News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2023).
Administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.
Arbitration
- Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
- The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.
PLease, be so nice and provide me the last known article (before the deletion) of https://ro.wikipedia.org/?title=Mark_Szabo if its possible. It's my sons wiki page and there are some important infortmation. Thank you very much Lorant.szabo ( talk) 22:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @ Lorant.szabo, unfortunately I cannot retrieve the contents of the deleted page, since I am not an administrator on the Romanian language Wikipedia, only the English language one (en.wikipedia.org). You will have to ask an administrator on that project for assistance. Some useful links that I found:

Hello Aiplaneman,
I'm reaching out to you, as a page I've created in my Sandbox got deleted due to conflict of intereses. I'm fresh at Wikipedia, and to be honest, I believed my Sandbox is my "Safe space" to experiment, that's why I created a page of a company, just to see how it would look like.
As far as i understand, I should have done it as a draft - my bad. Could you please help me in saving my effort into an acceptable form?
Thank you!
All my best,
Aldentyzm Aldentyzm ( talk) 20:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @ Aldentyzm: I'm confused. It appears you removed the content yourself: Special:Diff/1201783363. Removing content in an edit is distinct from deletion, which removes edits or pages from public view. In this case, the edit has not been removed from public view, so you can still find it in the page history. Cheers, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 21:15, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, non-actual-airplane man,
I feel so ridiculous. I put together a page under this account for a local artist. It took me quite some time. Apparently, I got a message months ago that I never saw until I did a search... and now I fear the whole page has been deleted. To be clear, I am not the artist; I am a fan creating one for him (Atomik). If you could help me in resurrecting the page/getting it vetted, I would be so appreciative. My business is: awritingconcierge.com for reference.
Thank you, Allison AdamAtomik ( talk) 14:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Allison/ AdamAtomik ( talk · contribs)! Thanks for writing. Sorry for my late reply. I am less active on Wikipedia these days. I believe you are referring to Draft:Atomik, which was deleted by administrator Jimfbleak ( talk · contribs) for being written like an advertisement. You can see the deletion reason in the page log. As you may know, Wikipedia has policies on writing in a neutral tone and guidelines on subject notability. Given the reason for the page's deletion, I am hesitant to restore the text.
- The conflict of interest (COI) guidelines probably also apply in this situation. To encourage transparency and objectively-written content, Wikipedia volunteers have come up with the COI guidelines, which include disclosure requirements for individuals writing about individuals or entities that they have a relationship with, particularly if they are being paid to do so. Let me know if you have any questions about that. Regards, Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 21:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I am not an active editing user of this wikipedia, and I don't know why I am here, but these tiny corners of the internet are strangely appealing to me. I hope you are doing well after 16 years on here (that's the number your page told me at least). I was a preschooler or something like that 16 years ago. If all this will still be here for me to visit in another 16 years, I hope to stumble into it again. 84.238.85.237 ( talk) 02:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Airplaneman!
I feel happy at least knowing someone out there with far more knowledge of wikipedia than myself can assist. I understand the guidelines; however, I wrote the piece as an admirer of the artist. If that page can't be restored, can I resubmit a new page? It took me a long time to create that content (essentially, just figuring out how the wikipedia platform works) - which is why I'd be forever in someone's debt if it could be restored. If not, please let me know emphatically "no" - and I will proceed with a new page. Thank you! AdamAtomik ( talk) 22:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi @ Airplaneman,
I'm new to wikipedia and recently I created my first page about my friend's family business and it was an unpaid task. One editor @ Jimfbleak got back to me and believe there's a conflict of interst creating this page so he/r suggested I check out the COI related article, revise it and ask him to review before publish. Would you be able to help me retrive the content so I can make it right? Thank you so much.

Hello, would you be able to send me a copy of the page Cojum Dip before its deletion? Although it redirects to Tally Hall since 2023, it used to have some content in 2005 before being deleted shortly after. That page also used to contain Image:WOW.jpg, and I would also appreciate if you can recover this image.
