It was then deleted and the entire thrust of the article changed by a MartinBot? You then reverted that edit, whereupon the Bot changed it back again. I think the unedited article was best too, but (I'm not that "wikiphisticated") I don't know whether I should persist in trying to correct the article. Was his edit an "automatic function"? If you know what I mean. Thanks for any info you can provide. Ersutton1 (talk) 23:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC) Hi Ersutton, in checking the edits you, MartinBot, and I made, we were reverting the edits by this IP to your version. The IP was vandalizing and we have Bot accounts that run semi-automated to detect obvious vandalism (such as this edit right after yours) and revert it. So fear not, your edit stayed! :) ~Eliz81(C) 01:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC) Why Zohra Sarwari page was deleted? I have written the article on her myself and her "indication of importance" is that she is a motivational speaker, life coach and author and she teaches adults and youth especially teens through her book that how they can become entrepreneurs. I attended her speeches and found her a very impressive speaker. She has also been interviewed on Noor TV, Ariana International and Payame Afghan. And I have seen her videos on youtube. Please allow it I have tried my best to follow wikipedia's rules.--Silver00 (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2008 (UTC) Joel Clark Hi, You deleted an entry I composed last night of Joel Clark. I would like to know why you have deleted it. What can I do in the future to ensure it is not deleted? He is a unique spiritual artist of Ancient Egyptian paintings and deserves an entry due to his completed works. You stated 'Does not contain significance of a person'. What more information does one require to legitimize a significant person? Do you have a backup of the delete article for me? Looking forward to your response. Cameron CCashmore (talk) 13:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC) Hank Green You locked the Hank Green page back in May, after the page was deleted for the umpteenth time. Since then, Mr. Green has gained quite some notability. Would you be willing to unlock the page to give us the opportunity to write a better article? (I've got a draft in my personal sandbox, if you're interested) Otherwise I'll go via the deletion review, but I believe it's standard policy to invite the administrator in question to consider it before going there. On a related matter, in your opinion, do you think the Brotherhood 2.0 project (and the subsequent "Nerdfighter" community) would be notable enough for a separate article? Thanks in advance. JoinTheMadVender (talk) 00:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC) My concerns about single purpose accounts with a conflict of interest who wish to promote someone still stand. But feel free to take to deletion review. ~Eliz81(C) 00:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC) Do you think it would be wise for me to discuss the issues about the "Hank Green" page in the deletion review of the "Hank green" page? Because I am convinced that the "Hank green" page should be deleted, but I am also convinced that a new "Hank Green" article should be created. I'm sure I'll lose the battle on that particular deletion review. And it will be justified :) JoinTheMadVender (talk) 14:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC) Happy Holidays, my dear Eliz!

I hated coming off as needy. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 03:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Hey: It's me, Robert. Feels a tad funny to be able to edit as a free man, albeit with restrictions, I know. Say, I was just wondering -- that's a lie, I have had this on my mind for a while -- if you've finished "moving house" would you consider restoring the edits you deleted between late April 2008 and early July 2008. You indicated last year at the first unbanning that you wouldn't do so until the unban went through. None of the articles during that period refer to The Troubles, that hot topic. If you want or you're too busy I can compile the list and email it to you. Thanks, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:04, 27 February 2009 (UTC) Done! ~Eliz81(C) 00:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC) Thanks!

In addition, an unpublished subpage was deleted which resulted in a loss of text which I would like back. Sources were included and wiki guidelines were followed. PLease let me know what else is necessary. (Chairbloom (talk) 19:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)) Following Wikipedia formatting guidelines does not ensure against blatant advertising and using opinions instead of facts. I've restored your article in your userspace here (by the way, make sure you don't precede User: with Wikipedia: when creating a userpage), but without a significant rewrite for tone and peacock words (such as 'leading', 'innovative', 'cutting-edge'), it cannot be moved into article space. I suggest looking at some articles for large businesses for inspiration, since many small business articles suffer from similar stylistic problems. ~Eliz81(C) 05:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC) Drive-by hugs! ~*Big Giant Ariel Hugs*~ Ariel♥Gold 10:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC) Victoria Lindsay I saw you deleted that particular page but do you know whether we have an article on that incident?

(talk) 02:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC) Re Linda Skitka I removed the "transclusion" you added to the August 3 AfD log page, since you didn't add an AfD tag to the article and didn't create an AfD discussion page to be transcluded. (Twinkle error? I would have completed the nomination for you if I had any idea what your nomination rationale might have been.) If you still want to nominate the article for deletion, please try again, making sure that all three steps of the nomination process are followed. Deor (talk) 14:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Ah yes, that would've been a twinkle error. I'll try it again. ~Eliz81(C) 20:37, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Master Shake A tag has been placed on Master Shake, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Keeping in mind that it was concluded that Vanadium's protection length of 6 months was too long given the circumstances, and that it has been shortened to 24 hours, I invite you to reconsider the indefinite semi-protection you granted to Oxygen. I appreciate that Oxygen is not quite Beryllium, but please bear in mind Wikipedia's semi-protection policy, specifically its suggestion that indefinite protections should be considered only as a last resort after other measures have failed.

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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I'm writing to inquire about the previous 2008 deletion of Lily Holbrook. The current listing of Lily Holbrook under the list of requested pages points to two independent publications which clearly state the notability of Lily, one of the most successful busking-street musicians playing in America. Evidence of her rise from street performing to signing on to a Virgin/EMI subsidiary and opening for Brian Wilson and playing All Points West music festival in 2009 is easy to verify and, in conjunction with the two publications (The Boston Globe and Washington Post) it's my understanding that Lily clearly meets notability guidelines specified by Wikipedia. The articles and accolades referenced above cover a span of years (not temporary) and, more importantly, were outlined by several independent print sources as the subject of articles (not just a mention). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.56.37 (talk) 04:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC) Eliz81- After contacting you twice to see about making changes to the previous deleted Lily Holbrook page, which I believe meets notability guidelines, I will attempt to re-create the page myself.

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 communityHERE, 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: Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes. Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.) All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so. All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time. The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly. 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 nameHERE 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.

What do you think instead of sending searches for think to the think (disambiguation) page, which has thought right at top in case there is any confusion? Your redirect also appears to be keeping the article for think (disambiguation) from appearing on the top of Google searches, with results for the thinkwiki.org web site coming up instead at #1 for "think wiki" searches.

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.

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.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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.

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.

The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created. Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work. Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC) A new user right for New Page Patrollers Hi Eliz81. 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.

Wikipedia:Pending changes/Request for Comment 2016 closed with no consensus for implementing Pending changes level 2 with new criteria for use. Following an RfC, an activity requirement is now in place for bots and bot operators. Technical news When performing some administrative actions the reason field briefly gave suggestions as text was typed. This change has since been reverted so that issues with the implementation can be addressed. (T34950) Following the latest RfC concluding that Pending Changes 2 should not be used on the English Wikipedia, an RfC closed with consensus to remove the options for using it from the page protection interface, a change which has now been made. (T156448) The Foundation has announced a new community health initiative to combat harassment. This should bring numerous improvements to tools for admins and CheckUsers in 2017. Arbitration The Arbitration Committee released a response to the Wikimedia Foundation's statement on paid editing and outing. Obituaries JohnCD (John Cameron Deas) passed away on 30 December 2016. John began editing Wikipedia seriously during 2007 and became an administrator in November 2009. Discuss this newsletter • Subscribe • Archive 13:36, 1 February 2017 (UTC) You've got mail!
