Administrators' newsletter – April 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2022).
- An RfC is open proposing a change to the minimum activity requirements for administrators.
- Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the
deletelogentry
anddeletedhistory
rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928) - When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)
- Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures § Opening of proceedings has been updated to reflect current practice following a motion.
- A arbitration case regarding Skepticism and coordinated editing has been closed.
- A arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been opened.
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines has closed, and the results were that 56.98% of voters supported the guidelines. The results of this vote mean the Wikimedia Foundation Board will now review the guidelines.
Rejection of article and resubmission
Hi, Previously you have rejected my draft on Akshita Mudgal. That was my first submission and I was not sure on all the changes I could make. I added some citations and references and resubmitted it. I am not sure if I resubmit an article it will go back to your bucket. Could you please review my article and help me if any improvements are needed in it WikiEditor0809 (talk) 09:45, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello HickoryOughtShirt, Will you please review my draft? WikiEditor0809 (talk) 03:59, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- WikiEditor0809, If you have resubmitted it, someone will get to it. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 14:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Tyler Brown
Hickory, I am concerned about offensive material appearing in the edit summaries in the history of Tyler Brown. Please see here, here, and here. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 12:20, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
W. A. Hewitt
Greetings Hickory! I hope you're doing well. Long time no see! I have not said much since I was working on W. A. Hewitt. Hope to see you more in the future. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 12:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
Hey, no problem taking so long to review it; I was feeling guilty for not checking in on it until today, so your timing was perfect! Changes addressed; hope it looks good now! Let me know if anything more is needed! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 00:08, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Martin Fehérváry
On 29 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Martin Fehérváry, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Martin Fehérváry (pictured) became the youngest foreign player to play in the Swedish Hockey League following his debut at the age of 16? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Martin Fehérváry. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Martin Fehérváry), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

In which my luck catches up with me
My sudden drop off the face of the earth: after years of good luck, I was involved in my first real motorcycle accident. In the grand scheme of things, I am fine. Helmets are a very good invention. The bike is just a bike and will be repaired in the next few weeks. In the immediate future, however, I should let you know that my on-Wiki time will be limited; among other things, my left arm is in a sling from awkwardly breaking my fall, and I am supposed to limit my screen time in case I'm concussed. I don't think I am, but not something I'd want to play with. I'd say the timing is inconvenient considering the Cup playoffs are about to start, but, well, it's not like my team is involved... The only win I'm taking is that Auston Matthews got to see Joel Embiid thrash the Raptors last night. — GhostRiver 16:21, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- GhostRiver, oh no! This is why I chose rollerblading over biking . Well, we will definitely miss you as the playoffs begin, still super impressed with your Connor McDavid improvements. Next is Malkin? Get well soon!HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:42, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- There's no parking in South Philly, so I thought the vroom vroom bike would be a good way to avoid that mess. I'm impressed I made it 4 1/2 years without an accident. And I might have to buck up a little before I let myself work on a Pen. Realistically next is Tyler Seguin, my favorite emotional support himbo (well, maybe second to Cody Bellinger. — GhostRiver 18:49, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- GhostRiver, That's fair, lol forgot about his team. Don't forget, only steers and queers in Texas. I think I'm bouncing between Oscar Klefbom, Chris Driedger, and Roope Hintz. It sucks that I now have the motivation to write when I am likely eliminated from the WP:CUP. Convinced someone in the Kraken discord to upload their pics to Flickr so I have some great pics to work with. Same with LA Kings. The Dallas Discord seems pretty dead tbh.
