Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Re recent edits on [[Uinta Basin Rail]]

Thank you so much for your additions to the article, and for help keeping it in good shape. I didn't write it originally, but I pushed it through the GA process years ago. It's been interesting to watch the subsequent developments. (To give you an idea, when I first started work on the article the route alternative hadn't been selected yet, and the route evaluation committee had only recently narrowed down the list to 4 alternatives. It went from 4 to 3 while I was in the GA nomination process). However, I have to ask about this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Uinta_Basin_Rail&diff=1293064349&oldid=1293053173]. Do you really believe the legal battles are over? Sadly the USA is littered with examples of well funded activists killing infrastructure projects using any minuscule law on the books they can find. I can only imagine the infrastructure this country could have if our infrastructure builders didn't have to spend years fighting every project in court. While the railroad builders won this battle, past experience tells me the war isn't over. Dave (talk) 16:18, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you Dave. I had made the edit that there WAS a legal a challenge because the SCOTUS ruling was 8-0. How many rulings have zero dissent! I'm not an attorney but if a group wanted to launch a new challenge they would have to use an entirely new legal argument. And they would have to be well-funded bacause legal fees to take a case that far are not cheap. You may very well end up being right but at least for the foreseeable future the matter appears to be settled. We will soon see. It's a battle between those who support American oil production and those who want a 100% transition to wind and solar sources.Blue Riband► 18:53, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
