Welcome If you are here with questions about an article I have deleted or a copyright concern, please consider first reading my personal policies with regards to deletion and copyright, as these may provide your answer. While you can email me to reach me in my volunteer capacity, I don't recommend it. I very seldom check that email account. If you do email me, please leave a note here telling me so or I may never see it. I hardly ever check that account. To leave a message for me, press the "new section" or "+" tab at the top of the page, or simply click here. Remember to sign your message with ~~~~. I will respond to all civil messages. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply; I will leave you a "talkback" notice if you request one and will generally try to trigger your automatic notification even if you don't. (I sometimes fail to be consistent there; please excuse me if I overlook it.) If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it, but I would nevertheless appreciate it you could trigger my automatic notification. {{Ping}} works well for that. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, feel free to approach me here. Admins, if you see that I've made a mistake, please fix it.

Reaching me

During my current work interim position, I have found myself with not a lot of spare time that isn't consumed by family. I can go long periods without logging in to Wikipedia. If you have an urgent note for me here, please consider alerting me via email at mdenniswikimedia.org. (This is my work email address, and I do not mix work and volunteering, but mailing that address makes sure I will see it promptly, usually within a day.) If not urgent, I'll come by as soon as I can, and I heartily welcome talk page stalkers. :) Oh, I have discovered that sometimes when people don't tell me it's a volunteer contact, I have handled it with the wrong hat on. Please make which "me" you want clear!

Protection on Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content

Hello! I just wanted to quickly ask if you would object to lowering the protection on Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content from full protection down to a level that would allow others to make minor bold changes. In particular, the editnotice on the page even says "While you may be bold in making minor changes to this page, you should be extremely cautious about making substantive changes", but this is not possible due to full protection since 2009. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 03:01, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I'm probably way too late to be useful to you here, EggRoll97. Sorry about that! I'm not sure if this has been considered by community or a decision made, but I think it probably ought to be a consensus consideration. My thought is simply this - that particular page is a contract between Wikipedia's editors and reusers, and serious errors can lead to very serious ramifications for people who take that page on good faith and think they are complying. The Wikipedia:General disclaimer is fully protected for a very similar reason, as explained at Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Permanent_protection. However, that policy does not say whether "Reusing Wikipedia content" IS among "Pages that should not be modified for legal reasons" - which is why I think consensus is appropriate. But I myself think it is. Again, very sorry for my delay. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Do you remember User:GrahamBould?

Hello Moonriddengirl,

You may be interested in this discussion at WP:CCI, involving edits by User:GrahamBould, whom you were involved with around 2009. A lot of their problematic edits had been dealt with by you and other volunteers at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods/Subpage for organizing CopyVio Cleanup, but some that you missed have now resurfaced. One article had most of its revision history deleted yesterday (1251 revisions spanning 18 years), and there are about 1700 articles that may be affected. legal@wikimedia.org has been made aware, as suggested today at WP:AN, but maybe you can remember what happened back then (as you appear to be the only editor who was involved in 2009, and who is at least somewhat active as of 2024), and how to best proceed. Thank you! Renerpho (talk) 06:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

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,

WMF Research Team
