News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2022).
We are currently running a study to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative algorithms for providing personalized task recommendations through SuggestBot. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet. The study is scheduled to end on Monday, January 9, 2023. Please note this is a bit later than the initial estimate specified in the consent information sheet.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 12:06, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to respond at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Offensive comments by Paul Siebert.
Perhaps you aren’t aware of the historical context. In the 19th century Russian authorities controlled most of Ukraine and banned the Ukrainian language in churches, publishing, and public performance, and literally denied existence of Ukrainian nationality. * Today a dictator who claims succession from them uses similar claims, denying and denigrating Ukrainians to justify a violent war, * rhetoric that legal experts say is incitement to genocide. * That’s why I call out false statements denigrating Ukrainian nationality, or that of other colonized peoples, a kind of speech that is committed too often and should not be normalized in Wikipedia discussions.
Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to call out the worst part of their statement, “Clearly, no Ukrainian (as well as Russian) nation existed in XIX century,” but instead ought to have pointed out that it is equating the victim and perpetrator of a crime against humanity, something like equating the legacy of US slavery to All Lives Matter in a single sentence.
Or maybe you have different views or priorities on my dispute in Wikipedia talk. Fine. I just thought you should be aware of the context, because your response didn’t demonstrate appreciation of implications that I think are important for a public forum on the subject. — Michael Z. 19:20, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
Added a different picture with a detailed description. I hope you think this one is better. ★Trekker ( talk) 15:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you were a Good article reviewer on at least one article that is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 or you signed up for messages. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of Good articles for copyright and other problems, unless a reviewer opens an independent Good article reassessment and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information. A list of the GA reviewers can be found here. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page.

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Holocaust in Poland and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

I hope we can work constructively, and I'd like to invite you to look into this: Talk:Rescue_of_Jews_by_Poles_during_the_Holocaust#Białka_massacre. I am frankly confused about a reliability of sourcing and scholars here. There's a work by Edward Kopówka that I can't decide if it is reliable or not, it looks at first glance like coming from the right-nationalist group (it has a Bible quote in the first page, the other co-author is a priest) and has a claim that is criticized by Grabowski but then I notice it has a preface by Polonsky, a scholar that G. endorses. That very claim in that work is also criticized by Dariusz Libionka, a scholar that our article notes is associated with IPN. Seems like a "fun" mess to untangle, could you offer your thoughts? Maybe I am misunderstanding something here due to badly needing to eat breakfast... PS. I linked both works here, they are in Polish but Google Translate can handle pdf's these days I think. If necessary I can provide quotations and translations of relevant excerpts from both works. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:01, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you today for Nigel (Bishop of Ely), introduced (in 2009): "Nigel was yet another of those very interesting but very unknown bishops from England. He was Lord Treasurer, and arrested, rebelled, exiled, fought with his monks, had interesting relatives and had a son who was Treasurer also." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

[p]roposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing. Feedback is being accepted until 24 April 2023.
Howdy,
I don't have a preference for either version (FitzNeal vs. fitzNeal) I just noticed that the F is capitalized in Richard FitzNeal's own article and also here: William of Ely.
Wouldn'T it make more sense to make those articles consistent? Two versions in three articles is kinda meh imo. 165.1.194.41 ( talk) 16:29, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.
