Hello,
You deleted my additions to the Mexican American War. I do not revert any edited additions, but I am wondering why. I added the options of the different peoples on both sides during the conflict. I think that is valid. It is definitely controversial, which I understand if it is unwanted, but is that the reason so much content was reverted?
Beliefs acted upon by peoples at the time are historical facts today. 99% of history id Context. I believe the additions were enlightening. Please actually read what I wrote at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mexican–American_War&diff=prev&oldid=657166540
Just want an explanation. I do not protest.

I am surprised that this nomination has been successful. I am also surprised given how uninteresting the hook is and that is coming from someone who has a particular interest in the subject of UK politics and past MPs. In the past I have unsuccessfully nominated far more interesting DYKs. I read the nomination discussion and was none the wiser and hoped you might shed some light. Thanks.

I was passing by and looking for anything on Dr. Mark Mayall, once a fairly prominent fellow in UK Conservative circles. I found that you had deleted his page as far back as 2006? I see that when it was put up for comment that all other "deletes" were from North Americans also. Is this not rather strange? Most of us here in the UK would not profess to know sufficient about your politicians or their local importance to call for deletions. Should this not be revisited?

Allen3, could you possibly do the cleanup on the incomplete DYK update? Right now, while the contents of Queue 1 were moved to the main page, they were also left in Queue 1, and Template:Did you know/Queue/Next wasn't incremented to Queue 2, the final two steps in the process (reversed here for narrative purposes).
I've checked the contributions log for the bot, and it looks like the bot died when attempting to mark the image file as having been included on DYK. I don't know whether you'd want to bother doing this as well, but I'm mainly concerned about incrementing Queue/Next and clearing Queue 1. I'm hoping you're around and can do both. This has been mentioned at WT:DYK#DYKUpdateBot malfunction?, so you might want to check there first. Thanks for anything you can do. BlueMoonset ( talk) 20:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Allen3. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

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.

Thank you. Yes, I will add more inlined references. I'll start with those two I've been using and then add yours as well. Btw, I wonder is he was related to George Webb Slaughter? Apparently not, even though they were both early ranchers. Zigzig20s ( talk) 21:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
I am Andrew with GameStakers ( https://www.gamestakers.com/), a game review website that also interviews game developers. On every wiki page for a video game, there are links to reviews for it. Apparently, permission is needed to post the links. My website is about writing reviews and I would like to link the reviews through the wiki pages for the corresponding pages. Additionally, is it allowed to make a Wikipedia page for GameStakers? It isn't meant to advertise the site, but more to just explain about it.
Thanks GameStakers ( talk) 17:20, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Dear Allen3,
Could you please direct me to the right person in charge. The point is that I have published an article and it was deleted due to plagiarism reasons < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Conversion_Pyrolysis>. We published such articles at some other sources but the authorship belongs to our Company. That's why I got the publication permission [Ticket#2014081410006267]. How can I recover my publication?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Allen3. Thanks for promoting the DYK nom for The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls. It appears the hook is in prep area 1 right now, which seems like it will be moved to queue 1 and consequently be pushed to the main page on January 8 at 12:00 UTC. I am wondering if you could perhaps consider moving it to prep area 3, so that it will be on the main page on January 9 at 12:00 UTC instead to coincidence with the premiere of the anime adaptation?

Hello,
You deleted my additions to the Mexican American War. I do not revert any edited additions, but I am wondering why. I added the options of the different peoples on both sides during the conflict. I think that is valid. It is definitely controversial, which I understand if it is unwanted, but is that the reason so much content was reverted?
Beliefs acted upon by peoples at the time are historical facts today. 99% of history id Context. I believe the additions were enlightening. Please actually read what I wrote at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mexican–American_War&diff=prev&oldid=657166540

Allen3, could you possibly do the cleanup on the incomplete DYK update? Right now, while the contents of Queue 1 were moved to the main page, they were also left in Queue 1, and Template:Did you know/Queue/Next wasn't incremented to Queue 2, the final two steps in the process (reversed here for narrative purposes).
I've checked the contributions log for the bot, and it looks like the bot died when attempting to mark the image file as having been included on DYK. I don't know whether you'd want to bother doing this as well, but I'm mainly concerned about incrementing Queue/Next and clearing Queue 1. I'm hoping you're around and can do both. This has been mentioned at WT:DYK#DYKUpdateBot malfunction?, so you might want to check there first. Thanks for anything you can do. BlueMoonset ( talk) 20:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for this edit. I had a little panic attack just now when it occurred to me the date might have filled up, so I was relieved to see you had moved it. Is this something I should have done myself after I gave the article a tick, or is to be left for an admin to do? The comments at the start of the holding area do not give any instructions on point.

Hello, Allen3. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Allen3, the DYKUpdateBot didn't run today, and the main page update is currently four hours late. I've left a note on Shubinator's talk page, but in the meantime, you seem to be the only admin well enough versed to do a complete promotion from queue to the main page, including all the necessary notifications and such. If you stop by while the bot remains down, please do what you can. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:02, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
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.
