Administrators' newsletter – June 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2017).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Doug Bell • Dennis Brown • Clpo13 • ONUnicorn
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg ThaddeusB • Yandman • Bjarki S • OldakQuill • Shyam • Jondel • Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC proposing an off-wiki LTA database has been closed. The proposal was broadly supported, with further discussion required regarding what to do with the existing LTA database and defining access requirements. Such a tool/database formed part of the Community health initiative's successful grant proposal.
 * Some clarifications have been made to the community banning and unblocking policies that effectively sync them with current practice. Specifically, the community has reached a consensus that when blocking a user at WP:AN or WP:ANI, it is considered a "community sanction", and administrators cannot unblock unilaterally if the user has not successfully appealed the sanction to the community.
 * An RfC regarding the bot policy has closed with changes to the section describing restrictions on cosmetic changes.

Technical news
 * Users will soon be able to blacklist specific users from sending them notifications.

Miscellaneous
 * Following the 2017 elections, the new members of the Board of Trustees include Raystorm, Pundit and Doc James. They will serve three-year terms.

Rail transport in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts featured list nomination
I'd like to hear your two cents on this: Featured list candidates/Rail transport in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts/archive1, when you have a moment. If enough people say they support this on the page, we'll get another piece of train-related featured content on Wikipedia.  Jackdude 101  ( Talk ) 00:56, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Cool, I'm a bit busy today, but I hope to have some time later tonight to review it more thoroughly. Slambo (Speak) 11:21, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for commenting on the page. If finding the time to do a review for this is a challenge, I believe a simple spot check review would work, too. Reviewing two or three lines here, auditing two or three sources there, etc. If you do find anything that you think should be fixed, I will take care of it promptly.

 * I've had a busy week in my business with shoots every day through tomorrow. Things calm down a little next week again, so I'm hoping to get back to it soon.  Thanks!  Slambo (Speak)  13:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It got promoted today, so you're officially off the hook. Your offer to review is still appreciated.  Jackdude 101  ( Talk ) 11:54, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Disneyland Railroad featured article nomination
Me again. I have a new one for you: Featured article candidates/Disneyland Railroad/archive1. The same spiel I made about the Rail transport in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts featured list nomination applies here. Your input will be very valuable.  Jackdude 101  ( Talk ) 03:12, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
