hi - thanks for the message about my "zman tzeiruf" page and others. I didn't expect the pages to last - it was just an experiment in seeing if iyun gemara could be organized well enough for something like wikipedia.

Jonny Cline deletion
Jon, Hi, I would like to ask the grounds upon which you deleted my page. I would like to ask for it to be reinstated. I have no intention of using Wikipedia as a resume, but I do work in high profile positions, and am published frequently, and would therefore think myself eligable for a mention that can be developed by others as they choose to add to my biography and archive. How and when can you rectify this situation?

Bible and history categories
Hi Jon, please contribute to the discussion I just started at Category talk:Ancient Israel and Judah. - Fayenatic (talk) 14:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Question
Hello Jon513, I recently created a new, referenced article for the upcoming Shahrukh Khan film, My Name is Khan which is now in production. In editing the article, a notice came up that you had deleted this article in the past due to a discussion a year ago which voted for deletion. I read the discussion and it seems that at the time it made sense to delete since there was not a great deal of information on the project. However, consensus also seemed to indicate that when production begins an article should be made. My article reflects a number of future articles that I've made for the Wikipedia and was made under Assume good faith. However, when I'm editing the article, the deletion notice still comes up. I am perplexed by this for as I said, current articles indicate that production has clearly started (you can also check on Google News to see that this is so). I wonder if you could clarify this for me. Thank you, -Classicfilms (talk) 20:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, this is always an issue with future film articles. I've left a note on the article talk page - take a look and let me know if I need to say anything else. My major concern was a little different however - when I first began editing My Name is Khan, this page:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=My_Name_is_Khan
 * would appear in place of my edits and I could not tell if the system was set up to make it impossible to recreate the article. I wanted to alert you to this in case there was something you needed to do to allow the article to be recreated. This page is no longer appearing, but I think you were right to suggest that I leave a note on the talk page. Thanks for your help and let me know if I need to do anything else, -Classicfilms (talk) 21:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppet problem
Hello Jon513, we have a problem on wikipedia-nl and your name came up since a checkuser performed today showed you created a sockpuppet recently which was used in a weird way for possible article manipulation with us.

Request for adminship... 3?
Hi Jon513, it's now been over half a year since my previous request for the mop, and reviewing that RfA reveals that you were one of my opposers last time round. I was wondering if you'd like to comment on my current status in the Wikipedia community, and if you believe I would be ready to run for adminship again in future?

Printable parshah
Thanks for your effort to make the parshah pages more printable. Switching to the Bibleverse format is a splendid thing; I wish I had time to help your efforts along. You model would also imply that I should not link to the Mishnah text anymore. I suppose you have to weigh the value of a clean printable page against the ability to link to a Mishnah text and do further reading there online. I'm not sure that the answer is clearly in favor of the paper version over the online version. If only there were a Mishnahverse equivalent to the Bibleverse format. Thanks for your good wishes and good work. All the best. -- Dauster (talk) 09:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

An interesting AfD
"Unwashed masses try to explain Kumzitz to WP editors!" . Joe407 (talk) 05:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

an unimportant comment on the nazarite article (since I do not really plan on editing it anytime soon.)

 * I forgot if I replied on the article talk page since your reply on mine. Maybe I had just said since the Rastafarian view is there the modern Essene one should be.  I do not completely know why Jewish Orthodox would say only Pharisees are accurate.  I had thought at least Sadducces would be too, though I know little about these schools.  However I dispute such use of the term 'Orthodox.'  Christian Orthodoxy considers Catholicism to be sufficiently Orthodox in its viewpoints about Christianity (but not the Pope,) and I suspect even the tens of Orthodox churches have some varying viewpoints, so why would any mere one or two Jewish schools of thought be considered all of 'Orthodox?'  Using the term like that is sort of inflammatory, especially since there is apparently no pre-mediaeval copy of the Torah and so the objections of the Essenes--or those attributed to them (but probably in history I have not read in-depth)--are just as valid about the Torah as other groups, because there is no (dis)proof for any one view.  Finally, if there is some Heterodox view it should be represented.  Maybe the Rasta addition was unfair and there should not be a modern Essene addition unless it is supported.  However, if I find a historical view I would probably add it even if it is Heterodox.  I still think the article should not be so conservative, but I guess that is up to people who know more about it.  What I wrote was based on a researcher that has a Phd Divinity, but he is not a very formal writer and did not cite much in what I have read, though he says he sticks to historical sources, and the only sources I have read from him are historical (besides a few others with unprovable viewpoints that he describes so and does not really say much else about or push their point.)  Maybe one day I will get some more info but for now I guess I will not be editing the article.--Dchmelik (talk) 02:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Ritual Slaughter or "Religious Slaughter"?
Seems to me that the standard term today now for bringing muslim slaughter and jewish slaughter under one term is Religious Slaughter. Try searching for these terms and Religious slaughter gives close to three million hits - ritual slaughter less. Also the EU project DIALREL (Dialogue on Religious Slaughter) uses one of these terms and not the other. Here are the participating Consortium and here is their Glossary:. Please note, the term Ritual Slaughter does not appear. Perhaps because there is no ritual involved (an idea antisemites wanted to encourage).

The Yiddish for Shechita / Shehitah is shekhtn. This gave rise to the German word Schächten - and the Swedish word skäktning. Somewhere in between, there is a word in German Shächtung.

Surely, if the current terminology is to be used by people in the business, Religious Slaughter ought to be the standard term. I have one terminological discussion in Swedish, but so far nothing in English. The Swedish discussion very much wants to lose the term Ritual Slaughter as it so happens that it is too similar to Ritual Murder (in English, called Blood Libel. It just so happens that there was a Ritual Murder accusation at the start of the campaigns against Jewish slaughter, where in Hungary, a Jewish slaughterer (shohet/shochet) was tortured in order to admit a murder of a five-year-old girl. But her body was found in the river and her throat was not cut. The Cause celèbre was used in the Swiss campaign to ban Jewish slaughtering. RPSM (talk) 16:38, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Jon513,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Hi Just checking in as to the content for [] that you deleted in March 2008.

 * The content was about something to do with Jon Poole, but it was unclear what. It was speedy delete-able for lacking context ("God Damn Whores is the branchild of British musician Jon Poole..." what is it? Almost anything can be a "brainchild"), and because the author blanked the page which I understood to mean that he wanted it to be deleted.  If you want to recreated it I have no problem with it.

Dead Redirect link from the past
Ahoi m8 I can't verify if there is any truth to the bio you deleted as I have not read it. Nor can I verify if the bio is really the proper voice actor in question. A bio link for a Randy Pearlstein was deleted in 2008 while he has been listed as the voice actor for a character in the 2010 TV show Ugly Americans. If I can verify this would you have objections to it being revived? Thank you for your valuable time.

 * The article was deleted because it is did not make a claim of notability, and appeared to me to be a vanity or joke article. the content was:
 * Randy Pearlstein is an American Actor and Screenplay Writer. He is one Cool Dude. He has also appeared in the Chappelles show short "Dudes Night Out".
 * If he is really a notable actor and not just a "Cool Dude" I have no problem with a sourced article being created about him. Jon513 (talk) 10:00, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello
Hello,

I'm Leeds United FC fan, a member of WikiProject Rugby league. I noticed you recently deleted a page on the Deletion log, and as you seem to be involved in deletion of articles, I would appreciate it if you could determine whether a page is notable for creation. I would be interested in creating a page for the 2015–16 Elite One Championship.

The league appears to be professional and semi-professional. La Depeche (regional newspaper) (in 2011) reported Elite One Championship budgets on this page: La Depeche page though I'm still not fully certain the clubs are professional/semi-professional (and the budgets could changed since). For the 2015–16 season, L'Équipe provides a league table here and the most recent results as of writing this here. La Depeche (regional newspaper) has a page here for news on Rugby league in general (includes Catalans Dragons who play in the Super League instead) though does have Elite One Championship news too.

The French Wikipedia has a page for the 2015–16 Elite One Championship here. L'Indépendant (regional newspaper) has news on Rugby league in general (includes Catalans Dragons who play in the Super League instead) though does have Elite One Championship news too.

A judgement on whether my topic is notable enough for creation would be appreciated.

Resign, willya?
Dear Jon513: Time for you to resign your adminstratorship. According to your contribution log you have: You haven't edited regularly in this decade for chrissakes. If you wake up and want to go back to admining fine but you'll want to run a new RfA so the community can reassure itself that your skills haven't gone rusty since, I dunno, the Bush Administration. Coming back once a year to make one edit retains your admin rights, but I'm sure that just a coincidence -- right? You wouldn't disrespect the project to the point of exploiting that technicality on purpose to retain your admin rights -- right? Herostratus (talk) 07:45, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

By all means, get active! Consider this a wake-up call to beckon you to return to a reasonably high level of productivity (it's fun!). This'd be the best outcome, and in that case, I don't think anyone would object to your keeping your admin powers. But if you put it off another year or so it'd be too late, in my opinion. Come back!

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)

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.

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)

22:52, 15 April 2022 (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.
