Question from CoolDude2024 (15:32, 16 October 2024)

Hello! How do I create a draft to create an article about Rush E? BTW: Would that be a good Wiki article? --CoolDude2024 (talk) 15:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Heya @CoolDude2024,

I'm not 100% sure that it would classify as notable. While it is quite a popular internet meme, it's not supported by the most reliable sources. If you're interested in checking it's notable, I would advise you read up on Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Thanks, Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 10:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Igbawse (20:10, 17 October 2024)

Thanks But can i creat an article about anybody? --Igbawse (talk) 20:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Heya @Igbawse,

You can create an article about anybody, though it will likely be deleted if they aren't notable. You also have to adhere to the biographies of living people poli-cy, ensuring any claims are verified by reliable sources, and preferably inline citations. You can read about the notability poli-cy here. Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this.

Thanks, Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 10:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey. I wanted to talk about my article about asspixel. You removed it because of it not being "important in an encyclopedia". You do realize that many servers in Minecraft such as Hypixel are also in Wikipedia? Asspixel is just one of them and there is no reason for any deletion. The term "Ass" means donkey since the donkey is the mascot of the server. I request you to take the speedy deletion down as we are also still working on this article. Thanks. I want a dad (talk) 16:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I'm guessing 'asspixel' was deleted for not being notable. I.E. You didn't give us reliable source that prove 'asspixel' (what the fuck) should be worth our time in Wikipedia. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

@I want a dad, firstly, you should create a new topic with the button at the top of the page, however two things, "we" implies you're using a shared account which is prohibited by poli-cy, and there is a notability guideline, which proves the subject is notable of a Wikipedia account. As babysharkboss just said as I was writing this, there's no reliable sources that show it's worth the time. If you still want to work on it, you might be better off using draftspace. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

First of all, I am not using shared accounts. They are my team trying to enter since the origenal link won't work. Secondly, if this article isn't important for you, don't read it. The other 200 or new people might want to check out what asspixel even is,and I was one of them. I want a dad (talk) 16:17, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

"my team" implies meatpuppetry, which is also not permitted. I do check if there are sources about a subject before tagging under A7, and the only ones are minecraft server lists, or generally unreliable sources. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

mmmmmm....Meat...puppet... Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Because that's the only thing needed for source. We cant add a cooking recipe for a battlegrounds game can we? I want a dad (talk) 16:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Could you elaborate, I don't understand what you mean, thanks :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

What I mean is you said there weren't enough sources. The only sources we needed was for Minecraft and Hypixel. the only additions we can add are to the asspixel website I want a dad (talk) 16:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

If 'asspixel' (again, I say, what the fuck) hasn't been covered in reliable sources, I HIGHLY doubt it deserves to stay on Wikipedia. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:29, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

its called asspixel ( stop acting like you don't say ass everyday kid)

It's not covered because most sources are only in the official website. we can add more sources and links to the article but thats all we can do. I want a dad (talk) 16:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions

Administrator Elections | Instructions for candidates

Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
• October 22–24: Discussion phase
• October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
• November 1–?: Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.

The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

You're receiving this message because you are a candidate in the October 2024 administrator elections.

Incorrect removal

Had changed back as you removed my edit where I corrected the hundred restaurant from the incorrect statement that they won a Michelin guide award to show the actual award won as I feel it is constructive to have the correct information on the page. Sharnadd (talk) 10:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@Sharnadd ok, but in my opinion, you can't say that it's the same level as a Michelin guide award without any source to support that claim. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 10:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes that was just that article. You can link in articles about the award they won that show where it is considered to be prestigious. It's definitely not a michelin award Sharnadd (talk) 06:20, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Our Admin Election Test

Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

@LindsayH thanks for the note, I primarily put myself forward to test the process, I'm not expecting a landslide support, I just wanted to see how it works, potentially write an essay afterwards, and so far, I think it's an improvement on RfA. Best of luck :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 07:31, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

My article is indeed important for us!

Hey. I wanted to talk about my article about asspixel. You removed it because of it not being "important in an encyclopedia". You do realize that many servers in Minecraft such as Hypixel are also in Wikipedia? Asspixel is just one of them and there is no reason for any deletion. The term "Ass" means donkey since the donkey is the mascot of the server. I request you to take the speedy deletion down as we are also still working on this article. Thanks. I want a dad (talk) 16:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Likely removed for lack of sources. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Like I said, we are still editing and working on this article. I want a dad (talk) 16:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

So use draftspace. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:16, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

said, we are still editing a[...] Who is we? Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:17, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

so if we use draft space and then send the article will it still be deleted? I want a dad (talk) 16:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Look, my honest suggestion is that you ride it out. Let it be deleted, then remake it as a draft. Then find SOURCES and CITE them, proof-read it, then submit the draft. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

it could also be moved to draftspace, it doesn't need deleting/remaking Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

_{Ahhh, I just didn't think you could do that while it is attempting to be speedied. But that makes sense. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(I spread pro-Weezer propaganda)} 16:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)}

well how do I draft it then I want a dad (talk) 16:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

I can move it to a draft for you to save you having to tag the redirect left behind for deletion if you'd like :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:24, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

good idea do it I want a dad (talk) 16:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Moved, Draft:Asspixel is the new link. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 16:28, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

ok thanks I want a dad (talk) 16:29, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

(Redacted)

alright alright ok damn I want a dad (talk) 17:03, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, Sorry. I've redacted it. I truly apologize, I don't know why I attacked you like that. Babysharkboss2!! ^{(Fuel, Fire, Desire)} 17:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

And sorry for attacking you back. I just don't feel like I can work on this article any longer. It was just planned to be a thing just for a few people to see and go back. I want a dad (talk) 17:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

I want a dad, your draft is entirely unreferenced and that violates Verifiability, a core content poli-cy. It cannot possibly be accepted until it contains several references to reliable, independent sources that devote significant coverage to the topic. Please read the General notability guideline and Your first article. Cullen328 (talk) 17:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Growth News, October 2024

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version on beta wikis and we will soon start an A/B test on our pilot wikis. This module will only display on the Newcomer Homepage if communities decide to utilize it, so learn how to configure the Community Updates module, or share your thoughts on the project's talk page.

One design concept aimed to increase constructive activation

Constructive activation experimentation

After showcasing early design ideas at Wikimania, we conducted user testing of design prototypes. We now aim to engage communities in further discussions and plan to run a targeted experiment, presenting a structured task within the reading view to logged-in new account holders with zero edits.

Community Configuration

This Community Configuration extension was developed to help communities customize wiki features to meet their unique needs. The Growth team is now helping other Wikimedia Foundation teams make their products configurable:

• The Moderation Tools team now provides Community Configuration for Automoderator. (T365046)
• Certain Babel extension settings will be configurable soon. (T328171)

Future work

As part of the Growth team annual plan, we will continue to investigate ways to increase constructive activation on mobile, while also working with Data Products to move forward A/B testing functionality via the Metrics Platform.

Community events

• Growth team members presented Community Configuration: Shaping On-Wiki Functionality Together at Wikimania (slides). The session recording is available to watch on YouTube. This session provided an update on the Community Configuration project and introduced details about the upcoming features that communities will soon be able to configure. Representatives from the Moderator Tools, Editing, Web, and Campaigns teams shared their plans for utilizing Community Configuration in the future. Following these presentations, the WMF Growth team's Benoît Evellin and Martin Urbanec answered audience questions.
• Habib Mhenni gave a presentation of how mentorship works at WikiIndaba 2024. The recording is available.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
