RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:


 * Proposal 2, initiated by, provides for the addition of a text box at Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
 * Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by and, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
 * Proposal 5, initiated by, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
 * Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
 * Proposal 7, initiated by, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
 * Proposal 9b, initiated by, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
 * Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by, , and , respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
 * Proposal 13, initiated by, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
 * Proposal 14, initiated by, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
 * Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by and, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
 * Proposal 16e, initiated by, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
 * Proposal 17, initiated by, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
 * Proposal 18, initiated by, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
 * Proposal 24, initiated by, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
 * Proposal 25, initiated by, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
 * Proposal 27, initiated by, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
 * Proposal 28, initiated by, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Your abuse filter script
Hello, Ingenuity. I've got your User:Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs.js, I love it. Super helpful. But today I was checking out an IPv6 range, 2603:8081:5b00:65c::/64, which I ended up blocking for a month (nasty BLP vandalism, no constructive edits, from four IPs). 3 out of the four had made edits disallowed by the edit filter. But... it would be great if the /64 range contribs page also showed those filter interventions, so I didn't have to check the IPs individually. Another time it may obviously be a lot more than four IPs. Would that be possible? Bishonen &#124; tålk 19:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC).


 * @Bishonen: I'm afraid not... as far as I'm aware, the API doesn't support getting filter hits for ranges, unfortunately. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 19:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Good afternoon. A user that you unbanned last year has exhibited some worrying behavior. Please see Talk:Fishing cat and attached GANs, as well as User talk:Grungaloo. This kind of thing is not my forte, and I would appreciate another set of eyes from someone who is familiar with the situation. Please let me know your thoughts and your advice on the proper course of action. Fritzmann (message me) 17:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I've left a comment on their talk page. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 18:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Look I have no idea how to deal with this. Gaslighting me on my talk page now, "Your actions have shown me that you hate me" & "I'll quit GA to make you happy". That's just... not okay lol.
 * I have looked at the user's other GANs and personally think that most of them (especially Megafauna, which has large uncited sections) would not pass a review at this stage. However, I don't want to be the one who goes and fails them because this user clearly has animosity towards me. I would appreciate assistance from an administrator who is better versed in dispute resolution to address this. Fritzmann (message me) 22:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

You can't even use your name User:Ingenuity. I want to bring this to your attention because it seems like it might be a threat to dox you, but I'm not completely sure that that is the case, as it is worded oddly.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Administrative panel closure at WP:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination)
I saw your offer on AN, and am happy to take part in this panel. How do you propose we do this? Owen&times; &#9742;  19:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @OwenX: once the AfD hits the seven-day mark (in a couple hours), I'll read through it and email you my preliminary thoughts. We can discuss the close from there. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Owen&times; &#9742;  20:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Um, you should not be taking part in this close Owen, since you've already decided that the article should be kept.? Black Kite (talk) 22:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't think my participation in that DRV renders me WP:INVOLVED, and do not have strong views about the article either way. But since you raised the issue, let's take it to AN and see what others think. Owen&times; &#9742;  22:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course it renders you involved. But I don't think it needs to go to AN, I simply think you should leave the close to Ingenuity, because if you take part and the close is anything other than Delete, Merge or Redirect then there will be a controversy that we really don't need. Black Kite (talk) 22:54, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a valid point. I already posted the question on AN, but will step aside for now. Owen&times; &#9742;  23:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks (I had already posted at AN). To be clear, I'm not accusing you of being biased, only that there clearly would be an issue if anyone decided to take it to DRV (it would almost certainly be re-opened, and we definitely don't need a fourth AfD). Black Kite (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair point. I should have thought of that before spending over an hour carefully reviewing 140 !votes there... Owen&times; &#9742;  23:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Redirecting Where is Kate? to Catherine,_Princess_of_Wales
I appreciate your effort in closing the AfD... but not leaving a redirect is not a policy based outcome, and so I've corrected it. R from non-neutral name signals that that title is disfavored, the history remains deleted, and random readers landing on that prior name are instead redirected to the much more succinct remaining section in the biography. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 08:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Makes sense. Thanks, @Jclemens. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 15:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Please amend the closure to enable the redirect not to get deleted. has now deleted and fully protected the redirect per your close: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=161262546. If you feel like you need to talk to The Anome about undeleting the redirect, that would be great. The redirect should be undeleted. Ping .—Alalch E. 09:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes. Given that you are fine with Jclemens' reasoning, I will now restore the redirect: can you please update your closing summary to reflect this? &mdash; The Anome (talk) 09:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What you have now restored is the whole page history and created a redirect - which suggests this was closed as "redirect" but it was not. It was closed as "delete". The redirect that Jclemens created was a delete and then redirect. As says, the history remains deleted. The redirect is created after the deletion based on the assumption that someone will search this disfavoured term and want the primary article. Whether that is really a policy based outcome is unclear, but that was the intent, and not unreasonable based on the existence of a wikidata item. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I assume Anome made a mistake here, so I've re-deleted the page and undeleted the correct revisions. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. And thanks for reading your way through all that AfD too! Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Many thanks to everyone for cleaning up the mess. That was indeed my mistake: I should only have reinstated the redirect. &mdash; The Anome (talk) 16:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Help with improving my article
Hello Ingenuity,

I noticed that you're quite experienced with article creation on Wikipedia. I would appreciate it, if you could help me look over a biography I recently created on a filmmaker Dare Olaitan. I would just like to be sure it has an encyclopedic tone and that the references are reliable.

Thank you for your time. Aivrie (talk) 01:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Question about your AFD closure
As a matter of curiosity, why did you end up closing Where is Kate? as delete, instead of a merge. Especially with your comment "most people felt that, although there is significant coverage, the article contained more detail than was necessary, and a section in Catherine, Princess of Wales would be more appropriate." Esolo5002 (talk) 22:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey @Esolo5002. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I considered closing it as merge, but many !voters felt that the article's content was inappropriate and should be deleted, and merging would require the article's history to be preserved. It would also have to be a very selective merge, and since there already sections on the main article, it's moot now anyway. Essentially, I felt there wasn't a large benefit to merging it. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

How do you tell if content is AI generated?
Hi, saw your edit and edit summary on Abortion debate, and now I'm curious: how can you tell if content is AI generated? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mr Serjeant Buzfuz: there's not just one thing that can determine if content is AI-generated, unfortunately, but there are a few things I look for. ChatGPT never cites sources (it's not really capable of doing that), and it often generates a opening paragraph, followed by a list, and then a closing paragraph (like in this edit). It uses some phrases often, like "some key points to consider", "plays a crucial role", etc. Another giveaway is that their edit on abortion debate was only two minutes after their last edit, so they'd have to type pretty fast! — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 03:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Will keep an eye out for it. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 09:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am contacting you, seeing as how you have unblocked the user who I have noted above, to ask if it would be OK to remove the sock tag from their userpage? I ask since they are unblocked now, and I don't see a reason to keep it around at this point. Thank you. JeffSpaceman (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time
 Hello :

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! You are receiving this message as a member of the WikiProject Women in Green. You can remove yourself from receiving notifications here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

A Request
Hi, you just banned User:Heisentroph, would it be possible if you could restrict his talkpage access, as he's continuing to use it as a forum page. Mr Fink (talk) 04:23, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

List of Süper Lig broadcasters
I cannot make sense of the rapid deletion of the List of Süper Lig broadcasters page. I created this page again because I did not understand that this page, which does not contain any harmful content and only shows the broadcasters of the league, was deleted before. Can you enlighten me on this issue? Fatihoztrk950 (talk) 15:58, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey @Fatihoztrk950. Please see Articles for deletion/List of Süper Lig broadcasters; the page was deleted because it does not meet the notability guideline for lists. I deleted the page because of the speedy deletion criteria about recreation of previously deleted articles. If you'd like, I can restore the page and move it to your userspace so that you can continue working on it until it meets the guideline for list notability. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 16:03, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
