Guideline and policy news
 * A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
 * A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
 * Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

Arbitration
 * The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
 * Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee:, , , , , , , , , ,.

Miscellaneous
 * This issue marks three full years of the Admin newsletter. Thanks for reading!

Sorry
Mistook as the creating editor. Also the claim of significance is actually ripped from Dev Anand, which the user tried to post and copy. GPL93 (talk) 21:00, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * No worries, I figured that was what had happened - I was about to leave you a message but you've beaten me to that too! I suspect the BLP Prod will stick anyway. CSD is just too narrowly construed in some cases :) stwalkerster (talk) 21:02, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * He already removed it. I'm going to XfD it as it looks like he's trying to reconstruct it as a vanity page. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm unclear as to which issue you are referring. From a (very) brief look, there's parts of it which sound promotional and opinionated ("talented", "many more", etc). There's significant parts which aren't referenced, and some of the references you've used aren't reliable sources (for example Instagram). stwalkerster (talk) 00:10, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
