Thank you for visiting my talk page. I will use my best judgment as to if I should reply to comments here, on your talk page, or somewhere else. Occasionally I may dual reply both here and on your talk page. Please place new sections at the bottom of the page and sign all your comments by placing 4 tildes (~~~~) in a row. I will archive my talk page every 100 topics.
Administrators will no longer be autopatrolledA 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. 20:07, 7 December 2021 (UTC)  The article Darrick Brilz has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. 0qd (talk) 04:36, 27 December 2021 (UTC) Administrators' newsletter – January 2022News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2021).
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) Administrators' newsletter – February 2022News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2022).

Oregon State University College of Liberal Arts Deletion NoticeArticle: Oregon State University College of Liberal Arts Wiki editor: Elkevbo Notification: Article to be Deleted in 7 days Hi VegaDark. I need your help. I feel like the Oregon State University College of Liberal Arts page is unfairly under attack. You will need to come to your own opinion, but I believe Elkevbo has placed an unwarranted notice for deletion on the OSU College of Liberal Arts page. I would appreciate your assistance, as a second set of eyes to review my statements and Elkevbo's responses in the the Talk page of this article. Thank you in advance for a fair assessment of the need for a threat of deletion and any improvement you feel could be made to this article. Elkevbo is using an argument of the college not being "notable". I disagree and don't really understand his logic. Thank you.

Invitation to participate in a researchHello, The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey. You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement . Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
