Hi! Welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you get a chance, drop us a note at Misplaced Pages:New user log to introduce yourself.

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp.

Welcome is a good place to start. Misplaced Pages:How does one edit a page gives editing help. Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style gives formatting info. Misplaced Pages:Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but don't try to read it all now. Misplaced Pages:Help covers a broad range of useful topics. Misplaced Pages:Village pump is a place to ask questions. Misplaced Pages:Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving.

You should also feel free to drop me a question on my talk page. I'll answer if I'm here.

Happy editing, Isomorphic 04:10, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Congratulations, you're an admin! Please try to be conservative in the use of your new capabilities. Best regards, The Uninvited Co., Inc. 22:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

You're now a bureaucrat, so jump in and help out where you can. Follow the discussions at the bureaucrat's noticeboard and use your new powers for good of course. :) - Taxman 15:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, after I pestered Suisi, she gave you the oversite bit. Happy editing. Raul654 00:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Redux. As requested on meta, your check-user flag is now active.

Please subscribe to checkuser-l and email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know that you are allowed on the mailing list. (The list may contain confidential information). Bye. --Paginazero 06:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

It seems from your latest post to the Bureaucrat noticeboard that you haven't seen how fast this issue has moved. Administrators were given the ability to assign and remove "rollback" permissions a few days ago, see the user rights log or the new Requests for rollback board.

Both Jimbo and Anthere have commented on the implementation - Jimbo here and Anthere here. WjBscribe 17:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to my talk page!
Please add your message below this template and at the bottom of the page. (do it now)
I will generally reply in your talk page. Thanks.

Welcome back

I was happy to see your name appear in my watchlist just now and was even happier when I read your edit summary here. Welcome back, Redux; it's good you've returned. I remember you being the bureaucrat who made me an admin back in the day. :) Best. Acalamari 18:23, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Acalamari!!! It is nice to be back. I had been meaning to for quite a while. Still lots of catching up to do, but I'll get there. Excellent to see that you have stuck around all these years :). It was my pleasure to "push the button" for your promotion. And it shows that the good, honest work we have been doing on the project for more than a decade really paid off. Redux (talk) 18:28, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Good to see you back again. It's been a long while. :) - Mailer Diablo 02:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Mailer!!! Nice to see you're still around as well :) It's a pleaseure to be back! :)

Disambiguation link notification for March 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Camille Muffat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Figaro (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:06, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks to the bot owner. Redux (talk) 11:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

"especifically" is probably misspelled.

My title for this message is taken from the top of the #4 US-Google hit for the word. The #1 hit is from Merriam-Webster, listing a "new word", seemingly explaining it as a portmanteau word, but contributed by someone who offered their name but no title or affiliation with the name. The #2 is a partial match to the entry for the Catalan word "especific", in en:Wikt, and other en:WP and en:Wikt hits are on a talk page and in descriptions of other words' specific domains, respectively -- by contributors who i think in each case were a non-native English-speaker. #5 is the personal name of a 'net-graphical paper-doll on a choose-from-this-list-of-languages page. I haven't checked OED, but i'm pretty sure English use of the word is somewhere on the range between super-peculiar and bizarre. I admire the many non-native speakers of English whose English is far better than my only even-marginally-usable second language, but IMO this term should be thot of as a trap.

Implementation of Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats#Bureaucrat activity requirements

You are receiving this message because you are listed at Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats#Former bureaucrats. Writ Keeper pointed out that these users were not directly notified of the community discussion ending August 2015, where consensus was reached to remove the bureaucrat permissions of users who have not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years.

As of 1 October 2015, any former bureaucrat who has not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years that wishes their bureaucrat permissions restored will need to request reinstatement at RFB.

If you intend to return to bureaucrat activity, please request restoration of permissions before 1 October 2015 or three years passes since your last bureaucrat activity, whichever is later.

“

Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "Inactive bureaucrat accounts" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.

Bureaucrat activity is widely construed and includes acting or commenting as a bureaucrat at any venue including WP:BN/RFA/RFB/RFBAG/BRFA and responding to requests in their capacity as a global renamer or subscriber to the bureaucrats' mailing list or signalling that they remain actively engaged and available for bureacrat tasks.

”

To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrat activity. Modeled after Misplaced Pages:Inactive administrators and similar to that process, the log page will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.

If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFB. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. –xeno 20:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
