New York Methodist Hospital
editHello Daniel--I checked out the Help section and read that the best way to talk to someone about company page updates is to reach out to an editor familiar with page. As you were one of the admins to block our hobbyist harasser, I thought I ask you. Please forgive any missteps. I work in the public affairs office of the New York Methodist Hospital, and NYM will be going through a major rebranding soon, and due to conflict of interest issues, I know that I cannot do the updating myself (right?). However, I want to make sure that that editors (non-affiliated) are notified so that our page is at least up to date. I also want to mention that our page has been a point of contention for a certain individual (currently banned). Can someone please advise the best way to go about this? thanks 143.104.225.142 (talk) 15:06, 9 November 2016 (UTC)143.104.225.142
Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
editHello,
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
editHi Daniel/Archive.
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)

Anuradha Bhattacharyya
editDear Daniel, 2 years ago I had created a page by the name Anuradha Bhattacharyya, citing her as an Indian author. Recently, she has been awarded the Chandigarh Sahitya Akademi Award for best Book in English in 2016. The book is a novel titled One Word which was published in 2016 by Creative Crows: new Delhi. I think you can now publish her page as she has become 'notable'. Bhattacharyya is erroneously spelled with a single 'y' sometimes. I am showing you links to 3 places.
http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/education/sahitya-akademi-honour-for-writers/384418.html
http://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/NewsDetail/index/7/10416/An-Author-and-a-Poet-Speaks
https://kitaab.org/tag/anuradha-bhattacharyya/
I think these links are citations that prove her notability.
Thank you, AtulAtul Bhattacharyya (talk) 15:20, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

- Daniel, this editor has posted similar requests at my talk page and at Peridon's. In view of the fact that his editing has been contrary to the understanding on which he was unblocked, that he would not continue to attempt to use Wikipedia for self-promotion, and in view of this blatant admin shopping, I have blocked the account.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
edit
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.

Edit request: User talk:Daniel/Archive/54
edit | This edit request to User talk:Daniel/Archive/54 has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
User talk:Daniel/Archive/54 is generating high priority lint errors.
The following four requested changes will not affect page display, and will fix 3 high-priority and 1 medium-priority lint errors.
1. Remove the line break just before
{{Nowrap end}}</center>
This will remove one high-priority Paragraph wrapping bug workaround, one low-priority Stripped tags, and one low-priority Missing end tag. At this time, this is the one and only Paragraph wrapping bug workaround known in all of English Wikipedia, so it would be great to fix it.
2. Just above the line
{| style="background-color: transparent; border: none;"
insert a new line
|}
This will remove one high-priority Table tag that should be deleted.
3. Change the section
;Recent events<span style="font-size: 9pt;">{{*mp}} [[December 2|Dec 2]]: The project was the first WikiProject to receive the [[User:Durova/Triple crown winner's circle#Special edition WikiProject triple crowns|WikiProject Triple Crown]] from [[User:Durova|Durova]].{{*mp}} Nov [[November 26|26]] & [[November 28|28]]: [[WP:AFD|AfD]] debates opened for articles pertaining to the future [[Australian federal election, 2010|2010 election]] and the term "[[Prime Minister-elect]]".{{*mp}} [[November 26|Nov 26]]: Seven Australia-related articles were promoted to [[WP:FA|featured article]] status, making November 2007 WikiProject Australia's "FA Month".
</span>

This will remove one high-priority Misnested tag with different rendering in HTML5 and HTML4 and one low-priority Stripped tags.
4. In the section
<s>Hi,
I'm curious as to why you made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_mediation/Banu_Qurayza&diff=176868222&oldid=176820517 this edit]. I checked, [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation/Banu Qurayza|the mediation talk page]], [[Talk:Banu Qurayza|the article talk page]], [[User talk:Daniel|your talk page]], [[User talk:Str1977|Str1977's talk page]] and [[User talk:Shell Kinney|Shell Kinney's talk page]], but found no evidence that Str1977 made this comment.
Is there any other venue of communication that I'm unaware of?[[User:Bless sins|Bless sins]] ([[User talk:Bless sins|talk]]) 02:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)</s>
- change the initial
<s>to<div style="text-decoration: line-through;"> - change the final
</s>to</div>
This will remove one medium-priority Misnested tags.
After these four changes, there will still be lint errors, but they will all be low priority.
Respectfully submitted, —Anomalocaris (talk) 18:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Anomalocaris: any chance you could copy the entire page to your userspace, fix it, and then link to it here? I will probably make a mistake while following the instructions above. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:05, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- MSGJ:
Done, at User:Anomalocaris/sandbox/Lint Test. That document displays with some red error messages at the top emanating from the user's header template {{User talk:Daniel/Archive/Header}}, which doesn't expect to be located in articles with the word "Lint" in their names. After the document is copied into User talk:Daniel/Archive/54, these red error messages won't appear in the target document.
- MSGJ:
- This is "guaranteed to work", but obviously I can't do the final test of actually doing it, so let me know after you do the copy (or if you have to revert for any reason). —Anomalocaris (talk) 09:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC)|}
