Just Closed Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Recall check-in

Hey @Barkeep49, just wanted to let you know that I closed your RfC on admin recall. If you feel I've made a silly or serious error please let me know so I can correct it. Dr vulpes (Talk) 08:07, 27 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr vulpes thanks for your work closing it. I only gave it a skim and am looking forward to really diving in. I will admit that after the first 24 hours of the RfC I basically didn't look at it so as to make sure I didn't over reply to comments, so I can't comment on whether there is any silly or serious error. I can only express my appreciation that you took the time to read the discussions on you could close it and write such a comprehensive closing statement.

New pages patrol January–February 2026 Backlog drive

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol

New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points.

The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026.
The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive.
Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants.
Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points.
Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds.
Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive.
Interested in participating? Sign up here.

TFL notification

Hi, Barkeep49. I'm just posting to let you know that Coretta Scott King Award – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for January 19, 2026. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 22:32, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Giants2008 that's cool. Is there any chance we could bump it to January 26, 2026? The new King Winner will be announced that day so it has a bit of a date hook. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:36, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:49, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Barkeep, your wish is my command. Cheers and a happy new year. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:18, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2026 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2026 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here, and a bot will set up your submissions page within one day, ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2026 WikiCup, the highest-ranking contestants will receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. This is the same scoring system that we had last year. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants are no longer eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

AE stats table

Hello, Barkeep49! (And HNY!) I was able to figure out most of the contentious-topic abbreviations in the table you posted at WT:ACN from the list at WP:CT or by trying WP:CT/__ shortcuts, but I can’t seem to identify AE or SRI. Any clues for the clueless?—Odysseus 1479 02:41, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Odysseus1479 AE is Arbitration Enforcement - someone who is doing what the board was first setup to do, either appealing a sanctions specific to them or requesting a sanction against someone from a case specific remedy that's not part of a broader Contentious Topic restriction. SRI is Sri Lanka now folded into South Asia. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:03, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
