Wandering down the hallways of time...
This was good. I doubt I'll ever express it any better. Five years later, and virtually nothing has changed.  Enigma msg  07:25, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Into the Fire (2005 documentary film)


The article Into the Fire (2005 documentary film) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I couldn't establish that this meets WP:NFILM or WP:GNG

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.

 * I see no reason to save it. I have no idea why I created the article in the first place. (this remark placed here to document lack of objection to deletion) ++Lar: t/c 21:54, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

 * No objections to deletion of either of these. The band did not achieve notability sufficient to have articles about each album. ++Lar: t/c 23:51, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

G'day
just passing through on my way to the bar.... hope you're well. Take it easy, and email me your password if you feel like leaving properly ;-) Privatemusings (talk) 05:12, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the chuckle... I don't see that happening ever.
 * Besides, while I may not be that active myself, I still support the WMF and what it is trying to achieve. ++Lar: t/c 19:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi
I just saw that you are back, at least a bit, and I want to say a very warm hello! --Tryptofish (talk) 16:39, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I do pop in from time to time... mostly just fixing typos I spot and that sort of thing. Thanks for the welcome and hello back yourself, I trust you are well. ++Lar: t/c 10:44, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Adding my voice - nice to see you back. Kafka Liz (talk) 11:02, 19 September 2015 (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) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
