Hello Edward,

I hope all is well on your end. I'm reaching out in regards to the following page: Nefew

A few things are missing in the article, also, some of the information provided is not correct and I'd love to have it rectified. Do you think you'll be able to help me? I'm sorry for reaching out out of the blue but I've noticed that you're a contributing author to the article. I'd really appreciate if you could let me know what the easiest way would be for you to undertake the changes. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time.

Lee, using you as a guinea pig to be sure the instructions are clear enough. On Sweetango you are committing to opening an independent GAR (it will be removed from the mass processing list before the bot run, and be processed as a separate GAR after the GAR merge is complete). At the GAR, you may be asked if you have examined all content for source-to-text integrity, too-close-paraphrasing, yada yada ... including from offline sources. As one of the first to weigh in, is that process spelled out clearly enough at the main page? Earwig cannot pick up the sort of things DC did ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:49, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Well, I'm not opening a GAR to keep it's GA status, I am opening a GAR because I'm happy enough to spend a longer period checking for the things you've mentioned. It's an over-burden to suggest that users should either commit to proving an article is at a certain level or let it be delisted. As this article has just one offline source, I will be able to go a bit deeper than a regular GA review (which of course only requires a check on copyvio, and I usually do spot check on sources) and check verifiability on those sources. I think the wording is clear enough to the reader, however, I do think the heading suggests that the reviewer should be less impartial on the GAR. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but tired ... which heading needs improvement and what do you suggest for improvement? I want to get this right before the mass message send to the GA editor list. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:59, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

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

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, the administrator policy now requires that prior written consent be gained from the Arbitration Committee to mark a block as only appealable to the committee.
• Following a community discussion, consensus has been found to impose the extended-confirmed restriction over the topic areas of Armenia and Azerbaijan and Kurds and Kurdistan.

Technical news

• The Vector 2022 skin has become the default for desktop users of the English Wikipedia.

Arbitration

• The arbitration case Armenia-Azerbaijan 3 has been opened and the proposed decision is expected 24 February 2023.
• In December, the contentious topics procedure was adopted which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period. There is a detailed summary of the changes and administrator instructions for the new procedure. The arbitration clerk team are taking suggestions, concerns, and unresolved questions about this new system at their noticeboard.

Miscellaneous

• Voting in the 2023 Steward elections will begin on 05 February 2023, 21:00 (UTC) and end on 26 February 2023, 21:00 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.
• Voting in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey will begin on 10 February 2023 and end on 24 February 2023. You can submit, discuss and revise proposals until 6 February 2023.
• Tech tip: Syntax highlighting is available in both the 2011 and 2017 Wikitext editors. It can help make editing paragraphs with many references or complicated templates easier.

Hi, Lee Vilenski. How are you doing? I'm translating your beautiful article into Spanish and I came across the 'Prize fund' section. I don't really understand what "qualifying groups runner-up" and "qualifying groups third place" stand for. I mean, unless I got it wrong, there were five different rounds and those who managed to stay 'alive' after the last one went on to play against the top 16 seeded players. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Lee, I've been looking at discrepancies in old GA subpages and found Talk:WWE Crown Jewel/GA1. What's odd here is that the talk page parent is a redirect, but the article page is not. Was the review you did actually of WWE in Saudi Arabia? If so I think the GA page should be moved. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:23, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Mike Christie I didn't review THAT article. It's a mess, but I believe it's Crown Jewel (2018) that is where the page move happened. It's possible I reviewed a different event, but I think it's that one. Beyond that, I have no idea why there are two articles for Crown Jewel and also one for Saudi Arabia. I don't do much work with WP:PW anymore and don't follow it, but I think that's probably where this all stems from. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:26, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks; that's helpful. I'll see if I can figure out what happened. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:34, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

NGL, I literally looked at every word in the page and couldn't find it. I must have missed it when scrolling through it haha. Sorry for causing any trouble by removing cited stuff. 🙏 -- CitroenLover (talk) 11:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem. Can happen. I just went Cntrl+F and found it so reverted. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:16, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
