Thank you very much!

But would you mind also deleting User:Tharthan/Mailbox/ as well, which redirects to the same page? I think I mislinked it before, as Tharthan/Mailbox. <input class="inputtext" name="pass" id="pass" tabindex="2" type="password">[1] Also, that was my bad in putting it in the talk page for "requests for discussion". I had forgotten that the "d" stood for "discussion" and not "deletion", and didn't notice it when I had gotten to the page. Whoops! Tharthandorf Aquanashi (talk) 01:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Done. If this happens again in your userspace, you can simply tag the page with {{db-user}} and it will go in the speedy deletion queue. - Eureka Lott 02:43, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Cleveland Art+Feminism Meetup

Hi, Eureka Lott, we would love to have your help at our event! Are you free to join us Saturday (11-5)? (I do hope that I this is the correct way to respond to your message: I am new to this!) LBonds (talk) 17:58, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

CAT:IPV

I nominated that page for deletion as the target page was going to be deleted (because its CfD nomination was closed as delete). It therefore is eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G8. Did you not notice that the linked page was going to be deleted, or did you notice? Gparyani (talk) 04:13, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I understood your rationale, thank you. In my opinion, G8 isn't intended to be used proactively. As long as the category exists, its shortcut should continue to function. In any case, this is a minor issue, and it soon will be rendered immaterial when both pages are deleted. - Eureka Lott 15:48, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks in advance

I have a question I hope you can help with: between you and Fluffernutter, who would you say is fatter? A few of us have a pool going. Oh and there's an over/under so exact LBS (or tonnes if that's more appropriate) would be great! Cheers! 185.22.183.202 (talk) 22:01, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for deleting my image. I requested the deletion because it was accidentally uploaded by me. Thanks! Fresh Sullivan (talk) 01:03, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Charles Sims and Charles Simms redirects

Hi EurekaLott - Thanks for fixing these two redirect pages. I thought I was being super efficient getting rid of an extra step in the disambiguations. I read the policy about disambiguation pages and I get it now. Redirects are cheap! You have educated me.--Foobarnix (talk) 01:24, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Gesellschaft der Ärzte in Wien

This article does not fit happily into the category Healthcare in Vienna. It's a medical learned society. Healthcare articles are about the organisation of treatment institutions.Rathfelder (talk) 15:03, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Northeast Ohio image help

A quick check of your Commons uploads shows that you generally upload only Flickr images, but I hope you don't mind me asking anyway. Would you be able/willing to help with illustrating unillustrated municipalities and townships in northeastern Ohio? I've created a tracking page for unillustrated jurisdictions, and I'll soon be adding a map for each county showing which spots don't yet have photos. Nyttend (talk) 18:00, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Unrelated to WP I know, but I just noticed a Flickr photo that you were credited with on the PD's story (4-22-2016) regarding the proposal for East Cleveland and the city merging. Nice. ;-) Ryecatcher773 (talk) 17:32, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, EurekaLott. 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:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

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)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

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.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi EurekaLott.

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.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Torracat redirect

'Sup EurekaLott! I'm the person who made all of the redirects for the Gen 7 Pokémon pages onto their list page.

Honestly, the reason that I even made the "Torracat (Pokémon)" redirect page was because all of the other Alola Pokémon on the List of Pokémon page had redirects from "NAME (Pokémon)," and I wanted to be consistent. I'm sorry if I caused any extra trouble by removing the unnecessary warning before the edit was reverted.
