[edit]There is two pages named Dance Plus (season 6) and Dance Plus have been semi-protected by an editor.This article gets vandalized repeatedly by the same IPv6 range and I believe this would be good to stop that. the protection prevents the page from being updated with relevant and important information. Most of the frequent editors are non-extended editors confirmed users so this page has been neglected and is Missing lot of up-to-date information since the protection is increased SparksMania (talk) 10:29, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Can you please help me to unprotect these two pages SparksMania (talk) 10:31, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @SparksMania. Both the articles are only semi-protected so any autoconfirmed user can edit the said articles. To become an autoconfirmed user you only need an account for 4 days have made at least 10 edits to the Wikipedia. I think you already qualify the second requirement. You just have to wait for few more days and you can edit the article yourself.
- I can't decrease the protection level of the article only admins can increase/decrease the protection. Also I don't recommend for protection to be decreased. If you want to request an edit to the article, you can go the the talk page of the article and make an request edit. Eevee01(talk) 10:53, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Ok thank you SparksMania (talk) 12:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

- Hi Whiteguru. User Achiri Bitamsimli is the creator of the said article not me. The article wasn't ready for the main space so I moved it to the draft space using a user script, but it looks like they removed the speedy deletion tag and kept on working on the article in the main space itself. (history of the article.) Eevee01(talk) 04:02, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – October 2022
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out.

- Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.

- The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.
- An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
- Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message
[edit]Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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 site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}}
to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
