Guideline and policy news
- Administrator elections are a proposed new process for selecting administrators, offering an alternative to requests for adminship (RfA). The first trial election will take place in October 2024, with candidate sign-up from October 8 to 14, a discussion phase from October 22 to 24, and SecurePoll voting from October 25 to 31. For questions or to help out, please visit the talk page at Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections.
- Following a discussion, the speedy deletion reason "File pages without a corresponding file" has been moved from criterion G8 to F2. This does not change what can be speedily deleted.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether there is a consensus to have an administrator recall process.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Historical elections has been closed.
- An arbitration case regarding Backlash to diversity and inclusion has been opened.
- Editors are invited to nominate themselves to serve on the 2024 Arbitration Committee Electoral Commission until 23:59 October 8, 2024 (UTC).
Miscellaneous
- If you are interested in stopping spammers, please put MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist and MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist on your watchlist, and help out when you can.
Hi Jp, nice to see one of your concise declines again. If you haven't already, please look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cyonsw. Is Kimyoungjini one of the group that is confirmed to Bleedroots or one of the possilikely group? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]The history page of that talk page is a mess. User talk:FuelTheFuego 24. One of the IPs admits to being that user.
(If you don't see this immediately, it's likely another admin cleared it up already) win8x (talking | spying) 02:33, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- I'm more inclined to just delete the whole page as vandalism. But I've rolled it back to the only edit from the actual user account, declined it, removed TPA, and protected the page. What a bore. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 02:38, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Restaurant supplies
[edit]These guys seem to be rather international, e.g.:
https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregidora
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritadeira
Is there a way to inform the other language versions of Wikipedia of this stuff? And should they be added to the global spam blacklist? Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 15:49, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Clarify, please. Which guys do you mean? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 20:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
