I agree with your move of ] to ] in August, per the reasoning you gave in the edit summary. This was reverted yesterday, and is being discussed on that talk page. In addition, there is a general discussion at ] about the guideline for always adding the state to US city article titles, even when the city name is unique. | |||

I see from your history that you are not only an experienced editor from 2006, but also an administrator. I, for one, would appreciate your input in the USPLACE discussion. In particular, I'd like you to describe your thinking in detail when you made that move in August. I suspect it supports my argument that the inherent conflict in USPLACE with the general ''disambiguate only when necessary'' convention used for most of our titles sets us up for endless disagreement and debate. I suggest we remedy this by bringing USPLACE in line with how other articles are titled, by moving any city currently at <nowiki>]</nowiki> to <nowiki>]</nowiki> for which the plain city name (like ]) is already a redirect to that article. What do you think? Thank you. --] (]) 16:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC) | |||

[REDACTED] Oversight changes
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
