			<section begin=content/>
	It is a proposed treaty only. The US has consistently resisted signing it and that is the main obstacle preventing it from getting ratified.
			Hi!

			You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
	It is still notable for this reason just as the Moon Treaty is notable. Definitely needs a separate article.

			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.
	The existing article was short and inadequate, and it is no wonder the AfD came to the conclusion it is probably not a real treaty. I'm willing to do some work to improve it. ] (]) 15:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

			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 ] to help.

	Hi there! I'm currently doing some research into Doctor Who related spin-off media, and came across a very, VERY useful page. Unfortunately, it seems to have been deleted at some point in late 2011. The only version I've come across is from 2010, and while this has been a great resource to me, ideally I'd like to view the 2011 as the slightly more up-to-date information contained within would come in very handy for me. Do you know what I would have to do in order to obtain the last incarnation of the page before its deletion? Thank you so much for your time. ] (]) 12:31, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

	== Ed Alleyne-Johnson - Page Deletion ==

	Hi Ron,

	Although I use Misplaced Pages regularly and update articles where appropriate, I have never come across a page being deleted through a process. I searched for "Ed Alleyne-Johnson" page but was surprised that the page did not exist, the artist is relatively well known, he played with New Model Army for a number of years and did his own solo sets as support for them. I did, however, find the text of the deleted Misplaced Pages page elsewhere. It is not the best page on Wiki but the content is not unreasonable. From my knowledge of the artist I can't see any information that is untrue. He had an album (Purple Electric Violin Concerto) in the top 100 in the UK in around 1992 I see that 80,000 copies is quoted, I can't vouch for the number but a number of thousands of copies would have been sold. I have seen your response to somebody else who requested undeletion and noted that you would not undelete but welcomed a new page.

	I am writing to seek a compromise, I'd be happy to work with the deleted page, if I was able to edit it, to add content and references and also add links to supporting material. Would you consider undeleting for a period (say 2 weeks) to enable me to do so. I see that not many/any people commented on the proposed deletion at the time but that does not necessarily mean that the information wasn't helpful to people who use Misplaced Pages and help develop the content.

	The trouble with Ed is that, whilst he is an established musician he busks in the UK which people may feel devalues him, after all Wiki shouldn't include pages on any old busker. Out of interest and to give you a feel for the support the artis has his performance of one of the tracks from the charted album has over 2m views. I know that Youtube views aren't everything but this number does seem to demonstrate that the artist has a following across the world.

	I hope you will consider this request. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:10, 15 May 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	Thanks for your response(above), I think a review is appropriate in the circumstances. I have looked at the Wiki instructions and started to follow them, copying the link from the review page. I can't work out what detail to put in the gaps, (I presume text needs to go after the 3 "=" signs in the template? Can you help?

	I have copied the template below, for reference, and have included my user name so you can check me out if you wished. The questions are

	(1) what is the "page" is it the title of the original Wiki page or a link to it? Or is it the deletion discussion page

	(2) what is the xfd_page is this the title of the link to the original page?

	(3) I presume the reason is self explanatory and the reasoning goes after the third "="

	(4) How do I preview what I am posting in plain rather then HTML type text?

	(5) How do I ensure the review is posted in the right place?

	(6) Is there an easier way?

	(7) I have searched Wiki and the web for simple instructions and have failed dismally, it there an idiots guide? I put myself in this category, sorry if the questions are stupid.

He was a member of the band New Model _Army for a period, he played with them and also had his own solo set. The deletion was based upon the artist not fitting the criteria for inclusion on Misplaced Pages, the original article was not the best (but certainly not the worst. I will review the page and edit if the article is relisted following this review Jamiller63 (talk) 10:15, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

	Thanks for your help, I think I have done it. Would you mind having a quick look, I have referred to our opening correspondence? What's the next step? Last thing, in writing to you I am conscious that I am starting a new topic every time rather than responding to you. I guess you are bringing the conversation together. For the future how would I simply reply to adding to the discussion as you have done. The YouTube video is worth a view, if you haven't seen it.

	== Strong keep - Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran's profile ==

	Strong keep - Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran's profile is highly notable in India. India is already hideously under-represented in WikiBios. Such articles should be encouraged. Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran, despite heading some of the most famous US universities like Harvard, had a distinguished academic career as teacher and scientist. True notable people like him always seem to be left out on Wiki! because the person has received significant coverage in reliable sources as a philanthropist; hence the topic passes for publishing.The subject is clearly notable from the sources (URLs) listed.The sources as references, which I've checked, are more than enough to rescue the article. Individual claims are a matter of normal editing. The sources (URLs)provided can be briefly quoted if more is needed.I urge very strongly to keep the article . As a person of article, he has already earned enough to be in the pages of Misplaced Pages by now. Remember, Misplaced Pages is not a pulp newspaper that keeps deleting or 'forgetting' articles as someone just feels like.Those who want to recommend this page to be deleted have neither a vision about Misplaced Pages nor an idea about the very reasons why the page should be there. It is not because the person has become a 'superstar human being' or an eternal soul, but due to the very viral NOTABILITY he aquired (and continues to aquire) through his calibre. He has singlehandedly strived, succeeded and proved that it is possible to contemplate and execute such research projects for humanity.

	:You shouldn't solicit for votes per ]. I take the view that the reason Indian topics are underrepresented is because the Indians who write them write in broken English, and often very promotionally, both of which are delete magnets at AfC and AfD.

	== WTF Does this guy think he is? ==

	Deletes people for no reason. Just look at all the people he deleted? No wonder people make fun of Misplaced Pages. I was deleted for being a "fictitious person" what a joke. This is probably some angry guy getting back at people? I don't know. Seems like a personal problem to me.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

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 better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have 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 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. /Johan (WMF)

Hyatt Regency Birmingham 2007 deletion discussion

This discussion appeared to have ended in delete as called by User JoshuaZ. Why did you mark it as "Keep" on the talk page in 2009? Was there another deletion discussion later over the resurrected page? I am not disputing your good faith in handling this at the time, but something clearly went awry which does need disentangling.Romomusicfan (talk) 09:19, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Established 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 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 Misplaced Pages: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 the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
