Hi Guy. I was fixing a cite error on the article Proton Perdana (second generation), and had to remove a link to "www.wapcar.my" as it was blacklisted. No problem there, but what I found odd was the timing. I checked the blacklist page and you added the site back in September 2019, but the reference was added to the article in October 2021. Am I missing something, it seems that it shouldn't be possible? ActivelyDisinterested (talk) 21:59, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Unfortunately JzG is taking a long wikibreak. The MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist entry (
\bwapcar\.my\b
) was added by JzG on 11 September 2019. Your diff shows an IP adding wapcar.my in a ref on 26 October 2021. However, looking at ref 28 shows the cite error that you intended fixing and it appears that error hid the URL from the blacklist (I don't see the link in the rendered page). Johnuniq (talk) 22:33, 8 November 2021 (UTC)- Yes I understand, that's the insidious nature of that error. Things hide behind it. Thanks for the reply.

Interface administrator changes

- Following consensus at the 2021 RfA review, the autopatrolled user right has been removed from the administrators user group; admins can grant themselves the autopatrolled permission if they wish to remain autopatrolled.
- Additionally, consensus for proposal 6C of the 2021 RfA review has led to the creation of an administrative action review process. The purpose of this process will be to review individual administrator actions and individual actions taken by users holding advanced permissions.
- Following the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Cabayi, Donald Albury, Enterprisey, Izno, Opabinia regalis, Worm That Turned, Wugapodes.
- The functionaries email list (functionaries-en lists.wikimedia.org) will no longer accept incoming emails apart from those sent by list members and WMF staff. Private concerns, apart from those requiring oversight, should be directly sent to the Arbitration Committee.
Happy First Edit Day!
Christine Weston Chandler page ("Chris-chan")
Hi,
I see you are the administrator who salted the page Christine Weston Chandler. While I understand why such a page was salted in the past, it seems that she has (in recent years, at least) risen to a particular level of notability and I am requesting that the page be created.
Here is a small list of high-quality references speaking to her notability:
- KVIA, People articles on the recent incest charges (amongst others)
- Gaming the Dynamics of Online Harassment, by Kevin Veale (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2020)
- Event Horizon: Sexuality, Politics, Online Culture, and the Limits of Capitalism, Bonni Rambatan and Jacob Johanssen, (Zero Books, 2021)
- Vaughn, Victor. "Deposition, Conjecture, and the Word of Nod." (2015).
It makes sense that the page was originally locked because of the widespread harassment campaign, but I do not believe that is applicable these days.

- JzG asked for his administrative priveleges to be removed quite a while ago - at present, he wouldn't be able to respond to your request. You could post at WP:AN, but be advised that multiple versions of articles and drafts about that individual have been deleted and oversighted recently - be careful what you say about them, and what sources you use. Girth Summit (blether) 06:41, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the update. I did not see they had stepped down. --Mychemicalromanceisrealemo (talk) 08:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions topic area changes
In a process that began last year with WP:DS2021, the Arbitration Committee is evaluating Discretionary Sanctions (DS) in order to improve it. A larger package of reforms is slated for sometime this year. From the work done so far, it became clear a number of areas may no longer need DS or that some DS areas may be overly broad.
The topics proposed for revocation are:
- Senkaku islands
- Waldorf education
- Ancient Egyptian race controversy
- Scientology
- Landmark worldwide
The topics proposed for a rewording of what is covered under DS are:
- India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
- Armenia/Azerbaijan
Additionally any Article probation topics not already revoked are proposed for revocation.
Community feedback is invited and welcome at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions. --Barkeep49 (talk) 16:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello JzG! I noticed you've had a long wiki break, but I will leave you a message anyway. Back in April 2020 you added tags on Ponsse's article. Could you please evaluate, if they are still needed? Jjanhone (talk) 16:33, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
