Hello. I have made complaints for several times at many instances of the Wikipedia, but until now didn't get any constructive answer. I seems that Wiki bureacrats are afraid of taking a decision against discrimination. Years ago I composed a text ('''Pedro Scuro''') which - entirely out of the blue - was considered "promotional" by some reviewer, who did not care to explain his reasons. This was said to be a "gentle approach", followed by silence and by a discriminatory block against myself. Utterly disgusted with such a misogynist attitude I simply gave up contributing, until last week, when I edited a new article ('''Francesco Sidoti''') which seems to blocked as well. I then decided to ask for Dispute Resolution but the matter seems so complicated that no answer was given. I believe that now I'm addressing an editor with a fresh approach. Hope i'm not wrong ... again. Awainting your kind reply. Down with discrimination! Yours [[User:Peiris Fox|Peiris Fox]] ([[User talk:Peiris Fox|talk]]) 15:07, 11 March 2020 (UTC) |

A survey to improve the community consultation outreach process
Hello!
The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.
Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.
The privacy policy for this survey is here. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.
Thank you for your participation, Kbrown (WMF) 10:45, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

 | Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. 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.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add |

Guideline and policy news
- An RfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
- Following a proposal, the edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.
Technical news
- Wikimedia projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows the setting of a different default block length for IP editors. Neither is currently used. (T219126)
Arbitration
- Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 2 December 2018 UTC. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.

Draft:123456 --> 123456
More than ten years ago, you applied indefinite full-protection. However, for the last five years 123456 has been the most used password and has become a textbook example of a weak password. Therefore, I think the number is notable enough to warrant a disambiguation page. I submitted the page for creation at WP:AFC, but AngusWOOF rejected it. There has never been a deletion discussion concerning this page, but your decade-year-old comment that consensus this isn't a notable number
has stood in the way of its creation. Could you please re-review this matter and ping me a response? 
–MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 20:19, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- @MJL: - I've unprotected the page. I suggest you start a discussion at deletion review about the page. PhilKnight (talk) 20:35, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll move the draft now then start a review when I get back home. Thank you so much! 😀 –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 20:39, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- MJL, PhilKnight, the items in the dab need to be elaborated upon as they don't meet MOS:DABMENTION. Otherwise this will end up being a redirect to the password. I don't see the value of listing the other options at this time as it isn't 123 (disambiguation) AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:53, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
- @AngusWOOF: a redirect with possibilities is fine with me. I just wanted the navigational aide. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 22:27, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
Arbitration
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being
the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted
rather thanreasonably construed
. - Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.

Peter Carey
Peter specifically (if it is indeed peter)) was trying to do up the article about himself, and then, due to the very thoughtful editors who love process - proceeded to identify coi and block, and now you have released him onto wikipedia. who is there to help or monitor his understanding of what wikipedia is WP:NOT ? I do not think from his first attempt he has any idea, I have tried to raise his response (nothing), and some people whom I thought were in contact with him, (no luck), and I really think there is something very lacking in the whole process... maybe wikipedia process, but with a potentially valuable contributor, all haste and little or no anything else... I do hope I am wrong. JarrahTree 00:09, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
- The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with
wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input
. No proposed process received consensus.
Technical news
- Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
- When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [1]
Arbitration
- Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators
that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.
- Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators

- The English Wikipedia has reached six million articles. Thank you everyone for your contributions!
Block extension
Not to step on your toes, but I extended User_talk:50.102.207.35's block to 3 months given the block history. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 14:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
Russia page
You know, I am trying to help people learn and people like you are disrupting it, I have good faith in putting good and accurate information for everyone. I request that the page at least has a steady sign instead of decrease because Russia's population decline did halt. I'm so mad that nobody will even allow me to help, it's so disgraceful and intolerable that I can't even edit one thing without being threatened by another user. Please fix at least part of the page or else the warring may continue and if you block me, then people will never learn anything from bad sources. Either we settle this issue now or the warring proceeds, end of story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IntercontinentalEmpire (talk • contribs)
- You need to establish a consensus on the talk page. If you continue to edit war, I'll be forced to block you. PhilKnight (talk) 17:18, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

- The 2020 appointees for the Ombudsman commission are Ajraddatz and Uzoma Ozurumba; they will serve for one year.
Anthony McGowan Article
Hi, the anonymous account that you blocked for 24 hours for vandalising the Anthony McGowan article is right back at it. It appears to be McGowan's niece, doing it for a prank (she includes things like "Veronica Hayes is the best niece ever"). Please ban them, if possible. Lilipo25 (talk) 22:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Lilipo25, I've blocked them for 7 days. PhilKnight (talk) 22:53, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Bullied for years
Hello. I have made complaints for several times at many instances of the Wikipedia, but until now didn't get any constructive answer. I seems that Wiki bureacrats are afraid of taking a decision against discrimination. Years ago I composed a text (Pedro Scuro) which - entirely out of the blue - was considered "promotional" by some reviewer, who did not care to explain his reasons. This was said to be a "gentle approach", followed by silence and by a discriminatory block against myself. Utterly disgusted with such a misogynist attitude I simply gave up contributing, until last week, when I edited a new article (Francesco Sidoti) which seems to blocked as well. I then decided to ask for Dispute Resolution but the matter seems so complicated that no answer was given. I believe that now I'm addressing an editor with a fresh approach. Hope i'm not wrong ... again. Awainting your kind reply. Down with discrimination! Yours Peiris Fox (talk) 15:07, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
