Hi there. You marked [[How to keeps brown recluse spiders away?]] as a candidate for speedy deletion - however as it is a copyvio there is a different way of handling them, see [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]]. But anyway such clear cases like that one will probably get deleted after the 7 day grace period anyway. So keep on checking the new pages, we can need every help on that one. [[User:Ahoerstemeier|andy]] 17:13, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I'm aware it's a copyvio. I've marked several pages as copyvios in the past - however, I decided to mark this one as a speedy because the person who posted it included a few comments which seemed to me to attempt to imply that they had permission - so I decided to be safe and mark it as a speedy instead, due to the title. If you check the edit history, you'll see that the edit description mentioned that it was also a copyvio. In retrospect, it was a bad idea, but I did have my own twisted logic behind it. >:D [[User:Yelyos|Yelyos]] 17:32, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)

== Thanks for your support ==

Hello again, Yelyos.  Thank-you very much for your support on the [[WP:RFA|requests for administration page]].  I know you offered me before, and I wasn't ready, so I apologize for not approaching you- but I felt that it might be better if I were nominated by somebody without a personal relationship- just to keep things as unbiased as possible.  Of course, I'm not at all saying that you're a bias person, but people with personal relationships can sometimes have clouded views.  I know I simply couldn't live with myself if I thought I was nominated just because I knew another [[Wikipedian]]! -[[User:Frazzydee|[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee]]|[[User talk:Frazzydee|&#9997;]]]] 22:36, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*hehe, yes. A very valid point, for sure. Congradulations on the nomination (and almost sure adminship, judging from the votes). [[User:Yelyos|Yelyos]] 23:20, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
::Hello again.  Thanks for your confidence (and your vote!).  Unfortunately, I just realized that the number of contributions listed on [[WP:RFA|requests for adminship]] page is wrong.  I don't have '''1,906''' contributions.  Instead, I have '''1,492'''.  If you want to change your vote, I understand, and I won't hold it against you.  Either way- you have my appreciation :).  I'll see you around! -[[User:Frazzydee|[[User:Frazzydee|Frazzydee]]|[[User talk:Frazzydee|&#9997;]]]] 23:31, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

== Sonia Gandhi ==

Hi, 
What makes you think Sonia Maino was born Sonia Maino ? She was born as Antonia Maino.
What did she do at Cambridge ? Steven claims she did not go to Cambridge University yet that's what Sonia( Antonia Maino ) has been claiming.

Why is opposition party referred to as "Hindu Nationalist"? I corrected it since wikipedia does not allow opinions. It allows "FACTS". 
:Sorry about the Antonio Maino thing, that was an error on my part. As for the Cambridge part, the link was to Cambridge, England, not Cambridge University, so I assumed he meant the city and not the university - in any case, disputes, comments, questions, etc. about an article are supposed to be settled on the [[Talk:Sonia Gandhi|talk page]], and not the main article page. As for the Hindu Nationalists, I'm not entirely sure, but I'll leave that as something for those knowledgable on this subject to work out. My revert was primarily aimed at reverting what I saw as an injection of opinion into the article, and I believe I made some errors, and for that, I apologize.

==Dune (novel)==

Hi.  That tag you moved from the article to the talk page (notable citation).  It's not supposed to be on the article page itself?  Why?
[[User:Kaisershatner|Kaisershatner]] 5 July 2005 17:39 (UTC)

:If you have a look at [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Notable_citation]], it'll show that in all of the cases where that template was used, it was on the talk page. [[Dune (novel)]] was the only exception to this, and so I moved it to the talk page. The reason for putting them all on the talk page is probably because it's the sort of template which would be more of interest to wikipedians (as it's a reference to the article itself, and not the subject of the article, and the usage of the template in general tells more about the pervasiveness of Wikipedia than it does about the articles it's placed on) than general readers, looking for information on Dune. It could be contrasted with something like, say, the NPOV dispute template, which cautions readers of the article to take what it says with a grain of salt. [[User:Yelyos|Yelyos]] July 5, 2005 19:48 (UTC)

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Yelyos. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|TOTP]] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the [[Help:Two-factor authentication|developing help page]] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''New Page Reviewer''']], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|PERM]]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|here]] but very often a friendly custom message works best. 

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at [[WT:NPR]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

==Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year]] (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return&nbsp;if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated&nbsp;should this occur, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at [[WP:RFA]]. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->[[User:MadmanBot|MadmanBot]] ([[User talk:MadmanBot|talk]]) 01:15, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

:*Following a [[meta:Research:IP masking impact report|research project]] on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to [[meta:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|improve the privacy of IP editors]].

This avoids rights [[WP:HATCOLLECTING|removal for inactivity]] at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be hosted at the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] on '''Saturday November 16, 2019''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2019|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

:*A [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Desysop Policy (2021)|request for comment]] is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions.

:*Wikimedia previously used the [[m:IRC|IRC]] network [[Freenode]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:*After a [[WP:ARCA|Clarification request]], the Arbitration Committee modified [[WP:APLRS|Remedy 5]] of the ''Antisemitism in Poland'' case. This means sourcing expectations are a [[WP:DS|discretionary sanction]] instead of being present on all articles.

:*IP addresses of unregistered users are to [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|be hidden]] from everyone. There is a rough draft of how [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#Updates|IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them]]. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|at the talk page]].

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==


[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023. 

Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]]. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
* [[Special:Permalink/1111807998#RfC:_Updating_BLOCKEVIDENCE|Following an RfC]], consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the [[WP:ARB|Arbitration Committee]], a [[Wikipedia:Checkuser|checkuser]] or an [[WP:SIGHT|oversighter]] for action (as applicable, per [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Noticeboard/Archive_13#Special_Circumstances_Blocks|ArbCom's recent updated guidance]]) instead of the administrator making the block.
* [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_385#RFC%3A_Fox_News_(news)%3A_politics_%26_science|Following an RfC]], consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of [[FoxNews.com]] is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
* Community comment on [[:meta:Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines|the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines]] is requested until 8 October. 

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
* The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script|Articles for creation helper script]] now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at [[WP:AFCP]] to help out.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
* An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their [[Wikipedia:User_account_security#In_general|passwords are secure]], and reminded that ArbCom [[WP:RETURN|reserves the right to not restore adminship]] in cases of poor account security. You can also use [[Help:Two-factor_authentication|two-factor authentication]] (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
* Self-nominations for the [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Arbitration Committee Elections December 2022/Electoral Commission|electoral commission]] for the [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Arbitration Committee Elections December 2022|2022 Arbitration Committee elections]] open 2 October and close 8 October.

== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==


[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions.  Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]].  If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. <!-- Template:Inactive admin -->—&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89 bot|JJMC89 '''bot''']] 00:16, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

== Suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions have been removed. 

Subject to certain time limits and other restrictions, your administrative permissions may be returned upon request at [[WP:BN]].

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. <!-- Template:Inactive admin 2 -->— [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 02:23, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
