News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2022).
- Consensus has been found in an RfC to automatically place RfAs on hold after one week.
- The article creation at scale RfC has been closed.
- An RfC on the banners for the December 2022 fundraising campaign has been closed.
- A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget. (T319449)
- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 12, 2022 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

- Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add
/64
to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.
A barnstar for you!

False accusations
You have accused me of not leaving an edit summary when anyone can see that I did so, and you have protected the article I was editing with a false accusation of vandalism. Why? 86.190.146.190 (talk) 10:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- Indeed, an anonymous user that takes off 17,663 characters, most of the work that was invested in the article by many, is a potential troll, and the deed is vandalism. It made no detailed explanation for this deletion, except "Removed unencyclopaedic material. Writing out in prose data which has no real encyclopaedic value and should be tabulated if it did, really is a waste of time". If this is done by a registered entity, the correct way to make such a change is to open a discussion about the article, and be open to potential other thoughts. Agmonsnir (talk) 11:00, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Agmonsnir @86.190.146.190 Blanking most of a page's material is the sort of thing you want to discuss on the talk page. I think there's some legitimate original research concerns here, but that's no excuse for edit warring. Please work it out while the article's semi-protected. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 17:37, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- You have failed to explain why you made two obviously false accusations. Was it consciously malicious, or merely incompetent? 86.152.114.125 (talk) 16:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morris Hills (musical rap artist) as "Delete"
You appear not to have deleted the article, though? This may be because the sock puppet creating editor moved it during the discussion 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:31, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- Nice catch, thanks! It's now deleted. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 22:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello milord. Paddykumar violated their TBAN soon after you enacted it it (diff). Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 23:16, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi, Lord Roem,
I don't think we've ever crossed paths in the past but I am seeing you a lot at AFD these days so I thought I'd say hello. I started editing Wikipedia as a registered editor in 2013 and went through a rather arduous RFA to become an admin in 2015. I also worked as an arbitration clerk for a few years when I was a newer editor which I saw you did as well so maybe there was a period of time where we overlapped there.
I only started closing deletion discussions about a year ago so I still consider myself a relative newbie compared to admins who have been doing admin work at AFD for years. I've agreed with all of your closures I've come across so maybe we have like minds! Any way, let me know if you ever need a hand or a second opinion. See you later on the daily AFD log page! And I hope 2023 is a healthy and happy year for you and yours! Liz Read! Talk! 04:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Liz, so nice to meet you! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the nice words. I'd hardly call myself a veteran, but I guess it's been... gosh, 12 years! Definitely doesn't feel like it.
- All the best for the new year as well! Lord Roem ~ (talk) 05:43, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
WP:Articles for deletion/Ike Awgu (3rd nomination)
I don't agree with your close at WP:Articles for deletion/Ike Awgu (3rd nomination). I seem to be criticized for not responding to an IP that surely should have virtually no weight, given that their comment was their sixth edit ever - and their previous editing history seems to be confined to this AFD. And rather non-sensical, given that it claims that the Globe and Mail - Canada's primary national newspaper - is local. Local not actually being mentioned in WP:GNG. And really - the Ottawa Citizen local? It's the national capital with over a million people - not a small town. Please relist. Nfitz (talk) 20:37, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Nfitz Hey there, thanks for reaching out. I don't disagree that the Globe and Mail article is a good argument, probably the strongest in favor of retention, but I ultimately felt the consensus, as judged through the lens of policy (GNG, BLP, NPOL), went the other way. You're welcome to bring this to WP:Deletion Review if you feel otherwise, or wait a month or so and request undeletion. Best, Lord Roem ~ (talk) 20:52, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- I guess I need to go back to WP:REFBOMBing, WP:BLUDGEONing, and WP:WABBITSEASON. It sees to be more effective than simply stating facts, providing references, and expecting the AFD process to reach a reasonable conclusion! Nfitz (talk) 23:15, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
I disagree with your close
I disagree with your close on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of compositions for viola: A to B (2nd nomination) (but I don't think another deletion review would be productive). Namely, whenever you say "simple mentions of policy". It's one thing to say "fails yadda-yadda" and not explain why, but when something is vehemently WP:INDISCRIMINATE then simply saying such is enough. I also disagree that citing WP:NLIST should have any merit when we already have a page on Wikipedia about this exact topic (really it's just a semantics game between "repertoire" and "list of compositions"), meaning that this page should only be held accountable by the content, not its subject. And the content fails WP:NOT; I feel you can discount a couple votes that said it had selection criteria (of which there is none). Like I said, I'm not taking it to deletion review because it still is a reasonable close, but I still disagree with it where you give too much weight to keep votes that make no sense. Why? I Ask (talk) 17:36, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Why? I Ask Hey there, thanks for swinging by. I think much of your analysis is correct, and I think you have fairly strong arguments here. I personally would lean Delete if I were participating in the discussion. That said, several of the Keep !votes had what I felt were direct rebuttals to your position that resulted in a split decision, and I do feel like I afforded them appropriate weight. It's not for me to impose my supervote if the community is divided. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 17:51, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- No, I understand that it's tough closing deletion reviews, and I appreciate the sincere closing reply. It's just that I would not have given those rebuttals much weight when they're (in my opinion) wrong. It's good to engage in debates, but sometimes the opposing view is just plain wrong when looking at all of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies (and as an admin, you would have good knowledge of them). There were a few keep votes that I felt didn't even read my nomination! Why? I Ask (talk) 17:59, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi Lord Loem. I edit conflicted with your close when I tried to add this comment to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Adventures of Mabel:

Would you relist the AfD? Thank you, Cunard (talk) 01:03, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Cunard That's a fair request, especially given the AfD hasn't been relisted yet. I've reversed the close and relisted so you have an opportunity to make your argument. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! Cunard (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Arbitration case Armenia-Azerbaijan 3 opened

Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Armenia-Azerbaijan 3/Evidence. If you would like to add evidence to the case, please add your evidence by February 10, 2023, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Armenia-Azerbaijan 3/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:08, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
