Sargo edit
I was just watching a show on PBS about Elizebeth Smith Friedman and one of her many accomplishments was unmasking Johannes Siegfried Becker, codename "Sargo" who was the Nazi spymaster behind Operation Bolivar, so I don't know what you thought was not productive, but great job hitting the revert button before I had a chance to fix the link. You must be very happy with yourself.96.240.128.124 (talk) 05:30, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, first of all I didn't know that and secondly you created a red link which should not be present in see also at the top of the page . If you feel I made a mistake feel free to revert and leave a valid edit summary Kpg  jhp  jm  08:51, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Circular breathing
The caution/vandal tag you put on User talk:50.4.44.172 probably should have been a block. It's turning out to be game of wack-a-mole. The user got blocked already from another IP address. Just a heads up. Dana60Cummins (talk) 12:02, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thanks for the notice . Unfortunately I am not an administrator so I can't block someone . If you feel someone needs to be blocked make a report at Aiv or ANI .  Kpg  jhp  jm  15:20, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:NRE300LOGO.png
Thanks for uploading File:NRE300LOGO.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:49, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

ATI Dehiwala
Hey Buddy this ain’t my draft. Maybe you should notify the article’s creator and whilst you’re at can you remove your erroneous comments from my talk page. Thanks dude. Dan arndt (talk) 13:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Safura ubaid
Hello Kpgjhpjm, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Safura ubaid, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Barkeep49 (talk) 20:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – March 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2021). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg TJMSmith
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Boing! said Zebedee • Hiberniantears • Lear's Fool • Only • WGFinley

Interface administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg AmandaNP

Guideline and policy news
 * A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
 * A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
 * A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Page mover/delete-redirect.
 * A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
 * There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

Technical news
 * When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
 * When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
 * There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (T275322).

Arbitration
 * By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
 * The Kurds and Kurdistan case was closed, authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.

Miscellaneous
 * Following the 2021 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: AmandaNP, Operator873, Stanglavine, Teles, and Wiki13.

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
 * Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news
 * When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem.
 * Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers.

Arbitration
 * A community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure is open until April 25.
