Administrators' newsletter – September 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2017). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Nakon • Scott
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Sverdrup • Thespian • Elockid • James086 • Ffirehorse • Celestianpower • Boing! said Zebedee

Guideline and policy news
 * ACTRIAL, a research experiment that restricts article creation to autoconfirmed users, will begin on September 7. It will run for six months. You can learn more about the research specifics at meta:Research:Autoconfirmed article creation trial, while Wikipedia talk:Autoconfirmed article creation trial is probably the best venue for general discussion.
 * Following an RfC, WP:G13 speedy deletion criterion now applies to any page in the draftspace that has not been edited in six months. There is a bot-generated report, updated daily, to help identify potentially qualifying drafts that have not been submitted through articles for creation.

Technical news
 * You will now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device that has logged into your account before, you will be notified after five failed attempts. You can also set in your preferences to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address, which may be encouraged for admins and accounts with sensitive permissions.
 * Syntax highlighting is now available as a beta feature (more info). This may assist administrators and template editors when dealing with intricate syntax of high-risk templates and system messages.
 * In your notification preferences, you can now block specific users from pinging you. This functionality will soon be available for Special:EmailUser as well.

Arbitration
 * Applications for CheckUser and Oversight are being accepted by the Arbitration Committee until September 12. Community discussion of the candidates will begin on September 18.

Deletion of talk pages
You closed: Articles for deletion/Robert Clark Young (2nd nomination)

And I assume carried out the deletion and redirect.

OTRS received a query noting that the associated talk pages were not deleted. (2017090610001038 )

Obviously, when a deletion discussion reaches the the decision that an article should be deleted, it goes without saying that the talk pages are deleted at the same time. I think that should also be the case when the article is deleted and converted into a redirect but on the chance that there is some reason for not deleting the talk pages I wanted to check with you first.

If you agree they should be deleted the relevant pages are here:


 * Talk:Robert Clark Young
 * Talk:Robert Clark Young/Archive 2
 * Talk:Robert_Clark_Young/Archive_1-- S Philbrick (Talk)  17:07, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That's just the AFD closing script, I think. T. Canens (talk) 18:16, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  21:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

"Tom Connan" article
Hi Timotheus! I noticed you had deleted the page "Tom Connan" a couple of years ago and I'd like to create it. But I wanted to reach out first. He's a French singer and writer with a pretty decent and diversified amount of press coverage, especially from French mainstream media -which I'm quite aware of:

Public Sénat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C5YrI28jWY

France Culture https://www.franceculture.fr/emissions/rue-des-ecoles/image-et-reputation-quels-enjeux-pour-lenseignement-superieur

RFI http://www.rfi.fr/emission/20170721-realite-grandes-ecoles

L'Obs http://bibliobs.nouvelobs.com/actualites/20160628.OBS3522/les-ecoles-de-commerce-dispensent-un-savoir-bizarre.html

Also about his music: JamSphere http://jamsphere.com/reviews/tom-connan-beautiful-day-gorgeous-joyous-music-full-life

Electrowow http://www.electrowow.net/2017/02/interview-questions-and-answers-with-tom-connan.html

Publikart https://publikart.net/tom-connan-deja-110-000-vues-de-clip-you-didnt-give-them-a-chance/

I thought it could easily pass the notability criteria now, and I noticed his social accounts were verified (facebook/twitter/instagram).

Can I go on? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnmeyerohio (talk • contribs) 20:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar enough with the subject area to evaluate these sources (not to mention I don't know French at all). Please take this to WP:DRV for more eyes. T. Canens (talk) 18:27, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
