3RRN reportHi Bjelleklang. Thank you very much for your help in ending the harassment by that user. If you don't mind, at the 3RRN report you added the result "blocked", but I think since the filer was blocked, perhaps a mention can be added that it was the filer of the report who got blocked. Thank you again. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 22:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC) Many thanks. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 00:03, 12 January 2015 (UTC) Thank you very muchDear Bjelleklang, I am so relieved about your 3RR decision on 11 January. I have allowed myself to suffer under this editor for the past 12 months, that I ve been editing on WP. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for you to look at things and take action- unlike all the other admins we "petitioned". I didnt look who you are until posting this, but I am not surprised.

Greybull company submissionThanks for taking the time for the notes & suggestions with the rejection Bjelleklang. I've been on a long holiday, but I’d like to keep going and try & get the submission right next time. Sorry to make your job harder by being overambitious. I tried to offer as complete & balanced an article as I could, which was reckless for a first time effort. I've read the link you offered & I think Greybull is notable. I knew nothing about them, but when they were headline news in all papers & on TV last year, I tried to look them up & was surprised that for a company owning such major parts of the UK high street and other business sectors, there was no wiki mention and no business summary visible elsewhere. Re your suggestions; 1) “remove contact info”; That would be their address & company nr? Will do. (other wiki company pages gave HO addresses, so I tried to copy them). I’ll reduce it to ‘of London, England’ 2) “Keep the article short” Agreed, I’ll cut it down. 3) “Remove contents not directly related to the company” OK I see several & will do; (Greybull’s purchases seem often in tandem with another investor, so I thought that relevant – but it’s certainly not vital). 4) “Focus on why Greybull Capital is notable” That’s tricky. I think it is the big companies that it owns which makes Greybull notable. It owns, has shut-down & has rescued household names who are on all main high-streets. I’ll try adding a short heading paragraph at the top, to justify why it is notable. 5) “Find relevant references that primarily discuss the company and not companies they own or the owners of Greybull” I did have a hunt & will look again. But the many articles I’ve read on Greybull concentrate on their current purchases or deal. Little is visible on what the company is. I quoted a journalist’s description of them as being an address with an unmarked bell push on the wall. 6) “Ignore the companies it owns” Hopefully there some leeway allowed here? Unlike normal companies, Greybull seems effectively to be just the sum of the companies it owns. Take away those companies’ details & Greybull (though very big in jobs, business & financially), might just be physically described as email address with a doorbell. 7) [Don’t primarily discuss] “…the owners of Greybull” A journalist said they have a telephonist, but unlike a normal companies of such high value, Greybull appears to be effectively just its 3 owners. Yet it is a company owning & controlling £100M’s of UK business, so the ownership does seems important. I appreciate transient shareholders are not relevance to most companies, but Greybull is an investment vehicle for its 3 owners.
So could I ask 3 questions before I try a resubmission? 1) Do you think it would be acceptable to keep the companies it owns in the current heading format? (I’ll reduce the entry sizes) 2) If so, can we keep the 4 smaller companies on the list (I’ll try & reduce their single sentence entries). Happy to remove them if asked, but it seems to me that the interest here is that Greybull runs huge companies when it co-ordinates other investors; but it also owns outright & runs medium size ones itself. These smaller companies are also of serious size (£5M companies / or employing 400 / or dominating their business sector) 3) This company is unusual & as an investment & management vehicle for its 3 owners, so is it OK to keep some of the ownership part in. I think owners might themselves be described as notable, giving national TV & journalist interviews. But I’ll aim to halve the 6 paragraphs in this part.

Advices on EU research and innovation for the environment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:EU_research_and_innovation_for_the_environmentHi and thanks for your comments. I have 2 quick questions for you: 1. how can I change the title? it seems almost impossible to do that 2. as you advised I would like to add a kind of synopsis right after the title and before the content.

Sharon Davsonhello, Thank you for your advice and assistance. i understand most of what you are striving to achieve and will continue to do my best to work withinthe guidelines. With regard to the things at the top of the article, there was only a very brief stud article here in December 2014, so all references to things that date from 2010-2014, are no longer relevant to the article that has been generated in recent weeks. The article is in a prose format. It has citations for verification. It is not an orphan. I am an artist and know the work of the subject. I understand the prose to be mostly information written in the style of other Wikipedia entries I have studied. The article is full of real information. Putting up these blatant headings above this article is very discouraging has the feeling that there is some other motive other than reviewing the current article that has been generated without the former article being there in any form. All the very best, ~~Joan~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joan Silver (talk • contribs) 09:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Gary CooperThank you for this warning on JimMacAllistair's talk page, but I do not think it will do any good. His edits on other articles follow the same pattern. Regarding your AN3 comment, please correct this statement: "You're both currently at three reverts each ..." I reverted this editor only twice, not three times, in the past 24 hours: here and here.

I will post it here if you don't mind. @Prhartcom: You somehow "forgot" to mention three very important points.
You're trying to manipulate an admin by pretending to be a learner while where you were heading was obvious right from the beginning. The reason is quite obvious (you do your "friend" a favour and expect one in return, just like you did before). Who cares about what the others have to say so long as you get what you want. @Bjelleklang: I contacted Nick yesterday and predicted exactly what Prhartcom was trying to achieve with his "innocent" question. He assured me that you are an experienced admin and that I should trust your judgement (which I do), however, I thought you might like to know all the facts before making any decision.

Celia Berrell - OBJECTION to deletion as not NotableHello, Celia Berrell is a very notable poet. very few poets ever get published. She has her work in the High School Text books in Three Countries - Australia, Ireland and Canada. Education institutions in those countries consider her work worth studying by their students. She is also an 'approved resource' for the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in the UK. She is also regularly published in the CSIRO Magazine - a national magazine for those interested in science related matters. This is extremely rare for a poet. She has received a grant and had a large body of work vetted by the James Cook University in Queensland. She has a book of her poems published, and many more attributes. i understood by adding this and working on her site, the potential 'deletion' would be removed as I had also logged an objection while editing and improving the content. Berrell is becoming one of Australia's most notable poets. The references on the site all attest to the notability Sarah Thinking 26 (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Sarah Thinking 26Sarah Thinking 26 (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC) ~~Sarah thinking26~~

You want to talk reliable, for god sakes, there are 50 web sites that list titles and episode numbers for every TV show and movie out there. They do not always jive with each other.

Protection errorNot sure what to make of your statement at WP:RFPP, but I think you made a mistake somewhere. Robert McClenon requested 2-3 days of semiprotection for WP:RDS, and you responded with "Template protected for 3 months" and followed up by saying why you thought it ought to be semiprotected. (1) Which protection level did you intend to use? (2) Which page were you intending to protect? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Wikipedia%3AReference+desk%2FScience shows no protections since last month. (3) All this makes me wonder if you were actually responding to a different request, or if your message accidentally got garbled in some way. Nyttend (talk) 20:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
Uniquark9Thank you for taking action to protect the Xiongnu page due to the edit warring of Uniquark9. You may wish to know, however, that this is a pattern of behavior for this user. He frequently blanks his talk page to hide all the other warnings and notices placed there. He was blocked in December for using a sock account in an edit war. There was a complaint against him placed on the ANI board recently. Distressingly, that has now been archived with no action taken, despite every user participating in the discussion being for some sort of sanction, including a topic ban. It is baffling to me that no admin took further action against this user. Everywhere he goes he edit wars, causes disruption, is abrasive to other users, and likely engages in sock puppetry. I encourage you to review this recent complaint. Protecting one page from his disruption is simply not enough. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 01:49, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

FWIW, I'm not out for blood or to get anyone punished. Rather, I would just like to know what is the preferred course of action in such situations just in case I am faced with the same thing in the future. Anyway, here is what happened. This post was added to the thread by Wikimandia and I posted this in response. Later on, 24.79.36.94 inserted this comment in between the Wikimandia's post and my reply, which makes it seem as if I was replying to both editors even though I wasn't. Thinking this was done by accident, I moved the 24.79.36.94's post to the end of the thread per WP:TPG#Fixing layout errors and them left a note explaining what I did and why. I was, however, reverted by the 24.79.36.94 with the edit sum "it was where I intended it to be, the bold makes them distinct enough". Did I overreact and make a big deal out of nothing? Was it inappropriate for me to move 24.79.36.94's post to ensure proper chronological and contextual order? Again, this is intended to be for my own future reference and is not at all to be seen as a complaint against another editor. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly (talk) 07:27, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

While there are people / performers who could be called 'inflammists' (I know some) there are not any reliable sources to back up this. I would agree with your suggestion to delete this article (because additionally there are no mainstream dictionary definitions I have found for the term). However it would be good to add to / change the Pyrotechnic article to include information re the use of fire and hand held fireworks.

Incorrect COI tag in 53rd Syedna succession controversy (Dawoodi Bohra)This is as a gentle reminder for the COI related proofs given on my talk page on your request, the user ruqn has proven close connection to one of the claimants namely Mufaddal and to undermine the contents of the article he has put the COI tag eventhough he is not a major contributor to that article. I am a major contributor to the article and the tag indirectly accuses me of COI. The contents of that article were not just written unopposed but only after a thorough discussion with 3rd party editors on the talk page and the article was also reviewed later. The article sufficiently cites the various articles relevant to the controversy hence I find no reason to have a COI tag. No other 3rd party editors involved in the article since inception have agreed to addition of the tag, inspite of repeated calls.Summichum (talk) 05:50, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Dear Bjelleklang, I'm writing regarding the rejection of my entry on Douglas L. Miller. Thank you for your time in reviewing this entry. I'm very puzzled, however, as to why Mr. Miller is not considered worthy of inclusion, especially after I revised the entry with the first reviewer's comments in mind. I hope you can help me either improve the entry or you will reconsider it. I'm a professional journalist, and I've done a lot of work for nonprofits, including Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus of Grameen Bank. I've met a lot of brilliant people in my work, but I am astounded by how much Mr. Miller has accomplished and his bold goals. I believe Mr. Miller's work, like that of Yunus, is potentially world-changing. Most people I know don't even know what venture philanthropy is. And Mr. Miller has indeed worked to keep a low profile himself. Philanthropists tend to keep quiet, or everyone is asking them for money. However, he is quoted by no less than Harvard Business Review and numerous other sources as one of the world's leading pioneers of venture philanthropy (see my entry). This field is relatively new but growing rapidly all over the world, in large part thanks to him. As I indicated in the entry, he is responsible for almost 400 organizations donating money or professional services to needy non-profits. There is no one who has done more for the field. As a journalist, I appreciate the need to distinguish "notable" people from others. But in a culture that increasingly declares people as "celebrities" when they have done pretty much nothing except appear on television, isn't it important to recognize those who are actually out there trying to improve the world? Your readers would benefit tremendously from this entry, as many may either want to contribute to this cause or could benefit from it. I look forward to your response. (Also, please note, for some strange reason I could not even see your review until recently.) Thank you again, MaBranca (talk) 10:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

I am given to understand that the page was again deleted in March 2015 based on a deletion article published in 2012.

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:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Your inappropriate comments on my talk pageMultiple editors have objected to the inclusion of the content at issue, which is on its face sensationalist garbage. A single user wishes to restore it, claiming a spurious consensus. That editor, User:Holanthony, has a long history of problematic edits to biographies. See, for example, this ANI discussion [[10]], where Holanthony made similarly spurious complaints about reversion of their improper edits, only to have the complaint WP:BOOMERRANG and the discussion closed with a warning "that further edits posing BLP problems are likely to lead to sanctions". Sourcing biographies with tabloid garbage is unacceptable, whether the article subject is living or dead. Supporting an editor who plainly "clearly lack[s] a basic understanding of a number of polices (not limited to just BLP). Including accusations of child molesting against non-notable people in a BLP? When no charges were even brought?" (to quote just one comment in that ANI) is particularly unacceptable for an administrator. Look before you leap. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

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 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.

I see that it is a long time since you have edited at any Wikimedia site, and nothing here for over two years. WP:INACTIVITY suggests that 12 months is a time from which an admin could be desysopped for inactivity, and you are at twice that. In light of the security issues that have existed, I am wondering whether it is worthwhile your continuing to hold rights during hiatus from editing and administration. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:35, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom 2019 special circular
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 03:00, 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) Central Park

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:35, 1 January 2022 (UTC) How we will see unregistered usersHi! 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) 18:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC) WP:AFC Helper NewsHello!

You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years. Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with 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 Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with 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 00:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC) Job Done
