Guideline and policy news
 * Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Partial blocks.
 * The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news
 * Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating.  There is currently one template: uw-pblock.
 * When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title.

Arbitration
 * Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Miscellaneous
 * Voting in the 2020 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2020, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2020, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
 * The English Wikipedia has reached six million articles. Thank you everyone for your contributions!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Caustic Christ albums

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Ezra Bayda page
Hi! I see you have edited the page for White Plum Asanga. I have made a change for Ezra Bayda's page, who was affiliated with White Plum Asanga.

I did so previously but it was removed because there was no verifiable reference given. Would you be willing to check the citation to make sure it is the correct form?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Bayda

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Bayda#cite_ref-10

Thanks! Mizeditor (talk) 23:36, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The change you made needs a reference from a verifiable "reliable source". If you were writing a book or a paper you could refer to "personal communication", but we don't allow this on Wikipedia for any claim.  In particular we are extra careful about living or recently dead people.  The relevant guidance pages are Verifiability, Reliable Sources and Biographies of Living People.
 * If the mailing that you refer to was public, then perhaps it could be used, but we would still need to be careful, as the findings of an enquiry are not the same as the findings of a court of law.
 * As a separate matter, the question of Joko Beck's revocation of dharma transmission may be relevant and sourceable.

Molly Raynor
Maybe not one of your proudest articles: Molly Raynor. It doesn't make the point of notability, but maybe there's stuff that you were aware of at the time that didn't make it into the article. I note that despite the brevity, there is confusion regarding her birth year. I've had a look on the New Zealand birth, death and marriages database and I find a Ada Mary Raynor (parents William and Mary Elizabeth) born on 17 October 1903 (registration number 1903/7894). Is it worth putting some effort into that? Worth keeping (well, you created it, so you must think that it is)? I'm happy to help; this from March 1928 could make a start: "Miss Raynor began stage work professionally only last February".  Schwede 66  17:44, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note, and contributions to the article.  On the contrary I am most proud of those pages that give people an opportunity to contribute.  There is absolutely no shortage of material on Molly Raynor in the contemporary record, clearly enough to pass GNG.  We should have an article on the Cheer-Oh Girls, of that there is no doubt.  All the best: Rich Farmbrough  (the apparently calm and reasonable) 19:20, 24 February 2020 (UTC).

new drafts
Hi Rich. I made new drafts here. Can you check and published them. The previous drafts were gone i added them too. I removed unreliable sources and added reliable sources to each draft. If there's anything tell me. New drafts

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.43.106.162 (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Emergency (UK television programme)

Nomination of Emergency (UK television programme) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Emergency (UK television programme) 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 Articles for deletion/Emergency (UK television programme) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
