Hi,<br>
:I'm not happy about it, either, as I see no connection to JB196. Le Grand Roi is traveling the next few weeks. That will at least give you all a break from each other. I plan to open a request for comments or mediation involving this whole conflict between various people involved in the pop culture debates.

== A cup of coffee for you! ==
::Paranoid is posting drivel after I replied to one of Rob's posts that we can seek mediation after my trip or just agree to disagree and move on. Not following policies is continuing to post on that discussion after two admins indicated it was resolved. I really hoped to keep the evidence that I had on Rob's proxy editing to myself and to never have to post it here. I even avoided AfDs for two days in the hopes that he would finally ignore me and move on. Now, I have to get my things ready for the trip, but let's just put it this way, if you leave me alone Rob and stop worrying about me and all, then I will not need to reply. If you have any more incivil comments to or about me, keep them to yourself. I'll happily do the same for you if you can finally return respect my way. There is a simple solution. You don't post anything further to or about me and I don't post anything further to or about you. Let's just end it right here and now. Walk away from this post on and let's instead focus on bettering this project. I have a mentor, I correspond with admins for advice and I have greatly improved my editing habits over the past few months. I know we ALL can still improve further, but you have gone about advising me in an overly confrontational way that has helped nothing. Let's just forget about each other. Your posting at ANI was so uncalled for and hurtful after I in good faith offered to agree to disagree and/or seek mediation at a later time and especially after I intentionally avoided AfDs from that point onwards to ease tensions. I really hoped to not have to post in Alkivar's arbitration the evidence I compiled and had you let the matter rest for once, I probably wouldn't have. I didn't do it out of revenge, but just in the hopes that these months of criticizing me, trying to find someone who could punish me because I disagree with you on notability, etc. would finally end. I think you'll find editing this site much better if you just walk away and never think about me again. I will once again offer to ignore you and I hope that you will finally do the same. Sincerely, --<font face="Times New Roman">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 06:41, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
:::I had every right to post that new section, as your behaviour is unacceptable. These recent paranoid accustations are further proof you need better guidance on Misplaced Pages. You wont ignore me and you know it. I nominate things you love, so of course you will commment in them. That's certainly not ignoring. Frankly if I do see your behaviour continue, I will bring it up to a conduct page. I'm not going to ignore an editor that clearly has poor conduct. ] 17:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

(outdent) Bear in mind that Le Grand Roi's evidence supplements material submitted to the Committee via e-mail. The connection is not apparent from the onsite material, nor is it likely to become so. I trust, Chaser, that when you reviewed the case you noticed my offer to provide more information privately to established Wikipedians? The Committee is sensible; if Roi's evidence is spurious then they'll disregard it, and the appropriate location for complaint would be within the arbitration itself where the decision makers are fully informed. ANI, then here? This looks like venue shopping. In the interests of full disclosure, Roi is someone I mentor. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 18:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Chaser for helping out with my user page and for your careful response.


== Meet St. Louis area Wikipedians this Sunday ==
I reread the notability section and do want to add some of the original stuff from the article. (I think I accidentally deleted the text at some point and that’s about when the page was deleted.) Also, I never noticed there was a discussion to delete the page – that requires a level of sophistication using Misplaced Pages that I don’t yet have.


Hello! In finding folks to invite, I noticed that you've been a past organizer of St. Louis Misplaced Pages events. Here's what we're organizing:
The main problem I am having is that artists (and musicians) are not published in the same way as other notable individuals (see the quote below). Tondino’s project’s don’t get a whole lot of coverage (for that matter, nor do most Canadian artists) but are very interesting for their political content. I would like to include and describe some of the more thought provoking and irritating works.


This coming Sunday, July 10th, a group of local Misplaced Pages contributors are getting together for the 2016 St. Louis Wiknic at Laumeier Sculpture Park. It's a low-key social event to chat with other Wikipedians. Grab a dish (or not, that's cool too) and join us! 
I don’t think the notability policy nor policies in general are more than guidelines and because of this opinion I would tend to be much more of an inclusionist. More specifically, I would include Tondino’s page because his views on Irrealism tend to express what I feel is at the core of the Indie movement. Irrealism is all about the gigantic negative space engulfing “certainty” – I think the value of Misplaced Pages is in the expression of that which is not mainstream knowledge – i.e. the negative space – or the outsider’s worldview.


https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Meetup/St._Louis/Wiknic/2016
Again, thank you for getting back to me. ] 14:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


Hope to see you there!

== Extended confirmed protection ==
“The article should document, in a non-partisan manner, what reliable third party sources have published about the subject and, in some circumstances, what the subject may have published about themselves. The writing style should be neutral and factual avoiding both understatement and overstatement. Biographies of living persons should not have trivia sections. Instead, relevant sourced claims should be woven into the article.”


{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Chaser. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
== re: restoring article sabrina belly dancer ==


] (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 ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
dear editor chaser,
i have some links to mentions of sabrina belly dancer to support the article being replaced. please see links below. also, i have a scrap book containing 15 years of performance photos, newspaper articles, magazine cover photo detailing the carer of one of the most famous/award winning bellydancers in america in the 1990s. there will also be an article mentioning her and her charity benefit show in an upcoming publication. if these would help restore the article, i would be happy to scan them and somehow send them to you or upload them and send you a link. most references are in print because she was mostly dancing before the web took off conventinally and has just recently come out of retirement. she never uses a last name professionally and that is why there is no reference to one. she also frequently shares her knowledge of the middle eastern dance business on bhuz.com and can be found under the user name sabrinabellydancer, where she mentors other dancers on line and gives free advice along with other teachers.


In July and August 2016, ] 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:
please feel free to email me via the account linked to my wikipedia user account.
* '''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 ] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating ], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review ] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' ]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.
:I have no idea what article you're referring to. You'll have to clarify that first.--] - ] 07:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


A new user group, ], 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 ]. 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.

--] <sup>] <span class="plainlinks"></span> ]</sup> 23:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


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 ] but very often a friendly custom message works best.

When we function as an adjunct to the news media, as we forcibly must when covering current events, we need to be sensitive to the social ramifications of what we post. Just like we would not publish the names of rape victims unless they had agreed to the publicity so as not to cause unnecessary hurt, we should not publish the pictures of criminals so as not to be co-opted by them into their scheme of using hurt to find glory. Many news media follow that philosophy, and will publish the picture of the crime victim instead of that of the criminal. That seems to me like a good example to follow. ] 23:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

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 ] to "have strong passwords and ]." We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, ] 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.

Hi, Chaser. I'm not sure what level of editorial involvement you are maintaining on the ] article, but could you spare a moment to look at this recent added to the External Link list? It mentions issues the VVAW are involved with, and even quotes VVAW members in the article, so I have no problem with it being in the Links section.

Even if all of the links are relevant, good quality links, is this kind of spam ok? Just a bit curious here, ] (]) 01:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I'm just thrilled that so many decided to nominate me. The outpouring of support has been-- heartwarming. As for the opposes, haven't looked this morning, but it's not because we ran early. It's a legitimate concern caused by the way I phrased myself at AfD. It would have turned up the 1st or next year.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
I am new To Misplaced Pages,

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Chaser. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

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 "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following 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, 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 Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that 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 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 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 thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Chaser.

A new user group, 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 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 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. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Reda Athanasios

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Reda Athanasios, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 18:27, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Icon of a white exclamation mark within a black triangle
 Administrators must secure their accounts

The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

View additional information

Why have I received this message?
All administrators are receiving it.
What prompted you to send this message?
Recently, several Misplaced Pages admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were 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 Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account.
What do I need to do?
Only to follow the instructions in this message.
  1. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
  2. Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
  3. 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.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:40, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

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 required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, 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, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

// </syntaxhighlight> to the bottom of those pages. by putting these tags in comments, it won't prevent the javascript from executing, but it will remove those pages from Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:"_+_"oldafdfull"_+_". alternatively, if you are no longer using the monobook skin (many people are using vector these days) and don't need to keep the old page, you could just have the page deleted. thank you in advance for your help.

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. 20:05, 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)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Information icon Established 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 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 Misplaced Pages: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 the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Draft, Bill Carmody

Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Law. I am seeking feedback on a draft I created about trial attorney Bill Carmody, of Susman Godfrey, who has been profiled in the press several times because of the size and prominence of his cases. I have explained more here: User talk:Backyard116/sandbox/Bill Carmody/Seeking feedback. He’s a personal connection of mine, so impartial advice on notability and neutral point of view would be greatly appreciated. Backyard116 (talk) 15:33, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jeffery Stein crop.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Jeffery Stein crop.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Misplaced Pages use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Misplaced Pages under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --Minorax 07:20, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
