Happy First Edit Anniversary ScottDavis 🎉

Hey @ScottDavis. Your wiki edit anniversary is today, marking 21 years of dedicated contributions to English Wikipedia. Your passion for sharing knowledge and your remarkable contributions have not only enriched the project, but also inspired countless others to contribute. Thank you for your amazing contributions. Wishing you many more wonderful years ahead in the Wiki journey and a blessed New Year. :) -❙❚❚❙❙ GnOeee ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 18:07, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Nedia020415 @DaniloDaysOfOurLives and @Gnoeee. It has been an interesting time, although I am not as active at present as I was in some earlier times. I have learned lots, and added to many pages about what I've found. Page standards have improved a lot since I started, and I've been involved in establishing some of the norms. There have been some frustrations and disappointments too, but that happens in all aspects of life. -- Scott Davis ^Talk 12:11, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

All general sanctions imposed by the community may now be enforced at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard (WP:AE) as a result of a recent RfC.
Due to the result of a recent RFC, the administrator recall process is amended to extend the deadline for a re-request for adminship to 30 days or the next administrator election, whichever is later.
Changes to the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy's disclosure rules include broadening the consecutive-blocks exception to cover all admin actions and removing the requirement to revision-delete permissible disclosures once they become unnecessary (instead requiring only their removal). See WP:TAIVDISCLOSE for more information.

@Mariamnei: Thank you. I only created it as a redirect to Elphinstone Group six years ago. CineBrick315 (talk · contribs) turned it into a full article this week. Hopefully he/she is pinged by this message so will see your alert. Scott Davis ^Talk 04:13, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @CineBrick315. @ScottDavis - Thank you for pointing this out to me. This is a known problem with the review tool that I am told is being dealt with. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 08:07, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Mariamnei: No problems. I've had that kind of alert a few times for redirects I created years ago. I appreciate the efforts of the currently-active editors doing this kind of work - thank you. I am no longer anywhere near as active on Wikipedia as I used to be. --Scott Davis ^Talk 08:19, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
