There are so many mistakes. That is not updated it at all. Please, correct it and update it as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance. ~2026-21788-00 ↗ (talk) 17:26, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

:Be bold ↗ and feel free to update the page yourself. It is not protected, so can do it, which is much easier than just writing in the article that it's outdated. If you don't want to edit the article, you can post your concerns on the talk page ↗. ''Lightly''Seared (talk) 17:35, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to April 14 ↗ that did not include a direct source.

Days of the year articles ↗ require direct sources are required for all new additions. For details see the edit notice on that page ↗, the content guideline ↗ and/or the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide ↗.

All new additions to the DOY pages without references are now being either reverted on-sight or in some cases where the patroller is especially motivated, immediately sourced. I've gone ahead and backed this edit out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, it's not required but it sure would be helpful if you didn't accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages ↗ is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you and please keep up your good work! Toddst1 <small>(talk)</small> 18:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

:Ah. One learns something new everyday. I'll keep it mind for the future, sorry. ''Lightly''Seared (talk) 19:04, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
::All good. Lots of rules around here. Your heart is in the right place! Toddst1 <small>(talk)</small> 21:10, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

May 2026 Administrator Election – Call for Candidates

<div style="border: 5px solid #ABCDEF; padding: 0.5em 1em 0 1em;" role="article">
right|80px ↗
The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at '''Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates ↗'''.

Here is the schedule:

April 29 – May 5: Call for candidates

May 8–12: Discussion phase

May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

The requirements to run are identical to RFA ↗—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed ↗.

Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful ↗ and unsuccessful ↗ RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates ↗, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing ↗.

The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.

The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is '''no official difference''' between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.

Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors ↗.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page ↗. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

May 2026 Administrator Elections – Discussion Phase

May 2026 Administrator Elections – Voting Phase

<div style="border: 5px solid #ABCDEF; padding: 0.5em 1em 0 1em;" role="article">
right|80px ↗
The voting phase of the May 2026 administrator elections has started and will continue until {{Administrator elections status/data|May 2026|end}} at {{Administrator election time|end}} UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at '''Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Voting phase ↗'''.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

{{Administrator elections/Header/daterange|May 2026|begin|end}}: SecurePoll voting phase ('''we are here''')

Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote ↗ has a week to use the SecurePoll ↗ software to vote, which uses a secret ballot ↗. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements ↗ are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page ↗ (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page ↗. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall ↗ candidates must achieve 55.0% support ↗. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ↗ ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page ↗. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.
