Offensive username
[edit]Hi Robert. I happened to notice your rename of Blitzkriegswunder because I'd just left a message on their talk page. Do you not think the new username ("blitzkrieg miracle") is a WP:DISRUPTNAME? – Joe (talk) 10:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Joe Roe, exactly which type(s) of username indicated in WP:DISRUPTNAME? I am asking because I am more attuned to Asian sensitivities rather than western ones when it comes to WWII related terms. – robertsky (talk) 10:39, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- It is at least plausibly read as describing the Nazi invasions of Poland and Western Europe as "miracles", so "usernames that praise highly contentious people, groups [...], or events". – Joe (talk) 11:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Joe Roe I meant to respond earlier proper but have been putting off due to commitments irl. I didn't read too much into the connection with the locations and events and took the words as face value when processing the rename request. I was considering having a discussion with the editor, and Fram had done so in the meantime. The account has been renamed since. – robertsky (talk) 16:50, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from 12345asdflkj on Darzi (14:46, 4 January 2025)
[edit]This information which I have given is written to find out the place and the Muslim Darji and other Darji, I have given the facts which you can see in the life of India. --12345asdflkj (talk) 14:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @12345asdflkj As stated on your talk page, additions to Wikipedia should be verifiable with a third-party sources rather than personal interpretations. If you have anything to add, please do so with third-party sources and not remove existing sourced information unnecessarily. – robertsky (talk) 03:28, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

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!
