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)

Hi Espresso Addict, I saw you declined the speedy deletion of The Daily Earth, and I'm hoping you'll reconsider. It is a promotion of a website created by a blocked Wikipedia user (Anisur Rahman Niloy - @ Vinegarymass911 has filed an SPI), and the sources either do not mention The Daily Earth, or are hoax articles created by Niloy. It's clear from the Internet Archive that The Daily Earth was created today (not 2015). The "Daily News Today" source is another one of Niloy's websites that the sock attempted to promote, and the article was posted today but backdated to 2016. Politanvm talk 03:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Why did you deprod Ben Cruachan Quarry Branch? Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 16:15, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
I've tried with the one user for a few years after finding their articles by accident. Improved quite a few. Added references. Tagged. That sort of thing. I left talk page messages and eventually started nominating some articles for deletion and prodding. I never got a response; my messages were deleted eventually like I see yours just was. I wished the user would just respond in some way, but they kept on creating with no improvements. They seem to want to create a Wikipedia article for every organization and many people as well as some places within Christianity... usually without sourcing and in some cases without suggesting notability. Then I went to a board for help and I'd make references about the issues with the user creating unreferenced articles and the user got a talk page comment from someone (which is fine; I'm not criticizing the person who did that) to which they never responded. Today, when I read that the user had recreated an expired prod, I thought it had reached a point of madness. But then I went to the talk page and saw the history and see that you solved the problem without even being asked for help directly! Removing the autopatrolled privileges should slow down the creation of unreferenced articles. At the very least, others will see the articles and be able to help manage them. You're a winning admin. Hope you like dogs. -- DiamondRemley39 ( talk) 22:56, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Thankyou for your efforts to propose things in this area. I certainly don't see any point in having a list of people by articles created if the names are hidden anyway. Humans rarely produce quality new articles on a massive scale. I do think we would benefit from a bot in areas like geography where data could be compiled to produce decent new articles and improve consistency, but I detest the generic cookie cutter prose you typically get on such articles, look at Swedish and Cebuano wiki, horrible. I have also proposed nuking any remaining short stubs I created a long time ago but it was rejected. It was wishful thinking at the time but the reality is that most people don't edit rural localities in non anglosphere countries on English Wikipedia. I think the main issue is more initial article quality rather than quantity produced, we should indeed strongly discourage editors from mass creating short stubs. People who produce a lot of new decent articles, we should encourage that. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey, JarrahTree -- I don't generally get involved in user conduct issues and haven't ever worked at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention. Just the name doesn't seem to me to be sufficiently deceptive in intent to merit an immediate block (in particular a redlinked editor is hardly going to be seriously mistaken for a regular), unless there's something I'm missing about their edits? Could you raise the issue with the editor at their talk page, and see how they respond? AGFing a bit, it's a common enough name, and possibly they just share it?

Hello, Espresso Addict,
While I'm not thrilled that you de-PROD'd this article I'm heartened to know that there are experienced editors keeping watch over the week's list of PROD'd articles. PRODs get so much less attention than articles at AFD discussions and, unless they are incomplete or patently false, we generally accept whatever deletion rationales the editors have supplied, even if some of them are a little weak. So, a little bummed that this article will be staying around but also thankful that folks like you are double-checking claims and de-PRODding articles that you believe truly meet our notability standards. All the best, Liz Read! Talk! 06:20, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi— I happened upon this edit, which on the surface seems to be perfectly fine. However, per WP:PDCOPY, CC BY-SA 4.0 is actually not a compatible license. We use CC BY-SA 3.0, and you cannot “downgrade” to an earlier version of the license (you can, however, go from 3.0 to 4.0). There was a proposal to migrate to 4.0 a couple years ago, but people were concerned about how 4.0 would interact with Wikidata’s CC0 license. House Blaster talk 01:31, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi Espresso Addict. I notice you deprodded my deletion of this article. I believe you are expected to explain why you a deletion request is deprodded? As it is you seem to have simply added a very simple slightly tangential question which is less searching than a notice which has been on the article for some time asking for a reliable seccondary source indicating a barony existed in the form suggested. Perhaps it is normal to deprod on that basis - but it seems almost to take us backwards rather than to progress.
You simply "ask", "needs expert attention; barony=lordship?".
That question is not quite the point. A lordship could be construed as a form of barony if barony is taken in its widest sense, an area of land "governed" by permission of the monarchy in those days. A lordship however implies a higher level of authority and in this case the oversight of the Earldom of Mar, since it was originally the Earl of Mar who ruled over a mucch widerf area including Cromar and Migive Castle as well as three other Lordships which made up Mar.
Even if one could acccept that suggesting a barony was equal in some way to a lordship, that does not mean the area or authority here was ever given the title "Barony of Cromar", or it's holder "Baron of Cromar, or even that the term was used asually. In fact considerable research on the area suggests that has never happened historically.
The article states that a Feudal barony of Cromar existed attached to Migvie Castle. But, during the time of Migvie Castle's existence i.e. up to 1565 when Migvie castle was probably uninhabitable (Canmore https://canmore.org.uk/site/16985/migvie-castle) there was no mention of that being a caput of a baron or of a baron owning that place. The master was the Earl of Mar, who administerd it as a Lordship, a part of the whole Earldom.
The note on the web site asking for secondary references to substantiate the existence of the Feudal Barony of Cromar and so address notability criteria has never been addresse. The books cited as a reference in the bibliography makes no mention of such a thing either, although it is entirely focused on the history of the general area of Cromar.
I could cite a number of books on the area, some old and which refer to ancient charters for Cromar and its surrounding area, ch include ancient charters, None of them refer to a Barony of Cromar. (e.g. Records of Invercauld : Michie, History of Braes of Coldtone : Michie, Records of Aboyne and more...)
This PHD Thesis explores the administrative structures of the area in detail during that period. It refers to a number of Baronies and a number of Lordships. It lists Cromar as a Lordship and provides its historical evidence in charters in that light. https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/bitstream/1893/25815/1/PHD%20THESIS%20FINAL%202017.pdf
This wikipedia page is being propagated automatically and manually across the internet and no doubt is being included in people's thinking and research. The risk is the historical significance and nature of this ancient authority and dignity and the area itself becomes lost or confused.
If someone has used the "technical" definition to say that lordships can be looked on as baronies, and so substantiates it as a commercial commodity and thing to be owned and enjoyed in recent years for example, that seems reasonable given the law clearly allows it.
But if so I would suggest that ought to be done with an explanation as to that rationale and what it represents truly rather than implying it has had genuine historical usage. That being an addition to the article page "Cromar".
Historical information and subtleties of ancient tenure are complex enough without overwriting history. It will be a great shame if history is obscured. I hope this makes sense, and appreciate your taking time to consider it. If I have added it in the wrong place, or it is couched in the wrong terms I would welcome your advice as to how to improve it.
I am also happy to listen to counter arguments if any are posed.
In terms of progressing this. I am of course happy to hear ccounter argumnets. Although I do not see a clear link from the page to ( http://doublecheck.wikiloop.org/revision/enwiki/1116136985) for anyone to be made aware there is a discussion, nor am I sure how one would discuss further on that page, or what further evidence might be needed to progress the discussion and in my case deletion.
I would appreciate your advice on what I would I need to do further to this.

It was deleted a few years back and I am trying to get it re-established properly. What do I need to do to keep it alive? Adamvlaw ( talk) 18:58, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

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)

Hi Espresso Addict, I saw you declined the speedy deletion of The Daily Earth, and I'm hoping you'll reconsider. It is a promotion of a website created by a blocked Wikipedia user (Anisur Rahman Niloy - @ Vinegarymass911 has filed an SPI), and the sources either do not mention The Daily Earth, or are hoax articles created by Niloy. It's clear from the Internet Archive that The Daily Earth was created today (not 2015). The "Daily News Today" source is another one of Niloy's websites that the sock attempted to promote, and the article was posted today but backdated to 2016. Politanvm talk 03:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Why did you deprod Ben Cruachan Quarry Branch? Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 16:15, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
I've tried with the one user for a few years after finding their articles by accident. Improved quite a few. Added references. Tagged. That sort of thing. I left talk page messages and eventually started nominating some articles for deletion and prodding. I never got a response; my messages were deleted eventually like I see yours just was. I wished the user would just respond in some way, but they kept on creating with no improvements. They seem to want to create a Wikipedia article for every organization and many people as well as some places within Christianity... usually without sourcing and in some cases without suggesting notability. Then I went to a board for help and I'd make references about the issues with the user creating unreferenced articles and the user got a talk page comment from someone (which is fine; I'm not criticizing the person who did that) to which they never responded. Today, when I read that the user had recreated an expired prod, I thought it had reached a point of madness. But then I went to the talk page and saw the history and see that you solved the problem without even being asked for help directly! Removing the autopatrolled privileges should slow down the creation of unreferenced articles. At the very least, others will see the articles and be able to help manage them. You're a winning admin. Hope you like dogs. -- DiamondRemley39 ( talk) 22:56, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Thankyou for your efforts to propose things in this area. I certainly don't see any point in having a list of people by articles created if the names are hidden anyway. Humans rarely produce quality new articles on a massive scale. I do think we would benefit from a bot in areas like geography where data could be compiled to produce decent new articles and improve consistency, but I detest the generic cookie cutter prose you typically get on such articles, look at Swedish and Cebuano wiki, horrible. I have also proposed nuking any remaining short stubs I created a long time ago but it was rejected. It was wishful thinking at the time but the reality is that most people don't edit rural localities in non anglosphere countries on English Wikipedia. I think the main issue is more initial article quality rather than quantity produced, we should indeed strongly discourage editors from mass creating short stubs. People who produce a lot of new decent articles, we should encourage that. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey, JarrahTree -- I don't generally get involved in user conduct issues and haven't ever worked at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention. Just the name doesn't seem to me to be sufficiently deceptive in intent to merit an immediate block (in particular a redlinked editor is hardly going to be seriously mistaken for a regular), unless there's something I'm missing about their edits? Could you raise the issue with the editor at their talk page, and see how they respond? AGFing a bit, it's a common enough name, and possibly they just share it? Regards, Espresso Addict ( talk) 03:16, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Regarding Draft:Mostafanejad and Draft:Morsal Mostafanejad: I urge you to reconsider G11 as they're autobiographies created by a non-notable with three accounts, all of which are now blocked. I nominated the pages as they read like resumes and because the references are all unrelated except for a social media page and a link to a Google search. Uhai ( talk) 01:58, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Espresso Addict,
While I'm not thrilled that you de-PROD'd this article I'm heartened to know that there are experienced editors keeping watch over the week's list of PROD'd articles. PRODs get so much less attention than articles at AFD discussions and, unless they are incomplete or patently false, we generally accept whatever deletion rationales the editors have supplied, even if some of them are a little weak. So, a little bummed that this article will be staying around but also thankful that folks like you are double-checking claims and de-PRODding articles that you believe truly meet our notability standards. All the best, Liz Read! Talk! 06:20, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
I agree to the deletion. We have not left a copy. Can I have the data before deletion? Mocha c jp ( talk) 06:57, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
On 13 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mary Ridge, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mary Ridge blew up the Liberator on her first encounter with Blake's 7, and killed off the crew on her last? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mary Ridge. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Mary Ridge), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

About the perceived divide between content creators and AFD denizens: I wonder if something like Nettrom's SuggestBot could be adapted to suggest a couple of open AFD to editors. Or perhaps something like the Wikipedia:Feedback request service? I don't think that WP:AALERTS (which you have to go visit intentionally) is sufficient.

Hi! I noticed you declined two of my G11s. Unsure if you noticed that User:Pembea/sandbox is just links to that person's linkedin and crunchbase pages (look closely at the first crunchbase URL, and compare to the editor's username), which feels kind of WP:NOTCV, and User:Niranjanpansari/sandbox was indef blocked for being a sockpuppet of a user named the same thing as the company it's about.
If you did notice those things and still disagree, then feel free to ignore me and have a good evening :) 3mi1y ( talk) 01:57, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi— I happened upon this edit, which on the surface seems to be perfectly fine. However, per WP:PDCOPY, CC BY-SA 4.0 is actually not a compatible license. We use CC BY-SA 3.0, and you cannot “downgrade” to an earlier version of the license (you can, however, go from 3.0 to 4.0). There was a proposal to migrate to 4.0 a couple years ago, but people were concerned about how 4.0 would interact with Wikidata’s CC0 license. House Blaster talk 01:31, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi Espresso Addict. I notice you deprodded my deletion of this article. I believe you are expected to explain why you a deletion request is deprodded? As it is you seem to have simply added a very simple slightly tangential question which is less searching than a notice which has been on the article for some time asking for a reliable seccondary source indicating a barony existed in the form suggested. Perhaps it is normal to deprod on that basis - but it seems almost to take us backwards rather than to progress.
You simply "ask", "needs expert attention; barony=lordship?".
That question is not quite the point. A lordship could be construed as a form of barony if barony is taken in its widest sense, an area of land "governed" by permission of the monarchy in those days. A lordship however implies a higher level of authority and in this case the oversight of the Earldom of Mar, since it was originally the Earl of Mar who ruled over a mucch widerf area including Cromar and Migive Castle as well as three other Lordships which made up Mar.
Even if one could acccept that suggesting a barony was equal in some way to a lordship, that does not mean the area or authority here was ever given the title "Barony of Cromar", or it's holder "Baron of Cromar, or even that the term was used asually. In fact considerable research on the area suggests that has never happened historically.
The article states that a Feudal barony of Cromar existed attached to Migvie Castle. But, during the time of Migvie Castle's existence i.e. up to 1565 when Migvie castle was probably uninhabitable (Canmore https://canmore.org.uk/site/16985/migvie-castle) there was no mention of that being a caput of a baron or of a baron owning that place. The master was the Earl of Mar, who administerd it as a Lordship, a part of the whole Earldom.
The note on the web site asking for secondary references to substantiate the existence of the Feudal Barony of Cromar and so address notability criteria has never been addresse. The books cited as a reference in the bibliography makes no mention of such a thing either, although it is entirely focused on the history of the general area of Cromar.
I could cite a number of books on the area, some old and which refer to ancient charters for Cromar and its surrounding area, ch include ancient charters, None of them refer to a Barony of Cromar. (e.g. Records of Invercauld : Michie, History of Braes of Coldtone : Michie, Records of Aboyne and more...)
This PHD Thesis explores the administrative structures of the area in detail during that period. It refers to a number of Baronies and a number of Lordships. It lists Cromar as a Lordship and provides its historical evidence in charters in that light. https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/bitstream/1893/25815/1/PHD%20THESIS%20FINAL%202017.pdf
This wikipedia page is being propagated automatically and manually across the internet and no doubt is being included in people's thinking and research. The risk is the historical significance and nature of this ancient authority and dignity and the area itself becomes lost or confused.
If someone has used the "technical" definition to say that lordships can be looked on as baronies, and so substantiates it as a commercial commodity and thing to be owned and enjoyed in recent years for example, that seems reasonable given the law clearly allows it.
But if so I would suggest that ought to be done with an explanation as to that rationale and what it represents truly rather than implying it has had genuine historical usage. That being an addition to the article page "Cromar".
Historical information and subtleties of ancient tenure are complex enough without overwriting history. It will be a great shame if history is obscured. I hope this makes sense, and appreciate your taking time to consider it. If I have added it in the wrong place, or it is couched in the wrong terms I would welcome your advice as to how to improve it.
I am also happy to listen to counter arguments if any are posed.
In terms of progressing this. I am of course happy to hear ccounter argumnets. Although I do not see a clear link from the page to ( http://doublecheck.wikiloop.org/revision/enwiki/1116136985) for anyone to be made aware there is a discussion, nor am I sure how one would discuss further on that page, or what further evidence might be needed to progress the discussion and in my case deletion.
I would appreciate your advice on what I would I need to do further to this.
Thank you very much
