[edit]

Hello, I'm FenrisAureus. I noticed that in this edit to Abdul Majid Rouzi, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — FenrisAureus ▼ (she/they) (talk) 17:13, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Question from PeterKrywczuk (13:58, 29 June 2023)

[edit]

How do I start a new page? I want to add the history of my church so people can learn more about it. Thanks --PeterKrywczuk (talk) 13:58, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@PeterKrywczuk, first, welcome to Wikipedia.
Help:Your first article is a good guide at writing an article as a complete beginner. As that page will tell you, writing an article is a difficult task, subject to an incomprehensible myriad of policies and guidelines (don't worry, there's no need to read all that). You should consider the possibility that the church simply cannot be written about due to being too difficult, or perhaps even through no fault of your own, such as the church lacking sufficient notability.
I wish you luck. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 04:00, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inherited Photo posting attempt, but blocked

[edit]

I inherited a photo from the family trust. The photo was owned by my family now by me. I am attempting to post on the Olberg, Arizona page. I was blocked by wikipedia from posting. What do I need to do to post this photo? TIA Sloan80 (talk) 14:02, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sloan80, you should upload this photo to Wikimedia Commons, the global file repository for Wikipedia and its sister projects. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 04:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:2024 Lexus GX Overtrail 008.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
