Hi, I wanted to see if you could do me a favor. Could you possibly remove the box on my page that says I'm suspected as being a sock puppet of INGfertility? Originally I did sign in as INGferility, but after my first post a few months ago, you had suggested that I change my name. So I ended up creating a new user name. So I'm not trying to deceive anyone, I just took your advice and changed to a new name. As a matter of fact, if that INGfertility account is still open, you can shut it down. If you could possibly remove that message, I would appreciate it. Thank you Darb8033 ( talk) 19:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

This user stated they may be inactive, and by a list of other admins, list you as potentially able to react to requests in their absence. As ironies might have it, you are de facto involved in the issue to a small degree. So it seems appropriately well that I ask: when you have time; please look at this edit and perhaps comment there if you are so inclined. Thank you for considering this request, and for your contributions to Wikipedia. My76 Strat 03:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Changes at that articles were made as the word "Villaño" is wrong and hasn't meaning in Spanish or any of both languages (English nor Spanish). The right word for all those articles should be "Villano", which means "Villain" in Spanish; and is the sense implied when using this word, referencing any of that wrestlers (A "villain" suppose to be a "scoundrel or criminal", as defines the Merrian-Webster Dictionary at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/villain; it is compared with the definition for "Villano" made by the Diccionario de la Real Academia Española de la Lengua at http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=villano).
As demanded, sources that verifies what's the right word:
- The ESTO journal, at http://www.oem.com.mx/esto/notas/n296679.htm (Spanish), using the word 'Villano' at this next text: ""Para nosotros (Los Villanos III, IV y V) es un gran placer regresar a esta arena de grandes triunfos, pero también de grandes derrotas, pues aquí perdí mi incógnita [For us, (The Villains III, IV and V) its a great pleasure come back to this Arena of great victories, but also of great losts, as here I lost my mask]" .
- The Wikipedia in Spanish, article Villano III
- SuperLuchas.net, mexican specialized webzine, at the article Ray Mendoza Jr. (Villano V) se encuentra en el hospital luego de la función de este domingo

Hi, I expect you've read this already. There seem to be a lot of 'arbs', admins and 'crats complaining, but it seems to be as perennial as the discussion itself on improving the climate at RfA. There was once an RfCC on this editor, which petered out without any conclusion, and I believe, also a couple of ANI - do you think anything can be done, and if so, what would be your suggestions? --02:16, 23 February 2011 (UTC) Kudpung ( talk)

The section Branch-based definitions of clade in the Cladistics article is poorly named, as it presents both branch-based and apomorphy-based definitions as the alternatives to the node-based definitions presented earlier. There might be a Wikilink to it though, so just changing the name might not be a good idea. Can I find out if there is such a link? Or can I change it and somehow arrange that such links will still go to the section despite the new name? Peter M. Brown ( talk) 02:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you won't find all this boring, and I certainly don't want to "poke my nose in", but knowledge and experience are to share, and all that, and the conversation you were having at RFA reminded me of an experience I had.
Basically, similar to here, a new account was very likely to be an SPA, and was commenting in an xFD. It went something like this:
Names are changed, and I won't link to it, just out of super-carefulness about pointing to it.
That of course left me thinking "Shit, now what to do? It looks like I asked them to out themselves...".
It had never occurred to me the question could be taken that way, but once it was I was in a position I found embarrassing.
As I say, just sharing, because it surprised me a bit when it happened to me, and it was totally unexpected. Begoon talk 04:22, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear 7,
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, were 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 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
HERE 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 -- Jaobar ( talk) 18:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

A Level 4 Warning was placed on their talk page at 1:31, I assume for the 21:48 edit to I Dream of Jeannie or possibly for the removal of maintenance templates on Joan Collins at 22:29. At 1:55 the IP then proceeded to again remove maintenance templates (this time from Gilligan's Island) and to again add unsourced POV/essay content so I reported them but you declined the report as "stale". I always though that "recent vandalism" meant within the past day/past several hours but is the recent/stale concept something that is up to the patrolling admins? I was just wondering, I don't want to waste people's time needlessly reporting vandalism if there's a time-limit I'm not understanding. Thanks, Shearonink ( talk) 05:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
( ←) I would start at ANI. The gameplan would be to get other admin to look at the situation and evaluate the best way to proceed. If a rangeblock is one of the suggested outcomes then a quick SPI can be created to see the impact / collateral damage. 7 03:06, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, 7. I see that in the edit summary to this edit you said that, to qualify for speedy deletion, "the negative accusations need to be unsourced". This is, in fact, not the case. Neither Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G10 nor Wikipedia:Attack page says that lack of sourcing is a requirement, nor, as far as I can see, is there any reasonable way of reading either of them as implying that. I am not going to speedily delete the article, because it seems more constructive to allow the AfD to run its course, but I just thought I'd let you know for future reference that I think your view of the speedy deletion criterion is mistaken.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.
For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I tagged the page because the user blanked it after copying the draft into mainspace. It was an effort to avoid potentially confusing the editor if the page is restored, and because the article looks like it will be deleted at AfD. But I think I understand your reasoning, as I would not normally tag blanked drafts. I would like to know, however, if there is a discussion or policy you can reference to show when G7 does and does not apply. WP:G7 doesn't specify any qualifications besides user talk pages. I only ask because I don't want to make unnecessary mistakes. If you were just making a personal judgement call, that's okay too, but it will be helpful to know.

In regard to the Broaster page you changed back, we updated some of the info to reflect the facts. All items on the page are factual and supportable now. I made a different name so no one will know we are conencted to it, strange, but I did it. Further, we dislike having our competiton mentioned in the same area of our legally owned trademark as it causes a conflict of interest. Also, there were quite a few innacuracies on the original Broaster page and, more importantly, there were trademark infringements on the original page. The Broaster Company ownes the trademarks for Broaster, Broasted and a host of other similar names and vigerously enfoces complaince with trademark law.
This should do it, thanks for the info.

Greetings. Excuse me for bringing up a purely admin issue, but it seems to be that you have taken an extremely lenient decision concerning the persistent vandalism of editor 199.91.203.210. This is someone who, from September 2012 onwards, vandalises wiki pages at least once per month and does nothing else but vandalise. Shouldn't this be a clear case of a permanent ban? If it's not, what are the criteria for a permanent ban? Thanks in advance. - The Gnome ( talk) 19:16, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
You mentioned on ANI that you were about to block this user for 3RR. They've now apologized for making the legal threats, so my quarrel with them is settled - but I figured I'd let you shorten the unblock appropriately to a term you think fits the 3RR offence rather than unblocking them and having you block them again. If not, let me know what you think fits and I can do it. Best, m.o.p 06:48, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello, 7. 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. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi 7,
Durham, England, is a historic university city. Due to this, it is the namesake of many other cities, towns, and villages around North America. As it seems that on wikipedia, typing in Cambridge, Oxford, or Montpellier - to quote a few - lead to the original cities, I would suggest that a change should be made that typing in Durham should redirect a user to Durham city in England, while providing a heading on the top of the article like "For other places named Durham, see .......".
I don't have permission to do this as typing in Durham leads to what I think should be the Durham Disambiguation article, which already exists under the name Durham, not Durham Disambiguation/Places named Durham.
Could you please help me fix this?
Thank you in advance!

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect LISA R. FREDENTHAL-LEE. Since you had some involvement with the LISA R. FREDENTHAL-LEE redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 15:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
The file File:Waveny-front2.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Orphaned image, use commons:File:WavenyParkNewCanaanCt07252007.JPG instead (much better quality, same place/location)
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. --
