 | Scam warning If you are visiting this page because someone claiming to be me contacted you asking for any payment of any type, it is not me and you are being scammed. If they are threatening to delete or take other adverse action against some article, they can't actually do that and you should not under any circumstances pay them any money or further engage with them. See also this scam warning regarding the Articles for Creation process and editors who edit for pay. |
 | As I frequently work at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I am "aware" of all the various areas covered by discretionary sanctions, and this notice may be considered evidence of awareness if enforcement is requested. It is not necessary to leave me notices advising me of such areas. |

Please read before posting
[edit]- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
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!
Feedback request: All RFCs request for comment

Enforcement on PerspicazHistorian
[edit]Hi @Seraphimblade, I respect your comment on Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#PerspicazHistorian. Can we please discuss the issue here.
1) I am a good faith editor whose start on Wikipedia might have been not that good but I am getting better and now editing the space in good faith.
2) The enforcement started as a retaliation as mentioned by me in the discussion here.
3) I have edited on Wikipedia and in the past month, we can not find a single instance where I indulged in vandalism or POV pushes as mentioned in the enforcement.
I request you to kindly give me a chance to work further on the platform.
Note: I am currently undergoing my semester exams in university till 15th jan, might not respond swiftly. I respect your fair-mindedness and have a good faith that you will take side of Justice.
Thank You ! PPicazHist (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- To ensure fairness and that everyone is looking at the same thing, I do not discuss open AE requests outside of AE. Please make any comments at the request, not here. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:47, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hello @Seraphimblade, I respect your decision and will try to get better and contribute through drafts and talk pages.
- Would you please close this move discussion too.
- Thanks. PPicazHist (talk) 07:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- It will be closed in due course, probably not by me though. Seraphimblade Talk to me 09:49, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
These edits aren't in article space, so are they ok?
[edit]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/PerspicazHistorian] and see [1]. Doug Weller talk 10:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Doug Weller, I don't concern myself overmuch with what people put on their userpage, unless it's extremely inflammatory, personal attacks against other editors, etc. I don't, though, like the "pick-a-closer" behavior, and I'll warn for that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 02:02, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Proper use of template
[edit]Would you care to take a look at the discussion unfolding on Talk:Westboro Baptist Church#LGBTQ template in this article? Your input is needed.Davidbena (talk) 23:57, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Davidbena, not sure why you'd ask me in particular. If you've come to an impasse in discussion, you might consider something like the third opinion or request for comment processes. Seraphimblade Talk to me 02:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- I was thinking of you since you are obviously an uninvolved person and an administrator whom I've seen around on Wikipedia, and, yes, I was looking for a person who would know somewhat about the proper use of templates, and, after all, you too are a third person. Feel free to recuse yourself, if you feel that it is beyond your scope. I was unaware of the format of asking for a Third opinion. Now that you've provided me with that, I'll make use of it (WP:3O). Thanks.Davidbena (talk) 04:34, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
