Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

I have had a desire to create a page summarizing all of the Green Bay Packers#Rivalries. I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on format. I am struggling between a typical list format (see Draft:Green Bay Packers rivalries) with a Lead, History section, Rivalry section (main table) and maybe a section on "Non-rivalry rivalries". But I fear that with only 8 items, I am in that grey area where I may get opposes based on the list being too short. My other thought was to write it as an article style, with a short blurb summarizing each rivalry and maybe just have the table in a summary section at the beginning. Then take it through GAN instead of FLC. What do you think? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Dear Hey man im josh, Hello and Thank you for reply on WP:PERM/NPP but I've decided to take long wikibreak of one week and I've going from Wikipedia temporary because I face few probelm in our personal life , so, I decided to removing my other permission except extended confirmed users ,so, I request to you please remove these permission from my account at this time because I'm not came until 28 March 2024 on Wikipedia.😊~~ αvírαm| (tαlk) 16:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I sent you a message regarding ambiguous song redirects in December: User_talk:Hey_man_im_josh/Archive_12#Creating_song_redirects. You said you would "slow down a bit" and try to consider other songs of the same name may be listed at disambiguation pages as I pointed out. In your latest round of song redirect creation, you have missed the numerous songs listed at: Dance with You (as you pointed the miscapitalisation Dance With You and Dance With You (song) to one specific album); In the Night (as you pointed the miscapitalisation In The Night and In The Night (song) to one specific album); Idle Hands (there are multiple songs listed in the hatnote of that article, so Idle Hands (song) is ambiguous); already another song listed at Residue (so Residue (song) should not point to just one album); and you also pointed Art (song) to just one album despite Art (disambiguation) listing at least one song at the time of you creating that redirect. Please consider this further. It would really help. Thanks. Ss 112 10:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I believe that Adil Raja's Wikipedia page should be reinstated. You asked for a few good reliable website sources. Here are many good, reliable sources. Please bring his page back so I can edit it. Btw, there is some more recent news on him. So I believe that he's eligible for a Wikipedia page. This is definitely more than the 3 required. Moreover, they are form different news agencies including some international news agencies. Lastly, there are different news about him. Not just one main event. Please consider reinstating the Wikipedia page. Do update me with your decision. Thank you so much!! :)

Josh, I'm unclear on whether you think there are some contexts in Wikipedia text in which it would not be contrary to guidelines to capitalize Draft (in the NFL context). The R from miscapitalization tag is a maintenance thing, useful to help us find such over-capitalization, and fix it; recall that the RfC was about "in article text and titles". It's not an assertion that it's an error to capitalize it in other styles, outside of WP articles. Your edit summary (this is not a miscapitalization/error, it's an alternative capitalization. NFL and all associated teams use a MoS that capitalizes "Draft") suggests you have a different interpretation. Dicklyon ( talk) 21:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
capitalisation differences that are not incorrect. Hey man im josh ( talk) 00:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
OK, I started a discussion in the direction you suggested, and listed it at WT:MOSCAPS, where capitalization-related discussions are usually linked, for the benefit of editors who care about such things. So why did you revert that listing, saying it's not an MOS discussion? Most of the other stuff listed there is also not about MOS, but is about capitalization issues. Dicklyon ( talk) 10:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
It leads to the title in accordance with the Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation, or it leads to a title that is associated in some way with the conventional capitalisation of this redirect title." – So, based on MoS, we would want to fix the capitalizations (in most cases) anyways.

Hi Josh, just had a quick question since you are a regular at FL and I've not yet broached that topic area. Does the format at Foliosum have potential to become featured if it is made complete? I know that FLs require a sort of gravitas that isn't always obvious to outsiders, and I'm just wondering if there's merit to this kind of article there if they were to be fully fleshed out. I could see myself trying to work on a series of them this year if that is the case. Thank you! Fritzmann ( message me) 01:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Josh. Stupid question. Can someone just add or remove a good article I_Look_to_You? I'll revert, if I'm wrong I'll put them back. Seems too easy for someone to do such a thing. Bringingthewood ( talk) 21:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I was hoping for some guidance/assistance on an issue I believe could be vandalism (and is at best COI), but is not blatant enough to report outright. This user, as well as IP User 178.246.119.196, have been adding "Mithras Yekanoglu", unsourced, as a key person/founder on the pages of many large corporations in the petroleum and mining industry (e.g., Vitol, Glencore). My first instinct was that it is vandalism, but one user (who appears to only edit the Vitol page) said in an edit summary that he is a founder. Since the Vitol website doesn't list him alongside the other two founders, I think said user might be mistaken, but with that in mind I don't want to just report this user as a vandal/ Wikipedia:NOTHERE. Notably, this user also made a hoax edit to Wikidata so that {{wd-ceo}} would display Yekanoglu instead of the real CEO, Gary Nagle. Your assistance here would be greatly appreciated!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
Hello Hey man im josh,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

Hello,
Shortly after your Procedural Keep determination to the set of sports broadcasting contract pages (housed at [ Sports Broadcasting Contracts in Serbia]), a number of the individual country pages were nonetheless deleted by another user. Specifically, as of this note, the following pages have been deleted:
Sports broadcasting contracts in Australia
Sports broadcasting contracts in Israel
Sports broadcasting contracts in Japan
Sports broadcasting contracts in Spain
As these deletions go against the Procedural Keep decision, can you please un-delete these pages, which is something I don't think I can do myself? Perhaps some semi-protection might be in order. Thank you. Coining ( talk) 15:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
...which is something that is not supposed to happen– I don't think a user reverting their own request to withdraw an AfD, before that AfD has been withdrawn, is a problem.
These articles help out of country viewers determine streaming options, and as such they serve a reference function worthy of encyclopedic value." – As a closer, I would not have given much weight to this argument because Wikipedia is not a TV guide and these articles, in these instances, are/were not necessarily encyclopedic. You're welcome to appeal with @ Explicit, the closer of 3 of those 4 discussions, but frankly, I don't see enough to reverse the closure of these in these instances. Participation was adequate, people weren't led to the wrong discussion from the articles, and the rational given at the deletion discussions were appropriate.

Hello! I am really sorry to disturb you, but I really just wanted to ask something, I hope that is okay! I am really interested in getting rollback rights so that I can use Huggle, that really interests me, and I would love to be able to use this to help me with my efforts on Wikipedia. I have put my name forward on the request for rollback rights, but it is quite a long backlog, and I was wondering if there was anything that you could do to help me. I am asking you as I saw you posted on that page a few days ago, and I was wondering if you were aware of how long the wait time might be?
I do apologise for this, but I love Wikipedia and I love helping out and having Huggle as a tool that I can use would be wonderful for me and I would love it if you could help me :)

Good day a page I recreated was recently deleted Codest Boi Under speedy deletion. I kindly request it be undeleted and moved to draft where we can improve it as time goes on because the subject meets the notability but most of the articles he had coverage in were deleted because in most cases African/Nigerian sources take down articles over 3 years so instead of it being a stub and deleted kindly give me sometime to make more research and add more to the draft before I submit for review again because I feel I failed after making research and still coming back short hope you consider this and hopefully grant this request.

Hi Brother help me once in creating a article after that I will follow your steps to add new information on Wikipedia data
It is a brigraphy article about an IPS officer Sarvesh Raj
Here is the details about him
He was selected as an IPS officer in the 2013 batch. He has served as an Assistant Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Ramanathapuram district and acted as a Superintendent of Police (SP) in Ambatur city. He is currently serving as an Undersecretary in Delhi. He has successfully resolved numerous sensitive issues in Ramanathapuram district. Therefore, I believe he is eligible to have a Wikipedia page.

Hello, Josh,
I'm running into trouble with a newer editor who keeps moving Malanggad, a 14 year old article, to Draft space because they aren't happy with its sourcing. I've told them to not draftify articles that are that old unless there are COI issues or it's part of a closure for an AFD but they claim DRAFTIFY is an essay not policy. I've returned the article to main space twice but I'm also on the verge of an edit warring, too, and I have never run into an editor who didn't respect the guidelines of DRAFTIFY before. I know you have reverted article moves to Draft space that weren't appropriate so have you run into this issue before? I won't revert again but I think this is definitely not an appropriate article for draftifying. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 21:50, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm an admin and Check User on it.wiki. User:14 novembre is well known on it.wiki (original user Calicanto2023) not only for block escape and sock abusing, but also for repeated trolling (just in the last two days we blocked quite a few interventions as anonymous IP where he declared explicitly both his identity and his will to insist creating socks, abusing service pages such as it.wiki administrators' noticeboard and user assistance pages). He was blocked indefinitely on it.wiki mainly because he was used to perform massive minimal or questionable edits, promoting drafts randomly and things like that. Despite not being a write-only user, he was totally disregarding any advice and indication to correct his way of operations. No way. His typical reaction was "Oh, sorry, I got it" and then going on as before. We had to spend a lot of time and energies in reverting his edits and correcting his mistakes. Apparently, he's now using this sock on en.wiki replicating exactly this same kind of behaviour. Since I noticed you interacted with him recently, I thought it could be useful to you having some background information more about this user (apparently becoming a cross-wiki problem). Regards.

Hello, @ Hey man im josh I'm a new user of Wikipedia and this was my first page ever. I was only making this page for a school assignment that needed to stay up for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I didn't understand all of the rules of Wiki and you have deleted my page. I thought clicking publish would save my draft because I had no other way to save it. I would like to ask that you restore an earlier version of my page so I can fix it. After today, you can delete it but I just need it to stay up for the remainder of the day so my teacher can see it.

I am struggling between a typical list format (see Draft:Green Bay Packers rivalries) with a Lead, History section, Rivalry section (main table) and maybe a section on "Non-rivalry rivalries". But I fear that with only 8 items, I am in that grey area where I may get opposes based on the list being too short. My other thought was to write it as an article style, with a short blurb summarizing each rivalry and maybe just have the table in a summary section at the beginning. Then take it through GAN instead of FLC. What do you think? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:25, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I sent you a message regarding ambiguous song redirects in December: User_talk:Hey_man_im_josh/Archive_12#Creating_song_redirects. You said you would "slow down a bit" and try to consider other songs of the same name may be listed at disambiguation pages as I pointed out. In your latest round of song redirect creation, you have missed the numerous songs listed at: Dance with You (as you pointed the miscapitalisation Dance With You and Dance With You (song) to one specific album); In the Night (as you pointed the miscapitalisation In The Night and In The Night (song) to one specific album); Idle Hands (there are multiple songs listed in the hatnote of that article, so Idle Hands (song) is ambiguous); already another song listed at Residue (so Residue (song) should not point to just one album); and you also pointed Art (song) to just one album despite Art (disambiguation) listing at least one song at the time of you creating that redirect. Please consider this further. It would really help. Thanks. Ss 112 10:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I believe that Adil Raja's Wikipedia page should be reinstated. You asked for a few good reliable website sources. Here are many good, reliable sources. Please bring his page back so I can edit it. Btw, there is some more recent news on him. So I believe that he's eligible for a Wikipedia page. This is definitely more than the 3 required. Moreover, they are form different news agencies including some international news agencies. Lastly, there are different news about him. Not just one main event. Please consider reinstating the Wikipedia page. Do update me with your decision. Thank you so much!! :)

Josh, I'm unclear on whether you think there are some contexts in Wikipedia text in which it would not be contrary to guidelines to capitalize Draft (in the NFL context). The R from miscapitalization tag is a maintenance thing, useful to help us find such over-capitalization, and fix it; recall that the RfC was about "in article text and titles". It's not an assertion that it's an error to capitalize it in other styles, outside of WP articles. Your edit summary (this is not a miscapitalization/error, it's an alternative capitalization. NFL and all associated teams use a MoS that capitalizes "Draft") suggests you have a different interpretation. Dicklyon ( talk) 21:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
capitalisation differences that are not incorrect. Hey man im josh ( talk) 00:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
OK, I started a discussion in the direction you suggested, and listed it at WT:MOSCAPS, where capitalization-related discussions are usually linked, for the benefit of editors who care about such things. So why did you revert that listing, saying it's not an MOS discussion? Most of the other stuff listed there is also not about MOS, but is about capitalization issues. Dicklyon ( talk) 10:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
It leads to the title in accordance with the Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation, or it leads to a title that is associated in some way with the conventional capitalisation of this redirect title." – So, based on MoS, we would want to fix the capitalizations (in most cases) anyways.

Hi Josh, just had a quick question since you are a regular at FL and I've not yet broached that topic area. Does the format at Foliosum have potential to become featured if it is made complete? I know that FLs require a sort of gravitas that isn't always obvious to outsiders, and I'm just wondering if there's merit to this kind of article there if they were to be fully fleshed out. I could see myself trying to work on a series of them this year if that is the case. Thank you! Fritzmann ( message me) 01:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I was hoping for some guidance/assistance on an issue I believe could be vandalism (and is at best COI), but is not blatant enough to report outright. This user, as well as IP User 178.246.119.196, have been adding "Mithras Yekanoglu", unsourced, as a key person/founder on the pages of many large corporations in the petroleum and mining industry (e.g., Vitol, Glencore). My first instinct was that it is vandalism, but one user (who appears to only edit the Vitol page) said in an edit summary that he is a founder. Since the Vitol website doesn't list him alongside the other two founders, I think said user might be mistaken, but with that in mind I don't want to just report this user as a vandal/ Wikipedia:NOTHERE. Notably, this user also made a hoax edit to Wikidata so that {{wd-ceo}} would display Yekanoglu instead of the real CEO, Gary Nagle. Your assistance here would be greatly appreciated!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
Hello Hey man im josh,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hello,
Shortly after your Procedural Keep determination to the set of sports broadcasting contract pages (housed at [ Sports Broadcasting Contracts in Serbia]), a number of the individual country pages were nonetheless deleted by another user. Specifically, as of this note, the following pages have been deleted:
Sports broadcasting contracts in Australia
Sports broadcasting contracts in Israel
Sports broadcasting contracts in Japan
Sports broadcasting contracts in Spain
As these deletions go against the Procedural Keep decision, can you please un-delete these pages, which is something I don't think I can do myself? Perhaps some semi-protection might be in order. Thank you. Coining ( talk) 15:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
...which is something that is not supposed to happen– I don't think a user reverting their own request to withdraw an AfD, before that AfD has been withdrawn, is a problem.
These articles help out of country viewers determine streaming options, and as such they serve a reference function worthy of encyclopedic value." – As a closer, I would not have given much weight to this argument because Wikipedia is not a TV guide and these articles, in these instances, are/were not necessarily encyclopedic. You're welcome to appeal with @ Explicit, the closer of 3 of those 4 discussions, but frankly, I don't see enough to reverse the closure of these in these instances. Participation was adequate, people weren't led to the wrong discussion from the articles, and the rational given at the deletion discussions were appropriate.

Hello! I am really sorry to disturb you, but I really just wanted to ask something, I hope that is okay! I am really interested in getting rollback rights so that I can use Huggle, that really interests me, and I would love to be able to use this to help me with my efforts on Wikipedia. I have put my name forward on the request for rollback rights, but it is quite a long backlog, and I was wondering if there was anything that you could do to help me. I am asking you as I saw you posted on that page a few days ago, and I was wondering if you were aware of how long the wait time might be?
I do apologise for this, but I love Wikipedia and I love helping out and having Huggle as a tool that I can use would be wonderful for me and I would love it if you could help me :)

Good day a page I recreated was recently deleted Codest Boi Under speedy deletion. I kindly request it be undeleted and moved to draft where we can improve it as time goes on because the subject meets the notability but most of the articles he had coverage in were deleted because in most cases African/Nigerian sources take down articles over 3 years so instead of it being a stub and deleted kindly give me sometime to make more research and add more to the draft before I submit for review again because I feel I failed after making research and still coming back short hope you consider this and hopefully grant this request.

Hi Brother help me once in creating a article after that I will follow your steps to add new information on Wikipedia data
It is a brigraphy article about an IPS officer Sarvesh Raj
Here is the details about him
He was selected as an IPS officer in the 2013 batch. He has served as an Assistant Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Ramanathapuram district and acted as a Superintendent of Police (SP) in Ambatur city. He is currently serving as an Undersecretary in Delhi. He has successfully resolved numerous sensitive issues in Ramanathapuram district. Therefore, I believe he is eligible to have a Wikipedia page.

Hello, Josh,
I'm running into trouble with a newer editor who keeps moving Malanggad, a 14 year old article, to Draft space because they aren't happy with its sourcing. I've told them to not draftify articles that are that old unless there are COI issues or it's part of a closure for an AFD but they claim DRAFTIFY is an essay not policy. I've returned the article to main space twice but I'm also on the verge of an edit warring, too, and I have never run into an editor who didn't respect the guidelines of DRAFTIFY before. I know you have reverted article moves to Draft space that weren't appropriate so have you run into this issue before? I won't revert again but I think this is definitely not an appropriate article for draftifying. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Liz Read! Talk! 21:50, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm an admin and Check User on it.wiki. User:14 novembre is well known on it.wiki (original user Calicanto2023) not only for block escape and sock abusing, but also for repeated trolling (just in the last two days we blocked quite a few interventions as anonymous IP where he declared explicitly both his identity and his will to insist creating socks, abusing service pages such as it.wiki administrators' noticeboard and user assistance pages). He was blocked indefinitely on it.wiki mainly because he was used to perform massive minimal or questionable edits, promoting drafts randomly and things like that. Despite not being a write-only user, he was totally disregarding any advice and indication to correct his way of operations. No way. His typical reaction was "Oh, sorry, I got it" and then going on as before. We had to spend a lot of time and energies in reverting his edits and correcting his mistakes. Apparently, he's now using this sock on en.wiki replicating exactly this same kind of behaviour. Since I noticed you interacted with him recently, I thought it could be useful to you having some background information more about this user (apparently becoming a cross-wiki problem). Regards.
