== Being followed around aka Help? ==

Hello, DaGizza,
I have a small problem. Usually, I'm known as ], but I created this account in order to be able to inform an admin. I wrote this on ]'s discussion page:


::Hello, Yamla,
::] keeps vandalising actor ]'s page:
::tried to talk to him (see here:) but to no avail. He wouldn't answer.
::The article got worse when he started to edit it with several double mentions and a clumsy introduction. Also, he keeps adding ::co-stars and directors to the filmography. None of the featured article actor pages have those and there are generally not added.
::See for his edits here:

::#
::#
::# the same edit was made by ] before you banned him.
::#

::Could you talk to him?

::Best regards, --] <sup>]</sup> 12:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


Unfortunately, ] did revert the message as he did with some of my edits he felt unconfortable with. I'm not sure if ] will get the message if ] will delete it again, as Dracula is obviously monitoring my contributions as Plumcouch, so I'm writing you under another nick. Didn't know what else I could do.

Could you have a word with ], please?

Best regards, --] 12:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the ] is now '''no longer accepting new proposals'''. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving ]'s structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
I will do for hindi as per your suggestions. By the way, i just have to ask you that how you manage sanskrit wiki. I know a bit of sanskrit. I studied it till tenth. But you cant edit articles with that knowledge. How do you edit on Sanskrit wiki. And can users like me of any use on sanskrit wiki.]] 08:58, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

* ''']''' and ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} and {{noping|Soni}}, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the ]; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|SchroCat}}, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|theleekycauldron}}, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|SportingFlyer}}, provides for a more robust alternate version of the ].
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|Femke}}, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|WereSpielChequers}}, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
* ''']''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.


To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see ]. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! ] (] • she/her), via:

Hi Girik Sehgal,
I wanted to bring to your attention the edits by a particular user, ]. This particular user is roaming over the entire wikipedia and removing all references to Hindi wherever possible. In the discussion pages he spits venom all the times. At least see the articles, histories and discussion pages of the following articles:
] <br>
] <br>
]. His recent editing are now on the ] page itself. <br>
On the ] page, I have given him all the authoritative and official references, still he keeps on blabbering on the discussion page and kept removing the Hindi version of the anthem.
Since his acts are not limited to a single article, so I can not request for conflict resolution or arbitration. I need help. What is the process by which the stupid acts of such users can be checked. Thanks. - Apandey

== Invitation to participate in a research ==
If I join that project what I will have to do? I can provide the number of Hindus residing in most of the countries in the world. I don't think I have a deep knowledge in anything else.


Hello,
== Hi ==


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, 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 ''''''.
Hi Girik,


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
i hope you remember. i'd left wikipedia for good a few months ago. there seems to have been a heck of battle over my Fundy Watch project. i'm distressed at all the libelous/slanderous comments flung at me in my absense. could you give me a lil' background on the events that led to the deletion of that project. I've become throuhgly dissillusioned with Misplaced Pages and the ingrained systematic bias against Indian/Hindu perspective. I dont hope to come back anytime soon! Will be busy with imp. exams this year.


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
Regards


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,
Hi thanks for the link.. very illuminating... especially the vitriol coming from certain people whom i've not even known. The problem with so called "neutral" non-Indian admins who are interested in Indian topics is that they are afflicted by what you can term "Saffron blur", seeing Hindutvadis everywhere. Rather than objectively respond to ciritcism Witzel-worshipping admins like Zora go on whining Hindutva. They view Hindutva as some sort of a monolithic and influential group. Their high handedness and apparent agenda in dealing with editorial disputes has certainly alienated me.

Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

  • Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
  • Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
  • Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
  • Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
  • Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
  • Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
  • Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
  • Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
  • Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
  • Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
  • Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
  • Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
  • Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
  • Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
  • Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
  • Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
  • Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Request for review

Hi, I'm approaching you as a random uninvolved administrator.

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 Misplaced Pages, 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
