Ways to improve Nick Phoenix
[edit]Hi, I'm Markdask. HelloAnnyong, thanks for creating Nick Phoenix!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This person does not appear on Google since 2011 "Lord of Death" on "Extreme music". With respect - Mr. Phoenix is in the category of (2) hit wonders.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

ArbCom 2019 special circular
[edit] |
Administrators must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:33, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
[edit]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)
Nomination of Jonah Smith for deletion
[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonah Smith (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
[edit]A 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. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
How we will see unregistered users
[edit]Hi!
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)

New administrator activity requirement
[edit]The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
- Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
- Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period
Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.
22:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
[edit]
Established policy provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to re-engage 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 08:53, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Translation request for Japanese Wikipedia: WiTricity
[edit]Hello! On behalf of WiTricity and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I've shared a draft entry for Japanese Wikipedia, which is a translated version of the English Wikipedia article. I'm searching for an editor who is willing to review this draft and update the entry appropriately. Might you be willing to take a look? Thanks for your consideration.

- The draft has been reviewed and the entry has been updated. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:37, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
- The edit was reverted by someone who hasn't responded to my request for an explanation. Perhaps they do not understand I was given permission by implement the draft by another editor. Are you able to take a look at the draft, or are you aware of a place at Japanese Wikipedia for me to seek assistance? Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 19:12, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Please undelete Emergency Pharmacy System. You did not specify any valid reason for speedy deletion. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- So done. There was a CSD reason on it, but I think I forgot to carry it through on the deletion. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 03:51, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Are you able to restore this? User requesting it deleted has moved it back to draft despite it being part of a 3rd AfD discussion. The results of the 2nd nomination was to draftify despite user requesting it to not be deleted. Seems like they are circumventing the process and without the AfD running its course, I fear the draft will just be moved back to mainspace and we will be back for a fourth time.

- Wait, I don't understand why you would want to restore it. The user who created the page moved it to draft, and then asked to delete the redirect. That's pretty clear CSD G7, as well as R2. If anything I would think we should salt the page from being recreated. Either way, it looks like the creator is blocked for a month as well. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 04:51, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks and I appreciate your response. I guess I was just thinking I was following the correct process of going through the end of the deletion discussion (which is still open). If you want to close the discussion and salt the page I would be MORE than grateful as it would solve the issue.--CNMall41 (talk) 04:55, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
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.
Kind Regards,
