Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

As I mentioned on Nagol0929's talk page, I have another revdel request.

Currently this article, Vishuddhananda Paramahansa is under RFD for complete lack of WP:RS, and has been frequented by sockpuppets who keep adding copyvio material and sources that are blog/wikiclone level. The five edits I think are worthy of revdel are by User:Akhila257 (currently under sock investigation here) as they readded some same and some similar stuff that we keep telling these new popup editors is not acceptable sourcing.

I admit that I might have part of the request I made on the page wrong as I had copied the previous request thinking the user had readded the same things again, but since then I see that one of the two sources I mentioned was not used. If that needs to be corrected by me, I will do so.

If you feel that revdel is not needed due to the likelihood of the RFD passing (Currently on day 2, and so far a unanimous Delete among all nonIP/non brand new popup users), that's fine too.

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—returns again this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now.

Hi Dan,

I have read your email again and realize I need to disclose my employment with Rutgers on my CHeherPeters page. If I do this, using the following:

{{paid|user=CHeherPeters|employer=Rutgers University |client=School of Communication and Information}}.

will I be able to edit again?

I am an employee of the Rutgers School of Communication and Information so I am being paid as an employee while I work to update our Wikipedia page.

Many thanks for your help,

Hi CHeherPeters, thanks for your message. Yes, that looks like the appropriate template to put on your user page at User:CHeherPeters. Thank you in advance for that disclosure. I see you mentioned on your talk page that you plan to propose edits for review on the article's talk page (at Talk:Rutgers School of Communication and Information). That'll be great! You can add the {{edit COI}} template when you do that to put it in the review queue. Just some advice – your proposals will probably be more successful if they are summarizing information from reliable, independent sources in your own words (i.e., don't just copy/paste from the school's website because it's typically not written in the style that Wikipedia likes). Good luck.

Another editor recently brought Pomona College to featured article status, meaning it was reviewed and determined to be a high-quality article, so you might find that helpful in terms of the sourcing that works well in college/university-related articles.

Hi! I just noticed and reverted a batch of copyright-violating edits on Hannam University by Minera1water (talk · contribs). Seeing as you handled the previous case of this by the same editor in Special:Permalink/1215245276, I though I would let you know, and maybe you could handle it.

Hello DanCherek,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

So far I have accepted one edit and tried to delete one (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Daddy_Yankee&diff=prev&oldid=1218239310); for the last one, I had to remove it manually (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Daddy_Yankee&diff=prev&oldid=1218250556) because of the message "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking.

@JackkBrown: Hmm, not quite sure. I'm seeing sporadic reports in noticeboard archives from other people who received the same message in the past (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4), so the first thing I would suggest is to review a few more pending changes to see if you encounter the same issue again, and if you do, try some of the suggestions in those threads (like clearing cookies, trying a different browser, etc.). Hope that helps.

Hello. I hope you are doing well. I have an inquiry about editing about a person who has little sources of information talking about her.

Hi DivineGaby, is this about an existing article or one that you want to create? In general, the extent of significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources is how notability is determined, so if there is too little existing information, it could be an indicator that there is not enough to merit an article at this time. But it's hard to generalize, so if you have a specific topic in mind, that would be helpful.

@DivineGaby: Thanks! Yeah, there's definitely enough to establish notability and I see you've already cited some good sources, like the Court article. Here are a few more I found from a quick search that might be helpful: [1][2]. Anyways, my advice would be to just go through all of the relevant sources you can find and add whatever information you find about her. It's okay if some parts are not as comprehensive as others if the sourcing isn't there – that can always be challenging when writing about historical people.

Hello DanCherek. Thank you for moderating. However, the statements under 'Clinical use of Bone Segment Navigation' are wrong as the literature I cited shows.

Thank you, DanCherek. You are right. I suggest the following text, which is in my own words:

Bone segment navigation is a patented ^[1][2] surgical procedure, using a frameless and markerless registration technique. It uses for the first time natural registration surfaces instead of single artificial x-ray visible markers, in order to achieve a higher precision (1 mm and better).^[3] Previous methods of Cutting and Watzinger do not meet the criteria of bone segment navigation.^[4]

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.

Specifically, this one?, and does it contain the same content you removed from the article 2024-05-11? Different account, but you can see the relevant albeit messy SPI here.

@GreenLipstickLesbian: I don't see any overlap between the new edit and the one from a few weeks ago. That said, given the checkuser findings at SPI and the continued copying from that Internet Archive source, it seems like an indefinite block is in order for Khotanese26, right?

If it had been the exact same, it would have been a really easy block. Given that it's not the same, but that the same pattern of behaviour, + the CU evidence + the overlap in interest, and that this is the second time they've apparently committed a blatant copy-vio, I think an admin would be fully justified in blocking the Kotanese26 account. I'll leave it to you, but that's my opinion.

Hi, there are a few different issues here. Since you are affiliated with the article subject as a councilman, you should provide the proper disclosure as advised at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest — that means disclosing the relationship on your user page, on the talk page of the article, and/or in your edit summaries. Be sure to read that full COI guideline for best practices regarding this. In this case, the guideline applies even if you are not specifically being paid to make changes to the article.

We can only accept text that has been verified to be explicitly released into the public domain or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license (such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, CC BY-SA 4.0). The Saddle River website does not indicate that, so I removed the text. Previously published content may be released by the copyright owner by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. I will point out, however, that Wikipedia is primarily interested in what reliable sources have to say about a particular subject, not what it says about itself, and articles should be based on reliable, independent, secondary sources. Much of the content that you added to the article was promotionally written and not neutral enough for an encyclopedic article.

Once you have reviewed the conflict of interest guidelines, I recommend suggesting any future edits that you'd like to make on the talk page of the article, using edit requests. You may find the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard helpful. Thank you.

Hello @DanCherek. You deleted the article about Exilissa for no reason other than that the creator was banned in another account.

The tune on which BWV 20 (last Sunday) rests can be heard here, and lilypond might rather go to the hymn than the cantata.

Dear DanCherek

I am not an English speaker and I may make mistakes in writing. I am the only one working with this account. I am very interested in cinema and I am familiar with some directors. Behrouz Sebt Rasoul is a popular director and I have been taking all the photos and posters of his movies for years. Among the cases that were criticized, the source of the news is the company of Mr. Behrouz Sebt Rasoul. For example, the news that was taken from Nama Film Company. I would never give a reference if I wanted to break the rules. Those materials were actually quoted from references, but I must not have known how to write them. Please allow me to edit the pages and do not delete the pages.

Thankful

Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be summarized in your own words and ideally cited to independent sources, because we're more interested in what secondary sources have to say about a particular subject rather than what it says about itself. Feel free to recreate the articles if you write it in your own words. Overly lengthy quotations aren't great either, per our policy on non-free content. The contents of the deleted articles were almost entirely copied from other websites, so it's probably better to start from a clean slate at this point.

Probably not vandalism, just someone who removed it based on their own opinion (not ideal either).

Thank you so much for help with the format for the proverbs quoted in Ndau and English in the Ndau dialect article. I had done the same for a Mongo language article this weekend, so I just went and changed those proverbs to follow the same style. I plan to add proverbs in this way for all the African language articles for which there are good bilingual proverb collections in the public domain or in books/articles available at Internet Archive, so your edits will help me with all those proverbs yet to come too.

I wasn't spamming and if it seemed that way it wasn't meant to appear that way and it wasn't J. M. Barrie's Amazon bio I was using I was only trying to raise awareness of Peter Von Brown since he apparently is a renown scholar on the subject of James Matthew Barrie receiving Honors at Knox College for his Independent Study of Sir J.M. Barrie as a Modern Mythmaker and was privy to the actual unused notes left by J.M. Barrie himself, jotted down as Barrie mused upon a new adventure for Pan.

Administrator DanCherek this was only to make aware of the author, some of your Users feel he is not worth mentioning because he self-publishes but one shouldn't disregard him if he is somewhat established. This is precisely why I stepped back from editing on Wikipedia because it caused too many unnecessary conflicts with others who were consistently squabbling with one another over what was best for such and such articles on Wikipedia. I try to return to help out in contributing in some way or other and now it starts all over again.

I'm sorry if you feel like your contributions aren't valued at Wikipedia. They are important. When editors disagree about a part of an article, it's typically resolved through discussion on the talk page, so I'm glad you are giving your thoughts at Talk:List of works based on Peter Pan. My initial post on your talk page was simply a request after I noticed that you were copy/pasting a similar blurb about von Brown's credentials to multiple pages. It's best to keep discussion centralized at the talk page in question. I understand your frustration and hope you feel better.

Hi FJ Hale, thanks for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia. The primary criteria for determining whether someone is notable enough for a Wikipedia article is the extent of significant coverage that they have received in reliable, independent sources. See also the notability guideline for people for more information about this. At the moment, the only source in the draft is the Air Force Space Command biography. It needs more sources that cover him in detail to establish notability.

Thank you!

I found it difficult to point at a YouTube sample, because yes, her signature roles - the Nurse and Brangäne - exist in great full-length operas with great casts, but hard to find her, - well, for the Nurse she's easy to find, at the very beginning, but too much orchestra to really hear the personal quality of her voice. - Talking of YouTube: today I was pointed at Elijah by a friend who performed in the concert of the Dessoff Choirs in their centenary year, and I'm quite impressed by samples (beginning and No. 32 where I linked it) - enjoy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 19 July 2024 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240719100600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240719100600-DanCherek-20240718224300","replies":[]}}-->

Dear Daniel Cherek,

I recently published a Biography of an Academic of the National Royal Academy of Pharmacy of Spain, Bartolomé Ribas, who happens to be my grandfather, and you have deleted my publication because, firstly, it was written in Spanish, and secondly, it "violated the copyright guidelines". You have to know, that I am new to Wikipedia and am only using it for the first time because my Grandfather, Bartolomé Ribas Ozonas requested me to write his Biography in Wikipedia as a favor I m willing to do because he is unable to use the internet at his 89 years old... The content that I supposedly "copyrighted" is actually only his own document he gave me so I can fill out his biography with that exact data. I have his explicit consent and I am furthermore not entering in any kind of plagiarism, even if it may seem so to anyone who is alien to this topic and to me, as the author of a biograohy I am obviously an expert about. You should also understand, that because it is my first time publishing a Wikipedia page, that I made the accidental misktake of publishing it in the English Wikipedia instead of the Spanish Wikipedia. This is due to the fact that my computer is set in English and my grandfather, as is name and his biography states, if you have read it, speaks and works in Spanish. It appears that all of my hard work, carefully writing down all of the achievements he has made in his lifetime of being a successfull doctor and investigator, has been deleted, and now there is no way for me to recover them in my account. I am very dissapointed with this and I please beg you to send me the content back so I can publish it correctly again in the Spanish Wikipedia, and also with the due copyright rules I would also ask you to better explain to me so my page will not be deleted again.

Best Regards,

Hi Dxneo! Basically it’s a tool called revision deletion (WP:Revision deletion). For certain types of policy-violating content, administrators have the ability to hide specific revisions from public view. Blatant copyright violations are one of those cases (see WP:RD1) and that’s what it was in this case. The message that you saw is simply a log that shows that I performed revision deletion at that article. Hope that makes sense!

Hi DanCherek, I am unfamiliar with the sockfarm in question, but did find out while investigating the GAN that one of the socks uploaded a few images on commons. Is there a history of copyright violations with this farm that would warrant particular concern about the provenance of those images?

Hey CMD, I haven't looked too closely at the Commons contribs of previous socks, but based on my recollection there was some copyvio but also some (apparently) own work. My recommendation would probably be to do a quick reverse image search and if nothing obvious pops up, it could very well plausibly be a photo they took themselves. (I can take a quick look later too.) I don't know enough about Commons procedures to recommend any specific actions about suspected but unproven copyvio images.

I actually did a tineye check on them earlier and didn't find anything, but it's not at all a perfect system and I've dealt with farms that copied images not available there. Looking at it a bit more the original account is unblocked on Commons and editing simultaneously with the socks, so there may not be too much point just looking at the new sock in isolation.
