:* An RfC [[Special:PermanentLink/821748004#RfC about paid use of administrator tools|has closed]] with a consensus that candidates at [[WP:RFA]] must disclose whether they have ever edited for pay and that administrators may never use administrative tools as part of any paid editing activity, except when they are acting as a [[WP:Wikipedian-in-Residence|Wikipedian-in-Residence]] or when the payment is made by the Wikimedia Foundation or an affiliate of the WMF. |

:* Editors [[Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm|responding to threats of harm]] can now contact the Wikimedia Foundation's emergency address by using [[Special:EmailUser/Emergency]].

|||
:* Community ban discussions [[Special:PermanentLink/828033016#Proposal for mandatory minimum duration length for CBAN discussions|must now stay open]] for at least 24 hours prior to being closed. |
|||
:* A change to the administrator inactivity policy [[Wikipedia talk:Administrators#RFC: Slight tweak to lengthy inactivity policy|has been proposed]]. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools. |
|||
:* A change to the banning policy [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: update to banning policy for repeat sockmasters|has been proposed]] which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered ''de facto'' banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users. |

:* The edit filter has [[:mw:Extension:AbuseFilter/Rules format|a new feature]] <code>contains_all</code> that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. |

|||
:* The [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for organizations and companies]] has been substantially rewritten following the closure of [[Special:PermanentLink/831955328#RfC: Adoption of the re-written NCORP guideline|this request for comment]]. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable. |
|||
:* The six-month [[Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed article creation trial|autoconfirmed article creation trial]] (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has [[Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed article creation trial/Post-trial Research Report|been published]]. A [[Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed article creation trial/Request for comment on permanent implementation|request for comment]] is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently. |

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration''' |
|||
:* The Arbitration Committee [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions#Motion: Discretionary sanctions appeals update|is considering]] a change to the discretionary sanctions procedures which would require an editor to appeal a sanction to the community at [[WP:AE]] or [[WP:AN]] prior to appealing directly to the Arbitration Committee at [[WP:ARCA]]. |
|||
[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous''' |
|||
:* A [[Special:PermanentLink/828824928#Should one of the expectations of administrators be to have email enabled?|discussion has closed]] which concluded that administrators are not required to [[Wikipedia:Emailing users|enable email]], though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice. |
|||
:* The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the [[toolforge:interaction-timeline|Interaction Timeline]]. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes. |

:* The ability to create articles directly in mainspace is now indefinitely [[WP:ACPERM|restricted to autoconfirmed users]]. |
|||
:* A [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Event coordinator proposal|proposal is being discussed]] which would create a new "event coordinator" right that would allow users to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit. |
|||
[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news''' {{anchor|technews}} |
|||
:* [[WP:FILTER|AbuseFilter]] has received numerous improvements, including an [[phab:T132284|OOUI overhaul]], [[phab:T39192|syntax highlighting]], ability to [[phab:T87455|search existing filters]], and a few new functions. In particular, the search feature can be used to ensure there aren't existing filters for what you need, and the new <code>equals_to_any</code> function can be used when checking multiple namespaces. One major upcoming change is the ability to [[phab:T179604|see which filters are the slowest]]. This information is currently only available to those with access to [[wikitech:Logstash|Logstash]]. |
|||
:* When blocking anonymous users, a [[phab:T152462|cookie will be applied]] that reloads the block if the user changes their IP. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. This currently only [[mw:Autoblock#Tracking|occurs when hard-blocking accounts]]. |
|||
:* The block notice shown on mobile will soon [[phab:T165535|be more informative]] and point users to a [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help:I_have_been_blocked help page] on how to request an unblock, just as it currently does on [[MediaWiki:Blockedtext|desktop]]. |
|||
:* There will soon be a [[phab:T132220|calendar widget]] at [[Special:Block]], making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time. |

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration''' |

:* Following a [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Event coordinator proposal|successful request for comment]], administrators are now able to add and remove editors to the [[Wikipedia:Event coordinator|"event coordinator" group]]. Users in the event coordinator group have the ability to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit. Users will no longer need to be in the [[Wikipedia:Account creator|"account creator" group]] if they are in the event coordinator group. |
|||
:* Following an [[Special:PermaLink/842448517#General_sanctions_proposal|AN discussion]], all pages with content related to [[blockchain]] and [[Cryptocurrency|cryptocurrencies]], broadly construed, are now under indefinite [[Wikipedia:General sanctions/Blockchain and cryptocurrencies|general sanctions]]. |
|||
[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news''' |
|||
:* IP-based [[phab:T152462|cookie blocks]] should be [[phab:T192017|deployed]] to English Wikipedia in June. This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface. |
|||
:* The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team will build [[Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Per user page, namespace, category, and upload blocking|granular types of blocks]] in 2018 (e.g. a block from uploading or editing specific pages, categories, or namespaces, as opposed to a full-site block). Feedback on the concept may be left at [[Wikipedia talk:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Per user page, namespace, category, and upload blocking|the talk page]]. |
|||
:* There is [[phab:T174313|now a checkbox]] on [[Special:ListUsers|Special:ListUsers]] to let you see only users in temporary user groups. |

:* It is [[phab:T165535|now easier]] for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. |

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration''' |
|||
:* A [[Special:PermanentLink/843882679#Issue with emails sent to the Arbitration Committee|recent technical issue]] with the Arbitration Committee's spam filter inadvertently caused all messages sent to the committee through Wikipedia (i.e. [[Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee]]) to be discarded. If you attempted to send an email to the Arbitration Committee via Wikipedia between May 16 and May 31, your message was not received and you are encouraged to resend it.

:* In early May, an [[phab:T193769|unusually high level of failed login attempts]] was observed. The WMF [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-May/090145.html has stated] that this was an "external effort to gain unauthorized access to random accounts". Under Wikipedia policy, administrators [[Wikipedia:Password strength requirements|are required to have strong passwords]]. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]]. A [[Template:Committed identity|committed identity]] can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in. |

:* Starting on July 9, the WMF Security team, Trust & Safety, and the broader technical community will be seeking input on an [[phab:T190015|upcoming change]] that will [[meta:Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS|restrict editing of site-wide JavaScript and CSS]] to a new [[meta:Technical administrators|technical administrators]] user group. Bureaucrats and stewards will be able to grant this right per a community-defined process. The intention is to reduce the number of accounts who can edit frontend code to those who actually need to, which in turn lessens the risk of malicious code being added that compromises the security and privacy of everyone who accesses Wikipedia. For more information, please review the [[meta:Creation_of_separate_user_group_for_editing_sitewide_CSS/JS#FAQ|FAQ]]. |
|||
:* [[Syntax highlighting]] has been graduated from a Beta feature on the English Wikipedia. To enable this feature, click the highlighter icon ([[File:Codemirror-icon.png|20px]]) in your editing toolbar (or under the [[Hamburger button|hamburger menu]] in the [[mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]]). This feature can help prevent you from making mistakes when editing complex templates. |
|||
:* IP-based [[phab:T152462|cookie blocks]] should be [[phab:T192017|deployed]] to English Wikipedia in July (previously scheduled for June). This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface. |

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous''' |

:* Currently around 20% of admins have enabled [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]], up from 17% a year ago. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|doing so]]. Regardless if you use 2FA, please practice appropriate [[Wikipedia:User account security|account security]] by ensuring your password is [[Password_strength#Guidelines_for_strong_passwords|secure]] and unique to Wikimedia. |

:* After [[:meta:Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS|a discussion at Meta]], a new user group called "[[Wikipedia:Interface administrators|interface administrators]]" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] and [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by [[WP:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]]. [[Wikipedia talk:Interface administrators|Discussion is ongoing]] to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia. |
|||
:* Following a [[Special:Permalink/853341762#Restrict Wikinews links in articles|request for comment]], the [[WP:SISTER]] style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to [[n:Main Page|Wikinews]] should only be made as per the [[Wikipedia:External links|external links guideline]]. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner. |

== "Superfluous notes not needed in infobox" == |

It needs to go somewhere (and I'd even added a similar note to [[Power Rangers#Broadcast history]]), but since "pre-production, prior to Disney acquisition" was the only content, that's why I put it in an infobox. While the Disney buyout already infers this somewhat, some clarification is needed if we're going to notate the logo change, seeing as unlike with In Space through Time Force, Wild Force only used "Saban's Power Rangers" in certain places.—[[User:Mythdon|<span style="color:gray">Mythdon</span>]] ([[User talk:Mythdon|<span style="color:#003399">talk</span>]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mythdon|<span style="color:#003399">contribs</span>]]) 02:10, 9 October 2018 (UTC) |

== Question regarding a source for the MMPR movie == |

Hello, JPG-GR. While I'm planning to do a massive revamping of ''[[Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie]]'' to expand on the lead (to include the release and production information), the production section and critical reception, and ultimately get it up to at least GA or FA status (using the ''[[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer]]'' film article, which is a GA, as a point of reference), I'm also thinking about getting the ''[[Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie]]'' article up to GA or FA status at some point. I've been trying to search for some sources to include in the article (i.e. critical reception, production information, release information, interviews, etc.), but I have a quick question: would [http://schoolpa.com.au/~paul/Zordmaker/zordreal2015.pdf this source] (written by one of the crew members involved) count as a reliable source per [[WP:RS]]?

== 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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small> |

== Little Font Violation reversion == |
|||
So, what was the problem with the edits you reverted? Was I using the little font not in the way it is supposed to be used? [[User:LTPHarry|Luigitehplumber]] ([[User talk:LTPHarry|talk]]) 00:24, 29 May 2019 (UTC) |
|||
:The use of <small> within infoboxes is prohibited as it results in text that is 75% the size of the browser default. Per [[MOS:SMALLFONT]], text must not be smaller than 85% of the browser default.<br>You were also erroneously linking to a redirect rather than the proper article - the article is located at [[Fox Kids]], not Fox Kids Network. [[User:JPG-GR|JPG-GR]] ([[User talk:JPG-GR#top|talk]]) 12:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC) |
|||
Okay, I redirected the links for a reason, as Fox Kids was known as the Fox Kids Network for many years, even though it was simply a block in the states and not a TV channel. [[User:LTPHarry|Luigitehplumber]] ([[User talk:LTPHarry|talk]]) 13:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC) |

== Draft:James Jesse Dunn --->James Jesse Dunn == |
|||
Hi JPG-GR |
|||
This morning I was trying to move the file Draft:James Jesse Dunn to the main article space when something went amazingly wrong: All the pages seemed to move correctly except the Talk page. I tried to replace the new version of the Draft Talk page, but was unable to do so. About that time, I lost the connection between my computer and my ISP. I couldn't reconnect until much later this afternoon, when I found the message to contact you. |
|||
The page currently on WP seems to have the same content as the version I was trying to upload (except that it is marked Draft, so it appears to me that those marks can be easily changed and that the result could be uploaded to the main site. I don't want to risk recreating this morning's upset without first contacting you, since I'm not sure why the problem occurred in the first place. |
|||
Any other suggestions? Thanks, [[User:Bruin2|Bruin2]] ([[User talk:Bruin2|talk]]) 00:36, 4 June 2019 (UTC) |
|||

Is it possible for me to remake the template? I noticed it was deleted because it only had 4-5 articles, but I found plenty of articles that would help suffice making a template. [[User:Lullabying|lullabying]] ([[User talk:Lullabying|talk]]) 16:52, 1 November 2019 (UTC) |
|||
:No objection here as that template was deleted over a decade ago. You may want to double-check your wikilinks, though - three of the singles appear to be pointing at redirects. [[User:JPG-GR|JPG-GR]] ([[User talk:JPG-GR#top|talk]]) 02:03, 2 November 2019 (UTC) |

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! == |
|||
Hello, |
|||
[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia. |
|||
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in! |
|||
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. |
|||
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. |
|||
Thank you! |

Hello JPG-GR, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. |
|||
<table class="messagebox " style="border: 1px solid #AAA; background: ivory; padding: 0.5em; width: 100%;"> |
|||
<tr><td style="vertical-align:middle; padding-left:1px; padding-right:0.5em;">[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|40px]]</td><td>Hello! Voting in the '''[[WP:ACE2020|2020 Arbitration Committee elections]]''' is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on {{#time:l, j F Y|{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2020|end}}-1 day}}. All '''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2020#Election timeline|eligible users]]''' are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. |
|||
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, [[WTBI-FM]], should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WTBI-FM]]. |
|||
The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration|Wikipedia arbitration process]]. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. |
|||
Deletion [[WP:AFD|discussions]] usually run for seven days and are ''not'' votes. [[WP:DISCUSSAFD|Our guide]] about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is [[WP:N|notability]], but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top. |
|||
If you wish to participate in the 2020 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2020/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2020|poll}}|voting page]]'''. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{tlx|NoACEMM}} to your user talk page.

== Weather Templates == |
|||
I have changed the wikiproject flood and wikiproject Weather Data and Instrumentation to place articles under weather instead of meteorology. Please do not revert those templates again as you are removing articles from the new WP weather project. The template changes were designed to place those articles into the correct taskforces automatically without changing the wikiproject template on thousands of articles. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]</sup> 23:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:Perhaps I misunderstood your intentions. Your modifications to these templates have landed them both in [[:Category:WikiProject banners with formatting errors]], so you'll want to take a look and see which parameters you still need to modify to correct the errors. [[User:JPG-GR|JPG-GR]] ([[User talk:JPG-GR#top|talk]]) 00:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC) |
|||
:: I have asked multiple people about them as I simply changed/added taskforce parameters and changed the wikiproject label. As far as I can see, this doesn't affect article categorization or the display on article talk pages. The error appears to be restricted to just the template page itself. Nobody seems to be able to figure it out as of yet, but the only problem seems to be that orange banner. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]</sup> 00:27, 12 April 2021 (UTC) |

:::I think I'm starting to understand what's going on - you're trying to use {{tlx|WikiProject Floods}} as a shortcut for {{tlx|WikiProject Weather|<nowiki>floods-task-force=yes</nowiki>}}, correct? This isn't the proper way to do it, and it's probably gonna cause other issues down the road that aren't manifesting themselves now. I can understand that you may not want to edit a bunch of Talk pages, so you may want to see if someone can can do so programmatically - check out [[WP:BOTREQ]] and its related pages.

:*IP addresses of unregistered users are to [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|be hidden]] from everyone. There is a rough draft of how [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#Updates|IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them]]. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged.

== Pipe Organ project banner == |
|||
Hallo, You reverted my attempt to fix {{tl|WikiProject Pipe Organ}}. Can you do anything to it so that it does not reach the project via a redirect, as it is disconcerting to see the text highlighted in green as a redirect whenever I see the banner. I thought I had fixed it, but apparently not. Any ideas?

|||
:I'm not sure what you mean by "highlighted in green" (I'm guessing you're using a different Wikipedia skin then I am), but the issue is that the the WikiProject is "PipeOrgan" (no space) and the banner is "Pipe Organ" (with space). One of the two should be moved to match the other - presumably the banner. [[User:JPG-GR|JPG-GR]] ([[User talk:JPG-GR#top|talk]]) 17:32, 12 November 2021 (UTC) |

== How we will see unregistered users == |
|||
<section begin=content/> |
|||
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 [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. |
|||
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]]. |
|||
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|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 [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|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. |

#Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period |

== Renaming NOTE parameters == |
|||
Hi, it's not necessary to do {{diff|Template:WikiProject Baseball|prev|1084275420|this}}. The underlying {{tlx|WPBannerMeta}} template works just fine if the NOTE_2 parameters are in use but the NOTE_1 parameters are omitted. Sometimes this indicates that a former note has been removed; sometimes it's a deliberate choice if there is a chance that a future note might be desired to show in that position. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 18:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC) |

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]] |
|||
The file [[:File:WSHZ-FM.jpg]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern: |
|||
<blockquote>'''Non-free former logo being used in a [[:WP:DECORATIVE]] manner in [[:WMUS#Previous logo]] which fails [[:WP:NFCC#8]]. Non-free former logos can be used as long as their use complies with [[:WP:NFC#cite_note-4]] and this almost always means the logo itself about the logo and the associated change in brandling that led to its replacement is the subject of sourced critical commentary. Simply adding the logo to "show" what it looks like is not considered sufficient to satisfy [[:WP:NFC#CS]], except in cases where the logo is being used for primary identification purposes at the top of or in the main infobox of an article about the organization the logo represents.'''</blockquote> |
|||
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]]. |
|||
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[File talk:WSHZ-FM.jpg|the file's talk page]]. |
|||
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion|files for discussion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 07:37, 3 August 2022 (UTC) |

The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. |

== M.A.S.K. UK VHS releases (edit I made) == |
|||
My edit to the M.A.S.K. UK VHS releases was correct, in that a large number of the 65 first season episodes were only broadcast and never commercially released. My edit, that there were four VHS releases, distributed under ‘Golden Book Video’ (‘Golden Vision’), featuring two episodes of the racing series (season 2), and regarding the rare ‘St. Michael’ video, featuring the two racing series (season 2) episodes - ‘For One Shining Moment’ and ‘High Noon’, was additionally correct (when one wouldn’t expect all 10 episodes of season 2, the racing series, to be commercially released, when episodes of most shows are only broadcast).

Deletion discussion about WTBI-FM
Hello JPG-GR, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, WTBI-FM, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WTBI-FM.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Chris troutman}}
. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
