News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2019).
Can you please be more careful when draftifying? There was an ongoing AFD ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dylan Sibanda) when you draftified Dylan Sibanda, and it had been un-drafitified before. Iffy★ Chat -- 21:53, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Ammarpad. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Tayo Ayinde, and have marked it as unpatrolled. It's a copyright violation. You should be checking that first, especially on articles as suspicious as that. Thanks.

Hello Path slopu,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Hey Path Slopu,
I really appreciate you helping me properly create my first article. I have adjusted the article and would like to submit it for review, hopefully this time there is more reputable information. I also did inline citing where I could, some of that is hard like where she grew up and things like that, a large portion of that all came from one source. Anyways, I clicked the button to submit it for review but it didn't seem to work and comes up with a small edit box in the corner and says something about editing the template. I don't think I want to hit publish at the top because I want to submit it for review first and make sure it meets the standards for being published. For the Edith Covensky article, the Israeli/American poet. Thanks a lot! Manser.ryan
Manser.ryan ( talk) 22:35, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
any reason why you marked my well-referenced page as having no citations and as a stub, then templated me? Trying to assume good faith, but I honestly can't think why you'd do that not for trolling unless you hadn't actually looked at the page. Kingsif ( talk) 12:43, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Path Slopu,
This is about the article on Smitha_Antony that I submitted for review. This article is at /info/en/?search=Draft:Smitha_Antony There are external references (prominent news paper articles) to the facts that I have submitted.
One of the external reference links is sourced from the Malayala Manorama Newspaper which has a circulation base of 2.1 million (
/info/en/?search=Malayala_Manorama).
Another news paper source is the Hindu (
/info/en/?search=The_Hindu) which has a circulation base of 1.3 million.
A third news paper source is the Indian Express (
http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2019/jul/11/strings-sing-in-her-hands-2002199.html).
A fourth news paper source is from an Australian online publication but it is in the language Malayalam. The link is at
http://www.metrom.com.au/articles/smitaa-aanrrnnikk-baalbhaask-purskaarn/
I also have in my possession, a newspaper clipping (print edition) from one of the newspapers and photos from the award ceremony of the award that I mentioned as one of the subjects' achievements.
I went through the reliable sources guidelines and notability guidelines for publishing articles about individuals and I am thinking of what other evidences can I furnish to ensure that the article meets the criteria for publishing. I humbly request you to reconsider and advise me on what more I could do to improve on the article.

Thanks for the Barnstar. It looks like you moved Satans Black Wedding (2019) to draft space after it was nominated for AfD. While draftify is an outcome that can happen at AfD, please don't move pages up for discussion at AfD out of mainspace - it can confuse the discussion. Best, Barkeep49 ( talk) 17:11, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure why you reverted all the changes made to the WSH page. I have restored them and removed the offending link to indiegogo. I am not not sure why you don't like a link to an indiegogo campaign page, it seems just as valuable as any blog post or social media item, but no matter.
The page is more accurate with my changes and decidedly not up to date without them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.232.123 ( talk) 19:45, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

This was an improper warning. If you had bothered to read the ongoing AFD (now closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dardanus (Raymond Leppard recording)) on this page, Niggle1892 was removing content that was considered to be a copyvio. Please apologize to him on his talk page. 4meter4 ( talk) 13:42, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Hallo. I've just read your three messages on my Talk page. To cut a long story as short as possible, I recently created some fifty articles about recordings featuring the opera singer Frederica von Stade. A user called Softlavender nominated all but two of them for deletion. Monitoring the discussions about what should happen to them, I noticed that a user called Smerus had said that they should be deleted on the grounds that the paraphrased reviews which I had included in their "Critical reception" sections constituted violation of copyright. I removed these paraphrased reviews in order to try to save the articles from being deleted altogether. I was trying to preserve the articles, not to vandalize them. My intention was then to replace the paraphrased reviews that I had removed with rewritten versions that Smerus would accept. (So far I have had the time to do this with only one article, The Three-Cornered Hat (André Previn recording).) I hope that I have explained all this clearly. If you have any questions, please leave a message on my Talk page. Niggle1892 ( talk) 17:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Path Slopu,
This is regarding the article that I submitted about Dr. Gurpreet Singh Wander. You have left a message then that the article was not neutral and there were no reliable sources to support the information shared about him. I have gone through couple of articles on Wikipedia and have edited the article with sufficient reliable sources. Kindly check and help me to get this article published. Please suggest if the article needs to be further edited as I am fairly new and this is my first submission. I have deleted all the irrelevant information and added facts about him. Looking forward for your response. Here is the url of the draft for your reference : /info/en/?search=Draft:Dr._Gurpreet_Singh_Wander#References Envisage Insights ( talk) 13:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there,
I and Scott Burley have just declined a number of your page protection requests.
You were obviously right as to there being various issues on the pages and to revert (or adapt, in a few cases). However, RFPP requests aren't really needed if there's only a single editor/IP causing problems, even if they do so repeatedly - it's easier to warn them and then send them to AIV/ ANI, rather than cause the collateral damage of a page protect. Hope that helps, let me know if you've got any questions Nosebagbear ( talk) 17:32, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, Path slopu, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created Sreedevi Kakkad and hope there will be many more biographies of women from Kerala.

Hello, Path slopu. 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 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! Barkeep49 ( talk) 20:28, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Dear Path slopu,
Thank you for undoing edits made to the wikipedia entry of 'Jan Deckers' by Solsticesummer earlier today. I am not a regular Wikipedia user, and may have wrongly removed some tags (inserted on the page in August 2016). However, the edits make sense as all statements have been verified by reference to external sources. Please either delete the Wikipedia page for 'Jan Deckers' or reinstate the edits made by Solsticesummer.
Much appreciated, Solsticesummer 26/10/19 Solsticesummer ( talk) 18:33, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our Champion this year is Adam Cuerden ( submissions), who over the course of the competition has amassed 91 featured pictures, including 32 in the final round. Our finalists this year were:
All those who reached the final will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field. Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
We have opened a scoring discussion on whether the rules and scoring need adjustment. Please have your say. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2020 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hello! Wishing you a Happy Halloween on the behalf of WikiProject Holidays and WikiProject Horror.
Trick or Treat! Happy Halloween Path slopu! I hope you have a great day and remember to be safe if you go trick-or-treating tonight with friends, family or loved ones. Happy Halloween!
Halloween is a celebration observed in several countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, as well as watching horror films.

Hello Path slopu,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 808 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the
NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some
really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Can you please be more careful when draftifying? There was an ongoing AFD ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dylan Sibanda) when you draftified Dylan Sibanda, and it had been un-drafitified before. Iffy★ Chat -- 21:53, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Ammarpad. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Tayo Ayinde, and have marked it as unpatrolled. It's a copyright violation. You should be checking that first, especially on articles as suspicious as that. Thanks.

Hello Path slopu,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.
Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Hey Path Slopu,
I really appreciate you helping me properly create my first article. I have adjusted the article and would like to submit it for review, hopefully this time there is more reputable information. I also did inline citing where I could, some of that is hard like where she grew up and things like that, a large portion of that all came from one source. Anyways, I clicked the button to submit it for review but it didn't seem to work and comes up with a small edit box in the corner and says something about editing the template. I don't think I want to hit publish at the top because I want to submit it for review first and make sure it meets the standards for being published. For the Edith Covensky article, the Israeli/American poet. Thanks a lot! Manser.ryan
Manser.ryan ( talk) 22:35, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
any reason why you marked my well-referenced page as having no citations and as a stub, then templated me? Trying to assume good faith, but I honestly can't think why you'd do that not for trolling unless you hadn't actually looked at the page. Kingsif ( talk) 12:43, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Path Slopu,
This is about the article on Smitha_Antony that I submitted for review. This article is at /info/en/?search=Draft:Smitha_Antony There are external references (prominent news paper articles) to the facts that I have submitted.
One of the external reference links is sourced from the Malayala Manorama Newspaper which has a circulation base of 2.1 million (
/info/en/?search=Malayala_Manorama).
Another news paper source is the Hindu (
/info/en/?search=The_Hindu) which has a circulation base of 1.3 million.
A third news paper source is the Indian Express (
http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2019/jul/11/strings-sing-in-her-hands-2002199.html).
A fourth news paper source is from an Australian online publication but it is in the language Malayalam. The link is at
http://www.metrom.com.au/articles/smitaa-aanrrnnikk-baalbhaask-purskaarn/
I also have in my possession, a newspaper clipping (print edition) from one of the newspapers and photos from the award ceremony of the award that I mentioned as one of the subjects' achievements.
I went through the reliable sources guidelines and notability guidelines for publishing articles about individuals and I am thinking of what other evidences can I furnish to ensure that the article meets the criteria for publishing. I humbly request you to reconsider and advise me on what more I could do to improve on the article.

Thanks for the Barnstar. It looks like you moved Satans Black Wedding (2019) to draft space after it was nominated for AfD. While draftify is an outcome that can happen at AfD, please don't move pages up for discussion at AfD out of mainspace - it can confuse the discussion.

I am not sure why you reverted all the changes made to the WSH page. I have restored them and removed the offending link to indiegogo. I am not not sure why you don't like a link to an indiegogo campaign page, it seems just as valuable as any blog post or social media item, but no matter.
The page is more accurate with my changes and decidedly not up to date without them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.232.123 ( talk) 19:45, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

This was an improper warning. If you had bothered to read the ongoing AFD (now closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dardanus (Raymond Leppard recording)) on this page, Niggle1892 was removing content that was considered to be a copyvio.

Hallo. I've just read your three messages on my Talk page. To cut a long story as short as possible, I recently created some fifty articles about recordings featuring the opera singer Frederica von Stade. A user called Softlavender nominated all but two of them for deletion. Monitoring the discussions about what should happen to them, I noticed that a user called Smerus had said that they should be deleted on the grounds that the paraphrased reviews which I had included in their "Critical reception" sections constituted violation of copyright. I removed these paraphrased reviews in order to try to save the articles from being deleted altogether. I was trying to preserve the articles, not to vandalize them. My intention was then to replace the paraphrased reviews that I had removed with rewritten versions that Smerus would accept. (So far I have had the time to do this with only one article, The Three-Cornered Hat (André Previn recording).) I hope that I have explained all this clearly. If you have any questions, please leave a message on my Talk page. Niggle1892 ( talk) 17:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Path Slopu,
This is regarding the article that I submitted about Dr. Gurpreet Singh Wander. You have left a message then that the article was not neutral and there were no reliable sources to support the information shared about him. I have gone through couple of articles on Wikipedia and have edited the article with sufficient reliable sources. Kindly check and help me to get this article published. Please suggest if the article needs to be further edited as I am fairly new and this is my first submission. I have deleted all the irrelevant information and added facts about him. Looking forward for your response. Here is the url of the draft for your reference : /info/en/?search=Draft:Dr._Gurpreet_Singh_Wander#References Envisage Insights ( talk) 13:31, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there,
I and Scott Burley have just declined a number of your page protection requests.
You were obviously right as to there being various issues on the pages and to revert (or adapt, in a few cases). However, RFPP requests aren't really needed if there's only a single editor/IP causing problems, even if they do so repeatedly - it's easier to warn them and then send them to AIV/ ANI, rather than cause the collateral damage of a page protect. Hope that helps, let me know if you've got any questions Nosebagbear ( talk) 17:32, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, Path slopu, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created Sreedevi Kakkad and hope there will be many more biographies of women from Kerala.

Thanks for the message... I don't think we've met before? Also, I got the message after mole day had finished? Deryck C. 16:21, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Path slopu. 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 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! Barkeep49 ( talk) 20:28, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Dear Path slopu,
Thank you for undoing edits made to the wikipedia entry of 'Jan Deckers' by Solsticesummer earlier today. I am not a regular Wikipedia user, and may have wrongly removed some tags (inserted on the page in August 2016). However, the edits make sense as all statements have been verified by reference to external sources. Please either delete the Wikipedia page for 'Jan Deckers' or reinstate the edits made by Solsticesummer.
Much appreciated, Solsticesummer 26/10/19 Solsticesummer ( talk) 18:33, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your tireless efforts on wikipedia Gumshoe97 ( talk) 21:42, 30 October 2019 (UTC) |
The WikiCup is over for another year! Our Champion this year is Adam Cuerden ( submissions), who over the course of the competition has amassed 91 featured pictures, including 32 in the final round. Our finalists this year were:
All those who reached the final will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field. Awards will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved much this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
We have opened a scoring discussion on whether the rules and scoring need adjustment. Please have your say. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2020 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hello! Wishing you a Happy Halloween on the behalf of WikiProject Holidays and WikiProject Horror.
Trick or Treat! Happy Halloween Path slopu! I hope you have a great day and remember to be safe if you go trick-or-treating tonight with friends, family or loved ones. Happy Halloween!
Halloween is a celebration observed in several countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, as well as watching horror films.

Hello Path slopu,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 808 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the
NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some
really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Hi, Path slopu. It looks like you were trying to move St. George's Forane Church, but you left it as a redirect to itself. I'm not sure of all the components of this intended move, so I won't try to fix it myself, but hope you can do so. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 15:03, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
