2025 Update from Women in Green

Hello Voorts:

2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!

For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!

This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!

Footballnerd2007 ANI

Please can you re-open this discussion? I thought that it was done, but then noticed this, which was @Bugghost: reverting Footballnerd's changes to multiple other editor's talk page posts. At the very least this editor needs a very firm talking to. Giant Snowman 10:05, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: has left them a message, hopefully that does the trick. Giant Snowman 10:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).

Worm That Turned

Oversight changes

Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news

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.

Technical news

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.

Arbitration

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.

Miscellaneous

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!

Could you explain your reasoning behind the G5? I see the extra edit where you put in some info, but I don't understand it enough to connect to a blocked user. Thanks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 23:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

G5 applies to blocks and bans. The editor who created the page is topic-banned from "the history of the Caucasus and its cultural heritage, broadly construed". See current AE request. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:00, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, got it. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 00:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
