- An RfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
- Following a proposal, the edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.
- Wikimedia projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows the setting of a different default block length for IP editors. Neither is currently used. (T219126)
- Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 2 December 2018 UTC. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.

- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being

Arbitration case opened
In 2018, you offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has now accepted that request for arbitration, and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog/Evidence. Please add your evidence by March 23, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
All content, links, and diffs from the original ARC and the latest ARC are being read into the evidence for this case.

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

But we are settling back in Nova Scotia, and I am back and forth to Vancouver Island until at least the end of the year. As for Social Media, yes I check in on Facebook every now and then still, but that's about it. I have mainly migrated to the real dumpster fire of Twitter.

Request for copy of deleted article
Hi there!
I am hoping you might be able to provide me with a copy of the article on Michael A. Aquino. I have been working on a draft article on the subject that I hope will meet Wikipedia's standards, and if there is anything useful in the deleted article I hope I might be able to use it as a resource (not just citing the old article directly in the new one, to be clear!). I want to have a solid foundation of a draft article before I plead my case for undeletion :)
(FYI, just for context, I believe the article's original deletion was done at the request of the subject, Aquino, himself, likely due to unsourced or poorly-sourced claims which did not meet BLP requirements. Aquino has since died, and is no longer a "LP". I don't know how this affects things, necessarily, but seems to me worth mentioning)
Cheers, --De Insomniis (talk) 23:25, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- De Insomniis, having looked at the previously deleted version, I don't think there is anything in particularly that would be useful to salvage, basically everything is sourced to a page about him on xeper.org (which you alrady reference). I don't think there is much to be gained for you by recovering a deleted draft. I would just continue on the way you have been, as you are already lightyears ahead of what was previously deleted. --kelapstick(bainuu) 15:54, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, well, that's good to know I guess! Thank you for checking. I think there is still quite a bit of work to be done on my draft article but is encouraging to hear you say that! If you have the time, would you mind also checking out Michael Aquino and Michael Aquino (Lieutenant colonel)? I wouldn't be shocked to learn that they were in a similar state of affairs to the one you checked, but you never know! Thanks again. --De Insomniis (talk) 17:08, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
A peace offering
Hi kelapstick, I was User:Anuvarshanw when I first started editing. I lost control of that account and I lost the password to both that account and the email address linked to that account. I made this account in November 2020. I just want to apologize for my incivility back then, and wanted to give you this olive branch as a peace offering. I was 9 when I created User:Anuvarshanw, and I made terrible decisions on my place in Wikipedia, insisting I was a Teahouse Host/Maitre d when I wasn't, harassing other editors, etc.. I am 16 now, and recognize my place on Wikipedia. I hope we can reconcile our differences, and be civil. I won't use Anuvarshanw anymore, as I just recently regained control of it and I had already cemented my place here as Aknell4. Edit: Clarification of the timeline:
- 2014: Creation of User:Anuvarshanw
- 2017: Lost control of User:Anuvarshanw
- 2018: Creation of User:SkipTheCat to edit without IP
- mid-2020: Regain control of User:Anuvarshanw, although I wasn't going to use it as I had already cemented myself under User:SkipTheCat
- mid-2020: Lost control of User:SkipTheCat as I stopped using the email address associated with it and I forgot the password (again)
- November 2020: Creation of this account
- April 2021: Regain control of User:SkipTheCat, although I had long cemented myself under this account, so I'm sticking with this account.

Speedy deletion nomination of Long Wong's
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Long Wong's requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – S. Rich (talk) 21:10, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Can you please retrieve this article for me. I did not write it, or recall amending it, but have been involved in related studies on and off. The article certainly needed updating. The AfD discussion in December 2022 used opinions for ~2013 which are far outdated. I would reference solid source material from studies over recent years, but would like the original to start from. For any help -thanks a lot
