Orphaned non-free image File:Wymtlogo.jpegThanks for uploading File:Wymtlogo.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Invitation to join soon to be formed Kentucky Wikimedians User GroupHello William, Kentucky Wikimedian User Group, an independent affiliate of Wikimedia Foundation, is being formed to provide outreach and assistance to individuals and organizations in Kentucky who want to create and improve Wikipedia content. User groups are an easy way for Wikipedians to better organize in order to collaborate with other local Wikipedians or local institutions. The requirements for establishing and running them are quite simple. The main requirement is to have 3 people agree to join and share their contact information with Wikimedia Foundation. As one of the most active Wikipedians from Kentucky, I would be pleased to have you be one of the founding members of the user group. To join the group, sign on meta here.

Don AvivHi Willkin1979, A few years ago I created a Wikipedia entry for a friend of mine, Don Aviv. It was deleted because he wasn't significant enough. He'd like to try again now--he has since founded a company and appears often on TV as an expert on security. He asked me for a copy of that old page. But I can't access it. I saw your handle listed as someone that will help non-admin users view deleted content. I'm hoping you can send me the content of the deleted Don Aviv page? I think it was deleted around 2011. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give me. Best regards, C. Hampton — Preceding unsigned comment added by New york art editor (talk • contribs) 20:34, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protectionHello, Willking1979. 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. The Signpost: 29 September 2016

--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:41, 8 November 2016 (UTC) 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) 20:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC) A new user right for New Page PatrollersHi Willking1979. 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.
