If it happens that you have come here thinking you were going to talk with a user called Kahtar, you should know that i am also Kahtar; i use that account to make semi-automated edits, and don't watch the talk page. Feel free to write here, instead. Notification of administrators without tools

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.

TolBot (talk) 21:00, 28 March 2024 (UTC) New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024Hello LindsayH,  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. Reminders:

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:10, 27 June 2024 (UTC) Your edit summary question at "Augustus"In your recent edit to "Augustus" you wrote this edit summary:
The only real talk page discussion I found was at "Talk:Augustus/Archive 2". The substantial reason given in that discussion is that "Manual of Style/Dates and numbers" calls for consistency within an article and following the style used by the first editor to use era notation, unless there is a reason specific to the article to change. Mere preference for one style or the other is not a sufficient reason. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:43, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I don’t think we’ve interacted much but I often notice your very constructive contributions to the project, so much so that when I saw you over at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period mentioning you’d considered standing for RfA, I was genuinely astonished to learn you weren’t already an admin! Whatever happens with RfA reform, I hope we land on something that can persuade you to pursue it! Meanwhile, thanks for all you already do—like I say I often notice how valuable it is. Innisfree987 (talk) 07:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC) Request for Your Expertise on Draft:Md Zillul KarimHi Lindsay I hope you are well. I am currently working on the draft article Draft:Md Zillul Karim and noticed your recent edits in repairing citation errors. Your expertise in this area is highly respected. I would be grateful if you could take a moment to review the updated draft and provide any advice or suggestions you might have to further enhance it. Your insights would be invaluable in ensuring the article meets Wikipedia’s standards. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates. Here is the schedule:
Please note the following:
Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process. To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.  You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:35, 8 October 2024 (UTC) Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates
Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase. The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner. On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA. Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats"). Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page.
