Hi Bilby, I’ve made careful edits to address the issues raised on the article you flagged a while ago—would really value your thoughts on whether the paid tag can now be reviewed.

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Mentorship
[edit]Hi Bilby,
I came across a question on my talk page about One Morning in May (folk song) where a user mentioned James Taylor’s version from the album One Man Dog. I'm not sure how to best address it — whether to add it as a mention in the article, cite a reliable source, or handle it another way.
Since you're an experienced editor, I was wondering how you'd approach this kind of query. Is it appropriate to respond with sourcing advice, or should I redirect the user elsewhere? —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 10:39, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
