File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp
Thanks for uploading File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

File permission problem with File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp
Thanks for uploading File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Proposed deletion of Fall 2023 Auburn, Alabama Youth Soccer League


The article Fall 2023 Auburn, Alabama Youth Soccer League has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unclear why a season for a local youth league would be a notable subject when the league itself doesn't even have an article and the best sources that may be expected are local bits of routine coverage. Fails our notability guideline."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Repeating a RM
Why are you starting an RM on Talk:Afghanistan national football team 19 hours after the last RM on there closed? The consensus won't have changed in those 19 hours, if you oppose the outcome of the last RM, then WP:Move review is the proper process to challenge it. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * In my close, I mentioned the possibility of another RM on that more narrow set of pages. Evidently many others disagree with that reconsideration as well (to the extent that the new discussion was speedy closed) but I didn't intend my close to preclude it.

Kiribati - 2023 Pacific Games Football
Curious about the source on this one, last I heard they'd held trials but nothing was set in stone, same for the Tuvalu women's national team which we've heard nothing about since. Do very much hope it is true though, just interested to see any confirmation? Ratkiller75 (talk) 20:18, 24 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Alternafoot, reputable French based outlet that focuses on Oceanian region stuff. Drawn into group B with Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. Yoblyblob (talk) 21:32, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ratkiller75 Yoblyblob (talk) 21:32, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Yoblyblob Huh, surprised I missed that, I usually keep track of them. Thank you very much and sorry for bothering you. Bitterly disappointed at the Tuvalu women's team trials evidently not panning out though. Also at poor Kiribati getting no easier teams. Ratkiller75 (talk) 06:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ratkiller75 No problem bothering me, I like talking about this stuff. Kiribati can cross their fingers, but they need a lot of luck. I didn’t know Tuvalu had trials for a women’s team, sad that didn’t work out. Yoblyblob (talk) 12:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Yoblyblob Oh I definitely like talking about it too, but tend to come across as a little manic at times! Kiribati can't do worse then their last appearances of consecutive 17-1 defeats, but I do worry for them. Hopefully there are placement matches, though I've not seen any evidence there are.
 * Tuvalu's women's trials came from their official FB account, which tends to post match results for some of a season and then go quiet. Posts were in Tuvaluan, which thankfully translates from Samoan reasonably, and seemed to get some engagement. But never cheap for them to travel so I'm assuming they didn't get enough interest to justify it. Ratkiller75 (talk) 17:38, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Ratkiller75 bad news… Sad news Yoblyblob (talk) 16:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Yoblyblob Yes, saw this before you let me know (was unable to log in). I know the reason why, but not sure if allowed to share. Very sad news, but still hopeful that we can see them, possibly in the 2024 Nations Cup. Ratkiller75 (talk) 18:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That would be a shock if they did, why can't you share? Are you within the organization? Yoblyblob (talk) 20:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

KylieTastic (talk) 19:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey @KylieTastic. Thanks for letting me know!
 * Most coverage I can find is of individual matches, however they have not yet played many “notable” matches that should be mentioned at the article.
 * Should I simply look for more covering the club’s entry into the league, as this is their first season? Yoblyblob (talk) 21:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). So it's not about “notable” matches but just nobility in general. If it is the first season of a U22 team then it may be they are just not yet notable as many such teams generally don't much notice. Some do so just look for any independent sources that have significant coverage and not just passing mentions. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:


 * Proposal 2, initiated by, provides for the addition of a text box at Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
 * Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by and, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
 * Proposal 5, initiated by, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
 * Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
 * Proposal 7, initiated by, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
 * Proposal 9b, initiated by, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
 * Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by, , and , respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
 * Proposal 13, initiated by, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
 * Proposal 14, initiated by, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
 * Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by and, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
 * Proposal 16e, initiated by, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
 * Proposal 17, initiated by, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
 * Proposal 18, initiated by, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
 * Proposal 24, initiated by, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
 * Proposal 25, initiated by, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
 * Proposal 27, initiated by, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
 * Proposal 28, initiated by, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great.
