can You restore this statbyu in my personal space?--Kaiyr (talk) 08:10, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Responding to your request...
...from four years ago. Yes, I'm serious :) Don't ask me how I got around to that talk page archive. XKCD had something about this once; you start somewhere on Wikipedia, and later you're at a totally disconnected place. Ah! here it is! Anyway, if you want to do NFC related work, there's always loads to do. It's thankless, full of insults, lack of respect, agony, a few hours in the pit of despair for each minute spent doing it, etc. You get the picture. But, some great places to start: It is perhaps ironic that Δ/Betacommand still maintains those tools, despite having been banned from the project more than three years ago.
 * Pages with excessive non-free files
 * Non-free files that are frequently used
 * NFCC#9 violations

Of note: I've largely given up on NFCC enforcement, though I still occasionally dabble. The project doesn't really care about this stuff. There's an ever increasing amount of non-free content here (over half a million images now), and it shows no signs of slowing down. Most of the NFCC enforcers have long been shoved off the project or given up on it entirely. So, violations lay around forever. Example Draft:CAA Health & Dental Insurance has had an NFCC #9 violation for seven months now. This is hardly isolated. There used to be a time when people would dump album covers onto a discography and it would be removed within a day, if not within an hour. Now, they sit around for over a month; Gina G singles discography. And character lists? Oh the wars that were waged regarding those. People fought tooth and nail to retain per-character images instead of having a cast image at the top of the article. Of course now, they've won. It's fallen out of vogue to remove per-character images now. Example. That's a two year old version of that article, and to this day it still has per-character images. The violations might be even older than that. I just went back two years.

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.

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) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
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 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.
