The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration|Wikipedia arbitration process]]. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2020 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2020/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2020|poll}}|voting page]]'''.

== Administrators will no longer be [[WP:AUTOP|autopatrolled]] ==

A [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2021_review/Proposals#Passed:_7D_Remove_autopatrolled_from_default_toolkit|recently closed]] Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove [[WP:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]] from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with [[WP:EFM|Edit Filter Manager]], choose to [[Special:UserRights/{{BASEPAGENAME}}|self-assign]] this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Administrators_will_no_longer_be_autopatrolled|Administrator's Noticeboard]]. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

== New administrator activity requirement ==

{{ivmbox|The administrator policy has been updated with new [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural_removal_for_inactive_administrators|activity requirements]] following a successful [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Request for comment on administrator activity requirements|Request for Comment]].

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
#Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
#Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period 

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==


[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023. 

Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]]. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. <!-- Template:Inactive admin 2 -->—&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89 bot|JJMC89 '''bot''']] 08:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Please help me with...
I'm expanding the article [[Quercus look]]. I'd like to use the "Named References" feature for some information that came from a source I used earlier in the article, but when I've clicked that button in the edit window, the only named source is #1, the source used in the infobox. I don't know how to adjust the other references so they will appear on that dropdown list. [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] | [[User_talk:Joyous%21|Talk]] 00:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
: Before you can select an existing source to be used again as a named reference, you (or some other editor) must give the reference a name. Names should be short and easy to associate with the reference they are used on.
: I hardly ever use the Visual Editor and I don't see a way to add a name to an existing reference using the VE, but whether this failure is simply my mistake or among the many problems with the VE, I don't know.
: So, open up the source editor and locate the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tag for the reference you want to reuse and add a name so it looks like <code><nowiki><ref name=shortname ></nowiki></code> - of course, you can use whatever you think is suitable instead of the name ''shortname''. After that, you can switch back to the VE and it ''should'' allow you to select the newly named ref for use in a different place.

A quick thank you for your merge work on [[Conscious breathing]], and for listing yourself on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Merge]] with an interest in backlog management - music to my ears! I've been working on the backlog there for some years, mostly focussing on old and forgotten proposal, but it can sometimes be a little lonely; so having an (or another) experienced editor looking out at the tail will be very helpful. Just a note that I'm very happy to be disagreed with, and accept that there is often a wide set of reasonable actions!

==[[Timeline of Pakistani history (1947–present)]]==
Hello, Joyous!,

I deleted this page as a broken redirect. And then I noticed it had over 1,000 edits to the page which is unlike most of our redirect pages and it has a full talk page. The edit history says that you merged this article with [[Time of Pakistani history]] but this is a blank page which is why the redirect was broken. Did you merge it with a different article? In that case, the redirect and talk page should be restored and the redirect corrected. Thanks for looking into this. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 06:49, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

:Ugh! Sorry, yes, I mistyped the target name. It was a miserable slog of a merge and I just didn't notice. (month/day dates on the source had to be switched to day/month at the target for every dang entry that was moved over. And the bolding adjusted. And now I'm just whining....) Thanks for catching that, Liz. I should have checked. [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] | [[User_talk:Joyous%21|Talk]] 15:57, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

==[[Manoj Kumar Yadav (politician)]]==
Hey, Joyous!,

Another question! I saw you deleted [[Manoj Kumar Yadav]] and protected the page from being recreated. But I noticed that one version of the article at this page title was moved to this location. I looked at the version of the article that was just deleted and it looks like these two Manoj Kumar Yadavs are from the same general place but belonged to two different political parties. So, it's unclear to me whether or not they are about the same person. Since you closed the most recent AFD and handled this article, I thought I'd ask if you could follow up and see whether this page warrants CSD G4. Thanks for your help! <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 05:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

== Just.... hello! ==

I've seen your name pop up recently, doing very good work.  A little looksee shows me that you became significantly less (save about two months in 2016) about the time I became an active editor. Anyway, just wanted to tell you it's great to see you around and making this place better.

== Unlinking deleted geostubs ==

Thanks for all of your work in closing geography AfDs. I noticed that you've been unlinking deleted stubs from lists like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_places_in_Arizona_%28S%29&curid=4167374&diff=1141828770&oldid=1140159779&diffmode=source this]. In situations where the location fails verification as a "populated place" and turns out to be a ranch, natural feature, etc, would you consider removing the entry entirely instead? I've spent a lot of time cleaning up the Arizona place lists and would appreciate it if closers could help keep them clear of erroneous items. –[[User:Dlthewave|dlthewave]] [[User_talk:Dlthewave|☎]] 03:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

==Undelete or Draftify==

Hey Joyous, I see you deleted a page [[Jayaram Kailas]] in which I participated. The user:Akevsharma was so desperate in the discussion, so I noted him and checked his account in detail. I wanted to make a major thing into your attention. The AFD nominator user:Akevsharma is also a suspected sockpuppet of blocked sockpupper Farzanfa007 link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Farzanfa007 . He is manupulating many discussions. I noted you said my points were not taken into consideration as I am a new user. Additionally you said his movie page was previously deleted. when I checked it was deleted once and that too on the same day and few time before you deleted this page, in that page too user:Akevsharma aka user:Iamfarzan manupulated the discussion and I doubt the IPs voted are from his side. If you still doesnt go with what I said, you may consider it draftified as he is a notable filmmaker, who is a National Film Awards jury member, Kerala Film Critics Association Award winner, and 2 movie director etc. and its possible that the page can have improvements. Hope Justice prevails in wikipedia too [[User:Christopheronthemove|Christopheronthemove]] ([[User talk:Christopheronthemove|talk]]) 05:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Addition : [[User:Akevsharma]] who nominated the page [[Jayaram Kailas]] for deletion has been confirmed as a sockpuppet and has been blocked few days before. So the discussion might be manupulated by him in some form and you can see lot of IP votes in that discussion which says delete, which might be from his side. I request you to undelete the page [[Jayaram Kailas]] as the discussion might be manupulated and this is the case or you may draftify it as I wish to work on the article [[User:Christopheronthemove|Christopheronthemove]] ([[User talk:Christopheronthemove|talk]]) 18:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

::I'm reluctant to reinstate the article even in Draft space right now. [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jehowahyereh|You yourself are suspected]] of acting as a sockpuppet, for one thing. During the deletion discussion, I relied more heavily on the comments of editors who I know are "themselves,", and those editors strongly recommended deletion. At the moment, there are so many accusations of "you're a sockpuppet, no YOU are" that I prefer not to reinstate the article. Feel free to bring up the matter as a [[WP:DRV|deletion review]] if you feel that I closed the discussion improperly.

== Paul the Trombonist ==

I see your close of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Paul_The_Trombonist this AfD] recently. Was wondering if you saw the keep votes were two SPAs and one user with less than 200 edits. [[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 19:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
:I did, and I wavered back and forth with that one. I'm not sure it was the wrong decision, but not sure it was perfect, either.   [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] [[User_talk:Joyous%21|Noise!]] 20:31, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
::Understood. And, not questioning your decision as on its face it looks like a clear keep based on the votes. Was wondering if there is a way to open it back up for more comments. Either way is fine but wanted to ask. --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 16:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
:::Let me check in with someone who regularly closes the more... interesting... discussions to see what they think is the best way to move forward. [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] [[User_talk:Joyous%21|Noise!]] 20:45, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
::::Thanks. Like I said, not a big deal. My main concerns is that there is likely a COI gaining the system and I hate seeing anyone using Wikipedia like that. --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 22:33, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
::::Hi! Thanks for your note @[[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] Commenting here to keep it central. While I don't disagree with your close, I see the point @[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] is making here. With their nom really only  countered by {{ping|Hkkingg}}'s informed !vote, we have a slight delete from Oaktree. My concern with Littlefish's !vote is the sourcing. Are they reliable enough and do they provide proof he meets musical notability? I probably would have relisted this to see if we could get more engaged input, but with school and northern hemisphere summer holidays, we're at a lull in participation. If relisting weren't an option, I'd have closed this as no consensus as there doesn't appear to be one among established editors. That said, I land where CNM does. Not a big deal, just not ideal outcome. Neither discussions nor closes are perfect, and there's no BLP issue that makes this a vital issue to solve. <span style="font-family:Calibri; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#a117f2;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#df00fe;">Mississippi</span>]]</span> 02:08, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::I am the last voter on the page. The 2 Keep voters before me looked suspicious also, but I based my arguments strictly on the subject meeting [[WP:MUSICBIO]]. I have no doubt if it is reopened the community will keep this one as he obviously meets several of the criteria from [[WP:MUSICBIO]]. Some of the supporting citations were Youtube videos, but they obviously showed the subject playing in a popular TV shows and it was not an interview, so it is a valid citation to prove that he was in some TV shows. I assumed an admin would have noticed the suspicious votes and would have discounted them. I think that [[User:Joyous!|Joyous!]] has done a good job here. [[User:Hkkingg|Hkkingg]] ([[User talk:Hkkingg|talk]]) 08:44, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::I don't mean this as a slight but with so few edits I think you may have a misunderstanding of the criteria you cited in your [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FPaul_The_Trombonist&diff=1165611468&oldid=1164735125 keep vote], which is one of the issues. [[WP:NBIO]] is presumed notability, not guaranteed. He would not meet 6 "for playing in Glenn Miller Orchestra" as the criteria says he must be "a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of '''two or more independently notable ensembles'''." Also see footnote 5 of that criteria. For 12, he must be "a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network" which he was not. For 4, he was a member of the ensemble that toured, not the main person of the tour. A drummer for a rock band that tours is not notable based on touring with the band.--[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 17:29, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the input. You are correct in your assessment. Wikipedia is never perfect. And, I likely wouldn't bat an eye but the participation comments have my Spidey sense going so it's less about Joyous!' close than the actual rationale left by keep voters. While my next comment may sound like an [[argument from authority]], I think the vote from Oaktree is more reliable based on their extended participation in AfDs and the statement that there is a lack of coverage (which I agree with based on my AfD recommendation). --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 17:36, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::Note that he was also a member of the [[Aretha Franklin]] band, so that makes it 2 ensembles. In addition he's got these articles here that would also help with notability:
::::::https://www.latfusa.com/article/2017/1/aretha-franklins-sideman-paul-the-trombonist
::::::http://sleepingbagstudios.ca/paul-the-trombonist-journey-to-the-world/

::::::https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/siri-sends-hilarious-text-guys-wife-starts-playing-trombone/
::::::So I didn't solely vote on the criteria of MUSICBIO, but also based on his coverage. [[User:Hkkingg|Hkkingg]] ([[User talk:Hkkingg|talk]]) 17:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::::This actually shows further misunderstanding of the guideline. The Latfusa article says he worked with Franklin, not that he was a member of the ensemble. Many of the cited sources are also unreliable. For instance, see the comment at the top of [https://www.buzzfeed.com/utaiswa/a-new-taste-to-jazz-and-hip-hop-2vnsl this reference]. These are all things that can be argued in the AfD discussion if it is re-opened. --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 17:53, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
:@[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] @[[User:Hkkingg|Hkkingg]] just making sure you saw I relisted the AfD with Joyous' blessing. No further input needed unless you want to, just a heads up. <span style="font-family:Calibri; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#a117f2;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#df00fe;">Mississippi</span>]]</span> 03:05, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
::Thanks for the heads up. With Hkkingg's permission, I would like to move their comments and my response to the discussion. On a side note, I want to reiterate that I am not questioning the close of Joyouse!. I think it was done in good faith so I appreciate the understanding and the communication. --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 04:08, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
:::100%
:::I think we all just want the right "answer", and if a few days help with that - whether it's the keep Joyous landed on or something else - it's worth it. <span style="font-family:Calibri; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#a117f2;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#df00fe;">Mississippi</span>]]</span> 03:30, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
::::What is your thought on the SPAs and votes with only a few hundred edits opining in the discussion? I am concerned that we don't have enough people with an understanding of notability guidelines opining which makes it look like an AfD full of Keep votes without solid logic. --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 19:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::The most recent one at least attempted a source analysis, which was a good sign. I'm assuming there's off wiki canvassing, but not enough to ECP it I don't think <span style="font-family:Calibri; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#a117f2;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#df00fe;">Mississippi</span>]]</span> 19:15, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::Thanks. I would agree about the off wiki canvas. Also not quite enough for SPI I guess. --[[User:CNMall41|CNMall41]] ([[User talk:CNMall41|talk]]) 19:23, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
:::::::Yes, I'm guessing it's meatpuppetry so an SPI won't be particularly helpful. And it's so backlogged, the AfD will end first <span style="font-family:Calibri; font-weight:bold;">[[User:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#a117f2;">Star</span>]] [[User talk:Star Mississippi|<span style="color:#df00fe;">Mississippi</span>]]</span> 19:30, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

== Cody Bowles edit ==

Hello Joyous. Here is a link to support my (taken down) edit on Cody Bowles of the band Crown Lands. Please reinstate my edit with this link to substantiate the claim that he is a pretendian. Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHi3QvWd4hU [[Special:Contributions/71.7.195.233|71.7.195.233]] ([[User talk:71.7.195.233|talk]]) 19:55, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
:Hi, and thanks for your note. I' sorry, I don't see that it's a strong enough source to hang such an accusation on. We have pretty strict standards for controversial claims in the articles for [[WP:BLP|currently living people]]. The video is equivalent to a blog post: there are a few interview clips with some graphics added in. There's no actual PROOF.
