Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Warriors (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis album)
[edit]Hello, Jonathan Deamer. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Warriors (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis album) at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC) |
- Hi Jonathan Deamer, I think I've done the best I can with the plot section; I've reduced it to 900-ish words. There's some complex details and lots of characters to deal with, so I don't think it's possible to remove much more without losing details. I considered removing the song titles but decided they're useful for locating points in the narrative. The 700-word limit is a guideline and there'll always be exceptions, so I think it should be fine. Good luck with your planned GA nom and cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC).
- Thanks so much; great work as ever. Much appreciated. Will let you know how I get on with the GA nom! Jonathan Deamer (talk) 20:26, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
