Thanks[edit]

Thank you for catching and correcting my error on the spelling of "Hope Mirrlees". I appreciate the follow-up. I would guess it's a toss-up as to whether to eliminate all the bad references or to leave them in to catch other misspellings, at least until a genuine "Mirlees" makes its presence known. Thanks again. Originalylem (talk) 14:37, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Åcon for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Åcon is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Åcon until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. «l| Promethean ™|l» (talk) 10:49, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish Wikipedia[edit]

If you have a minute, could you fill me in on how the admin reconfirmation thing works over there? Do you think it works well or is it largely condemned as a disator? How many admin do you have and how many reconfirmations are there per week? What do you do with admins who are inactive? I'm genuinely curious to hear how it works, because I'd like to see something similar done here, but there are various obstacles, like the number of admins, that make it impractical. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to. We've had this system since 2006, and whereas there are (of course) those who feel that it's a bit unnecessary, I'd say it has a strong support, and we're not likely to abandon it. We have re-elections in January, April, July and October (though new admins can be elected whenever) -- if you'd be elected admin now, in May, you'd have to be re-elected in April 2012 and then again in April 2013 et cetera. We're somewhat divided on the subject of inactive administrators. You can't leave the project altogether, of course, since you either have to renominate yourself or (more common) accept someone else's nomination on your talk page, but if you have a strong track record, you're likely to stay admin even if you haven't done much throughout the last year. However, some users will vote against inactive admins (and others will stay neutral, even if they don't outright oppose them), so if there are other reasons why people might oppose you it won't exactly help.

It works well for us. The threshold to become admin is lower, partly because it's not very dramatic to remove them next year, and we have a far easier way to rectify our mistakes. I'd say that being administrator is more of a big thing here. However, we have around 100 admins. It could be that English Wikipedia simply has too many administrators for this to work, even if you spread out the re-election over the entire year. We also spend less time on RfA, since we're more likely to have seen the RfA candidates before -- smaller project, easier to keep track of the active users. /Julle (talk) 21:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Another note on inactive administrators: if you have been a good admin, turned inactive, and lost your tools, pretty much everything you'd have to do to get them back would be to become active again and make a new request for adminship. /Julle (talk) 21:50, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hannu Rajaniemi.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Hannu Rajaniemi.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ^Avic _ennasis @ 12:51, 29 Av 5771 / 12:51, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciated your stance about improving portals on Wikipedia, and the notion of people focusing their efforts upon portal improvement, rather than a hasty deletion of them.

Removal of autosave isue[edit]

You agreed to add the temporary autosave issue for The Last of Us under Development section. Why was it removed again? KahnJohn27 (talk) 12:30, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been involved in editing the article since that discussion and haven't kept track of it, so you should probably ask the user who removed the information. I still don't think it actually adds anything necessary to the article and wouldn't consider it a loss of if the information was permanently removed, but it's a minor issue. /Julle (talk) 17:23, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Andreas Roman[edit]

The article Andreas Roman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Searches found nothing at all and thus there's simply nothing better overall to suggest better notability and improvement.

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

Christian Bale[edit]

Hi there Julle! I had a question about the Svenska Dagbladet ref we included. Since you were able to access the October 1987 article, I was wondering whether you could insert the URL and access date for precision. If you'd like, you could also add the quote that specifies Mio's release period and "url-access=subscription" since the newspaper isn't free, but these aren't crucial. Cheers!

KyleJoan: Sure. I read it through a separate archive of digitalised material which I've never found a good way to link to individual issues or pages through, much less articles, so out of habit I tend to treat that as offline material, but I do have access to the Svenska Dagbladet subscription service as well.

RfA 2021 review update[edit]

Thanks so much for participating in Phase 1 of the RfA 2021 review. 8 out of the 21 issues discussed were found to have consensus. Thanks to our closers of Phase 1, Primefac and Wugapodes.

The following had consensus support of participating editors:

Corrosive RfA atmosphere
The atmosphere at RfA is deeply unpleasant. This makes it so fewer candidates wish to run and also means that some members of our community don't comment/vote.
Level of scrutiny
Many editors believe it would be unpleasant to have so much attention focused on them. This includes being indirectly a part of watchlists and editors going through your edit history with the chance that some event, possibly a relatively trivial event, becomes the focus of editor discussion for up to a week.
Standards needed to pass keep rising
It used to be far easier to pass RfA however the standards necessary to pass have continued to rise such that only "perfect" candidates will pass now.
Too few candidates
There are too few candidates. This not only limits the number of new admin we get but also makes it harder to identify other RfA issues because we have such a small sample size.
"No need for the tools" is a poor reason as we can find work for new admins

The following issues had a rough consensus of support from editors:

Lifetime tenure (high stakes atmosphere)
Because RfA carries with it lifetime tenure, granting any given editor sysop feels incredibly important. This creates a risk adverse and high stakes atmosphere.
Admin permissions and unbundling
There is a large gap between the permissions an editor can obtain and the admin toolset. This brings increased scrutiny for RFA candidates, as editors evaluate their feasibility in lots of areas.
RfA should not be the only road to adminship
Right now, RfA is the only way we can get new admins, but it doesn't have to be.

Please consider joining the brainstorming which will last for the next 1-2 weeks. This will be followed by Phase 2, a 30 day discussion to consider solutions to the problems identified in Phase 1.

There are 2 future mailings planned. One when Phase 2 opens and one with the results of Phase 2. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

RFA 2021 Completed[edit]

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.

The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:

Revision of standard question 1 to Why are you interested in becoming an administrator? Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
A new process, Administrative Action Review (XRV) designed to review if an editor's specific use of an advanced permission, including the admin tools, is consistent with policy in a process similar to that of deletion review and move review. Thanks to all the editors who contributed (and are continuing to contribute) to the discussion of how to implement this proposal.
Removal of autopatrol from the administrator's toolkit. Special thanks to Wugapodes and Seddon for their help with implementation.

The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:

An option for people to run for temporary adminship (proposal, discussion, & close)
An optional election process (proposal & discussion and close review & re-close)

Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.

A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.

This is the final update with no further talk page messages planned.
