  • Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
  • Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
  • The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
  • This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.

AIER

I find that AIER is more of an economic research center and should be portrayed neutrally in the intro. Even the CDC and NYT have spread controversial opinions or misleading information before. Fox News is much more controversial and has a neutral issue. The main part about AIER should be that it supports market Econ and Classical liberalism. If there are any controversies, it should be in the controversies section. Treehugger1492 (talk) 02:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, thanks for clarifying. Whenever you need to remove entire sections, in the future you should explain why in the edit summary, as it can come across as disruptive. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 02:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
True. Please see also my note on Treehugger's page. Controversy sections are deprecated, and what an organization says about itself is not a reliable source. (Wikipedia goes by secondary sources.) Bishonen | tålk 10:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC).[reply]
