Harald the Old
Hello, I was wondering if you could help find reliable spurces for this? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 08:30, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh my... this is one of those articles I wrote in a haste, covering an area of Norse myth. I added the primary sources he appeared in, planning to add secondary sources later for this article and some other ones. I simply don't have the time to do it at the moment. Unless someone wants to adopt it, I suggest you post it for deletion. Best,--Berig (talk) 08:28, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't do that! I added 2 further reading articles. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Hrethling
Template:Hrethling has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Magioladitis (talk) 23:36, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * This is an easily verifiable family tree. In those early and innocent days of Wikipedia when I made it, you weren't expected to add a bibliography for that kind of template. You'd probably better remove it since I have too much to do IRL to commit myself to adding a bibliography, ATM.--Berig (talk) 16:19, 13 May 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.

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)

Frakkland listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Frakkland. Since you had some involvement with the Frakkland redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Thryduulf (talk) 12:30, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

no, that'd be you who is wrong

ArbCom 2019 special circular
   

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:37, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

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 required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, 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, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

WP:CIR issues
Hi Berig,

You'll recall from Knyaz, where he is claiming, based on sources that do not say that, that knyaz is not a loanword from Germanic. I'm having some major wp:CIR issues with him, see the following diffs: ,, and this talk page discussion User talk:Noraskulk. He seems to just revert improvements made to anything he's done as well, see. Is there anything that can be done at this point?--Ermenrich (talk) 14:59, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you are handling it the right way. If things turn sour you will have to go to WP:RFC.--Berig (talk) 15:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
