	== Merger crazyness ==		== Re: Administrative tools ==
			While I am honored to be considered as possible admin material, I'm going to have to politely decline. My main editing focuses are on article writing (for a very small group of subjects), copyediting and the Online print archive. I've never found myself in need of the admin tools while performing these tasks. Standard admin work—such as vandal fighting, backlog clearing and general maintenance—has never been my forté. On top of that, I have a fluctuating off-Misplaced Pages writing schedule, which can and has caused me to leave Misplaced Pages—without warning—for long periods of time. I have tremendous respect for the guys with the mop and bucket, but it just isn't for me. Sorry. ] (]) 08:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
	Hey, sorry I haven't been around the past few days. My computer broke (and remains broken) while other issues conspired to keep me busy. Anyway, don't take the backlash from the merges so hard and don't try to feel responsible for the hastiness and ultimate fiasco. You never got over-excited or pushed over-zealously (from what I saw) so it's not right that you take the fall for it. Oh well, it looks like it's mostly over now. Let's quit whining and build an encyclopedia! ] 03:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
			*You make a convincing point. However, I still say that adminship wouldn't suit me. I prefer to work in quiet corners of Misplaced Pages, and avoid hot button issues and serious problems; I leave them to the people "in charge", so to speak. However, if I possessed the admin tools—even if I didn't use them often—I would be obligated to act in such situatons. Being on call just isn't my style. I'm honored that you asked, and I realize that RfA is having problems, but I'm really not the guy for the job. Again, I apologize. It looks like Guyinblack25 and PresN are interested, though. They're both great editors, and shouldn't have any problem passing. ] (]) 08:18, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
	== An amusing tidbit... ==		== Re: Hey there... 2 ==
			How dire is the situation? As you noticed, I'm technically semi-retired, but still edit a fair amount here and there. I placed the tag there more as a notice of my erratic free time. Because of that, however, I've focused on article writing more and more (sigh... one day we'll have a real compendium of video game history), helping out with project matters when it looks like it is needed. If there is a real need for more admins, even ones that may do very little with the tools, then I can apply. But I have the feeling that I won't live up to community expectations. Just feel that I should state that upfront. (] <sup>]</sup> 15:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC))

			:Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I'll have to decline as I just don't know if I'll have the time to ever use the tools. When my circumstances change, however, I think I would like to pursue adminship. Thanks for the offer... again. :-p (] <sup>]</sup> 17:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC))

	Alright, well it looks like I'll be working on both ROTJ and the main Star Wars article in light of the new FT criteria. I had question though, do you think the infobox is appropriate?

			Your drive coordinators –]]/], ] (]), and ] <sup>(])</sup>
	My argument at NFC (a nest of vipers) and MOS, which is currently being overhauled, has been that to say how it "is" done, which establishes a more cooperative, friendly tone (could be bossy otherwise). It's still pretty strong to say "Blah is done this way", rather than "Do blah this way", or "Blah should/must be done this way", which soon become bleached. Then, of course, when you really ''do'' need to mark a point, using "should/must" carries a lot of weight. The FA criteria have been transformed in this way, too. But it's up to you; I didn't want to change it if you weren't happy (which you're not). ] 15:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

			== Hey, I'm an admin now ==
	A user called ] is blatantly uploading fair use content and claiming that he created them, which is pure nonsense. Such things he have upload while claiming creation are album covers, video game screenshots, etc. He even gives some of them graphic names such as Image:Nicoinlondonplayingwithhervagina.jpg, Image:Themotherfuckingjungle.JPG, Image:Anothermotherfuckingjungle.JPG, etc. He got told to refrain from doing this on 3rd June, but uploaded Image:Slayerblood.JPG on 6th June. Every image this user has ever uploaded isn't free content in any way, and is definitely fair use though yet still tagged as though he created them - they need to be deleted. I'm unsure what the course of action is usually in such matters as I've never come across this, so I took it to the ANI board but nobody responded. Can you help? ] 08:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

	== Tags on Races of Zelda ==
			I do admit that I write a lot of FA's about subject material that can come off as dry and boring. The good thing about it is that I have almost free reign with the article so I can try a lot of things. However, the bad edge about that is when it comes to places like FAC, I get zero help. Sure, my article is under different "big" wikiprojects, but they usually do not send out their troops to help me get the article prose ready (everything else I can do pretty darn well). That is always my issue, even though English is my native language. When I put ] at FAC, it took about 10 copyeditors to hack at it before it was passable. With the Russian anthem article, I think I used about 6 people just to do that. There is only so much I can person do and ask and if people still oppose after 4-6 copyeditors, then something is seriously wrong with the people we got or people just use prose as an auto-kill for subjects they don't understand. As I said before, with this article you have done amazing work and I do not mean of this rant to be against you. However, I just feel that no matter what I do, who I beg or what has been done copyediting wise, people will just come by and said "prose is bad, fail" and that's it. Good prose is what is needed at FAC and I do not object to that; however what I ask is to what extent do we get to say "that's enough" when it comes to the prose. 5 copyeditors? 10 copyeditors? If there are people saying the prose is bad and we have 20 copyeditors (exageration I know), then that should be something that needs to be looked at closely when it comes to promotions and failures at FAC. ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 07:43, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

			== Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate ==
			Greetings,
			My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.
			I would like to include your Misplaced Pages user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Misplaced Pages present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
			With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
			I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
			Thank-you,
			John-Paul Mcvea<br />

			== MSU Interview ==
			Dear Deckiller,
			My name is Jonathan Obar ], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
			So a few things about the interviews:
			* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
			* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
			* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
			* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
			* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
			Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name] instead.
			If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
			Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
			Sincerely,

			== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==
			Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.
			A new user group, ], 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 ]. 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 ] but very often a friendly custom message works best.

			Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter!
			{{center|<big>]</big>}}
			''']''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were ''']''' and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located ]. Thanks to all who took part.
			''']''': The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove '''December 2015 and January and February 2016''' from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! '''We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles''', our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words).
			''']:''' The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining ] and ], ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive.
			'''Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017''': In December, ''']''' were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated!
			Speaking of coordinators, '''congratulations to {{noping|Jonesey95}}''' on their well-deserved '''induction into the ]'''. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."
			'''Housekeeping note:''' We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add ''']''' to your watchlist.

			Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit to '''below 1,000 articles for the first time'''. Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen.

			{{center|<big>]</big>}}
			Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year.
			''']''': We set out to remove '''April, May, and June 2016''' from our backlog and all '''February 2017 ]''' (a total of {{#expr:248+56}}&nbsp;articles). By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22&nbsp;editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.)
			''']''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was '''Requests'''. Of the 15 who signed up, 9&nbsp;editors completed 43&nbsp;articles (81,822 words).
			''']''': The goals were to remove '''July, August, and September 2016''' from the backlog and to complete all '''March 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:286+14}}&nbsp;articles). By the end of the month, '''we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles'''. Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words).
			''']''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was '''Requests'''. Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words).
			'''2017 Coordinator elections''': In June, ''']''' were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated!
			''']''': We set out to remove '''August, September, October, and November 2016''' from the backlog and to complete all '''May and June 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:216+26}} articles). The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that '''December 2016''' was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive. By the end of the month, only ''three'' articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to '''1,363 articles'''. Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words).
			''']''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was '''biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months''' (47&nbsp;articles). Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words).
			''']''': The goals were to remove '''January, February, and March 2017''' from the backlog and to complete all '''August 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:306+32}}&nbsp;articles). Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words).
			''']''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was '''Requests'''. Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words).
			''']''': We set out again to remove '''January, February, and March 2017''' from the backlog and to complete all '''October 2017 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:174+33}}&nbsp;articles). By the end of the month, these goals were reached and '''the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles''', the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old. Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words).

			Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the ].
			Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7&nbsp;months and reached a new all-time low. ''']''' continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5&nbsp;days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20&nbsp;days, and the longest wait time was 29&nbsp;days.
			Misplaced Pages in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of ]. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed.
			''']''': The goal was to remove '''June, July and August 2017''' from our backlog and all '''February 2018 Requests''' (a total of {{#expr:202+17}}&nbsp;articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758&nbsp;words).<!--"official" results taken from the barnstars page-->
			''']''': This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21&nbsp;April, focusing on '''Requests''' and the last eight articles tagged in '''August 2017'''. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17&nbsp;days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight&nbsp;editors completed 22&nbsp;copy edits (62,412&nbsp;words).
			''']''': We set out to remove '''September, October and November 2017''' from our backlog and all '''April 2018 ]''' (a total of {{#expr:271+27}}&nbsp;articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a '''record low of 716 articles'''. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15&nbsp;editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813&nbsp;words).
			''']''': It's election time again. '''Nominations''' for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59&nbsp;UTC on 15&nbsp;June. All Misplaced Pages editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. '''Voting''' will take place between 00:01&nbsp;UTC on 16&nbsp;June and 23:59&nbsp;UTC on 30&nbsp;June.

			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 ] to "have strong passwords and ]." We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, ] 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.

			Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June&nbsp;2019.
			''']:''' Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated!

			]: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of '''585 articles''' while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May&nbsp;2015. Final results and awards are listed ].
			]: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March&nbsp;2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available ].
			'''Progress report:''' As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585.
			''']:''' We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion initiated by ] has resulted in ] writing ] for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3&nbsp;October; for this reason, '''no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over'''. We will then ] and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent.
			]: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!
			Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, {{noping|Baffle gab1978}}, {{noping|Miniapolis}}, {{noping|Reidgreg}}, {{noping|Tdslk}} and {{noping|Twofingered Typist}}.

			'''Progress report:''' As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog&nbsp;– a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year.

			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 ] to help.
			If you have not seen it before, you can ]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can ] to ].

	:You see, the in-universe balance problem has been bugging me for some time, but I couldn't pin-point it for all the various involved aspects (like spin-offs etc). For a while, I patiently reworded introductions to make mention of the basic fact that this character and that planet are ]al, but I now know that this is really becoming a major problem on Misplaced Pages, for all the reasons you named, like project- and reader-oriented organisation etc. It's just not enough to approach this on an per article basis (like merge/AfD), because no policy is effectively managing this, so far. I honestly hope your proposal will become an official guideline. —''']''' (]) 17:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

	Sigh. Was hoping to look into the tag mountain of fair use images needing tags; hopefully your proposal for WP:FICT won't completely distract from that. I have some issues with that, but I suppose I'll keep those to the main discussion thread.

	The reason I'm dropping off a message here has to do with transwiking, especially the Xenosaga wiki example in your draft. On the general issue of transwiking... let me first state that if good content is inappropriate for Misplaced Pages, transwiking the material then linking to it is a good thing, as it respects that content may be good even if Misplaced Pages isn't the place for it. And an emphasis on "be sure to transwiki the article first!" before redirecting without merging quality articles is absolutely a good thing. Nevertheless... I remain unimpressed with Wikia. The better Misplaced Pages articles on fictional topics have stayed clear of speculation and kept a fine factual account, even if it's mostly in-universe. Sure, not all of them are up to that standard, but a lot of the FF project of 6 months ago seemed pretty good on that count, for example. Wikia seems closer to the horrible fanboy swamps. So I can't help but feel that this is a "ninth best" option or the like. It's better than nothing, but I'd normally much rather see the Misplaced Pages treatment of the topic (and I suppose this ties into the "where should the notability line be drawn?" issue with fiction).

	As for the Xeno wiki in particular... I'm not sure it's a good example for the guideline. It doesn't seem to have caught on at all, with . A lightly trafficked Wiki is vulnerable to uncaught passerby vandalism, or, in some ways even worse, a psychotic major editor who sculpts the place into their own personal shrine. Moreover, it seems that the various articles were de-merged to individual articles. What's the point? I'm a mergist largely because that's a better presentation of information, and the lists that were re-split upon moving to the XS wikia are much worse. A quick check of the Final Fantasy wikia shows some similar splits (like the list of FF9 locations) which are meh. Wikis need a critical mass of contributors to work right; perhaps the Xeno wiki should be disbanded with the content moved to a general gaming wiki? I know there are several, but ideally just one should be picked across Misplaced Pages to be favored, with the goal of having it actually be decent. ] 00:41, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

	::Well, I saw that before, but you seem to be selling it as a "temporary waystation" before moving a topic to its own wiki. I think that most topics don't deserve their own personal wiki, and ideally there'd be something like only three or four general wikias gone to (one for literature, one for games, one for television, etc. And I know that some already exist.). If I misunderstood the nature of that project, then feel free to correct me, but if residence at the annex is temporary, then it's probably not an appropriate link to toss at the end of a main article should a subtopic be moved. By the way, does the annex have access to en's image files? That would get rid of a major barrier in proper transwiking- the moving of all the images. ] 01:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: WP:VG rewording

Thanks. I noticed that the page's writing wasn't nearly up to the quality of WP:MILHIST, and did a little work to bring it closer. Your follow-up really improved the page; amazing work, as always. As for Ryu Kaze, he hasn't edited since October 2006. I check every few years to see if he's back in action, but, sadly, I don't think he's ever going to return. Great to see that you're doing major editing again, though. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 23:45, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

• Sounds good. Recently, it seems like the number of VG FACs has drastically decreased, and I haven't been doing as much reviewing as I'd like. I'm really looking forward to seeing the results of your work. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 00:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

• Ooh, you're going to work on FF5/4? I got 4 back to GA a few months ago; I'd totally be on board with an FAC push for either of them if you want some help. --PresN 04:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

• Srsly though, hit me up if you decide to do an FA push on something, WP:SE has been really quiet for the past few months. (I figure roping you into an article enhancement push is the best way of keeping you around this time) --PresN 04:42, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hey there

Heh, you know, this is the... wow, fifth time I've been asked. Jacoplane way back in November '06, you in July '07, Wizardman last December, and MuZemike in March. I've turned them all down so far; but against my better judgment I'll go for it this time. I guess appealing to my experience in content creation was the key. :) Let the nitpicking over poorly-worded comments made years before begin! --PresN 04:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, cool. I look forward to it! --PresN 04:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, lets just go for it. If it fails for those reasons, then it would be a clear case of "wait a few months, build up experience in those areas, and try again" anyway, so same deal in the end. --PresN 05:32, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll fill out the answers tonight after work. Oh, btw, 2 FAs, 10 FLs, not 12 FAs, though maybe you were combining them. --PresN 00:34, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

All right, answers are in, and David co-nommed it. --PresN 02:33, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Administrative tools

While I am honored to be considered as possible admin material, I'm going to have to politely decline. My main editing focuses are on article writing (for a very small group of subjects), copyediting and the Online print archive. I've never found myself in need of the admin tools while performing these tasks. Standard admin work—such as vandal fighting, backlog clearing and general maintenance—has never been my forté. On top of that, I have a fluctuating off-Misplaced Pages writing schedule, which can and has caused me to leave Misplaced Pages—without warning—for long periods of time. I have tremendous respect for the guys with the mop and bucket, but it just isn't for me. Sorry. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 08:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

• You make a convincing point. However, I still say that adminship wouldn't suit me. I prefer to work in quiet corners of Misplaced Pages, and avoid hot button issues and serious problems; I leave them to the people "in charge", so to speak. However, if I possessed the admin tools—even if I didn't use them often—I would be obligated to act in such situatons. Being on call just isn't my style. I'm honored that you asked, and I realize that RfA is having problems, but I'm really not the guy for the job. Again, I apologize. It looks like Guyinblack25 and PresN are interested, though. They're both great editors, and shouldn't have any problem passing. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 08:18, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hey there... 2

How dire is the situation? As you noticed, I'm technically semi-retired, but still edit a fair amount here and there. I placed the tag there more as a notice of my erratic free time. Because of that, however, I've focused on article writing more and more (sigh... one day we'll have a real compendium of video game history), helping out with project matters when it looks like it is needed. If there is a real need for more admins, even ones that may do very little with the tools, then I can apply. But I have the feeling that I won't live up to community expectations. Just feel that I should state that upfront. (Guyinblack25 15:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC))

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I'll have to decline as I just don't know if I'll have the time to ever use the tools. When my circumstances change, however, I think I would like to pursue adminship. Thanks for the offer... again. :-p (Guyinblack25 17:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC))

Re: PresN

Sure, I'd be happy to help nominate him! I haven't been on Misplaced Pages that much for the past few months, so I'll have to brush up :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 17:35, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. Only thing is I'll prolly not have a chance to be online from early tomorrow (EST) to early Saturday... if you want to run with the nom without me, go ahead, otherwise I'll get to it ASAP. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 22:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

November 2010 backlog elimination drive update

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! Discussions are underway to elect our inaugural group of GOCE Coordinators. Guild members and Drive participants are invited to have a look at the Coordinators page and join the discussion on its associated talk page. We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line! Your drive coordinators –The Utahraptor/Contributions, S Masters (talk), and Diannaa

Commons invitation

Hi, I want to invite you to Commons. On Commons you can upload free images, fix mistakes, etc. and the images or other files are accessible for all Wikimedia projects. You should consider going to Special:MergeAccount and then go on Commons, which will automatically create an account for you there. To learn more check Help:Unified login. Regards Hekerui (talk) 23:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I saw you had contributed to video game articles and I remember many video game pictures from Ubisoft were deleted from Commons, so I wondered what if anything you might have uploaded there, since it's difficult to get free content for games. And I saw you had no account which is sad because everyone able to contribute there can help protect the integrity of the Wikis as well, which fits well with being an admin.

Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Act on National Flag and Anthem (Japan)/archive1

I do admit that I write a lot of FA's about subject material that can come off as dry and boring. The good thing about it is that I have almost free reign with the article so I can try a lot of things. However, the bad edge about that is when it comes to places like FAC, I get zero help. Sure, my article is under different "big" wikiprojects, but they usually do not send out their troops to help me get the article prose ready (everything else I can do pretty darn well). That is always my issue, even though English is my native language. When I put Flag of Japan at FAC, it took about 10 copyeditors to hack at it before it was passable. With the Russian anthem article, I think I used about 6 people just to do that. There is only so much I can person do and ask and if people still oppose after 4-6 copyeditors, then something is seriously wrong with the people we got or people just use prose as an auto-kill for subjects they don't understand. As I said before, with this article you have done amazing work and I do not mean of this rant to be against you. However, I just feel that no matter what I do, who I beg or what has been done copyediting wise, people will just come by and said "prose is bad, fail" and that's it. Good prose is what is needed at FAC and I do not object to that; however what I ask is to what extent do we get to say "that's enough" when it comes to the prose. 5 copyeditors? 10 copyeditors? If there are people saying the prose is bad and we have 20 copyeditors (exageration I know), then that should be something that needs to be looked at closely when it comes to promotions and failures at FAC. User:Zscout370 07:43, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Main page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on March 16, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/March 16, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Misplaced Pages doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Final Fantasy XII is a console role-playing video game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2. Released in 2006, it is the twelfth title in the Final Fantasy series. The game takes place in the fictional location of Ivalice, where the empires of Archadia and Rozarria are waging an endless war. Dalmasca, a small kingdom, is caught between the warring nations. When Dalmasca becomes annexed by Archadia, its princess, Ashe, creates a resistance movement. During the struggle, she meets Vaan, a young adventurer who dreams of commanding an airship. They are quickly joined by a band of allies; together, they rally against the tyranny of the Archadian Empire. Final Fantasy XII received universally high scores, and earned numerous awards in various categories from noted video game publications. Selling more than two million copies in Japan, it became the fourth best-selling PlayStation 2 game of 2006 worldwide. As of March 2007, the game has shipped over 5.2 million copies worldwide. A sequel, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. (more...)

Things are going well; I keep poking around a bit at WP:SE- we absorbed the Dragon Quest taskforce so our scope exploded, though participation stayed about the same. I've started writing more FAs, mainly on indie video games, and kind of bounce between doing that and slowly getting all of the WP:SE articles above stub-class. We're about 90% there, and if we can do it I think we'd be the first project of significant size to do so. I see you've graduated now- plan on sticking around for a bit, or just occasional dropping in? --PresN 04:52, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate

Greetings,

My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.

I would like to include your Misplaced Pages user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Misplaced Pages present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?

With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.

I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.

Thank-you,

John-Paul Mcvea

MSU Interview

Dear Deckiller,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 14:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Main page appearance: Final Fantasy

This is a note to let the main editors of Final Fantasy know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 18, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/December 18, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Final Fantasy is a media franchise created by Hironobu Sakaguchi. It centers on a series of fantasy and science fantasy role-playing video games (RPGs), but includes motion pictures, anime, printed media, and other merchandise. The first game in the series, published in 1987, was conceived by Sakaguchi as his last-ditch effort in the game industry; the title was a success and spawned sequels. The video game series has since branched into other genres. Although most Final Fantasy installments are supposedly independent stories with different settings and main characters, they feature identical elements that define the franchise. Plots center on a group of heroes battling a great evil while exploring the characters' internal struggles and relationships. The series has been commercially and critically successful; it is Square Enix's best selling video game franchise, with more than 100 million units sold, and one of the best-selling video game franchises. It was awarded a star on the Walk of Game in 2006, and holds seven Guinness World Records in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008. It has also introduced many features now common in role-playing video games and has been credited with helping to popularize console-based RPGs in markets outside Japan. (Full article...)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Deckiller. 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:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

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.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Deckiller.

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)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter! >>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<< December blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were Requests and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all who took part. January drive: The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove December 2015 and January and February 2016 from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles, our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words). February blitz: The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining March 2016 backlog and January 2017 requests, ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated! Speaking of coordinators, congratulations to Jonesey95 on their well-deserved induction into the Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone." Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Miniapolis, Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk. >>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22 editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.) April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was Requests. Of the 15 who signed up, 9 editors completed 43 articles (81,822 words). May drive: The goals were to remove July, August, and September 2016 from the backlog and to complete all March 2017 Requests (a total of 300 articles). By the end of the month, we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles. Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words). June blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was Requests. Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words). 2017 Coordinator elections: In June, coordinators for the second half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated! July drive: We set out to remove August, September, October, and November 2016 from the backlog and to complete all May and June 2017 Requests (a total of 242 articles). The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that December 2016 was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive. By the end of the month, only three articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to 1,363 articles. Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words). August blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months (47 articles). Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words). September drive: The goals were to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all August 2017 Requests (a total of 338 articles). Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words). October blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was Requests. Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words). November drive: We set out again to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all October 2017 Requests (a total of 207 articles). By the end of the month, these goals were reached and the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles, the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old. Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words). 2018 Coordinator elections: Voting is open for the election of coordinators for the first half of 2018. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating! Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz.

Sloan–Parker House FAC

Good day Deckiller! I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for your review and suggestions for improvement of Romney Classical Institute when it was a FAC. Unfortunately, it was not promoted due to a lack of momentum, so I will be bringing it back as a FAC in the future. In the meantime, I've nominated Sloan–Parker House to FAC at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Sloan–Parker House/archive1. Given your tremendously helpful review of Romney Classical Institute, I would greatly appreciate it if you could do the same for Sloan–Parker House. Your suggestions greatly improved the last article, and I would like to glean your insights and subject matter expertise for this article, too. I know we all have busy schedules, so if you are unable to, I definitely understand! Thanks again for your continued contributions and improvements to Misplaced Pages! -- West Virginian (talk) 17:44, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

June 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Misplaced Pages in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Misplaced Pages editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Guild of Copy Editors March 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018.

Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in January's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48 requests for copyedit in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Blitz: Thanks to everyone who participated in the February Blitz. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests.

If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Misplaced Pages account and associated email Change your password now if your Misplaced Pages account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Misplaced Pages admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:27, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

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)

September 2019 GOCE Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

GOCE December 2019 Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the September edition. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January. Election time: Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself! September Drive: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles. October Blitz: This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests. November Drive: Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog. Our December Blitz will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now! Progress report: From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an all-time low of 479 articles. Request archiving: The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to Zhuyifei1999 and Bobbychan193, YiFeiBot is now archiving the Requests page. Archiving occurs around 24 hours after a user's signature and one of the templates {{Done}}, {{Withdrawn}} or {{Declined}} are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the correct codes and templates. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. >>> Sign up for the December blitz! <<< >>> Participate in the Coordinator elections! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

GOCE March newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Election results: There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a coordinator emeritus while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator. The next election is scheduled for June 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a record low of 323 articles in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. February Blitz: Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are here. March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 March, the backlog stands at a record low of 253 articles and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now! Progress report: As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Drive and blitz reports March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020. Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page.

Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April.

Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

December 2021 GOCE Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021.                  Current and upcoming events Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Misplaced Pages community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

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. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

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

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:

1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
2. 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

Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin 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 00:09, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Pinduoduo proposal feedback

Hi, I see that you’re an active member of the Retailing WikiProject and I was wondering if you might be willing to have a look at a proposal I just submitted to fix issues with the article for Pinduoduo. (I have a COI as an employee of Pinduoduo’s sister company Temu and am trying to adhere strictly to the rules, which is why I’ve made a proposal instead of editing the page myself.) As you might know, Pinduoduo is China’s biggest e-commerce company for agricultural produce, so I hope that you might find the subject matter intriguing given your interest in Retail. Thanks very much for your time! Snowy2000 (talk) 17:11, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
