Hi. I just wondered if you've considered becoming an admin. You seem experienced enough, so I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested. Kind regards. Epbr123 ( talk) 12:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
To tell the truth Mj, I'm really not familiar enough with your editing to have an opinion :) For what it's worth you've struck me as a responsible user who would be unlikely to do any damage, but I'd probably have to take a look through your editing history to confirm that impression.
As for your comment about whether adminship would reduce the amount of time spent on content - the answer to that would be entirely up to you. If you want to go and do a lot of adminny type things then I guess it will reduce the time you have for other activities, but if you are just going to continue editing more or less as you are now, obviously it won't. Now, if you were to stand for arbcom, I would definitely advise against it if you wanted to remain content focussed, but for adminship - no, it's just not that big a deal :) Gatoclass ( talk) 17:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Mjroots. I'm posting to let you know that your name has been mentioned on a list of potential candidates for adminship on the talk page for RfA's here. If you are interested in running, or if you would like to make any comments, feel free to join the discussion. decltype ( talk) 20:16, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi again Mjroots :). I saw and recognized your name on the aforementioned list of possible candidates for adminship. After reviewing your contributions, I think that you would make a good admin. I see that decltype has already contacted you about this, and I wondered if I could provide a co-nomination. Malinaccier ( talk) 17:12, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Please follow the instructions listed at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nominate. Don't forget to answer the questions and transclude the nomination when you are done. Also:
Good luck! Malinaccier ( talk) 21:20, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful. If you have any questions, get in touch on my talk page. WJBscribe (talk) 22:52, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Indeed. We haven't spoken much, but I knew you were a good candidate. Rodhull andemu 23:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to post an individual message on the talk page of everyone who voted for me, whether for or against. Please accept this as my thank you message to you all. As some of you commented, there are areas where I do not have much experience in. I'm not going to go steaming in anywhere creating havoc. Those areas I lack experience in will wait for a while until I get used to using the admin tools in the areas I do have knowledge of. If I feel that I cannot assist an editors query I will ask another Admin to assist that editor. Mjroots ( talk) 06:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you fully protected this article from editing. I have no issue with the protection tag, but could you please add a protection template on the article explaining why the article is fully protected from editiing now. I had no idea why the article was protected until I clicked on the view source tab, and saw your comment and your reasoning there. I don't know where to find it but it's a specific template for this purpose nevertheless. Please add it where editors can be informed on discussing issues pertaining to consensus on the talk page.- Thanks Burningview ✉ 18:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, since you are the admin who locked the Joe Wilson article, I wanted to point out to you hat I have just posted a lengthy explanation of why I am increasingly convinced that Jimmy Carter was probably misquoted and for BLP reasons the "racism" charge does not belong in the "Outburst" section. I'd like to invite you to read through it if you have time and take action based on whatever consensus emerges. Thanks. -- Mr. Bergstrom ( talk) 15:17, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I noted you've
previously noted questionable edits by
User:Ani medjool. So I bring to your attention
this recent action with the edit summary _(delete lies)_, and what I wrote just now to
User:Tiamut, whose attempts at communication with
Ani medjool were likewise deleted as "lies." What follow-up do you advise? Thanks,
Deborahjay (

09:27, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Further: Thanks for your speedy response. I wasn't seeking action regarding the user's own deletion of User talk page content (as I wrote to User:Tiamut, I've done so myself on mine with content I've found objectionable), but sending a head's up on the expressed attitude that these warnings, etc. are considered and termed "lies." Not being an admin, I don't want to personally patrol this user nor do I have adequate tools to do so at any but the most rudimentary level. I am concerned about what I view as the high likelihood of future bad-faith editing, or even vandalism and sock-puppetry by
User:Ani medjool whose record has been quite consistently... bad. Is there any channel for a notification of this sort? --

Commenting here because ANI is protected: you should know that you are apparently dealing with a bunch of 4chan idiots [3], i.e. there is more than one vandal. I don't know what to suggest doing about it other than letting the recent change patrol know what's up, so they can make sure to revert it all. I don't know who "Dark" is. Maybe it's worth finding out, maybe not. 69.228.171.150 ( talk) 10:45, 21 October 2009 (UTC)`

You appear to have missed the irony of my use of quotes re "new" user on the ANI page. I think you will find that this user and User:HampshireCricketFan are one and the same person. I suggest that you need to look a little deeper and trust experienced editors rather than immediately evoking sympathy for the poor "new" user. Why haven't you told this person that tags are placed in good faith, generally by experienced editors who understand their usage and purpose, and that articles carrying tags must be improved before the tag is removed? And how come a "new" user is instantly so knowledgeable about maintenance tags that he can make an immediate decision to remove them. I would say he has used the site before and is pursuing an agenda, wouldn't you? ---- Jack | talk page 19:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Amiteli ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) returned to continue spamming after the warning and AN/I thread.-- Crossmr ( talk) 04:33, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Greetings, Senior Editor Mj. Could you please have a look at the edits made by Ani medjool ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) over the last 2-3 days? This editor clearly has an agenda of POV politicizing of every article pertaining to the Golan Heights—every locale and business, even geological features. Everything Israeli there would seem to be disappearing into Syria. I am at a loss as to what action to take, but am certain he is damaging Wikipedia. I don't know if it is vandalism, but to me it looks grossly disruptive, and is habitual, as part of a long-term pattern. This user has been warned and scolded many times, but never blocked, and carries on with impunity. He removed your level 4 warning of Oct. 13 from his User talk page with the comment "delete lies".
I have had enough head-on encounters to know that if I attempt to revert any of his edits it will only lead to re-reversion, general unpleasantness, and possibly my being the one accused of vandalizing. We are dealing with someone who makes defamatory comments such as these.
Would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you. Hertz1888 ( talk) 08:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

For some reason the debate seems to be on the 2010 season talk page. I can't say the behaviour from either was decent, but only a quick glance seems to show Mr X has a bit of a pattern emerging while it was out of character for 359. -- Narson ~ Talk • 22:13, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
My question is mainly one of the fact that yes, discussion was not taking place at Talk:2009 Formula One season, but what if this had been a discussion at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Formula One. I'm just curious how much of our contribs were checked, because I'd think that our contribs would show "Pre-season testing" as an area of discussion at approximately the same time, even if it was in another article's talk page, and at least worth checking into.

Hi, you recently deleted my article about a brain area called the strumus. This was uncalled-for since I only recited the information about the structure which was mentioned in a neuroscience book, that you apparently did not bother to read before deleting.

Hello
I would like you to ask you to express your opinion about the format that should be used for the localities from Romania where Hungarian has co-official status (where at least 20% of the population speaks Hungarian)
Variant 1. Romanian_Name (
Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 2. Romanian_Name or Hungarian_Name (
Romanian: Romanian_Name;
Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 3. Romanian_Name(
Romanian) or Hungarian_Name(
Hungarian)
There are used different formats on different articles and I think it should exist a standard format used for all of them
Thanks in advance for your answer.

I can only repeat myself. Please look at the compromise reached many years ago on this subject(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Odorheiu_Secuiesc) It was clearly agreed that >20%, Hungarian names should be bolded and put into the infobox, too. Everywhere else in Transylvania, even if the Hungarian population is less than 20%, Hungarian placename should be in brackets.
Please also study the recent opinion on this issue of neutral and undoubtedly impartial editors here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:S%C4%83rma%C5%9Fu
Please stop wikihounding and vandalizing hundreds of articles.
Kind regards: User:Rokarudi Rokarudi 09:02, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
With all respect to your ruling on the subject matter, I would like to remind you that uninvolved neutral parties User:Markussep and User:Jezhotwells in a separate dispute resolution process gave an absolutely different opinion just before this discussion started. I asked you to notify them about the discussion, and it was your chioce not to do it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:S%C4%83rma%C5%9Fu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests/Archive_73
In your ruling you called for uninvolved editors who may disagree with your reading of consensus to say so and to explain why this is not the case. As you may have overlooked the above links I gave in the discusion, I asked these editors to give you an opinion on this issue, as my arguments seem to you to be of a too much interested party. I would also be happy if you could contact them as to the right interpretation. I did not contact them before as I did not want to make seem stacking the vote. Markussep works in the geography project and he is very experienced on geographich naming issue. You can also contact any of the editors who took part in the 2007 compromise User:Rokarudi--Rokarudi 17:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Mjroots,
You made a ruling in the discussion Hungarian names for Romanian places here:
In the discussion there were 3 participants: Iadrian yu ( talk · contribs), Umumu ( talk · contribs), Amon Koth ( talk · contribs) versus Rokarudi ( talk · contribs). The status quo before the discussion was according to a compromise reached by a greater number of editors in Odorhei Secuiesc discussion. As Rokarudi pointed out, according to this compromise the specific rules for Transylvania were the following : Romanian titles, Romanian and Hungarian names in the infobox (if =E2==89=A520), Romanian names in bold and Hungarian ones (for anywhere in Transylvania, even if <20%) in italics, and also German names if applicable. After the ruling, one of the participants Umumu was proven to be a sock-puppet of Iaaasi and indefinitely banned from editing Wikipedia (although he got a promise for possibility of returning by administrator Excirial that could happen some month later if and only if he refrain from making sockpuppets and editing controversial topics). The other participant, Amon Koth, never had any single edit on Wikipedia, therefore, his opinion may not be regarded as an opinion that creates a new consensus. Please revise your ruling as the majority opinion accepted by you as a new consensus was based on the opinion of banned editors and editor without edits.Very best wishes.-- Nmate ( talk) 09:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Sir, I am Luigi Perali, M.D.,a.79 - retired after serving in Public Institutions such as Hospitals and University Clinics- the Author of the “Comfort Definition”. I started dedicating to the study of the ergonomics and comfort of the chair since 1988. In the year 1998 I wrote my first paper “Ergonomics of the chair” which was published in Dec. issue of UFFICIOSTILE, an Italian design magazine. In that article I first tackled the task to define comfort as objective, analyzing the posture of the back and the energies spent by the back muscles from a physical point of view.
• First, I want to make clear that the article “Comfort Definition” has not the purpose of prodding the sale of books that I have never written. • Second, I indicated my website in the References only for readers’ convenience, in order to make it easier to find and read the articles. • Third, I cited in the references only my papers, because it appears to me I am the only Author to define comfort as objective up to now, analyzing the issue from a physical point of view.

Luigi, the issue here is that while you may have been published in reliable sources, your conflict of interest means that you should not add the info yourself. You may point other editors to your work via talk pages of articles relevant to the topic, and allow them to decide on the merits of what you say. Mjroots ( talk) 10:23, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
I appreciate your professionalism re the Chaim Rabinowitz AFD matter, but I would like to clarify one thing, which should be emblematic of the entire sordid situation.
I pointed out to IZAK at the AFD in direct response to his ridiculous assertions re my username that: I am allowed to keep [my username]... according to ArbCom. Anyone who has a problem with that can take it up with them."
His boilerplate response was: :::Note: You do not have the right to "impose" any policies, certainly not ones as serious as AfD policies that rely on complex layers of past WP rules and policies that have changed over time, if you do not abide by WP:USERNAME policy. You cannot rely on uncited "exceptions" that allow you to do as you please while other users are forced to abide by the latest WP policies regarding articles that do not recognize any exceptions. IZAK ( talk) 03:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
It is impossible to engage in good faith with such persons who cannot and will not accept or absorb any information, even from an admin like Alison, whose integrity was challenged for having disagreed with him. For User:IZAK to state that he was "not familiar with the complexities" of the matter, when he was repeatedly told by a series of admins that he was incorrect and when he was solely and completely responsible for having raised this whole matter in the first place, is, therefore, nonsense. When someone cites the the Arbcom as a basis for anything it should make an impression on the person to whom it is being addressed. It is disgraceful that IZAK has gotten away with harassing other editors and vandalizing (by deletion) comments posted by David Eppstein, an administrator (see this diff) without earning himself a serious block.

Hello Mr. "Mjroots", we have a problem! It is not as funny as you might think it is, if you have a lock into the internet and find a picture of one of your aircrafts next to headlines and words like aircraft accident, fatalities or injured... So again: The aircraft and airline shown in the headline picture was not involved or related to the accident. Unauthorised use of OLT related pictorial material is not acceptable to us. Infact there are a lot pictures of the accident site and aircraft availible, is it possible to use a picture which is related to the accident and the article.

Hi Mjroots. I'm not sure what to make of this one. Christopher Gill had an uncited update by User talk:144.173.5.197 reporting his death.

G'day from Oz; not sure if I'm violating protocols here, but could you please consider semi-protecting Alan Joyce (executive), who is the Qantas CEO. There has been a fair amount of argy-bargy between Qantas and some of the unions representing its employees, which has spilled a bit into the article, plus there is an IP editor seemingly hell-bent on having him labelled as an atheist - which he may or may not be, but there isn't any source saying so one way or the other AFAIK. No need to reply on my talk page at all, I will pick it up via my watchlist and keeping an eye on your talk page. Cheers YSSYguy ( talk) 00:22, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Mjroots, I am the person "seemingly hell-bent on having him labelled as an atheist". Unfortuantely you have been misled by YSSYguy, who obviously has a POV he needs to push on this matter, regardless of what the source material says. I won't try to justify further here, but please have a look at the edits yourself and see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.176.43 ( talk) 07:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. I've never made the assertion he's an atheist (I have no idea whether he is or not). The source already used in the article to indicate Joyce reads maths & science also indicates he reads the works of atheists. For some reason known only to himself, YSSYguy wishes to remove that information; no doubt he's involved in the current dispute somehow. I don't care enough to continue challenging the matter; just hate to see someone's particular philosophical position being used to hide information coming straight from an interview with the subject of the biography himself. I'm obviously new to Wikipedia, but from now on might leave it up to others to play these sorts of games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.176.43 ( talk) 02:56, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey, mj, I was hoping you might be able to take a look at the 2012 Formula One season and Talk:2012 Formula One season pages. A user, Colinmotox11 has been making some edits that have been disruptive. I posted a message on his Talk page that I think is a fair summary of the events of the past 24 hours. Basically, he has been making unsubstantiated edits to the page, ignoring preliminary consensus on the issue, undoing any subsequent reversions, using contradictory arguments to justify it and accusing members who disagree with him of violating WP:OWN. While his intentions are good - he only wants to make the page accurate - his methods and his attitude are completely unnecessary. I don't know if there is anything you or the other administrators can do, but I don't think we've heard the last of him on this matter. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 06:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey, mj, sorry to bother you again, but can you please take a look at Colinmotox11 again? He's trying to force through changes to the 2012 Formula One season by claiming he has got consensus for them, but reading over the arguments posted on the talk page, it's clear that consensus is against him: four people support his changes, and seven do not. Can you please do something about this, because he's dangerously close to violating the three-edit rule.
Furthermore, I feel that his edits set a dangerous precedent. His footnotes in the driver table essentially create a scenario where the table says one thing, and then he gets out of it by saying something else entirely at the bottom of the table, explaining why content should not be included in the article.

I'm uninvolved with whatever quarrel is going on over the article currently at Action of 25 January 2012, but the absurdity of this title has come up in at least two discrete ITN discussions.

Hi Mj - sorry to bring this up again. I hope that you are well
As soon as I mentioned to Hstudent about Epm-84 being absent from the discussion - the next response was a rather poorly mannered response from Epm-84. It's nearly a month since I started the discussion (as JamesSteamPacket) and they insist on carrying on the discussion even after a consensus was reached. I'm planning to implement the removal and relocation of the information that they inserted (as per the 2-1 in favour consensus reached by April 14) in the next few days - but I highly suspect they will probably continue to revert my attempts to remove and relocate the information. Is there anything that can be done if they do go against the consensus?
I have tried to bring the discussion to a close - but in my view it's just turned into them arguing because they can't accept the consensus didn't go in their favour. Their latest solution was the deletion of the entire table - which to me is just an absolutely ridiculous suggestion
They have now twice avoided addressing or denying my suspicions that Epm-84 and Hstudent are the same person - so I think that this has all but confirmed that my suspicions are indeed correct. Do you know if there any updates on the investigation I requested? I think that it may be worth using their denial of my suspicions as further evidence to support the theory that Epm-84 is the same person as Hstudent - Coradia175 ( talk) 17:25, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello Mjroots. I'm interested in the admin actions you've taken at Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. There was a content dispute between an ip editor on one side and yourself and MilborneOne on the other. It appears as though you may have used your admin powers inappropriately here to exclude ip editors, thereby enabling your preferred version to prevail. Furthermore, as an active editor on the article you should not use admin powers, but rather, request actions from an uninvolved admin. Can you enlarge on what's happened here? Thanks. MidnightBlue (Talk) 17:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
We have had an ANI opened since the 7th, nothing new has been added for 3 or 4 days now. We could use an Admin to take a look at it and determine what is the appropriate course of action. If requesting this oversight is in violation of any wikipedia policy, please ignore it, this is not an attempt at vote stacking or canvassing. But it seems discussion is finished there and we all would like some closure.

Hi Mjroots - it should be ok to remove the full protection from Chartres now as the dissenting editors have been blocked as confirmed socks.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:43, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Mjroots, RE the notice you left yesterday on my talk page:
Consider yourself very lucky not to have been blocked per WP:EW hit me as rather ironic considering what several editors and myself have endured for months - since June 2015 for me & as early as 2014 for others. The recent rampage at Chartres (and Welborn Griffith) could be understood only by one familiar with the disaster at the Marie Antoinette article. May I also point out that what you propose I do in case of edit warring: "raise the issue on the article's talk page" is exactly what was done at the Marie Antoinette talk page [16], action which, for months - beginning here [17], wasted a lot of editors' time & came to naught, until Flyer22 took matters into her own hands. Had the issue been brought to Chartres talk page, the battle would still be going on with single contributor (myself) fighting an army of socks for the next hundred years.
In view of the above, I personally do not consider myself very lucky not to have been blocked, but do consider that my doggedness at not abandoning the subject, at the risk of being kicked out of Wikipedia, forced the matter to finally be addressed again - under a different title, that of Chartres [18] - after it had been "archived". [19]
Finally, like Jezebel's Ponyo, I am not at all convinced that this is the end as long as anyone can open an anonymous account on en.wiki & immediately bring havoc to articles. This is not possible to do at de.wiki, where edits by new contributors must be reviewed by a veteran wiki contributor before being accepted - and the new editor has to have accomplished over 200 edits before being allowed to go non-supervised. Moreover, one fact is certain: what happened at Chartres is an obvious example of the fact that I am being stalked, as done here: [20] by [21]. What has been removed had been brought to article by me [22]. Additionally, you will notice who had contributed to article, only to be reversed. My belief is that there is a huge problem at Wikipedia and, if serious contributors are not protected, they will go away and, in the end, it might be the end of Wikipedia.
If my reason(s) for persevering at the Chartres & Welborn Griffith articles, as others and myself had done at Marie Antoinette, had condemned me, so be it: as I stated earlier somewhere, my actions were "for the good of the cause".

Mjroots …and as the person who handled most of WP:AN#How to handle a BLP violation?, would you be able to have a read over User talk:Phoenix7777#WP:BLPEL and review the revert discussed there (intentionally not directly linked to try to avoid more potential meta clean-up + revdels later if it goes in the that direction). (The link has been back on the article's Talk page for about half a day now). — Sladen ( talk) 19:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Sladen: - you mean the edit on the article talk page early this morning which added nearly 1kb of text? Mjroots ( talk) 19:43, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
I will bring this issue to WP:AN later. If we cannot write a link to a news which includes BLP to the talk page, we cannot discuss even whether the inclusion of the BLP to the article is a BLP violation or not. WP:BLPNAME or WP:BLP1E says about the inclusion to article not Talk page. Also the reason WP:RD2 is hardly applicable.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 21:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
FYI. These sources include the names of victims which apparently against WP:BLPNAME if the names were included in the body of the article. If you wish to revdel, feel free to do so.
If your interpretation of the ANI discussion was that there was not enough support for a mutual IBAN between myself and John Carter, you should have specified as much in your close. I requested an interaction ban with John Carter for a number of reasons, not just to do with my talk page;John Carter accepted the proposal, and it was supported by virtually everyone else to boot. I know my request was poorly formatted and I was very long-winded in some of my responses, and if your interpretation was that this merited rejecting my request I will accept that, but this probably should have been written into your close.

Hi Mjroots, you've protected a version of this article due to move warring, but the version you've protected is not the long term stable version. Per WP:RM, normally the long term stable version should be the default if there is a dispute, unless a move request determines otherwise. In this case, the version from 21 July 2013 through to 17 September 2016 was Newcourt railway station, Exeter, so could you please move it back to there, and any users who want an alternative location can file a move request?

FWIW, I think the post made by the IP was made by someone at the seminary where I am typing this who I have been discussing various possibilities regarding a parallel Bible project on the WF and gathering together material for a still theoretical interdenominational i-phone "saint of the day" app to be maybe based at least in part of WF material. I did make the mistake of giving out my alias to one of the staff here, and mentioned one of the most problematic cases I could think of in recent times regarding the editors here. But, no problems. John Carter ( talk) 14:39, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
None of those edits are about "Japanese culture", and two out of three of them don't mention anything even remotely related to Japan -- the third was a response to a request from another user to translate something for him off-wiki. John Carter is here continuing his year-long pattern of following me around and trying to wikilawyer me into a block. Also, anyone who wants to block me based on John Carter's dubious reports of me violating a TBAN he clearly either doesn't understand or is deliberately misrepresenting should read this first.
It's also worth pointing out that John Carter just admitted to (inadvertently) engaging in meatpuppetry in order to continue his harassment of me.
I really would like to just forget about this whole incident, but ... I don't know ... if this disruption continues I guess I'll just have to draft another ANI thread.
Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 00:56, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
@Mjroots: Sorry, I just noticed this. Thank you for carefully analyzing my edits before blocking me for TBAN violations.

Is there a reason for full protection instead of template protection, which is used on similar templates? Peter James ( talk) 09:08, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Mjroots. 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 Mjroots/Archive.
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)

Whether "looser" is a better description or not is not an argument I want to get into at the moment, but someone has tagged the editor’s talk page,[ [24]] accusing him of vandalism, which clearly it isn’t. Given that this sort of tagging could be seen as a bit bitey, what would you say, with your admin hat on, is the right thing to do here? Is it okay to remove the tag, leave a message on the new editor's page, leave a message on the tagger’s talk page, or something else?-- Ykraps ( talk) 07:53, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

I don't think the procedural close was the right ruling there. It's clear Burning Pillar was intending to nominate every article in that category for deletion, not just the category itself. He only nominated the category itself because it would be empty (which could have been done by speedy if and when the articles were deleted.) But the fact that it was listed under the category and not one of the individual articles in the category (with the others mentioned as well and tagged properly, as they were) is not enough for a procedural close. That being said, it's clear consensus was to keep and it probably could have been SNOW-ed anyway. Smartyllama ( talk) 13:51, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.Hi Mjroots,
I think you might have missed my comment at the ANI thread about this. Would you consider undoing the protection you placed on Template:New England Patriots roster? I don't think the page was receiving persistent disruptive editing, so I don't think the protection was warranted. There are a lot of IP edits to the page, and they generally seem to be constructive or at least made in good faith. If User:38.27.128.203 is making edits that are non-constructive despite being told to stop, then that IP might need to be blocked for a while, but I don't think protecting the page is the right solution.

Yo Mj, been awhile! A few points on your message to Gamaliel. 1) WP:DTTR, you know that just pisses people off/ don't be a jerk. 2) You'd taken part in the discussion, so any block would have violated WP:INVOLVED. 3) Gamaliel only made two reverts, so I'm curious to know what led to the " banhammer" threat. 4) I'm curious why you chose to only warn him and not Daniel Case or Johnuniq, while leaving this message on the former's talk page.
TL;DR: Please make sure you're upholding our administrator standards and not inadvertently spreading a chilling effect. Not cool. Thanks and cheers, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:31, 14 April 2018 (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 02:46, 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 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.

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. I just wondered if you've considered becoming an admin. You seem experienced enough, so I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested. Kind regards. Epbr123 ( talk) 12:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
To tell the truth Mj, I'm really not familiar enough with your editing to have an opinion :) For what it's worth you've struck me as a responsible user who would be unlikely to do any damage, but I'd probably have to take a look through your editing history to confirm that impression.
As for your comment about whether adminship would reduce the amount of time spent on content - the answer to that would be entirely up to you. If you want to go and do a lot of adminny type things then I guess it will reduce the time you have for other activities, but if you are just going to continue editing more or less as you are now, obviously it won't. Now, if you were to stand for arbcom, I would definitely advise against it if you wanted to remain content focussed, but for adminship - no, it's just not that big a deal :) Gatoclass ( talk) 17:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Take a look at the administrators' how-to guide and the administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, the practice exercises at the new admin school may be useful.

Further: Thanks for your speedy response. I wasn't seeking action regarding the user's own deletion of User talk page content (as I wrote to User:Tiamut, I've done so myself on mine with content I've found objectionable), but sending a head's up on the expressed attitude that these warnings, etc. are considered and termed "lies." Not being an admin, I don't want to personally patrol this user nor do I have adequate tools to do so at any but the most rudimentary level. I am concerned about what I view as the high likelihood of future bad-faith editing, or even vandalism and sock-puppetry by
User:Ani medjool whose record has been quite consistently... bad. Is there any channel for a notification of this sort? --

You appear to have missed the irony of my use of quotes re "new" user on the ANI page. I think you will find that this user and User:HampshireCricketFan are one and the same person. I suggest that you need to look a little deeper and trust experienced editors rather than immediately evoking sympathy for the poor "new" user. Why haven't you told this person that tags are placed in good faith, generally by experienced editors who understand their usage and purpose, and that articles carrying tags must be improved before the tag is removed? And how come a "new" user is instantly so knowledgeable about maintenance tags that he can make an immediate decision to remove them. I would say he has used the site before and is pursuing an agenda, wouldn't you? ---- Jack | talk page 19:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Greetings, Senior Editor Mj. Could you please have a look at the edits made by Ani medjool ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) over the last 2-3 days? This editor clearly has an agenda of POV politicizing of every article pertaining to the Golan Heights—every locale and business, even geological features. Everything Israeli there would seem to be disappearing into Syria. I am at a loss as to what action to take, but am certain he is damaging Wikipedia. I don't know if it is vandalism, but to me it looks grossly disruptive, and is habitual, as part of a long-term pattern. This user has been warned and scolded many times, but never blocked, and carries on with impunity. He removed your level 4 warning of Oct. 13 from his User talk page with the comment "delete lies".
I have had enough head-on encounters to know that if I attempt to revert any of his edits it will only lead to re-reversion, general unpleasantness, and possibly my being the one accused of vandalizing. We are dealing with someone who makes defamatory comments such as these.

I would like you to ask you to express your opinion about the format that should be used for the localities from Romania where Hungarian has co-official status (where at least 20% of the population speaks Hungarian)
Variant 1. Romanian_Name (
Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 2. Romanian_Name or Hungarian_Name (
Romanian: Romanian_Name;
Hungarian: Hungarian_Name)
Variant 3. Romanian_Name(
Romanian) or Hungarian_Name(
Hungarian)
There are used different formats on different articles and I think it should exist a standard format used for all of them

I can only repeat myself. Please look at the compromise reached many years ago on this subject(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Odorheiu_Secuiesc) It was clearly agreed that >20%, Hungarian names should be bolded and put into the infobox, too. Everywhere else in Transylvania, even if the Hungarian population is less than 20%, Hungarian placename should be in brackets.
Please also study the recent opinion on this issue of neutral and undoubtedly impartial editors here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:S%C4%83rma%C5%9Fu

Hi,
With all respect to your ruling on the subject matter, I would like to remind you that uninvolved neutral parties User:Markussep and User:Jezhotwells in a separate dispute resolution process gave an absolutely different opinion just before this discussion started. I asked you to notify them about the discussion, and it was your chioce not to do it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:S%C4%83rma%C5%9Fu
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests/Archive_73
In your ruling you called for uninvolved editors who may disagree with your reading of consensus to say so and to explain why this is not the case. As you may have overlooked the above links I gave in the discusion, I asked these editors to give you an opinion on this issue, as my arguments seem to you to be of a too much interested party. I would also be happy if you could contact them as to the right interpretation. I did not contact them before as I did not want to make seem stacking the vote. Markussep works in the geography project and he is very experienced on geographich naming issue.

Hello Mjroots,
You made a ruling in the discussion Hungarian names for Romanian places here:
In the discussion there were 3 participants: Iadrian yu ( talk · contribs), Umumu ( talk · contribs), Amon Koth ( talk · contribs) versus Rokarudi ( talk · contribs). The status quo before the discussion was according to a compromise reached by a greater number of editors in Odorhei Secuiesc discussion. As Rokarudi pointed out, according to this compromise the specific rules for Transylvania were the following : Romanian titles, Romanian and Hungarian names in the infobox (if =E2==89=A520), Romanian names in bold and Hungarian ones (for anywhere in Transylvania, even if <20%) in italics, and also German names if applicable. After the ruling, one of the participants Umumu was proven to be a sock-puppet of Iaaasi and indefinitely banned from editing Wikipedia (although he got a promise for possibility of returning by administrator Excirial that could happen some month later if and only if he refrain from making sockpuppets and editing controversial topics). The other participant, Amon Koth, never had any single edit on Wikipedia, therefore, his opinion may not be regarded as an opinion that creates a new consensus. Please revise your ruling as the majority opinion accepted by you as a new consensus was based on the opinion of banned editors and editor without edits.Very best wishes.-- Nmate ( talk) 09:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Sir, I am Luigi Perali, M.D.,a.79 - retired after serving in Public Institutions such as Hospitals and University Clinics- the Author of the “Comfort Definition”. I started dedicating to the study of the ergonomics and comfort of the chair since 1988. In the year 1998 I wrote my first paper “Ergonomics of the chair” which was published in Dec. issue of UFFICIOSTILE, an Italian design magazine. In that article I first tackled the task to define comfort as objective, analyzing the posture of the back and the energies spent by the back muscles from a physical point of view.
• First, I want to make clear that the article “Comfort Definition” has not the purpose of prodding the sale of books that I have never written. • Second, I indicated my website in the References only for readers’ convenience, in order to make it easier to find and read the articles. • Third, I cited in the references only my papers, because it appears to me I am the only Author to define comfort as objective up to now, analyzing the issue from a physical point of view.
Best regards 151.76.148.130 ( talk) 10:06, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
Luigi, the issue here is that while you may have been published in reliable sources, your conflict of interest means that you should not add the info yourself. You may point other editors to your work via talk pages of articles relevant to the topic, and allow them to decide on the merits of what you say. Mjroots ( talk) 10:23, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
I appreciate your professionalism re the Chaim Rabinowitz AFD matter, but I would like to clarify one thing, which should be emblematic of the entire sordid situation.
I pointed out to IZAK at the AFD in direct response to his ridiculous assertions re my username that: I am allowed to keep [my username]... according to ArbCom. Anyone who has a problem with that can take it up with them."
His boilerplate response was: :::Note: You do not have the right to "impose" any policies, certainly not ones as serious as AfD policies that rely on complex layers of past WP rules and policies that have changed over time, if you do not abide by WP:USERNAME policy. You cannot rely on uncited "exceptions" that allow you to do as you please while other users are forced to abide by the latest WP policies regarding articles that do not recognize any exceptions. IZAK ( talk) 03:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
It is impossible to engage in good faith with such persons who cannot and will not accept or absorb any information, even from an admin like Alison, whose integrity was challenged for having disagreed with him. For User:IZAK to state that he was "not familiar with the complexities" of the matter, when he was repeatedly told by a series of admins that he was incorrect and when he was solely and completely responsible for having raised this whole matter in the first place, is, therefore, nonsense. When someone cites the the Arbcom as a basis for anything it should make an impression on the person to whom it is being addressed. It is disgraceful that IZAK has gotten away with harassing other editors and vandalizing (by deletion) comments posted by David Eppstein, an administrator (see this diff) without earning himself a serious block.

Hello Mr. "Mjroots", we have a problem! It is not as funny as you might think it is, if you have a lock into the internet and find a picture of one of your aircrafts next to headlines and words like aircraft accident, fatalities or injured... So again: The aircraft and airline shown in the headline picture was not involved or related to the accident. Unauthorised use of OLT related pictorial material is not acceptable to us. Infact there are a lot pictures of the accident site and aircraft availible, is it possible to use a picture which is related to the accident and the article.

Hi Mjroots. I'm not sure what to make of this one. Christopher Gill had an uncited update by User talk:144.173.5.197 reporting his death.

G'day from Oz; not sure if I'm violating protocols here, but could you please consider semi-protecting Alan Joyce (executive), who is the Qantas CEO. There has been a fair amount of argy-bargy between Qantas and some of the unions representing its employees, which has spilled a bit into the article, plus there is an IP editor seemingly hell-bent on having him labelled as an atheist - which he may or may not be, but there isn't any source saying so one way or the other AFAIK. No need to reply on my talk page at all, I will pick it up via my watchlist and keeping an eye on your talk page. Cheers YSSYguy ( talk) 00:22, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Mjroots, I am the person "seemingly hell-bent on having him labelled as an atheist". Unfortuantely you have been misled by YSSYguy, who obviously has a POV he needs to push on this matter, regardless of what the source material says. I won't try to justify further here, but please have a look at the edits yourself and see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.176.43 ( talk) 07:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. I've never made the assertion he's an atheist (I have no idea whether he is or not). The source already used in the article to indicate Joyce reads maths & science also indicates he reads the works of atheists. For some reason known only to himself, YSSYguy wishes to remove that information; no doubt he's involved in the current dispute somehow. I don't care enough to continue challenging the matter; just hate to see someone's particular philosophical position being used to hide information coming straight from an interview with the subject of the biography himself. I'm obviously new to Wikipedia, but from now on might leave it up to others to play these sorts of games. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.176.43 ( talk) 02:56, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey, mj, I was hoping you might be able to take a look at the 2012 Formula One season and Talk:2012 Formula One season pages. A user, Colinmotox11 has been making some edits that have been disruptive. I posted a message on his Talk page that I think is a fair summary of the events of the past 24 hours. Basically, he has been making unsubstantiated edits to the page, ignoring preliminary consensus on the issue, undoing any subsequent reversions, using contradictory arguments to justify it and accusing members who disagree with him of violating WP:OWN. While his intentions are good - he only wants to make the page accurate - his methods and his attitude are completely unnecessary. I don't know if there is anything you or the other administrators can do, but I don't think we've heard the last of him on this matter. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 06:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey, mj, sorry to bother you again, but can you please take a look at Colinmotox11 again? He's trying to force through changes to the 2012 Formula One season by claiming he has got consensus for them, but reading over the arguments posted on the talk page, it's clear that consensus is against him: four people support his changes, and seven do not. Can you please do something about this, because he's dangerously close to violating the three-edit rule.
Furthermore, I feel that his edits set a dangerous precedent. His footnotes in the driver table essentially create a scenario where the table says one thing, and then he gets out of it by saying something else entirely at the bottom of the table, explaining why content should not be included in the article.

I'm uninvolved with whatever quarrel is going on over the article currently at Action of 25 January 2012, but the absurdity of this title has come up in at least two discrete ITN discussions.

Hi Mj - sorry to bring this up again. I hope that you are well
As soon as I mentioned to Hstudent about Epm-84 being absent from the discussion - the next response was a rather poorly mannered response from Epm-84. It's nearly a month since I started the discussion (as JamesSteamPacket) and they insist on carrying on the discussion even after a consensus was reached. I'm planning to implement the removal and relocation of the information that they inserted (as per the 2-1 in favour consensus reached by April 14) in the next few days - but I highly suspect they will probably continue to revert my attempts to remove and relocate the information. Is there anything that can be done if they do go against the consensus?
I have tried to bring the discussion to a close - but in my view it's just turned into them arguing because they can't accept the consensus didn't go in their favour. Their latest solution was the deletion of the entire table - which to me is just an absolutely ridiculous suggestion
They have now twice avoided addressing or denying my suspicions that Epm-84 and Hstudent are the same person - so I think that this has all but confirmed that my suspicions are indeed correct. Do you know if there any updates on the investigation I requested? I think that it may be worth using their denial of my suspicions as further evidence to support the theory that Epm-84 is the same person as Hstudent - Coradia175 ( talk) 17:25, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello Mjroots. I'm interested in the admin actions you've taken at Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. There was a content dispute between an ip editor on one side and yourself and MilborneOne on the other. It appears as though you may have used your admin powers inappropriately here to exclude ip editors, thereby enabling your preferred version to prevail. Furthermore, as an active editor on the article you should not use admin powers, but rather, request actions from an uninvolved admin. Can you enlarge on what's happened here? Thanks. MidnightBlue (Talk) 17:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
We have had an ANI opened since the 7th, nothing new has been added for 3 or 4 days now. We could use an Admin to take a look at it and determine what is the appropriate course of action. If requesting this oversight is in violation of any wikipedia policy, please ignore it, this is not an attempt at vote stacking or canvassing. But it seems discussion is finished there and we all would like some closure.

Hi Mjroots - it should be ok to remove the full protection from Chartres now as the dissenting editors have been blocked as confirmed socks.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:43, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Mjroots, RE the notice you left yesterday on my talk page:
Consider yourself very lucky not to have been blocked per WP:EW hit me as rather ironic considering what several editors and myself have endured for months - since June 2015 for me & as early as 2014 for others. The recent rampage at Chartres (and Welborn Griffith) could be understood only by one familiar with the disaster at the Marie Antoinette article. May I also point out that what you propose I do in case of edit warring: "raise the issue on the article's talk page" is exactly what was done at the Marie Antoinette talk page [16], action which, for months - beginning here [17], wasted a lot of editors' time & came to naught, until Flyer22 took matters into her own hands. Had the issue been brought to Chartres talk page, the battle would still be going on with single contributor (myself) fighting an army of socks for the next hundred years.
In view of the above, I personally do not consider myself very lucky not to have been blocked, but do consider that my doggedness at not abandoning the subject, at the risk of being kicked out of Wikipedia, forced the matter to finally be addressed again - under a different title, that of Chartres [18] - after it had been "archived". [19]
Finally, like Jezebel's Ponyo, I am not at all convinced that this is the end as long as anyone can open an anonymous account on en.wiki & immediately bring havoc to articles. This is not possible to do at de.wiki, where edits by new contributors must be reviewed by a veteran wiki contributor before being accepted - and the new editor has to have accomplished over 200 edits before being allowed to go non-supervised. Moreover, one fact is certain: what happened at Chartres is an obvious example of the fact that I am being stalked, as done here: [20] by [21]. What has been removed had been brought to article by me [22]. Additionally, you will notice who had contributed to article, only to be reversed. My belief is that there is a huge problem at Wikipedia and, if serious contributors are not protected, they will go away and, in the end, it might be the end of Wikipedia.
If my reason(s) for persevering at the Chartres & Welborn Griffith articles, as others and myself had done at Marie Antoinette, had condemned me, so be it: as I stated earlier somewhere, my actions were "for the good of the cause".

Mjroots …and as the person who handled most of WP:AN#How to handle a BLP violation?, would you be able to have a read over User talk:Phoenix7777#WP:BLPEL and review the revert discussed there (intentionally not directly linked to try to avoid more potential meta clean-up + revdels later if it goes in the that direction). (The link has been back on the article's Talk page for about half a day now). — Sladen ( talk) 19:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
@ Sladen: - you mean the edit on the article talk page early this morning which added nearly 1kb of text? Mjroots ( talk) 19:43, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
I will bring this issue to WP:AN later. If we cannot write a link to a news which includes BLP to the talk page, we cannot discuss even whether the inclusion of the BLP to the article is a BLP violation or not. WP:BLPNAME or WP:BLP1E says about the inclusion to article not Talk page. Also the reason WP:RD2 is hardly applicable.―― Phoenix7777 ( talk) 21:02, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
FYI. These sources include the names of victims which apparently against WP:BLPNAME if the names were included in the body of the article. If you wish to revdel, feel free to do so.
If your interpretation of the ANI discussion was that there was not enough support for a mutual IBAN between myself and John Carter, you should have specified as much in your close. I requested an interaction ban with John Carter for a number of reasons, not just to do with my talk page;John Carter accepted the proposal, and it was supported by virtually everyone else to boot. I know my request was poorly formatted and I was very long-winded in some of my responses, and if your interpretation was that this merited rejecting my request I will accept that, but this probably should have been written into your close.

Hi Mjroots, you've protected a version of this article due to move warring, but the version you've protected is not the long term stable version. Per WP:RM, normally the long term stable version should be the default if there is a dispute, unless a move request determines otherwise. In this case, the version from 21 July 2013 through to 17 September 2016 was Newcourt railway station, Exeter, so could you please move it back to there, and any users who want an alternative location can file a move request?

FWIW, I think the post made by the IP was made by someone at the seminary where I am typing this who I have been discussing various possibilities regarding a parallel Bible project on the WF and gathering together material for a still theoretical interdenominational i-phone "saint of the day" app to be maybe based at least in part of WF material. I did make the mistake of giving out my alias to one of the staff here, and mentioned one of the most problematic cases I could think of in recent times regarding the editors here. But, no problems. John Carter ( talk) 14:39, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
None of those edits are about "Japanese culture", and two out of three of them don't mention anything even remotely related to Japan -- the third was a response to a request from another user to translate something for him off-wiki. John Carter is here continuing his year-long pattern of following me around and trying to wikilawyer me into a block. Also, anyone who wants to block me based on John Carter's dubious reports of me violating a TBAN he clearly either doesn't understand or is deliberately misrepresenting should read this first.
It's also worth pointing out that John Carter just admitted to (inadvertently) engaging in meatpuppetry in order to continue his harassment of me.
I really would like to just forget about this whole incident, but ... I don't know ... if this disruption continues I guess I'll just have to draft another ANI thread.
Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 00:56, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
@Mjroots: Sorry, I just noticed this. Thank you for carefully analyzing my edits before blocking me for TBAN violations. I am not sure what the "YHM notification" refers to -- if you want clarification that I could provide I'm sure I would be happy to, as I have not done anything that would qualify as an IBAN or TBAN violation in a very long time.

Is there a reason for full protection instead of template protection, which is used on similar templates? Peter James ( talk) 09:08, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Mjroots. 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 Mjroots/Archive.
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)

Given that this sort of tagging could be seen as a bit bitey, what would you say, with your admin hat on, is the right thing to do here?

I don't think the procedural close was the right ruling there. It's clear Burning Pillar was intending to nominate every article in that category for deletion, not just the category itself. He only nominated the category itself because it would be empty (which could have been done by speedy if and when the articles were deleted.) But the fact that it was listed under the category and not one of the individual articles in the category (with the others mentioned as well and tagged properly, as they were) is not enough for a procedural close. That being said, it's clear consensus was to keep and it probably could have been SNOW-ed anyway. Smartyllama ( talk) 13:51, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

The article has been semi-protected since 2011. It has had very few incidents of vandalism so I don't think it needed to be indefinitely protected. Its risk level should be about the same as any other article of that size. What do you think? Greg ( talk) 15:10, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.Hi Mjroots,
I think you might have missed my comment at the ANI thread about this. Would you consider undoing the protection you placed on Template:New England Patriots roster? I don't think the page was receiving persistent disruptive editing, so I don't think the protection was warranted. There are a lot of IP edits to the page, and they generally seem to be constructive or at least made in good faith. If User:38.27.128.203 is making edits that are non-constructive despite being told to stop, then that IP might need to be blocked for a while, but I don't think protecting the page is the right solution.

Yo Mj, been awhile! A few points on your message to Gamaliel. 1) WP:DTTR, you know that just pisses people off/ don't be a jerk. 2) You'd taken part in the discussion, so any block would have violated WP:INVOLVED. 3) Gamaliel only made two reverts, so I'm curious to know what led to the " banhammer" threat. 4) I'm curious why you chose to only warn him and not Daniel Case or Johnuniq, while leaving this message on the former's talk page.
TL;DR: Please make sure you're upholding our administrator standards and not inadvertently spreading a chilling effect. Not cool. Thanks and cheers, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 16:31, 14 April 2018 (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 02:46, 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 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.

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)
