Wheel war?
Did you just accuse me of wheel warring for pulling the ITN when there's no reverting involved? -- KTC (talk) 21:55, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Was just about to note that per WP:WHEEL you are the one wheel warring, not the administrator who reverted the action that was too soon to post. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 21:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's correct. The only wheel warring here is from Fuzheado in reinstating an already reverted admin action. I suggest you self-revert immediately. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:02, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I guess it's a done deal now and someone's even closed the discussion, so no value in reverting at this stage, but in future please don't accuse others of WP:WHEEL when it's actually you who's doing the wheeling. That's a very poor show. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , I've BOLDly reverted that close given the WHEEL accusation that should (ideally) result in a self-revert and that the blurb discussion is better placed on ITN/C than ERRORS. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 22:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I have to agree with KTC here, I am not sure you understand what wheel warring is at this point. But yeah, you done did it. Not KTC. PackMecEng (talk) 01:46, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Husond • MattWade • MJCdetroit • Carioca • Vague Rant • Kingboyk • Thunderboltz • Gwen Gale • AniMate • SlimVirgin (deceased)

Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus was reached to deprecate Editor assistance.
 * Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.

Technical news
 * Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Arbitration
 * After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.

Proposed deletion of Gillmor Gang


The article Gillmor Gang has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The article does not meet WP:GNG. I searched for quite a while on Google News and couldn't find any sources that were reliable secondary sources of information. The podcast appears to have been produced by TechCrunch and Steve Gillmor wrote articles for TechCrunch that have been republished by YahooNews under different domain names. After excluding any search results from TechCrunch and Yahoo news there are some very questionable sites that have published the podcast's newletter, which I believe would still be considered a primary source. Aside from that there are a few other mentions of the words 'gillmor' and 'gang' in some articles, but they refer to other things."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Since the beginning of the month, phabricator tickets about language codes (and names of languages) were reviewed and triaged to better reflect their content and current status. Some work was done to better identify the steps for such changes, highlight and address bottlenecks and system issues. Patches for a few codes were contributed and are being released. Phabricator "Language codes" workboard provides an overview, T284856 attempts to identify maintenance steps and T284276 determine turn-around times. T284808 should finally close a gap in termbox language handeling. A way to better address some or all aspects of changes of language codes applicable to Wikipedia editions still needs to be found. Don't hesitate to request the addition or update of language names (e.g. the name of Dutch in Danish) or missing language codes, notably for monolingual strings (see Help:Monolingual text languages).

 * What kind of places in Wales host public toilets? (Source)
 * UK Health Ministers and their occupations on Wikidata (Source)
 * Count of statements by property for theatrical plays (Source)
 * Things dedicated to St. John the Baptist (Source)


 * Development
 * Mismatch Finder: We started building the foundation of the place that will store the mismatches between Wikidata and other databases/catalogs/...
 * Continued work on migrating the checks of regular expressions for constraints from SPARQL to a better solution to take that load off of the SPARQL endpoint (T176312)
 * Made it possible to show language links from multilingual Wikisource to the other language versions of Wikisource (T275958)
 * Added a new constraint type to indicate that a certain Property should only be used on Lexemes with a specific language (T200689)
 * Fixed a weird issue with suggesters popping back up when they shouldn't (T284219)
 * Invalid data will not be handled better in RDF outputs (T285131)
 * Working on lowering the rate limit at which a misbehaving bot can waste new Item IDs to further reduce the percentage of skipped Item IDs (T284538)
 * Working on not suggesting real Item IDs in the API sandbox to avoid accidental edits by people who think it is not making real edits (T219215)
 * Working on reducing the time it takes between entering a value in a new statement and being able to save the statement (T281669)
 * Improved documentation of the usage tracking aspects in API help pages. Usage tracking is an internal mechanism to track which article on Wikipedia etc uses which data from an Item on Wikidata. (T283040)
 * Language codes for monolingual strings "gsw-fr", "ykg", "wya", "osa-latn" were made available: Alsatian, Tundra Yukaghir, Wendat, Osage (T262922, T252198, T283364, T265297)
 * The English name for language code "crh" and the Swedish name for "fa" were corrected (T240350, T281702)
 * Lexeme language codes ha-arab, sux-latn, sux-xsux, gsg, tlh-piqd, tlh-latn, bfi, pwn, enm were added. That is Hausa in Arabic script, Sumerian in cuneiform and Latin-script,  German Sign Language, Klingon in pIqaD and Latin script, British Sign Language, Paiwan and Middle English. (T282512, T279557)
 * It was determined that language codes can be activated for Wikidata while being blocked for use on Incubator (T273705), this to avoid projects such as a "British English Wikipedia"
 * Language code "es-419" for Latin American Spanish has been available for labels and descriptions for quite some time (T230786)
 * A possibly confusing Russian mis-translation of the name of the language code for "multiple languages" (mul) is being reviewed (T245927)
 * "en-simple:" can be used instead of "simple:" to link to Simple Wikipedia. Query Services outputs "en-simple", not "simple" for sitelinks to Simple Wikipedia (T283149).
 * There was some discussion about the creation of a language code "en-in" for monolingual strings, but "en-in" as interface language seems to be preferred (T212313)

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Trialpears
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg AGK • Eliz81 • Mulad • ThaddeusB • Vianello • Who
 * Pictogram voting rename.png →

Interface administrator changes

CheckUser changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg AGK • DGG

Oversighter changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg AGK

Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
 * An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news
 * IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration
 * The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

Concern regarding Draft:Eileen Gu
Hello, Fuzheado. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Eileen Gu, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Finger Bowl
As the sourced and footnoted article states, the finger bowl is the last function of the meal, after the last course of food, that is, AFTER the sweets or fruit. Those sugary foods lead to sticky fingers, which is exactly the reason for the finger bowl. The finger bowl is not used before dessert unless a particularly messy or greasy dish was served, such as lobster. Plenty of YouTube videos present other practices, but those practices have no support in any written source. MonteGargano (talk) 17:01, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:17, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

OLDPRODs
Please don't remove OLDPROD templates. They are there to show that articles cannot be prodded again, and should never be removed. The display wording is changed automatically after 7 days, if that is what confused you, but I have update the template call on Talk:Bishop Sycamore High School scandal to force it to change display modes immediately. Please read Template:Old prod Meters (talk) 19:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

This should have no visible impact for editors but is needed maintenance work.

Wrong correction
Hi Fuzheado,

You reverted one of my changes from the Daniel in the lions den page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:77.57.203.82

Unfortunately, you are wrong. Bob Marley doesn't have an album called survivor, it is called survival. Why even revert my correction when you can't even be bothered to simply google Bob Marley studio albums?
