The voting phase begins at 00:01 on 16 December and runs until 23:59 on 31 December. Questions may be asked of candidates at any stage in the process. Elected coordinators will serve a six-month term from 1 January through 30 June 2026.

Temporary users

Ah, I did not know about this! I had been a little in temporary break lately and then suddenly began seeing these new users! I am a bit embarrassed. Nevertheless, thanks for pointing it out. Chaipau (talk) 02:51, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

No problem. voorts (talk/contributions) 16:50, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Technical news

Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account associated with their edits.
Administrators will now find that Special:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start). T382958

Miscellaneous

The December 2025 administrator elections are scheduled from Nov 25 – Dec 15.
An Articles for Creation backlog drive is happening in December 2025, with over 1,000 drafts awaiting review from the past two months. In addition to AfC participants, all administrators and new page patrollers can help review using the Yet Another AFC Helper Script, which can be enabled in the Gadgets settings. Sign up here to participate!

Michael Jackson series

Due to the controversial nature of Jackson's pages, can admins step in and put indefinite extended edit protection in place for his articles? Never17 (talk) 04:21, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Review of close of close review ... close

Did you mean to close the close review discussion at ANI below the close that was being reviewed (), where editors were already commenting, in favour of the notice at AN which specifically asked to comment at ANI? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 00:24, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I misread your AN post.

Trout for myself. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:26, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I've unclosed the ANI. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:27, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

No problem, glad I asked. It's been a day, I just kind of thought I was losing my mind a bit. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 00:37, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Biased editing by Voorts

Opinion rejected on the article about Zack Polanski is a poor reflection of the article and yourself. Will escalate your name as a report to Wikipedia for biased editing. PolitickingAnalysis (talk) 23:06, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I haven't edited the Zack Polanski article. There's also no such thing as "reporting" people to Wikipedia for biased editing. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:11, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Then explain why you put that you rejected the opinion. I thought Wikipedia wasn’t for your opinion? PolitickingAnalysis (talk) 23:13, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I didn't reject any opinion. I have no clue what you're talking about. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:18, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia is a collaborative project. You have to work with others to reach agreement about what should be in articles. You've already been blocked because you weren't doing that. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:13, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Please explain to me how do to that because I think your opinion of my edit is fundamentally wrong. PolitickingAnalysis (talk) 23:13, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Please explain your opinion on it further as I genuinely don’t understand. PolitickingAnalysis (talk) 23:14, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Please reread my comment at ANI: Special:Diff/1327340939. What don't you understand about that? voorts (talk/contributions) 23:15, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

The caption read “opinion rejected” and then you suggested gathering support in order to make an edit, this I don’t understand when everyone else that make constructive edits does not get this. PolitickingAnalysis (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Edit warring is not constructive. If someone objects to your edits, you must seek consensus on the article talk page. Please review WP:BRD. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:22, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Also, Wikipedia articles are not built on editors' "opinions". They are built on verifiable facts. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:23, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

This is what I am saying and even less convincing of why you reverted it. I suggest you take a second look please? I also haven’t assumed any bad faith, in you. The information I left is a verifiable fact, but you still removed it, my question is why? You are the one that put an opinion. PolitickingAnalysis (talk) 23:28, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
