3rd amendment

Hi Kevin! Hope you're doing well, all things considered. I've been working on Engblom v. Carey—one of the only federal 3rd amendment cases—and thought you might be interested in helping out. There's been a renewed interest in the 3rd amendment recently (it went from 200 to 10k hits overnight last week), and it's a rare case which might be fun to get to FA. Let me know if you're interested, but I completely understand if you're too busy though! Hopefully things will be more stable by the fall and you're keeping safe. — Wug·a·po·des​ 06:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

@Wugapodes: Hey, it's terrific to hear from you! I am actually traveling right now, which as you might imagine is a somewhat difficult task at the moment. Give me a week, though, and I'll look it over – it'd be really fun to work with you Kevin (alt of L235 · t · c) 15:53, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Totally understand. My lease is up in a month, so I'm dreading having to move all my stuff in the current environment. Feel free to help when you can, if anything a fresh pair of eyes would be useful for making sure it's on the right track. Safe travels! — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Wugapodes, if you're willing to have me along, I'd be interested in helping - I was actually just reading that article the other day while trying to explain Incorporation of the Bill of Rights to some friends. creffett (talk) 16:09, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

@Creffett: Of course! All help is appreciated. — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Request an indefinite block

For Kevin Funcle (talk · contribs). This is not merely edit warring over content, it's a racist/white supremicist agenda to remove sourced content they don't like. I'm happy to go to ANI with the request, but wanted to contact you first. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:41, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. They appear to use many accounts, per my request here, too [1]. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:02, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Community sanctions now authorize administrators to place under indefinite semiprotection any article on a beauty pageant, or biography of a person known as a beauty pageant contestant, which has been edited by a sockpuppet account or logged-out sockpuppet, to be logged at WP:GS/PAGEANT.

Technical news

• Sysops will once again be able to view the deleted history of JS/CSS pages; this was restricted to interface administrators when that group was introduced.
• Twinkle's block module now includes the ability to note the specific case when applying a discretionary sanctions block and/or template.
• Sysops will be able to use Special:CreateLocalAccount to create a local account for a global user that is prevented from auto-creation locally (such as by a filter or range block). Administrators that are not sure if such a creation is appropriate should contact a checkuser.

Arbitration

• The 2020 Arbitration Committee Elections process has begun. Eligible editors will be able to nominate themselves as candidates from November 8 through November 17. The voting period will run from November 23 through December 6.
• The Anti-harassment RfC has concluded with a summary of the feedback provided.

Miscellaneous

• A reminder that standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. (American Politics 2 Arbitration case).

Radical RFC close

Since when are we so prescriptive with the MOS, especially when there's such a clear contingent that want both ways to be available? This was a bad close, and Beland is just plowing ahead with these completely unnecessary changes. I know very few people care about this, but it's such BS for someone who does. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
