Question from EIJCAJ33 (06:21, 19 November 2024)

Hello, how do I create a citation? --EIJCAJ33 (talk) 06:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

RM closure

Can you clarify what you meant by your closure statement at Talk:Political_appointments_by_Donald_Trump#Requested_move_7_November_2024? There is already a new article that has been created for Trump's 2nd term appointments (Political appointments by Donald Trump in his second term though this title could be adjusted), and his nominations have been slowly trickling in. Natg 19 (talk) 20:05, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

@Natg 19 I'm aware there's the new article, I was considering moving, however I read the consensus as to wait until the appointments have become more than just nominations. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 20:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Although reading back many of those comments were multiple weeks old, so I'm not sure, I'll undo it and relist as it does need some fresh discussion to help figure out what to do. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 20:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the relist! Natg 19 (talk) 20:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

No problem, probably better to get some fresher thoughts because the majority of comments about waiting were a while ago and it would be good to check they still apply. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for following up here :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 20:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Relisting of Talk:Vagina#Requested move 14 November 2024

You relisted this discussion, but I think (admittedly, I was involved) you should have closed it as not moved, since it appears that the nominator attempted to withdraw the nomination:

Okay, I'll try again with a split request.

I was going to close it as such, but did not due to my involvement. JJP_{Mas_ter} (she/they) 02:31, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Ahh, I saw the split request as an alternative proposal as it was inline with the move request, will close now. Thanks :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 11:29, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated.

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 news

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.

Arbitration

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.

Hi Zeeëbèē

How do we make our articles very appealing Amogelang22 (talk) 19:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@Amogelang22 what do you mean by we? Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 08:23, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

I meant how do people make their articles very appealing Amogelang22 (talk) 19:36, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

You mean how do people get articles viewed more? I don't know the way to improve article publicity and even then it seems a bit like WP:SOAPBOX. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 13:29, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from TheCoccomycesGang (02:15, 13 December 2024)

Hi Zippybonzo, I came across an article that was tagged as an orphan, but there was a link to it on a different page that said "See also [page that was tagged as an orphan]".

Is a "see also" link substantial enough for me to remove the orphan tag on this page? From what I read on orphaned articles, it was appropriate to remove it, but I just wanted to double check in case I've misunderstood. Thanks in advance for your help! --TheCoccomycesGang (talk) 02:15, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@TheCoccomycesGang Yep, you can remove it :) Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 06:50, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
