Auckland Museum award

		The Auckland Museum Wiki-Award
		Congrats Gadfium! You've received an Auckland Museum Wiki-Award for creating the article for Okupu, an Auckland locality that did not have a page yet. --Prosperosity (talk) 20:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I enjoyed writing it.-Gadfium (talk) 20:22, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, Wikipedia: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.

Technical news

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.

Arbitration

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.

Miscellaneous

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!

Kia ora, did you know about the WP conference in Christchurch in May?

Kia ora, I'm just checking that you know that there is a Wikipedia conference in Christchurch in May? We have some funding available to assist people from outside Christchurch to attend (by covering their travel costs). Would be great to see you there! Registrations are open here: https://events.humanitix.com/2025-wikicon-aotearoa-chch Or feel free to put any questions on my talk page. Regards, MM MurielMary (talk) 06:16, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am aware of the conference. I regret that I do not expect to attend.-Gadfium (talk) 07:40, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
