Mandatory 2FA for bureaucrats: Bureaucrats without two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled have already lost access to their advanced rights on 26 May. Those who do not enable 2FA may be automatically removed from the groups in mid-June 2026, and from that point onward, new members must have 2FA enabled before they can be added. (T423119, T423120)
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The June 2026 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis, usually on a Tuesday.
Monitoring is essential Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

I see the editing interests are similar, but I'm pretty sure they're not actually the same person. Certainly their technical information is very different, and their time cards look very different too. If it's one person, they are going to extreme lengths to make themselves look different - why do that when you're going to give the accounts the same name? No, far more likely is that JBHT saw another account with similar interests, and made a sock under that name in hopes of... well, there I'm not sure. Getting that account into trouble? Confusing us into thinking that they were a legitimate alt of that account? Hard to fathom what socks are up to sometimes. GirthSummit (blether)21:01, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
