RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

• Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
• Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
• Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
• Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
• Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
• Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
• Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
• Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Leucippus

Bro your article Leucippus is the featured article of the day 48JCL 00:38, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

So it is! I had completely forgotten that it was scheduled to be on the main page. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:21, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Leucippus was the first person to propose that matter is made of microscopic particles called atoms. What makes this impressive is that he lived over 2,000 years before atoms were actually discovered. Of course, Leucippus's atoms were quite different from the ones we know to exist: he contended that they were totally indivisible, and that they came in infinitely many shapes and sizes. Using his concept of atoms, he developed explanations for the creation of the world and the existence of a physical soul. Despite his importance in the history of philosophy, almost all information about his life and his writings has been lost, and what we know comes from second-hand accounts. He has since been overshadowed by his more famous student, Democritus."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

BorgQueen Yep! I think it turned out really well, though I'm still trying to figure out the exact format and sourcing style that works the best (especially for the events lists). I've got something similar in progress at 2002 and 2003. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:07, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Great to hear that. Do you still need Ein Engel in der Hölle von Auschwitz by the way? I can get a copy and scan the relevant chapters for you if you'd like. A secondhand copy is only about 10 euros from Amazon Germany. BorgQueen (talk) 12:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to get its main subject Maria Stromberger to FA. But I wouldn't ask you to go out of your way like that, especially since I'd need the whole book and, until there's an English translation, I'm limited in what I could do with it. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

"DYK shouldn't feature anything contentious or charged."

Re your comment in Wikipedia talk:Did you know that "DYK shouldn't feature anything contentious or charged. That's just not appropriate for the main page.": this seems a little tone-deaf coming from someone who not that long ago successfully (and appropriately!) nominated LGBT representation in The Simpsons for DYK. The fact that it was nominated for deletion three months later (by someone later sanctioned for problematic views on gender-related topics) should make it obvious that there are plenty of people who will consider any visibility for LGBT representation as something that is contentious and charged. I am not one of those people, of course...just pointing out that they exist. What is unremarkable or worth highlighting to you and me may well be contentious or charged to others. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:01, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
