After the video game character infobox was merged with the fictional character infobox, the italics became redundant. For a better explanation look at Nathan Drake who page currently italics on his series template and Elena Fisher where I removed them. User No. 99 (talk) 17:51, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:St08-uss enterprise e.png


A tag has been placed on File:St08-uss enterprise e.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – Batreeq ( Talk ) (Contribs) 00:49, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Update to DotA screenshot
Hey, there. I'm just letting you know that I've tweaked the description of File:Dota allstars game.jpg, to reflect on the Library of Congress' filing for the Dota copyright. According to the copyright, the final version - 6.83 - is co-claimed by both Blizzard and Valve, so I included Valve, as well.  D ÅRTH B ØTTØ ( T • C ) 20:14, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

FAC mentor
Hi, I've created the page for Un célebre especialista sacando muelas en el gran Hotel Europa and got it promoted to GA; since then, I've cleaned up the citations and expanded on the reception, context, and debate surrounding the film. I would now like to get it to FA standard, and saw you are listed as willing to mentor and peer review for this process and are interested in film; I'd love any recommendations you have. I've also asked other users who may be able to help, so no worries if not! Kingsif (talk) 02:13, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey Kingsif I'd be happy to take a look. Remind me in a week or so if I haven't posted comments on the talk page (I'm terrible about following through on wiki stuff these days so badgering helps.) Cheers. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 19:51, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Myst-soundtrack.png


The file File:Myst-soundtrack.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Myst (series). Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article; so, there's no real justification for non-free use and no real loss of encyclopedic information to the reader due to omitting the file from the article."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:50, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

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 02:29, 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)

Disambiguation link notification for May 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Age of Empires II, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Frank and Barbarossa ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Age_of_Empires_II check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Age_of_Empires_II?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your DYK nomination for Art Deco architecture of New York City
David,

Thanks so much for creating the article Art Deco architecture of New York City and nominating it for DYK! I really enjoyed reading and reviewing it. There are a couple items that need to be addressed before I pass the nomination: the presence of "this section needs expansion" templates and the handful of raw URLs for web sources in the references, which should use the cite web template instead.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this article. I look forward to passing it for DYK shortly! Happy editing!

Question
Hey, quick question about your unblock of MPS1992. I originally blocked, and I don't think I was involved unless I was missing something? Cyber apparently was blocking at the same time as me, which is why it looked like it in the block log, but the original 48 hour block was mine after I gave a warning. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:40, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey TonyBallioni, you’re correct—I didn’t see your block in the recent log. If you want to reinstate the block that’s fine, I was only referring to Cyber’s block. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 20:42, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, easy mistake to make. I'll put it back since given the talk page discussion since, my bet is that they'll go back to the same issues on the talk page. Anyway, thanks for the quick response :) TonyBallioni (talk) 20:45, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Heh, I'm an idiot at misread the logs. It was about to expire anyway, and I went ahead and unblocked after reblocking because I don't get the point of a 3.something hour block and another 24 seems unfair. Anyway, thanks again for being so quick to respond. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:52, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , how on earth can you possibly consider me involved? I have no grudge or bias against this user.  My only “involvement” was to repeatedly tell the user to stop acting like an ass which they didn’t do, which equates to warning the user of policy violations.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 22:44, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * You instigated the entire argument with the user in question by waving around a "I'm an admin, what are you?" dismissive attitude. You were participating in the discussion. The fact that you don't see how that meets the threshold of INVOLVED is a problem. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 23:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , yea. That was a poor choice of words on my part. My intent was to say we all contribute differently in different areas.  My attitude was hardly dismissive as I later apologized to the user because of my poor choice of words.  It still did not excuse him to start attacking other users too, after multiple warnings to stop.  So while I may have instigated an argument, unintentionally, I certainly didn’t get sucked into it.  I’m generally great at establishing when I’m involved, but this one didn’t meet the threshold in my opinion, as all I was trying to do was to get the user to stop being uncivil.  That is to say, I have no biases, opinions, or malintent against this user.— CYBERPOWER  (Around ) 12:13, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * As an added note, I'm not saying I'm not willing to consider myself being in the wrong here, just trying to understand by sharing my viewpoint.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 14:20, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Mummy 1999 film
Hey I understand why you reverted the mummy page and I expected it. But it's difficult to read. There's a doctorate level article on a film from 1999. Isn't there any way to improve it? This isn't two sentences?

"Filming began in Marrakech, Morocco, on May 4, 1998, and lasted seventeen weeks; the crew had to endure dehydration, sandstorms, and snakes while filming in the Sahara."

Thanks! Peppage (talk) 21:44, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
