Benedict Carton page

I'm trying to clean up (or better, delete) the page I created for my colleague Benedict Carton. His work title is out of date, and the Isibaya reference is poorly sourced. Zschrag (talk) 18:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Zschrag, I think I may have inadvertently pressed my revert key. Apologies. — Yours, Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:42, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. The rules state that "contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately," and I believe the Isibaya credit falls within that. I would be happy to see the page deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zschrag (talk • contribs) 18:46, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

Hey, Berrely. I'd like to wish you a wonderful First Edit Day on behalf of the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! Megan☺️ Talk to the monster 12:13, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

• A request for comment found consensus that incubation as an alternative to deletion should generally only be recommended when draftification is appropriate, namely 1) if the result of a deletion discussion is to draftify; or 2) if the article is newly created.

Technical news

• The filter log now provides links to view diffs of deleted revisions (phab:T261630).

Arbitration

• The 2020 CheckUser and Oversight appointment process has begun. The community consultation period will take place from September 27th to October 7th.
• Following a request for comment, sitting Committee members may not serve on either the Ombuds Commission or the WMF Case Review Committee. The Arbitration Committee passed a motion implementing those results into their procedures.

RW RfC close

Hiya. I appreciate I'm very late to the party on this but I'm curious about your close at Wikipedia_talk:RedWarn#RfC:_Dealing_with_abuse_of_RedWarn. Do you not feel as though you're WP:INVOLVED given you're part of the development team? I don't necessarily think it's a bad close (it would be hard to close it any other way, I think), but not sure I would have closed it in your position? Not a criticism in the slightest, but would be interested in your thoughts? Best, Darren-M talk 03:35, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

I honestly realised my mistake afterwards (albeit I was hardly involved at all in the development at that point) but I thought it was a waste of time after I closed it to reopen it again. I thought as long as I hadn't voted (which I hadn't), it would be appropriate to close it. If you believe the RfC should be reopened, I urge you to do so, and I apologise for my error. — Yours, Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 09:42, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Berrely, Thanks, that makes sense. I can't see that it could have reasonably been closed another way so I don't think there's any value in reopening it. Best, Darren-M talk 11:52, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
