Hello, Steve. Someone tagged my talk page with a sockpuppetry tag and is making other accusations. Can you help? -- Ssilvers ( talk) 05:08, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Steve, I understand that you worked with Imparo to set up the original wikipedia pages for Alberta Government MLA's, and I am hoping you can help me out with Alison Redford's page. Someone when to a lot of trouble to post a large amount of slanderous information that simply is libel and innuendo, and none of it is sourced. I have no idea how to report this as vandalism, or change it without wikipedia automatically changing it back? How can we go about getting this information reported as vandalism and changed to what it was before? --Thanks -- Eldonm ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:55, 13 May 2010 (UTC).
Hi Steve-
Have a quick question for you. If in the future I wanted to create a new wiki page from scratch, how do I go about doing that since there would be no site editor assigned yet? Let me know, thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julianyc ( talk • contribs) 18:33, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello there! I was reading your exchange with Bill Huffman in the Derek Smart amendment case, and I found myself struck curious. Might I ask, when you mention comments about unaccredited post-secondary institutions being neither here nor there, the comment seems to be focused on Bill Huffman, but his only comments in that regard were to Cla68, and not the council, if my reading is correct. Were you perhaps talking to Cla68? I believe I now understand your reference! Pardon, just didn't click until after I hit save here. :) I left a related comment on the amendment page!

Sigh. I agree with your comment that the community should be able to figure out how to tag AN's page; unfortunately those who jumped into the fray with the most zeal were perhaps not the ideal ones to do so. As an uninvolved observer, I tried to help out a bit hamhandedly ( note on talk page) but don't seem to have accomplished much. While it should be unnecessary, I wonder if you, someone else on Arbcom, or an Arbcom clerk might want to impose an officially-sanctioned neutrally worded solution. My own personal read would be that it's also time to close off discussion on the noticeboard talk page as well, but I'm sure opinions vary on that. All the best, Martinp ( talk) 03:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Some time ago, I learned that my article work, along with that of other arbitrators, was becoming the subject of scrutiny. In my case, this scrutiny apparently took the form of an automated comparison of some of my articles to the online sources they cited. This analysis was prone to false positives, and indeed the article of mine that it highlighted as a concern - Ken Allred - was one. However, this prompted me to look at some of other early article work, much of it consisting of biographies of municipal councillors of dubious notability, usually for the first time in years. I was shocked by what I found: I had engaged in rampant plagirarism, and in a few cases had even copied content so exactly that I believe that I was violating the source's copyright. For an example of the problem, compare the second paragraph of this revision to the source material here.
I have trouble putting myself in my 2007 shoes. I was certainly not deliberately plagiarising, but I'm not sure whether I did not notice the extent to which I was copying the source material or whether I did notice but did not see it as problematic; both possibilities seem equally implausible to me, but the question may well be immaterial.
My reaction upon discovering this was that I no longer had the moral authority to serve as as arbitrator, and I immediately announced my resignation to the Committee. Since then, I have been persuaded that this is not necessarily the case; I overcame a problem that I didn't realize that I had, and this is now in the relatively distant past. I have checked my more recent work, including my featured content work, against the (mostly offline) sources, and I am confident that the problem did not persist.
I would welcome discussion on the subject and very open to having my mind changed back (whether by weight of argument or weight of sentiment), but currently plan to resume activity as an arbitrator in short order (concurrent with fixing my old articles).
My sincerest apologies. Steve Smith ( talk) 23:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Just by way of interim response (by all means continue this discussion): thanks for the kind words. I think that Duncan's point regarding plagiarism is an excellent one, and will not participate in any findings regarding plagiarism for the remainder I term (but will participate in cases where plagiarism is an issue, provided that it is not the primary one). Rob's comment is also well-taken; I will need to familiarize myself with the Flying Toaster case before commenting further on it. Steve Smith ( talk) 22:43, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I've familiarized myself with the FlyingToaster incident, and I think there are some strong parallels. I think both of us engaged in comparable levels of plagiarism. The two differences I see are that i. FlyingToaster cited her articles in support of her RFA, when the only articles I cited in support of my ArbCom election were my (non-plagiarized) FAs, ii. at the time of her RFA, her plagiarism was recent, where at the time of my ArbCom election my plagiarism was not. Take those for what they're worth; if there's a strong sentiment that I should resign from ArbCom over this (and if you feel that my single post on WP:AN did not draw sufficient attention to this, please do post elsewhere—I'll waive the co-certifier requirement for an WP:RFC/U—I'll do so cheerfully enough.

The situation between Lar and Polargeo, similar to the situation between Lar and Stephen Shultz is escalating. Here is the sequence of events:
Lar was asked to stop removing views on his talk page and instead take a lower-drama action of noting his problems on the page by me, seconded by Thparkth.
This is rapidly spiriling out of control and needs emergy Arbcom intervention to prevent further disruption. I have asked both Lar and Polargeo to stop. Perhaps the individual who choses to stop first should be rewarded, as opposed to losing by default. Just a thought. Hipocrite ( talk) 14:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I believe I've solved out little mystery of birth/death dates on Daniel Kennedy Knott. I've found a source [2] stating he was born in 1879 (search up "KNOTT, Daniel Kennedy"). I could be wrong, but this seems likely, as it is an Ontario Birth Record (where Knott was born) and it lists him from Grey County, Ontario (where his hometown, Collingwood used to be in). i've gone ahead and made the change, citing the article above, I was just wondering if you have any particular thoughts on this? Thanks. Connormah ( talk | contribs) 04:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Could you please explain your !vote here? [3] I'm not confortable with your one-word support. Don't remember now what you said about responsiveness during your campaign; you may not have made any sort of pledge to talk more about your actions than previous arbitrators had.

Just a suggestion, but you might want to use a different phrasing than "those adversarial towards Ludwigs2" - maybe just ask for commentary, or single out a few people ask their opinions by name. Mikemikev and Occam are most likely to object on content grounds (this tends to minimize their POV - I don't think the genetic approach is inherently fringe the way Mathsci does, but it is not a position with strong support or strong supporting evidence in the scientific community). Mathsci won't have any real complaints about content, but will likely refuse to acknowledge it simply on the grounds that I wrote it. He may surprise me, but based on past experience I'd predict that he will write and post his own version of the breakdown, with some commentary to the effect that his is superior to mine, and maybe even that it was his idea in the first place (that's happened a good four or five times already - lol).
I swear, I can't win for losing on this article. -- Ludwigs2 22:21, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks for agreeing to do a GA review of the Virginia State Lottery. I have added more cites to the Virginia Code, and to various newspaper accounts of the executive director's appointment and two lawsuits. However, 9 out of 22 references are to the lottery's website. It appears to be the practice that state lottery articles include a description of each game, so I added the references to the website rather than leave these descriptions unreferenced. One could read WP:SELFPUB #5 as arising out of self-published books or blogs rather than a concern for the official website of a government agency. While I admit that both the Virginia Code and the lottery website are primary sources, I am citing them to support background information rather than "material that is challenged or likely to be challenged." I have raised the issue at WP:NORN in the hope of getting more guidance. Again, thank you for all that you do for Wikipedia. Racepacket ( talk) 13:54, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I'm having some difficulty with an editor exhibiting behavior similar to Asgardian. Although his behavior doesn't extend to nearly the level/depth of Asgardian's, the individual behaviors (article ownership, refusal to talk on the talk page, fabricating false accusations and then refusing to provide evidence when asked, distortion and dismissal of others' words and statements, and outright contempt for basic polices) are the same. I don't believe a ban is necessary, but rather, having someone politely inform him that his behavior is unacceptable, would suffice. I just wasn't sure where to make the case. I'm loathe to start a formal ArbCom case on it, but I don't want to go to the Admin Noticeboard either, since I've repeatedly observed in the past that the people there are ineffectual. If I outline the case on the talk page of the disputed article in question, and then invite members of the ArbCom to participate, would that be okay? Please let me know. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 03:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Steve, I see that you have protected Don Murphy. The two accounts who have been reverting it appear to be sockpuppets - the matter is being discussed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ColScott.

Hi. Unfortunately I can't yet edit this page, so I'm asking you for a help in resolving a dispute. I nominated the article for second the time, but the case was closed way too fast ( one hour), without even letting anyone to object on such a controversial matter (there are people who are against, it was nominated already so it can be considered as controversial already), and it was closed by the same wikipedian who closed the previous nomination. So I want at least to keep the nomination for another time, so there would enough time to make an objection (I'm myself was late to make it as it was closed already, damn). And it seems that interested persons so immediately took part in it, thus were biased. The previous nominator was warned by me. Dramadeur ( talk) 21:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
You seem to be online, so I am making you aware of these procedural notes I made at the appeal. Ncmvocalist ( talk) 04:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
In my experience, one sign of a disruptive editor is that if you give any leniency, they take full advantage of it to resume their agenda. You may need to rethink the matter of Brews, Count Iblis, and Hell in a Bucket. I see no signs of comprehension or compromise. They have an agenda, and are taking full advantage of whatever cover anybody provides. Now Ncmvocalist has gotten into the picture, which inevitably will complicate the dispute. Jehochman Talk 10:42, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Steve:
The header is your comment about my capacities on WP as stated in the Speed of light appeal. I'd like you to explore this matter further, to see whether you really see things differently than I do.
My view is that I talked about matters beyond the willingness of other editors to continue, so they sought administrative action to terminate discussion. One might sympathize with their view. If so, the question is what to do about it.
I think an effective remedy is a sanction to govern my Talk page behavior. The idea is to propose that when a thread is prolonged beyond endurance, the engaged editors can simply tell me that they are going to invoke this sanction unless I pack it up.
That seems to me to be a perfectly effective approach to the problem. I'd say that I'd be nuts not to accept that motion on the part of the involved editors, and desist.
The remedies proposed instead appear to me to miss the point that this is about behavior control, not about technical exchanges on a particular topic. What is worse, they open the door to a type of generalized harassment that I have experienced before that, frankly, I do not wish to operate under. The "uninvolved administrator" approach simply doesn't work, and leads to crazy actions that cannot be overturned.
What do you think about this? Brews ohare ( talk) 18:45, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Herbert Greenfield (1869–1949) was a Canadian politician who served as the fourth Premier of Alberta from 1921 until 1925. Born in Winchester, England, he emigrated to Canada in his late twenties, settling first in Ontario and then in Alberta, where he farmed. He soon became involved in the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA), a farmers' lobby organization that was in the process of becoming a political party, eventually becoming the organization's first vice president. Though he did not run in the 1921 provincial election, the first in which the UFA fielded candidates, Greenfield was the party's eventual choice to serve as Premier when the UFA won a majority of the seats that year. Like most of the UFA caucus, Greenfield had no experience in government and he struggled in the position. Despite this, his time as Premier saw the eventual elimination of the provincial deficit, substantial progress in negotiating the transfer of natural resource rights from the federal government, and the creation of the Alberta Wheat Pool. By 1924, many UFA Members of the Legislative Assembly wanted to see Greenfield leave office, both because they were frustrated with his failings and because they thought it likely that a Greenfield-led government would be defeated in the next election. In 1925, they persuaded Greenfield to resign in favor of John E. Brownlee. He died in 1949 at the age of 79. ( more...)

John Edward Brownlee served as Attorney-General of the province of Alberta in western Canada from 1921 until 1926, in the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) government of Herbert Greenfield. As Brownlee was the only lawyer in a caucus formed almost entirely of farmers, his role extended beyond the traditional expectations of an attorney-general; he became the government's de facto leader in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. Brownlee quickly became identified with the government's conservative faction. He opposed radical changes to the structure of government and urged thrift in public spending. As part of the government's attempts to balance its budget, Brownlee favoured selling its money-losing railways and concluding an agreement with the federal government to give Alberta control over its natural resources; he was unsuccessful at both while Attorney-General. UFA Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) began to see Brownlee as a better leader than the indecisive Greenfield. A group of them attempted to force Greenfield to resign in Brownlee's favour. Though Brownlee opposed these attempts, he was eventually persuaded to accept the premiership if Greenfield willingly relinquished it. Brownlee became premier on November 23, 1925. ( more...)

Charles Stewart (1868–1946) was a Canadian politician who served as the third Premier of Alberta from 1917 until 1921. As Premier, Stewart tried to hold together his Liberal Party, which was divided by the Conscription Crisis of 1917. He endeavored to enforce prohibition, which had been enshrined in law by a referendum during Sifton's premiership, but found that the law was not widely enough supported to be effectively policed. His government took over several of the province's financially troubled railroads, and guaranteed bonds sold to fund irrigation projects. Several of these policies were the result of lobbying by the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA), with which Stewart enjoyed good relations; even so, the UFA was politicized during Stewart's premiership and ran candidates in the 1921 election. Unable to match the UFA's appeal to rural voters, Stewart's government was defeated at the polls and he resigned as premier. After leaving provincial politics, Stewart was invited to join the federal cabinet of William Lyon Mackenzie King, in which he served as Minister of the Interior and Mines. He served in King's cabinet until 1930, when the King government was defeated; in 1935, so too was Stewart. He died in December 1946 in Ottawa. ( more...)

Dear Steve Smith,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, 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 Wikipedia 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 HERE, 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:
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 [email protected] (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
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Thanks for taking the time to rate Princess Theatre (Edmonton)! As someone with an interest in this subject, I was wondering whether you could elucidate what specific areas you thought needed improvement in order to reach GA or A status, as I will be working on the article in the future.
When gathering the original material, I took great pains to make sure the images used were properly licensed, and that the facts were properly cited and verifiable, and I see that even since publishing last night, several edits have been made to clean up minor details of style such as caption and heading formatting.
Thanks again for your help,

Hi, could you email me some scans, particularly of Elliot and Barr (perhaps some of Mallory, too) so I can perform spotchecks on this article? I read it through and it seems like excellent writing, but I'm no expert at that and thus feel unqualified in supporting without doing my part; namely, aformentioned spotchecks. Thank you, Clay Clay Clay 05:29, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Steve:
You're probably busy with your day job, but I was wondering if I could get your feedback on the Alexa McDonough article. I've listed this article for peer review because the article is stable, seems to be stuck at B-level, and I would like to get it to at least a Good-level article, in preparation for a Feature-level article. Looking for comments on tone, style, and anything else that needs fixing. Thanks, Abebenjoe ( talk) 19:58, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of
WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).
So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 14:57, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

This is a note to let the main editors of Alexander Cameron Rutherford know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 8, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite ( talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 8, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Alexander Cameron Rutherford (1857–1941) was a Canadian lawyer and politician who served as the first Premier of Alberta from 1905 to 1910. He began his political career in the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories. When the province of Alberta was created, Rutherford was asked to form its first government, and then won the 1905 election. The apparatus of provincial government was established under Rutherford, and Edmonton was controversially selected as Alberta's capital over Calgary. The government faced labour unrest in the coal mining industry, and established a commission to examine the problem. It also tried to encourage the development of new railways. Early in 1910, William Henry Cushing's resignation as Minister of Public Works precipitated the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway scandal, which turned many of Rutherford's Liberals against his government. He was forced to resign. He later became chancellor of the University of Alberta, whose earlier founding had been a personal project. A University of Alberta library, an Edmonton elementary school, and Mount Rutherford are named in his honour. His home, Rutherford House, is now a museum. ( Full article...)
You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you. UcuchaBot ( talk) 00:02, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Steve Smith. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (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 "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion 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, a request for comment 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:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello,
Please note that TOTP 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 preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page 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 thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Steve Smith.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, 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 PERM. 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 here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

I was looking at a deleted page, noticed it was created in '07 by a now-blocked user, and realized that they were blocked a month ago despite not having edited in 11 years. Then I noticed a "sock" being blocked who hasn't edited in 13! I guess I'm just wondering why these blocks on seemingly long-dead-and-buried accounts are being made.

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
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 required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication 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.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

primary sources for living persons. Wikipedia claims that it is a tertiary source of information and relies on secondary material for its sources, rather than primary. There are many problems with this stance: 1) secondary sources rely on the author's view of the primary sources. If there are multiple authors, the reader can compare different views and synthesis their own viewpoint. Furthermore, the author's often reiterate the same material over and over again, without critical justification. An example is Thomas Scott being claimed to be an Orangeman despite any lack of evidence that he ever belonged to any lodge (he may have shared their views but given his situation [working migrant which would prohibit his being able to afford lodge fees or staying long enough to join a lodge], this is highly unlikely) However, primary sources allow the reader to make up their own mind directly 2) living people rarely have any secondary sources given the timelines. Often, the secondary source is a hagiography which is anything but unbiased. Furthermore, with living persons, there is an issue with libel. If primary sources are cited, it allows the reader to make up their own mind and mitigates the libel issue. Secondary sources, reflecting their authors' biases, are much more likely to be libelous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JakeAlberta ( talk • contribs) 23:09, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

The file File:Harry Marshall Erskine Evans.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused, low-res, no obvious use
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

I noticed the 2020 deaths category have been removed from the Jerry Givens article. The category should be kept in the article since it is part of the article format and will make it easier for the reader to locate and read the article. The deaths from the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Virginia covers only the cause of death. The 2020 deaths category should be restore to the article since it is part of the format involving articles about notable people. Thank you- RFD ( talk) 10:56, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
On 11 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jerry Givens, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jerry Givens served as Virginia's chief executioner for 17 years before becoming a campaigner against the death penalty? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jerry Givens. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Jerry Givens), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of the Alberta Advantage Party.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:27, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey User:Steve Smith, I just saw your edit on Joe Clark.
I recognized that name from somewhere...aren't you that guy who greatly expanded the articles of Premiers of Alberta? (e.g. Alexander Cameron Rutherford, Herbert Greenfield and about a few more are classified as either good or featured articles). Well done!
Also I still can't believe you made an entire series on John Edward Brownlee. Not only a seperate article about his premiership but also about his time as an Attorney-General. Great job! Ak-eater06 ( talk) 16:27, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself.

Hi!
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)
