Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.

The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hey Ealdgyth. I hope the horses are well. I am considering writing an update to your FAC source reviewing essay. Would you mind if I build off of yours? -- In actu (Guerillero) ^{Parlez Moi} 12:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Have you realised that note [b] already contained ref [2] in it. So, adding [2] beside [b] is unnecessary in my opinion. You didn't describe the reason, so I just wanted to confirm why? EdhyRa (talk) 06:41, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Howdy! I have been looking at getting into more broad-scope historical editing and was looking at the ancient history article as one of the vital history articles that might be the most fun to work up. I know you have worked a fair bit on the article, and were part of the monumental task of getting the Middle Ages up to where it is now.

Since you're a pretty experienced editor in this field, I wanted to pick your brain on how the ancient history article might be brought up to a GA standard. My initial idea was to scrap the regionalizing and in favor of a more general "flow" that's built around general large-scale trends to the maximum extent possible (excepting cases like the Americas and Oceania where it's hard to directly incorporate them into a framework connecting the developments of Eurasia.) I also think it would be useful to talk about the historiography and definition of the periodization, probably bringing up the concepts of the Three Ages, protohistory, and recorded history early on. Of course, this is assuming the current structure isn't something people are particularly married to. Generalissima (talk) 05:34, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2023).

Guideline and policy news

• Following a talk page discussion, the Administrators' accountability policy has been updated to note that while it is considered best practice for administrators to have notifications (pings) enabled, this is not mandatory. Administrators who do not use notifications are now strongly encouraged to indicate this on their user page.

Arbitration

• Following a motion, the Extended Confirmed Restriction has been amended, removing the allowance for non-extended-confirmed editors to post constructive comments on the "Talk:" namespace. Now, non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace solely to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided that their actions are not disruptive.
• The Arbitration Committee has announced a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
• Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 11, 2023 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.
