About the "only warning" about spamming
I noticed that after you reverted spam by User:AANURA, you left a message on their talk page. Is it from one of the templates? I've never seen it before. It goes much more straight to the point of "stop spamming the Wiki" than what I have found in Template messages/User talk namespace. Is this tone only administrators are allowed to use? BernardoSulzbach (talk) 13:59, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, anyone can use the template for severe spam (where appropriate). It’s part of the Twinkle warnings and I see it listed in Template messages/User talk namespace as well. All the best, N.J.A.  &#124;  talk  14:10, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Regret for using Bot name in username
, I'm extremely sorry that I did a mistake in creating a account using the Bot word which is generally been reserved for the technical purposes, but I didn't have any intention to violate the Wikipedia policies nor in the future I would ever do so. I admit I'm new user in Wikipedia, but I'm a good reader and from onwards I will adhere to all the policy and procedures while using Wikipedia. But I also like to apologise and would request you to tag me with all the important and relevant page regarding the polices so that in future by mistake also I don't any mistake. And thank you for believing in me and considering my request. I'm really happy that you gave time in considering by Unblock request in the winter vacation and also sad that I created a bad rapport with you all that I didn't explain and put my point on my talk page first rather than request the name change. Thanks IMBTech (talk) 15:01, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

User:Ghar Junction
Hi NJA, you recently blocked User:Ghar Junction for spamming. They are repeatedly putting the same spam content on their talk page. Would you consider extending the block to remove talk page access? Many thanks, The Mirror Cracked (talk) 15:22, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Question
Hey, thanks for the block but it appears this editor is not here to engage with editors and has failed to respond to COI/UPE inquiries. I suspect the creator of the articles about her business is also paid (but that's another matter for COIN), anyway, my question is whether this can be extended to indefinite until they satisfactorily answer the question about their COI/paid editing.

Recent username reports
Hi NJA, please could you explain why you considered the reports about User:Firmincigars and User:Uptownlogodesign not a blatant violation of the username's policy? At WP:U I read textually: "Usernames are not allowed on Wikipedia if they: [...] only contain the names of companies, organizations, websites, musical groups or bands, teams, social media or streaming channels, or creative groups". It seems that this precisely meets those situations, isn't it? Is there a different understanding of this policy? Thanks in advance, --DoebLoggs (talk) 10:22, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, although you cite the policy correctly, the intent, when blocking for username violations, is to prevent shared use/role accounts and blatant spamming for or on behalf of someone paying you (WP:PAID). Although both these accounts are potentially editing in a way that’s a conflict, none of the edits indicate someone working at the company created the account for corporate (shared/role) purposes as opposed to an individual who may or may not work for the company. Further, none of the edits are blatant spam, e.g. editing articles to market the products of any particular brand nor have they linked to inappropriate external sources.  There could be a warning given not only about username policy, but also COI and PAID, but I disagree they’re blatant violations that require an immediate block. If you’re not in agreement you may take these to WP:RFCN for community consensus on this, N.J.A.  &#124;  talk  10:45, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi again NJA, no, I'm not in disagreement, I was just trying to understand the rationale behind your choice, just to improve my skills and avoid make unuseful reportings and wasting admins' time in the future. Thanks for your answer. Cheers, --DoebLoggs (talk) 10:54, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

About Dog insurance: get your dog a health insurance article
Hi there. I have created my first article "Dog insurance: get your dog a health insurance article". i noticed that has deleted.

Hey NJA hope all is well. I saw that you blocked for vandalism. It looks like they added a legal threat and generally just abusing their talk page privileges. --   LuK3      (Talk)   13:35, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi NJA! It's good to talk to you once again! I'm messaging you to ask about the issue with this account's username? It just looks like the user took the word "Chicken Nugget", switched the 'C' and the 'N', and removed the letter 'h'... It doesn't look to me like a username that warrants an account block. Is there something that I'm not seeing? Let me know. :-) Thanks -  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   16:43, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * On face value it's absolutely fine, and perhaps I'm too jaded from the approximately one "Chicken Nugget" themed username created daily, which is ultimately blocked for behaviour, LTA and/or socking reasons. As such I associate the name with demonstrating an intent on being disruptive. Saying this, if they ask for a review I would allow the unblock and if they even mildly seem sincere in intent I'd apologize for the block, N.J.A.  &#124; talk  16:50, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Thanks for responding with your thoughts and the reason behind the block. :-) Cheers -  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   16:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Not that there's a connection, but this recent revert is an example of the pattern I see with that username implying a disruptive intent, N.J.A.  &#124; talk  16:56, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Lou Ann Barton
I'm not sure what type of citation you want for the information I left. Rockola was originally a five piece group consisting of Lou Ann Barton on vocals. Paul Christiansen on guitar (he was also Lou Ann's boyfriend at the time). David Skinner as lead guitarist and vocals. Dennis Berganni on bass. Randy "Turtle" DeHart on drums. The band moved to Ft. Worth in 1973 and replaced Berganni with Mike "Cadillac" Johnson. They also added Richard Kline on B3. There are some Rockola recordings that have made their way into the light via Roy Ames Home Cooking label after Roy got out of federal prison. David Skinner was a 2005 inductee into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in the Blues category as a singer and guitarist. The story of his induction mentions his time with Rockola and Lou Ann. Additionally, Cadillac's website for Michael "Cadillac" Johnson and the Revelators talks about joining Lou Ann's band in 1973. FYI, the reason I know this information to be accurate is because I WAS THERE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The 1 Big A (talk • contribs) 17:38, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Username
So question, I reported an account yesterday for User:Subwayeetfresh which is basically Subway "Eat Fresh", the company name and slogan, not exactly sure how that wasn't actionable? Looks like you're active this morning so I posted here but this made no sense to me []. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:43, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the post. Can you clarify which part(s) of the username policy you believe that account name violates? I see one rationale for a soft block under username policy, but you mention "company name and slogan" so I’d like to understand your thinking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I am blocking as a vandalism only account, but not solely for any username issue, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  18:53, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I hesitated on the vandalism only part just because they hadn't made more then that initial edit. The reasons I reported were as stated when filed it was a promotional and misleading name. I've seen some social media sites have members that have spoofed a company to make it look like it was them and reply to customers or the like. I doubt many people if any would have fell for it but there again it has happened. Was I off base? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 19:25, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I do no share your view that the name was caught by the provisions of WP:ORGNAME. There’s no indication the user is employed by Subway (or anyone) to edit promotionally and/or was using the name as a shared account. The username policy issue I was referring to is the “yeet” part of the name, which, if you need to google it, you will find it to be disruptive and likely offensive. That, coupled with their edit summary gave good cause to block as VOA and/or NOTHERE. Had they not edited at all I may have soft blocked the name for the reasons mentioned, but not for promotional or shared reasons, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  22:54, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, I do not recall declining your report for this name, but this is a good decision nonetheless, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  22:58, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
 * No one really declined it, there was a massed deletion on several reports all at once but it was never noted showing hey this or that and why it was summarily removed. You just happened to be an administrator that had been recently active on that page so I asked you because you appeared to be active at the time of posting. It wasn't that you denied or didn't, it's often been my experience that what one administrator finds ok another may not and thus with no rationale of what was the issue it simply became expedient to ask someone that was active. Out of that username you only saw yeet (What I googles it simply meant excited so I don't get the inherent disruption)? I didn't even consider that because of how it was packaged with the name and how many times people have tried to spoof a company and then make a meme or the like after posting some stupid response to someone. I do get your point about ORG and promotional though that may have been off base. Amazing how two people can come to similar assessments for such different reasons. Anyways, appreciated the response thanks! Hell in a Bucket (talk) 00:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Please reprotect (not ECP)...
Per Protection_policy and High-risk_templates, WP:ECP is not the recommended protection for templates (for a number of reasons listed). Please adjust protection for Template:Confirmed cases in 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak accordingly. Buffs (talk) 17:14, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi and thanks for the message. I’m familiar with protection policy and re-read it just in case, and I’m not sure what your concern is or where you see an outright prohibition from using ECP? The rationale for protection is this case is mostly vandalism from IPs. Had I intended “Full” protection I would have chose “template protection” instead, as it is a template, and per policy. Anyhow let me know the exact issue and I’ll review, I’ve amended the protection, though I'd like to know the rationale for your concern, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  11:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Redirected/protected article
An article with 50 refs, which seems to meet GNG from what I can tell, was redirected by one editor who asserted it was not notable, and then protected by you. That seems an odd, unhelpful result. How do we have public discussion on the subject? The effect of the editing by the two of you is the same as if the article were deleted. Without going through the AfD process. Thank you. --2604:2000:E010:1100:80EE:174D:AD0C:54A4 (talk) 23:08, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the post. Although I see some logic in your post, I do not agree it is the actual result (nor was it intended, directly or indirectly). The public discussion around the subject of notability may be had on the article’s talk page, which is not protected. Protection can always be amended or removed following a consensus to do so, which is to be attempted on the talk page. All the best, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  01:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I understand that is not the intended result. But to answer your point, any public discussion around the subject of notability should I think be at an AfD. Because there we can attract the editors that comment on the issue of notability of an article. They watch the AfD lists. They do not watch this talk page. Maybe the best thing for you to do would as an administrative matter nominate it for AfD? That would allow the usual editors to comment. Otherwise, as you have seen, that talk page may attract editors who are more interested in the article subject than in the notability issue.2604:2000:E010:1100:9CBD:54D6:D394:BC94 (talk) 03:29, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Although AfD may attract a more skilled audience, it is not meant to supplant discussion of notability issues on the talk page. You seem to be saying if the page were not protected you would nominate for AfD, but you had not done so previously. I thought about your suggestion and I am unsure an AfD is appropriate here as the person was formerly in a fairly high level role in government that arguably involved something noteworthy, and he has been and remains active in California politics. It’s a fair chance consensus will be that the subject meets minimal requirements and that there's scope to improve as opposed to delete the article. For these reasons, and per the prerequisites suggested prior to an AfD nomination, I am not comfortable nominating for deletion. I understand the annoyance, but protection was not put in place to protect the current version with redirect, it was done to prevent further disruption by various editors. Protection does have indirect effects, but discussion and consensus means an agreed change can be made further to a protected edit request. I may be inclined to reduce the period of protection (currently until March 15), but you should continue discussion on the talk page, wait for the current protection to elapse and consider whether to nominate, and/or you may seek a review of the protection by listing the page, with concise reasons why protection is inappropriate under the protection policy at WP:RFUP, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  11:19, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Note I’ve reconsidered the factors around protection and have for now decided to remove it. The rationale is on the article talk page and the matter should be discussed there, <em style="font-family:Arial;color:#6600CC">N.J.A.  &#124; talk  14:09, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

New Pages Reviewer Request
Hello NJA, I am Megan, I am currently a pending changes reviewer and rollbacker. I have familiarized myself with almost all of Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. I mostly hover around pending changes, recent changes and page curation to look for articles or edits against Wikipedia’s policies like WP:COPYVIO, WP:N. I really want to help over at NP to help with the over 9000 unreviewed articles. Regards Megan Barris   (Lets talk📧)  23:49, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I see you joined us not too long ago and you’ve been busy. Keep up the good work. In terms of your request, generally we want to see 90 days of edits, 500 undeleted edits to mainspace that clearly demonstrate knowledge of page quality control and the page moving process.

No molecular biology in 1674
You reverted an edit I made about Anisomycin. The study by Butler was not published in the 17th century and it should be blatantly obvious that the year was actually 1974, not 1674. People didn't even know antibiotics existed until (if you're generous) the end of the 19th century.

Hope we can fix this error soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhatsAWorkingUsername (talk • contribs) 15:54, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Request for rollback permission
I have been editing for about a year with around 7000 edits. Although I've become interested in combating vandalism recently, I have handled disruptive edits and vandalism edits using the rollback feature of WP:TWINKLE, warned users on the talk pages, made two successful reports at the WP:AIV, a handful at WP:UAA, and also filed reports WP:SPI.

Reincarnations of a user you blocked
Hello.

- In January 2020 you blocked the disruptive user "Favoritismo": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Favoritismo

- He later returned as "Rallyismo": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Rallyismo

- And as "FlamingSkateBoard": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FlamingSkateBoard

- He later returned as "CrabsPlankqon": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CrabsPlankqon/sandbox2

- He has recently reappeared as "QutanRawr": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:QutanRawr

- And as "EggYolkLol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EggYolkLol — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.162.25.42 (talk) 14:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

He clutters Wikipedia with these unuseful userpages filled with false information copied and distorted from the actual articles, and occasionally vandalizes articles. I think that all these accounts should be blocked and all the userpages he created should be deleted.--37.161.14.5 (talk) 20:03, 16 March 2021 (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)
