May thanks

May songs
my story today

Thank you for improving articles in May. - I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day. And the following day we sang it for the composer ;)

I nominated Soňa Červená for GA just to give her a bit more exposure, and I took some pics of bright scenery - click on songs. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:43, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, nice pictures and GA nomination! I think Soňa Červená is a solid article, and also, thanks for your help on Maria Mies! Tails Wx 20:03, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
I did a bit for the latter, but it was SusunW who turned the unusual article into a Wikipedia article ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:05, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Yeah-though I must credit and thank you two for expanding, referencing, and fixing the article! Tails Wx 20:15, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
She did much more than I did - I took pictures outside, also new memory and music, and ten years ago I had a DYK for my most serious article --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Nice! Another ITN–thanks to you and SusunW for you help in promoting the article to ITN! Tails Wx 18:30, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Thank you! - Pentecost was full of music, and my story today is that 300 years ago today, Bach became Thomaskantor, with BWV 75, writing music history. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Ooh, Bach became Thomaskantor? I never knew that, I’ve played his music for some time! Tails Wx 01:13, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Question from MorgansGirl (10:45, 14 June 2023)

Hi Tails, hope you’re doing well! Back in February I was trying to get a website whitelisted (www.gareththomas-actor.com) as a legit external resource for the entry on Gareth Thomas (1945-2016). I can’t seem to find out if it was ever resolved, or even what the response was, but the link isn’t in the article, so I’m assuming it wasn’t sorted. Are you able to help by any chance? Thank you! MorgansGirl --MorgansGirl (talk) 10:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, MorgansGirl! I did enter in a request, but there was no response, and was archived, unfortunately. I might enter in a new request or even ask an admin for assistance on the whitelisting in the next few days. Hope you’re doing well! Tails Wx 21:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Help on getting a Wikipedia page reviewed

Hi Tails,

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Wikipedia page: Draft:Azure Event Hubs - Wikipedia

I just need some help in understanding how we can get the updated content reviewed again. I submitted my changes several months ago and it is still in the pending status. Anything I need to do to it from my side.

Thanks in advance for your help and contribution to Wikipedia. Kasunindrasiri (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Kasunindrasiri! The updated content can be reviewed again by another reviewer no later than 2 months (my estimate,) but it's because there's Category:Pending AfC submissions ~4,500+ other drafts waiting for review, which is probably why it's taking a very long time. Thanks for your patience! And if you want me to review and see if it satisfies WP:NCORP, feel free to ask! Tails Wx 16:57, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Tails,
I really appreciate, your quick response. I'll be great if you review the updated content and share any feedback on it. Thanks in advance. Kasunindrasiri (talk) 22:12, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Alright, will do! I'll start reviewing and will give feedback when the review concludes! Tails Wx 23:29, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, Tails. I really appreciate your help. Please let me know if you any new feedback on the updated article. Kasunindrasiri (talk) 17:14, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Sorry about the delay, I’m on the last portions of the draft. Thanks for your patience, feedback will be given no later than the fourth of June! Tails Wx 01:11, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Well, a reviewer declined it before I would give my feedback, but I concur; some sources have passing or even no mention of the platform, and a few paragraphs have no reliable sources. You could also check the reviewer’s comment as well! Tails Wx 15:32, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, Tails. I'm working on updating the draft with the new feedback. Kasunindrasiri (talk) 13:07, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Study Invitation

Hey @Tails Wx, thanks for your support in the Discord channel and on my talk page. I wonder if you are still interested in our ongoing study for patrollers. The study aims to evaluate AI models that power recent change filters, Huggle, SWViewer, and many other anti-vandal tools. Your feedback can be really helpful! If you're interested, please check out our recruitment page for more information. Thank you for your consideration! Tzusheng (talk) 02:53, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey Tails Wx! I wanted to ask if you could assess Tornado outbreak of February 12, 1945 to see if it qualifies as a B class article. I don’t feel comfortable rating the article since I did most of the edits on it. Thank you in advance! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:11, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

It looks fine! Just one thing—is there any other information for the 5 remaining tornadoes on the list? Tails Wx 22:11, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
I checked just about everything I could. I can’t even find other sources about any of the tornadoes. A passing mention here and there for the Montgomery one, but the others are sourced out. I think B class is about as high as the article could go sadly since there isn’t any other information out there. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 04:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol needs your help!
