Administrators' newsletter – September 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

- Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
- A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that
[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment
.
- Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166)
- The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming
local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus
. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged tonote when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful
.
- Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
Lucier (restaurant)
Hello, Another Believer. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Lucier (restaurant) at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:40, 4 September 2023 (UTC) |
- Thanks for the heads up! ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- No worries. I flagged uncited three direct quotations in the lede and I was about to tag the "Reception" --> "The Oregonian" subsection as {{undue}} but I didn't think the template message was appropriate here. That subsection is far out of proportion to the rest of the section and the article. I understand The Oregonian is a major source for the article but it shouldn't dominate. Anyway, good luck with the article and your planned GA nom. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 01:40, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Baffle gab1978 Thanks! I will fix the lead. Yes, I agree re: The Oregonian. Much appreciated! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup.

Edit summaries
Another Believer. I see you have fallen into the sloppy habit of not leaving proper edit summaries, if you ever did leave edit summaries. While I don't think leaving edit summaries is mandatory, leaving + and - signs indicating you have either added or subtracted textual content from the article isn't really good enough for a profligate article creator, particularly since of the edit changes are relatively large. I would suggest you start using them on a regular basis. I will check back in a couple weeks. If you haven't I'll take you to admin. scope_creepTalk 14:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

2023 Vancouver Michelin Ratings
It's worth mentioning that the restaurants listed here: https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/article/dining-out/michelin-guide-vancouver-new-additions-restaurants aren't necessarily Michelin starred. They have been added to the guide for 2023 but we don't yet know the rating. They could be Bib Gourmands or other ratings beneath a Michelin star.

Edits to Baroness Joanna Shields page

My name is Laura and I work for Joanna Shields, Baroness Shields, a baron, businessperson, and former British politician. The page about her was recently tagged for COI and advert issues due to some poor edits made years ago. I posted here regarding my desire to address the substance of the tags with a re-write or heavy trims, to remove the promotional content. I was hoping you might be willing to chime in on the proposed trims and/or the suggestion for a rewrite. Let me know. Best regards.~~~~ LauTad89 (talk) 07:58, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Just a quick reminder that Canada and the United States both have their own dedicated country-restaurant-stub templates and categories. So the correct stub tag for a Canadian restaurant is {{Canada-restaurant-stub}}, not separate applications of {{Canada-stub}} and {{restaurant-stub}} as two separate templates, and the correct stub tag for an American restaurant is {{US-restaurant-stub}}, not just {{restaurant-stub}}.

#IABot

Can you take a look at your run of #IABot with the Vance Monument article? It did something really weird. It "rescued" every citation, not just those identified with problems. (I actually don't think there were any with issues as I had check each one this before submitting for GA review). Some of these are false rescues, with no archive copy created by Wayback because of copyright blocks depiste the archive notice being attatched to the citation. Is this what you expected the bot to do? Seems strange to me. Thanks. Rublamb (talk) 05:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm contacting you because the drag queen list page has some inaccuracies. A user continues to report non-existent content on online sources and new and old programming. See here [1]. The user justifies himself by stating in the reasons “ Hometowns should be located according to where they perform most (see previous editions for an example)”, see here [2]. Please can you bring back the previous contents (which include the birthplace of each drag queen as already happened in previous seasons and in the current one). 2A02:B123:F06:F80B:2101:2DD2:2CBB:E13D (talk) 14:06, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
