Please Take a look at these articles most of the artcles are just "GRADE SCHOOLS" and we all know that grade schools are not notable at all. The citation provided are not independent, and grades school are not notable these types of articles are created by such private school to attract students so they can increase their PROFITS, it's a very common practice in india. See /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G11 And also check who creates such advertisements he should be banned from editing Wikipedia there are more than 1000s of such non-notable paid advertisements in English Wikipedia.
You are my last hope for Independent Wikipedia in India. parents are forced to pay high fees in these schools as we all trust wikipedia, and these schools take advantage of it.
i am just a user with no rights like you, so i can not delete them all requested for deletion of /info/en/?search=Delhi_Public_School_Ghaziabad and it got deleted.

On 19 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sharesleuth, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that billionaire businessman Mark Cuban funded the operations of the investigative reporting site Sharesleuth by short-selling the companies the site reported on?

Hello. For privacy reasons i ask you as a renamer to globally change my user name from my family name "Schmelzle" to "TRXX-TRXX".

Hello. The rename was reset. Actually i ask for privacy and my real name to disappear from version histories etc. That's why i ask to rename my account on all wikimedia pages. What can i do to gain privacy and have the account renamed? Schmelzle ( talk) 21:29, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Rama. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Rama/Evidence. Please add your evidence by May 10, 2019, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Rama/Workshop.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 03:00, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.

Dear 28,
Did you see the article on Verge. I'll mention it in The Signpost, probably in "In the media' in the next edition, and just have a couple of questions for the author. Going by his self-description on Verge (see bottom of page) I'd guess he's not you but you might know him. If you do, could you ask him to email me. I'll check with a few others and have no doubt that he can find me if he wants to. Thanks. Smallbones( smalltalk) 01:22, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
