Administrators' newsletter – February 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2020).

  Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
  • The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

  Technical news

  • Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
  • When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [1]

  Arbitration

  • Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Thank you

Thanks for reverting the edit by dark warrior Blake on Batman: Arkham Asylum. Those edits were mine, and I know they were unsourced, but I have played the game for 2 years straight with a 100% completion. Thanks for supporting those edits. Heroe Of Time (talk) 07:14, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Heroe Of Time, I was mistaken to do so. Wikipedia requires reliable sources, and you are not one. moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 13:42, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Nah, it’s fine. You are right. Heroe Of Time (talk) 15:56, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

here everything is different from wikipedia italia, you could orient yourself with the templates for example how a user is embroidered--Dany1000 (talk) 19:13, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

"Barry Sussman" : Requesting speedy deletion (CSD G12)

This seems to be overkill. This has been here since 20:33, 28 March 2005‎. I have removed a lot of the PR BS. The article about "Barry Sussman" is important. My edits rewrite what seems to have been verbatim. Nevertheless, the photo is the same.

"This criterion applies only in unequivocal cases, where there is no free-content material on the page worth saving and no later edits requiring attribution"

The criterion does not apply.

T3g5JZ50GLq, Alrighty, you can remove the CSD —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 19:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Perhaps someone close to Barry Sussman added most of the content, see commons:User:Scoopskin and File:Barrywiki.jpg. This photo may have copyright issues. That image is :

Perhaps barry@thewatergatestory.com could explain the content situation and who possibly copied who.
Would you ask barry@thewatergatestory.com ?
I would like for you to remove the CSD.

T3g5JZ50GLq, I have removed the CSD. I will email them in about 2hr
It appears they may be using Wikipedia content, and it is not the other way around. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 20:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
