Nomination for deletion of Template:Motto
Template:Motto has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:40, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Implementation of Bureaucrats
You are receiving this message because you are listed at Bureaucrats. Writ Keeper pointed out that these users were not directly notified of the community discussion ending August 2015, where consensus was reached to remove the bureaucrat permissions of users who have not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years.

As of 1 October 2015, any former bureaucrat who has not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years that wishes their bureaucrat permissions restored will need to request reinstatement at RFB.

If you intend to return to bureaucrat activity, please request restoration of permissions before 1 October 2015 or three years passes since your last bureaucrat activity, whichever is later.

Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "Inactive bureaucrat accounts" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at Steward requests/Permissions. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.

To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see Bureaucrat activity. Modeled after Inactive administrators and similar to that process, the log page will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.

If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFB. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. –xenotalk 20:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Note
Following up the last note I left you regarding implementing bureaucrat activity requirements, please note that any potential restoration of permissions is also subject to Bureaucrats: a former bureaucrat who has been completely inactive for three years would need to seek reinstatement at WP:RFB notwithstanding my last note. –xenotalk 12:44, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2016
As a participant of WikiProject LGBT studies, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
 * Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
 * Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
 * Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 20:01, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Antisemitism
Just wanted to let you know that I have tagged Antisemitism with Historical since it seems as though the page may never have been considered for promotion to essay or policy after its creation and only edit about five years ago. I have no prejudice with something else happening to the page to fix or upgrade its status (such as it being userfied, etc.) Steel1943  (talk) 20:30, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timeline of Turkish history, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Justice and Development Party. 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.

Links to redirects are not broken
I have again reverted edits of yours that do nothing more than creating a piped link to avoid a redirect. This is not recommended, for reasons explained in WP:NOTBROKEN and other guidelines linked from there. I remember [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fixed-wing_aircraft&diff=prev&oldid=737753568 this is not the first time] I have reverted for this reason. In fact, your edit history shows [//tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/summary.py?name=Ed+Poor&search=reduce+redirect&server=enwiki&max=500&ns= hundreds] of edits with the summary "reduce redirect". There is nothing wrong with links pointing to a redirect - please do not change them unless you think the article benefits from different wording, or the link can be simplified per WP:NOPIPE. Burninthruthesky (talk) 08:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Golly, I just read not broken and I'm shocked at all my wasted effort. Ahem, perhaps I should say, "counterproductive":
 * the systematic "fixing of redirects" may eradicate useful information
 * Thanks for stopping me before I make things still worse. :-( --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:29, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Please consider reactivation at MedCom
This is being sent to you because you are listed as an emeritus member of MedCom and an examination of your contribution page suggests that you are still active at en-Wikipedia. MedCom is currently down to three or four active members (there are more than that on the active member list, but some of them have not edited Wikipedia in quite awhile). We have a current case awaiting a mediator which is receiving no response from the request for a mediator sent on the MedCom mailing list a couple of days ago, Requests for mediation/Expulsion of Cham Albanians. Would you please consider reactivating your membership, taking that case, or both? If you're interested in doing so and are not still on the MedCom mailing list, please just let me know and I'll reactivate you and add you to the list. Best regards, 19:43, 5 October 2016 (UTC) (current MedCom chairperson)
