Hello, Minorax! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Dan arndt (talk) 04:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
@Dan arndt: Well the page is already in mainspace so this AfC is moot. Firstly, I admit that this draft is below par and will not be accepted even if Elmina plane crash doesn't exists. However, I disagree with your rejecting criteria as "report of a single event" and "Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#NEWS and Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People notable for only one event ". Most, if not all, articles about air crashes are based off a single event and sometimes, a notable person is amongst the unfortunate. This article is not about the person, Johari Harun, but rather about accident. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 05:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

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.

Hello there. Hope all is well. Could you please help me delete the former as it doesn't look good at all either under dark mode or white mode.

Hello, Minorax,

I came across this photo which, to my untrained eye, looks like it has been enhanced or even has been altered using software like Photoshop. But I don't know whether or not these tools disallow a photo from being used on the project. It's a photo of a painting and I just think some filters or editing software were used before it was uploaded. You work a lot with images so I thought you could tell me if you are seeing what I'm seeing and what Wikipedia's policy was. If the photo was enhanced before it was uploaded, I see no way we can alter it back to its original condition. Thanks for any help you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 18:23, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

I believe that in general, PD images can be edited and uploaded as long as there isn't any intent to use it for vandalism purposes. From what I see in the previous versions, this image has been edited prior to the image being captured. However, I believe that this can be edited to make it a little more natural, you just need to find someone who is skillful in image editing. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 11:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
