DYK for Transgender history in Finland[edit]
On 28 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Transgender history in Finland, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that records of transgender people in Finland stretch back to the 19th century? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Transgender history in Finland. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Transgender history in Finland), and the hook may be added to the 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 to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
- As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.
Technical news
- Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
Miscellaneous
- Following a community referendum, the arbitration policy has been modified to remove the ability for users to appeal remedies to Jimbo Wales.
I'm disappointed[edit]
not by the fact that there are transphobes on Wikipedia. But by how many are willing to at least partially excuse transphobia because they self-admittedly have a good relationship with the person in question, or because the editor has been around (being transphobic) for a long time. I also disappointed by how many people see trans people as a topic area, that think it is okay to be transphobic as long as you do it under a topic which is not about trans people. I am equally disappointed that there are respected editors here who believe that being transphobic and being against transphobia are equivalent.
I placed a wikibreak template on my user page hoping to take a step away and let things fold out and hopefully let myself heal. Then I cleaned up some promotion from an article. Just now I reverted someone for using unreliable sources. I am not taking a wikibreak, but I continue to claim so. The things I mentioned feel like a duty to me, and like second nature. But those are not why I edit, not anymore. I edit to work together with other, reasonable, experienced editors to make and keep articles that are accurate, balanced, and beautiful. But it is exactly this I am taking a wikibreak from. My sense of purpose here has met a crisis when so many of the people who may talk perfectly reasonably, some of whom I've even looked up to, without daring or probably even knowing to say it, see me and my community as second-rate people, and our protection as contingent. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 20:41, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

- Routine cleanup is something that comes to me almost instinctively at this point. I still need to reflect a lot over how I feel about so many editors, some of whom I respected very much, seemingly taking transphobia to be a topic area problem rather than bigotry unacceptable everywhere. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 08:53, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Are you in a position to investigate a sockpuppet?[edit]
As per here Wikipedia:Teahouse#How do I report a sockpuppet? I think I found a sockpuppet. Can you help? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 06:56, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Not really. If you think you have good evidence, WP:SPI is the way to go. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 07:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
