Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Upcoming expiry of your ipblock-exempt right
[edit]Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your WP:IPBE right which gave you the ability to bypass IP address blocks will expire on 14:11, 14 January 2025 (UTC). If your IP is still blocked (which you can test by trying to edit when logged-out), please renew by following the instructions at the IPBE page; otherwise, you do not need to do anything. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
10,000 challenge
[edit]Salut, P199. I appreciate the multiple thank yous. You've been hard at work on Canadian community articles that are contributing to the challenge. Well done.
I am probably done for a while. Getting articles going for all those designated places in NB and ON previously without articles has been a slog.
I have QC remaining in the sweep of Canada. May not get to them until after the next census, but I have a list if you wanted to tackle. I could give you the wikicode for all their census results as well if interested. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 23:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Hwy43: Much appreciated all your tireless efforts in contributing and updating the Canadian communities. Yes, sure, you can send me the data, but it will likely be a slow process (my rate of creating new articles is very low because I like to write a full article that requires more research). Regards, -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- So I was wrong. I wasn't done. I have created the following 41 articles for these designated places in Quebec.

DYK for Missinaibi Lake
[edit]On 13 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Missinaibi Lake, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that there are more than 100 rock paintings of Aboriginal pictographs on a cliff face in Missinaibi Lake? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Missinaibi Lake. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Missinaibi Lake), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
