News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2021).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

Arbitration

  • A motion has standardised the 500/30 (extended confirmed) restrictions placed by the Arbitration Committee. The standardised restriction is now listed in the Arbitration Committee's procedures.
  • Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
  • The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.

Miscellaneous

  • Editors have approved expanding the trial of Growth Features from 2% of new accounts to 25%, and the share of newcomers getting mentorship from 2% to 5%. Experienced editors are invited to add themselves to the mentor list.
  • The community consultation phase of the 2021 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process is open for editors to provide comments and ask questions to candidates.

For Draft Article https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Draft:Jacky_Liew_(Si_Gongzi)

Hi, Justiyaya, I am worried about whether the page will be approve. As I had put all of the information and reliable sources that could proves his notability, but it is in Chinese. I heard that if no English sources, the pages will not be pass right? Arrisontan (talk) 09:51, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

@Arrisontan I don't think the language of the source impacts its usability, although the lack of sources in English may impact most reviewer's ability to judge the notability of the subject, causing more delay. I have not looked at the sources/citations in this version of the draft but a previous version had notability issues, please make sure that the draft meets WP:GNG. Justiyaya 11:08, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
@Justiyaya Yes, I had made ensure there were at least three independent sources for it, may you help and review? Arrisontan (talk) 12:22, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
@Arrisontan If you send me links to three sources here then I maybe can... I'm sorta busy right now so it might take a while. Justiyaya 22:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
@Justiyaya Sure, thank you for your help.

Sources (in order)
  1. Written by subject
  2. See below
  3. See below
  4. Based on front cover, does not appear to published by any publishing agency, questionable reliability?
  5. Written by subject
Source 2 and 3 appears to be connected to the Chinese government, while there is no WP:RSPS discussion on the two sources, news networks connected to the Chinese government's usability really varies, for example, CGTN is deprecated in RSPS, while Xinhua is considered generally reliable.
Non independent sources should not be used to determine notability.
@Arrisontan This isn't a clear cut case, the subject isn't clearly notable or clearly not notable, but I would be leaning accept if I reviewed your article. If your draft is not accepted, I would advise that you stop working on the draft for a while and work on something else on Wikipedia, see WP:TASK for details :D Justiyaya 12:02, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Thank you for your tireless contributions and commitment to Wikipedia. You deserve this barnstar! ToyBear33 (talk) 07:55, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi ToyBear33, thanks for the barnstar, I've noticed that you haven't made much contributions yet, you might find you might find WP:TASK useful, and I've left a message on your user talk page, links in that message might be helpful too. Justiyaya 14:43, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Mentorship

Hi Justiyaya! I'm working on a new article to publish and am in search of an adopter. Is that something you'd be interested in exploring at the moment? Thanks! WhichWench (talk) 06:39, 17 October 2021 (UTC)WhichWench

Hi WhichWench, I'm FormalDude! I'd be happy to take you on as an adoptee if you'd like. Take a look at my user page for some background about me. ––FormalDude talk 07:04, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
@WhichWench Thanks for the offer, but I'm probably not the best at writing articles, FormalDude is much better at that, I'm more focused on pending changes reviewing and removing vandalism, so they're probably a much better fit for you :D Justiyaya 07:27, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
@FormalDude Thanks to you both for getting back to me! FormalDude I'll chat with you over on your Talk Page :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhichWench (talk • contribs) 07:35, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Diksha patel 16, welcome to Wikipedia, you might find WP:IMAGES or WP:COMMONS useful for uploading and adding images to wikipedia. You might also find Help:Introduction useful as a general guide to editing and contributing to Wikipedia. Justiyaya 07:26, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Growth Newsletter #19

Welcome to the nineteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in Wikimedia projects.

Structured tasks

"Add an image" prototype, showing suggested image for the article
  • "Add a link" is the team's first structured task. It uses machine-learning to suggest wikilinks as easy edits for newcomers. It was deployed in May 2021 on four Wikipedias and then in July on eight more Wikipedias after we evaluated the initial results. So far, we've seen a high level of engagement from newcomers. Communities that have the feature suggested valuable ideas for improvement. We'll work on improvements and then contact more communities to deploy it.
  • "Add an image" is the team's second structured task, currently in development. It is an editing task that suggests Commons images for unillustrated Wikipedia articles. We have conducted many community discussions and tests. Then, we've decided to build a first prototype. We'll first deploy it only to our pilot Wikipedias, to learn whether newcomers can be successful with the task. The project page contains links to interactive prototypes. We are very interested to hear your thoughts on this idea as we build and test the early versions. These prototypes have already been tested by newcomers, in English and Spanish.

News for mentors

  • The Mentor dashboard is available at our pilot wikis: Arabic, Czech, and Bengali Wikipedias. It will soon be available at a few more volunteering wikis, as a test. [1]
  • At wikis where the mentor dashboard is deployed, a new filter is available for mentors. Mentors can monitor their mentees' activity in Watchlist and RecentChanges, so they can help support their mentees' work. For privacy reasons, this filter can't be accessed by someone else than the mentor itself. This filter only filters mentees assigned to the mentor. This filter is not visible for people who are not listed as mentors [2]

Community configuration

  • Communities now have the ability to configure how Growth features behave on their own wikis. At Special:EditGrowthConfig, community members can add a list of volunteer mentors, alter the templates used for suggested edits, update help links, and more. This special page is editable by administrators and interface admins.

Scaling

  • We are proud to announce that all Wikipedias now have the Growth features! Thank you to all the community members who helped the team build the features and bring them to their wikis. The only exception is Chinese Wikipedia (zh), for technical reasons. [3]
  • The wikis that have Growth features deployed have been part of A/B testing since deployment, in which some newcomers did not receive the new features. Now, all of the newcomers on 280 of the smallest of those Wikipedias have the features. [4][5]
  • A test is undergoing at English Wikipedia: 25% of newcomers receive the Growth features. The results from this test will be part of a discussion of how to proceed on that wiki.
  • Now that Growth features are available at Wikipedia, the Growth team considers to extend them to other projects. Some Wikisource users have expressed some interest in getting Growth features. There is currently a discussion about implementing them on Wikisource.

News for communities

  • Do you have questions about the Growth features? This translatable FAQ contains answers to the most common questions about the Growth team work.
  • The Growth features were recently used in a test amongst Latin American donors to give donors the opportunity to learn to edit. You can see the results here.
  • Interface translations are important for newcomers. Please help for your language, by translating or copyediting interface translations for the Growth features.
  • Help:GettingStarted was a feature developed in 2013, which directed newcomers to articles that needed editing. We recently removed this feature from all wikis, because it has been replaced by the Growth features.

Question from JohnR650 (13:55, 27 October 2021)

Hello Justiyaya, Can I convert a page into the Russian Language as a one off? --JohnR650 (talk) 13:55, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

@JohnR650 If I understand correctly, you are trying to translate a page into Russian, if I'm wrong, please correct me.
Please keep in mind that this is English Wikipedia, so you shouldn't add non-English content here (as in in wiki.riteme.site) unless you intend on translating it.
Although feel free to translate non-English articles to English (see WP:TRANSLATE), or translate articles from here to other languages on other Wikipedias. Justiyaya 14:34, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
