Guideline and policy news

Arbitration

  • Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
  • The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
  • Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

Checkuser request

Jbroer looks related to Will Bonela, a sockpuppet of w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anne Barrington. They added the same travel agency here as the previous sockpuppet did here. There are also some funny edits from IPs proclaiming innocence of Jbroer like here and here. I'm now 99% sure after finding the funny edits, but given that previous CUs have turned up multiple accounts, I suspect it's still worth checking. Thanks.

Daniel Quinlan, CU doesn't have anything useful to say here. Handle at your discretion. GeneralNotability (talk) 02:38, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Totally confused and in the dark by this. Can you illuminate me? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:23, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Deepfriedokra, it's, uh, quite a story involving legal threats and someone really not getting what Wikipedia is for or what constitutes "personal information", and probably best not discussed in much detail publicly. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:42, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
