	A shame it didn't recieve FL status, only due to length, an issue that is strongly argumentative. A sentence (for FLs in general) should be introduced into the criteria, stating that is either is or isn't a requirement. Anyhow, I will continue to work on Harry and the Potters (and discography) and Draco and the Malfoys (discography). The Draco and the Malfoys discography is now formatted the exact same as the Harry and the Potters discography, so it would be good to see these reach FL status and the main Draco and the Malfoys article reach GA.

One of the most prolific FA contributors - {{user\|Cla68}} - found himself amazingly under attack a month ago. Several others are in a bizarre dispute with troublemakers.

Nor, will I fight silly vandalism on those pages. Really, what do I care if a million and a half articles claim the most strange fringe theory as truth and are liberally sprinkled with "Cody is gay" and "dsfaogaoganrg". Will anyone take such an article seriously? Will anyone care? I will work on articles that purely interest me. In the end, if Misplaced Pages collapses under the weight of in fighting, I will at least be enriched by my own reading and research even if Misplaced Pages cares not for it at all. My involvement will be with ] and using my admin tools to keep that clean and to help at FA. I am leaving the dross makers with the dross. Cheers! ] (]) 19:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

	Hi, and welcome to the ]! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".

			Hi!

			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.
	There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

			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.
	* Starting some new articles? Our ] outlines some things to include.

			If you have not seen it before, you can ]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can ] to ].

	Hello, I'm glad you agreed with my comments. There was a mix-up with ] and myself; I had "signed up" to take on the Review, but while I was laboriously writing out my comments for why I thought the article should fail, they commented on the talk page, saying that ''they'' were going to be reviewing the article. I added my comments anyway and removed my name as the reviewer, thinking they would take over, but they never came back; so I'm glad you stepped in. :) Just a note to say sorry for the confusion and I agree with your assessment.

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.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:05, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

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)
