Guideline and policy news
- Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
- Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the
delete-redirectuserright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.
Technical news
- When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
- Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Deletion of Draft:Ramdas Padhye(ventriloquist)
I was working on the article on Ramdas Padhye and was working on it under Special:MyPage/Ramdas_Padhye However the article was moved to Draft:Ramdas Padhye I was still working on the article and had placed {{subst:submit}} The article was in development stage. However it was deleted due to G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement. Also there was {{OTRS pending}} How can I continue working on the draft? The draft keeps on getting deleted. Also if the draft is kept, other users can improve the article submitted by me. Please do help as I am new to wikipedia guidelines and it is difficult to write an article for me in my own words. I request you to improve the article if possible. Indiapuppet (talk) 13:34, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Don't start with content that someone else has written unless they have already agreed to license it appropriately. Start fresh and develop your own references and content. UninvitedCompany 11:16, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Consensus was reached to deprecate Wikipedia:Editor assistance.
- Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.
Technical news
- Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.
Arbitration
- After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.

- Hello, Emil. I am genuinely pleased to make your acquaintance. We share an interest in music and composition. I regret to inform you that Wikipedia strongly discourages individuals from creating and editing articles about themselves. Please see Wikipedia:Autobiography for the rationale, history, and some narrow exceptions. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia, and please accept my best wishes for your future in composition and performance. UninvitedCompany 14:29, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
