Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page.

Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.
Arbitration
Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.

Hi @Lorant.szabo, unfortunately I cannot retrieve the contents of the deleted page, since I am not an administrator on the Romanian language Wikipedia, only the English language one (en.wikipedia.org). You will have to ask an administrator on that project for assistance. Some useful links that I found:

Hello Aiplaneman,
I'm reaching out to you, as a page I've created in my Sandbox got deleted due to conflict of intereses. I'm fresh at Wikipedia, and to be honest, I believed my Sandbox is my "Safe space" to experiment, that's why I created a page of a company, just to see how it would look like.
As far as i understand, I should have done it as a draft - my bad. Could you please help me in saving my effort into an acceptable form?
Thank you!
All my best,

@Aldentyzm: I'm confused. It appears you removed the content yourself: Special:Diff/1201783363. Removing content in an edit is distinct from deletion, which removes edits or pages from public view. In this case, the edit has not been removed from public view, so you can still find it in the page history.

I feel so ridiculous. I put together a page under this account for a local artist. It took me quite some time. Apparently, I got a message months ago that I never saw until I did a search... and now I fear the whole page has been deleted. To be clear, I am not the artist; I am a fan creating one for him (Atomik). If you could help me in resurrecting the page/getting it vetted, I would be so appreciative. My business is: awritingconcierge.com for reference.

The conflict of interest (COI) guidelines probably also apply in this situation. To encourage transparency and objectively-written content, Wikipedia volunteers have come up with the COI guidelines, which include disclosure requirements for individuals writing about individuals or entities that they have a relationship with, particularly if they are being paid to do so. Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Hi @Shrutigoel2018:, I believe you are referring to the contributions you made to Draft:HyperVerge.

Hi, Airplaneman!
I feel happy at least knowing someone out there with far more knowledge of wikipedia than myself can assist. I understand the guidelines; however, I wrote the piece as an admirer of the artist. If that page can't be restored, can I resubmit a new page? It took me a long time to create that content (essentially, just figuring out how the wikipedia platform works) - which is why I'd be forever in someone's debt if it could be restored. If not, please let me know emphatically "no" - and I will proceed with a new page. Thank you!

A copy of my email reply, minus the deleted content:
Hi Allison,
Sorry again for the delay in my reply. I've removed my name from the list of people you probably found me on, since I am not volunteering anywhere near daily these days.
As for the article draft about Atomik that we've been talking about, I am unsure that Wikipedia volunteers would consider the subject to meet the General Notability Guidelines mentioned here. If you are able to establish the notability (notability as defined by the guidelines) of the subject by including significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, the article is more likely to be kept.
I am still unsure about restoring the article draft as it was deleted, since that would in some ways be a reversal of the previous administrative decision made by administrator User:Jimfbleak, and I don't want to set you up for additional disappointment by restoring content on-wiki that will likely be re-deleted. However, I know writing articles takes a lot of work, and it is tough to see the work removed. I am attaching a copy of the page below in this email.
All the best,
Airplaneman

I'm new to wikipedia and recently I created my first page about my friend's family business and it was an unpaid task. One editor @Jimfbleak got back to me and believe there's a conflict of interst creating this page so he/r suggested I check out the COI related article, revise it and ask him to review before publish. Would you be able to help me retrive the content so I can make it right? Thank you so much.

Hello, would you be able to send me a copy of the page Cojum Dip before its deletion? Although it redirects to Tally Hall since 2023, it used to have some content in 2005 before being deleted shortly after. That page also used to contain Image:WOW.jpg, and I would also appreciate if you can recover this image.
Thank you very much. 57EML (talk) 12:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240423124200","author":"57EML","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-57EML-20240423124200-Copy_of_previously_deleted_page","replies":["c-Airplaneman-20240713181400-57EML-20240423124200"]}}-->
The old revisions of the page are still publicly accessible. You can view them here. You can go to Help:Page history for more information on how to navigate page histories. I'm not sure what Image:WOW.jpg is supposed to refer to, but the file appears to be accessible as well.

In this edit, the editor states that he is a paid representative of Tristen Larsen. Therefore not an autobiography, but a WP:PAID editor. And that brings up an issue with the username (WP:IMPERSONATE). --Drm310🍁 (talk) 17:04, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240627170400","author":"Drm310","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Drm310-20240627170400-Iadmc-20240627151300","replies":[]}}-->

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.
I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.
Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.
