She may react sensitively or with visible frustration in conflicts, or be overall very quiet and not as active as usual and may respond to messages at a slower pace. She will likely return to her regular work on Wikipedia soon, but in the meantime, your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. |

Administrators' newsletter – May 2025

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Cyberwolf (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I have been contemplating making this call for a bit and frankly dont want to be punished further but. My personal situation has improved to probably an 8 from that 3 earlier. I do want to question the validity to this block after I’ve improved myself. I feel this is the nuclear option which in my honest opinion was the wrong decision. How we got here was odd. I’m here to contribute which makes wp:nothere complete bullshit and telling me I’m not here to contribute because I made a mistake which just wasn’t block worthy. Hell none of my recent actions in the past were blockworthy (yeah yeah you all threatened me with a block over uhm an issue in which I wasn’t told what’s wrong. Then slandered by admins(I’m not dragging this here but just putting it up there that this actually happened)) a warning with this issue would have sufficed and I would have g7ed them all. I want to make small edits as I’ve seen many in which I can’t fix or even point out frankly I just want to put this mistake behind me and move on with editing (and scripting) that’s not detrimental to the wiki. Thanks for your time, Cyber •Cyberwolf•. talk? 16:11, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Please review NOTTHEM and the rest of the guide to appealing blocks before making another request. I especially would like you to think about the creation of Wikipedia:Wikipedia is woke, go insane and other related pages and respond to why it was disruptive to the encyclopedia. What will you do in the future to make sure that behavior does not reemerge? Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:56, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

- I will also add since i think it’s needed. I will never return to AN/i. Or AN for even the most egregious harassment as that harassment is not as bad as the experience a couple weeks ago and the immense pain it put me through. I understand you don’t like me I can tell. The Mfd(s) was saddening for me. I realize this place is not a safe place not because of vandals but how assuming good faith isn’t a standard
I want to continue editing I wont talk much I wont do much that risks a permanent block •Cyberwolf•. talk? 17:29, 7 May 2025 (UTC)- Have you ever used any accounts other than this one? -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:33, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
I declined your unblock request. I strongly suggest that you take the summer to think about how you got to your current predicament and how you will make sure that the behavior that got you here does not happen again. There is a road back to the community for you, but it will take some maturing to get there. Rushing into unblock requests guns-a-blazing will only make that path more difficult. As a word of advice, it might be worth thinking about how you will work to improve the encyclopedia. --Guerillero Parlez Moi 19:07, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- All roads are closed I’m done I’m sorry for all I’ve done I can’t vanish as i want to. I wanted to get unblocked so i can make a couple edits and just vanish as my reputation is completely gone and no one will ever take me seriously again or forgive me im good as dead. •Cyberwolf•. talk? 19:34, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Cyberwolf, I did this for safety reasons, not punishment. Please make any future appeals via UTRS. -- asilvering (talk) 19:42, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
