Boilover copyedit tag
Hi, you have added a CE tag to article Boilover. I am keen on improving it, do you care to give me some examples of what you saw needs improvement? The tag alone really does not help. Cheers. JudeFawley (talk) 01:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- The page is in pretty good shape, but it was listed here. The one-sentence lead is too short for an article of this length, and the article body has bold text that's not in accordance with MOS:NOBOLD. Some of the eight hits seem to be technical terms, but feel free to fix the two typos on the report. All the best, Miniapolis 02:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your swift answer. I was not aware of that GOCE page. The terms are indeed all technical (and their definition is given in the article), except for two, which are just equation subscripts that have registered as words. I will look into the lead (yes, probably too short) and the use of bold text. ---JudeFawley (talk) 03:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – May 2024
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
