Administrators' newsletter – April 2020[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • There is an ongoing request for comment to streamline the source deprecation and blacklisting process.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold a Arbcom RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. A draft RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC (Draft) and not open to comments from the community yet. Interested editors can comment on the RfC itself on its talk page.

Miscellaneous

  • The WMF has begun a pilot report of the pages most visited through various social media platforms to help with anti-vandalism and anti-disinformation efforts. The report is updated daily and will be available through the end of May.

Indira Gandhi[edit]

Hello mate,

Hope you are doing fine. I nominated an article for copy edit as I am aiming to take it to GA but have not received any response. Can you please help me the way you did with Uttar Pradesh. With your help I was able to make that article to GA level. Let me know what you think. Much thanks. --25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 17:29, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, Uttar Pradesh; I bailed on that article in 2012 (it's in the talk archive) because of the edit warriors . Please see the notice at the top of this page; I don't copyedit on demand. You placed Indira Gandhi on WP:GOCE/REQ only a few days ago; it's in the queue, and I (or another copyeditor) will get to it. Be well and all the best, Miniapolis 19:22, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Desktop improvements prototype[edit]

Hello, Miniapolis!

Thanks for taking the time to participate in the user feedback round for our desktop improvements prototype. This feedback is super valuable to us and is currently being used to determine our next steps. We have published a report gathering the main takeaways from the feedback and highlighting the changes we’ll make based on this feedback. Please take a look and give us your thoughts on the talk page of the report. To learn more about the project overall and the other features we’re planning on building in the future, check out the main project page.

What am I supposed to do when someone notifies me to a discussion?[edit]

User:El cid, el campeador notified me (and also you, I think) to a discussion he (or she, for that matter) started here. What is the proper thing to do when notified of a discussion? Do I participate? Ignore it? I need help here... 19:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Total Eclipse 2017 (talk • contribs)

Don't worry; it's not like being hauled to a noticeboard or something. Bibliomaniac15 (formerly active in the GOCE) and Lambiam basically echoed what we said on the project page, and I just thanked them for weighing in. Hang around on WP and you'll never be bored . Stay well and all the best, Miniapolis 20:33, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Wikipedia is many things, but it’s sure as heck not boring. Thanks for informing me. I hope you stay safe as well, Total Eclipse 2017 (talk) 20:50, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

umm[edit]

Hi there! I forgot what rollover meant. Can you explain it to me? I cant find any wki articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by MRC2RULES (talk • contribs) 09:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your interest, but the drive doesn't start until 1 May; I've adjusted your section on the drive page. Rollover words are "leftover" words from the previous drive; you don't have any, because you didn't participate in the March drive. All the best, Miniapolis 13:52, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me pls?[edit]

Hi there! I have tried and just can't make a custom userbox. I used a maker online but it isn't good enough. Can you make me one that reads "This user is a student at Bangladesh International School, Dammam with the school image. Not logo. Please if you are ok with it help me. Thkss Rahbab Chowdhury (talk) 20:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I made one userbox many years ago and don't remember how I did it. Try Wikipedia:WikiProject Userboxes. Miniapolis 20:53, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
