Guideline and policy news

• The RfC on administrator activity requirements failed to reach consensus for any proposal.
• Following discussions at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and Wikipedia talk:Administrators, an earlier change to the restoration of adminship policy was reverted. If requested, bureaucrats will not restore administrator permissions removed due to inactivity if there have been five years without a logged administrator action; this "five year rule" does not apply to permissions removed voluntarily.

Technical news

• A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
  • paid-en-wpwikipedia.org has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
  • checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2019 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: Base, Einsbor, Jon Kolbert, Schniggendiller, and Wim b.

Hello

I am the social media manager for the Fianna Fáil party. We would like to make some minor edits to our page.

For instance, new logos and images as well as our 'about' section needs to be updated. I am new to Wikipedia, so apologies if I have not done this correctly. Dave Fallon Fianna Fáil (talk) 12:30, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed your post, and posted information about this on your user talk page. Thanks for inquiring; feel free to ask if you have additional questions; you can ask us directly or you may post to the Teahouse, an area for inexperienced Wikipedia users to ask questions. 331dot (talk) 12:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Guild of Copy Editors March 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in January's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48 requests for copyedit in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Blitz: Thanks to everyone who participated in the February Blitz. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles. March Drive: The month-long March drive is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Sign up here! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Miniapolis, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Reidgreg and Tdslk. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

My edit to Amaral is correct. Please search “Nestor Amaral” under Google. His name and photo appear numerous times, as does his music under YouTube. He was in several films and nightclub shows, and worked with the famous Carmen Miranda. There are numerous photos of him with Ms. Miranda. LeslieRstevens (talk) 04:04, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Nestor Amaral meets the guidelines for a famous person. He can be located by name on numerous google search pages, YouTube, and images. I am trying to find that tilde sign on my keyboard so i can sign this. LeslieRstevens (talk) 04:10, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@LeslieRstevens: Surname list pages such as Amaral are navigation aids to Wikipedia articles. See Write the article first. Nestor Amaral may be notable, but unless and until a Wikipedia biographical article exists concerning him, he should not be added to the Amaral page. General Ization ^Talk 12:17, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello General Ization. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hayley LeBlanc, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: according to easily accessible RS (via GNews), she has received quite a deal of coverage, so please take it to WP:AFD instead. Thank you. SoWhy 06:50, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I’m a new Wikipedia user and still getting the hang of citing sources. However I noticed that my edit was changed back to the old version before I could cite my source. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wnm4q8RTEII In this video he states that his dogs are named Brady and Wilson, one after Tom Brady, and the other Wilson, the name having nothing to do with Russell Wilson.

Acesliz (talk) 13:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC) 28 Mar 2019[reply]

@Acesliz: When editing biographical articles, and especially if removing cited content, you should include sources for your edits at the time you make the edits. If you fail to do so, you run the risk of the new or replacement content being reverted as unsourced and thus unverifiable. If you cite this video, cite it using the URL that indicates the specific time where this issue is addressed (starting at 3:02). No one should need to watch the entire video to confirm what Kane said about his dogs. General Ization ^Talk 13:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was under the impression that the source was already cited, and I just changed the grammar issues and "shot multiple times" to "shot six times" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 11ALEXANDER11 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The cited source does not state how many times he was shot, nor how long after the shooting he was declared dead. Therefore your edit was unsourced and was reverted. General Ization ^Talk 01:00, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, I was not under the impression of the strictness of citing sources on Wikipedia, I am new to editing. Apologies. - 11ALEXANDER11 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 11ALEXANDER11 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Process: An editor adds well researched information to an article. One person - who is a serial content-reverter has ultimate say over the content in the article? This is not the way Wikipedia is supposed to work. You are not warning the right person. If the content is not appropriate or incorrect it can be corrected or removed. This user reverted the material twice - I reverted the person twice, and then you stepped in to revert the content, ultimately siding with the serial content-reverter. IMO I think you need to warn the other user more than you need to warn the researching editor. Gristleking (talk) 02:21, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gristleking: You seem to have misunderstood the procedure here (even though John from Idegon has explained it to you on both your and his Talk page). Once your content has been reverted and you have begun a discussion on the Talk page, you wait for other editors to respond. You may not repeat the insertion of the challenged material until consensus has been achieved through discussion to either insert it, or to not do so. Please note that other editors are not required to respond instantly (and rarely will). I have not "sided" with anyone. I have warned you that if you revert again, you will have violated the three-revert rule, and that you are not following the policy here. By the way, the other editor has performed more than 88,000 edits on Wikipedia over 7 years. You have performed 47 edits in the 2 days since you became a Wikipedia editor. You might consider this as you evaluate whether they, or you, are more familiar with Wikipedia's policies and procedures. General Ization ^Talk 02:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Currently an ANI discussion about him. My 47 edits are constructive and welcome additions to Wikipedia. You can check them out. So far I see this user's edits as not constructive. I will abide by your power as an admin because I have to. Gristleking (talk) 02:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are advised to stop posting on other editors' Talk pages describing the other editor as a "serial reverter", which can easily be construed as a personal attack, and to focus on your own edits and actions. We edit collaboratively here, following certain rules and procedures, or not at all. If you continue, you will most likely find yourself in the latter group. General Ization ^Talk 02:36, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your multiple warnings and defense of the offender. I have received the message that I have far less value than the other user. You can go support this other editor in the ANI. In spite of my tone I do think you are a very professional administrator, I just think you are supporting the wrong user. Regarding the term serial-reverter I have learned, "where there is smoke there is fire." I do hope I am free to think what I like and to post what I wish on other talk pages. Have a great night. Gristleking (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are free to think what you like. As I just finished explaining, you are not free to post personal attacks concerning other editors on any Talk page. But of course, you have learned it all in your two days on the site. Good luck. General Ization ^Talk 02:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you might actually read the discussion at ANI, in which the editor who posted the report is basically being told the exact same things I have just told you. General Ization ^Talk 02:52, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
