WGH (AM)
Something has been bugging me for a while, and I'm not sure how to fix it: Reference # 6 "bleeds" into the infobox on the WGH (AM) article. I thought you might know how to fix it? User:Rudy2alan (talk)
 * Might be a screen size thing, because it's not doing that for me. I'm seeing the references in three columns, and #6 is in the middle column. Mlaffs (talk) 15:02, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

It happens only after I log in, so I would say it is my computer. I'll have to look on someone else's computer when I have the opportunity. Rudy2alan 14:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * The RfC on administrator activity requirements failed to reach consensus for any proposal.
 * Following discussions at the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and Wikipedia talk:Administrators, an earlier change to the restoration of adminship policy was reverted. If requested, bureaucrats will not restore administrator permissions removed due to inactivity if there have been five years without a logged administrator action; this "five year rule" does not apply to permissions removed voluntarily.

Technical news
 * A new tool is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.

Arbitration
 * The Arbitration Committee announced two new OTRS queues. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., WP:COIN or WP:SPI).
 *  has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive paid editing.
 *  has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.

Miscellaneous
 * Following the 2019 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: Base, Einsbor, Jon Kolbert, Schniggendiller, and Wim b.

WLLZ and WDTW-FM
These two stations finally swapped their call signs today according to their FCC call sign history. I already changed the articles but don't have time to set up the page moves. I'm hoping you can do it before we get a copy/paste move from somebody. Thanks. RobDe68 (talk) 17:35, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry I wasn't available to help in the moment, but I saw you got some help. Glad I was able to come do a bit of clean up afterward. Mlaffs (talk) 18:15, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

WMWC
Hey Mlaffs, Could you make the WMWC page a disambig, move the current WMWC to it's own page and use the disambig to point to the radio and television page, please? I'd greatly appreciate it. :) Thanks... Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 17:44 on March 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * Done — that one had actually been on my (very lengthy) to-do list for quite a while. Mlaffs (talk) 18:16, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank You and You're Welcome! :) -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 00:35 on March 12, 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguators - defunct radio stations
Hey, after seeing your move of KHWK to KHWK (defunct) this week, I think you might be interested in reading a RfC on the (defunct) disambiguator for radio. Existing practice might not be in line with MoS, and I do now think better disambiguators can be found for most articles. Raymie (t • c) 04:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
