Administrator Elections - Voting Phase
The voting phase of the December 2025 administrator elections has started and will continue until Dec 15 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/December 2025/Voting phase.
As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- Dec 9–15 - SecurePoll voting phase
- 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.

Concern regarding Draft:Eugenie Bormann
Hello, Plutus. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Eugenie Bormann, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Question from Marc-André Tarte (06:28, 10 December 2025)
Hello,
My name is Marc-André Tarte. I have an interesting background as a 12 year veteran professional snowboarder turned professional in the world of airbags => www.progressionairbags.com
I would like to publish a page about myself as an athlete and another for my airbag company which supports the development of self esteem in youth!
While I understand that as the mentor you're only supposed to help me provide edits to help Wikipedia. If you help me with this, I'll happily write my own publications and commit to editing various wikipedia publications.
Looking forward to your response. M-A Tarte --Marc-André Tarte (talk) 06:28, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- You can create a draft in your sandbox or in the Draft: namespace. However, I strongly discourage autobiographies as you have a COI (which you need to declare), see Wikipedia:Autobiography for the relevant information. Make sure it is supported by Wikipedia:Secondary sources. Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 08:11, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. My shred career (1998–2010) was before social media, so there’s not much coverage about me. Someone has offered to write a Wikipedia profile, which I’d like to share. I’ve read the Wikipedia:Autobiography guidelines and understand the risks. I’m aiming for a neutral, factual page and trust the community to shape it.
- Following up on your advice, where can I find the Sandbox or Draft sections to start working on the article? I appreciate your recommendation and will keep it in mind. Marc-André Tarte (talk) 18:10, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure
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
- Wishathon: 15 patches were written and 5 merged, as part of a Wishathon for the Community Wishlist. One wish from the community was completed ("Preview page with this template" should not work with pages that do not transclude the template), and three more now have a clearer path forward.
- Activity Tab on Mobile App: The Wikipedia iOS app is running an experiment that replaces the History tab with a redesigned Activity tab. This new tab surfaces personalized insights about reading, editing, and donations — all stored locally on your device for privacy. The goal is to see whether the new experience increases engagement and retention among logged-in readers.
- Wikipedia Year in Review in Apps: The Wikipedia Year in Review 2025 is now available for the iOS and Android apps. This year introduces new personalized insights, updated reading highlights, and refreshed designs.
- Add a Link: A feature that suggests links to be added to articles based on a prediction model, Add a link, has been deployed at Japanese, Urdu and Chinese Wikipedias. While this feature has already been available on most Wikipedias, the prediction model could not support certain languages. A new model has now been developed to handle these languages, and it will be gradually rolled out to other Wikipedias over time.
- Abstract Wikipedia: The second round of voting on the name of Abstract Wikipedia concluded with Abstract Wikipedia as the top-voted name with 100 votes, followed by Wikigenerator with 91 votes. The name for the wiki project will now remain Abstract Wikipedia.
- Anti-vandalism tool: Automoderator, now has the option to choose between two machine learning models to power the software on wikis using the tool.
- Tools to support newcomers: Newcomers failing to add a citation to support added content has been one of the most common mistakes on Wikipedia. Reference Check, a tool that prompts them to add a citation before publishing an edit, has gone live for an A/B test on English Wikipedia.
- Tech News: Latest updates from Tech News week 48 and week 49 include the Foundation working on improving the text and presentation of the Verification Email sent to new users to make them more welcoming, useful, and informative; and two new wikis being created: a Wikipedia in Toki Pona and a Wikiquote in Nigerian Pidgin.
- Infrastructure: Unifying our mobile and desktop domains achieved 20% faster mobile response times, improved SEO, and reduced infrastructure load.

Question from Benrolls (10:22, 11 December 2025)
hi, i'm very new to wikipedia as a page editor. i'm not sure if you can see what ive edited, but i'm finding it difficult to meet the standards. --Benrolls (talk) 10:22, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I am able to see all the edits you did via Special:Contributions/Benrolls. It seems like you are working on a draft. Based on the comments left by the AFC reviewers, it seem you draft could use more WP:secondary sources to establish notability (also see: WP:Referencing for beginners and read WP:ORG). I suggest looking through the comments left by the editors also. After that, you can ask me again for more feedback, but don’t submit the draft yet as it may be rejected.

The Speedy Deletion of The Bill Fairclough Article & Related Mentions of Bill Fairclough that were purged
Hi Pluto - We had given up with Wikipedia for all the reasons I mentioned in the past User talk:SapientiaLudens. However, since all references to Bill Fairclough on Wikipedia were purged for all the wrong reasons as already explained to you in October 2025, an unexpected legal deposition has been made without equivocation by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in which they have de facto independently validated all the statements about Bill Fairclough's past career both as a notable businessman and as a spy.
It is now evident that on 14 October 2025 PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC, formerly his employer Coopers & Lybrand) attested all that and more besides (as detailed below and in his memoirs reproduced in the link blow) in a formal legal deposition (GDPR SAR 25.84) affirming that he was a "Career Spy". See https://archive.org/details/pricewaterhouse-coopers-gdpr-sar-25.84-response-bill-fairclough.
Bearing in mind PwC are the second largest global auditing/accounting organisation in the world this statement represents unassailable legal evidence of Bill Fairclough's past covert and overt careers as summarised below. The question is What should we do to get the article and other mentions restored? We spent ages trying to do this before and are not that keen to do it all again if only to be rejected again for spurious reasons and in bad faith. I look forward to hearing from you. SapentiaLudens
BRIEF SUMMARY OF BILL FAIRCLOUGH'S PAST
Bill Fairclough is a British author, former intelligence agent and Chartered Accountant whose career combined senior roles in international finance with long term covert intelligence work during and after the Cold War.[1] Alongside an overt professional career that included senior positions at Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers), Citicorp, Barclays Group and Reuters Group, he worked from the early 1970s as an intelligence agent for MI6 and other intelligence agencies, undertaking investigative and infiltration assignments related to organised crime, corruption and financial crime across numerous countries.[1]
In 2014, Fairclough publicly disclosed and substantiated his intelligence service history; this was independently attested on 14 October 2025 by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in a formal legal deposition responding to GDPR Subject Access Request 25.84, which explicitly affirmed that he was a “Career Spy”.[1]
He is the author of The Burlington Files, a series of autobiographical espionage books beginning with Beyond Enkription.[2] Fairclough has also appeared in broadcast interviews and media commentary on intelligence and geopolitics, including interviews on RTVE, Spain’s national public broadcaster.[3]

SapientiaLudens (talk) 12:37, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the update. While the PwC document may be legally valid, Wikipedia requires claims about living people to be supported mainly by independent, reliable secondary sources, not primary documents, employer statements, memoirs, or self-published material. As a result, the PwC SAR response on its own is not enough to restore the article or disputed content. Any reconsideration would need to be based on substantial, independent coverage from reputable media and follow the normal Wikipedia processes, which is Wikipedia:Deletion review Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 00:32, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Eugenie Bormann

Hello, Plutus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Eugenie Bormann".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 18:37, 10 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from Bobartdiva18 (14:08, 27 December 2025)
Hello! I came across a recent Wikipedia entry for a beloved friend and mentor who passed away in 2013. This was a famous theatre actor/director. I was concerned to see that while some of the entry was factually correct, some of it was not. As a retired English professor with many publications to his credit, it is important to me to correct the errors in this entry. Any assistance or direction would be much appreciated! Gratefully, Howard Kerner --Bobartdiva18 (talk) 14:08, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you for your helpful response! I will be working to correct the factual errors in the piece about Arthur Storch, actor & theatre director. Bobartdiva18 (talk) 01:01, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Bobartdiva18 What would you like to change in the article? Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 03:02, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hello and belated Happy New Year! In order to accomplish the necessary revisions to correct inaccuracies in the recent article on Arthur Storch, would it be OK to start at the beginning of the article with "This and that are accurate and these sentences are not" and then to re-write and offer you corrected sentences for the wrong ones? I'll start off right now & will do a little bit of correcting in case you tell me to do it another way: Arthur Storch (DOB-DOD) was an American actor, theatre director and educator....(all of this is fine until "Syracuse Model" of actor training. Here are corrected versions of the next segment: "His Broadway career spanned four decades beginning first as an actor alongside Ben Gazzara, in the acclaimed 1953 Actors Studio dramatization of Calder Willingham's controversial 1947 novel, End as a Man followed by acting alongside Richard Kiley in the 1956 Korean war drama, Time Limit and that same year starring with Shelley Winters in N. Richard Nash's Girls of Summer Although he began his directing career off Broadway, his first on-Broadway directoral effort was the comedy The Owl and the Pussycat which launched the careers of Alan Alda and Diana Sands. His next 2 Broadway hits were The Impossible Years (1965) starring comedian Alan King and the musical Golden Rainbow (1967) starring singers Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. Certainly his most celebrated directing on Broadway came in 1978 with Jack Lemmon starring in Bernard Slade's Tribute.
- Plautus (one of my favorite playwrites!) I'll pause here to see if what I am doing is OK. Thank you for looking this over and getting in touch! Howard Kerner (by the way, 3 of the 4 plays mentioned in the present article had nothing to do with Arthur Storch!) Bobartdiva18 (talk) 02:11, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hello, and belated Happy New Year. Thank you for reaching out.Yes, that approach is fine, you can state it like that here. Please go through the article from the beginning, note which statements are accurate and which are not, and provide corrected wording for the inaccurate parts. The issue you noted with the “Syracuse Model” appears valid.Feel free to continue posting corrections section by section, and please include sources where possible. Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 04:08, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for your most encouraging reply to my first submission of corrections to the article on Arthur Storch. Here is the next installment.
- Early Life 1st paragrpah OK, second paragraph "In the late 1940's, after his military service, he studied theatre under Erwin Piscator at the New School for Social Research in New York, earning his Bachelor's degree in 1949. Under famous teacher/director Lee Strasberg, he was accepted into the new Actors Studio in 1952 where he trained in Method Acting alongside Marlon Brando, Julie Harris, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward and became a lifetime Studio member.
- Career
- Early stage acting Career 1950's
- After beginning his acting career in summer stock in 1951, Storch played both off and on Broadway in The Actor's Studio production of End as a Man, directed by Jack Garfein in 1953. The next year Storch acted with Oscar winner Fay Bainter in Put Them All Together and then in 1955 he starred alongside Oscar winner Eva Marie Saint in a summer stock production of N. Richard Nash's The Rainmaker. In 1957, Storch originated the role of Luke Gant in the Broadway premiere of Look Homeward, Angel with Anthony Perkins. In 1959, Storch along with 5 other Actors Studio members were invited to Italy's Spoleto Festival to act in several one act plays.
- Television roles 1950's
- During the "Golden Age of Television," Storch acted in comedies, drama and series. His TV debut was in 1954 in the lighthearted series, The Goldberg's. That same year, Storch played opposite Paul Newman in the drama Thunder of Silence while the following year he demonstrated his comedic talent in the military satire The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko) In 1955 Storch, in another comic role, played a straight-laced recruit, opposite Andy Griffith's country bumpkin in Mac Hyman's satire No Time for Sergeants. Two years later Storch played an attorney in the premiere episodes of The Defender, opposite Steve McQueen and Ralph Bellamy. Bobartdiva18 (talk) 03:39, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply but I have looked through your reply, and the corrections and expansions you propose for the Early life, Early stage acting career (1950s), and Television roles (1950s) sections. Before these changes can be added to the article, they need to be supported by reliable published sources, as required by Wikipedia’s verifiability policy. This is especially important for details about training, productions, dates, and collaborators.If you can provide citations for the information above, please add them here or indicate where it is documented. Thank yo. Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 12:54, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Question from TheDailyWall (17:56, 21 January 2026)
Hello Plutus, how do I insert images into a Wikipedia page --TheDailyWall (talk) 17:56, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
Question from ObsidianMonolith (23:37, 21 January 2026)
I don't know if wikipedia tells you this, but it assigned you as my "mentor"
so i was trying to add a clarification onto the page about "lazy susan's" specifically, about one of the myths on its name's origin, i did research to confirm that my information was correct, seen as it was information already mentioned in a previously referenced link, i didn't think I need to link any references, and yet my edit was undone because it was not "constructive" i'm wondering if you can take a look at my edit and tell me what I did wrong?
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lazy_Susan&diff=prev&oldid=1334166635
I made this edit because how I interpret the text, as is, is that thomas jefferson has a daughter named susan, but it's unknown whether he invented the lazy susan and named it after her
However, after my research, I couldn't find any records of him having a daughter by that name
I realized this specific topic isn't important, but I just want to know what I did wrong so I don't repeat it in the future --ObsidianMonolith (talk) 23:37, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
Question from Kivi36 (22:33, 24 January 2026)
Could u help me format this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_2025–26_NBA_season_transactions&wvprov=sticky-header#Free_agents

Kim Seon-ho: incorrect information
Hi, you were assigned as my mentor. I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. If it is not, please tell me how to delete this. I am not planning to edit any articles, but I believe that the article about Kim Seon-ho contains false information (gossip). Not only is it false, but this information is circulated among Kim Seon-ho’s fans; therefore, the article appears to be more akin to a fan page than an encyclopedia entry.
I have commented on the talk page, but the issue is more than five years old, and the wording has been agreed upon by the editors, which, in my view, does not make it any less false. I realize that it may be impossible to change anything with the current editors, but the least I could do is try.
The reason I am insisting on it is because I am very familiar with the case (followed the case five years ago) and was quite surprised to discover the way it was framed on Wikipedia.
Not sure what I should do. I would like the entire article to be edited by a non-fan (not me, somebody experienced, not familiar with Hallyu and neutral). NothingbuttheTruth101 (talk) 02:24, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
