== Mannequin Beach Article Deletion ==

   I woke up this morning thinking about the Lincoln, NE band Mannequin Beach.  So my next move was to see if I could glean any information from wikipedia...only to find out that a page had existed and been deleted.  what's the scoop?

== Allen Maxwell ==

In 2006, an article about of a bank vice president [[Allen Maxwell]] was deleted. You were involved with that. Today I started an article about Allen Maxwell who was in the [[Arkansas House of Representatives]] and just died. This would be notable. I just wanted to let you know. I made a brief comment at the Allen Maxwell article because a bot labeled it as a previous deletion. Thank you-[[User:RFD|RFD]] ([[User talk:RFD|talk]]) 13:04, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Motorola C157]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Not notable. Phone is the China only variant of the C156, a phone which does not have a Wikipedia article. Is not able to be merged because of that.'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Motorola C157|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:123chess456|123chess456]] ([[User talk:123chess456|talk]]) 07:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

== Deletion of "International Accreditation Service" from ISO/IEC 17025 ==

Greetings:  Noticed that you deleted a reference to one of the ILAC-member national accreditation bodies from the site for ISO/IEC 17025, while leaving as-is several others.  The note indicates your opinion that posting the name of the "International Accreditation Service" is simply for marketing or promotion reasons.

The International Accreditation Service (IAS) is one of the four (4) ILAC-recognized accreditation bodies (ABs) within the USA - all of which operate as private-sector corporations.  In the USA, accreditations for most private-sector testing laboratories are exclusively served through the private-sector, rather than through any governmental accreditation body.

If any ILAC-recognized (U.S.) AB is listed on this site, then the International Accreditation Service should be included.

IAS is the oldest, and currently the second-largest ILAC-recognized AB within the USA, with over 800 clients in 34 countries; in the ISO accreditation business since 1974.

If you need additional information about IAS, please let me know.  

Thank you for your consideration.

== ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' exit poll == 
Dear Wikipedian, you [https://vote.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:SecurePoll/list/560&dir=prev&limit=5 recently voted] in the [[WP:ACE2015/C|ArbCom election]].  Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was [[Hardware_random_number_generator|randomly selected]] from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2015/Electoral_Commission|one of the election-commissioners]].  If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an [[exit poll]], and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the [[WP:ARBCOM|ArbCom]] candidates? 

&nbsp; If [[WP:CHOICE|you decide]] to participate in this [[exit poll]], the statistical results will be published in the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'', an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership.  There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve [[Wikipedia]] by giving future candidates information about what you think is important.  This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.  

&nbsp; All questions are individually optional, and this entire [[exit poll]] itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero).  Thanks for being a Wikipedian

=== The questionnaire === 
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided.  If you decide ''not'' to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down:  "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is [[Not even wrong|not well-posed]]" / "other: please specify".  Although the ''[[WP:SIGNPOST|Signpost]]'' cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

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]].

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Kimchi.sg. 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. 17:47, 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]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

== Invitation to rejoin the project as an active contributor ==

I note that it has been some years since you've been involved in Wikipedia, beyond some very occasional edits and deletions in response to the inactivity messages left here.  I'd like to see you return.  Administrators who were contributing during the project's growth phase, and hold the trust of the community, are a valuable asset.  I note that you were once quite active in deletion matters and RC patrolling.  You may find the Twinkle and Huggle tools to be of interest as they automate much of the drudgery of that sort of work, making it easier to focus on decision making.  I have links to those, as well as other resources of interest to people returning to the project, available at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators]].  If you do not anticipate returning in the foreseeable future, perhaps you'd like to consider voluntarily resigning your adminship at [[WP:BN]] as there is a growing level of community concern about admin accounts that are effectvely inactive even if they do meet the mechanical requirements of the inactivity policy.

Whatever you decide, thank you for everything you've done for the project.

Best regards,

; Why have I received this message?
: All administrators are receiving it.

; What prompted you to send this message?
: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.  Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.

; What do I need to do?
: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.

; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].

== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|two-factor authentication]] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. 

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered. 

For the Arbitration Committee, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

== Speedy deletion nomination of Delete ==

Hello, Kimchi.sg, 

Welcome to Wikipedia!  I edit here too, under the username [[User:Akhiljaxxn|Akhiljaxxn]], and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged [[Delete]] for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain ''any'' encyclopedic content. You may find our [[Wikipedia:Writing better articles|guide for writing quality articles]] to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in [[Wikipedia:Drafts|draft space]] first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Delete}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span> but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Delete&subtype=delete|deleting administrator}}.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Akhiljaxxn<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And, don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

== 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.

== Imminent 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 several days.

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]].

==Orphaned non-free image File:Paul peek.jpg==
[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|text-top|left|⚠|link=]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Paul peek.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F5|section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].

== Replaceable non-free use File:Darin Damude passport.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Darin Damude passport.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:Darin Damude passport.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text {{Tlx|Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|&lt;your reason>}} '''below''' the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <code>&lt;your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:Darin Damude passport.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Kimchi.sg&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].  If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:di-replaceable non-free use-notice --> -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 07:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
