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.
Hi. My draft Draft:İstiklal_Makzume_Anadolu_Lisesi was declined for the second time due to WP:GNG by you. At the same time my deletion nomination for Heritage High School (Brentwood, California) was reverted, citing WP:NEXIST by another editor. Could you help me understand why WP:NEXIST was not considered with the draft? I don't have direct access to the local newspaper archives. They are not digitized and the paper archives are not searchable. But the present references from local and national newspapers, I believe, suggest that such in-depth coverage would exist, especially around 1986 when the school was founded. Gorkem80 (talk) 21:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
@Gorkem80, as this was my first experience on AfC, I could say that, the draft may need some more news sources, not just passing mentions, to become notable. As I know little on helping others, I suggest you ask another editor. Toadette(Happy holiday!)15:18, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Wait Trabeltomed, did I unintentionally left the AfC tag on? You can just remove it by removing all templates before the short description and multiple issues templates. It has probably cause after misclicking on the "Random AfC" link in the accepting process window. Toadette(Merry Christmas, and a happy new year)20:21, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I have a question: Why does the article not appear in Google search engines like other articles that have been accepted? I think you just moved it from draft to general and didn't accept it Trabeltomed (talk) 23:12, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
@Trabeltomed, in general, new article are not indexed by search engines immediately until it is reviewed by a new page reviewer. Or else after 90 days elapsed.
I see you accepted this article. Did you look into the sources carefully? I sincerely doubt that this is the name of the article subject and it makes for an incredibly unusual article page title. Thank you. LizRead!Talk!21:33, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Also, did you carefully review Mustapha Aarab? I can't find verification for much of the content here. It's unusual for someone of his age to notable enough for a Wikipedia article unless they have had a role in some big films. LizRead!Talk!21:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
@ToadetteEdit Okay, thank you for your suggestion, but Please can you elaborate more on why the article wasn't approved and what to do to improve the article so that on my next article it won't have the same issue. 1slodan (talk) 19:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Following a motion, the Arbitration Committee rescinded the restrictions on the page name move discussions for the two Ireland pages that were enacted in June 2009.
You accepted James Peter through AFC, but the article had significant copyright violations. The university career section was closely paraphrased from this source which was in the article as a source. It is essential for AFC reviewers to check for copyright violations. It is one of the quick fails. Please ensure you do this for any future reviews. Whpq (talk) 02:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi Whpq, I often check copyvios during my reviews but I forgot it do that, especially when reviewing pages "on the fly". I will indeed ensure to check every draft for copyvios, aside from other problematic content. Thank you for raising this concern. Toadette(Merry Christmas, and a happy new year)13:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean by "on the fly". If you are in a situation where you cannot give an AFC review proper attention, it would be best to leave it until you can deal with it properly. -- Whpq (talk) 15:19, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi I am Colin Hancock Guinness World Record Holder The Longest Surviving Triple Heart Bypass Patient. Operation 1977 aged 31 now 77 so 46 years and counting. I did put my story on here didn’t allocate a subject but looking at options MEDICAL. I hadn’t joined at that point but I now have a user name and password. It was rejected very quickly by Curb Safe Charmer! I have plenty of proof my Guinness World Record Certificate, my Doctors note confirming my operation. Over 300 pages of operation notes from St George’s Hospital, Hyde Park Corner, London.
Would be possible for you to pick up what draft I sent in that was rejected I have retained a copy if not.You can also find a comprehensive story on the Guinness World Record Website too.
Maybe this isn’t what Wikipedia would bother publishing if so could you let me know? Also if you find my rejected entry tell me what else I need to do if you feel I can proceed? --ColinHanco (talk) 14:27, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
ToadetteEdit, that makes no sense. There's no difference between the article being written by Colin or by one of his relatives. The same conflict exists. In other words, if a relative can write it as long as they declare their conflict, so can Colin.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:18, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
So where do I stand or fall,to reach this age and still be very active.Thought my achievement by merely still being alive after such a time might give others facing a triple bypass some concrete hope.
He pretty much told us that he created the draft as an IP, and the IP's edits all occurred before he registered an account, so there's no problem there. Obviously, he's interested in promoting himself, but, thus far, he's only created one promotional draft. If he persists, as a registered editor, or as an IP, particularly if he doesn't declare his WP:COI, then a block might be warranted, but it's premature to do so now.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
It's been mentioned twice already, once by Toadette and then by me. If you click on it, you can read about it. In your case, you have a conflict because one presumes that you cannot be netural or objective when writing an article about yourself.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:31, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't even understand the whole situation. Two previous reviewers stated that the draft almost passes GNG. Now I've added 3 more sources. Do you think it now pass GNG? Adambenji (talk) 11:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Just FYI, if you look at the CSD tag you placed on this category page, you would see that you can't use CSD C1 tagging on a category that is part of a CFD discussion, even if that discussion is closed. If the discussion is closed, so there are other ways of signaling this because most likely, the reason for a delection is not because the category is empty but because of a CFD decision.
But CSD C1 tags can't be used on category redirects, category disambiguation pages or categories being discussed at CFD. Thank you. LizRead!Talk!16:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, ToadetteEdit!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! S5A-0043Talk13:28, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey Toadette, I noticed you closed several CfD discussions of December 30th but you haven't implemented them yet. For implementation please read the admin instructions carefully. If you are unsure on how to implement a closure, you can better revert your closure. Thanks! Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Speaking of which, I should probably update that script. I'll do so sometime later today, after I've had a chance to test it. — Qwerfjkltalk10:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
The script can be used alongside XFDCloser. It does not close discussions, it's just for listing them for an admin to process after you've closed them. To use it to list an individual discussion, click the list discussion button and save it (modifying it as appropriate). To then add these discussion to WT:CFDW, there should be a link under "Tools" in one of the dropdown menus, "List discussions". — Qwerfjkltalk16:24, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello Toadette! Thank you for offering to be a mentor for people who could use help with editing on Wikipedia. I would also like to say that I am also against any kind of vandalism or disrespect. I love "The Wild Robot" books because Roz loves nature and protects it. --Raven 297 (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Sorry to trouble you, but I just finished translating a page into English (see User:Rosquitos/Samantha Hudson), but once I was finished and clicked 'publish', it said that it was restricted and I was only able to save it as a personal draft.
Is there any way I can have my translation approved and published? I was previously able to translate an article from English to Spanish, but it appears that Spanish to English is restricted.

Hello! I noticed your signature has insufficient contrast for accessibility considerations. Would you be willing to up the contrast? this contrast checker allows you to find colours: I've prefilled the colour Wikipedia uses for black. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:35, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi @Femke. I've changed the signature to match the colour used before I changed it before Thanksgiving. I was intended to change my signature back to that original colour after a long wikibreak, but I didn't remembered the hex and so added <span style="color:pink;"> to the code. I'll also change the sig which I used after voting an AfD a while ago. Toadette(Let's discuss together!)18:44, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I think there was a request at WP:AFC/R. Since the script also tags talk pages, it appeared an error message stating that the "page" exists, while the script automatically tagged the associated talk page, at the same time. I should have closed it manually, as it hadn't been closed upon viewing and "accepting" it. But IMO, all redirects created via the AfC project should be tagged on their talk pages. Toadette(Let's discuss together!)06:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
I understood. It feels that I am discouraged to close those XfDs, Extraordinary Writ. I will stop closing these until months have elapsed. FYI, I wanted to close the XfDs in order to act like a "young admin"; noting to reduce the admin backlog which ordinary editors can however close them, if appropriate. Toadette(Let's discuss together!)09:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Double Re-listing
Hi ToadetteEdit. Please don't double-relist discussions like you did here; it's not helpful. If a listing hasn't received new comments for 2 weeks, then that's a good indicator it has reached a natural end and should be closed accordingly. -Fastily02:29, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
When you tag pages for this kind of speedy deletion, please use Twinkle and select CSD>G6 Move and put the name of the article to be moved in the field available. Then there is a live link so that patrolling admin can look at the article to be moved to see if the main space redirect should be deleted. Feel free to retag it appropriately. Thanks. LizRead!Talk!08:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
@Liz:, don't be mistaken here. I actually used Twinkle then G6>AfC move. I inserted the name of the draft presuming that the CSD will automatically add the Draft: prefix. Thanks for the information by the way! Toadette(Let's discuss together!)09:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
