Thank you
Thanks for encouraging me to complete my first GA review :) SyntaxZombie (talk) 00:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, I'm glad to see it worked out in the end! Hope to see you again in the future (or maybe if you end up at the WP:DISCORD server) and certainly hope to see more GA reviews from you :D There should be a GAN drive some time later this year (probably in July; actually there will be another one at the end of the year). As someone who's always afraid of messing something up, I can recommend it, since other editors will double check your reviews to assign you points and hopefully award you with a barnstar like the one above. Though you don't have to wait if you wish to review something now. Also make sure to install User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/GANReviewTool, it trivializes the technical part of reviewing, so you don't need to manually edit all the pages to promote/fail a GAN. Have a great day! AstonishingTunesAdmirer 連絡 00:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – May 2024
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
Guideline and policy news
- 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.
Technical news
- 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
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- 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!
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is open until 9 May 2024. Read the voting page on Meta-Wiki and cast your vote here!
