Regarding topic ban of a user
editHi, it is regarding this edit by this user. Aren't they topic-banned from " South Asian social groups explicitly including castes". The edit they made is related to caste/community/ancestry not to mention unsourced. Please have a look. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:54, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
Henry Earl
editHi Callanecc! hope you are doing well. I believe that Henry Earl, which you salted after a 2014 DRV, is now eligible for an article. During the AFD, the main argument for deletion was that an article about a man famous for being arrested over 1,000 times was an inherent BLP violation. Earl died in May 2024, so BLP is no longer an applicable argument. I also believe we have a clear GNG pass:
| Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Per WP:NEWSWEEK, there is consensus that pre-2013 Newsweek articles are generally reliable. This one was published in 2004. |
Multiple paragraphs about Earl |
✔ Yes | |
|
CNN is considered generally reliable |
Multiple paragraphs about Earl |
✔ Yes | |
|
Lexington Herald-Leader is a highly-regarded newspaper of record for Lexington, Kentucky. |
Multiple paragraphs about Earl |
✔ Yes | |

Are you willing to undelete the article? I fully understand if you'd rather this be discussed at DRV given the lengthy history. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:57, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @HouseBlaster, sounds good to me so I've unsalted it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:39, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-30
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Reader Experience team has incorporated community feedback around the placement of watchstar and watchlist buttons for the Reading Lists beta feature, which would allow for saving articles for later reading – a wishlist item to bring the functionality to web. Editors are invited to enable the beta feature to test it out and share their thoughts.
- Suggestion Mode offers edit suggestions within the VisualEditor for improving Wikipedia articles. All suggestions are community-configurable. The TextMatch feature is a way for volunteers to create custom local suggestions. The feature searches in articles for strings of text, and now includes support for regular expressions. This gives volunteers greater precision and flexibility over the kinds of local suggestions they can create. Note: Suggestions can be targeted based on the edit count of the person editing as well as other aspects of the page. You can find examples from other communities for inspiration, including TextMatches that detect: typos, grammar-errors, potential advertisements, clichés, incorrect dash or hyphen usage, non-specific time keywords, outdated names, and more. Any feedback is appreciated.
View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the SVG Translate tool could use an outdated version of a file, causing existing translations to be overwritten when new ones were uploaded, has now been fixed. Overall, in the last quarter from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Updates for technical contributors
- On Parsoid-enabled wikis, Parsoid now renders a maximum of 1,250 images per page. A new tracking category, "media-limit-reached", will be soon made available to identify pages where this limit is reached, making it easier to find content whose media output may have been restricted during rendering. See phab:T430854 for more information and to provide feedback.
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
