June 2026 GAN Backlog Drive notice

Hi there! Thanks for signing up for the June 2026 GAN backlog drive ↗! We have noticed that you have made little to no reviews during the drive. We, the coordinators, would appreciate if you'd pick up at least one GAN to review until the end of the month! Thank you. <span style="color:#5E9A4A;font-weight:bold">Vacant</span><span style="color:#A24B4B;font-weight:bold">0</span> <span style="font-size:small">(talk • contribs ↗)</span> 12:23, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

About your edits

I am not aware of any policy, guideline or consensus authorising the removal of unused infobox parameters like this ↗, especially in cases where it is obvious that the parameters will be used in the future. I therefore ask that you stop removing such parameters and restore the parameters you have removed. Also, unless there is a policy or guideline that says to remove the parameters, you appear to be edit warring. James500 (talk) 22:41, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

About your message

I have read the "welcome message" ↗ you placed on my talk page. I have been editing for 18 years and have far more experience on this project than you. You know that I am not a new editor, because we interacted last month. Your message is unwarranted. Frankly, the message looks like a WP:NOTHERE ↗ deliberate attempt to annoy someone else. James500 (talk) 02:15, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

:Please stop using your experience against me, I have learnt a lot very quickly and consistently make edits that the community appreciates, your language is consistently very disrespectful and goes against policy, that being Wikipedia:NOPERSONALATTACKS ↗. Your talk page is confusing because you immediately delete messages instead of archiving them, so I wasn't able to see if you had previously been welcomed. I also now realise that I should have used the belated welcome template ↗ but I usually add welcoming templates very quickly after an edit has been made!
:Is there something I can do better? Qwerty123M (talk) 02:36, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
::You should not put the belated welcome template on the user talk page of an editor who has been here 18 years and has more than 100,000 edits. Such editors do not need to be sent welcome messages at all, and should not be sent such messages. James500 (talk) 02:59, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Wistherdisc

It's about time Wistherdisc is brought to ANI I reckon. They have a history of adding false ↗ information to articles ↗, adding unsourced information, and partisan editing. Steelkamp (talk) 08:40, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

:Including misinformation in an article is a serious problem on Wikipedia, where we are trying to make the best encyclopaedia possible ↗ and Wistherdisc is in contravention of that mission.

Advice on addressing Business NSW maintenance tags

Hi @Qwerty123M - trust you are well.

I'm writing for advice re: the maintenance tags on the Business NSW article. As you may have noticed, I've been working to strengthen the article through the COI process, and appreciate your perspective. I also appreciate your work on the page, and related Aussie topics!

I wanted to understand if the changes I've implemented meet the criteria to have these removed? The tags include: notability, citations, COI/neutral sources. I've included a section on Advocacy (notability) and added reputable 3rd party citations (ABC, AFR etc) to address notability and the overreliance on primary sources.

Any insights will help me know what further research and edits are required.

Thanks in advance, @Hyenacool Hyenacool (talk) 10:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

:I have made the decision to remove all of the maintenance tags on that page because I think notability ↗ criteria has been satisfied due to the extra sources that have been added thanks to your edit requests. There are still some unsourced sentences but this doesn't need to be a maintenance template at the top of the page so I have decided the article can use the existing {{cn|date=June 2026}} tags instead.
:Thanks for your hard work so far in vastly improving the article! Qwerty123M (talk) 10:38, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks @Qwerty123M. I'm working on getting all citations added. Hyenacool (talk) 10:57, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin 2026 Issue 11

<div style="margin-top:10px; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">''Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation since our last issue on June 5. Please help translate ↗.''</div>
----

'''Highlights'''

[[File:Baby Globe in Paris.gif|thumb|150px|The Wikimania program is now live ↗!]]

'''Community Wishlist''': Weigh in on proposals and open questions on how the wishlist will operate in the future. ↗

'''Simplifying account creation:''' The Foundation is working on improving the account creation process ↗ to reduce potential friction for newcomers to create an account. Improvements include making "Create Account" icon more prominent on mobile, simplifying the registration form, and introducing real-time username validation.

'''New U4C members elected:''' The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) has new members ↗ and has two remaining vacancies in Middle East & North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.

'''Wikimania conference program''': The Wikimania 2026 program is now live ↗! Take a moment to review the program, and, if you are logged in, you can mark your "must see” sessions with a star to start building your personal schedule. Register for a virtual ticket ↗ here, if you haven't signed up yet.

'''Neutral Point of View''': A proposal for a baseline NPOV standard ↗ for Wikipedias that do not have one was published, with a community discussion ↗ open until July 15, 2026.

'''Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure ↗'''<br/><small>''See also newsletters: Wikimedia Apps ↗ · Growth ↗ · Product Safety and Integrity ↗ · Readers ↗ · Research ↗ · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia ↗ · Tech News ↗ · Language and Internationalization ↗ · other newsletters on MediaWiki.org ↗''</small>

thumb|250px|Screenshot showing the Explore Feed refresh in the Wikipedia app (from the Community tab entry point) ↗

'''App Explore feed''': The redesigned App Explore feed ↗, now called "Home", has been released to all Android users. The update introduces a refreshed feed experience along with the first set of new content modules, including Did You Know, Places of Interest, Random Article, and a new end-of-feed experience. Additional content and improvements are planned in future releases.

'''Wikipedia games''': The Which came first? ↗ daily trivia game is now available in the beta version of the Wikipedia iOS app in English, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. The game uses historical events from Wikipedia’s “On This Day” content and challenges readers to guess which of two events happened first.

'''Reusing references''': Sub-referencing ↗, a new MediaWiki feature that allows editors to reuse references with different details, has been rolled out to Group 1 wikis ↗ and French Wikipedia following a successful pilot phase.

'''Article guidance''': The Article guidance ↗ feature is being tested with some editors creating new articles on the Simple English, French, and Turkish Wikipedias. The experiment will soon begin on the Arabic and Bangla Wikipedias as well. The outlines guide less experienced editors in creating high-quality articles. A quick guide to markups used in outlines can be found on this page ↗. Example outlines ↗ that can be adapted and instructions for how to adapt them are on this section ↗ of the project page.

'''Mobile Page Previews''': The Page Previews experiment ↗ on mobile web has concluded with the decision not to roll out the feature. The results showed no statistically significant impact on reader retention – the primary success metric. Page Previews, which are already available on desktop and in the apps, display a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and link to the full article when readers tap a blue link.

'''Wikifunctions''': You can now add images ↗ to Abstract Wikipedia and the loading and display of test results when viewing Functions has been improved.

'''Wikidata''': The Foundation is migrating the Wikidata Query Service ↗ (WDQS) away from the Blazegraph backend since it no longer scales efficiently with Wikidata’s growth. The migration will take place in several phases. Here is the timeline ↗.

'''Growth features:''' Growth features are now available at Wikidata ↗!''' ''' Wikidata administrators are still configuring the features through Community Configuration, but this update enables access to Mentorship (if configured ↗), Impact, the Help Panel, and a simplified Newcomer Homepage (without Suggested Edits).

'''Mentors' management''': The Growth team will soon provide a system to automatically suspend or remove inactive mentors from the list of mentors ↗. Communities can already start configuring the process in the Community Configuration.

'''Collaborative''' '''Contributions''': If you need help setting up the Collaborative Contributions and the Goal setting features, check out these video guides ↗. These features allow you to view which edits are made during an event and allows the group to track progress against a goal with a public progress bar. Learn more ↗.

'''Latest experiments''': An upcoming experiment ↗ is testing whether we can serve readers better when a footnote click in read mode shows the full bibliographic information rather than flying them to the reference list. See all live, upcoming, and completed experiments in Product & Technology ↗.

'''Tech News''': The latest highlights from Tech News week 24 ↗ and 25 ↗ include how the user interface icon library ↗ is being updated. ↗ Most of the ~300 icons have been slightly refined and ~30 new icons have been added. See also the 62 community submitted tasks that were resolved over the last two weeks.

'''Annual Goals Progress on Volunteer Support ↗'''<br /><small>''See also blogs: Global Advocacy blog ↗ · Global Advocacy Newsletter ↗ · Policy blog ↗ · WikiLearn News ↗ · The Wikipedia Library ↗ · list of movement events ↗''</small>

'''Digital Safety''': Join a conversation about Using AI Safely. ↗ It'll explore risks & concerns of using AI tools in personal and organisational contexts and practical strategies to reduce those risks. It will take place at 03:30 UTC & 14:30 UTC on June 26. This session is not about using AI to edit Wikipedia. It's focused entirely on safe personal and organisational use.

'''Don't Blink''': Read the latest developments ↗ from around the world about protecting the Wikimedia model, its people and its values. Highlights include exploring the implications that new child safety regulations have on privacy online.

'''Grantmaking strategy & Affiliate model''': Members of the Global Resources Distribution Committee ↗ (GRDC) and the Affiliations Committee (AffCom) ↗ met to advance two key movement initiatives: the development of a new Grantmaking strategy and a refreshed Affiliate Model. They produced initial proposals and advanced work on both initiatives ahead of broader conversations planned for Wikimania 2026.

Gooseworx citation

Just for clarification, is a blog still considered an unreliable source when it is verified to have come from the creator of the show? The Amazing Digital Circus wiki frequently cites Gooseworx's tumblr account when discussing certain aspects of the show's lore, since she's the one who wrote it. Ordinarily I think it makes sense not to cite tumblr but in the case of Gooseworx specifically I was curious if an exception can be made, especially for such an important plot point. ~2026-38877-44 ↗ (talk) 03:49, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

:If you believe this source is important to include, then you should debate the merits of using it on the article's talk page, but in general I would steer clear of using a self-published source per WP:SPS ↗.
