Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
Technical news
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.
Arbitration
- Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
- A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.
- The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.
Miscellaneous
- An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
- Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
- You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.
- An RfC is open to discuss whether to make Vector 2022 the default skin on desktop.
- Tech tip: You can do a fuzzy search of all deleted page titles at Special:Undelete.

My recent changes to Solid State Batteries[edit]
I was wondering how the additions I made were any different than the inputs that were already there? SOLIDSTATEBATTERIES (talk) 04:25, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for asking. You used some very non-neutral language, such as:
- "a leading operator", "best in class safety and reliability"
- You cite a PR website; this source is not WP:RELIABLE. This kind of content isn't allowed on Wikipedia, as it reads much too like an advertisement. If you want to include such information, you need better sources that impart real information reliably, and it needs to be done in a neutral tone and manner.

The verbiage was taken directly from the pr which was word for word from their Edgar 8k filing. I figured I needed a dated source SOLIDSTATEBATTERIES (talk) 04:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- The problem is that's advertising, it isn't neutral or reliable. You also cannot copy and paste the text from a source, that violates copyright. You should read WP:RS and WP:PRNEWSWIRE. WhoAteMyButter (📨talk│📝contribs) 04:45, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
