Hey Mlaffs, you might want to keep an eye out on the user mentioned in this ANI thread. First one I've had to create in over a year. For the record, this isn't me requesting you to post to that ANI thread, just giving you a heads up regarding the user. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:55 on February 3, 2018 (UTC)

Blurpeace • Dana boomer • Deltabeignet • Denelson83 • Grandiose • Salvidrim! • Ymblanter
Guideline and policy news
- An RfC has closed with a consensus that candidates at WP:RFA must disclose whether they have ever edited for pay and that administrators may never use administrative tools as part of any paid editing activity, except when they are acting as a Wikipedian-in-Residence or when the payment is made by the Wikimedia Foundation or an affiliate of the WMF.
- Editors responding to threats of harm can now contact the Wikimedia Foundation's emergency address by using Special:EmailUser/Emergency. If you don't have email enabled on Wikipedia, directly contacting the emergency address using your own email client remains an option.
Technical news
- A tag will now be automatically applied to edits that blank a page, turn a page into a redirect, remove/replace almost all content in a page, undo an edit, or rollback an edit. These edits were previously denoted solely by automatic edit summaries.
Arbitration
- The Arbitration Committee has enacted a change to the discretionary sanctions procedure which requires administrators to add a standardized editnotice when placing page restrictions. Editors cannot be sanctioned for violations of page restrictions if this editnotice was not in place at the time of the violation.
Radio stations what never were
Another AFD on a radio station that got its initial license, but then never verifiably went on the air as an actual live radio station — and in this case, its only verifiably planned or claimed call sign got reassigned to another existing radio station a couple of weeks ago. Could you come weigh in on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CKOO-FM Old so that we don't have to relist the damn thing and can just get the inevitable over with? Thanks.

Could you give the WINC-AM page a once-over when you get a few free moments? I've already updated all of the refs, so they are current and updated the page to current information. I just want to make sure it is current to how things should look. I've been away for a year, I don't know how things should look anymore. Please note, this is a Featured Article. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:04 on February 5, 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:36 on February 5, 2018 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:WJZM logo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:WJZM logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:19, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
I recently put a logo on the article KDEW-FM, and then found there is another article for the same radio station at KDEW. I'm not quite sure how to deal with this situation; I thought maybe you could delete one of the articles. User:Rudy2alan (talk)
- Interestingly, both of the articles were created by the same user. I'll have a look at them tonight, but I think the appropriate thing to do is to merge the article at the wrong call sign into the article with the correct call sign, so that the history isn't lost and in case there's useful content in the one that's not in the other. Afterward, I'd redirect the wrong one to the right one. Mlaffs (talk) 23:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
I put the histmerge template on the page KDEW-FM, which are the correct call letters according the FCC database. User:Rudy2alan (talk)
