Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Restoring old revision of File:Screenshot from Un Chien Andalou.jpg
[edit]The film is now in PD in the US, so i think the original upload should be restored and reverted.--Mayimbú (talk) 05:40, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
restored. Jay 💬 09:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- Can you do the same with File:RKR wiki pic.jpg? The original file uploaded 2 days before the hidden version seems to be missing in the file history. --Mayimbú (talk) 17:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- The hidden version (from 2010) was smaller (10 KB). I have restored it though. Jay 💬 05:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Jay, You offered to help make the COI/paid editing disclosures "Let me know if you need help making the disclosures. Jay 💬 07:13, 24 November 2024 (UTC). I would like to mak the disclosure and would be most grateful for your help. Ireneangelico (talk) 15:30, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- As per that talk, did you go through WP:Paid-contribution disclosure#How to disclose and have any questions regarding it? Jay 💬 16:22, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
WTF
[edit]You've been an administrator since like forever (fooled me, I didn't even realize you were one) and you're this clueless? If your objective is to raise my blood pressure to the limit, you've succeeded brilliantly. wbm1058 (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Clueless about what? I wondered the same about you, but I knew you are an admin since you deleted a page. Jay 💬 19:44, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
Request to rename WikiProject
[edit]Hi there, I'm hoping you might be able to help us over at WikiProject Eurovision. We recently had a discussion on renaming the project and consensus was reached to rename to "WikiProject Song Contests". Given the large number of sub-pages which have been created over time, I felt getting help from an admin would be beneficial, just so I don't royally screw it up! Looking through the pages I don't believe everything needs to be renamed, as a lot of stuff has been archived, so if you're willing to help, please let me know if you'd like a full list of pages to be renamed! Many thanks. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 10:39, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- If the archived pages needn't be renamed, then won't they continue to show in a user search and create confusion? For example, WP:WikiProject Eurovision/Archive/todo. If a user types in "WP:WikiProject Eurovision" in the search bar, it will list this and all archived pages. Or is it sufficient that the base WP:WikiProject Eurovision page is deleted (and not made a redirect) as part of the pagemove, while any other non-archived pages continue to exist as redirects to the new page name? Upto 100 subpages can be moved as part of a page move. Jay 💬 16:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
