Hi

Hey, I hope you know that I really appreciate it when you take the time to proofread these TWW newsletters! :) I noticed that you haven't been doing this lately. Please don't feel like I'm pressuring you, I just want to know if you're still interested in helping out. Thanks! --つがる Talk to つがる:) 🍁 03:03, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi つがる, I'm really sorry about that, I've just been a lot busier lately. I'm afraid I don't think I have the time anymore to regularly proofread the TWW (for now at least). Sorry :( – Berrely • ^T∕_C 17:35, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi! No problem about that it is totally fine, I am quite busy IRL too! Thank you for all you have done, when you are free to do so again, please let me know. --つがる Talk to つがる:) 🍁 00:11, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

For your viewing pleasure

I present to you what might quite possibly be the funniest RfA haha — Python Drink (talk) 19:34, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

New users are often unaware of the standards to become an administrator... most aren't aware of the pain of RfA :) – Berrely • ^T∕_C 19:12, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Staxringold

Ahoerstemeier (deceased) • Ched

Interface administrator changes

Cyberpower678

CheckUser changes

GorillaWarfare

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
• Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
• Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.

Technical news

• The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.

Arbitration

• Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
• A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.
• The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.

Miscellaneous

• An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
• Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
• You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.
• An RfC is open to discuss whether to make Vector 2022 the default skin on desktop.
• Tech tip: You can do a fuzzy search of all deleted page titles at Special:Undelete.

Question from ParseEnt (02:09, 20 October 2022)

I'm new to Wiki updates as a filmmaker. I created a fanfare pilot to Steven Spielberg's film, Close Encounters of the third kind and it was mentioned in a newspaper in Bolivia. Can you help me ad a blurb to the legacy section of Close Encounters of the third kind...wiki tells me the way I'm writing it is Conflict of interest. Here is the Wiki Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_of_the_Third_Kind

Here is the article: https://www.paginasiete.bo/cultura/un-boliviano-trabaja-para-devolver-a-la-vida-a-un-clasico-de-hollywood-EG2585006?fbclid=IwAR3CYBKoIlIACbS0KvTQYa10HCcyC-kD5WwmDmex2DU7b_bD8AT_bpisY1k

If you have an interest in watching the Pilot, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhrvNTvU2pI&list=PLktUWgzuUm36HsqVu0Ddbs5l_ClUisASK&index=2

Question from No u stupid (14:57, 26 October 2022)

are edits monitored or corrected --No u stupid (talk) 14:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Blue Riband, talk page stalker, here No u stupid. Some editors have particular pages on watch and review any new edits. Edits that may be reverted would include any information that doesn't have a reliable source or are nonconstructive.

Are you sure you really want to use "No u stupid" as a user name? In may be construed as being disparaging toward editors who disagree with you. Blue Riband► 17:18, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
