Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Archive bot
[edit]Hi TonyTheTiger, hope you're doing well. I saw your question at admin noticeboard, I don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but worth checking out User:InternetArchiveBot. In the interface, if you tick the box "Add archives to all non-dead references (Optional)", then it will add all existing archives to the article, rather than just add archives for dead links, or presumed dead links at least. This is what most editors use it seems, although notably does not actively engage in archiving per say. Hope that helps. CNC (talk) 00:20, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- User:CommunityNotesContributor, I should have gone to the help desk. Thx for the assistance.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:21, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Chicago Open Housing Movement
[edit]Hello. Noticed you mentioned in a 2024 discussion that you had not heard of James Bevel. His initiating and directing the 1966 Chicago Open Housing Movement (lowercased, of course, on Wikipedia) brought him directly into the flow of Chicago history, and then he lived in Chicago for much of his life. The 1966 Chicago Freedom Movement had other leaders who do not as yet have articles (Kale Williams, David Jehnsen), and the movement is usually said to have been unsuccessful when the opposite is true. An interesting part of 20th century Chicago history. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:17, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time.

Things
[edit]Tony, we recently fell out over infobox parameters, but to say I am still 100% behind your drive to get Campbell's Soup Cans back to FAC. It has huge traffic, and also I think you have done very very well here, especially in the last few weeks, its nearing a gripping read, and would be proud to see it eventually pass. I have to admit your "push through at any cost" approach is off-putting, but your article work is often impressive. Ceoil (talk) 11:31, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- User:Ceoil, WP has a vast array of ways to contribute and everyone has their strengths. Campbell's Soup Cans is getting better. Many elements of needed work on it are outside of my expertise. It will take a team effort. I am happy to see your attention to it as I improve it. The article is definitely headed in the right direction.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:21, 26 August 2025 (UTC)
- User:Ceoil, Also not sure if you are following at Wikipedia_talk:Vital_articles#How_important_are_VAs_for_biographical_subject_infoboxes. But there you will find request for art expertise in my latest set of posts.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:34, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

ANI notice
[edit]
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. 217.159.164.134 (talk) 16:25, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
A beer for you!
[edit]

I know that getting involved at ANI can be stressful. I personally think it was a bit of an overreaction by that editor, to say the least, and I wanted to offer a beer metaphorically. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 22:58, 20 September 2025 (UTC) |
- User:GeogSage, hey thanks for the thoughts. I know we interact in a forum that requires opinionated participation. I am sure we are both trying to make things better from our own perspective. Glad to see you bring about a lot of ideas and hope you don't get fed up with VA. This was the wierdest thing to be at ANI for. Usually, when I am called there for my actions I feel like everyone is coming down on me. In this case, the situation was a little bit off base and I haven't felt any heat (fingers crossed). I don't think IPs should have a say at VA, and my actions were from that perspective. I am glad this situation is one that I can review with a beer (even a metaphorical one).-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:24, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
