Administrators' newsletter – April 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
 * Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news
 * When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem.
 * Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers.

Arbitration
 * A community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure is open until April 25.

W. R. Granger
I recently created W. R. Granger. Could you suggest any DYK hooks? Thanks in advance. Flibirigit (talk) 20:29, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , sure. How about:

Hope this helps. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:40, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That the funeral of  W. R. Granger was reported to be one of the largest funerals ever known in Montreal?
 * That  W. R. Granger was described as one of Montreal's most popular businessmen?
 * Thanks. I will play around with this tonight. Flibirigit (talk) 22:19, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry!!
Sorry to have caused an edit conflict with my rather unnecessary edit on the GA review. I'll stay off the page til you're done to make sure it doesn't happen again ... just ping me whenever that is. I will say that SBNation.com is used in all kinds of promoted WP:BASEBALL content, including featured article Jim Thome, good article Jimmy Rollins, etc. It's published by Vox ... looks like the only WP:RSN entry is indeterminate Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_285 ... the quality varies site-to-site, but in my experience, the Phillies site is generally reliable particularly for the type of content cited here. Can discuss more at the GAN page, but just wanted to flag before I forgot. Sorry again about the edit conflict!  Go  Phightins  !  18:03, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * no worries, I should've saved my work. Alright, I thought it was alongside Fansided (which I have written for and would not deem reliable for Wikipedia). Thanks for letting me know. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:11, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries. Honestly, it's hard to keep track. I'd tend to agree about Fansided, for what it's worth.  Go  Phightins  !  18:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Deleted article
Hi, why did you delete my article!
 * Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. I deleted the article because it was essentially your resume. Please read over What Wikipedia is not. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 13:08, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Quadeca
Hey, I saw that you protected the Quadeca page since it was being repeatedly recreated in 2020. I didn't see that, so I created my own version here and tried to move it until I saw that it was protected. Do you think it's able to be replaced or is it still falling short of nobility? Thanks. reppoptalk 22:57, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , sure I'll remove the protections. I do recommend adding references for the second para under career though as everything on Wikipedia needs a source. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:12, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll add some references before moving. Thank you! reppoptalk 23:13, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
