RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
- Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Gulliver's Travels locations[edit]
I have restored the stand-alone articles for Laputa and Balnibarbi, undoing your WP:BOLD WP:Blank and redirect edits. My reasoning is that since WP:Articles for deletion/Brobdingnag (2nd nomination) resulted in "keep" back in 2022, there is precedent to keep stand-alone articles (such as Brobdingnag) on locations in Gulliver's Travels, so the articles should at minimum be discussed at WP:AfD first. I have, on the other hand, not restored the Glumdalclitch article. TompaDompa (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
DYK for John Wilson (Arkansas politician)[edit]
On 13 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Wilson (Arkansas politician), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Wilson was expelled from the Arkansas House of Representatives for killing another representative in a knife fight, but was then re-elected two years later? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Wilson (Arkansas politician). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, John Wilson (Arkansas politician)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

My signature[edit]
I can explain why: I noticed that my signature was taking up a lot of bytes on the page. Thus I manually added a linkless signature so that the WT:V5 pages would remain smaller, since they were already very large. I had no idea that it was breaking the reply function. starship.paint (RUN) 13:53, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Question regarding a potential V5 article[edit]
Since Stardew Valley seems to be an unpopular choice for indie game representation at V5 and some have commented that there could be more indie game representation at V5 besides the likely-to-be-added Papers, Please, I've been looking for one more game that could possibly make good indie representation. And one that I think could have a chance (despite its fairly young age) is Hotline Miami, since I've managed to find a lot of sourcing to prove it had a long term industry impact (more than is currently present at the articles for games like Undertale).
I feel like it could maybe have a chance at getting added if nominated, since it influenced video games (even non-indie ones) for over a decade. However, I am hesitant to start a discussion since it is one of my favorite games and it could come off as bias, I am the articles primary contributor, there are already two-indie game discussions, and it could possibly be torn apart for only being a game from 2012. I would like to hear what you think. λ NegativeMP1 05:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say that Stardew Valley is an unpopular choice, since nobody has opposed it. I simply made an unpopular choice for a game to swap it with. As for Hotline Miami, I think it has a decent choice. It has enough impact to where I would not oppose it being added. It also helps that it is rated High-Importance by WikiProject Video Games.
