Third, we have an ''']''' event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the ].

Dear fellow Wikipedian, |

|
|
|
I would like to personally invite you to the March edition of the ], which will take place on March 15, from 6-10 in the evening. It will occur at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, 2245 E Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90021 (downtown LA -- ). The building has a pink top with old signage for American Accessories, Inc. dba Princess Accessories ( <small></small>). There is on-site parking in the back, which also has an entrance. If you cannot attend in person, you are more than willing to work remotely, as we appreciate all help that you can provide. Finally, to the Facebook event, in case you want to invite friends, as we are always looking for new editors to help expand coverage of women on Misplaced Pages! |

|
|
|
Please make available the text of the deleted article "General_Technics," as discussed in |
|
|
]. It was deleted in 2008. |
|
|
|
|
|
General Technics is a group of science fiction fans that has been active for over 40 years. I think I may be able to build a better case for its notability now. In composing a new article, it would be useful to examine the text of the deleted article. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note that "General Technics" is also a fictional company in John Brunner's novel ], and that there is an electronics company named General Technics as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
(This is my first request to see a deleted article, so any advice you have for someone new at this will be welcome.) I appreciate your willingness to help with requests like mine. |

== Extended confirmed protection == |
|
|
|
|
|
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Doug Bell. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. |
|
|
|
|
|
] (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 ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] 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, ] 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 ] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating ], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard. |
|
|
Please review ] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' ]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}} |

Hello, |

Please note that ] 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 ] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the ] 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 ]. ] (]) 20:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC) |

== 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at ]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.] (]) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC) |
