Emma Louisa Turner Style change

Hi again! Since you're a significant contributor to the page Emma Louisa Turner, I was wondering what you think about my proposal in the talk page to add links between the references and the cited works in the article via Harvp. Thanks for your consideration! Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 21:20, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Nevermind. (If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?) Thanks again for your patience. Cheers, Tyrone Madera (talk) 17:38, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how 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 at the talk page.

Notice

The article List of police stations in the West Midlands has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, just because we can make a list it doesn't mean we should. There is precedent for deleting articles like this - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of police stations in Jammu and Kashmir and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of police stations in Karachi (2nd nomination). As far as I can see only one is a listed building and that will likely already be captured in the local district list of listed buildings.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

July corner

On DYK today, two songs, a morning song that a cousin gave to me, about the many meanings of rising, and the other praying for the courage to take the necessary steps. The morning song is a GA, - I should write more given my initials, but I also want to care for articles of those who recently died (now Esther Béjarano), and of psalms in memory of Yoninah, - more missing than there. - Thank you for improving articles in July, - I come a few days earlier than normally because the bloom is fading already ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:49, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Did you know that Vivaldi composed cello sonatas? I didn't until I took the pic. Thank you for recording the cellist's voice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:39, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
