Question about WWE roster[edit]
Hello, Lee. How are you? I hoper you're fine. Sorry to disturb you. Looks like we have a few "problem" with the WWE roster and Jacob Fatu. Maybe you can give us your 2 cents. It's an issue we have time to time. Reliable sources report a wrestler signing with WWE, but people remove it since WWE didn't comfirm the contact, which I think is a conflict between a non independent company and independent sources.

- Hi! Have you got a link to the discussion so I can take a look? Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I found the discussion. Best to have discussion in one location. Quick reminder that Edit Warring goes both ways. Even if the info is sourced, WP:BRD should be the way to solve it. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:32, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey[edit]
Just a quick note to say hello. Lovely to see how you've made Wikipedia your own place! If you have any article reviews for WikiCup or similar, let me know, I have a bit of spare time, not masses, but more than happy to get stuck in with the people I trust. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 22:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Great to see you about. My time has been limited, so my dirge of content you've seen in the past just isn't there. I do have an FAC 2023 World Snooker Championship if you do get a little bit of a chance.
- I'm just in the cup for fun this year, I don't have the inclination to go after it! I hope you are enjoying life. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

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!
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is open until 9 May 2024. Read the voting page on Meta-Wiki and cast your vote here!

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
- Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
