Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
 * Following a proposal, the edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.

Technical news
 * Wikimedia projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows the setting of a different default block length for IP editors. Neither is currently used. (T219126)

Arbitration
 * Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 2 December 2018 UTC. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.

Miscellaneous
 * The global consultation on partial and temporary office actions that ended in October received a closing statement from staff concluding, among other things, that the WMF will no longer use partial or temporary Office Action bans... until and unless community consensus that they are of value or Board directive.

 * Dealt with, cheers. stwalkerster (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much for revoking that IP's talk page access. I couldn't handle that anymore, honestly. (What is that considered, though? Vandalism?) You have my thanks. ☶☲Senny☶☲  (☎)  15:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the umbrella "disruptive editing" covers it quite nicely :) stwalkerster (talk) 15:20, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Matthijs Otterloo
Why did you decline speedy deletion? The kid is not really that notable and the administration is insisting on a biased viewpoint of the lad.

Either delete him or allow us to make cited sources to his fraud. MelloNFortnite (talk) 18:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The speedy deletion nomination was under the A7 criterion, which only needs a claim of significance or importance - not notability. If you wish the article to be deleted, I suggest you nominate it for deletion using the Articles for Deletion process, which requires consensus to be formed. The criteria for speedy deletion are deliberately very narrow, and thus article does not meet those narrow definitions.You are welcome to provide more information cited to reliable sources - for the avoidance of doubt, this means published sources which are independent of the subject and have editorial oversight and a reputation for fact-checking. As Otterloo is currently alive, the article must also follow our biographies of living people policy - accusations of criminal behaviour absolutely must be cited to at least one reliable source, preferably two or more. stwalkerster (talk) 19:01, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
