Speedy deletion of USER:Ninecircles
Hi there, has my user account been deleted or just the user page? Or was it in relation to the Bodyguard: Hostage page I was in the middle of creating - this was an unfinished entry and no citations had yet been included? I was attempting to update and correct a lot of inaccurate and missing information on wiki regarding Chris Bradford and his books. This was the first time I'd attempted this, so apologies if I made some errors and that I wasn't able to complete the entry in one go. But I would appreciate not being speedily deleted as I am a novice at this. Is there a chance to reinstate the bodyguard page so the entry can be properly written?

Billings Ovulation Method
Edits were removing non authorized links which did not refer to the Billings Method but were promoting another method different from the Billings Method. Please do not allow. They keep returning.

stiki edit
Hi CAPTAIN RAJU, just so you know, in this edit you thought you were reverting vandalism, but you were actually putting it back. --Trovatore (talk) 07:07, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Use of CE and BCE
The two abbreviations are not part of standard usage, even in scientific articles. AD and BC are still commonly used. The use of the CE etc. is usually the hallmark of groups/individuals who are part of an anti-Christian agenda--e.g. Jews and hardcore atheists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrizzlyEchols (talk • contribs) 19:30, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Recent change rejected, looking for some more explanation
Hi,

I made a recent change (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kayapo&diff=prev&oldid=772550106) to correct a spelling mistake and it was undone because it wasn't "constructive". Can you explain why? "Now a days" is a spelling error, I was just looking to fix it.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awmars (talk • contribs) 02:03, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

 * , Hi. It may surprise you to learn that your orders are not relevant as regards the content of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a social media platform where content is under the control of article subjects, it is an encyclopedia and expected to be written from a neutral point of view that reflects what has elrady been published by independent reliable sources.

A close from for more than 20 years, we just learned of his passing this moment, through various posts on Facebook by friends with longer associations, such as Cleve Jones.

AfC template removal
Hi. I'm not sure why you removed the AfC template from Draft:Alice Waddington, but I've restored it because without the submission button, new users often get confused about the process for getting their draft accepted. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:55, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * has suggested that this might be due to a glitch, so I apologise if it was due to the software rather than you! Cordless Larry (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – April 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2017).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg TheDJ
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Xnuala • CJ • Oldelpaso • Berean Hunter • Jimbo Wales • Andrew c • Karanacs • Modemac • Scott

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a discussion on the backlog of unpatrolled files, consensus was found to create a new user right for autopatrolling file uploads. Implementation progress can be tracked on Phabricator.
 * The BLPPROD grandfather clause, which stated that unreferenced biographies of living persons were only eligible for proposed deletion if they were created after March 18, 2010, has been removed following an RfC.
 * An RfC has closed with consensus to allow proposed deletion of files. The implementation process is ongoing.
 * After an unsuccessful proposal to automatically grant IP block exemption, consensus was found to relax the criteria for granting the user right from needing it to wanting it.

Technical news
 * After a recent RfC, moved pages will soon be featured in a queue similar to Special:NewPagesFeed and require patrolling. Moves by administrators, page movers, and autopatrolled editors will be automatically marked as patrolled.
 * Cookie blocks have been deployed. This extends the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user if they switch accounts, even under a new IP.

Tech News: 2017-14
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * The  button now says   or   on most Wikipedias. The point is to make it more clear that the edit will change the page immediately.   is when you save a new page and   when you edit an existing page.
 * The tracking category    : is now added when a template loop is found. A template loop is for example when a template tries to use a second template that uses the first template.
 * English Wikipedia now has cookie blocks. It will come to more wikis in the future. This is an extension to the autoblock system so when a user is blocked, the next time they visit the wiki a cookie will be set. This means that even if the user switches accounts and to a new IP address the cookie will block them again.

Problems
 * Wikidata descriptions, aliases and labels that used some characters could not be saved. This has now been fixed.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 April. It will be on all wikis from 6 April (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 4 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
 * You can join the next office hour with the Wikidata team. The meeting will be on 5 April at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * New filters for Recent changes will come to Wikidata and Persian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Czech and Hebrew Wikipedia on 11 April. The new filters include filtering, highlighting and user intent prediction. User intent prediction means the filter tries to help editors determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later.
