Hello there. I somehow added an information that Wendy reprised her role as Poppy in Trolls Band Together. But then someone like, Paper9oll, had removed it because the link I added was not reliable even though it is true. I Googled it and there was a lot of information about it. Can you just tell Paper9oll to put it back where it belongs because the page is lacking information regarding the article? Thank you. (Also, here is the link you need to take a look at.) 182.255.41.201 ( talk) 20:55, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Helo, Lightoil,
Just a reminder, when closing and carrying out Requested Move discussions, remember to take the RM notice off of the article header since the discussion is over. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 07:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

This award is given in recognition to Lightoil for collecting at least 5 points during the January 2024 NPP backlog drive. Your contributions played a part in the 16,070 reviews completed during the drive. Thank you so much for taking part and contributing to help reduce the backlog!

Hi Lightoil. There is a discussion going on now at Talk:Hayes Barnard#Time magazine/GoodLeap which would benefit from more input, concerning what information is appropriate for a BLP, especially since the source does not support the presence of the statement that was added there. I thought you might want to participate in the discussion due to your previous interest in the Hayes Barnard article. Your involvement is appreciated. Thanks, JesseGoodLeap ( talk) 19:59, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
On 29 February 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Shinsadong Tiger, which you nominated and updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai ( talk) 13:02, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2024).
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:

Hello Lightoil,
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.

Hi Lightoil, I just now noticed that you closed the RM at National Football League Players Association as a non-admin closure. You did this after only 3 participants had a chance to take part in the discussion, and did so literally 6 hours after the bare minimum recommendation of 7 days being listed. At best, with two supports and two opposes (both of which were weak opposes), this should have been {{ RM relist}}. I kindly ask that you undo your premature close and relist. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Please review your close. I believe a consensus (not the original proposal) was reached. Srnec ( talk) 20:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Fine by me), Sovietblobfish (
I am happy for this to come to pass) and Walrasiad (
I would not object, if others find that preferable). The only participants left out are UmbrellaTheLeef (supported original request) and Therealscorp1an (opposed). But if you don't see a consensus, yes, please vacate. Thanks, Srnec ( talk) 00:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Lightoil. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.
Useful links:
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Hey man im josh ( talk) 12:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
