Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
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!

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time[edit]
Hello FormalDude:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Page review[edit]
I absolutely do not expect you to feel obligated in any way to review this page, as I understand the logs are heavily backed up and you are likely very busy. But on the off chance you have a moment to spare, the page Brad Heckman has been ready for reviewing for a bit. I will typically wait about 4 months for a page review before wondering if there’s anything I could do to bring it to someone’s attention — however another article that I authored and moved to the mainspace about 3 days ago got reviewed within 4 hours of being published haha. I am admittedly a bit confused about the process and just don’t want this article to get lost in the mix. If you could even give some feedback on how exactly to request a review, it would be much appreciated! :) thank you for all you do. 4theloveofallthings (talk) 16:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @4theloveofallthings. I looked over the article and it does appear to be one of the more difficult kind of articles to review, so you may be waiting a while (current backlog is at five months). Unfortunately there's nowhere really to request a review... a review is requested simply by the fact that it is currently unreviewed, so it just has to wait out the queue. Nothing much else you can do besides asking someone like me (curious how you found me BTW). I haven't had a ton of time to edit recently, but I can try to review this for you. One problem I'm having is I cannot access this WSJ article. Would you be able to email me a copy or something? ––FormalDude (talk) 06:03, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. I found you because you reviewed the John Lauro article that I authored. Here is the WSJ article via Jumpshare :) 4theloveofallthings (talk) 10:38, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- @9t5: After a review of the article's references, I unfortunately do not see any sources that meet the notability criteria. The majority of sources are not independent of the subject, and some do not contain significant coverage. Several parts of the article read in a promotional tone.
- I am inclined to nominate the article for deletion, but I'd like to give you a chance to respond first. From what I'm seeing, I don't think this issue can be remedied without the addition of new sources that meet notability criteria. I couldn't find any in a cursory search, but maybe you will have better luck. ––FormalDude (talk) 06:37, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- @FormalDude Hmm okay, and I absolutely respect your opinion. Would it be possible to give me a little bit of time to try and gather some more sources and see what I can do to strengthen it before nominating it? 9t5 (talk) 10:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- @FormalDude And sorry about the username switch so suddenly haha. My original one was terrible I finally couldn’t stand to look at it any longer. 9t5 (talk) 10:15, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- As I research the subject and try to find some new sources, I have initiated an RfC discussion on the talk page of the article, asking other editors for their opinions on the notability of the subject. I just wanted to inform you of this in case you saw it and thought it was in some way undermining your review of the article. I am just trying to be as productive with my time as possible and allow others to give their feedback in the meantime, hopefully without the immediate need for a nomination. Thank you! 9t5 (talk) 12:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

A New Category:[edit]
I see that you have created a new category:Wikipedians who have been selected as Editor of the Week. A great idea but I noticed that many recipients (over half) are not listed. Over the years, there have been about 530 editors that have received the Award. What I noticed was that some editors, like DanCherek (for instance) have 2 or 3 pages listed. Same with Luk3 and many others. There should be only one for each recipient. So the 257 editors listed is way under the actual number of editors that should be included in the category. I'm not sure how you load the category. I love the idea but we need to fix it. Let's chat! Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 13:32, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Buster7, thanks for reaching out. If I remember correctly, the category is loaded with pages that contain this userbox. I see the issue, but I'm no expert in categories and I'd appreciate any help fixing it! Also, I apologize for my delayed responses, I haven't had a lot of time to edit lately. If I don't get back to you in a timely manner, you are more than welcome to take action into your own hands. ––FormalDude (talk) 05:52, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Great! I think I see a solution. Tks for the idea. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 12:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
