Mike Snider page[edit]
Mike's wife passed away on April 24, 2024. I added this to his Personal Life info, but you backed it out. Here is her obituary: https://www.williamsfhofgreenfieldandgleason.com/obituary/Sabrina-SniderGleasonChapel Kman38237 (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Kman38237 That's not a reliable source. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 20:53, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- That is the funeral home website. What do you mean by it is not reliable? Are you a real person or a bot? 208.87.75.12 (talk) 21:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Umm... how exactly am I a bot? NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @209.87.75.12 Also, the problem is that he (or you if you decided to use an IP) didn't even put that link in the sentence to explain how Mike's wife died. If you're going to do that, you may do so, but be aware that there will be other people also monitoring the page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Ram Chandra Bose[edit]
I noticed you reverted a number of my edits to the article on Ram Chandra Bose. I understand the rule that blogs are not reliable sources. The reason I linked to that site was to include a photo of the grave site of Bose. Would it be acceptable to insert a link to the photograph alone (see link below)? Should I rather insert the photograph itself? I tried to locate George H. Shepherd who posted the photograph to seek permission, but found no address where to reach him. Also, he has appeared to cease adding to his blogs since 2022. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP-IdZlTnop1_ek8qyWqrBU3UWyJ8pvdOJJuDillxWsbaXxFFwZ0hgJ_-k9HE4mX0HWgSt7e8kcpDjZzjIyFZnJbFlBhpwgviDU1J87ObegJ4JDFj2MqeZLbBBJxEeRpsyT-Lh5rngGIg/s1600/CemNov18.15+Ram+Chandra+Bose+1836-1892.jpg
I noticed you also reverted all references to my published article on Bose. I have found the Wikipedia restrictions on inserting self-published articles. Are there also rules prohibiting an author including his own work if it is published in a scholarly, peer-reviewed book?
Thanks,

- @Aguenther Well, you can add your references back. However, I would advise you to ask someone if adding the image is appropriate, since it could attract some contention. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:52, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate the guidance. Do you know if linking to Find-a-Grave is less contentious? The same image is there, but in a much lower resolution. Aguenther (talk) 21:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe, I guess. You might want to see it on a fact-checking site just to make sure. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
Guideline and policy news
- 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.
Technical news

Arbitration
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
