Protection for Ghassan Abu Sittah[edit]
Hi! I noticed you have had issues with user Iskandar323 maliciously editing and then violating bans example you used on his talk page. I have been having some issues with him wholesale deleting sections I added without engaging on the topic on Ghassan Abu-Sittah. I am reverting the changes and have added new sources from the Times but would appreciate if you could step in and clarify so we do not devolve into an edit war.

- Sorry, I was away in the backcountry without internet access. Has this been resolved? Schwede66 07:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- He hasn't edited since. I will notify you if that changes. Hope you had a nice Easter trip! Tennisist123 (talk) 19:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- I did; thank you! Schwede66 20:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, @Schwede66 there were some huge revisions to the page made recently by Makeandtoss which were not discussed in the Talk page prior, do you mind stepping in and starting a dialogue about the changes? Some very strong sources were removed and the Controversies section was buried within the greater career which I do not believe is reasonable as his controversies have to do with political statements made by Abu Sittah and not his work as a plastic surgeon. I am too young an account to revert and want a more senior opinion before launching a discussion. Tennisist123 (talk) 10:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, Tennisist123. I'd rather not get involved in an area where I lack knowledge. You can always place
{{Template:Admin help}}
on an article's talk page and that'll summon some admin who's able and willing to help. Schwede66 02:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for the tip and for looking into it!
- Best, Tennisist123 (talk) 10:20, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Rotorua Lakes District[edit]
Could you please inspect and consider page protection again or other appropriate action (I think its the local school) as User:222.152.205.55 has resumed activities despite civil advice. I am not going to revert again. ChaseKiwi (talk) 22:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done, but could you please continue to invite them to talk page discussions, ChaseKiwi? Schwede66 23:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Typo[edit]
Hi Schwede66, I accidently misspelled "Sumida Park". It would be helpful if you could rename the file. Thanks. (I'll be very careful next time when adding files to Commons not to misclick)
Alexeyevitch(talk) 13:17, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed I hope you had a good time in Japan, Alexeyevitch. Schwede66 18:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Recent changes[edit]
Adding the Cleanup red links template like this, this, and this is truly not constructive, especially since you have not applied it to the equivalent existing pages for other years, which have existed for years now. It's a clear case of micromanaging recent changes and it just adds an eyesore template to otherwise pleasant articles. Easier to critique than to create, I suppose. Rowing007 (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- If there are existing World Rowing Junior Championships that suffer from the same problem, Rowing007, then we should apply the same tag there. And with regards to your criticism (
Easier to critique than to create, I suppose
), you might want to check out this page to see how embarrassing your comment is. Schwede66 00:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)- I am well-aware of your past contributions, and knew about them before making the comment. I am not "embarrassed" at all, because your past contributions do not take away from the fact that your addition of the template in these instances was, to put it bluntly, the lazy way out; it created more work instead of directly solving the perceived issue. If you tout your past contributions so proudly, I find it all the more ironic that you didn't put your money where your mouth is, in this case. Refer to my original comment to avoid going around in circles with this. Thanks. TL;DR you were not thorough here, regardless of your past contributions. Rowing007 (talk) 00:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have now applied the tag to all years; they all suffer from the same problem. I hope you did not get the impression that I was picking on you, Rowing007. When a new page of this nature gets set up, there is always going to be a link included to a page that I once wrote, and hence I get a notification. That's why I looked at your three pages; I'm not stalking you or anything like that. Schwede66 01:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Armagh Street Park Bridge[edit]
Hi! Hope things are well with you! Forgot all about this article... even how it is that I came to add some bits. Curious how is it that it got to mainspace now? As for DYK, sure, if you feel up to it. My interests have shifted and I just don't participate in that area anymore. And thanks for the ping; nice to reconnect. --Rosiestep (talk) 11:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
ITN recognition for Vincent O'Sullivan (New Zealand writer)[edit]
On 30 April 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Vincent O'Sullivan (New Zealand writer), which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. —Bagumba (talk) 04:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Bagumba. New entries are supposed to be added at the top of the list. It seems you slotted the three new ones into the middle of the list. Schwede66 05:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Kia ora Schwede66, just wanted to say thank you for nominating him for ITN. Really good to see him recognised on the front page. :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- I’m sure I’ve beaten you to it; expect you would have nominated him yourself, Chocmilk03. Schwede66 03:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- My capacity for wiki-work at the moment is a bit limited, so I suspect I would have meant to but not gotten around to it. Your nomination gave me the motivation to work on improving the article :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 03:21, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).

Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 15,000 articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
