If you need an admin, please go to WP:AN. If you came here because I speedily deleted an article, please see WP:REFUND first. If you have questions/problems concerning academic journals, Headbomb is very knowledgeable on this subject and always very helpful. Thanks. |

Hi, and welcome to my User Talk page! For new discussions, please add your comments at the very bottom and use a section heading (e.g., by using the "+" tab, or, depending on your settings, the "new section" tab at the top of this page). I will respond on this page unless specifically requested otherwise. I dislike talk-back templates and fragmented discussions. If I post on your page you may assume that I will watch it for a response. If you post here I will assume the same (and that you lost interest if you stop following the discussion).
START A NEW TALK TOPIC.CNRS
How about you give a valid reason for this? Ombreux (talk) 15:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- And a Happy New Year to you, too! While I appreciate your effort to improve the CNRS article, the sad reality is that nobody pays any attention to those SCImago rankings: not journals, not publishers, and not any universities or research organizations. I bet that not even the CNRS themselves have given this any attention, but even if they did, it wouldn't change the fact that SCImago for all purposes is trivial. Hope this explains. --Randykitty (talk) 20:24, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – January 2025
News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
Administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Oversight changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

AFDs
Hello, Randykitty,
It was great to see that you have been closing some AFDs today. Your help has been missed! I think it's better for the project to have a larger pool of admin closers who can rotate in for a day or two when they are available rather than relying on only a couple of closers to handle the lion's share of closures. Misplaced Pages benefits from having a variety of experience and perspectives, all guided by policy, of course. Thank you. Liz 19:20, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
