Hi there! I'm looking to obtain a copy of a deleted article called 'Doctor Who story chronology' that was taken off wikipedia on 14th October 2011. I've been searching for the text of this page for some time, but as I'm not an administrator, I cannot view the page (if indeed it still exists somewhere) Many thanks for your time, Josh Rogers RottingMofo ( talk) 17:17, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kieron Gillen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fear Itself ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jethro B 06:45, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Hi, Morwen. I've got limited Internet today, so if I can't respond quickly sometimes, that's the hurricane-related reason. If you're anywhere in the affected area, I hope you and yours and well and safe.
We don't do issue-by-issue plot breakdowns and by extension we don't do laundry lists of story-arc-by-story-arc plot breakdowns, which are just several-issue plots instead of single-issue plots. The basic WikiProject Comics style about this appears at WP:CMOS#PLOT and says in part:
Summarising should never be on a per-issue basis and should only outline the plot rather than describe minor details. Additionally, plot descriptions must include cited reference to critical analysis published in secondary sources. Editors should approach the discussion of fictional concepts within a "real world context"; this means editors should describe fictional elements in terms of how they relate to the real world, as fictional characters or topics.
The key thing is "must include cited reference to critical analysis published in secondary sources"; the articles Spider-Man and Superman are good examples. Obviously, not every WikiProject Comics article is up to their standard, but a great many, as you'll see, do not, in fact, have lists of story arcs with in-universe plot details. I hope this information helps. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 20:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for responding, I not sure you can equate special series with limited, most limited series have a set number of issues. Also I dont know why that other reference is there, I'll replace it with this one that says it is ongoing.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 14:02, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Another question. The talk page for the article above has many 'oversighted'/deleted edits. And some of these have my nickname next to them. It makes it look like I made a bunch of improper edits to the talk page, when I did not. All I did was add ordinary biographical stuff about his parental line, etc. I would like to know if there is any way to 'de-oversight' my particular edits to the talk page somehow? I am assuming that my edits got 'caught up' in some kind of mass-oversighting action but i cannot be sure? Thank you for any insight you can provide. Decora ( talk) 02:17, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Update Nov 9
Egads, the article is becoming a bit of a mess now. I didn't realize until just now that you started the article in 2005. Must be very odd to watch it's transformation the past few days? I notice people are figthing about whether to include denied allegations or not...(a debate i am not taking part in)... but it is interesting to me that I have seen similar arguments before about UK people articles but not about American people articles - do you think it is a cultural thing between the UK and America (i assume those are the two biggest English wiki editors?) ?

Hello, Morwen. 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 Morwen.
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)

Established
policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

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 02:58, 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)

Hi, how are you?
As you know, right now the Chris Mullin page leads directly to the basketball player, which I find a tad ridiculous, as outside of the US, hardly anyone has heard of him, and in Britain when they say Chris Mullin they clearly refer to the politician Chris Mullin (politician).
I've started a discussion on the Talk:Chris Mullin page, under the title Talk:Chris Mullin#Requested move 22 August_2020, and would really appreciate it if you could voice your piece there.

Jethro B 06:45, 21 October 2012 (UTC)Hi, Morwen. I've got limited Internet today, so if I can't respond quickly sometimes, that's the hurricane-related reason. If you're anywhere in the affected area, I hope you and yours and well and safe.
We don't do issue-by-issue plot breakdowns and by extension we don't do laundry lists of story-arc-by-story-arc plot breakdowns, which are just several-issue plots instead of single-issue plots. The basic WikiProject Comics style about this appears at WP:CMOS#PLOT and says in part:
Summarising should never be on a per-issue basis and should only outline the plot rather than describe minor details. Additionally, plot descriptions must include cited reference to critical analysis published in secondary sources. Editors should approach the discussion of fictional concepts within a "real world context"; this means editors should describe fictional elements in terms of how they relate to the real world, as fictional characters or topics.
The key thing is "must include cited reference to critical analysis published in secondary sources"; the articles Spider-Man and Superman are good examples. Obviously, not every WikiProject Comics article is up to their standard, but a great many, as you'll see, do not, in fact, have lists of story arcs with in-universe plot details. I hope this information helps. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 20:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Another question. The talk page for the article above has many 'oversighted'/deleted edits. And some of these have my nickname next to them. It makes it look like I made a bunch of improper edits to the talk page, when I did not. All I did was add ordinary biographical stuff about his parental line, etc. I would like to know if there is any way to 'de-oversight' my particular edits to the talk page somehow?

Update Nov 9
Egads, the article is becoming a bit of a mess now. I didn't realize until just now that you started the article in 2005. Must be very odd to watch it's transformation the past few days? I notice people are figthing about whether to include denied allegations or not...(a debate i am not taking part in)... but it is interesting to me that I have seen similar arguments before about UK people articles but not about American people articles - do you think it is a cultural thing between the UK and America (i assume those are the two biggest English wiki editors?) ?

Hello, Morwen. 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.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Morwen.
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)

Established
policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:58, 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)

Hi, how are you?
As you know, right now the Chris Mullin page leads directly to the basketball player, which I find a tad ridiculous, as outside of the US, hardly anyone has heard of him, and in Britain when they say Chris Mullin they clearly refer to the politician Chris Mullin (politician).
I've started a discussion on the Talk:Chris Mullin page, under the title Talk:Chris Mullin#Requested move 22 August_2020, and would really appreciate it if you could voice your piece there.
