Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
Technical news
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

Recent Blocks
Hi Ancheta Wis. I couldn't help but notice that you blocked User:147.236.228.132, User talk:2607:FEA8:4B67:4E00:8C97:A0F9:35FF:31F1 (after they undid an edit of yours?), User:152.32.99.27, and User:Bon Joe vie all without warning, citing NOTHERE. I then saw that you blocked User:Kent Dominic with a reason of "cooling off time". I'm curious if you can you tell me the answers the following to the questions:
- When is it ever appropriate to block an editor without warning?
- What is the difference between NOTHERE and vandalism?
- When it is ever appropriate to make a "cool down" block? -Fastily 06:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Good questions: NOTHERE means making edits for other-than-improving an article. However, a hasty skip-through (in the sense of a drive-by edit) need not be vandalism. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 06:51, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting. Can you elaborate? And are you going to answer Q1 and Q3? -Fastily 06:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Example for Q1: the IP knows programming, but the name they attempted to add does not show up in the Haskell talk sites.
- Q3:Some users use speedy operations (such as in the deletion discussions) and then reverse course when they learn from my replies. (Loose cannons) --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 07:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding the edits to Mathematics: My citation is H.S. Wall Creative Mathematics "A proof consists of a succession of statements, each of which leads to the next". The substitution of "entails" is indirect, compared to the more direct "consists of". --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 07:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- This is going to sound harsh, but I mean this in the nicest way possible. Please resign adminship at BN. Each one of your responses to my questions is catastrophically wrong and neither represents nor reflects current practices/policies/guidelines. I've reviewed your block history and it looks like you have been making bad blocks for years. I know you've done great work for us in the past, but it's time to hang up the tools. Please do the right thing and resign. If you don't, I'll have no choice but to escalate this to ANI and possibly ArbCom. Thanks, Fastily 08:39, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
