Junk e-mail
I see that you worked on this page way back in 2004, and I can see that you have a lot of knowledge about the internet. It astonishes me to find people not having a clue that junk e-mail has always been prohibited. It's like robbing banks, just because people do it doesn't mean it isn't prohibited. 199.125.109.71 07:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I have problem with the word, "prohibited" -- even if I'm wrong, there's no citation for it (the ref'ed link talks about the infamous DEC transgression on the ARPAnet). One could argue that Internet email spam was prohibited by NSFnet, but after late 1994, this too became irrelevant. I clearly remember the Glenn Fleishman paper in 1995, which talks about the commercialization of the Internet. I went hunting and found a copy. I agree that "frowned upon" is a bit wishy-washy. BTW, your re-edit now makes the sentence not quite make sense I think.


 * Thanks, I'll take a look. The one part in particular that I can see to change is the fact that spam will never go away, it can be controlled, but just like robbing banks it will possibly always exist (although Bill Gates famously predicted it would be gone by now, and it probably would be if even Can-Spam had been rigorously enforced). As to prohibited, the ArpaNet was the beginning of the internet. I thought that was citation enough.  Did you want me to reference each ISP TOS which also prohibits junk e-mail?  That would be hard to do, especially in a historical context.  However, bear in mind that there is a big difference between opt-in commercialization of the internet, which is controversial on it's own right, and opt-out, which means that all multiple hundred million internet users get one free shot at your e-mail address (once a month by Can-Spam).  Did you read the reference added that shows that if 1% of the 24 million US small businesses sent out one advert a year you would get 657 junk messages a day?  You may have worked for or with large companies that have a company all e-mail address (sometimes even accessable from outside).  While I have seen the occational tupperware/baby shower announcements that sort of thing above a few hundred employees gets real old real quick. I wanted to include the difference between a thousand users and a million users because intra-company spam is just as big a problem, though much easier to deal with, as internet spam. The hours wasted by employees on e-mail today is staggering.  But that is for the e-mail article, not the junk e-mail article. 199.125.109.17 22:54, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Saw your request for Speedy deletion of Desipundit. Its an old site and I added it because there was no mention of it. There would be many who may like to develop the article, can we mark it as stub for others to work upon. I would be adding more links and references myself. Thanks. --Bebaak 21:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Please don't interfere with history merge dbs
With respect to Mike Magee (journalist): That was not a request for the article to be deleted. That was a request for an admin to merge the article history which was separated from the article by a cut and paste move. Please don't interfere with these housekeeping operations if you don't understand them. It is a violation of the GFDL for the article to be cut and paste moved and lose the history of who contributed to it. Please don't remove the tag again. GlassFET 15:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, my bad. Sorry I missed the history merge reason. It just looked like an inappropriate db template got stuck in there. Thirty Hail Marys ... richi 16:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Virgin Atlantic Airways
I'm afraid that not only can that not be used as a source in this case, but also that the source is not updated. One A340-300 that has just recently rejoined the fleet, G-VSUN, does not and will not have the new configuration until Summer 2008. Virgin Atlantic's own website, a more reliable source than the one you indicated, can vouch for my information. I have corrected the section and added a proper source. I hope you understand, now, thanks. NcSchu( Talk ) 23:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to be rude, and in fact the reason I deleted my comment was to remove the rudeness, so I'm not sure why you replied to something I retracted. Needless to say, the source I provided at least verified that there was one A340 still yet to have gotten the new config. NcSchu( Talk ) 01:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Challenge-response spam filtering
Thanks Richi for the compliment. I do agree with you that callback verification would lead to more spammers forging legitimate e-mail addresses instead of just making up a fake one. But I think the use of SPF and DKIM would lead to the opposite: more spammers using fake addresses instead of forged ones. If they use a forged one from a domain that uses either SPF or DKIM these systems would expose them as counterfeits. OldCar 06:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

VAA name
Hi, I thanks for your note. I tried to contact the contributor that originally inserted the correct legal name and left a message on the VAA talk page but received no reply to either. I noticed that, while 'Virgin Atlantic Airways Ltd' is the correct, legal name for VAA very few (I couldn't find any) other airline pages follow the same procedure. For consistency sake should we not keep it as 'Virgin Atlantic Airways'? RaseaC 20:17, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

DJVaccar
Thank you for your attention to the problem with the bird's eye images on the Auburn City School District page. DJVaccar has been a nuisance under the name User_talk:DJvac as well (it seems without a doubt). I suggest we push to report him to WP:AN/I and possibly WP:3RR. Sinisterminister 18:25, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response and for reporting him. At your request, I have added my opinion to his case on WP:SSP. Sinisterminister 17:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Junk e-mail again
The entire paragraph that was added by User:Mabu2 was about e-mail as theft, which is a common topic that has been around for a long time, long before bots came along. The issue is not the limited scope of botnets being theft, but spam being theft. I apologize for you thinking of it as NPOV, and I have already requested that Mabu2 come up with a citation. However it is not appropriate to narrow the focus to botnets. The rest of the paragraph becomes meaningless. 199.125.109.69 03:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * (Copied here from your Talk page, in case you don't read that): Thanks for your edit. I agree it clarifies the graf. My other problem with the previous text was that it rambled around several points that were already covered in the article. It was also unsuitable for the introduction. I did see some useful points though, and it seemed best placed where I moved it to ... richi 10:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

RSD of Tar (band) using Twinkle
The article I started asserted its notability per WP:MUSIC (criterion #5). You just didn't read it carefully enough. Don't make the same mistake again or I'll have to report you for misusing Twinkle. dfg 23:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed the tag because it shouldn't have been placed there to begin with; CSD a7 doesn't apply per WP:MUSIC relevant crit #5. Let this be a lesson to you that even a two-sentence starter article can assert its notability. dfg 00:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Zazen
Not Spam

Dear Richi,

I do not understand why you have recently removed an external link that I added. I do not understand why you viewed that link as spam.

How can free information [a Zen meditation e-course for beginners, written by a senior university professor] at a free, non-profit making, information and education website, be classified as spam?

I wish to object to your removal of a link that I think is beneficial to the readers of that page. I would like the link to be put back. What is the procedure, please?

I'm a new editor.

Kindest Regards

Havers 19:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Richi

Thank you for reversing the spam warning and explaining that you had me mixed up with someone else. Thank you very much for your apology. It was kind of you to let me know.

Thank you also for agreeing with the other editor who thought that the link justified inclusion on the zazen page.

Kindest regards,

Thanks for taking the time to go through that - I considered doing it but it seemed that it might seem peevish coming from me.

Haptics
I tried to fix broken links on the Haptics pages. This hardly seems to be vandalism (my first attempt, which I made anonymously) or spam (which I made whilst signed in as ezanelli). However, I will re-post the text portion without the links. A polite and reasonable first step I think would have been for you to send a message to me instead of deleting content that had been on-line for quite some time. Since it is impossible for me to know what is so objectionable without a message, I am hoping that if anything continues to be objectionable, you will give me some guidance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezanelli (talk • contribs) 02:51, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism by 63.162.143.21
You left a note on User:63.162.143.21 warning about vandalism to De Lorean DMC-12. I found and reverted one edit by that user. Did you find other vandalism? That user has committed vandalism to a great many articles and I want to catalog all of the vandalism from the last month or two. Sbowers3 18:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)
I did looked at IMDB before the revert. See where it is Edward Collins and not Jimmy MacDonald who played Dopey. I changed it back and added a reference to the article. Oh and please don't use script rollback when it is not vandalism. I might have made a mistake (but looking at the history of adding false information to that article I doubt it) but it was not vandalism. Garion96 (talk) 06:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report at Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Jmlk 1  7  22:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Link of Pyramid
Dear Richi,

Concerns: deleted link : (cur) (last) 08:53, 3 October 2007 Richi (Talk | contribs) (15,481 bytes) (Reverted 1 edit by Hugo.kennes; Rv linkspam. using TW) (undo) (cur) (last) 07:41, 3 October 2007 Hugo.kennes (Talk | contribs) (15,576 bytes) (undo)

6 month ago I asked to add the link via the talk page of pyramid, having no answer, I added it directly with the same syntax as the other links (so I added a book to Robert Lawlor in Your database without problems) ; so I guess it is the content of my cover page of my website who is the problem

perhaps I may link directly the scientific page about the structure characteristics of a pyramid (my website contains only translations out of the work of Professor Thijs, Engeneering, Belgium on the pyramidal models and the relation to astronomy ( and the mentioning of those strucure constants in the Bible))

it is important to mention that a pyramid is not only a tomb, but also a geometric mathematical model coresponding astronomical and astrophysical characteristics of our solar system

thanks for Your help kind regards Hugo.kennes 14:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Recent reversions
Richi,
 * You've recently reverted a number of my edits which sorted articles into more specific categories or replaced prevvious redundant categories. These edits were not vandalism and, if you'll notice the recent addition of Category:Post-apocalyptic television series, you will notice many of the edits you've reverted have removed most of the articles formerly there. 72.74.220.137 22:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

So now you've changed the definition of Category:Post-apocalyptic television series to include TV movies and pilots. But that's not appropriate given the category name, IMHO.

Hello, what does the word ALLEGEDLY mean? I wrote Attended Junípero Serra High School and was classmates with MLB slugger Barry Bonds, who allegedly cheated off of Greg during tests and quizzes in Spanish class.

A "vandal" retorts....
Maybe you should calm down a bit. I was scrolling through User talk:71.184.39.125's edit history (alerted as a result of the IP user's excessive category-change activity) and mistakenly thought they had deleted the warning themself. Mea culpa. However, you immediately leaping on my edit and declaring it "vandalism" is probably just as - if not more - out of order, especially in conjuction with your patronising use of a standard "Welcome" to someone who's been editing for well over a year. Nick Cooper 15:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nick, the standard template Template:uw-tpv1 is intended for use when an editor sees a "bad practice" userpage edit but assumes good faith. It's not an accusation of vandalism. However, it is part of a set of standardised warnings, themselves part of a WP policy that is documented in WP:Vandalism. I agree these warnings may appear patronising, which is why I added explanatory text. I guess WikiProject user warnings or Wikipedia_talk:Vandalism might be good places to start if you want to give feedback on the warning text or policy respectively ... richi 20:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Employment Division v. Smith
The article contains a substantial amount of unnecessary, superfluous, pretentious citation chaff which ought to be stricken. Removing it isn't vandalism. 35.10.248.238 16:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I heartily disagree. Removing LEXIS refs, for example, doesn't seem like a great plan to me, and does seem very much like the sort of anonymous vandalism WP is plagued with. However, I'm utterly prepared to acknowledge that this was a good faith edit, that's why you got a message that assumed GF, not a "vandalism warning". I see other editors on other pages agree with me that the refs should stay—good cites are the lifeblood of a encyclopedia. I suggest you discuss your ideas over at Talk:Employment Division v.

 * As a legal outsider, it seems to me that the Wikipedia project would be better served by you adding useful information to articles, rather than pursuing an anti-consensus agenda.

Smac and others
I'm really perplexed as to why you're constantly undermining my edits done in good faith. Your tone of reproach and confrontation has really got me to a point where I fear with mortal dread any editing. I don't know what you call spam, but the link that I posted (in the Smac article) was genuine and all I did wrong was to get the formatting wrong. That would not qualify as spam if I'm not mistaken.

Finally, please be aware that I'm a very humble "non-techie" guy and mistakes are gonna be dime-a-dozen in my edits in terms of formatting. Instead of adopting a condescending attitude, you may let me know of any factual errors that I may inadvertently make. I'm a big fan of Wikipedia and would never dream of any defacement.

"Limited" vs. "Ltd"
Thanks for your comments, I changed the first time the company name is used to the legal name, which for Virgin Atlantic is Virgin Atlantic Airways Limited. But that is the official name of the company as registered with Companies House. I dont have a problem with using Ltd elsewhere but we we should mention the legal name properly at least once. A quick look at the companies house website indicates that companies can use Limited or Ltd as they are the same thing, and indeed some companies are listed as Foo Ltd and not Foo Limited in the website. But not Virgin Atlantic Airways !

Dont want to make a big fuss but we should be accurate in our usage and I accept your point about common usage but basically Limited and Ltd are the same thing not all our readers may understand that. Also of interest is that normal UK usage is without the fullstop Ltd not Ltd. MilborneOne (talk) 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Re Disruptive Edits
I was NOT intentionally placing "disruptive edits" at all. I had found two known spammers. I and others used to get all manner of sickening matter from them, some of it of a sexually explicit nature. I tagged the spam as it was comming in, and found out that it was www.etightstrings.com and www.casalemedia.com that has been sending the sickening matter. Next time you get spam, see who or what is sending it. More than likely, it would be these two websites that are sending it. Now, how do I place these two external links ?

User talk:Ismx24
I noticed that you undid this user's blanking of his talk page. I believe he was blanking it to get rid of warning templates for content deletion and whatnot. While I certainly agree that doing so is bad form, especially when the underlying warnings are valid (and I know they were, I issued at least one of them), users are allowed to remove content from their own talk pages. The current guidelines on that are here. I believe there have been proposals to alter this to prevent users from being able to delete warning templates, but they've always failed.

Superdrug
I've reviewed your 30 March reversion to three edits to the Superdrug page, and can't see anything wrong with those edits. (However, as I'm not 100% certain, I haven't re-reverted.)

One thing strikes me in particular; since the poster of those edits is a customer of UK ISP three.co.uk (as am I, as can be seen from my IP address), and since Three and Superdrug are both owned by the same parent company, you appear to have jumped to the conclusion that those edits were done by a staff member of Superdrug. But Three are a public ISP, open to anyone who can pay £10 a month (plus £100 for the USB modem, if they haven't got a good enough credit rating to take out a contract), hence "it ain't necessarily so". -- 217.171.129.74 (talk) 00:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I certainly understand the impulse that prompted the speedy tag, because this film looks like a real dog, and a PROD tag would be liable to be uncontested (at least by me), but I don't know of a speedy category for films.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:25, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Dear Zindagi
No idea if this is enforced, but I had to stop dealing with that page's constant appearances at the pending backlog because another revert would have had me in violation of WP:3RR. It's helpful that you're right up against it on the same day as me; hopefully they'll notice that when they finally respond to my report at WP:RFPP. RunnyAmiga ※  talk 22:36, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Vandalisim
Please cite in which account does not have a reliable source here.

I am now contacting the administrators for the bias upheld on Wikipedia for not providing original records, for instance, Wikipedia has written material of tigers killing lions, with second hand sources not of its original dates and accounts that are fabricated, twisted and fictional [http://wildanimalwarfare.yuku.com/topic/10/Tiger-kills-male-lions Here. ]

Admins, I ask to review the links acclaimed by this person to be unreliable as he has made false claims, and hasn't even read the articles.

Factual figures such as Crime rates(Murder rate,Rape rate,etc) are not about being neutral. They are official facts. India has a Rape Rate of 2 per 1,00,000 people. I suggest try to stick to stats and facts as much as possible. The latest figures are available for 2013 - 33,707 Rapes among 1.3 Billion people. "India has been characterised as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape".[5] A 2014 piece in The Lancet states that the "8.5% prevalence of sexual violence in the country is among the lowest in the world."[6] A majority of rape cases in India, as elsewhere in the world, are never reported."

Not understanding rudeness, perhaps you can help me to understand
Richi, I'm not understanding rudeness and assumption of bad faith on the part of another editor, perhaps you can help me to understand?

followed by followed by.

This was after I made positive contributions in the form of well-sourced additions to improve the article on Mark Harmon with content first as per WP:LEAD which says you can add content from the body to summarize the article in the introduction. 

I would've thought that fully explaining myself with long edit summaries would avoid getting bogus warnings like that. And instead, at the very least, a talk page hello of some sort with a how do you do and here's a friendly bit of advice, that sort of thing.

(I've since added sources to the introduction anyways to completely avoid that complaint from that user.)

I just don't understand the failure to respond and the use of that tool thingy in that manner.

Is he allowed to use that Twinkle tool like that to just completely ignore and avoid someone attempting to reach out to have a polite good faith discussion?

Thanks for your help, 69.50.70.9 (talk) 05:53, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. Firstly, I don't feel comfortable talking about another editor behind their back. I don't think you mentioned them, so I will, to make it clear we're all acting in GF: ping.
 * There are several things going on here. Let me try to list them:
 * Many editors have a predisposition to trust IP users less. It's human nature, given that a large proportion of actual vandalism comes from IP users. It's not too late to create an account to gain additional privileges. Having an account also makes replying simpler, using things like Yo.
 * Sometimes editors can get too caught up in the Process, and simply forget there's a human at the other end. Use of tools like TW and templates in general don't help. (Been there; done that.)
 * Do editors have an obligation to engage? Strictly-speaking, no; but I feel your frustration.
 * However, you may have misread LEAD with regard to refs. There is no hard-and-fast rule as to whether a lede needs inline refs. That's not to explain away your perception of rudeness, but it's perhaps a factor.
 * Indeed, the urge to enforce strict WP:BLP referencing is particularly strong. It's often talked about as a "bright-line rule".
 * The lede before your edit was functional, but not outstanding. Your edits introduced some redundancies, dodgy grammar, and overlinking. I did a copyedit pass: check it out.
 * Don't take it personally, 9of69. All communities have standards, which members are expected to maintain. But communities are made up of individuals, any of whom can have bad days. ... richi (hello) 10:38, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your advice. I especially agree with you about number (2). There is a human on the other end and it's quite frustrating to be met with rude behavior like that. 69.50.70.9 (talk) 16:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Richi, I was coming to you more because of this followed by  followed by . That seems to be an inappropriate way to treat another human being. Because it leaves the other person with no rationale as to why they did that and has zero give and take back and forth. 69.50.70.9 (talk) 17:18, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

No need for the templating.

Can just say hello and give advice, please.

Thank you ! 69.50.70.9 (talk) 14:27, 14 November 2016 (UTC) A simple organic written message would have been better. Also, WP:LEADLINK appears to be a "guideline" page, not a "policy" page. Nevertheless, I've never read WP:LEADLINK before, so thank you for pointing it out to me. You just didn't have to point it out in a "templating" warning style.

 * Templates such as uw- series serve a structured purpose. My previous friendly advice to you has gone unheeded, both in terms of not overlinking in the lede, and of demonstrating GF by not deleting warnings ... richi (hello) 14:46, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry you feel that way but your previous advice has most certainly NOT "gone unheeded". Please assume good faith. I've taken your advice to heart. Just don't feel the need for ugly "templating" as a way to give that advice. In the future advice will be listened to much more carefully when NOT given in the form of "templating". 69.50.70.9 (talk) 14:53, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Apology accepted. Again, the series of templates prefixed uw- have a structured meaning. Their use is an important tool for maintaining quality. They are not a replacement for the friendly advice I've been trying to give you. Again, you chose to go against community consensus on more than one occasion; just because MOS is said to be a "guideline" doesn't remove the need to follow consensus or seek a new one -- as it says right up there at the beginning of MOS: "When in doubt, discuss first on the talk page." ... richi (hello) 10:28, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm assuming the reason why when you clicked "view" on the link provided by that page it still showed the album for pre-order is that your iTunes is set to whichever country you live in.

 * Also, besides that, the page itself proves the album is available for purchase, as other countries' Internet iTunes pages (for instance, the US iTunes Store) still show a "pre-order" icon next to the title and have the songs greyed out.  Ss 112  00:02, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Reversion of requested articles done by you
Hi, next time it may be better to ask anyone for additionally needed information on requested articles instead of just reverting and removing. I can add this information, as it seems it is obliged. The revert you made doesn't solve the problem, it just creates a new one: I'll have to spend time re-adding these requests. I am a good willing person, experienced on Wikipedia but having lost access to my user identity because of changes of mail accounts and internet service provider, but yes: I will do what you implicitly want from me. Nice meeting you (I hope) virtually. 83.85.143.141 (talk) 02:07, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Adding to this: I added a little information, a person's own written description from Facebook to at least know which person a requested article is wanted on.

 * Here's the thing: Those pages are ridiculously long and unwieldy, to the point where they're almost unfit for purpose. That's a key reason why they were set to WP:PC. The standing instruction to reviewers is to Reject entries that don't follow the very clear instructions at the top of the page.

 * Yes the amount of web space these pages is a concern I share. If you like to share views how to split the requested articles webpages into smaller ones, let me know. I'm able to spend more time than you on improvements. What's most astonishing is that many users seem unable or unwilling to even sort article requests alphabetically and search for the most appropriate sections to post them at. It is certainly necessary to educate editors on such issues. As I am a skilled librarian/documentalist/archivist such lack of insights surprises me from people wanting to contribute to an online encyclopedia. About the requested articles: some are just a red link, how come these were accepted? 83.85.143.141 (talk) 10:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Richi,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Stitch, Inc. should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Stitch, Inc..

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message
 Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.

Passkeys redirect
I've moved the redirect to passkey, however, there might be some use for an article about passkeys in computing, whether it be FIDO or other schemes and systems. AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:25, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
