DatBot Discordianism edit
I made a much smaller version of a pic to submit to Wikipedia. But DatBot made it even smaller https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Trigods_gypsie_skripto.png&oldid=1217124753
So I can do this right next time, what's the biggest a non-free image should be? Thanks! Vajzë Blu (talk) 17:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
SPI review edit
It is unfair that Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Rzvas is going to be closed without any action. Even if you let Ratnahastin go, Rzvas vs. Georgethedragonslayer is a clear duck. You could have checked them alone, or at least the latter, who had previously been blocked. Just because they have many edits over the years, it doesn't mean they cannot be socks. It can go unnoticed and check-users know that more than me. There were instances where even an admin was caught for sockpuppetry. Besides, both the SPIs are not equally meritless, that's a false balance. The Doom Patrol (talk) 08:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- If I find similar common edit summaries between you and Rzvas, does that mean you are a sock too? I am positive if I look through your edits I can find exactly the same generic behaviour you describe in your SPI, from the opposite POV. Also, that's not what false balance means.

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!
