@Spritor, I've never interacted with this editor before and don't have any reason to suspect them of socking. If you think an SPI case needs to be filed on them, you should file it yourself, and an admin will get to it. --asilvering (talk)22:56, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
On19 November 2025,Did you know was updated with a fact from the articleSoy sauce fish, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was... that a British health campaign on recreational drug overdose recommended usingsoy sauce fishes to measure safe dosages? The nomination discussion and review may be seen atTemplate:Did you know nominations/Soy sauce fish. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page(here's how,Soy sauce fish), and the hook may be added tothe statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free tonominate it.
"In 2017 the Sydney Morning Herald reported on the illegal recreational use of 1,4-butanedioltookwithinMelbourne nightclubs, which was sometimes packaged in the containers."
The current sentence reads off to me, which is why I'd like to rearrange its elements. Specifically, the year is disrupting the reading flow where it currently is, and ending the sentence with reference to the containers helps regain focus on the subject of the article. All merely in my opinion, of course :)Barbalalaika 🐌20:24, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
HiBarbalalaika! I see your point, but my only concern is that it might make it sound like the nightclubs were "sometimes packaged in the containers". I've edited the sentence again, please feel free to reword it further if there's a better way.Bridget(talk)22:22, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There isno official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
Ask any questions about the process at thetalk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.
