The {{current}} template is not designed for use on articles that are merely affected by recent events. It is only designed for articles on current events of which there are fast-changing details and edits. ViperSnake151  Talk  20:01, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for notifying me about that. Codyorb (talk) 23:17, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Codyorb, I noticed that you made a series of edits to the Talk:Peter Jalowiczor page that broke the GA nominee template, all while trying to change the status to "on hold", which was odd because you hadn't been involved in the linked GA review and because nothing on the review page itself indicated that the review should be placed on hold (which means that the reviewer is waiting for the issues raised in the review to be done), since at that point the nominator was waiting to hear from the reviewers.

So I took a look, and saw that you'd made these edits right after you finished posting and passing a GA review at

), which should have been noted and dealt with, and there may be more.

Your review of

. It also says that the satellite will be used to monitor environmental activities along Ghana's coastline, which is odd because the satellite was launched over seven months ago and has a lifetime of eighteen months, so "will be" does not adequately reflect the current status—either it is actually being used for that purpose, or the article is out of date because it doesn't know whether it is or not (and if not when in the next eleven months it will start before it goes out of service), and either way is not ready to be a GA until it reflects current reality. There's also a bit of close paraphrasing that should be dealt with.

It would probably be a good idea to reopen the Cenker and GhanaSat nominations, and check them more closely, especially the latter one. You could ask for a second opinion, given the issues I've noted above, to get a more experienced GA reviewer's view. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:54, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset: I apologize for not taking a closer look at the articles when reviewing them (and the older failed GA nomination of Robert J. Cenker) for issues in the article that haven't been fixed yet. I'll put the nominations on hold and I'll see what I can do to help the articles before re-reviewing them. Thank you for notifying me about this issue; I will be more careful in my future GA reviews. Codyorb (talk) 04:36, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Codyorb, thanks for letting me know. Once you've reopened the reviews and taken another look, before you conclude the reviews again,

Hi Codyorb, just let me know when you'd like me to take a look at the articles. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:06, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can get started on it right now. Codyorb (talk) 16:50, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so far I've made several revisions to Ghanasat-1. Codyorb (talk) 04:42, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look this evening if I have time. I'll add some notes with anything I find at the end of your review. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:30, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neither review has been reopened at this point, which would involve reverting the replacement of the GA nominee template with the GA template. It would be odd to post to the review page of a closed and approved review. If you'd like, I'd be happy to do the reversions to reopen the reviews. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:12, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've never done it; are there instructions somewhere on the GAN pages? Yes, please go ahead. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:16, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be happy to do so, but I need Codyorb's go-ahead. Codyorb, is it okay if I reopen the reviews? BlueMoonset (talk) 07:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay. I have thoroughly re-read and edited

Ghanasat-1 and Robert J. Cenker and they are ready for re-review. Codyorb (talk) 17:46, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

Codyorb, Mike Christie, I have reopened the two reviews and posted a new section to each review explaining what is happening. If you have any questions, please let me know.

However, and it's extremely awkward given the new section posted below, the hours-old GA review at

: it does not come close to adequately covering the main sections of the article body. I think it, too, needs to be reopened.

Codyorb, I think at this point it would be a very good idea to get a mentor for you GA reviewing; perhaps Mike Christie would be willing to act as your mentor. I would like to request that before you close out any GA review—before you pass it on the article talk page—that you have your mentor check the review first, and only if they agree that the article fully meets the GA criteria do you then wrap up the review. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:25, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be willing to act as mentor, if Codyorb agrees. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:44, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset: I'm currently working on expanding the lead for Kimberly Anyadike. @Mike Christie: I think it would be a good idea to have a second opinion on my future reviews. Codyorb (talk) 16:05, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK -- if you decide to take on any further reviews, just let me know, and I can take a look at the article and your review and give you some help. My main advice, though, is for you to go through the GA process yourself a few times first. I see you've nominated one article; can I suggest you get two or three more in the GA nominations queue? When you have three or four GAs under your belt you'll understand the criteria from the side of the writer, and I think that'll help you become a better reviewer too.

BlueMoonset, are you also planning to re-open the review for Kimberly Anyadike? I think we can take Codyorb's comments above as consent, and I can do the re-review on that too. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, Mike Christie. I'll take care of it now. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Codyorb -- Thank you for reviewing (and passing!) Kimberly Anyadike for GA status. I put lots of work into upgrading and expanding the article, and I appreciate your taking the time to review it. All the best, Alanna the Brave (talk) 22:44, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator changes

Lourdes†

AngelOfSadness • Bhadani • Chris 73 • Coren • Friday • Midom • Mike V

† Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.

Guideline and policy news

• The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
• Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
• A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
• A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.

Technical news

• CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
• The edit filter has a new feature contains_all that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2018 Steward elections, the following users are our new stewards: -revi, Green Giant, Rxy, There'sNoTime, علاء.

Obituaries

• Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2018).

Administrator changes

331dot • Cordless Larry • ClueBot NG

Gogo Dodo • Pb30 • Sebastiankessel • Seicer • SoLando

Guideline and policy news

• Administrators who have been desysopped due to inactivity are now required to have performed at least one (logged) administrative action in the past 5 years in order to qualify for a resysop without going through a new RfA.
• Editors who have been found to have engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block, for whatever reason, are now automatically considered banned by the community without the need to start a ban discussion.
• The notability guideline for organizations and companies has been substantially rewritten following the closure of this request for comment. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable.
• The six-month autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has been published. A request for comment is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently.

Technical news

• There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee
  WP:ARCA
  .

Miscellaneous

• A discussion has closed which concluded that administrators are not required to enable email, though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice.
• The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the Interaction Timeline. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2018).

Administrator changes

None

Chochopk • Coffee • Gryffindor • Jimp • Knowledge Seeker • Lankiveil • Peridon • Rjd0060

Guideline and policy news

• The ability to create articles directly in mainspace is now indefinitely
  restricted to autoconfirmed users
  .
• A proposal is being discussed which would create a new "event coordinator" right that would allow users to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit.

Technical news

• AbuseFilter has received numerous improvements, including an OOUI overhaul, syntax highlighting, ability to search existing filters, and a few new functions. In particular, the search feature can be used to ensure there aren't existing filters for what you need, and the new equals_to_any function can be used when checking multiple namespaces. One major upcoming change is the ability to see which filters are the slowest. This information is currently only available to those with access to Logstash
  .
• When blocking anonymous users, a cookie will be applied that reloads the block if the user changes their IP. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. This currently only occurs when hard-blocking accounts.
• The block notice shown on mobile will soon be more informative and point users to a help page on how to request an unblock, just as it currently does on desktop.
• There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee is seeking additional clerks to help with the arbitration process.

Obituaries

• Lankiveil (Craig Franklin) passed away in mid-April. Lankiveil joined Wikipedia on 12 August 2004 and became an administrator on 31 August 2008. During his time with the Wikimedia community, Lankiveil served as an oversighter for the English Wikipedia and as president of Wikimedia Australia.

Administrator changes

None

Al Ameer son • AliveFreeHappy • Cenarium • Lupo • MichaelBillington

Guideline and policy news

• Following a successful request for comment, administrators are now able to add and remove editors to the "event coordinator" group. Users in the event coordinator group have the ability to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit. Users will no longer need to be in the "account creator" group if they are in the event coordinator group.
• Following an AN discussion, all pages with content related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed, are now under indefinite general sanctions.

Technical news

• IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in June. This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.
• The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team will build
  the talk page
  .
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups.
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked.

Arbitration

• A recent technical issue with the Arbitration Committee's spam filter inadvertently caused all messages sent to the committee through Wikipedia (i.e. Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee) to be discarded. If you attempted to send an email to the Arbitration Committee via Wikipedia between May 16 and May 31, your message was not received and you are encouraged to resend it. Messages sent outside of these dates or directly to the Arbitration Committee email address were not affected by this issue.

Miscellaneous

Guideline and policy news

• An
  MfD if consensus determines that it is unlikely to ever meet the requirements for mainspace and it otherwise meets one of the reasons for deletion
  outlined in the deletion policy.
• A
  WP:G13
  speedy deletion nomination.

Technical news

• Starting on July 9, the WMF Security team, Trust & Safety, and the broader technical community will be seeking input on an upcoming change that will restrict editing of site-wide JavaScript and CSS to a new technical administrators user group. Bureaucrats and stewards will be able to grant this right per a community-defined process. The intention is to reduce the number of accounts who can edit frontend code to those who actually need to, which in turn lessens the risk of malicious code being added that compromises the security and privacy of everyone who accesses Wikipedia. For more information, please review the FAQ.
• Syntax highlighting has been graduated from a Beta feature on the English Wikipedia. To enable this feature, click the highlighter icon () in your editing toolbar (or under the hamburger menu in the 2017 wikitext editor). This feature can help prevent you from making mistakes when editing complex templates.
• IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in July (previously scheduled for June). This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.

Administrator changes

Sro23

KaisaL • Ymblanter

Guideline and policy news

• After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
• Following a
  WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline
  . This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

Technical news

• The WMF Anti-Harassment Tools team is seeking input on the second set of wireframes for the Special:Block redesign that will introduce partial blocks. The new functionality will allow you to block a user from editing a specific set of pages, pages in a category, a namespace, and for specific actions such as moving pages and uploading files.

Guideline and policy news

• Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.

Technical news

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour.
• Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title.
• Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of
  Functionaries team
  , and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

I peer reviewed Solar eclipse of May 20, 2012. I have a masters degree in physics and took Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri from C Class to GA, so I'm probably the best qualified editor to review your article. I also considered the fact that it had been submitted for peer review before without any takers and that there are administrator newsletters on your talk page, implying you are an experienced editor.

I have an article waiting for Wikipedia:Peer review/List of unanswered reviews#Indiggo. It is about a band of two identical twins born in Romania, who released an album in high school, studied musical theatre in college, received green cards for extraordinary artistic ability shortly after graduation, became American citizens, are currently performing in an Off-Broadway musical and have just released a cast album.

I think that your article needs to discuss how the eclipse of 5/20/2012 fits into related eclipses. I think some idea of how it ranks among other eclipses for duration and accessibility. (You mention how many people saw it.) Vyeh (talk) 11:25, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the peer review! I'll take a look at Indiggo. Codyorb (talk) 22:15, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'd be happy to look at Solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 again or answer questions. Vyeh (talk) 04:58, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned in the peer review, I'll be happy to help you further with FAR. I'm afraid Indiggo is very big. As you read it for the first time, consider what could be eliminated while leaving the article comprehensive. Are there any unanswered questions once you finish? Links to relevant policies, guidelines and MOS are very useful. If a section, sentence or structure is confusing, a note about why you find it confusing is what I need. I've already requested a copy-edit from the Guild of Copy Editors. While your article already passed GAR, my article is still listed as stub-class by three wiki-projects. Please keep me in the loop as you pursue FAR. That will help me. I'm very excited to have contributed to your article! Vyeh (talk) 00:11, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've closed the peer review, and thank you for your help! I have little experience in reviewing articles (I've done just 2 GARs by myself), but I'll give it a try and see if there are any suggestions I can give. Codyorb (talk) 21:00, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Codyorb You're welcome. If there is anything else I can do for your article, let me know. Any suggestions you can give are appreciated. The comment about the cites is well-taken. Perhaps the FAR will ask me to support the quotes, but that is easily done. Drown Soda's article Lana Turner started FAR, but it stalled. The reviewers suggested a peer review to generate momentum. I started a peer review a month and a couple of days after she asked for one. Based on your experience, I suspect I just beat the clock. My point is that FAR is onerous. Any observations you make based on your GARs (I have one GAR) is valuable. Thank you for your help. Vyeh (talk) 15:16, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, the Mediation Committee is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
• A request for comment is in progress to determine whether members of the Bot Approvals Group should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
• A request for comment is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
• A proposal has been made to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to interface administrators in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.

Technical news

• Administrators and bureaucrats can no longer unblock themselves unless they placed the block initially. This change has been implemented globally. See also this ongoing village pump discussion (permalink).
• To complement the aforementioned change, blocked administrators will soon have the ability to block the administrator that placed their block to mitigate the possibility of a compromised administrator account blocking all other active administrators.
• Since deployment of
  Project's talk page. You can request administrator access on the Test Wiki here
  .

Arbitration

• Voting in the
  2018 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 3 December 2018. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page
  .

Miscellaneous

• In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on a website that suffered a data breach. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
• Wikipedia policy
  two-factor authentication. A committed identity
  can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.

Obituaries

• Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (Raymond Arritt) passed away on 14 November 2018. Boris joined Wikipedia as Raymond arritt on 8 May 2006 and was an administrator from 30 July 2007 to 2 June 2008.

• Members of the
  Bot Approvals Group (BAG) are now subject to an activity requirement
  . After two years without any bot-related activity (e.g. operating a bot, posting on a bot-related talk page), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice.

Technical news

• Starting on December 13, the Wikimedia Foundation security team implemented new password policy and requirements. Privileged accounts (administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, interface administrators, bots, edit filter managers/helpers, template editors, et al.) must have a password at least 10 characters in length. All accounts must have a password:

1. At least 8 characters in length
2. Not in the 100,000 most popular passwords (defined by the Password Blacklist library)
3. Different from their username

User accounts not meeting these requirements will be prompted to update their password accordingly. More information is available on MediaWiki.org.

• Blocked administrators may now block the administrator that blocked them. This was done to mitigate the possibility that a compromised administrator account would block all other active administrators, complementing the removal of the ability to unblock oneself outside of self-imposed blocks. A request for comment is currently in progress to determine whether the blocking policy should be updated regarding this change.
• {{
  RevDel
  checkboxes already filled in.

Arbitration

• Following the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: AGK, Courcelles, GorillaWarfare, Joe Roe, Mkdw, SilkTork.

Miscellaneous

• Accounts continue to be compromised on a regular basis. Evidence shows this is entirely due to the accounts having the same password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately.
• Around 22% of admins have enabled
  doing so. Regardless of whether you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure
  and unique to Wikimedia.

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
