Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2023 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor you should be able to advance to at least the second round, improving your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will move on to round 2. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Sturmvogel 66 ( talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs · email). Good luck! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 14:17, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Not only does it not look like we won't have an actual result with the vote, but we are also basing a huge change off of the thoughts of 25 people. How many people at DYK are aware of the discussion? What is wrong with a community-wide discussion or at least mass-bot notifications to all regular participants at DYK? The voting discussion said that it "should be resolved quickly and informally". That is not acceptable for such a huge change. SL93 ( talk) 21:40, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

NoSnowFlakes1, a user you previously blocked, is still making vulgar personal attacks on their talk page. Doesn't that warrant a revocation of their talk page access? $chnauzer 15:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
I didn't realize there was an issue at DYK until the WiR discussion brought my attention to this discussion. I have no excuses and plenty of time, so I'd be more than happy to help if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction. - Aoidh ( talk) 15:22, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
Regarding this edit: I dunno; it seems to me that everyone (including me) has agreed that a former administrator who has not met the threshold for minimum activity shouldn't be encouraged to unconditionally request administrative privileges to be restored right away. The disagreements seem to be in the wording. I agreed that the original post from Tony didn't, in my opinion, sufficiently emphasize the need to re-engage in editing. I largely think we don't need to lay out pointers to former admins, but I appreciate that it's friendly to do so. isaacl ( talk) 21:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's contentious topics procedure revision process.
In December, the Arbitration Committee adopted the contentious topics procedure, which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period.
The drafting arbitrators warmly thank all those who have worked to implement the new procedure during this implementation period and beyond. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

if you're a progressive, why are you supporting those who are "pushing back" against the liberal media?
do u mean it in the sense that the media is not liberal ENOUGH for a true progressive?
pivot to trump-bashing 2 lines later is muy confusing after having just said that you're against the liberal media. LIKE HIM!

Hello Valereee,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
I appreciate your efforts on working on the multiple requests for comments regarding creating and deleting articles in large numbers. I know it has been a daunting task with much uncertainty regarding the existence of any consensus on the matter. Best wishes for your continued contributions! isaacl ( talk) 18:19, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I'm new (like brand new, don't even have an account yet) and I'd like to get some more info before making a huge fuss about another user's conduct. Could you check out the convo here [ [1]] and let me know if any of the conduct you're seeing is rising to the level of needing to be addressed more directly or in other channels, including my own? I'm being accused of a few things and I'm second guessing myself. 2600:4040:7A15:9F00:9443:EEC9:18ED:218C ( talk) 21:43, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to pick on you a little since you're technically "involved" with your comment at the requested move now, so it wouldn't come across as admin shopping, etc., just asking for advice from you here. You saw a bit of what us regulars at the article talk page have been getting burnt out from with the sniping/poisoning the well attitude you commented on in the above section on OuroCat. It seemed like too under the radar for ANI at the time, but now it's just a mess, and I personally wouldn't be going there now just because it'd look like I'm trying to "win" a content dispute. We were mostly trying to ignore the behavior to avoid the appearance of biting a newcomer, but despite warnings when we could only contact them on the article talk as a dynamic IP, they kept ignoring WP:TPNO about not attacking editors and focusing on content.
With the move, they continued demonizing regulars in the RM itself with things like I want to be part of a community that calls out and corrects individuals that use their credentials and status as a cudgel against others.
, and that seemed to encourage a good bunch of supports to start attacking those who had been trying to deal with OuroCat like
here or especially No Such User going after me for posting main detailed comment and commenting on two support !votes and threatening to get me banned for that.. I'm stuck responding to No Such User on the article talk on their repeated piles of bullshit
[2] comment trying to at least somewhat counteract the poisoning the well stuff again. Then you have OuroCat effectively trolling that thread with comments
like this in response to that when we couldn't really do much without them having a usertalk earlier as an IP. Quite a bit of badgering too considering I said I wasn't commenting more in that diff and where they weren't involved. That or a sort of
sealioning by OuroCat where they aren't entirely familiar with
WP:ENGVAR, and they accuse me instead of personal attack for saying I was worried they were confusing British English as something that only applied narrowly the UK despite previous conversations.
[3] Just petty stuff.
The RM battleground/potshots really comes across as ganging up on one of the few people who was actively working in-depth on content in the article and trying to run them off. That especially comes in with comments by OuroCat wanting to make my !vote less prominent so opposes showed more or earlier criticism about me being an ag. scientist, etc. as an odd chilling effect. I never thought I'd see this much battleground mentality in a crop article, but I'm worried about just how much editors are fine disrupting the talk page on the behavior side while ignoring sources or content we already have addressing it on the content side. Maybe this is just a word slurry at this point, but I'm basically out of bandwith with the hounding going on from mostly OuroCat and No Such User, so any advice while I'm away awhile on how to protect the article from this kind of battleground stuff is appreciated.
