Administrators' newsletter – April 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2017).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg TheDJ
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Xnuala • CJ • Oldelpaso • Berean Hunter • Jimbo Wales • Andrew c • Karanacs • Modemac • Scott

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a discussion on the backlog of unpatrolled files, consensus was found to create a new user right for autopatrolling file uploads. Implementation progress can be tracked on Phabricator.
 * The BLPPROD grandfather clause, which stated that unreferenced biographies of living persons were only eligible for proposed deletion if they were created after March 18, 2010, has been removed following an RfC.
 * An RfC has closed with consensus to allow proposed deletion of files. The implementation process is ongoing.
 * After an unsuccessful proposal to automatically grant IP block exemption, consensus was found to relax the criteria for granting the user right from needing it to wanting it.

Technical news
 * After a recent RfC, moved pages will soon be featured in a queue similar to Special:NewPagesFeed and require patrolling. Moves by administrators, page movers, and autopatrolled editors will be automatically marked as patrolled.
 * Cookie blocks have been deployed. This extends the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user if they switch accounts, even under a new IP.

The WikiCup
Six of your GA reviews have been disallowed for scoring for the WikiCup because your submissions were not made within the allowed period of ten days. A slippage of a couple of days can be allowed, but these submissions are each over ten days late. See this discussion on the DYK talk page. Even with these 24 points disallowed, it looks likely that you will have scored sufficient points to advance to the next round. For the WikiCup judges, Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:24, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Newspaperarchive account
Hi; sorry to be a pain (I know you are busy etc) but I completed the online form for my Newspaper Archive account 8 weeks ago and I have heard nothing since. Is there a problem, or should I re-apply? Your approval was on the 15 February and I completed the form on the same day. Thanks and regards. The joy of all things (talk) 18:26, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I have checked, and I messed up. It appears that when I sent in a group of names to be approved, I forgot to send in yours, but marked that whole group as having been sent in. I have sent their coordinator an email, and you should soon have access. Apologies. -- Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  18:27, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, no worries; worse things happen at sea! I'm just glad its sorted and thank you for your time. Regards (and thanks again). The joy of all things (talk) 18:45, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Boraida-class replenishment oiler
Iazyges, It appears you've copied and pasted source material into Boraida-class replenishment oiler. Doesn't look like this is PD, and part of what was copy and pasted is ungrammatical and/or of limited sense, even accounting for an abbreviated style ("Saudi Arabia in accordance with the needs of libraries and aft with two helicopter landing deck, operable two dolphins or a light helicopter Puma medium helicopters"??). Would you please review/fix. Thanks, ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 02:23, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Apparently I'm required to insert "" on your page. In the interests of not templating a regular, this should suffice. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 02:41, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * It appears so, but I can't think why I would have done so. I'll fix it now. -- Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  02:43, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I believe I have fixed the problem, but feel free to tell me if you think it is still too close to the original source. -- Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  02:47, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

A page you started (Boraida-class replenishment oiler) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Boraida-class replenishment oiler, Iazyges!

Wikipedia editor Hydronium Hydroxide just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Thanks, I think that probably suffices (given facts aren't copyrightable and there are standard ways of phrasing some things)."

Rocket and space articles
Hey there. As you may have noticed, I have a strong interest in rocket and space articles. I have trouble finding collaborators often. If you ever need help, or a peer review, let me know. I did not take on the GA review because I do not have access to those sources, otherwise I would have loved to. Let me know if you ever need help with anything!  Kees08 (Talk)  04:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The sources I used for that one are all preview or read free books on Google. I didn't have books relating to it because it's an obscure subject, and I haven't done that much with Rockets. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  14:42, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Volunteer Roll Call
This is a volunteer roll call sent to you on behalf of the current Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Coordinator, Robert McClenon, and is being sent to you because you have listed yourself as a volunteer at DRN. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to the roll call list. Those who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after May 31, 2017 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after May 31, 2017, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.
