OneRoof
[edit]Do you still believe OneRoof to be an RS after the RSN discussion? Traumnovelle (talk) 19:00, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- The discussion ended without any consensus, so the site is not deprecated. Your two examples show that the earliest residential housing dates need to be treated with caution. Mass removal of oneroof as a reference is not appropriate.-Gadfium (talk) 02:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Would you agree to DRN? I still see this as a completely inappropriate source. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Your evidence in the last discussion was entirely about the earliest residential housing date, which I am happy to accept is not reliable. I have removed it from several articles, and will remove it from any others as I update them.-Gadfium (talk) 21:53, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm asking if you'd agree to dispute resolution over this. I don't believe just because no evidence of inaccuracy was found for other information means we should assume it is reliable and accurate. Clearly we disagree here and other attempts at soliciting extra opinions haven't worked. Traumnovelle (talk) 22:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- WP:DRN is for "small content disputes". This is an attempt by you to deprecate a source, which you have tried to do twice at WP:RSN and failed to get a consensus. Even if you and I were to agree at DRN, no other editor would be bound by that, and most of the use of the source has not been by me. DRN is not a valid path. Have you considered Wikipedia:Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass might apply?-Gadfium (talk) 23:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Reversion of recent edits relating to Maori translations
[edit]If you found a source that supports the name why would you not just add it as a citation? Traumnovelle (talk) 01:33, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.

Thank you ...
[edit]...for fixing that mistaken erasure of most of a page. I thought I was doing a simple "undo" of a block evader, but somehow it rubbed out almost everything. In fact, I did it on 2 different pages, with the same result. I thought I knew how to use the "undo". Now I'm not sure. :( ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:31, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- its actually because youre in dire need of CIR 2603:8080:9B04:2256:40F9:B723:B407:2DC0 (talk) 05:36, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Interface administrator changes
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
