Invitation to join New pages patrol[edit]
Hello SeoR!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Ballyvaughan[edit]
I am surprised by your notability tag. The book mentioned is not published by the diocese. I have restored some pictures that were moved to another articles, as that editor confused civil parishes with medieval church parishes. The Banner talk 00:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello The Banner! I only tagged, did not take any stronger action, because I think it has potential, and it is one way of covering an important district of Ireland. I also tagged another such parish. As I have learned over the years, individual church parishes do not easily qualify for articles in their own right, and this article does not yet state why it is so notable. But I believe that this one could rise to the needed level, and as you say, the book in question is independent (albeit that publisher has done multiple church-related projects, as I recall). I think with a bit of expansion, a clear opening wording, and perhaps some cross-referencing as to types of parish, it should be fine. I do believe that within reason, more articles is the way to go.

- Ballynacally-Lissycasey (parish) was the other.
- My surprise is mainly caused by the fact that I have seen many geo-stubs with less info or pictures. I have to finish the series of geo-stubs and then can go beyond that. Soon I will upload the picture of another ruin and add it to Ballyvaughan (I missed another ruin that I would have found when I had turned around.) I am regaining my strength to do so now another user is blocked indef. Working on Catholic parishes is not so funny when you have someone breathing in your neck who has a clear anti-Catholic stance. The Banner talk 10:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely there are - but there is specific provision for geographic entities (some smaller ones have great articles, some are very marginal), but religious ones have only the GNG, so need to assert something. I know because I also once had ideas about parishes (in Dublin) and got some push back. But I have no issue myself, and am happy to pull the tag, and I am sure that you will take this forward well.
- As a fellow editor in the Irish space, I've seen you around over many years, and am glad you're still energetically beavering away. I did not know about someone with an anti-Catholic bias, but glad to hear that that has been sorted. SeoR (talk) 11:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 15,000 articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
