Hossam Mohammed Amin
Hi, recently edits claiming that WMD were found extensively in Iraq and the guilt of Hossam Mohammed Amin have been added to the article Hossam Mohammed Amin. Since I noticed you have edited this article in the past, perhaps you would be interested in helping to resolve the BLP issue.--I am One of Many (talk) 17:51, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

On the Mall
You previously (in 2007) removed a brief article on Edwin Franko Goldman's "On the Mall" march. Nonetheless, this march is famous with marching bands, and it is the most well known composition by Goldman. Will you approve another attempt to create an article on that march? Rammer (talk) 03:39, 12 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi! Sure, I have no objection at all; in fact an article on the subject would be welcomed. The only reason the previous version was deleted was because it had two sentences with no context at all, so wasn't intelligible even as a stub. --Delirium (talk) 10:17, 12 September 2013 (UTC)


 * All right. I'll see about the need. My personal sense on article length is that even a short article should have at least THREE sentences, meaning a beginning, a middle, and an end. Don't get on an airplane unless it has a nose, a fuselage, and a tail. Rammer (talk) 21:29, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Carl Bock


A tag has been placed on Carl Bock requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Mentoz86 (talk) 13:57, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited August Ahlborn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kunstverein. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * Thanks for creating all these articles! Yeah, I find adding coordinates enjoyable as downtime now and then between "real" work. Some of them are easy to find, others require a bit of research to track down (mainly in the case of buildings no longer extant). --Delirium (talk) 02:01, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Wildfire
Hello! I have recently started a new WikiProject and am trying to recruit new members. The project, WikiProject Wildfire, focuses on articles that relate to wildfires. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. From updating templates, to classifying and improving articles. Any level of commitment is welcome! If you care to just add some input on the founding of the new project, awesome. If you would like to take an active role in editing articles, that is awesome as well! Knowledge of wildfires is NOT a prerequisite for joining the project. In fact, it would be great to have some members of the project who are NOT fire-buffs. That way we make sure that articles aren't just written by and for people in the fire community. If this is something you have any interest in, I would love to have you join the project! Please feel free to join the discussion or leave me a message on my talk page. (Note that you are receiving this message from me because I saw you made multiple edits on a wildfire related page, specifically Old Fire. Not just spamming you at random.) Hope you have a great day!

Proposed deletion of H.E.R.R.


The article H.E.R.R. has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Notability: does not meet WP:NBAND. Only one member is notable (and not as a musician), failing criterion #5. No sources listed and no RS could be found.

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 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 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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:43, 6 November 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) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Rivier
Good evening Delirium, I've come here because of an article that has been suggested for deletion in the German Wikipedia: de:Rivier. Over there, some argue that the term rivier would not actually be a specific term for dry river beds in Namibia but that it would signify nothing more than river (as it does in Afrikaans, see af:Rivier). Now, we have found that the Namibian German which was used in colonial times actually did borrow the term rivier from Afrikaans and did narrow its meaning from river to dry river (bed). But the question remains if this actually established a general regional term or not. I am writing all this because a long time ago :), you wrote the magic sentence Rivier can mean Wadi, dry riverbed, called rivier in southwest Africa. Do you remember the source of your information back then? The word rivier does pop up in English texts, but in my impression only occasionally. Do you have any more information on that? That would be tremendous. Thanks and best regards, --Andropov (talk) 20:02, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Andropov! Surprisingly enough I was able to remember why I wrote that disambiguation page. I had previously written Tsauchab, which used the term, so I wanted somewhere for the link to go. Alas, I don't think I had an especially solid source. I was in fact translating a German Wikipedia article originally: the initial version of Tsauchab was largely a translation of what used to be at de:Tsauchab, though that edit history has since ended up at de:Sesriem-Canyon due to a page move. In that version, the German Wikipedia described it as a rivier and linked to de:rivier, the article now in question for deletion, which then, like now, claimed it was a Namibia-specific term. I naturally looked it up on the English Wikipedia to see if it was also used in English. There was at the time no English article at rivier, but the article wadi did at the time have this sentence: In southwestern Africa, the term rivier is used. I think between that sentence, and doing a little poking around on Google Books, I convinced myself that people did call the Tsauchab a rivier in English and that it meant something close enough to wadi to be worth having a disambiguation page at rivier linking to wadi. But I don't remember specifically which books I would've run across on Google Books. In any case, since then, all three articles in question (en:wadi, en:Tsauchab, and de:Tsauchab) have been edited to remove the term, so the disambiguation makes less sense now (unless you manage to turn up a better source!). --Delirium (talk) 20:38, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Wow, thank you so much for this very precise recollection! Unfortunately, I have not found much more in English texts. But I will have another, more thorough look around and will report any incidents back to you :) Kind regards and thanks again, --Andropov (talk) 22:54, 9 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Not that I have found much more, but you might be interested in the thorough (yet not exhaustive) list another user prepared of the various terms used worldwide for dry rivers/intermittent rivers at de:Benutzer Diskussion:W!B: (see also this PDF (p. 206) as the main source). The article de:Rivier has been saved from deletion today, but as of yet it remains to be seen if it can be expanded again. Best regards, --Andropov (talk) 22:55, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Delirium, ranting, and other delusions
Please note my ranting at Talk:Metropole. Your comment combined with the actual situation revealed from the page history hit a sore nerve. There is a second-level of vandalism continuing here at Wikipedia. That vandalism is the cumulative effects of ill-disciplined, ignorant, uncaring, artless fumblers who yet still believe they know everything. My rant has everything to do with the damage that such 'editors' do to WP. I've been freaking about this for awhile (see User:Shenme).

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:15, 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)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Please consider improving the page to address 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 articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
