Manually archiving talk page. Will look into getting more active again on administrative duties in the next few months. Will request desysop at WP:BN if i don't believe i'll be active in the next couple of months (Or if i am not, please see this as my tacit approval to remove the mop).

== I hope your inactivity is not permanent ==

AFC is in the consideration phase for planning a Backlog Drive, and your script and good work has underpinned prior drives. I am hoping that your script is able to work with AFCH and the current MW versions

The discussion about the drive is at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation#I propose a formal Backlog Drive|AFC Talk Page]]. I and the others would-be extremely grateful for your participation in the discussion [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span><sup><small>Timtrent</small></sup>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span><sup><small>Talk to me</small></sup>]] 12:11, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:*Wikimedia previously used the [[m:IRC|IRC]] network [[Freenode]]. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the [[m:IRC/Group_Contacts|Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts]] decided to move to the new [[Libera Chat]] network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a [[:m:IRC/Migrating_to_Libera_Chat|migration guide]] and Wikimedia [[m:Wikimedia Forum#Freenode (IRC)|discussions about this]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:*After a [[WP:ARCA|Clarification request]], the Arbitration Committee modified [[WP:APLRS|Remedy 5]] of the ''Antisemitism in Poland'' case. This means sourcing expectations are a [[WP:DS|discretionary sanction]] instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the [[WP:RSN|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]] to discuss disputed sources.

:*IP addresses of unregistered users are to [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|be hidden]] from everyone. There is a rough draft of how [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#Updates|IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them]]. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|at the talk page]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:*The community authorised [[WP:GS/COVID19|COVID-19 general sanctions]] have been superseded by the [[WP:COVIDDS|COVID-19 discretionary sanctions]] following a [[Special:Permalink/1028936864#Motion:_Discretionary_sanctions|motion]] at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==


[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]]. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->—&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89 bot|JJMC89 '''bot''']] 00:04, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
