Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Notice of no change: Lara wouldn't be an admin on this project again for a paycheck. Add a new category of former admins; one that reads "No chance in Hell of regaining the tools." Better and brighter places for me now, gentlemen. But, as is so often the case here, thanks for the displaced energy that surely could have been better focused in more productive areas, like project space. You know, those pesky things referred to as articles that really make up what makes Wikipedia worth visiting. The front that conveniently hides the disturbing and dysfunctional factory of monkeys on typewriters throwing shit at each other 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and an extra on the leap. I've got a daughter reaching her teens. If I want to deal with extreme and unnecessary drama that can make grown men cry and cripple the emotionally weak, all I need do is enter her room. Wikipedia's RFA (and, really, the entire "community"), therefore, serves no purpose to me. Regards, Lara 22:32, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Bikini Bandits requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Inanygivenhole ( talk) 20:40, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maynard James Keenan, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ambient, Queen and Accept ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

An RfC about the use of the {{ fairusereview}} tag on mainspace pages is in progress here. From 2005 until recently, this template was added to file pages when the non-free status of the file was being discussed. In May this year it was edited so that it could be added to articles. The RfC question is: "Should the template be reverted to the pre-May 2013 version, and retained only for use on file pages?"

Hi there, would you be interested in taking a look at a BLP issue? I know that's a topic of focus for you, and there's an ongoing dispute on Talk:Tim_Lambesis, the subject of which is in the midst of a very well-publicized and controversial criminal trial. You can see the details for yourself. Vintovka Dragunova ( talk) 05:45, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
... if any remain after all these years. If you've got time and/or interest (or know someone who does), Tim Lambesis is a BLP in desperate need of work, as the bio lacks any substantial info about his music career, for which he is notable. Rather it's almost entirely about his criminal acts, trial, and conviction. Any improvement would be a benefit to the project. The article, as it currently stands, is an embarrassment. And I'm really shocked there have been no improvements since the discussion from the above section concluded. If I had more time, I'd work on it, but I'm wrapping up my senior year as an undergrad, so there's no time. Lara 21:37, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

You have definitely been missed on this site. Even if you're only here for a little while, it's always great to see someone from years back take interest in Wikipedia once more.
P.S. — I know how disheartening it is to see that a few of the same conflicts from back in the day are still ongoing with no end in sight, but with regards to your comment on Coffee's talk page, I would actually disagree. As someone who's been keeping an eye on this place for a long time, I believe Wikipedia has actually matured substantially over the years. For example, did you know that user conduct RfCs have become a thing of the past? That's just one example. Although not perfect, I personally find that our community as a whole has become a lot friendlier in general. Kurtis (talk) 18:58, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

The featured article History of American football, an article you have edited significantly in the past, is currently at around 160 kb in length. The maximum allowable article size per WP:SIZE is 100 kb. While some bits of information could probably be pared down, most of the article is still surprisingly well written and referenced (despite growing in size by 2/3rds since being promoted to FA status several years ago). The article will need to be brought back to a smaller size, a discussion is underway at Talk:History of American football to decide the best way to handle that. We want to preserve all of the good information there, but the rules require us to split the article up somehow. If you are interested in helping decide how to do that, please come by the article talk page where the discussion is currently underway. Thanks! -- Jayron 32 12:21, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

P.S. I'm going to boldly edit User talk:Indubitably/Editnotice.
Hello Indubitably,
I'm a newly active editor who has remained a little-involved "IP user" a long time, without enough time to care about much of the Wikipedia processes, until recently when I finally created an account. I am still studying how Wikipedia works. Considering that a lot of the article space in topics of interest is already well developed, I'm so far mostly looking at the various cleanup and maintenance avenues, perhaps also award committee projects.
Considering your experience with BLP issues, you may perhaps be a right person to answer some of my questions. Would you say that since say, 2008-2009, things have improved, regressed, or remained the same? There were some discretionary sanctions established circa 2014 about it, and a number of BLP pages have semi-protection (although I'm not sure how common or not protection was back then). I have noticed some of the BLP scandals that occasionally surfaced via the reliability of Wikipedia article, as well as from one of your user page links, I think. I'm not sure if that's still a common issue.
I of course still see a lot of self-promotion/self-bio new articles on a regular basis since I started being more active on Wikipedia, and am thus also occasionally participating on some related AfD nominations. Some bot(s) also seem involved to help with the AfD process, but I've not been around these areas long enough to know if it used to be better handled or not. One thing I noticed is that it's not uncommon for some to be relisted for not obtaining enough input in reasonable time. There also seems to be people listing those to the deletion sorting lists, but some seem to not get listed fast enough, and I see no automatic process to notify the article creator (or I missed it, if so). I've not yet discussed any of this at the tech village pump, although it's one of the possibilities I noted. I also started studying the API that bots use for automatic editings (I'm a programmer but have not used this API, or automatically parsed/edited wikisource, yet).
We also have the Tea House that is rather well publicized to new user talk pages, causing a flow of new paid COI or self-promotional non-notable editors to regularly ask for help there about their deletion-nomination articles, or how to create their article, quickly getting told by experienced hosts the related policies. This seems to stop a number of them during their first attempt; most seem to never have read the policies and guidelines, and some even appear to be students or young parishioners assigned to create an article by someone who also never read them, or prefer to still consider Wikipedia to be an indiscriminate directory.
Thanks in advance for your time (if you wish to answer), PaleoNeonate ( talk) 02:09, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
I've been notified that someone has tried to recover my password. It wasn't me. I have no intention of meaningfully editing anytime soon, so if weird shit goes down, that's also not me. That is all. Indubitably (Lara) 21:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello! My name is Christian and I am a student at Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA. For one of my classes, I have been tasked with creating a Wikipedia article. One of the first pieces of advice I received was to ensure my formatting matched with the standard formats of the various WikiProjects, or else they would be quickly pulled down. For your WikiProject, what formatting requirements must be met? My subject is a living person, but someone who has been moved into Witness Protection. I'm not sure to what extent to follow the guidelines of the regular Biography section, versus the Biography of a Living Person guidelines, and I would appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hello! I found you on WP:WPBIO and was wondering if you might be able to help me... or point me in the direction of someone that could. I am working on Iymen Chehade's bio. It was started by a sockfarm and has been banned, but I am trying to clean it up and get the warnings all removed. Here is the last note left by the admin that originally tagged the article: The article was written by an abusive UPE sockfarm (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marek.kapicak) and was touched up by a disclosed paid editor (see above). It needs review from volunteers to determine compliance with editorial policies and inclusion guidelines.
Might you be available to review this article to determine compliance?
Thank you for any help!

You were still editing. The username change baffled me (obvs) but I'm not sure why I thought you'd left this place. Anyway, jolly happy to find you're still here. -- Dweller ;( talk) 17:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
As you were its original nominator and the one who was a victim of its unfortunate delisting during Sweeps in '09, I thought you might like to hear it's back up to GA status! :D dannymusiceditor Speak up! 20:19, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
I mean, I'm definitely a troll. But I still do occasionally think of you and our time together fondly.

P.S. I'm going to boldly edit User talk:Indubitably/Editnotice.
Hello Indubitably,
I'm a newly active editor who has remained a little-involved "IP user" a long time, without enough time to care about much of the Wikipedia processes, until recently when I finally created an account. I am still studying how Wikipedia works. Considering that a lot of the article space in topics of interest is already well developed, I'm so far mostly looking at the various cleanup and maintenance avenues, perhaps also award committee projects.
Considering your experience with BLP issues, you may perhaps be a right person to answer some of my questions. Would you say that since say, 2008-2009, things have improved, regressed, or remained the same? There were some discretionary sanctions established circa 2014 about it, and a number of BLP pages have semi-protection (although I'm not sure how common or not protection was back then). I have noticed some of the BLP scandals that occasionally surfaced via the reliability of Wikipedia article, as well as from one of your user page links, I think. I'm not sure if that's still a common issue.
I of course still see a lot of self-promotion/self-bio new articles on a regular basis since I started being more active on Wikipedia, and am thus also occasionally participating on some related AfD nominations. Some bot(s) also seem involved to help with the AfD process, but I've not been around these areas long enough to know if it used to be better handled or not. One thing I noticed is that it's not uncommon for some to be relisted for not obtaining enough input in reasonable time. There also seems to be people listing those to the deletion sorting lists, but some seem to not get listed fast enough, and I see no automatic process to notify the article creator (or I missed it, if so). I've not yet discussed any of this at the tech village pump, although it's one of the possibilities I noted. I also started studying the API that bots use for automatic editings (I'm a programmer but have not used this API, or automatically parsed/edited wikisource, yet).
We also have the Tea House that is rather well publicized to new user talk pages, causing a flow of new paid COI or self-promotional non-notable editors to regularly ask for help there about their deletion-nomination articles, or how to create their article, quickly getting told by experienced hosts the related policies. This seems to stop a number of them during their first attempt; most seem to never have read the policies and guidelines, and some even appear to be students or young parishioners assigned to create an article by someone who also never read them, or prefer to still consider Wikipedia to be an indiscriminate directory.
Thanks in advance for your time (if you wish to answer), PaleoNeonate ( talk) 02:09, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
I've been notified that someone has tried to recover my password. It wasn't me. I have no intention of meaningfully editing anytime soon, so if weird shit goes down, that's also not me. That is all. Indubitably (Lara) 21:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
You don't know me, different Wikipedia eras and whatnot, but somehow I stumbled across your user page and did have to say how much I love that picture of the Old Well with the azaleas blooming. Fond nostalgia for the days of living in Old East. Anyway, I did have to drop that note for the next time you logged on. All the best. TonyBallioni ( talk) 15:46, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello! My name is Christian and I am a student at Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA. For one of my classes, I have been tasked with creating a Wikipedia article. One of the first pieces of advice I received was to ensure my formatting matched with the standard formats of the various WikiProjects, or else they would be quickly pulled down. For your WikiProject, what formatting requirements must be met? My subject is a living person, but someone who has been moved into Witness Protection. I'm not sure to what extent to follow the guidelines of the regular Biography section, versus the Biography of a Living Person guidelines, and I would appreciate your help. Thank you!

Policy allows us to use signatures that obfuscate our wiki-IDs. Even so, it can be confusing. You confused me. As you can see here, it took me seven minutes to figure out that that Lara and Jennavicia and Indubitably were just a single individual.
I am just letting you know. Geo Swan ( talk) 02:21, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I found you on WP:WPBIO and was wondering if you might be able to help me... or point me in the direction of someone that could. I am working on Iymen Chehade's bio. It was started by a sockfarm and has been banned, but I am trying to clean it up and get the warnings all removed. Here is the last note left by the admin that originally tagged the article: The article was written by an abusive UPE sockfarm (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marek.kapicak) and was touched up by a disclosed paid editor (see above). It needs review from volunteers to determine compliance with editorial policies and inclusion guidelines.
Might you be available to review this article to determine compliance?
Thank you for any help!
