Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
You have been trouted for: Reverting a good faith request on Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects YOUR REASON HERE Drdr150 (talk) 18:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
Technical news
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
Hey man
[edit]Can you check my attributions? pics have reference with resharing policies that allow reuse Consuls.feints (talk) 04:06, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for reaching out, But the images don't have a declaration that the copyright owner is releasing them under a free license (you also marked them with CC0, a public domain equivalent license) for everyone to use. A facebook post from a corporate account saying "reuse allowed" isn't enough. If you are not the copyright owner, then sending an email with proof of permission to VRT is requred. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to reach out. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 04:12, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi thanks for the reply. How about the news article with resharing policy on their website? 2001:44C8:4050:197A:C13A:5D25:7577:B5F7 (talk) 04:14, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Please edit while logged in to your account. Editing while logged out is not a good look, especially on the English Wikipedia (aka enwiki). All the Best -- Chuck Talk 04:18, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, please answer the previous question Consuls.feints (talk) 04:43, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Unless the policy explicitly says that it is released under a creative commons attribution share alike license (or less restrictive!) it cannot be used. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 05:03, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
