Administrators' newsletter – December 2017

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2017).

Administrator changes

added Joe Roe
readded JzG
removed EricorbitPercevalThinggTristanbVioletriga

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, a new section has been added to the username policy which disallows usernames containing emoji, emoticons or otherwise "decorative" usernames, and usernames that use any non-language symbols. Administrators should discuss issues related to these types of usernames before blocking.

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Over the last few months, several users have reported backlogs that require administrator attention at WP:ANI, with the most common backlogs showing up on WP:SPI, WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. It is requested that all administrators take some time during this month to help clear backlogs wherever possible. It should be noted that AIV reports are not always valid; however, they still need to be cleared, which may include needing to remind users on what qualifies as vandalism.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative is conducting a survey for English Wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works (i.e. which problems it deals with well and which problems it struggles with). If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be emailed to you via Special:EmailUser.

Thank you for Nigel (bishop of Ely), interesting but unknown, good company for Nicole Grobert in DYK. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:40, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays
From Stave one of Dickens A Christmas Carol

Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

So you see even Charles was looking for a reliable source :-) Thank you for your contributions to the 'pedia. ~ MarnetteD|Talk 02:26, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Sea-bee (creature)

Greetings,

I figured that for a heraldry question this talk page would be a fine place to ask (or at least to receive a pointed to the correct place). I've just accepted a PROD on Sea-bee (creature) which is in part motivated on concerns that this is a hoax, see Refdesk and talk page.

Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Wishing Ealdgyth a very happy adminship anniversary on behalf of the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Slightlymad 07:55, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Wondered if you might be interested in

This review? It's been getting a bit lonely this last week, and there's not an awful lot I can input except grammar, layout etc.

On a lighter note, I had a barnstar ready for you the other day, but accidentally gave it to someone else! Not my finest hour  :) Hope all's well! >SerialNumber54129...speculates 11:51, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm going to be busy today scheduling TFA - and then I've got "real world" work to do. I'll try to look at it sometime - but Dudley knows that I'm not the best with that period when it comes to non-ecclesiastics. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:03, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I saw you scheduling away  :) no worries, I just saw the notice at MILHIST and immediately thought of you. I should've known that you would know about it already; but it's even more alien to me than to you I imagine. Incidentally, found that barnstar, will chuck it below. Cheers! >SerialNumber54129...speculates 16:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Better late than never  :) ==

The horse / bishop combo
As a combination, it reminded me of the old medieval adage, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"  :)

Ride On! >SerialNumber54129...speculates 16:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

scheduling

Thanks for scheduling, I'm good to go. Btw, I have no idea if Hawkeye7 got User:FACBot working (that's the one that fills in the recentlist) ... I guess we'll find out tonight when it either works or doesn't. - Dank (push to talk) 15:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Heh. I just started scheduling... great minds think alike or something? Ealdgyth - Talk 15:15, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Synchronicity, you started scheduling within minutes after I put the final touches on "Space Seed". - Dank (push to talk) 15:23, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
You probably want to add something like "see article history for attribution" when you schedule. We got a series of complaints a while back that we weren't crediting other people's work properly when we schedule. - Dank (push to talk) 17:02, 19 January 2018 (UTC) (No need to change what you did, just add that wording going forward). - Dank (push to talk) 17:03, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Looks good. I don't see why "copy from Lazarus Aaronson" wouldn't work. - Dank (push to talk) 17:10, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Could you hold off on scheduling the Donald Trump article (on the 28th)? I want to see if I can get a meeting of the minds with the FAC nominator first. If that doesn't work, I'll email all the coords to talk about it. - Dank (push to talk) 18:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

No problem Ealdgyth - Talk 18:16, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks much. I almost never ask, but there's a really tough NPOV issue lurking here. - Dank (push to talk) 18:23, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Heh. NO worries. If something doesn't allow it to run, we can run the one article at requests that didn't get noticed quickly enough. Ealdgyth - Talk 18:35, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
(talk page watcher) Assuming you're talking about Feb 28, if you don't run Trump Martin Keamy might be a good choice—that date will be the 10th anniversary of the first appearance of the character so you have the much-vaunted "date relevance", and it's as uncontentious an article as could be imagined. ‑ Iridescent 18:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Thank Iri, yes it's the 28th. The problem here is that NPOV is a moving target ... what people think is "balanced" one month can seem imbalanced after the political winds shift. If we can find words that are bland without coming across as dodging the issues, then I won't object, as long as Victoria and Epicgenius are okay with it. - Dank (push to talk) 19:31, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
I confess that I don't see any "Donald Trump" article scheduled anywhere... Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:59, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
That's because it hasn't been scheduled yet - it's just the 28 February listing at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/pending. Dank's working on getting a neutral blurb with the nominators before I do the finalization/paperwork. Ealdgyth - Talk 20:01, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

unwanted page moves

Hi Ealdgyth! I am writing because I asked montanabw for a big gun. She said you were, but I probably one had a 50/50 chance of you weighing because you so busy. And that's totally fine. No guilt trip or expectations...just ignore if too busy.

Some of us were talking through the new PBR tour name issue on the Built Ford Tough Series when an anonymous user kept making unsourced changes that changed the whole meaning of the article to be about the new tour name. So I requested page protection and got an admin involved for my trouble. They took over, putting full protection on the page (montanabw talked them down to semi-protection), decided the article needed its name changed and started a name change request-all before I could respond or put forth a case like you would in a resolution board. They also reverted my last edit on the Professional Bull Riders to that same probable troll's edit, so humiliating. montanabw reverted back to mine. She's a such a treasure. But anyway, can you look at the move request? Talk:Built Ford Tough Series If you don't agree, that's fine..really. I absolutely don't expect you to agree just because we know each other. I want what's best for the article. But it is telling that an IP was created who then posted in the discussion that I was deceiving editors. And yes, I was a bit brusque in the talk page sometimes. For over a week now, I've been dealing with an incredible amount of anonymous users for that area. Thanks!

One little thing. I thought montanabw convinced them full protection was only for serious issues when she posted to their talk page [[1]]. But I just checked and it's still locked for everybody except admins for a week. Isn't that way too harsh? There was no serious edit warring going on. I don't know any other admins to ask. dawnleelynn(talk) 21:12, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Forest law

The whole redirects were a mess they were linking to two separate articles, this one and this one: Forest law - Forestry law. I am just redirecting the targets to where they were originally going to. So if you're saying they're the wrong targets they always were that way. Inexpiable (talk) 02:08, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

I can direct the ones you've reverted to this article Forest law, but that's not where the links were originally going. Whole thing is a mess. Inexpiable (talk) 02:10, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
They should go to the article that talks about the royal forest established in medieval England by William the Conqueror. That's where they went when the articles were written ... Ealdgyth - Talk 02:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Ok I've done that but that isn't where they were originally redirecting to. Inexpiable (talk) 02:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Took forever but it's done. I've redirected all the articles to the correct pages. Inexpiable (talk) 02:55, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC has closed with a consensus that candidates at WP:RFA must disclose whether they have ever edited for pay and that administrators may never use administrative tools as part of any paid editing activity, except when they are acting as a Wikipedian-in-Residence or when the payment is made by the Wikimedia Foundation or an affiliate of the WMF.
  • Editors responding to threats of harm can now contact the Wikimedia Foundation's emergency address by using Special:EmailUser/Emergency. If you don't have email enabled on Wikipedia, directly contacting the emergency address using your own email client remains an option.

Technical news

  • A tag will now be automatically applied to edits that blank a page, turn a page into a redirect, remove/replace almost all content in a page, undo an edit, or rollback an edit. These edits were previously denoted solely by automatic edit summaries.
