deletion of non-free former logos at CFPL-DT
From WP:NONFREE: The NFCI#2 allowance for logos only applies to the use of the logo on the infobox or lede for the stand-alone article about the entity, and should reflect its most current logo. The use of historical logos for an entity is not allowed, unless the historical logo itself is described in the context of critical commentary about that historical logo.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2023).
- Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory.

- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.
