Tiergarten
I reverted this move per WP:RM see Talk:Tiergarten (park), this issue has not yet been settled as in the vast majority of sources an unqualified use of Tiergarten is more common than a qualified usage in English, and by far the most common unqualified usage is for the park.

As I have reverted your move please restore the edit history of the Tiergarten redirect. -- PBS (talk) 10:34, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * The (park) dab extension was a compromise, but that does not mean that the primary meaning is not the park, and as the (park) was a compromise it does no harm to leave Tiergarten, redirecting to it with a hat page to the dab (particularly as a number of those who participated in the debates were in favour of that name). If you look at my analysis of the sources in the first proposed move it is clear that in reliable English language sources an unqualified reference to Tiergarten is to the park. Since the Wall can down the district was subsumed into Mitte in 2001 so it no longer has the status of a borough, which means that new guidebooks etc are going to be referring to the borough. One of the criteria for an article title is Naturalness "that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles" and the natural name for the park is Tiergarten (as shown by the usage in English language sources (both reliable and unreliable)). -- PBS (talk) 19:44, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Geneva Jacuzzi
I'd like to know why the page "Geneva Jacuzzi" was deleted by YOU? It had numerous ref from legitimate publications. And why or how is a gem expert editing pages about musicians?? Comment by 178.0.100.25


 * I've replied at User talk:178.0.100.25. -Hadal (talk) 19:42, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Saying that there is an option to contest a deletion, is not answering the question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.0.62.255 (talk) 19:48, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Pac (wrestler)
Hi, I just saw you moved Pac (wrestler) to Neville (wrestler) as an uncontroversial move requested by IP. I wish you had looked at the article talkpage were a move already has been denied and a current request is pending with some editors has "opposed". How you could find it as "uncontroversial" really confuses me and it is almost amusing. Next time you might want to look first if it is controversial. I will revert your move as a controversial move. QED237&#160;(talk) 20:15, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I fail to see how an article that has had move request denied and currently has an open request, can be seen as not controversial. It even had a "copy-n-paste move" a few days ago. Were is the discussion you are talking about saying it should be moved? QED237&#160;(talk) 20:51, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I am sorry if I offended you in any way, that was not what I intended to do. Myself I would never have moved a page labelled as "uncontroversial" when a previous request had been denied and there was "oppose" in the most recent discussion, but that dont mean I had to be that aggressive. Sorry about that. <i style="font-family:Sans-serif"><b style="color:blue">QED</b><b style="color:red">237</b>&#160;<b style="color:green">(talk)</b></i> 21:43, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Geneva Jacuzzi
Bring back the Geneva Jacuzzi wiki page you talentless moron. Have you even bothered to check out any of her albums? Probably not, you piece of shit. Her albums alone make her worthy of having a wiki page. What the fuck have you created?

Page move over salting
Could you move Jesse Gonzalez (soccer) to Jesse Gonzalez, a page you create protected a few months ago? Having played in the United Soccer League, Gonzalez now meets WP:NSPORT. Thanks in advance. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:37, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

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)

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)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. —&thinsp;JJMC89 bot 00:06, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (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)
