Can you redo the TCS Toxicology and Chemical Substances article as it was........ The TCS/ECB Administrator. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.191.136.150 ( talk • contribs) -- Leyo 11:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Ok leyo you are quite right of the use of 2 articles but the new name of the European Chemicals Bureau is TCS (Toxicology and Chemical Substances), it's for this reason that we said TCS is known also as ECB.... And we need this article as TCS also for our Stakeholders. So I do not know who has deleted the TCS article, but before doing so, it must be the right way to ask the creator/owner of the article. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.191.136.154 ( talk • contribs) -- Leyo 18:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi leyo,
You are right there should be just one article for the same subject.
You can find TCS descripttion on the IHCP web sie at
http://ihcp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ (TCS is part of the IHCP which is part to JRC which is part to the European Commission).
You can find contacts on the Home Page of the TCS-ECB, please right to Dr. R. Allanou is also managing IT communication.
Infact ECB is changing because of the new agency ECHA (European CHemicals Agency) located at Helsinki. For that reason ECB
is called now TCS.
But as you, most of people know more ECB than TCS, what is normal.

08:57, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Dear Leyo,
I introduce myself I am the Administrator of the TCS-ECB, so what we did is to merge the contents of the 2 articles.
Please have a look on the Toxicology and Chemical Substances Article you created. When you agree, we need I guess just to redirect TCS_bla-bla to that one. Because we publish to our Stakeholders under the name TCS_bla-bla, so we must keep that one. Thanks. 139.191.90.61 09:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Bonjour,
IA-Mass est le fruit d'une cooperation franco japonaise!
en japonais le mot IAMS est utilisé, en francais ou en anglais, IAMS est le nom d'une marque de pet-food pas tres recommendable, à voir toutes les petition qu'on vous demande de signer !
donc en francais et en anglais on utilise le vocable IA-Mass.
La methode et l'instrument sont le fruit d'un certain nombre de chercheurs dont le prof Fujii (Tsukuba Univ) et le doct Sablier (Ecole Polytechnique)..... et de quelques brevets....
Les applications sur lesquelles nous travaillons sont proches de l'environnement et plus particulierement sur le controle dans la filliere des plastiques en amont sur les matières premières et en aval sur les matières recyclées.

Hi Leyo - unfortunately I don't know that part of the country well enough to be abe to say which is right (I do live in the South Island, but at the other end of it, in Dunedin).

When you report users to AIV, ensure they've received a full set of warnings and edited after the final warning, which must be recent. In the case of your report this afternoon, the user had no actual warnings. Also, you put on AIV that the user had been blocked on Commons. Upon checking, he does not appear to be blocked there, or even warned with the exception of some informal notices about HTML use and such. If you have questions, let me know on my talk page. لenna vecia 17:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I have hesitated to ask for your assistance, but there is a lot of discussion about the definition of fluorocarbon on the that talk page.

Thank you very much for your contribution to Hexabromocyclododecane. I guess you accidentally removed the link to ECHA between the external links. Please note that was very important to try to balance the BSEF source as is not neutral at all due to the fact is the panel of producers.

Hi Leyo,
It can be done. Here's an example I whipped up for DE wiki.
I haven't decided if I would want to do a page for each language, or link Orphaned images to an i18n file and let the user choose the wiki from a dropdown.
Besides translation, there is one issue: I filter out articles that have already been tagged for deletion - for example, {{ IfD}} and {{ di-orphaned fair use}}. I wouldn't know how to find the equivalents for a given wiki. Not crucial for the tool to work, but I've found it helpful. Let me know what you think, and maybe I could make the orphaned_images_de.php page permanent. -- JaGa talk 19:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey, Leyo, thanks for the translation. Here's what I have so far. But I forgot some of the other messages:
That should be it. Thanks for all your help!! -- JaGa talk 04:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I saw that you made an edit to the page but being new to Wikipedia, was not able to see exactly what you changed. I don't know what your interest in amide-imides is, but this page has been greatly modified from where I left it about 2 years ago. My company make polyamide-imide in powder and pellet forms only. So any comments I make about solution products need to checked.

Thanks for the note. As a photographer, I do understand jpeg compression problems, but. I've tried several times to upload PNG and SVG (just picked up from uploads, File:BariteWorldProductionUSGS.PNG and File:BariteWorldProductionUSGS.JPG.

Hi Leyo
Sorry to trouble you, but you're one of the few de-wp editors I know.
There is an error in this sentence:
Brom kann durch andere Reagenzien, wie Chlor Cl2, N-Bromosuccinimid (NBS) oder 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en (DBU) ersetzt werden.
I think this sentence is trying to say that you can use chlorine, NBS, or DBU as an alternative to bromine. I think that is incorrect in that the reaction scheme shows NBS and DBU are being used together. Perhaps it should be phrased
Brom kann durch andere Reagenzien, wie Chlor Cl2 oder N-Bromosuccinimid (NBS) und 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en (DBU) ersetzt werden.
I'm not sufficiently fluent that I would make the change, and I don't monitor the de-wp Watchlist in case there any problems. Perhaps you can take a look? -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 01:05, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, Thanks for adding the pic to DDT showing DDT's transformations. I'd thought the article needed something like that for a while, but I don't have chemdraw so I couldn't do it. One thing though: It shows H2 over the arrow for the DDT to DDD transformation--and maybe that's how you'd affect that reaction in the lab--but in the environment (which is the topic of the that section) there isn't H2 floating around. I wonder it you might able to fix that. The WHO ( here) shows -Cl- + H+ over the arrow, which obviously isn't balanced, but probably more accurately reflects what happens in nature. Also, it would be great if you could label the molecules. Thanks. Yilloslime T C 15:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
H2 → HCl
or H+ + 2 e− → Cl−
. In the literature (
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5]), I found many examples of
reductive dehalogenation for the first option. If you like, I can draw and upload an alternative version with the second option.H+ + 2 e− → Cl−
. The sources you linked don't actually give DDT → DDD as a specific example, while the WHO does, and it shows it as H+ + 2 e− → Cl−
. And--I'm no biochemist--but it seems highly unlikely to me that the reducing agent in a biological system would be H2 rather than some equivalent like NADH or 2RSH → RSSR or something like that.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Dioxin (chemical). Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Just templating the regulars on a Monday evening... ;) Good luck on your RfA. Drmies ( talk) 00:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, I know you do some work with chemical structures, which I am hoping includes crystal structure data. I recently got the article Hans Freeman to GA standard, and am considering a run for FA. Freeman's PhD work included the crystal structure of biuret hydrate (completing most calculations by hand!), and I think an illustration based on the Acta Cryst structure would be a nice addition. Would you be able to provide a suitable image? Alternatively, can you suggest someone else who would be better suited to help? Thanks. EdChem ( talk) 16:24, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

WP:CSD#F8 excludes deletion of files in a different file format: [6]. There are some valid reasons for that; you'll note commons outright refuses to delete files of different formats. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 17:16, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I imagine it did, but commons is weird like that they like multiple formats. I'm thinking FFD or just moving it to commons may have been a better solution. I'll probably do it myself (I'm a bit OCD that way, please forgive me). Magog the Ogre ( talk) 17:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, since you have access to the paper can you confirm the "2 to 10 scale rows in males and 2 to 6 in females" description of Chironius laurenti by Reptilebase in Dixon et al.? It seems to be contradictory to the 12 scale rows midbody maximum also mentioned. I have a suspicion it refers to a specific part of the body, perhaps the head or tail, or perhaps it's an average.
Also as an aside, I discovered a description of C. laurenti before it was described by Dixon et al. in " The Snake Assemblage of the Pantanal at Poconé, Western Brazil: Faunal Composition and Ecological Summary (Strussmann & Sazima, 1993)". The authors were similarly unable to identify it as it was as of yet, an unknown species. -- OBSIDIAN† SOUL 18:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Got an opinion about this? A different image exists under the same name on Commons, but if I've understood things correctly, both files are supposed to show the same thing. However, both the English and the Japanese articles contain lots of chemical terms which say very little to me; it's possible I've misunderstood something. Since the images are a bit different, does it mean that one of them is wrong, or do they show two different valid representations of the same thing? Also, do we really need both images? Ideally, the files would, of course, be in SVG format instead of PNG. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 13:08, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

I've made arguments otherwise, including the obvious ones in the edit description when I removed it. You did not address the argument. Reversion is not helpful, and lacks a proper reference. It is hard not take offense to this since zero effort was made to address the issues brought forward for why it is inappropriate to put Züri at the top as a Swiss German name in the global sense. The standard is that a proper reference is required for information included in Wikipedia. This is an English Wiki. Referencing another, flawed, Wiki article in another language hardly qualifies. If you are familiar with dialect, then you would know that pronunciations can differ greatly between different regions. How then would one propose to assert a global Swiss German pronunciation? Or spelling? I know for a fact that Züri is not used in other areas, Graubunden being one. I also know that Zürich would be used in dialect if for instance you were referening a section of the city, such as Zürich-Schwamendingen would typically become Zürich-Schwämmi. There is no reason it couldn't be Züri-Schwämmi. In fact, it would have to be if Zuri was the proper Swiss German. I really don't understand why it is so offensive to deal with this issue in the proper context in the text, making it plain that it is Züri dialect in addition? Please address the issue. If I'm wrong, if Zürich is hochtdeutsch, and you have a reference for that, I'd be very grateful to have the information. If I see no appropriate response to these issues in the near future, I will again delete the reference to Züri at the top of the article and expect not to have to deal with continual reversions for no justifiable reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.150.55 ( talk) 21:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I noticed you reverted my edit which redirected ScienceDirect to Elsevier. Allow me to explain my rationale in making this edit: ScienceDirect is clearly not notable independently of being a means by which Elsevier posts articles from its journals online, and coverage of it in independent reliable sources is very scant. There are no such sources in the current version of the article, for example. Therefore I think a redirect is appropriate since notability is not inherited.

Hi! I saw this image is used on this article. IMHO, the image should not be used as the stick holder is not Japanese, a factual error. It should be used with this type of stick, probably Indian incense. It is dangerous to use the stick holder with Japanese incense because it could catch fire. I think the holder should be cropped at here. See Japanese incense, and Incense of India. Regards. Oda Mari ( talk) 16:43, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
I have searched in vain for the good path to get administrator’s help for the following issue and so I decided to send this request to some including you.
I have considerably expanded the article Guerrilla filmmaking and took care in referencing it as far as I could (over 90 links to trustful sources). I am an experienced editor of Wikipedia. For my surprise, the article was reverted by user CIRT to a preceding stub version mainly consisting of a very narrow list of films. Many important contents were removed. Self promotional vandalism seems to be the reason of such intervention, sustained by acute threats. I do not intend to respond with helpless and inconsequent arguments and the time I have to dedicate to Wikipedia is quite limited.
I’d be happy if you could pay some attention to this occurrence and let you decide whatever you think is reasonable.
My best,

Could you use your admin powers to find out what has happened with an image on German Wikipedia?
File:Bergen-auf-ruegen-rugard-turm-blick-nordost-bodden-ostsee thfr.jpg claims to come from de:Bild:Bergen-auf-ruegen-rugard-turm-blick-nordost-bodden-ostsee thfr.jpg. The file on German Wikipedia has been deleted with the log message "Eine identische Datei ist unter gleichem Namen auf Commons verfügbar. Sämtliche Metainformationen wurden korrekt übertragen." The file with the same name on Commons is not the same as the file on English Wikipedia.
Was the file on English Wikipedia ever uploaded to German Wikipedia under this name? Is the text in the log message on German Wikipedia incorrect? If the file can't be found on German Wikipedia, then I guess that the file on English Wikipedia doesn't have a valid source. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 14:56, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Can you help with this file? It says that the source is de:Datei:Gigi altro.jpg, and Special:Log reveals that German Wikipedia has had two files with that name. The most recent one (by de:User:Jenson P) seems to be the one on Commons under the same name, and the one on English Wikipedia is presumably the one uploaded by de:User:Aquazurra. That one was deleted in 2008 for the reason 'Seit mindestens 14 Tagen ohne korrekte Lizenzierung'. The upload log summary says 'Quelle: privat' which I presume means 'own work' (although it also could mean that the user just owns a copy of a photograph taken by someone else) and the upload log also mentions de:Template:Bild-GFDL, meaning that the file had a copyright tag.
Was the 2008 deletion on German Wikipedia correct? If so, then the file should probably be nominated for deletion on English Wikipedia too. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 18:15, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, Per WP:BURDEN, I have challenged unsourced statistics that have then been added back without any attempt to provide a source, despite me requesting on the users talk page. Regarding the notable players listing, there is a clear Manual of Style developed through longstanding consensus for this sort of thing. At every stage I have highlighted this in my edit summary. Elements that the other editor has made that have aligned the list with the required consensus have been left, elements that continue to fall well short of this requirement have been removed. At each instance the editor has been clearly directed to the area of the manual of style which continues to be contravened.
I am really not sure what discussion on the talk page would achieve (especially given that the user does not attempt to communicate in edit summaries and has not bothered to respond to my (admittedly belated) attempts to communicate directly on his talk page). Policy is clear, challenged information should not be added back without a reliable source and long standing consensus is clear at WP:FOOTY concerning how lists of notable players should be treated in club articles. A discussion between two editors on an article talk page would be an inappropriate forum to attempt to alter either policy or wider consensus. Fenix down ( talk) 11:22, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Leyo,
Since I have just started contributing to Wikipedia, I am still not familiar about the processes. Sorry for this. You marked the article "Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange" as "considered for deletion". I have just started with cleaning up certain Wikipedia pages that are connected to the research area "Music Information Retrieval" (MIR). MIREX is an important component of that research area. Therefore, I think it should be included in Wikipedia. Since I have to synchronize/discuss many things with colleagues, it will take a couple of days until everything is in a good shape. The main changes concerns the following sites:
/info/en/?search=International_Society_for_Music_Information_Retrieval /info/en/?search=Music_information_retrieval /info/en/?search=Music_Information_Retrieval_Evaluation_eXchange
Please reconsider your recommendation after these changes have been made. Of course, I am grateful for any helpful comments. Meinard.mueller ( talk) 14:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Leyo. 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.

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.

Hi Leyo.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello Leyo,
I am currently facing some sort of an unfortunate problem. I have asked both Alex Shih and Bbb23 about this; I suppose I have annoyed both of them and I have no idea whom I am supposed to ask at this point. As you know, I have been tbanned from automobile and units of measurement (not complaining how unfair that was at this point); and, well, I have been found guilty of evading the topic ban because I had both asked another editor to refrain from adding original research to an automobile article and editing an article that was later declared automobile-related (ignoring my arguments and literature on the topic but not citing any sources). As the result, I have been blocked for 6 months for topic ban evasion. I definitely do not want to get blocked again for the same reason (that would most likely be an indefinite block), but I have no idea how to contribute to Wikipedia without accidently violating the tban. 'Automobile' and 'units of measurement' is just not very precise (technically I am violating the topic ban by signing my posts on talk pages as it adds units of measurement to it (date and time)); some have said that I am taking the ban too broadly, but then some topics were declared 'ban related' when I thought they were not. It was also suggested that the ban gets suspended (so I could prove that I am a proper editor), but other administrators have said that I can prove it without a ban suspension by creating some nice articles and the ban was not suspended. Now I have no idea what to do. I am obviously a knowledgable editor (just some good and featured article examples 1, 2, 3, 4) but the line between the non-automobile articles and the automobile articles is not very precise in this case. I have tried to write some non-automobile articles but I fear that some 'expert' would declare them automobile/unit of measurement-related even though they are not in my opinion. Could you do me a favour and read these articles I have already written and tell me what you think about them? It requires about 7 minutes of your time.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:39, 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.

After solving your GHS question within 2.5 hrs, I expected a small "thank you" signal. Any note after that, for example questions and suggestions and comments, sounds better.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

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)

You reverted all PFAS to PFASs, even though the discussion had ended and you had no longer defended your position.
But you also reverted all my copy edits as well. You should have gone back and manually made the changes from PFAS to PFASs, and not done a complete reversion.
I'm also of the opinion that your defense of the use of PFASs instead of PFASs is wrong - the much more common usage is PFAS, and it makes no sense to pluralize an already plural word. By the definition we are using on the wiki page itself, the S stands for substances, and it makes no sense to say "substancess".
Please undo your reversion and keep my copy edits in place. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.11.5.2 ( talk • contribs)

Ok leyo you are quite right of the use of 2 articles but the new name of the European Chemicals Bureau is TCS (Toxicology and Chemical Substances), it's for this reason that we said TCS is known also as ECB.... And we need this article as TCS also for our Stakeholders. So I do not know who has deleted the TCS article, but before doing so, it must be the right way to ask the creator/owner of the article. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.191.136.154 ( talk • contribs) -- Leyo 18:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi leyo,
You are right there should be just one article for the same subject.
You can find TCS descripttion on the IHCP web sie at
http://ihcp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ (TCS is part of the IHCP which is part to JRC which is part to the European Commission).
You can find contacts on the Home Page of the TCS-ECB, please right to Dr. R. Allanou is also managing IT communication.
Infact ECB is changing because of the new agency ECHA (European CHemicals Agency) located at Helsinki. For that reason ECB
is called now TCS.
But as you, most of people know more ECB than TCS, what is normal.

Dear Leyo,
I introduce myself I am the Administrator of the TCS-ECB, so what we did is to merge the contents of the 2 articles.
Please have a look on the Toxicology and Chemical Substances Article you created. When you agree, we need I guess just to redirect TCS_bla-bla to that one. Because we publish to our Stakeholders under the name TCS_bla-bla, so we must keep that one. Thanks. 139.191.90.61 09:23, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

When you report users to AIV, ensure they've received a full set of warnings and edited after the final warning, which must be recent. In the case of your report this afternoon, the user had no actual warnings. Also, you put on AIV that the user had been blocked on Commons.

Hi Leyo,
It can be done. Here's an example I whipped up for DE wiki.
I haven't decided if I would want to do a page for each language, or link Orphaned images to an i18n file and let the user choose the wiki from a dropdown.
Besides translation, there is one issue: I filter out articles that have already been tagged for deletion - for example, {{ IfD}} and {{ di-orphaned fair use}}. I wouldn't know how to find the equivalents for a given wiki. Not crucial for the tool to work, but I've found it helpful. Let me know what you think, and maybe I could make the orphaned_images_de.php page permanent. -- JaGa talk 19:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Leyo
Sorry to trouble you, but you're one of the few de-wp editors I know.
There is an error in this sentence:
Brom kann durch andere Reagenzien, wie Chlor Cl2, N-Bromosuccinimid (NBS) oder 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en (DBU) ersetzt werden.
I think this sentence is trying to say that you can use chlorine, NBS, or DBU as an alternative to bromine. I think that is incorrect in that the reaction scheme shows NBS and DBU are being used together. Perhaps it should be phrased
Brom kann durch andere Reagenzien, wie Chlor Cl2 oder N-Bromosuccinimid (NBS) und 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-en (DBU) ersetzt werden.
I'm not sufficiently fluent that I would make the change, and I don't monitor the de-wp Watchlist in case there any problems. Perhaps you can take a look? -- Rifleman 82 ( talk) 01:05, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, Thanks for adding the pic to DDT showing DDT's transformations. I'd thought the article needed something like that for a while, but I don't have chemdraw so I couldn't do it. One thing though: It shows H2 over the arrow for the DDT to DDD transformation--and maybe that's how you'd affect that reaction in the lab--but in the environment (which is the topic of the that section) there isn't H2 floating around. I wonder it you might able to fix that. The WHO ( here) shows -Cl- + H+ over the arrow, which obviously isn't balanced, but probably more accurately reflects what happens in nature. Also, it would be great if you could label the molecules. Thanks. Yilloslime T C 15:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
H2 → HCl
or H+ + 2 e− → Cl−
. In the literature (
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5]), I found many examples of
reductive dehalogenation for the first option. If you like, I can draw and upload an alternative version with the second option.H+ + 2 e− → Cl−
. The sources you linked don't actually give DDT → DDD as a specific example, while the WHO does, and it shows it as H+ + 2 e− → Cl−
. And--I'm no biochemist--but it seems highly unlikely to me that the reducing agent in a biological system would be H2 rather than some equivalent like NADH or 2RSH → RSSR or something like that.

Hey, since you have access to the paper can you confirm the "2 to 10 scale rows in males and 2 to 6 in females" description of Chironius laurenti by Reptilebase in Dixon et al.? It seems to be contradictory to the 12 scale rows midbody maximum also mentioned. I have a suspicion it refers to a specific part of the body, perhaps the head or tail, or perhaps it's an average.
Also as an aside, I discovered a description of C. laurenti before it was described by Dixon et al. in " The Snake Assemblage of the Pantanal at Poconé, Western Brazil: Faunal Composition and Ecological Summary (Strussmann & Sazima, 1993)". The authors were similarly unable to identify it as it was as of yet, an unknown species. -- OBSIDIAN† SOUL 18:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Chironius laurenti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dorsum ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Got an opinion about this? A different image exists under the same name on Commons, but if I've understood things correctly, both files are supposed to show the same thing. However, both the English and the Japanese articles contain lots of chemical terms which say very little to me; it's possible I've misunderstood something. Since the images are a bit different, does it mean that one of them is wrong, or do they show two different valid representations of the same thing? Also, do we really need both images? Ideally, the files would, of course, be in SVG format instead of PNG. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 13:08, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

I am curious why you reverted my edit removing the reference to Züri as Swiss German for Zurich? Your edit simply said Correct Term in Swiss German. I've made arguments otherwise, including the obvious ones in the edit description when I removed it. You did not address the argument. Reversion is not helpful, and lacks a proper reference. It is hard not take offense to this since zero effort was made to address the issues brought forward for why it is inappropriate to put Züri at the top as a Swiss German name in the global sense. The standard is that a proper reference is required for information included in Wikipedia. This is an English Wiki. Referencing another, flawed, Wiki article in another language hardly qualifies. If you are familiar with dialect, then you would know that pronunciations can differ greatly between different regions. How then would one propose to assert a global Swiss German pronunciation? Or spelling? I know for a fact that Züri is not used in other areas, Graubunden being one. I also know that Zürich would be used in dialect if for instance you were referening a section of the city, such as Zürich-Schwamendingen would typically become Zürich-Schwämmi. There is no reason it couldn't be Züri-Schwämmi. In fact, it would have to be if Zuri was the proper Swiss German. I really don't understand why it is so offensive to deal with this issue in the proper context in the text, making it plain that it is Züri dialect in addition? Please address the issue. If I'm wrong, if Zürich is hochtdeutsch, and you have a reference for that, I'd be very grateful to have the information. If I see no appropriate response to these issues in the near future, I will again delete the reference to Züri at the top of the article and expect not to have to deal with continual reversions for no justifiable reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.150.55 ( talk) 21:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I noticed you reverted my edit which redirected ScienceDirect to Elsevier. Allow me to explain my rationale in making this edit: ScienceDirect is clearly not notable independently of being a means by which Elsevier posts articles from its journals online, and coverage of it in independent reliable sources is very scant. There are no such sources in the current version of the article, for example. Therefore I think a redirect is appropriate since notability is not inherited.

Hi! I saw this image is used on this article. IMHO, the image should not be used as the stick holder is not Japanese, a factual error. It should be used with this type of stick, probably Indian incense. It is dangerous to use the stick holder with Japanese incense because it could catch fire. I think the holder should be cropped at here. See Japanese incense, and Incense of India. Regards. Oda Mari ( talk) 16:43, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
I have searched in vain for the good path to get administrator’s help for the following issue and so I decided to send this request to some including you.
I have considerably expanded the article Guerrilla filmmaking and took care in referencing it as far as I could (over 90 links to trustful sources). I am an experienced editor of Wikipedia. For my surprise, the article was reverted by user CIRT to a preceding stub version mainly consisting of a very narrow list of films. Many important contents were removed. Self promotional vandalism seems to be the reason of such intervention, sustained by acute threats. I do not intend to respond with helpless and inconsequent arguments and the time I have to dedicate to Wikipedia is quite limited.
I’d be happy if you could pay some attention to this occurrence and let you decide whatever you think is reasonable.
My best,

Could you use your admin powers to find out what has happened with an image on German Wikipedia?
File:Bergen-auf-ruegen-rugard-turm-blick-nordost-bodden-ostsee thfr.jpg claims to come from de:Bild:Bergen-auf-ruegen-rugard-turm-blick-nordost-bodden-ostsee thfr.jpg. The file on German Wikipedia has been deleted with the log message "Eine identische Datei ist unter gleichem Namen auf Commons verfügbar. Sämtliche Metainformationen wurden korrekt übertragen." The file with the same name on Commons is not the same as the file on English Wikipedia.
Was the file on English Wikipedia ever uploaded to German Wikipedia under this name? Is the text in the log message on German Wikipedia incorrect? If the file can't be found on German Wikipedia, then I guess that the file on English Wikipedia doesn't have a valid source. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 14:56, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Can you help with this file? It says that the source is de:Datei:Gigi altro.jpg, and Special:Log reveals that German Wikipedia has had two files with that name. The most recent one (by de:User:Jenson P) seems to be the one on Commons under the same name, and the one on English Wikipedia is presumably the one uploaded by de:User:Aquazurra. That one was deleted in 2008 for the reason 'Seit mindestens 14 Tagen ohne korrekte Lizenzierung'. The upload log summary says 'Quelle: privat' which I presume means 'own work' (although it also could mean that the user just owns a copy of a photograph taken by someone else) and the upload log also mentions de:Template:Bild-GFDL, meaning that the file had a copyright tag.
Was the 2008 deletion on German Wikipedia correct? If so, then the file should probably be nominated for deletion on English Wikipedia too. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 18:15, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, Per WP:BURDEN, I have challenged unsourced statistics that have then been added back without any attempt to provide a source, despite me requesting on the users talk page. Regarding the notable players listing, there is a clear Manual of Style developed through longstanding consensus for this sort of thing. At every stage I have highlighted this in my edit summary. Elements that the other editor has made that have aligned the list with the required consensus have been left, elements that continue to fall well short of this requirement have been removed. At each instance the editor has been clearly directed to the area of the manual of style which continues to be contravened.
I am really not sure what discussion on the talk page would achieve (especially given that the user does not attempt to communicate in edit summaries and has not bothered to respond to my (admittedly belated) attempts to communicate directly on his talk page). Policy is clear, challenged information should not be added back without a reliable source and long standing consensus is clear at WP:FOOTY concerning how lists of notable players should be treated in club articles. A discussion between two editors on an article talk page would be an inappropriate forum to attempt to alter either policy or wider consensus. Fenix down ( talk) 11:22, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Leyo,
Since I have just started contributing to Wikipedia, I am still not familiar about the processes. Sorry for this. You marked the article "Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange" as "considered for deletion". I have just started with cleaning up certain Wikipedia pages that are connected to the research area "Music Information Retrieval" (MIR). MIREX is an important component of that research area. Therefore, I think it should be included in Wikipedia. Since I have to synchronize/discuss many things with colleagues, it will take a couple of days until everything is in a good shape. The main changes concerns the following sites:
/info/en/?search=International_Society_for_Music_Information_Retrieval /info/en/?search=Music_information_retrieval /info/en/?search=Music_Information_Retrieval_Evaluation_eXchange
Please reconsider your recommendation after these changes have been made. Of course, I am grateful for any helpful comments. Meinard.mueller ( talk) 14:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Leyo. 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.

Hi Leyo.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey quick note to thank you for the follow-up on the Eawag article (and basically watching over my typos)! I'll probably do a last bit of proofreading tomorrow, but I think I'm mostly done for the referencing work. I've put a note on the talk page asking for feedback vis-à-vis the removal of the {{ third-party}} and {{ more footnotes}} templates, but since you've worked on it too I might as well ping you directly. Cheers, Pplc ( talk) 16:14, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Polychlorinated terphenyl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chlorination. 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.

You sure do delete pages and ban users an awful lot for an admin who requested tools only for moving photos.
Colonel Warden was right about you, operating in a bureaucratic, high-handed fashion and does not communicate well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8803:400:3510:4905:16AF:BBB7:9701 ( talk) 17:14, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello Leyo,
I am currently facing some sort of an unfortunate problem. I have asked both Alex Shih and Bbb23 about this; I suppose I have annoyed both of them and I have no idea whom I am supposed to ask at this point. As you know, I have been tbanned from automobile and units of measurement (not complaining how unfair that was at this point); and, well, I have been found guilty of evading the topic ban because I had both asked another editor to refrain from adding original research to an automobile article and editing an article that was later declared automobile-related (ignoring my arguments and literature on the topic but not citing any sources). As the result, I have been blocked for 6 months for topic ban evasion. I definitely do not want to get blocked again for the same reason (that would most likely be an indefinite block), but I have no idea how to contribute to Wikipedia without accidently violating the tban. 'Automobile' and 'units of measurement' is just not very precise (technically I am violating the topic ban by signing my posts on talk pages as it adds units of measurement to it (date and time)); some have said that I am taking the ban too broadly, but then some topics were declared 'ban related' when I thought they were not. It was also suggested that the ban gets suspended (so I could prove that I am a proper editor), but other administrators have said that I can prove it without a ban suspension by creating some nice articles and the ban was not suspended. Now I have no idea what to do. I am obviously a knowledgable editor (just some good and featured article examples 1, 2, 3, 4) but the line between the non-automobile articles and the automobile articles is not very precise in this case. I have tried to write some non-automobile articles but I fear that some 'expert' would declare them automobile/unit of measurement-related even though they are not in my opinion. Could you do me a favour and read these articles I have already written and tell me what you think about them? It requires about 7 minutes of your time. Best regards, -- Johannes Maximilian ( talk) 00:21, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on isothiazolinone. The article in the Biological implications section says isothiazolinone, not derivatives. So I think this is confusing. How can they both be right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelly222 ( talk • contribs)

I think Alan Wood's website is reliable for fonts and such, but there's no evidence of WP:RS for toxicity date, which is covered by WP:MEDRS. In the end it's a personal website, this stuff needs to be sourced from a recognised authority - popularity is not, sadly, enough. Guy ( Help!) 23:03, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:39, 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.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
After solving your GHS question within 2.5 hrs, I expected a small "thank you" signal. Any note after that, for example questions and suggestions and comments, sounds better.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

I thought I would ask you if you know if anyone is looking at these chem images. -- MGA73 ( talk) 20:07, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Leyo, some time ago, I think you wrote to tell me that my SVG's are fake SVG's, i.e. not really vector graphics but something inferior with an SVG skin. Can you please check this image to see if I am still producing fakes vs the real thing?

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Looks like I've had an edit conflict with you at nonenes and I've overwritten your edit as a result. Apologies for that. It looks like you were fixing the table I coped over from de:wiki. I think I've made most of the same fixes in my edit. -- Project Osprey ( talk) 13:45, 10 May 2021 (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)

You reverted all PFAS to PFASs, even though the discussion had ended and you had no longer defended your position.
But you also reverted all my copy edits as well. You should have gone back and manually made the changes from PFAS to PFASs, and not done a complete reversion.
I'm also of the opinion that your defense of the use of PFASs instead of PFASs is wrong - the much more common usage is PFAS, and it makes no sense to pluralize an already plural word. By the definition we are using on the wiki page itself, the S stands for substances, and it makes no sense to say "substancess".
Please undo your reversion and keep my copy edits in place. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.11.5.2 ( talk • contribs)
