Thank you today for Apollo 6, about "the final uncrewed Apollo mission. It didn't go quite as planned, but it went well enough."! - Thank you also for the FAC review! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:33, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Happy Easter (oratorio - TFA for me, after a long break)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:39, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Today's FA is Bridge, - a broad topic by many. My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind (Empress Elisabeth Bridge, adding to Chain bridge and Müngsten Bridge, the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to the same page, Christian Schwarz-Schilling and Bill Ramsey whose regular Swingtime I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:56, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
Today's story is about one of three bios I brought to today's main page: look and listen, an extraordinary woman in many respects. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:27, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
June TFA Question
[edit]Hello Wehwalt, hope you are doing well. I had a question regarding TFA scheduling for the month of June. I wanted to have one of my articles (Love Is Embarrassing) run on the release date of Olivia Rodrigo's upcoming third studio album (June 12). I had the TFA upon the release of her second studio album in 2023 and I think it would be a nice tradition to have. I noticed there are two similar articles at TFAP on proximate dates, a Mariah Carey song on June 16 and then a Taylor Swift one on June 19. Swift is a frequent presence on the main page and had one as recently as this March. Neither Swift or Carey were listed at TFAP by the author and neither has been presented with a proper nomination at TFAR. Just wanted to check if you actually plan to schedule both of these or should I proceed with nominating mine for June 12?--NØ 03:19, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
- I doubt I would accept a June 19 nom I asked for another article to be deferred so I could run it on Juneteenth. Since we're not heavy on popular music in June just yet I might accept both nominations, but June 12 should be fine, assuming something something else doesn't come up. Go ahead and nominate.

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:43, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

FAQs at FAC
[edit]I and user Noleander have been drafting a revised FAQ page for FAC newcomers. A proposal has been made at WT:FAC as well.
Well, your opinion will be appreciated and feel free to add additional questions that we may have missed. Best, MSincccc (talk) 08:50, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
Hey there Wehwalt, hope all is well. This article is currently at FAC, but has faltered a little: There's one support, but two nominators who are neutralish given the amount of background material that the article includes. It also just got a coordinator nudge for lack of recent comments. Is there any chance you might have some time in the coming days to give it a look? Especially given your experience at FAC, your thoughts would be very appreciated. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 00:30, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
- I will do it but it may be a few days. I will try though as soon as I can. Wehwalt (talk) 00:45, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you! Much appreciated. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:45, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
FA Peer Review
[edit]Hi Wehwalt, I’ve listed that article at peer review that I mentioned to you last fall. If you have time, woukd appreciate any comments you may have. It’s rather technical, so don’t know if it fits the FA mould: Section 54 of the Constitution Act, 1867. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:34, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
- I will, but I'm traveling and a bit backed up so it might not be until next week.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:41, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
- No rush. ☺️ Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:11, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
Notability and old articles
[edit]Although I applaud your tastes in literature (you like DWJ!)... during your early years on Wikipedia, you more than once created articles on works of fiction without actually saying anything about notability. (e.g., The Spring Madness of Mr. Sermon). It'd be great if you could backcheck your stuff there. Thanks in advance. DS (talk) 03:49, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – May 2026
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2026).
Administrator changes
Interface administrator changes
CheckUser changes
Oversight changes
Guideline and policy news
Technical news
- Changes to user permissions made from Meta are now included in the local user permissions log (T6055).
- The autoconfirmed user group will soon be modified such that the four-day account age requirement begins when an account makes its first edit (T418484).
Arbitration
- The arbitration case SchroCat has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 15 April.
- Per a recent motion, appeals of blocks from the conflict-of-interest VRT queue are, by default, appealed on-wiki through the normal unblock process. However, they may be heard by the Committee if COIVRTers disagree on the interpretation of the evidence or believe ArbCom would be better suited to hear the appeal. Administrators are also advised that loosening or lifting such blocks without the consent of someone with access to the queue or ArbCom can be grounds for desysopping.
- Per a recent motion, restrictions issued directly by the Committee may now be enforced with blocks which work exactly like contentious topic blocks.
- The arbitration case Maghreb has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- The May 2026 administrator elections are scheduled to run from April 29 to May 19. The call for candidates ends May 5.
- The 2026 Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is scheduled to run from April 25 to June 1. Candidacy submissions close on May 10.
- A new noticeboard for non-urgent, batch page protection requests has been created, primarily for the enforcement of contentious topic restrictions.
