Palestine-Israel articles 5 arbitration case opened
[edit]You offered a statement in an arbitration enforcement referral. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Evidence. Please add your evidence by 23:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC), which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Workshop.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).

Interface administrator changes
- 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 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.
- 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.
Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates
[edit]You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA
. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:
First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.
Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to add current pictures which I took myself about Kiunga Rural LLG.
How do I upload pictures (my own) of places in Kiunga Rural LLG? --PlayMaker 5.0 Remix (talk) 12:56, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I already made a draft about the battle of Aricia on another device and it’s getting reviewed how long will it take --Ali ahmed 234 (talk) 16:07, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Ali ahmed 234 Your draft Draft:Battle of Aricia does not cite a single source and will not be ready for main-space. Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Question from Beppo2814 on Patio (drink) (02:43, 12 January 2025)
[edit]Hello. I was editing an article on Patio soft drink. The article refers to Patio in the past tense and said it was a fountain drink at Bojangles restaurant and no longer available as of 2024, but I had some this morning (January 11, 2025) at a different restaurant called Wiener Works and I took a picture of the fountain dispensing the drink. Their website is no longer functional and their social media outlets have not been updated since 2024. I would like to add my picture but have no 3rd party official source to back up my claim other than the EXIF data on the picture. Because i have no 3rd party confirmed sources my edit was deleted but I'd like to share the information that Patio is actually still available. Thanks. --Beppo2814 (talk) 02:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Zalando and unions
[edit]
Hello, Shushugah. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Zalando and unions".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 08:41, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Margaret Sanger GA
[edit]Thanks for your initial comments on GA for Margaret Sanger at Talk:Margaret Sanger/GA2. I've implemented or otherwise replied to your suggestions there, and I'm ready for the next iteration. Thanks. Noleander (talk) 02:31, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Shushugah - Just pinging you again. Do you have a feel when you'll be able to devote more time to the GA review? GAs nominally take 7 days, and 6 days have gone by. I know you said this one may take a bit longer due to the size, but I was thinking 8 or 9 days total. If you are busy IRL, maybe we can make other arrangements? Noleander (talk) 15:16, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- @NoleanderI’ll finish source checks tomorrow. Looking forward to finishing the review :) ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 22:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! I don't mean to rush you ... I'm just looking forward to trying to get the article up to featured article status in the near future. Noleander (talk) 23:08, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Shushugah - Hi, it looks like you're busy IRL ... that is a good thing :-) But the GA process for Margaret Sanger hasn't had any input from you for 8 days, and the GA guideline at WP:GAN/I#N4 indicates we should find another reviewer. Do you have any objections to that? The process for that, I believe, is at WP:GAN/I#N4a which says: "Increment the |page= parameter (e.g. from "page=1" to "page=2"), and change the |status= parameter from "status=onreview" or "status=onhold" to the blank setting "status=". " Could you please do that? (Or, alternatively, post a request for a GA coordinator to do it at Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations). As the nominator, it would be inappropriate for me to do it. Again, I'm not trying to rush things, but my plan is to nominate the article for FA status after it has passed the GA review, and I have all the sources in my head now. When the GA review is stalled, the sources start to fade away :-) Thanks! Noleander (talk) 02:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Noleander Good afternoon. Given that you're asking for a new reviewer 8-days after I started my initial review ( 15:58, 16 January 2025) and now (15:34 24 January 2025), I am inclined to accept your request, because I do find this mode of communication stressful and (unintentionally) pushy. It is your prerogative to find another reviewer. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:35, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

The arbitration case Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article.
- AndreJustAndre, BilledMammal, Iskandar323, Levivich, Makeandtoss, Nableezy, Nishidani, and Selfstudier are indefinitely topic banned from the Palestine-Israel conflict, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
- Zero0000 is warned for their behavior in the Palestine-Israel topic area, which falls short of the conduct expected of an administrator.
- Should the Arbitration Committee receive a complaint at WP:ARCA about AndreJustAndre, within 12 months of the conclusion of this case, AndreJustAndre may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion.
- WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (discretionary) and WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (1,000 words) are both modified to add as a new second sentence to each:
Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
- Any AE report is limited to a max of two parties: the party being reported, and the filer. If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.
- The community is encouraged to run a Request for Comment aimed at better addressing or preventing POV forks, after appropriate workshopping.
- The Committee recognizes that working at AE can be a thankless and demanding task, especially in the busy PIA topic area. We thus extend our appreciation to the many administrators who have volunteered their time to help out at AE.
- Editors are reminded that outside actors have a vested interest in this topic area, and might engage in behaviors such as doxxing in an attempt to influence content and editors. The digital security resources page contains information that may help.
- Within this topic area, the balanced editing restriction is added as one of the sanctions that may be imposed by an individual administrator or rough consensus of admins at AE.

- If a sockpuppet investigations clerk or member of the CheckUser team feels that third-party input is not helpful at an investigation, they are encouraged to use their existing authority to ask users to stop posting to that investigation or to SPI as a whole. In addition to clerks and members of the CheckUser team, patrolling administrators may remove or collapse contributions that impede the efficient resolution of investigations without warning.

Question from Lividowly64 (13:22, 24 January 2025)

- @Lividowly64 welcome to Wikipedia. I am not an expert WP:VIDEOGAME reviewer. I think the article is written reasonably well, but I am concerned with the quality of sources. There is way too much reliance on WP:PRIMARY sources, and number of broken links e.g the steampowered.com links. Inside the external links section, one should be sufficient, see WP:External links. If this article is challenged, it would be because it fails WP:NVIDEOGAMES or WP:GNG. In the WikiProject WP:VIDEOGAMES there may be more familiar reviewers who can give advice.

~ christine aka Scriptor1900 --Scriptor1900 (talk) 23:07, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Scriptor1900 Welcome to Wikipedia. You can reference 1946 by using a wikilink syntax. When you mention "Talk note", I think you are referring to an Help:Edit summary. This cannot be edited afterwards, but if you are worried, you can make a dummy edit that clarifies the intention of your previous edit. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 13:33, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Reference desk/Computing if it's related to IT support though. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 23:35, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
Question from Digbick6999 (02:33, 31 January 2025)
[edit]How do I make a article on something? --Digbick6999 (talk) 02:33, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Digbick6999 Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:28, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]I joined Wikipedia by mistake how can I cancel my account. Peter454880 --Peter454880 (talk) 16:04, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Peter454880 there's typically no way to remove your account, simply stop editing. For preciseness, WP:VANISH exists, but unlikely to be granted here. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:27, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:18-page Yiddish booklet published by Jewish Peoples Fraternal order of the IWO, titled International Workers' Order featuring the writings of Morris Winchevsky who died in 1932.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:02, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from Doofenberg (19:33, 14 February 2025)
[edit]Hi, um I had a question. How does one ask someone to make a new article, because a artist named John Clark Matthews might be eligible for a article. Sorry for the not terribly important question. --Doofenberg (talk) 19:33, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Doofenberg we are all volunteers, so if you think there should be an article; then perhaps you will be the one most inclined to create it. Welcome!

Thank you today for the article, "about unionization efforts at Tesla in different countries and Tesla's relation to trade unions more broadly. A lot of attention is brought to Elon Musk's commentary, but this Wikipedia article authoritatively brings attention to older campaigns and countries in order to WP:GLOBALIZE coverage."! - Thank you for that also!
