Guideline and policy news
 * Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.

Arbitration
 * Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
 * The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
 * Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

WP:ERRORS
Hello! I reverted you on T:ITN. The use of "COP28" was explicitly discussed and not opposed at ITNC, so if you'd like to see that changed please feel free to start a new discussion at WP:ERRORS so I've just started a discussion about it on WP:ERRORS. Ed [talk] [OMT] 20:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I've just reverted back to your original, to let Errors decide. WP:BOLDLEAD is an article guideline to include the article name in bold near the start, not sure why you're using that to justify the removal of the specific 'The' rather than the general article? Stephen 21:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not being clear enough there. I've linked that because none of the examples have "the" bolded, and I've not seen a good reason or consensus for why ITN would differ from all our articles. Ed [talk] [OMT] 21:13, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Because there's a difference between the United Nations Climate Change conference and the United Nations Climate Change Conference that ran this year. The examples wouldn't have "the" bolded because the guideline is about including the article name in bold in the lead of an article. ITN is not an article. Stephen 21:32, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Indeed, ITN is not an article. What I don't understand is why it would choose to differ from our article guidelines. We wouldn't typically bold or link "the" in either circumstance there, especially when the context is clear. Ed [talk] [OMT] 05:15, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

December greetings
Thank you for your ITN work! - Today, I have a special story to tell, of the works of a musician born 300 years ago. - I wish you a good festive season and a peaceful New Year! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:07, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

I try to finish uploading images of 2023 before it ends, and reached 17 December. Happy to see Rebekka Habermas on the Main page, a last minute nomination of yesterday, and Heike Matthiesen, today's last minute. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

2024


Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht

Happy New Year

2024

Like 2019, remember? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:31, 1 January 2024 (UTC) I saw your name on my watchlist: could you please check Chris Karrer, ITNN 2 Jan? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:18, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Literally just did, best wishes Stephen 22:19, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Seen, and liked telepathy or what ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:20, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * On the Main page: the person who made the pictured festival possible --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:44, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not relying on telepathy again: can you please check ITNN 13 Jan Romuald Twardowski? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:42, 19 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you! - Today a friend's birthday, with related music and new vacation pics --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

MP talk
Not banned from MP talk. – Sca (talk)
 * a) It was Errors not MP talk, b) No, you're not banned from there, c) There's no chit chat on Errors, the discussion was regarding British English and your comment was irrelevantly concerning US English. Stephen 22:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

ARBPIA ITN question
Does ARBPIA apply to ITN? i.e., is that IP comment qualified to be considered in determining consensus? Or does "broadly construed" mean non-ECs can't even vote in I-P ITN nominations? I noticed you removed my SPA note but I'm still wondering if as an IP it's still supposed to be struck. JM (talk) 20:05, 14 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, it applies site wide as far as I can tell. Stephen 20:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, mind if I strike that IP comment? JM (talk) 20:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Not at all, delete it. Stephen 20:35, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright, there's an IP who has now made 6 edits to that nomination, including two separate votes, both left unsigned. I've left the notice on their talk page and pointed out their edits but both votes are still up, I've already reverted them and I don't think I'm allowed to do so more than I have. What do to? JM (talk) 23:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I hadn't noticed they'd come back. Votes removed and blocked them. Stephen 00:07, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Undoing my edit to the talk page of ITN
Hey Stephen, I am Harvici, and I see that you reverted my edit on the talk page of ITN.Can you please tell me if I did something wrong? and I think that the G20 should be included in the ITN/R.Thanks Harvici  ( talk ) 12:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

JOBTITLES
Morning, hope you're well.

President of Chile and Prime Minister of Pakistan are proper name job titles, so should be capitalised accordingly. This was raised at WP:ERRORS as it creates a weird inconsistency when we also have President of Ecuador on the same template. I don't see that the former part is relevant, it's still a named job title. Please could you self-revert, as I was responding to a specific point raised at ERRORS and we should present a consistent approach to readers. Cheers &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:54, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Agreed, I’d already reverted. Stephen 10:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:59, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Excuse me
Excuse me, may I ask why you closed my discussion. Please reopen it otherwise I report it. ⚒️ ★MinecraftPlayer★321 ⚒️ Let's Chat! 01:29, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * It was closed because it has zero chance of being approved for ITN on the main page. Stephen 02:49, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but there is a very small chance if you haven't deleted it, and could have been approved in any way. Could you please give me the link to the guidelines for that? That will be appreciated. ⚒️ ★MinecraftPlayer★321 ⚒️ Let's Chat! 02:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Swap pic for variety
Hi Stephen! I appreciate swapping the pic for variety, but can I request instead of swapping one white man for another white man (best actor/best supporting actor), we go with either best actress Emma Stone or best supporting actress Da'Vine Joy Randolph (pics taken from the article)? Thanks for considering it, Levivich (talk) 01:27, 23 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Neither of them were in Oppenheimer, which is the primary subject of the item. Stephen 03:56, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Protection of ITN doc page
Hey Stephen, I noticed there's an edit request to the ITN template doc page. You had protected it two years ago saying that there's No reason for non-admins to edit the ITN template documentation. Given that there has been vandalism in the past, but still a need to edit it, wouldn't it be sensible to lower the protection to be autoconfirmed? SWinxy (talk) 23:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


 * The one edit request in two years has been handled. Stephen 01:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I was here to comment similarly. Perhaps extended confirmed would be sufficient.  In the spirit of openess, I can imagine someone that might be inclined to tweak just wouldn't bother if they had to format an edit request. —Bagumba (talk) 09:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

News: Iranian embassy vs consulate
Hi Stephen, re. your change here, I'd ask you to read the lengthy discussions at Talk:Israeli_bombing_of_the_Iranian_embassy_in_Damascus. In short, there's no consensus to use the term "consulate", in fact there're strong arguments that the premises were not a consulate (not on an official list of consulates, not a separate compound, questions re. sourcing, etc.). Therefore, editors have settled on the term embassy per the majority of sources and since the building appeared part of the Iranian Embassy complex. May I expect you to self-revert? Cheers, — kashmīrī  TALK  09:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * No, you may not expect that. I don’t have time to read all that. The ITN blurb was changed after a discussion at Errors noting that consulate is given in the first sentence of the article. Stephen 12:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

"Fixing" redirect links
Hey Stephen! Sadly I'm not here to sing, but to remind you that you should not "fix" redirect links just for the sake of fixing them, as you did here. History of video gaming and history of video games go to the same article – edits for the sole purpose of changing one to the other are unnecessary. Toadspike  [Talk]  05:25, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Today is a feast day for which Bach composed a chorale cantata in 1724 (and we had a DYK about it in 2012). Can't believe that Jodie Devos had to die, - don't miss her video from the Opéra-Comique at the end, - story to come.

July music
On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have another RD death article that needs reviewing, Martti Wallén. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, the bass and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

I remember today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. The violinist made it to the Main page, but another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

She's on the Main page now. My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:01, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
