Re: 'welcome a bit' notifications
Hi William S. Saturn!

I've added you for the 'welcome a bit' notifications for review-ready articles for any topic. These notifications will be delivered to your email via Special:EmailUser; if you don't have a valid email set, please do it now. Thank you for signing up!

As new articles appear, I personally encourage you to follow these steps immediately, as soon as the notification is received and you have a few free minutes:


 * 1) Approach their author at the article talk page (if they're experienced) or at their personal talk page (this is more suitable for newcomers, as this is where they notice new messages the soonest). Tell them two-three most important things they can do to improve the article, and offering your assistance. It helps to give them tips from content guide, style guide, and/or some important questions about the news event that they're reporting. Remind them to edit quickly to get it published within 2-3 days after the event, leaving some time for review to occur.
 * 2) Edit a copy of the article in your personal sandbox. Aim to improve as many things as you can.
 * 3) If no response is received within six to twelve hours, then I would recommend to edit the article to completion and submit it for review. (If response or edits are received, then your revision would need to be merged into theirs.) Leave the author a note about what you have done, outlining the main two-three changes that have been made.

This should hopefully help authors and the news readers. There is no commitment; I prefer to do these steps with articles in my topics of interest (my country and my topic, i.e. science and technology).

If you need any assistance, or find a bug in how the notifications are delivered, please let me know.

Many thanks. --Gryllida (talk) 00:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Is it working? Gryllida (talk) 09:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. Sorry for the delayed response. --William S. Saturn (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

unsubscribed?
Hello! I unsubscribed everyone from 'welcome a bit', as I am not sure who is still interested. If you would like to continue receiving notifications, please visit Special:EmailUser/Gryllida and write "Re-subscribe for 'welcome a bit'" in the message body. Thanks!. -Gryllida (talk) 03:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Haven't seen you around much lately.....you OK??-Bddpaux (talk) 17:13, 18 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes. I'm not as active online as I used to be. Maybe that will change.--William S. Saturn (talk) 20:40, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I hope so! We've had a bit of a revival around these parts!--Bddpaux (talk) 21:35, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

ArbCom 2021
Hi William S. Saturn. I was wondering if you'd be willing to stand for ArbCom this year? If you don't wish to nominate yourself, I would be happy to nominate you. •–• 07:50, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. Thank you.--William S. Saturn (talk) 21:21, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Temporary change to article length
Hello. As a reviewer, this note is just to let you know we are implementing a trial from February 1 to April 30 to encourage more articles to be published per the outcome of a current proposal. The minimum requirements for article length will be one paragraph of at least a hundred words. At the end of the trial the requirements will return to normal (3 paragraphs etc) and there will be an evaluation discussion about the trial. Happy reviewing! [24Cr][talk] 23:07, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Temporary change to freshness
Hello. As a reviewer, this note is just to let you know we are implementing a trial from July 4 to October 4 to enable more articles to be reviewed per the outcome of a current proposal. The freshness window is being extended to about five to seven days. At the end of the trial the window will continue to be at 5-7 days while we discuss whether to adopt the change permanently or not. Happy reviewing! [24Cr][talk] 17:32, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Haven't seen you around much in recent days. You still with us?--Bddpaux (talk) 21:16, 6 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm still around. For some reason I didn't receive any notification of messages here.--William S. Saturn (talk) 22:19, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Your (in)activity as a reviewer
Hello again. As I see, your last review log was October 2016, almost seven years ago. Per WN:PEP, your lack of reviewer activity for two or more years would lead you to loss of your reviewer permission rights. Of course, you could've used the Easy Peer Review tool, whose actions aren't recorded in the Review log, within the past two years. If you also haven't used the gadget tool within the time frame, then a request that you no longer be a reviewer may more likely be possible. George Ho (talk) 11:25, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey again. This is the (belated perhaps) second notice. As I see, you've still not yet reviewed at least one article since I notified you almost one year ago. I may wanna request removal of your reviewer tools at the soonest time if you don't review an article by then. —George Ho (talk) 03:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * What exactly are you hoping to accomplish with all this? Do you contribute at all to the main space?--William S. Saturn (talk) 22:31, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Administrator
You have voted on a few things this year.....but that's about it. Are you still interested in working as an Admin here?--Bddpaux (talk) 22:14, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Water_cooler/miscellaneous may be of interest to you as a reviewer, thanks and regards, Gryllida (talk) 05:54, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Requesting a review
Hi @William S. Saturn, you are one of the few remaining reviewers / administrators on Wikinews and I was wondering if you could help review my first article here: World Athletics Indoor Championships concludes in Glasgow with new world records and significant wins. I'd really appreciate a review, even if you are rusty, because there have been no new Wikinews articles in over two months. If you're not available, I was wondering if you could vote on or approve Asheiou's RfP here to increase the number of reviewers.

I'll send you an email ping as well because you mentioned above you weren't getting notifications from this talk page. Thank you, --Habst (talk) 18:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Review
I have an OR article lingering in the News room..... any chance you could look at it, please--Bddpaux (talk) 15:21, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

You contributing
Any chance you will be able to write here more often? BigKrow (talk) 05:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I'll try to. William S. Saturn (talk) 06:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. BigKrow (talk) 13:12, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * If the article I posted isn't reviewed before July then I won't be coming back. There really isn't any point in putting in the effort for nothing. --William S. Saturn (talk) 06:02, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * "There really isn't any point in putting in the effort for nothing" - Don't leave. You are still a reviewer, while you can't publish your own articles, you can publish others and hopefully get this place a bit more active. I honestly think that 2 really active reviewers could revive this place. @William S. Saturn Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 10:37, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Report
Hello, please check this IP for vandalism/spam: https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/64.237.181.78. Thank you. Ternera (talk) 16:39, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you want me to do. --William S. Saturn (talk) 05:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Presumably @Ternera wanted you to block the IP Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 00:08, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing they wanted a Checkuser done to see if there are other accounts (I've checked and not found any). [24Cr][talk] 14:50, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * But there not a CU @Cromium Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 09:46, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

On the campaign trail in the USA, May 2024
Done. Sorry it took a while, but let me know for the next one. [24Cr][talk] 23:29, 28 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I will do so. William S. Saturn (talk) 00:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
