Protection of files you uploadedGreetings. I've seen you've uploaded a few local files File:Button align left.png, File:Button code.png, File:Button definition list.png, File:Button sub link.png and File:Button shifting.png and edit protected them. Generally though, upload and edit protection is all that is needed for such local high risk safety files, seeing as actually editing the filepage text has no effect on the images. The full protection is further making maintenance of filepage information harder.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:32, 7 March 2016 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Sanilac PetroglyphsHello Brian0918, I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sanilac Petroglyphs for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [[{{{article}}}]].

Do you know why you would have included this battle on this infobox? Rowlett and Munfordville are definitely not in Eastern Kentucky, and this battle doesn't seem to be connected to the rest of the Eastern Kentucky battles listed. I've started a discussion at Talk:Battle of Rowlett's Station#"Operations in Eastern Kentucky", and any comments you can contribute there would be appreciated. Thanks! cmadler (talk) 01:36, 22 June 2016 (UTC) ContestsUser:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:13, 21 July 2016 (UTC) File:Button headline2.png listed for discussion![]() A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Button headline2.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion.

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. Two-Factor Authentication now available for adminsHello, 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. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 20:34, 12 November 2016 (UTC) A new user right for New Page PatrollersHi Brian0918. 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. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC) ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!Hello, Brian0918.
