Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
- 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.
- 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
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
- 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!

Regarding boats, bands, and bugs[edit]
First, I appreciate for recognizing your misjudgement in the MfD and reconsidering your stance. I want to reiterate that my addition in Special:Diff/1222204349 was not meant as a dig at any specific editor. I'm not aware of who it is applicable to, and I do not myself interact with WP:Wikiproject Ships, I just pulled it as one of those nerdy and innocuous topic areas and which are relatively insulated to contentious gender politics disputes. In my next edit I changed this to "etymology and highways" as two more such examples. I clicked your contributions to see if you you were the WP Ships affiliated administrator in question. Cue me kicking myself as I see your recent activity on... moths, which makes the entomology bit sound even more targeted and suspicious. Facepalm. Although I can be snide or sarcastic at times, I hope you'll accept me saying that I am neither nosy nor petty enough to attempt to communicate in code like this, and these were honest coincidences.
