RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject about article[edit]

Hi @Charles Matthews can you see and check my sandbox please i think this article is good i want know your opinion

thank you Skymansky3 (talk) 09:13, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skymansky3: Your article doesn't have the required type of referencing. See WP:INTREF4. Self-published contributions to sites aren't enough. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Charles Matthews Is there a chance to be in the draft? Can you do that? Skymansky3 (talk) 09:34, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skymansky3:Frankly, the draft needs to rewritten completely. At present there is hardly a sentence in it that belongs in Wikipedia. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

if you have time can you put some edits please in it that belongs in Wikipedia Skymansky3 (talk) 09:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day![edit]

Bartholomew Lloyd[edit]

Hi Charles, just a curious question. You created this article which contains the following paragraph:

  Born at New Ross, County Wexford, 5 February 1772, he was son of Humphrey Lloyd, himself the son of the Rev. Bartholomew Lloyd of the Abbey House of New Ross. His father died while he was still a boy, and an uncle, the Rev. John Lloyd, rector of Ferns and Kilbride, to whose care he had been given, also died shortly, so that he was left to struggle for himself. He entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1787 as a pensioner. In 1790 he gained first scholarship, in 1792 graduated B.A., and in 1796 obtained a junior fellowship. He graduated M.A. in the same year, B.D. in 1805, and D.D. in 1808.

What does the phrase He enrered Trinity College as a pensioner actually mean, as he seems to have been about 15 years old?
