Administrators' newsletter – March 2019

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.

Arbitration

  • The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
    • paid-en-wp@wikipedia.org has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
    • checkuser-en-wp@wikipedia.org has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.

Dante's AfD

[edit]

You closed this AfD as no consensus. Dante's AfD. A good amount of effort was put into articulating my justification and I would like to see more debate go on. Can this be re-opened? Can this be re-nominated as you declared it as no-consensus? Graywalls (talk) 07:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a marginal case, I've granted your request. -- King of 01:18, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does Talk:Dante's need to be updated as well, since the discussion is ongoing again? ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:34, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
