	I am the contributor to an article entitled "Andrea Elizabeth Michaels" that was deleted this week. I am contacting you because you marked the article for deletion after a deletion review. I have been out of the office and did not know the review was taking place. The reason for the deletion was that Andrea Elizabeth Michaels was not "noteworthy" enough to be included in Misplaced Pages. In the event production industry, Ms. Michaels is known world-wide. Yes, she self-published her book, but she has been the topic of three other books.
			#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.
	In the deletion review, a comment was made that she couldn't be found in a google search. However, her article was supported with approximately 50 endnotes with references to her in articles, newspapers, books, magazines, Web sites, etc. All of them can be found on google.

			== ] 2007 deletion discussion ==
	It was also commented that I am probably a one-time only contributor who has a conflict of interest. So not true. As a newbie to Misplaced Pages, it took me so long to learn all the rules and regulations and to successfully get this article completed. Unfortunately, I do other work which pulled me away from contributing to Misplaced Pages, but I fully intend to contribute more, now that I understand how. This article is not a conflict of interest for me, because I have been writing for trade publications that address the event production industry for 25 years, and my focus is on all the personalities in that industry. Andrea Michaels is just one of the pioneers and outstanding leaders in that industry.

	:::Discussing it with Dravecky might be a good idea. Though I have no opinion one way or the other, (if I did I would have !voted not closed) you should consider the possibility that he might be right. As for the AFD, I took a second look and "no consensus" was the correct call. When participants in an AFD start counting the number of sentences or words in a source, it's unlikely that there will be an agreement about what constitutes "significant". --] (]) 21:09, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I've reviewed the information regarding notability and he definitely qualifies. He's an award-winning (2 Emmys, in addition to other awards and nominations) international correspondent as well as a published author. He resides in the United States and his career has been mostly here in the States. I would appreciate your assistance to understand the decision to remove him.

Request for undeletion

@Ron Ritzman: Hey, I am just writing in regards to the article Justin Frazier. They won't let me undelete the article on the request page so I am just writing you here. I am well versed with the MMA notability requirements and this subject fits the current criteria for notability. Thanks in advance HeinzMaster (talk) 16:20, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Joe mama

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Joe mama, to Misplaced Pages. Doing so is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

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. 5a5ha seven (talk | contribs) 21:45, 23 March 2021 (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.

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.
