This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.Note to other administrators. You are free to respond to queries on any of my previous administrative actions on my behalf. This includes reopening/overturning AFD closes.

Note to administrators. You are free to undo any of my administrative actions once. I will not consider it wheel warring if you have a good reason. Note to all editors. 75% of you are probably better editors then I am. If you disagree with an edit I make, feel free to revert and discuss. If I'm uncivil or otherwise violating a policy/guideline then let me know. (but please don't use a template aside from this one )

It appears that there is no reason to continue any future information pertaining to the Street King energy shots. Not only has their website disappeared but all of the major retailers including Walmart, Walgreens, and Dollar General have discontinued carrying their products. I can not get an explanation from any of the distributors so evidently they have just quietly fallen off of the planet.

Undeletion request

A few years ago, you deleted the article on Um Vichet following this AfD. Could I get you to restore the article? According to this, Vichet has since played for the Cambodia national football team, meaning he now meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Thanks in advance. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:50, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

== Undeletion request == Hey Ron back in 2009 you have deleted or restricted a page "Muhammad Shaikh" for indefinite period. Could I get you to restore the article please? I wanted to re create this page and update it with some latest infromation since he is a renown muslim Scholar. What was the reason for deletion.

Kindly let me know how can you help me. thanks Alam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alammohammedm (talk • contribs) 23:24, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Ron Ritzman. 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.
