	Hi.

			== How we will see unregistered users ==
	==Re: Editor Review:Cbrown1023==
	Sure. When you add a fair use image, you need to explain why you believe the image is legally include by claiming fair use. Usually this includes different "rationales", like "There is no free version available of this image", "It is being used to illustrate a point in the article, and not only decoration", "It is not possible to misuse the image due its low resolution, small size, while at the same time presents invaluable information for the article", "It does not prevent the copyright holder from exploiting the product illustrated by the image", "The image presents a unique point of view that is not possible to illustrate in prose", etc. If you check, in example, {{tl\|album}} you will read ''To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use'' In other words, for every article the image is being used, you need to explain why you believe it can be used. In example, see ] and ] for some idea about what to do. Good luck! -- ] 02:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
	:Yes, all the rationale seems appropriate. I also suggest to tag ] and ] with {{tl\|orfud}} (don't forget to substitute it) because they aren't being used in any article (fair use images not currently in use should be speedy deleted). Also, when you upload images from Amazon, add the full URL to the image and to the page containing the image, and use the {{tl\|Amazonimages}} on the image (along with the fair use tag) to indicate the image has been picked from Amazon. And if the image has some kind of watermark (like a "30% off" label), use the {{tl\|imagewatermark}} template as well. Good luck! -- ] 19:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

			Hi!

			You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
	Please remove any taunts from the AOL IP vandal from Kylu's talkpage when you come across them, instead of replying. Kylu's told me (in person) that she has no interest in replying to him anymore.

			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.
	== Stub - Start ==

			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.
	You are right. The stub-start distinction can get pretty tricky. I usually don't know the films and I read the plot and if I get a fairly good idea, provided infobox, awards, cast or reception are there, I can consider it Start. Subjective may be here how far one needs to go to get a "fairly good idea". I won't get into random reassessing, but when I bump into something obvious, I give it a hand up or down. ] 14:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

	I saw your vote to delete my article regarding ] yacht designers. Please reconsider your position in light of two things: (1) further editing to the article and sunstantial refereences, and (2) the proposal and suggested criteria for deletion are based on the criteria for a "corporation"; however, Nelson - Marek was a design team and should be evaluated on their contrubution to yachting and yacht design, not their standing as a corporation. Note that the editor citing search results is using "Merek" rather than "Marek" in the searches.

I don't know which colors would work best for your tastes, but all I can say is that I'd prefer it to be recognizably distinct from WP Filmmaking. That's my only request - I'll leave the rest to you and the community. Best of luck and keep up your excellent work, ] 23:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

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:

Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with 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 be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:32, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to 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
