Guideline and policy news

• 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.

Arbitration

• 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 the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
• Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.

Miscellaneous

• This issue marks three full years of the Admin newsletter. Thanks for reading!

Hi, I want your help in restoring award column (in infobox) in Shamsheer Vayalil article. I think I removed that column or may be not(because I'm not sure about it). Please help in restoring that. Thanks. (223.230.165.46 (talk) 17:39, 6 January 2020 (UTC))

Please see the article's talk page if you want to get involved. The statement above is not accurate. The awards were removed intentionally by someone else. The IP editor doesn't like it, and so is now dragging yet another editor into this time-wasting nonsense. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 03:29, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Masumrezarock100. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Bkissin (talk) 14:06, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@Bkissin: not sure why you are notifying me of its deletion. There is no way I would create an article in other user's sandbox. The user is indef blocked, feel free to mark it for deletion. Masum Reza^📞 14:12, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

LOL sorry Masmrezarock100. It's an automated notification function as part of the script that we use. It has happened to me multiple times. Sorry about the inconvenience. Bkissin (talk) 14:36, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks for keeping enwiki clean. :) Masum Reza^📞 14:44, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
