Arbitration

• Aftera motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections atWP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g.[[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

I think I have someone on promo duty. User is Milkman For NYC. Four edits, three to NYC election this year regarding a likely fake candidacy. Can you look into it?CREditzWiki (Talk to me!!)23:39, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't worry about Milkman; he'll do something sufficiently annoying and get blocked, or he won't. It's kind of an amusing name for a hoax candidate. Rudy Giuliani's dad spent a year and a half inSing Sing for robbing a milkman at gunpoint. The hoaxer probably is referencing that.--jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇}01:17, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do remember hearing about that. Cheers!CREditzWiki (Talk to me!!)01:26, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
