Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus has been found in an RfC to automatically place RfAs on hold after one week.
 * The article creation at scale RfC has been closed.
 * An RfC on the banners for the December 2022 fundraising campaign has been closed.

Technical news
 * A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Arbitration
 * Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 12, 2022 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.
 * The proposed decision for the 2021-22 review of the discretionary sanctions system is open.
 * The arbitration case Reversal and reinstatement of Athaenara's block has been closed.
 * The arbitration case Stephen has been opened and the proposed decision is expected 1 December 2022.
 * A motion has modified the procedures for contacting an admin facing Level 2 desysop.

Miscellaneous
 * Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add  to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morris Hills (musical rap artist) as "Delete"
You appear not to have deleted the article, though? This may be because the sock puppet creating editor moved it during the discussion 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:31, 30 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Nice catch, thanks! It's now deleted. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 22:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

False accusations
You have accused me of not leaving an edit summary when anyone can see that I did so, and you have protected the article I was editing with a false accusation of vandalism. Why? 86.190.146.190 (talk) 10:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Indeed, an anonymous user that takes off 17,663 characters, most of the work that was invested in the article by many, is a potential troll, and the deed is vandalism. It made no detailed explanation for this deletion, except "Removed unencyclopaedic material. Writing out in prose data which has no real encyclopaedic value and should be tabulated if it did, really is a waste of time". If this is done by a registered entity, the correct way to make such a change is to open a discussion about the article, and be open to potential other thoughts.

 * @Agmonsnir @86.190.146.190 Blanking most of a page's material is the sort of thing you want to discuss on the talk page. I think there's some legitimate original research concerns here, but that's no excuse for edit warring. Please work it out while the article's semi-protected. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 17:37, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You have failed to explain why you made two obviously false accusations. Was it consciously malicious, or merely incompetent? 86.152.114.125 (talk) 16:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
