	== MSU Interview ==
	Dear Lostintherush,
	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,
	Jonathan Obar --] (]) <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 03:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	== WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest ==
	Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require ], that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.
	As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a ] drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.
	If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from ].
	] will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.
	You can sign up on the ]. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

	The Hollow/Kneebone Genetics have created yet another result in myself, yes I'm modest.
	However, upon furthering this document you will all see how my family has served, bled, and died for this country but why i ask sometimes, i guess its cause when we believe in something by hell or high water we get the job done. Cause that is our way.
	We are Primary Producers, that the government made redundant so we moved onto other things, both of my families, have brillances and let downs. It happens in most. However when two lines sometimes interact, the genetic fusion creates something different, something of a persay; abnormality of brilliance (refer to Dr. Kaye. Redfield Jamieson - Touched by Fire for further proof of the brilliance of families with Bipolar Affective Disorder 1: research Pyschosis, and Agoraphobia, plus borderine personality disorder, autism, and shyness.

	{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Ramitmahajan. 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.

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:

	== 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.

	== 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 ] 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.

After two years without any bot-related activity (such as posting on ], posting on a bot's talk page, or operating a bot), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice. Retired members can re-apply for BAG membership as normal if they wish to rejoin the BAG.</blockquote>
	*Two BAG members retired
	** {{User|Madman}} .
	** {{User|BU Rob13}} ] and .
	* Three new BAG members have been voted in, welcome to the BAG!

	We thank former members for their service and wish Madman a happy retirement. We note that Madman and BU Rob13 were not inactive and could resume their BAG positions if they so wished, should their retirements happens to be temporary.
	;BOTDICT
	Two new entries feature in the ]
	*] – describes wikitext structuring that is editor hostile, even if it renders correctly
	*] – describes how tasks are deemed useful or not
	;BOTPOL
	*]: BAG members now have an activity requirement. The requirements are very light, one only needs to be involved in a bot-related area at some point within the last two years. For purpose of meeting these requirements, discussing a bot-related matter anywhere on Misplaced Pages counts, as does operating a bot (]).
	*]: Bot accounts may be additionally marked by a ] upon BAG request as being in the ] on Misplaced Pages. This flag allows using the API to add metadata to edits for use in the New pages feed (]). There is currently ] bot using this functionality.
	*]: The restriction on mass-creation (semi-automated or automated) was extended from ''articles'', to ''all ]''. There are subtleties, but ''content'' here broadly means whatever a reader could land on when browsing the mainspace in normal circumstances (e.g. Mainspace, Books, most Categories, Portals, ...). There is also a warning that ] still applies in other areas (e.g. Redirects, Misplaced Pages namespace, Help, maintenance categories, ...) not explicitely covered by ].
	;BOTREQs and BRFAs
	As of writing, we have...
	* 20 active ], please help if you can!
	* 14 open BRFAs and 1 BRFA in need of BAG attention (see ]).
	* In 2018, 96 bot task were ]. An ] search shows approximately 29 were withdrawn/expired, and 6 were denied.
	* Since the start of 2019, 97 bot task were ]. Logs show 15 were ], and 15 were ].
	* 10 inactive bots have been deflagged (see ]). 5 other bots have been deflagged per operator requests or similar (see ]).
	;New things
	*All bot-related discussion pages now have a ] (see ]). Discussions are searchable per noticeboard, or globally.
	*{{tl|Bot}} now supports {{para|status|expired}} (see ]). This led to the deletion of ] as useless (see ]).
	*] now mentions ] and ] as alternatives to bot requests.
	*The ] now mentions ], and two new languages ] and ]. Other minor tweaks have been made.
	*] has received major code updates. In particular, ] will now report ], ], and ].
	*] has received several updates (]/]/]/]/]/]/]/]). In particular, the bot stopped the automated removal of {{para|publisher}} from {{tl|cite journal}}, and stopped the automated addition of ] links, and now uses ] to authenticate those who make requests of the bot.
