Administrators' newsletter – September 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).
- Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
- A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that
[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment
.
- Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166)
- The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming
local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus
. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged tonote when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful
.
- Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

Thank you for bringing Unserefahne's articles up for speedy delete
Thank you for bringing up all those articles created by the banned editor Unserefahne for speedy delete. I know that's not the most exciting work at Wikipedia, but it's important. Because of your hard work in helping clean up Wikipedia, I've gifted you the Cleanup Barnstar. (I know it's usually given for cleaning up articles, but I think it also applies to your work here.) Best, --SouthernNights (talk) 22:19, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Requesting the undoing of the deletion of Merry Littlemen, possibly a few others
![]() | Administrator help needed
|answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template. |
Hey, the banned user Qwerck recently reached out to me as I know him on another forum... hm, not exactly to ask for help, more like to vent a bit, as he was disappointed that all of his contributions were removed, even ones that he thought improved things... anyway, I looked at the edit histories to try to understand this mess a little, saw that (at first glance) this outcome seems to have been kinda his own fault for not paying much attention to Wikipedia's rules and ignoring warnings, but I asked him if there was anything in particular that he wanted me to help try and save.
He mentioned Category:Merry Littlemen (and the former Merry Littlemen article), The Golden Ball (novel) and Ai and Ky in the Realm of the Invisible Numbers.
Regarding the latter two, I really don't know anything about them at all, but I wonder if it would be possible to request a proper (rather than speedy) deletion discussion, as at least at first glance, they seem like they could be legitimate articles that could be improved, or proper sources found.
Regarding the first, though, I'd like to request un-deletion with the understanding that I'd try to improve it so that there are no issues. There was indeed a real Soviet series with some animated series and book, and has an article (ru:Весёлые человечки) in the Russian Wikipedia that could be used as a basis. The article before it was deleted could indeed have used a lot of improvement and the English name should probably be "Merry Little Men", but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard.
Thanks. Esn (talk) 06:56, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Esn! Firstly I should clarify that I’m not an administrator, and so won’t be able to help with the undeletion request - I’ll stick {{admin help}} above your message in a second so that you can receive a response on that front if nothing else.
- I should also clarify that I have no previous knowledge of User:Qwerck, and so (if it helps, though I appreciate it may well not) this was in no way intended a personal act towards them. My involvement in this started when I saw Bbb23’s comment on AN/I here. As Qwerck had been blocked as a suspected sockpuppet of a banned user (User:Unserefahne), any edits they made on that account were in violation of (and evading) a ban. Per WP:BANREVERT, any contributions made while evading a ban are liable to be undone by any user - the reason it was me is because I saw the comment on AN/I, and had nothing better to do with my time, so decided to do the reverting myself.
- (To responding admin: as well as Esn’s undeletion request, if there’s anything worth saying that I’ve missed out or unintentionally misrepresented in this response, I’d appreciate being filled in on that as well! Many thanks in advance - and sorry!
)
- Esn: Let me know if you have any questions about anything I’ve said, if you think I’ve misunderstood anything you’ve said, or if I’ve missed anything.
- All the best, user:A smart kittenmeow 07:28, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
