- No, you're not able to protect the page or block the user, as you're not an administrator. And even if you were, you're involved in the content dispute, so it wouldn't be appropriate to do so. Agree that with the IP user is doing doesn't make sense, as your content is cited and their content is not. That being said, I'm inclined to remove that sentence completely. The sentence before it - that they started broadcasting in AM stereo is encyclopedic, but how they're doing it (particularly the brand of tuner they've using) doesn't really strike me as worthwhile content. And particular not content worth getting into an edit war over.
- I'll remove the sentence for now, and let's see what happens. Mlaffs (talk) 02:00, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for following up. I appreciate your help, and your taking the time to explain a few things.
- Some background: The reason why I think the sentence is relevant is it describes the very unusual way they stream their audio by using a tuner to receive the station’s broadcast over the air, which is then sent to their streaming provider. This is all explained on their FAQ page. I’ve listened to them via streaming for the past few weeks, and they want the world to know how good wideband AM stereo can sound. In that regard, I think they’re very unusual. Their website has a big photo of the Carver tuner they’re using splashed across the front page.
- That being said, I agree with your decision to take out the sentence if for no other reason than to remove content that isn’t verifiable and which conflicts with information on the station’s website. I too am curious to see what happens when you remove the sentence. Thanks again. Pageographer (talk) 02:48, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
New administrator activity requirement
The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
- Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
- Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period
Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

About KJR-FM
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give KJR-FM a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into KJEB. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

- For the record, you were not the one that performed the cut-and-paste move — that was a Twinkle misfire. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:14, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, good - I was going to say that not only hadn't I been editing the last week or two, but I would NEVER do a cut-and-paste move. :>) Mlaffs (talk) 00:35, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

- A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
Arbitration
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
