Wilton Speight
hey, I see that you restored the edit I removed from Speight's intro regarding his starting QB status. While in all likelihood, he's probably going to retain the starting QB job for 2017, it is currently an open QB competition going into fall camp. You can see here in this link. This is why I removed that part from the intro. Edday1051 (talk) 23:35, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – July 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2017).

Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg Happyme22 • Dragons flight
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Zad68

Guideline and policy news
 * The RFC discussion regarding WP:OUTING and WMF essay about paid editing and outing (see more at the ArbCom noticeboard archives) is now archived. Milieus #3 and #4 received support; so did concrete proposal #1.

Technical news
 * Fuzzy search will soon be added to Special:Undelete, allowing administrators to search for deleted page titles with results similar to the search query. You can test this by adding ?fuzzy=1 to the URL, as with Special:Undelete?fuzzy=1. Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.
 * A new bot will automatically revision delete unused file versions from files in Category:Non-free files with orphaned versions more than 7 days old.

Miscellaneous
 * A newly revamped database report can help identify users who may be eligible to be autopatrolled.
 * A potentially compromised account from 2001–2002 attempted to request resysop. Please practice appropriate account security by using a unique password for Wikipedia, and consider enabling two-factor authentication. Currently around 17% of admins have enabled 2FA, up from 16% in February 2017.
 * Did you know: On 29 June 2017, there were 1,261 administrators on the English Wikipedia – the exact number of administrators as there were ten years ago on 29 June 2007. Since that time, the English Wikipedia has grown from 1.85 million articles to over 5.43 million.

Flint, Michigan DNC Campaign Fall 2016
Hello,

Speaking out on policies is great cause as I too, had a beautiful day representing my choice for Clinton Kaine ticket.

I was impressed by Uzo Aruba story the specific Saturday. She delivered surprise cameo appearance to the University of Michigan students. Her door knocks while walking in stilettos was quite cool. I read the Wikipedia entry And believe that her volunteering in Flint should be remembered. She was a good teacher for myself, too.

Thanks for working hard on these media updates.

Cheryl A Seymour Goodrich, Michigan 48438 Native American Elder Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians. Representative Dale Kildee's work is the perfect reason why I have confidence in your learning experience, too.

We are recognized by President Bill Clinton's presidential signature September 21, 1994

My respects to Senator Debbie Stabenow's district as well as Representative Dan Kildee's District 5

Take care and to those who smoke cigarettes, cigars quit. As it does Tax on the children's mind.

By no means are my words in perfect form. Trust and respect the 61 years to which I am here in my location is of small small rural development. Namaste to Wilson and Tom Hanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.87.237.170 (talk) 17:05, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

List of Michigan Wolverines men's basketball head coaches
Hey Tony,

I see that you contribute (or previously had contributed) to many articles around the U Mich basketball team. I was wondering if you would be willing and/or able to help me get this one to FL status? The lede is off to a solid start, but the table of coaching stats needs to be expanded as well as a few other things.  Sports guy17  ( T •  C ) 20:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * , I see what you are shooting for is something like List of North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball head coaches, which is a current FL. I am willing to review what you do, but I am not likely to spend a lot of time digging for this info on all the coaches in the near term. I have worked a lot on the most recent two coaches and am probably the leading editor for both, but I have not done a lot of research on the pre-internet era coaches. User:Cbl62 is really good at some of the older Michigan content. Thanks for the invite.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:03, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Precisely what I'm going for, actually. I usually use other FLs like that to assist me in building up similar lists to FL material. And no worries abut digging up the info. It is without a doubt the most time-consuming part of these kinds of list. I will contact Cbl62 to see if he'd be interested in helping out. Thank you for being willing to review the work. Best,  Sports guy17  ( T •  C ) 18:09, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic
Hello Tony, how are you doing. This article has deteriorated from when you got it through GA (as part of a group of articles? that's very impressive), and there's an editor who keeps reinserting a bunch of material that in my opinion isn't encyclopedic, isn't well-sourced (in parts), and takes it below GA level. Since you put so much work in it, maybe you can have a look? And if you agree, maybe they'll listen to you. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:06, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Tony - I recently created an article for Reggie Hearn, former Northwestern basketball player.

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter
Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Godot13, Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth 06:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * ACTRIAL, a research experiment that restricts article creation to autoconfirmed users, will begin on September 7. It will run for six months. You can learn more about the research specifics at meta:Research:Autoconfirmed article creation trial, while Wikipedia talk:Autoconfirmed article creation trial is probably the best venue for general discussion.
 * Following an RfC, WP:G13 speedy deletion criterion now applies to any page in the draftspace that has not been edited in six months. There is a bot-generated report, updated daily, to help identify potentially qualifying drafts that have not been submitted through articles for creation.

Technical news
 * You will now get a notification when someone tries to log in to your account and fails. If they try from a device that has logged into your account before, you will be notified after five failed attempts. You can also set in your preferences to get an email when someone logs in to your account from a new device or IP address, which may be encouraged for admins and accounts with sensitive permissions.
 * Syntax highlighting is now available as a beta feature (more info). This may assist administrators and template editors when dealing with intricate syntax of high-risk templates and system messages.
 * In your notification preferences, you can now block specific users from pinging you. This functionality will soon be available for Special:EmailUser as well.

Arbitration
 * Applications for CheckUser and Oversight are being accepted by the Arbitration Committee until September 12. Community discussion of the candidates will begin on September 18.
