Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by {{noping|Barkeep49}} and {{noping|Usedtobecool}}, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by {{noping|SilkTork}}, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by {{noping|Lee Vilenski}}, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by {{noping|Reaper Eternal}}, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by {{noping|City of Silver}}, {{u|Ritchie333}}, and {{u|HouseBlaster}}, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by {{noping|Novem Lingaue}}, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by {{noping|Kusma}}, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} and {{noping|Soni}}, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by {{noping|SchroCat}}, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by {{noping|theleekycauldron}}, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by {{noping|SportingFlyer}}, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by {{noping|Femke}}, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by {{noping|WereSpielChequers}}, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

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) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this [https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey].

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

hi. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and have a lot of doubts. I thought its okey to copy paste form source and citing every lines is okey. Thanks for the messages with links to guidelines and other links,i will try to be more careful before editing from now. Gracious Kattassery (talk) 06:46, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Gracious Kattassery no problem! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about copyright or about editing in general. — Callitropsis🌲[talk · contribs] 20:06, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey. Back in mid 2023 it seems you created a enwiki page for this fly Mayetiola thujae. I'm concerned that the taxon name might be better as Cupressatia thujae (Hedlin, 1959), after the study below. Sadly the study is paywalled but i have a complete copy if you need to know more on it. Your profile indicates interest in ecology etc, but i suspect the references you cite can be outdated on the taxonomy. The issue stems from a query raised by a user on iNaturalist which seems you might also use - starting at an observation "265996937". Your thoughts welcome how to proceed. I can easily move the page you created to Cupressatia thujae, but i hold off for moment to give you chance for review and opinion.

Gagné, Raymond J. (2013): Four new genera of Nearctic Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) for species previously incorrectly placed. Zootaxa 3701(2): 148-158, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3701.2.2 Sjl197 (talk) 14:08, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Sjl197}} Thanks for reaching out! I created the Mayetiola thujae article almost by accident while reviewing literature as I worked on expanding the Thuja plicata article. I know very little about entomology, and defer to your expertise here. Please feel free to do as you see fit with the Mayetiola thujae. — Callitropsis🌲[talk · contribs] 04:42, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
