Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, the administrator policy now requires that prior written consent be gained from the Arbitration Committee to mark a block as only appealable to the committee.
- Following a community discussion, consensus has been found to impose the extended-confirmed restriction over the topic areas of Armenia and Azerbaijan and Kurds and Kurdistan.
Technical news
- The Vector 2022 skin has become the default for desktop users of the English Wikipedia.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Armenia-Azerbaijan 3 has been opened and the proposed decision is expected 24 February 2023.
- In December, the contentious topics procedure was adopted which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period. There is a detailed summary of the changes and administrator instructions for the new procedure. The arbitration clerk team are taking suggestions, concerns, and unresolved questions about this new system at their noticeboard.
Miscellaneous
- Voting in the 2023 Steward elections will begin on 05 February 2023, 21:00 (UTC) and end on 26 February 2023, 21:00 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
- Voting in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey will begin on 10 February 2023 and end on 24 February 2023. You can submit, discuss and revise proposals until 6 February 2023.
- Tech tip: Syntax highlighting is available in both the 2011 and 2017 Wikitext editors. It can help make editing paragraphs with many references or complicated templates easier.
NPP note
Just wanted to thank you for leaving me kind words about Assemblée primaire.
I often work in obscure and foreign-language topics and have in the past (somewhat distant now) had some discouraging exchanges with NPP about the notability of people with funny names who only happen to have created their country's first-ever film (for example). I had heard that changes had since been made.
Thanks for reaching out with encouragement; it helped to dispel that trauma a bit ;) Elinruby (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

List of Bahamian musicians
why didn't you click on the link before removing it if you dont fact check that's just stupid PineappleBeauty (talk) 06:43, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- you removed the link to the website of a Bahamian Musician Sweet Emily williams that's a mistake PineappleBeauty (talk) 06:43, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello PineappleBeauty! I think this is about List of Bahamian musicians. You are adding a link to the site about a musician. I am taking a second look at my reversion and I think my reversion is correct. The site you are adding have conflict of interest with the musician you are adding. Secondly, the musician you are adding, Sweet Emily, is not notable enough for inclusion to Wikipedia. I have to admit that I might be too quick in reverting and I apologize, but my reversion is correct. Thank you very much and have a great day!
- And please don't call other editors as stupid. That may cross the line of "attacking other editors". ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 06:54, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Julian Sands is dead
Although no body has been found he’s believed to be to be dead, the news won’t release such news but he’s buried beneath an avalanche. Trust me they’ll pull him out if and when they can workout his location by sheer luck 2A02:C7F:4C7C:5200:CAE:A837:1F59:A0FE (talk) 15:21, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello 2A02:C7F:4C7C:5200:CAE:A837:1F59:A0FE! That might be true, but information on Wikipedia must be able to be verified. Unverified information must be removed per WP:V.

Hello brother can you provide the information where Eritrea won, as I have heard Yemen won and gained control of it.
