editBefore I make the effort, are you planning on updating the League One and Two finishing positions?
Also, are you working on the step 3 and below ones (I was thinking about starting that). Cheers, Number 57 15:46, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Number 57: Hi. Yeah, I'm about to do Leagues One and Two; just waiting for all the matches to finish. But I've no intention of doing steps 3 and below; you can have that pleasure! Mattythewhite (talk) 16:00, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – May 2026
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2026).
Administrator changes
Interface administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Oversight changes
Guideline and policy news
Technical news
- Changes to user permissions made from Meta are now included in the local user permissions log (T6055).
- The autoconfirmed user group will soon be modified such that the four-day account age requirement begins when an account makes its first edit (T418484).
Arbitration
- The arbitration case SchroCat has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.
- Per a recent motion, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
- Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
- The arbitration case Maghreb has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- The May 2026 administrator elections are scheduled to run from April 29 to May 19. The call for candidates ends May 5.
- The 2026 Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is scheduled to run from April 25 to June 1. Candidacy submissions close on May 10.
- A new noticeboard for non-urgent, batch page protection requests has been created, primarily for the enforcement of contentious topic restrictions.
Stockport County FC vandalism
editI am not very knowledged in football, but it was somewhat clear that temp account's edit was vandalism, though when they reverted my reversion, I did not want to start an edit war, is what they are putting in false? Sailing427alt (talk) 16:32, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, what the editor put in is false. Stockport County's actual name isn't "under Boltons shadow"... Mattythewhite (talk) 17:21, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks Sailing427alt (talk) 17:23, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
it is a reliable source
editWith respect, I haven't changed anything on Shankland's page. As stated, It won't let me because I am a new user. And I would also like to add that it is the most reliable source you can find. It is direct from the official Rangers FC website. Please click the link: https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/rangers-announce-signing-of-lawrence-shankland/3COV8MiuUZ9gqCl3Xt67xu Thank you. StubbornScot (talk) 18:02, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- @StubbornScot: Hi. I did check that page before reverting your edit, and did so on the basis of the following passage: "The Scotland international will become the first addition of the summer, joining from Heart of Midlothian on undisclosed terms once the transfer window opens on 15 June" (my bold). Shankland isn't a Rangers player until that date. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:59, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- I understand that. I apologise. But how does that make the source unreliable StubbornScot (talk) 19:33, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- @StubbornScot: The "without citing a reliable source" part of the message that I left on your talk page is referring to the content you adding not being sourced, i.e. the source present doesn't support the claim that Shankland is a Rangers player *now*.
