Guideline and policy news
 * A request for comment seeking to alleviate pressures on the request an account (ACC) process proposes either raising the account creation limit for extended confirmed editors or granting the account creator permission on request to new ACC tool users.
 * In a related matter, the account throttle has been restored to six creations per day as the mitigation activity completed.
 * The scope of CSD criterion G8 has been tightened such that the only redirects that it now applies to are those which target non-existent pages.
 * The scope of CSD criterion G14 has been expanded slightly to include orphan "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects that target pages that are not disambiguation pages or pages that perform a disambiguation-like function (such as set index articles or lists).
 * A request for comment seeks to determine whether Office actions should be a policy page or an information page.

Technical news
 * The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Community feedback is invited.

Miscellaneous
 * In February 2019, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) changed its office actions policy to include temporary and project-specific bans. The WMF exercised this new ability for the first time on the English Wikipedia on 10 June 2019 to temporarily ban and desysop . This action has resulted in significant community discussion, a request for arbitration (permalink), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an open letter to the WMF Board.

Winter Jones
Hello! The IP whose edit you reverted on Winter Jones is from the actual person the article is about. They emailed us and attached official name change documentations (refer to Ticket#2019070610004222). I was wondering if you could hide their IP to avoid possible privacy issues, and if there are any further steps required to confirm this other than just logging it in the ES? Thanks.--&#9656; ‎épine talk &#9836; 16:24, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Subway Cinema
Hi, you just did a revdel on this article, and the editor has once again recreated the article (little more than an advertisement), using copyrighted material. Could you please take another look at it? If you agree that it needs revdel, could you restore the redirect again afterwards? And then, based on the edit history, protecting the redirect from being turned into an article again without admin access? Thanks.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:05, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I've dealt with the copyvio and restored the redirect but I don't think it merits full-protection at the moment. Nthep (talk) 14:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

 * style="vertical-align:top; border:2px #007fff solid; padding:1em; width:45%; background:#ccf;"|


 * Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.

Specific aims for the project are:-


 * To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
 * To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
 * To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status
 * To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
 * To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
 * To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


 * Priority Articles

The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows -


 * Bradford • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • Northern England • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

Images of England
The Images of England web site is to be decommissioned this month by Historic England. The text of the site entries has been available on the corresponding National Heritage List entry since that web site was created. The images are being transferred ahead of the decommissioning. As a result of this a BOT has changed all IoE templates to NHLE templates and translated the reference number according to a list provided by Historic England.

It would be good if members could check these, when they come across them, as I have spotted one with an incorrect translation. Some articles already had NHLE templates in them so the references may need to be combined. Other changes that may need to be performed are removal of template or text referring to the site as needing registration, changing the text "Images of England" or "IoE" to something more appropriate or may be even removing it if it is part of the description..


 * WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The August 2019 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.


 * Please bear in mind...

The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.

Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible. Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

File:National Bank of New Zealand logo.svg
Hi Nthenp. I think the IP which was edit warring over this file's non-free use a few years back might be back as. The first two edits were unrelated to the file, but then the IP goes right to the file's page adds re-adds the WP:FURs removed per the FFD and then re-adds the file to two articles where non-free use was deemed non-compliant. Your FFD close was endorsed at DRV and nothing about the logo use has changed; so, I removed the rationales and files per the FFD. Would you mind watching things for a bit in case the IP comes back and tries to do the same thing again? At the same, time if you think the situation has changed and your close is no longer applicable, then feel free to revert my reverts. If that's the case though, it would be helpful for you to adjust you close accordingly to avoid any confusion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:48, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a request for comment, the page Office actions has been changed from a policy page to an information page.
 * A request for comment (permalink) is in progress regarding the administrator inactivity policy.

Arbitration
 * Editors may now use the template Ds/aware to indicate that they are aware that discretionary sanctions are in force for a topic area, so it is unnecessary to alert them.

Miscellaneous
 * Following a research project on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to improve the privacy of IP editors. The result of this project may significantly change administrative and counter-vandalism workflows. The project is in the very early stages of discussions and there is no concrete plan yet. Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
 * The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing  here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist. Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

Continued additions of copyrighted material by a user you warned
Hi, you informed a user about some of their additions being removed due to copyright reasons here on their talk page. The user does not seem to have noticed or heeded your advice, indeed most of their additions seem to be copypasted plot information and cast lists, often copying the formatting, too, i.e separating male and female talent in the article just as the site they copied it from does. Since you seemed to take notice, I figured I'd go to you first. Eik Corell (talk) 21:55, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look later today when I have more time. Nthep (talk) 07:46, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I had a look at couldn't see (without a lot of research) anything actionable. If you can identify specific copyvios those can be dealt with.  The separating out of cast lists by gender is a stylistic issue which needs to be discussed out. Nthep (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Aylesford Priory
I think you may have been the admin who revdelled some text added to this article in July. I have removed recently added text today, that may also need to be revdelled, if you would please have a look. After a bit of fumbling research, I think the photos are okay, (because they are of 3D art), but the text is lifted from the website page, per earwig. My removals where made in two "chunks", which should be easy to see from the history.

I have gone to the trouble of posting a detailed explanation on the editor's talk page (and a shorter one on the article TP), so I hope, that as a favor to me, you will give them another "chance", in the hopes that my strong words and detailed personal message has gotten the point across! Thanks very much,  Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect!  23:21, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is any action needed here as long as the lesson is learned about copying and pasting. The issues I have are more about tone and sourcing.  The only source used is the priory's own website and the tone is close to promotional "finest in the country" etc, it needs far more references from independent sources.  The images are all ok as there are of 3D items and although still in copyright are covered by s62 of the UK copyright act. Nthep (talk) 11:16, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the above. I am hoping the editor can help locate some of the print sources that were used to write the historical info on the website. Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect!  23:15, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Sam Fender image
Hi Nthep. I have been in email contact with a photographer for a photo of Sam Fender. Initially I uploaded a version the photographer was not happy with here  File:Sam Fender 2019 melaniesmith.jpg which I have now nominated for deletion. She agreed to a lower resolution which I have uploaded here  File:Sam Fender2019 melaniesmith lowres.jpg. The photographer should send the OTRS permission template to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org soon or once the previous image is deleted. Is there maybe a chance you could help me with this as I'm not great with these things. Could I perhaps forward you the correspondence via email? I remember you helping me previously with images of Iggy Azalea. Thanks again.  Cool Marc  19:49, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi again, I'd help except I'm travelling a lot at the moment and don't have OTRS access while I'm on the road. It's going to be about 3 weeks before I'm settled again. Nthep (talk) 19:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Is there another admin who deals with OTRS who could maybe assist me? Thanks again.  Cool Marc  19:55, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You can check out category:Wikipedia OTRS volunteers but it's going to be as easy to just submit the email to OTRS direct. Nthep (talk) 20:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
