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.

Personal attacks? KBrose is literally attacking me, You don't know the story so STAY OUT OF IT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.13.180 (talk • contribs) 18:39, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen any personal attacks in the other direction - you're welcome to provide me with the evidence for that and I will review it as well. And no, I don't know the story behind it (nor do I particularly care). From what I can see your behaviour here is below the standard we expect, and looking at it as a third-party I'm seeing a lot of hostility from you. stwalkerster (talk) 18:45, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
