Aversion therapy

Having consulted your user page I believe your recent mass reversion of my work today (together with an "unconstructive" user talk page message) was a genuine gf error rather than any kind of pov-pushing. But kindly make sure what you're really doing before reverting substantial work that involves much careful rewriting/sourcing of a page that contained multiple unsubstantiated clinical claims. Thank you, 86.191.67.197 (talk) 16:43, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I was a little hasty on that one. If you're just fixing up the article that's OK. SemiHypercube 16:53, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
No, it's more than just "OK"! Why the consdescending tone? I was doing work that few wikipedians have the professional know-how to do. And I put a lot of care into it. Finding it reverted wholesale is not nice. My first thought was that this was probably the reaction of an unscrupulous pov-pusher (sigh...) who thinks that an ip editor could be a soft touch. Looking at your user page reassured me that this was just a gf error. But I do have to ask you: 1) Did you even look at what you were reverting (including multiple edit summaries citing WP guidelines/policies like WP:MEDRS)? 2) Do you really think it OK to accuse your gf colleague of being "unconstructive" without offering any sort of friendly apology? I don't think that's a good way to facilitate contributions to Wikipedia such as verification of clinically relevant claims. I've said what I have to say. I'll leave it at that. 86.191.67.197 (talk) 17:20, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Scuba diving

Thank you for reverting the vandalism at Scuba diving. One tip, though: before using rollback, have a quick look at the page history. In this case, two IPs were "team-vandalising" and rollback won't catch both of them. Sometimes something like Twinkle can do a better job by allowing you to quickly restore the last good version.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • XTools Admin Stats, a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: Steward Stats and Patroller Stats.

Arbitration

  • In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion amending the procedures for return of permissions (diff). In such cases, the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
  • Following a formal ratification process, the arbitration policy has been amended (diff). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication.

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
  • An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
  • An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news

  • The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
  • Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

WP:CEN is now open!

To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!

WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.

Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJLTalk 19:10, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2019).

Guideline and policy news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
  • The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist.

    Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.
