Administrators' newsletter – April 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2018).

Administrator changes

331dot • Cordless Larry • ClueBot NG

Gogo Dodo • Pb30 • Sebastiankessel • Seicer • SoLando

Guideline and policy news

Administrators who have been desysopped due to inactivity are now required to have performed at least one (logged) administrative action in the past 5 years in order to qualify for a resysop without going through a new RfA.
Editors who have been found to have engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block, for whatever reason, are now automatically considered banned by the community without the need to start a ban discussion.
The notability guideline for organizations and companies has been substantially rewritten following the closure of this request for comment. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable.
The six-month autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has been published. A request for comment is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently.

Technical news

There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.

Arbitration

The Arbitration Committee is considering a change to the discretionary sanctions procedures which would require an editor to appeal a sanction to the community at WP:AE or WP:AN prior to appealing directly to the Arbitration Committee at WP:ARCA.

Miscellaneous

A discussion has closed which concluded that administrators are not required to enable email, though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice.
The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the Interaction Timeline. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes.

Snooker season 2017/2018

Hi how are you ? Can you put a permanent lock on the above because as soon as the auto lifts on the 6th that user will change the colour again. Regards 92.251.156.230 (talk) 08:01, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

The only permanent lock that is put on articles would prevent all anonymous editors from adding to the page. At present the disruption isnt that great to warrant such a measure. If disruption continues then blocks are likely to be the next course of action. Amortias (T)(C) 20:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Revision deletion request

I removed some copyright infringing text from Kollam Orthodox Diocese and requested a revision deletion. You seem to have removed my request for revision deletion without doing the deletion, which leaves the historical versions of the article visible, including the copyvio. Surely this is against policy? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth You requested [1] be reveision deleted which is has been, if there are other revisions that require deleting these were not flagged in your request. Amortias (T)(C) 20:39, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

The request was for the revision deletion of the revision specified and all subsequent revisions to the present. I have repeated the request on the article page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

My name is Nenad Bogdanovic, http://www.vladimirbogdanovic.com/copyright-statement/

Vladimir Bogdanovic is my father and I am his manager.

I am also a designer and administrator of his website.

The content you delete is for public use. Also, not all the content is copied from his website.

Can you please tell me what I did wrong with it and how I can correct my mistakes, or undelete the article.

Best,

Nenad — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnessa (talk • contribs) 21:18, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Desideratum for Controlled Medical Vocabularies

Are you sure it's Public Domain? PubMed Central is not part of the standard "all content is public domain" of NIH, [2] doesn't list Methods of Information in Medicine as being a public-domain journal. I believe it is merely open-access. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:28, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Checking.... Amortias (T)(C) 21:33, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

@Power~enwiki: double checked and the copyright information isnt as clear as I would've liked but further digging makes it look like the standard is CC-BY-NC-ND, so have G12'd it. Amortias (T)(C) 21:45, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Not vandalism - confused

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&oldid=835473221

"Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting."

The green text says to report vandalism and spammers. While the initial creation of that article could have been covered by WP:AGF, ignoring all advice and just recreating it after deletion makes it spam IMHO. Am I missing something? Alexis Jazz (talk) 23:30, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Hookah

You protected Hookah, but 2 users who were reverting at least 3 users by providing superficial edit summaries like[3], "clear vandalism",[4] are clearly socks of each other.[5] @Ohnoitsjamie: had also reverted this misleading version.[6] Can you consider restoring the consensus version[7]? Or the version[8] that came before edit warring? Raymond3023 (talk) 03:03, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Checkuser results support my comment here.[9] I believe you should indef all three accounts and remove protection from the article. Sro23 will tag socks and sockmaster appropriately. Raymond3023 (talk) 16:02, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of Swissbeatbox

Hello,

I saw you deleted my page "swissbeatbox" for "unambiguous advertising." I am personally not associated with them, and am new to wikipedia, so I'm curious as to how I can write it better to keep it up.

Thank you!
