Training Request edit
Hey! I am a bit new to Wikipedia editing/articles. I have made 1 edit a year ago but I was wondering if you could train me how to be a Counter-Vandalism specialist. I read that we have to have about 200+ edits but I was really wondering if I could be excused because I just really want to make a change. GamrrOverDue (talk) 21:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well im currently busy with irl stuff if you could make a couple more edits 25-50 so i can tell where you need help •Cyberwolf•talk? 13:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Of course! I am just new and I’d basically like to learn everything in general. I have Twinkle and I am getting RedWarn. I guess I just need help on what is considered vandalism and what to do with the suspect. GamrrOverDue (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Im so sorry. I was just checking to see if you responded and I realized I misunderstood what you meant. Yeah, I will make a few more edits.

Administrators' newsletter – May 2024 edit
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
Guideline and policy news
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
Technical news
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 15,000 articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is open until 9 May 2024. Read the voting page on Meta-Wiki and cast your vote here!
Removing links edit
You removed a whole bunch of links from the page on psychmetric software, thus making the page less useful as a resource. I spent some time verifying those links, removing entries that had no active links and including a description of the software. Your removal makes sure that anyone who is interested had to reduplicate my lengthy online searches.
