| It was added to the 'Recent Achievements' sections !!!! Makes your statement above look absurd(downright stupid actually) | |||
| Or ar you deliberatly mischevious. Find a better section if you have an absolute need to include this. | |||
| :The section was badly named and I've now fixed that. Misplaced Pages has a neutrality policy and the article should contain both positive and negative facts as long as they are verifiable. The result was a major shock and is perhaps even more significant than the loss to Calley several seasons ago. For your information, the text about the cup loss was originally added by a Celtic fan, you can see his reply to my comment about it in the section above this post entitled ''Sad day for Celtic Fans''. --] ] 19:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Prussian Blue Link == | |||
| I think the link to the radio program is relevant to the article, and your basis for removing it (due to its being an MP3) is at the very least legitimately debatable. I do not feel strongly enough about it to revert (and I don't think it would be a productive way to make my point) but I think it should be discussed further on the the Prussian Blue talk page. I would like to hear other opinions. | |||
| Meanwhile: why did you accuse me of putting up a link to a "commercial" site, and why did you imply on my talk page that this was a link to my own personal site? This is baseless and completely uncalled for. The link is neither commercial nor personal. This isn't spam. We simply have different editorial opinions. Care to talk more productively about this? Thanks. ] 19:38, 9 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Firstly, the message was a standard template ({{tl|Spam1}}), it doesn't always fit all situations exactly. It is a general warning about external links. | |||
| :I have made my position known on the talk page already and don't see any point in adding to it at the moment. I will keep an eye on it though. If the consensus of regular editors is to include the link, I will not stand in the way of it being added back. I would also like to commend your actions in posting to the talk page, rather than just adding the link back. --] ] 19:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: Thank you for clarifying that for me. I am rather new to all of this and am still learning the ropes, as it were. I can see now that I was taking something personally that was not personal at all. :-) As for the link, I agree that getting into an editing battle is in bad form. I care about reaching a consensus and respect other opinions. Cheers. ] 16:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == mischevious == | |||
| you are clearly using this page in a non-neutral way. Going so far as to change the heading when to suit your original 'argument' which had been exposed as nonsense. you are the vandal. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia not a fansite. | |||
| You are unsuitable in the roll of moderator | |||
| :No, having only a section for achievements, without one for losses/disappointments would not be neutral. Naming it "Recent seasons" instead of "Recent achievements" encourages neutrality in the article. Removing information about a major loss is inducing a positive point of view to the article. You will note that I have not removed the information about a major loss that you added to the Rangers article. Such an event certainly deserves mention and if somebody were to remove it, I would add it back. --] ] 20:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == pathetic == | |||
| Firstly you had no right to accuse me of vandalism - I have read the policy. Your continued reverting to the previous versions meant the text wsa quite wrong - I repeat, in no way could it be considered an achievement for celtic. My revisions were correct until you moved the goalposts. Your current 'argument' is lame. You could not admit that you were wrong to keep incluiding this in the 'achievments' section which i repeatedly pointed out to you . When the penny dropped you changed the title with some lame reasoning. I question your motives. | |||
| == record aggregate defeat... == | |||
| You wrote last night - "You will note that I have not removed the information about a major loss that you added to the Rangers article. Such an event certainly deserves mention and if somebody were to remove it, I would add it back." | |||
| You will note that the text has now been removed by Neilson. I await you reverting to the original. | |||
| Hi Graeme, | |||
| Unfortunatley I was left a message about this by an anon on my talk page. Its a fact, and verifiable, but is is worth including? Neither more nor less so than the record Euro win (Famagusta, Vladikavkaz?) and that's not there either. Cheers. ] 08:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :I've been without a computer for several days, so sorry about taking so long to reply. My personal opinion is that the information on Rangers record European defeat does merit inclusion. It's verifiable and if record wins are recorded, ] says that record defeats should have a place too. --] ] 18:41, 14 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :That's not to say I think your pictures are bad, quite the opposite from the pages I looked at.

| Hello GraemeL, | |||
| you have probably discussed about this subject earlier...but please read this and be honoust to us and yourself! | |||
| --- | |||
| When you're watching magic and see the magician is doing something unbelievable, most people are really curious how the magic is done. | |||
| At that moment everything is still fine...BUT then comes someone (website, television or a person) who tells you the secret of the magic that has been performed for years and years. | |||
| "Ok, well what a great magicians...come on I don't want to see anymore magic, they just fool us and it's a waste of time watching something that trickery!" | |||
| BOOM...byebye magic business! | |||
| Believe me, it really hurts when I perform on an occasion of one of my customers and someone in the audience calls: "HEY GUYS I KNOW THIS ONE, IT WORKS LIKE blablablabla". | |||
| And I think my customers are also not very happy when they hear that the magician is not as good as he thought, at least that's what he thinks!! | |||
| And he will never hire a magician anymore, because "well you know, all that magic is fake and more and more people know how it's done. | |||
| --- | |||
| I hope this little message gets you thinking about exposing magic on Misplaced Pages, the Misplaced Pages concept is great but I think that secrets like "zombie ball" (that's why you sent me a message) shouldn't be opened for public domain. | |||
| So please think this over and feel a little connection between you and the magic world. | |||

| "There are two types of wikispam: advertisements masquerading as articles, and wide-scale external link spamming. Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. Wikispam articles are usually noted for sales-oriented language and external links to a commercial website. A differentiation should be made between spam articles and legitimate articles about commercial entities, however." | |||

| It would seem fair to leave such information since it is part of Canadian History and that is the reason why I added it. It might seem like it was a joke but I can assure you it is historical fact. It is well known in many Canadian academic circles that this is one of the historical explanations and that is why I added it. There are many historical origins that are quite unbelievable but still factual, although at first glance maybe hard to digest. However, history is not something that is to be edited, but rather accepted as it is since that is the way it happened. I am not aware of any online research on this subject. Here are my comments again: "Another theory on where the name ''Canada'' came from is it was a misspelling of an indian pronouncement. Originally the first pioneers to encounter the indian inhabitants asked what the name of the land was and it was spelled for them. As it was spelled the miscommunication was the vowels of "a" inbetwen each consonant. The indian language did not use vowels and as they spelled out the land name the miscommunication occurred. First they said "C" eh? and then "N" eh? and then "D" eh? and the pioneers thought that they had spelled Canada but in actuality they had only spelled "CND" which is the actual original spelling and sound of the country. It is supposed to be pronounced as "Cund".] 16:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC) | |||

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:28, 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)
Proposed deletion of File:Ncv3nx.png
The file File:Ncv3nx.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused, low-res, no obvious use
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
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)

New administrator activity requirement
The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
- Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
- 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.

It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

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.
