Guideline and policy news

Following consensus at the 2021 RfA review, the autopatrolled user right has been removed from the administrators user group; admins can grant themselves the autopatrolled permission if they wish to remain autopatrolled.

Additionally, consensus for proposal 6C of the 2021 RfA review has led to the creation of an administrative action review process. The purpose of this process will be to review individual administrator actions and individual actions taken by users holding advanced permissions.

Arbitration

Following the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Cabayi, Donald Albury, Enterprisey, Izno, Opabinia regalis, Worm That Turned, Wugapodes.

Miscellaneous

The functionaries email list (functionaries-enlists.wikimedia.org) will no longer accept incoming emails apart from those sent by list members and WMF staff. Private concerns, apart from those requiring oversight, should be directly sent to the Arbitration Committee.

Hello, WhoAteMyButter,

You listed a lot of valid reasons why this article should be deleted but you didn't communicate them to the article creator, User:BourbonBarrelKY. In fact, they haven't received a talk page message since November 2021.

Another editor was technically the page creator but I didn't see a message on their talk page either. If Twinkle or whatever editing tools you use do not post notifications for you when you tag a page for deletion, you should take the time to write out an explanation yourself to communicate the article or draft problems to the article creator so they understand why the page they created will likely be deleted. This takes time but it's important. Sometimes, it's a matter of checking to make sure your Twinkle Preferences are set up correctly. But I hope you can post these necessary notifications in the future, it's an important step in the deletion process. Thank you for your work on Wikipedia. Liz ^{Read!

Because of some moving wackiness, the page mover was identified as the creator of the page. Since they weren't the actual page creator, I undid the notification; I forgot to copy and paste it onto the actual creator's talk page. My apologies.

My First Wikipedia submission

Greetings,

My first every Wikipedia page submission was flagged or sent back for more citation. The challenge I have is that much of the subject's biography is not previously reported by any news source, so it is difficult to cite a different source.

Appreciate any advice you have time to offer.

Thank you, Gerrick Brenner gerrickbrenner@gmail.com

PS: are these the tildas? GerrickBrenner (talk) 15:12, 18 January 2022 (UTC). :)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for reaching out to me.

Unfortunately, there's quite a few serious problems with what you're trying to do.

First, you must read WP:COI. You have a conflict of interest as you seem to be in close contact with Savanna Click, Nathan's wife. This creates a conflict of interest, and is a problem. If you are being paid, you need to read and comply with WP:PAID and WP:UPE. This means disclosing your COI (if it exists in that case).

Second, you need sourcing. Considering that the article is about a →living person←, the criteria for notability are even tighter, and the bar for reliable sourcing is higher. Essentially, you need to have a lot of independent, third-party (not family, not self, and reliable citations that can back up statements made in the article.

I advise you read over these links, in no particular order: WP:YFA WP:COI WP:NOTADVERT WP:N WP:V WP:RS WP:NPOLITICIAN WP:GNG; they will accurately tell you what to do and what not to do better than I can fit in less than half my talk page in paragraphs.

Correcting information about our company on wikipedia

I'm confused, how are we to correct information in wikipedia about our company? Everything about the history we updated was cited and referenced publicly available sources from major media outlets. We have had several people engage us and use wikipedia as a reference to incorrectly infer or make claims about our company. How are we supposed to correct this infomration? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MoreCommerce (talk • contribs) 15:59, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
