Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter/Guide
Some guidance and notes for writing each section of the administrators' newsletter.
If another way to find information for a section occurs to you, just add it!
New administrators
- A chronological list of successful requests for administrator rights can be found at Wikipedia:Successful requests for adminship. Simply list the administrators promoted in the previous month next to the plus symbol with a link to their RfA.
- For administrators whose user right was removed in the last month, check the bureaucrats' noticeboard and the Arbitration Committee Noticeboard.
Guideline and policy news
- Look through the Village Pump archives for the previous month, to see if any RfCs were closed.
- See what was listed at Template:Centralized discussion one and two months ago, to see if any of the RfCs have since been closed, or look at removed entries for the last month.
- Check which RfCs are in the recent archives for ANRFC.
Technical news
- Look through last month's editions of Tech News to see if anything is relevant to administrators.
Arbitration
- List notices from Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard pertaining to arbitration enforcement or discretionary sanctions, but not individual users.
Obituaries
- Unlikely (hopefully) to happen very often, but deceased administrators should be listed. Check Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians.
