機械人權限撤銷預告/ Notification of pending suspension of bot permissions due to inactivity
根據中文維基百科機械人方針,任何機械人及其操作者如超過兩年沒有活動,就會遭到提請取消機械人權限。所以,如果在1週內兩個帳戶均沒有任何編輯紀錄,則將會撤銷機械人權限。如欲保留機械人權限,請至此告知。如欲恢復機械人權限,歡迎再次申請。最後謹此感謝以往良多貢獻。
According the Bot Policy of Chinese Wikipedia, bot accounts that have had no edits for two years, where the listed operator has also had no edits for two years, will be deauthorized. Prior to deauthorization, the bot will be nominated for review and a one-week notification will be issued. If you wish to have these permissions retained, please post to this page within a week. Re-application of the permissions is needed if you remain inactive for the notice period. Thank you for your past efforts.—J.Wong18:38, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Articles
Dhruv Bhalla and Becky Chambers (author), you reviewed, yet they needed clear changes in both notability-wise and overall but especially notability-wise, because not only is thorough reviewing necessary here, the first article was definitely promotional and we have processes for that. Another one is actually David Shillinglaw which, although sourced, has nothing to satisfy WP:ARTIST. I'd welcome your explanation if you have one or please ask for help if you need it any time.

- @SwisterTwister: Thank you for your message. I though that article reviewing (such as tagging for lack of notability) is the job of Special:NewPages patrollers not Wikiproject taggers. I only ensure that the article is already tagged under at least one suitable Wikiproject and assess the quality of the article. I leave the job of assessing notability and nominating articles to deletion to others. --Meno25 (talk) 10:51, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – July 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2017).
- Happyme22 • Dragons flight
- Zad68
- The RFC discussion regarding WP:OUTING and WMF essay about paid editing and outing (see more at the ArbCom noticeboard archives) is now archived. Milieus #3 and #4 received support; so did concrete proposal #1.
- Fuzzy search will soon be added to Special:Undelete, allowing administrators to search for deleted page titles with results similar to the search query. You can test this by adding
?fuzzy=1
to the URL, as with Special:Undelete?fuzzy=1. Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term. - A new bot will automatically revision delete unused file versions from files in Category:Non-free files with orphaned versions more than 7 days old.
- Fuzzy search will soon be added to Special:Undelete, allowing administrators to search for deleted page titles with results similar to the search query. You can test this by adding
- A newly revamped database report can help identify users who may be eligible to be autopatrolled.
- A potentially compromised account from 2001–2002 attempted to request resysop. Please practice appropriate account security by using a unique password for Wikipedia, and consider enabling two-factor authentication. Currently around 17% of admins have enabled 2FA, up from 16% in February 2017.
- Did you know: On 29 June 2017, there were 1,261 administrators on the English Wikipedia – the exact number of administrators as there were ten years ago on 29 June 2007. Since that time, the English Wikipedia has grown from 1.85 million articles to over 5.43 million.
