Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
Guideline and policy news
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
Technical news
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 15,000 articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is open until 9 May 2024. Read the voting page on Meta-Wiki and cast your vote here!

Hi Mentor. I need your help in publishing an article. Please have a look at this drafted article, and guide me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bdas.in/sandbox --Bhajan Das (talk) 01:14, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Bdas.in! Sorry for the somewhat late response. I’m currently swamped at work and have to finish a project, but I just wanted to let you know that I’ve seen your message and intend to offer some feedback on your draft over the weekend. ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 02:19, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Bdas.in Okay, here are my thoughts. I think you’ve done a good job of finding sources to use and breaking the article into sections. What I would do now is skim through the whole thing and look for two things:
- 1) Any language that could potentially be construed as promotional in tone. For example, I’d suggest removing the word ‘prominently’ from the ‘Work in the Parliament of India’ section.
- 2) Sources that are closely affiliated with Jyoti, or that don’t have significant coverage of her. This would fall into the first category. If there are sources like these, see if you can replace them with third-party sources.
- When you feel that the draft is ready to submit, you can either move it into mainspace yourself, or submit it for review by adding
{{Userspace draft|date=May 2024}}to the top of your sandbox and following the directions there. ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 23:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello I saw a broken link could I replace it with a new one? --Hiebe (talk) 23:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Hiebe and welcome to Wikipedia! Yes, if you see a dead link in an article, it’s generally acceptable to be bold and replace it with another one. Just be careful to avoid spam. :) ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 19:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
