Administrators' newsletter – February 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2018). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg None
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Blurpeace • Dana boomer • Deltabeignet • Denelson83 • Grandiose • Salvidrim! • Ymblanter

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC has closed with a consensus that candidates at WP:RFA must disclose whether they have ever edited for pay and that administrators may never use administrative tools as part of any paid editing activity, except when they are acting as a Wikipedian-in-Residence or when the payment is made by the Wikimedia Foundation or an affiliate of the WMF.
 * Editors responding to threats of harm can now contact the Wikimedia Foundation's emergency address by using Special:EmailUser/Emergency. If you don't have email enabled on Wikipedia, directly contacting the emergency address using your own email client remains an option.

Technical news
 * A tag will now be automatically applied to edits that blank a page, turn a page into a redirect, remove/replace almost all content in a page, undo an edit, or rollback an edit. These edits were previously denoted solely by automatic edit summaries.

Arbitration
 * The Arbitration Committee has enacted a change to the discretionary sanctions procedure which requires administrators to add a standardized editnotice when placing page restrictions. Editors cannot be sanctioned for violations of page restrictions if this editnotice was not in place at the time of the violation.

Request for intervention please
Good evening Amortias, I tried to request intervention and they adressed me to you. I started editing at the french wikipedia, users name=Marloen at the psychology project as I am psychoanalyst, PhD, university teachning, and have scientific responsabilities at a very high international level. The psychology team of the WikiPedia.fr is hold by Pierrette13, and two other psychologists Cathrotterdam (experimental psychologist) and Bruynek (declared psychoanalyst) who edits privileging her preferences and relationships. I will have a lot to say about. They didn't like my arrival and as I was new and didn't know at this moment how to edit, they started treating me agressively, every time I tried to contribute I was forced out, two request at the administers were sold out by my blocking, and now again they are forcing a global block.  During all previous attempts to discuss and explane myself my diff wasn't take into account. It is troue that when they agress me I am pointing it out and ask to aply wikipedia's principls. For exemple they errased my page yelling on my and making fun etc, etc. They are following me and interfere to my editing, and then they pretend that I am following them. Could you check the history please? I will be willing to send you more details and diffs, but honestly I am not sure any more that someone could impartialy examine my request.--Marloen (talk) 21:44, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

No copyright violation
Hello Amortias,

I've tagged you in a discussion on Cwmhiraeth's Talk Page regarding removed content from this article. A concern regarding a copyright violation was found to be incorrect. If you could please respond to the discussion at your convenience. Thank you, Fiberfile12 (talk) 22:03, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

undeletion of page "Draft:Suzy Williams"
Hello, For brevity, I shall refer here to "Draft:Suzy Williams" as "the page", and "http://www.laughtears.com/suzy_bio.html" as "the bio".

I note that you deleted "the page" due to "Unambiguous copyright infringement of" "the bio". I understand this means that you consider that "the page" is infringing upon the supposed copyright of "the bio", correct?

Please allow me to explain that I wrote the material that got posted to "the bio" some time ago, and basically the same material was recently posted to create "the page". There is no copyright associated with this material.

To make sure there is no appearance of copyright infringement, I propose the following: I will arrange to have "the bio" deleted. Once "the page" is published, "the bio" will become a duplication of it and so is no longer needed anyway. And of course, the link to "the bio" on "the page" would also be removed.

Would this resolve your copyright infringement objection? Would you then permit "the page" to be undeleted or recreated? If so, how would undeletion be accomplished?

Thank you for your service to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.bobbs (talk • contribs) 00:06, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi . To comply with the licensing restrictions we wouldn't be able to host the information even if the previous page was removed. What we would need to be able to host something like this would be for the text to be donated per the instructions here. Amortias (T)(C) 19:59, 4 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi . I have gotten the page "http://www.laughtears.com/suzy_bio.html" to include a notice at top and bottom saying

"The text of this page is released under the Creative Commons Zero Waiver 1.0 (CC0)." including link to https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ I hope this satisfies the requirements properly? Could I now get "Draft:Suzy Williams" undeleted, please? --Dr.bobbs (talk) 01:52, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ but it still needs some work doing before it could be published. Amortias (T)(C) 11:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Page deleted
Why did you delete my GL5 Active protection system page? I was about to edit it! Chickenhero (talk) 20:20, 13 February 2018 (UTC)chickenhero
 * Hi the page was a copyright violation of this page. As such it met the criteria for  speedy deletion and was removed. Amortias (T)(C) 20:23, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

I did say I was about to edit it. Now can you bring the page back on so I can do want I said I will do? Chickenhero (talk) 20:26, 13 February 2018 (UTC)chicknhero
 * Unfortunately not. We cant restore copyright violations as that would be another copyright violation. You'll need to start over without including copyright violations on the page. You can use the page as a reference (if its reliable) to back up your claims but you cant just copy/paste something from elsewhere directly into the encyclopedia.

shiey
Just wondering what I did wrong that caused you to delete the page I created.

Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raptureboi (talk • contribs) 20:36, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi the page itself didn't show how the person it was written about met our notability requirements. If you've got further evidence you can use to show how they meet the guidelines I would be happy to restore the article to a draft so that you can continue working on it without it being at risk of deletion for being insufficiently evidenced.  Amortias (T)(C) 20:43, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Deleted article has returned
Public Charters, Inc, which you deleted after I tagged it for an A7 speedy earlier today has been re-created. I am not and admin and so cant know for certain, but the article seems to be identical to the one you deleted.--SamHolt6 (talk) 22:39, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of TUME wiki page
Greetings, Amortias, I was wondering why the page for TUME (a historically significant game development tool) was deleted (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUME, Explanation: Expired PROD (TW)), and if it would be possible to bring it back.

Articles related to tUME: https://games.greggman.com/game/tume___the_universal_map_editor/ https://segaretro.org/TUME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiU9cQoPtOI http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2685

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.219.139.2 (talk) 17:32, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The page was deleted as it was nominated for deletion a week ago and there were no objections raised to it being removed. The page itself is poorly referenced I'd be happy to bring it back as a draft to allow it to be worked on further before being republished if that would be of help to you though. Amortias (T)(C) 20:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Rob Schrab
Thanks for protecting Rob Schrab. Unfortunately, you protected the wrong version. This is the last good version before the edit warring began. 32.218.41.227 (talk) 20:24, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, per the wrong version which ever version I protect will be wrong. I shouldn't be choosing a version to protect unless its a violation of major policy. If it is indeed wrong' someone should pick up on it who knows more about the subject area than me and fix it. Amortias (T)(C) 20:30, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * A humorous essay is not a policy. Protecting the version that existed before an edit war makes sense to 999/1000 people. 32.218.41.227 (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Fix your block
I don't have any opinion on your blocking people for Arbcom things. But why, oh why, are you adding an autoblock? That's just sloppy blocking. Please remove the autoblock forthwith. Risker (talk) 23:27, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The block wasn't actioned by myself. I suggest you speak to Goldenring in the first instance as they actioned it if they're not readily available I'll happily change that but I'd rather the blocking admin sorted it. Amortias (T)(C) 23:31, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Apologies, Amortias. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.  Risker (talk) 23:35, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

IB ArbCom
If smcandlish is allowed to add himself as a party just by request ("Clearly a party" how?; "accidentally left off" how?) then it's clear I should be able to recuse myself as a party on exactly the same basis. I'm only listed because of his "evidence" (and that doesn't actually hold up to any scrutiny). - SchroCat (talk) 01:41, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
