Guideline and policy news

Following a discussion, a new criterion for speedy category renaming was added: C2F: One eponymous article, which applies if the category contains only an eponymous article or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination. The default outcome is an upmerge to the parent categories.

Technical news

As previously noted, tighter password requirements for Administrators were put in place last year. Wikipedia should now alert you if your password is less than 10 characters long and thus too short.

Arbitration

The 2019 CheckUser and Oversight appointment process has begun. The community consultation period will take place October 4th to 10th.
The arbitration case regarding Fram was closed. While there will be a local RfC focus[ing] on how harassment and private complaints should be handled in the future, there is currently a global community consultation on partial and temporary office actions in response to the incident. It will be open until October 30th.

Miscellaneous

The Community Tech team has been working on a system for temporarily watching pages, and welcomes feedback.

You've got Mail from mcelite

Hello, Anne Delong. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

Hi Anne Delong please reply this message is from mcelite. Thank you for your time.2600:1700:E5D0:CC30:AD0B:DAA8:B11A:B813 (talk) 14:39, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello mcelite.

I received your e-mail, but I prefer not to discuss Wikipedia business off-wiki, so this is my only reply. You were legitimately blocked for using multiple accounts to try to get around Wikipedia's policies. The admins who made this decision spent time looking into the matter carefully and were previously uninvolved. According to WP:SOCKBLOCK, you should now wait six months or so, and then make an unblock request without blaming relatives or anyone else, and explaining why Wikipedia would benefit from your edits, and promising not to make other editors and admins, who would rather get on with adding neutral facts and sources to the encyclopedia, spend their time dealing with sockpuppetry or edit warring instead. Not being able to edit Wikipedia in the meantime may be disappointing, but certainly not "terrifying", and saying so won't help convince anyone that you are a reasonable person who can follow the policies.

About the other editor you mentioned in your e-mail: he/she is not the reason you were blocked. Don't worry; there are tens of thousands of editors; if some inappropriate edits are made, someone will fix them eventually. If there's disagreement about the edits, Wikipedia has plenty of accepted dispute resolution mechanisms, such as Wikipedia:Third opinion and Wikipedia:Requests for comment.

Please do something else for a few months before making another unblock request.—Anne Delong (talk) 15:10, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Anne, thank you very much for replying it means a lot. I accept my punishment even though yes it's hard because I want to do more. I just wanted to show that I didn't just start trouble to just to be difficult and that I'm not blaming Corbie for my block. I did want to show what Corbie was doing so it could be brought to the attention of others. I made a serious mistake and I know apologizing right now won't change my current standing. Again thank you for your response and time.2600:1700:E5D0:CC30:C571:DBCD:3C38:8C99 (talk) 15:50, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

BLP considerations

Anne, hello again! I want to write an article about this incident. It is notable as it has historic implications both politically and otherwise. It also has SIGCOV to support content. I think I can take it cautiously enough with WP:BLP open in the other tab. My concern is, whether the very idea of an article is improper or TOOSOON as, all the sigcov notwithstanding, the accusation itself still remains just that. Would it be WP:GOSSIP to create an article before the crime is proven, considering the SIGCOV is mostly focused on the alleged perpetrator, rather than the victim? Etcetera. Usedtobecool ^TALK ✨ 14:42, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Usedtobecool. If reliable sources have reported the arrest, then it is not gossip, as long as only the facts in the sources are summarized. However, I don't see why this incident would need an article separate from the article that already exists about Krishna Bahadur Mahara. It's only because he is a well-known person that the incident is in the news. I suggest that instead you start a section about the incident near the end of his article, being very careful not to add any speculation, only reported facts. Even if he is later convicted, mistreatment of women is unfortunately all too common, so unless there is something particularly unusual about the case, a few sentences in the existing article are probably enough. The text can always be moved to a separate article later in the unlikely case where the story expands beyond him (if, for example, investigators find a pattern of mistreatment involving other officials).—Anne Delong (talk) 06:00, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Druhá Tráva

Hello, way back in 2013 you made a statement at Talk:Druhá Tráva calling for that article to be improved. Fortunately you are still active at Wikipedia, so perhaps you would be interested to know that I have finally improved the article. I myself had thought about doing this since I saw the band play about 18 months ago. Check it out if interested. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:33, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

An RfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
Following a proposal, the edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.

Technical news

Wikimedia projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows the setting of a different default block length for IP editors. Neither is currently used. (T219126)

Arbitration

Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 2 December 2018 UTC. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.

Miscellaneous

The global consultation on partial and temporary office actions that ended in October received a closing statement from staff concluding, among other things, that the WMF will no longer use partial or temporary Office Action bans... until and unless community consensus that they are of value or Board directive.
