Administrators' newsletter – July 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2025).

Interface administrator changes
- Following a talk page discussion, speedy deletion criterion G13 has been amended to remove "Userspace with no content except the article wizard placeholder text."
- WP:Manual of Style/Superscripts and subscripts was upgraded to a guideline following a RfC discussion.
- The 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest will run from 1 July to 30 September. Sign up now!
- Administrator elections will take place this month. Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!
Clarification on Disclosure – K-ID (company) Article
[edit]Hi Billy,
Thank you for your recent note on the K-ID (company) article. I just wanted to clarify that I was not personally or professionally connected to the subject in any way. However, I was compensated after helping to improve the article, and I made a disclosure in good faith, labeling it as a conflict of interest, thinking that was the correct step.
I now understand the difference between a COI and a paid contribution under Wikipedia’s guidelines. Since mine was strictly a paid editing situation (with no close ties to the subject), I’d like to correct this if needed and ensure I comply fully with the Terms of Use.
Would you recommend I replace my Talk page note with a proper paid disclosure statement? Or are there other steps I should take to address the tag?
I really appreciate your time and guidance. I'm still learning and want to handle all my contributions correctly.
Thanks again,
