You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election
Greetings,
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the call for candidates on Meta-wiki. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in SecurePoll, successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on the 2026 Elections page, including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

Earlier today, I added a verbatim quote and attributed it to an RS journal. However, I was unaware the translated text even within an RS is evidently not permitted. Odd, but hey, I don't make the rules. It was identified as: Potential copyright violation log b 15:10 CopyPatrolBot talk contribs marked revision 1352497584 on Zossen documents as a potential copyright violation Tag: PageTriage. Please take a look at the adjustment I made and ensure I've properly eliminated the violation. Thanks.--Obenritter (talk) 16:52, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it :) The bot just flags the revision for further review. It is not an authority nor is it able to say any given text is a true copyright violation or otherwise against the rules. So long as you believe you're abiding by local policies (I think w:WP:OWNWORDS, w:WP:INTEXT, and w:WP:NOFULLTEXT are the relevant ones here), there's no reason to change anything. — MusikAnimal talk 20:12, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
