Sorry about yesterday, I posted to ANI, fell asleep watching BBCs Match of the Day and forgot all about my post. I hope that guy stops doing live updates. Thanks again. Regards. Govvy (talk) 11:48, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Keep tabs if you would please. It's a bit hard to track. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:43, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Due to the result of a recent RFC, the administrator recall process is amended to extend the deadline for a re-request for adminship to 30 days or the next administrator election, whichever is later.
• Changes to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy's disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal).

please read the section on his page: 2025–26 KNVB Cup. In my opinion, the user clearly perceives this project inadequately and is spreading misinformation through his actions. Jphwra (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hammersoft. Do you think File:San Diego Youth Symphony Logo 2024.png is too simple to need to be treated as non-free content? If it is, then the I can, in principle, go back an self-reverting my hiding of the file in Draft:San Diego Youth Symphony. However, I'm not sure that draft (at least in its current state) has a reasonable chance of getting accepted via AfC; so, even as PD the file could end up being orphaned if the draft gets deleted per WP:G13 or some other reason. How do you suggest dealing with a potential orphaned file like this? Is it better to wait until it's clear that the file is going to be used in some way, or is it better to just go ahead and relicense the file? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:05, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
