Welcome to the 42nd edition of my talk page. Please leave me a message below and I will generally reply on your talk page. Although my email address is enabled, I do not check often (so I may be slow in replying to email and very much prefer to have conversations here). I am not around much, so it may take me a while to reply or respond to requests. Please note that while I will do a peer review on just about any article if asked, it will often take me a week or more, and I do not have the time to do copyedits. If you want me to review an article, please open a peer review on it first. Thanks for stopping by and happy editing! Ruhrfisch><>°° 21:25, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I still can't quite figure out what happened with all of your recent moves of archived user talk pages but between yesterday and today I have deleted 88 pages of broken redirects for some nonexistent user account, User:Archive 41, that led to or from your archived talk pages. Since you are an admin, you could have deleted them yourself or at least tagged them for deletion. Check my deletion log for archived user talk page under your username or the Archive 41 username. You moved the same pages 3 or 4 times, I think you should have known by not leaving a redirect in the final move that all of those pages created in earlier, incorrect moves would be turned into broken redirects. User pages that are broken redirects are not handled by a bot but must be deleted by an admin.
I guess I'm just saying, please do not do this again! Thanks. LizRead!Talk! 02:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
I just read a review you performed at Talk:Avery Coonley School#FAC suggestions ("Ruhrfisch comments") almost 10 years ago and wish I would have seen it a long time ago. I do a lot of maintenance on lower class articles to work them in a direction that may allow a better class assessment. I do a lot of work in the appendices sections and noted your comments "Usually Notes are separated from References by a (sub)header of some sort". While we have many ways to present an article I have noted some have started using full sections for those related to "References". A "Bibliography" section or sub-section has been used within the "References" section instead of "Works cited" or "References cited" and I have been making changes per MOS:NOTES. It is a small change but with valid reasoning that is largely unopposed.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading your detailed suggestions and will dissect some of it for future use. Thanks, Otr500 (talk) 07:07, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.
Technical news
Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: ((uw-pblock)).
When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [1]
Arbitration
Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.
I logged onto wikiepdia today for the first time in a few weeks and was happy to see this article as the featured article. Congratulations. Gerry D (talk) 03:00, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much - I'm pretty sure you're the one who found the photo on the Main Page (from Nicholas T on Flickr) plus help with reviewing it back in the day. Hope you're doing well in this weird time. Ruhrfisch><>°° 04:03, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.
Technical news
Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.
Hi Ruhrfish: Good to see you back! I always know, when I see a covered bridge article on the main page, that it's going to be one of yours. ;) MeegsC (talk) 21:39, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for help ASAP on scientific topic to help with coronavirus
I've got what I think is highly helpful information I want to add to an article, but need someone who understands Wikipedia, science, prudent safety consideration, & how to collaborate. And willing to search through data & such for the next while. And having OneNote 2010 would really help! I've collected a lot of linked information!
I’m feeling the urgency to get the info out. Need help & it looked like you might have relevant experience! I'll keep looking for others, too. I’m super-green at Wikipedia, so please forgive if I’m using wrong channels to contact!
Please let me know as soon as you can!! Thanks! Field In (talk) 10:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wanted to update that I've posted additions on the Chlorine Dioxide and Sodium Chlorite pages, helped by advice you gave. (Thanks!) If you have any addiitional suggestions, please let me know :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Field In (talk • contribs) 16:41, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold a Arbcom RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. A draft RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC (Draft) and not open to comments from the community yet. Interested editors can comment on the RfC itself on its talk page.
Miscellaneous
The WMF has begun a pilot report of the pages most visited through various social media platforms to help with anti-vandalism and anti-disinformation efforts. The report is updated daily and will be available through the end of May.
Hello, Ruhrfisch. Please check your email; you've got mail! It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the ((You've got mail)) or ((ygm)) template.
The Wikimedia Foundation announced that they will develop a universal code of conduct for all WMF projects. There is an open local discussion regarding the same.
Arbitration
A motion was passed to enact a 500/30 restriction on articles related to the history of Jews and antisemitism in Poland during World War II (1933–45), including the Holocaust in Poland. Article talk pages where disruption occurs may also be managed with the stated restriction.
Sorry for your loss and thanks for your kind words. - Ruhrfisch><>°° 13:51, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
2nd Featured Article -- ten years later
Hi Ruhrfisch. We met about ten years ago on the Sentence spacing article—my first try at a Featured Article. I hope this message finds you well.
I just (re)nominated for FA an article on a 35-year-old play-by-mail (PBM) game called Hyborian War (still active!) for my second try at a Featured Article—about ten years after Sentence spacing. I took a fascination to the PBM genre last year. I pulled the article's first nomination—mostly because a reviewer asked for more context on the broader play-by-mail genre and setting. When ready, one of the FAC mentors gave it a thorough peer review before I renominated. However, other than an image review I'm a bit concerned it may sit unreviewed to the end because it's a pretty niche topic. If you review FA candidates, and you have time in the next week or two, I would welcome a review. Thanks for your time. Airborne84 (talk) 03:50, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to take a look at it and make some comments, but I have to look at / clean up an article first, before it is on the Main Page as TFA in a few days. - Ruhrfisch><>°° 16:33, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That would be just fine. Greatly appreciated! Airborne84 (talk) 20:36, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ruhrfisch. If you have time, would greatly appreciate your review on this. It's kind of a niche topic, but Gog the Mild who's on hand at nomination is kind of an SME on the topic and so even if you're only OK with just reviewing the prose or other limited review, I'll take what I can get at this point. Thanks for your time. Airborne84 (talk) 05:19, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am looking at the article now. Sorry for the delay, - Ruhrfisch><>°° 19:05, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Really appreciate the hard look at the Hyborian War nomination. The article is certainly improved as a result, and I greatly appreciate the additional review! Airborne84 (talk) 02:28, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You are very welcome, the pleasure was mine - it was fun to get involved in FAC again and I really enjoyed reading and reviewing the article and learning about PBM. Please don't wait 10 years for your next FA ;-) - Ruhrfisch><>°° 02:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.
Hello, Ruhrfisch! It's still not quite in my mind FA quality, but with your invaluable comments from peer review, I have made many of your suggested changes (view my response at peer review for the changes I did not make). Please have another look at Manganese, Minnesota. Best Regards, DrGregMN (talk) 02:02, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sysops will once again be able to view the deleted history of JS/CSS pages; this was restricted to interface administrators when that group was introduced.
Twinkle's block module now includes the ability to note the specific case when applying a discretionary sanctions block and/or template.
Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2020 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM)) to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:16, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Voting for proposals in the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey, which determines what software the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Tech team will work on next year, will take place from 8 December through 21 December. In particular, there are sections regarding administrators and anti-harassment.
By motion, standard discretionary sanctions have been temporarily authorizedfor all pages relating to the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes). The effectiveness of the discretionary sanctions can be evaluated on the request by any editor after March 1, 2021 (or sooner if for a good reason).
A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
Thanks Gerda, I do miss Brian, but am thankful for the many fine articles he left us. - Ruhrfisch><>°° 16:32, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, and I'm happy that we can show them now more than once. Which one would you suggest to present next? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:49, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. Since one of his music article's is TFA now, perhaps a polar exploration-related article, like the one on Ernest Shackleton (I did not check to see when it was last TFA) - Ruhrfisch><>°° 17:01, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I looked into Kathleen Ferrier - remembering how furious Brian was when she was scheduled with 45 minutes notice, on her centenary, imagine.

Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.
Technical news
When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)
The user group oversight will be renamed to suppress. This is for technical reasons. You can comment at T112147 if you have objections.
Arbitration
The community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure was closed, and an initial draft based on feedback from the now closed consultation is expected to be released in early June to early July for community review.
Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.
Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.
Technical news
IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.
Arbitration
The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.
Hello, Ruhrfisch! I believe I have this article sourced as best as possible; I have asked Jonesey95 for a copy edit prior to FAC submission. I think it's ready. Thanks for all your help back in Peer Review! DrGregMN (talk) 20:51, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An RfC is open to add a delay of one week from nomination to deletion for G13 speedy deletions.
Technical news
Last week all wikis were very slow or not accessible for 30 minutes. This was due to server lag caused by regenerating dynamic lists on the Russian Wikinews after a large bulk import. (T287380)
During a research for an article in the English WP I accidentally found your username 'Ruhrfisch'.
I simply couldn't ignore that strange sounding word, because I have a deep personal relation to the Ruhrgebiet – but what is a 'Ruhrfisch'? I couldn't believe your explanation, but of course you are right, and now I know what a 'Ruhrfisch' is ;)!
Meant as a little friendly gesture you get the RÜHRFISCH with the necessary Umlaut directly from my keyboard :).

Hi Daniel, thanks for your note and always nice to hear from others. Glad to hear my German name explanation makes sense to a native speaker (my German is good, but definitely not error free). I've visited the Ruhrgebiet often in my trips to Germany - I've always wanted to ride the Schwebebahn in Wuppertal, but haven't gotten to do so yet. Take care, - Ruhrfisch><>°° 12:04, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A discussion is open to decide when, if ever, should discord logs be eligible for removal when posted onwiki (including whether to oversight them)
A RfC on the next steps after the trial of pending changes on TFAs has resulted in a 30 day trial of automatic semi protection for TFAs.
Technical news
The Score extension has been re-enabled on public wikis. It has been updated, but has been placed in safe mode to address unresolved security issues. Further information on the security issues can be found on the mediawiki page.
Arbitration
A request for comment is in progress to provide an opportunity to amend the structure, rules, and procedures of the Arbitration Committee election and resolve any issues not covered by existing rules. Comments and new proposals are welcome.
Following an RfC, extended confirmed protection may be used preemptively on certain high-risk templates.
Following a discussion at the Village Pump, there is consensus to treat discord logs the same as IRC logs. This means that discord logs will be oversighted if posted onwiki.
A motion has standardised the 500/30 (extended confirmed) restrictions placed by the Arbitration Committee. The standardised restriction is now listed in the Arbitration Committee's procedures.
Following the closure of the Iranian politics case, standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed.
The Arbitration Committee encourages uninvolved administrators to use the discretionary sanctions procedure in topic areas where it is authorised to facilitate consensus in RfCs. This includes, but is not limited to, enforcing sectioned comments, word/diff limits and moratoriums on a particular topic from being brought in an RfC for up to a year.
Miscellaneous
Editors have approved expanding the trial of Growth Features from 2% of new accounts to 25%, and the share of newcomers getting mentorship from 2% to 5%. Experienced editors are invited to add themselves to the mentor list.
The community consultation phase of the 2021 CheckUser and Oversight appointments process is open for editors to provide comments and ask questions to candidates.
Phase 2 of the 2021 RfA review has commenced which will discuss potential solutions to address the 8 issues found in Phase 1. Proposed solutions that achieve consensus will be implemented and you may propose solutions till 07 November 2021.
You are one of four editors who greatly encouraged me in my early months here and provided heart-warming support both before and during my RfA, which I looked at today for the first time in several years. I don't know if you realize how important that was and is to me. I am very glad, both on my own account and for the good of the encyclopedia as a whole, that you are still around. – Athaenara ✉ 20:57, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unregistered editors using the mobile website are now able to receive notices to indicate they have talk page messages. The notice looks similar to what is already present on desktop, and will be displayed on when viewing any page except mainspace and when editing any page. (T284642)
The limit on the number of emails a user can send per day has been made global instead of per-wiki to help prevent abuse. (T293866)
The already authorized standard discretionary sanctions for all pages relating to the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes), broadly construed, have been made permanent.
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

Nomination for deletion of Template:CF/February 2015 peer reviews
Following consensus at the 2021 RfA review, the autopatrolled user right has been removed from the administrators user group; admins can grant themselves the autopatrolled permission if they wish to remain autopatrolled.
The functionaries email list (functionaries-enlists.wikimedia.org) will no longer accept incoming emails apart from those sent by list members and WMF staff. Private concerns, apart from those requiring oversight, should be directly sent to the Arbitration Committee.
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
The user group oversight will be renamed suppress in around 3 weeks. This will not affect the name shown to users and is simply a change in the technical name of the user group. The change is being made for technical reasons. You can comment in Phabricator if you have objections.
The Reply Tool feature, which is a part of Discussion Tools, will be opt-out for everyone logged in or logged out starting 7 February 2022. Editors wishing to comment on this can do so in the relevant Village Pump discussion.
Nomination of Central Mountains Shared Use Trails System for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Central Mountains Shared Use Trails System is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Central Mountains Shared Use Trails System until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
A RfC is open to discuss prohibiting draftification of articles over 90 days old.
Technical news
The deployment of the reply tool as an opt-out feature, as announced in last month's newsletter, has been delayed to 7 March. Feedback and comments are being welcomed at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project. (T296645)
Access to Special:RevisionDelete has been expanded to include users who have the deletelogentry and deletedhistory rights. This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928)
When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period
Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

FAR for Larrys Creek
I have nominated Larrys Creek for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog FarmTalk 15:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
Arbitration
Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
