Line 22: == Administrators' newsletter – June 2024 == ~~== Feedback on potentially biased block ==~~ [[Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter\|News and updates for administrators]] from the past month (May 2024). You have protected the Autism Speaks article because you say it will always be a target for what you term 'vandalism'. However, I feel this does not take the source of the "vandalism", and what I feel is the consequential enshrining of one side in a controversy without allowing the other side an opportunity to be heard. The reason I looked up the article in the first place was to find out why the administrator of the r:/autism reddit requested that no posts linking to that organization be posted because so '''''many''''' autistic Reddit members found them objectionable or questionable. And all I was thinking of doing, when I found there wasn't even an acknowledgement in the Wikipedia article that there even WAS any such controversy, was to add a perspective note worded something like, "To be fair, it should be noted that some people feel / believe / have a different opinion " ... whatever language it takes to be sure both sides have been fairly presented. If removing the block is a non-starter ... and I can understand how that might not be as simple as it seems ... please, in the interests of justice and fairness, at least add such a note yourself [[User:Dan O Shanter\|Dan O Shanter]] ([[User talk:Dan O Shanter\|talk]]) 06:13, 18 March 2024 (UTC) <div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap"> ~~== Full protection on Changi Airport ==~~ <div style="flex: 1 0 20em"> [[File:Wikipedia Administrator.svg\|20px\|alt=]] '''Administrator changes''' Hello, can you revert back to the last stable version on [[Changi Airport]] prior to the dispute? <span style="background:deepskyblue;padding:0.5px 10px;font-size:14px">[[User:Nkon21\|<span style="color:azure">ɴᴋᴏɴ21</span>]] <span style="color:navy;letter-spacing:-2px">❯❯❯</span> [[User talk:Nkon21\|<span style="color:#E4E4E2">talk</span>]]</span> 13:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC) :[[File:Gnome-colors-view-refresh.svg\|20px\|alt=readded\|Readded]] [[Special:Permalink/1222103388#Resysop request (Graham Beards)\|Graham Beards]] :No, I protected it at the [[WP:WRONGVERSION\|version that stood when I got to it]].
