I don't know how an AutoEd script could break an ISBN, but , removing a digit in each case. Maybe the ISBNs were edited manually. Please check your tools. (And stop removing hyphens from ISBNs, please.)– ] (]) 05:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC) | ||

Seabee
Thank you for the time you put into the Seabee article. Very good of an ex-Army putting that effort into a USN article. I have a request to make if you have the time: reading the WWII award section and footnotes of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133 and sharing any thoughts. My email is easy just add @yahoo to my id. Thank youMcb133aco (talk) 23:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)mcb133acoMcb133aco (talk) 23:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – January 2020
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2019).

Guideline and policy news
- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Misplaced Pages. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Misplaced Pages:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Misplaced Pages talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
Arbitration
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being
the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted
rather thanreasonably construed
. - Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce.

Miscellaneous
- This issue marks three full years of the Admin newsletter. Thanks for reading!

Ending of Lawrence of Arabia
Lawrence's fatal motorcycle crash is at the beginning of the film. At the end of the film he is driven away in an automobile and their car passes someone else riding a motorcycle. This has been stable in the article for a long time. If you wish to change it, please discuss at Talk or provide a source that supports your interpretation of the ending. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 03:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Doniago: Thanks. I'm trying to provide a plot summary that comports with the "real-life/death" events and those depicted in the film. I'll take a look at the film and revise our plot summary as needed. (IOW, I'm "absolutely-sure" about the actual bio, and "pretty-sure" about the beginning and end of the film. If there is a difference we should explain it to the reader.) Happy editing – your contributions are appreciated! – S. Rich (talk) 03:54, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've seen the film at least three times, and am 100% sure it begins with his death and that the rest of the film is a flashback, up to and including his leaving Arabia in an automobile and passing a motorcyclist. It stood out to me because it felt like such an odd way to end the film (i.e. not even returning to the "present"). I may have even said aloud, "Wait, that's it??" Quite possibly an allusion to his time in Arabia ultimately ending with a bit of a whimper rather than a bang? Anyway, I'm open to changing the summary but I think there should definitely be a consensus for any significant changes at the Talk page before implmenting such changes. Cheers and Happy 2020!

AutoEd-assisted edit broke an ISBN?
I don't know how an AutoEd script could break an ISBN, but this edit broke two ISBNs, removing a digit in each case. Maybe the ISBNs were edited manually. Please check your tools. (And stop removing hyphens from ISBNs, please.)– Jonesey95 (talk) 05:50, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
