Hi Ritchie, thanks for your timely redirect suggestion. I've added Potted Shrimp to the list.

Musicians are really not my thing, so I'd figured I'd ask you: do you think es:Nil Moliner meets en.wiki's inclusion criteria for Musicians. YouTube randomly put one of his songs on for me last night and I've become somewhat obsessed with it (Libertad for reference... it's an earworm.)
Anyway, I was somewhat surprised we didn't have an article on an artist that looks to have at least one studio Album certified gold, and multiple singles that have been certified platinum, but I'm hardly the expert on this topic, and while my Spanish is decent enough to read through Spanish-language sourcing, figuring out what is a reliable source for a BLP of a musician is difficult enough for me in English, so somewhat out of my league here :) TonyBallioni ( talk) 17:40, 11 December 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)

Hi Richie333,
I was tasked by our CEO to edit the Wiki page as there were a few inaccuracies and a lot of missing information about the companies new history. Can I still add the sections I did (Rhodes Music Group, Rhodes MK8, Matt Pelling & Dan Goldman)? These topics are all key elements to the companies history and none of which were included in the Wiki page. I don't believe I attempted to advertise in favour of the company, I just believe all the information I put in was all key elements. How would we go about including these sections without COI?
Thank you very much and I apologise for causing any issues, I wasn't aware of these guidelines.
Thanks again, Christian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian.Dumouchel ( talk • contribs) 11:50, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Richie333,
Thank you for the very well written response. I should have done some research before going straight into an edit. At least I am fully clued up on how Wikipedia actually works.
I do need to mention that the founder of Rhodes (Harold Rhodes) gave the rights to the company to Joe Brandstetter of Rhodes Music Corporation in America, who then created the MK7. After an unsuccessful run of the MK7, Joe Brandstetter sold the rights onto Matt Pelling of Rhodes Music Group - which is what Rhodes stands as today. I strongly believe we are part of Rhodes history as we own the original rights and trademark. But maybe I'm missing a point you're making. Surely we are a part of the Rhodes story. I 100% agree that what I wrote on the Rhodes Piano page does not belong on Wikipedia as it was borderlining on advertisement. But I disagree that the information regarding new ownership and products should not be included. Legally, we ARE Rhodes. We are listed on company house as so, and we own all trademark and rights to the original brand.
In terms of emulations, there is always an argument on emulations vs the real thing. Our product IS a Rhodes, we bought the company which included all original designs and all intellectual property. We aren't copying, we are developing.
Again, apologies for causing an issue. I truly thought it would be a simple 15-minute task. I respect the skill that goes into writing these Wiki pages. I really appreciate you pointing out my error, and it won't happen again.
Thanks again, Christian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian.Dumouchel ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello Richie333,
Thank you for understanding. I largely underestimated how much actually goes into creating and editing these Wikipedia pages. As I stated on the COI board, I really wasn't aware of the guidelines.
I am glad this matter has been resolved, and I will certainly refrain from making any further blatant edits in the future.
I appreciate and respect your work throughout this matter.
Kind regards, Christian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian.Dumouchel ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

My wiki-friend, I've written a statement 5 times and deleted it before posting on the ArbCom case. I don't know why but I get deathly afraid of ArbCom. Maybe it's because they do have so much control but not really much more than the average admin and I do believe most every admin has a healthy view of their position within the community. Arbs are no different. I appreciate you recognizing my comment there. It definitely was a plea to the editor Timwi and not the admin Timwi. I don't know why it's so hard for some admins to separate themselves from it. I just didn't want to see another Rexxs and I wish I had been here to at least offer the same plea to him. I can't express how much I believe in the principle pillars/foundations of this encyclopedia and community. I don't write many idle words here if any at all. They all have purpose geared towards building the community and by that improving the encyclopedia. I believe Admins should be held to a higher standard and the community seems to agree with that. Timwi's admin actions were a problem because of how involved he was in the situation and because he couldn't separate the editor from the admin. I don't want to lose the editor Timwi but if he can't separate the two then the problem will repeat and we will lose him anyway. ArbCom has to take the case or rule by motion. I know it. I just feel for Timwi but at the same time I know his actions caused this and I believe we must protect the community and encyclopedia from admin actions like this. I'm saddened in my heart that Timwi hasn't responded because it means the potential loss of an editor, even though it is his own choice, and that might not matter to some but to me every single one of them counts for something. My hope is he returns but that hasn't been fulfilled in most cases I have read or been introduced to. Yet I still hope. -- ARose Wolf 14:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you everyone for the Christmas messages. I was a bit worried, because some friends of mine I met at a jam session on Sunday tested positive for Covid; fortunately I haven't, and I've been negative for the last few days, so I don't have to isolate away from the rest of my family, and they can all come round and spend Christmas together. Hope everyone's well and wishing you all a happy Christmas. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:26, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

I’m not sure why a 12 year old editor who should know better would call you a “wanker”, that really is tasteless, unbecoming of a senior editor, & very poor form. More puzzling is why they chose to retire despite Nosebagbear returning the perm. Very puzzling! Celestina007 ( talk) 20:47, 31 December 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)

Hi Richie333,
I was tasked by our CEO to edit the Wiki page as there were a few inaccuracies and a lot of missing information about the companies new history. Can I still add the sections I did (Rhodes Music Group, Rhodes MK8, Matt Pelling & Dan Goldman)? These topics are all key elements to the companies history and none of which were included in the Wiki page. I don't believe I attempted to advertise in favour of the company, I just believe all the information I put in was all key elements. How would we go about including these sections without COI?
Thank you very much and I apologise for causing any issues, I wasn't aware of these guidelines.
Thanks again, Christian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian.Dumouchel ( talk • contribs) 11:50, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Richie333,
Thank you for the very well written response. I should have done some research before going straight into an edit. At least I am fully clued up on how Wikipedia actually works.
I do need to mention that the founder of Rhodes (Harold Rhodes) gave the rights to the company to Joe Brandstetter of Rhodes Music Corporation in America, who then created the MK7. After an unsuccessful run of the MK7, Joe Brandstetter sold the rights onto Matt Pelling of Rhodes Music Group - which is what Rhodes stands as today. I strongly believe we are part of Rhodes history as we own the original rights and trademark. But maybe I'm missing a point you're making. Surely we are a part of the Rhodes story. I 100% agree that what I wrote on the Rhodes Piano page does not belong on Wikipedia as it was borderlining on advertisement. But I disagree that the information regarding new ownership and products should not be included. Legally, we ARE Rhodes. We are listed on company house as so, and we own all trademark and rights to the original brand.
In terms of emulations, there is always an argument on emulations vs the real thing. Our product IS a Rhodes, we bought the company which included all original designs and all intellectual property. We aren't copying, we are developing.
Again, apologies for causing an issue. I truly thought it would be a simple 15-minute task. I respect the skill that goes into writing these Wiki pages. I really appreciate you pointing out my error, and it won't happen again.
Thanks again, Christian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian.Dumouchel ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello Richie333,
Thank you for understanding. I largely underestimated how much actually goes into creating and editing these Wikipedia pages. As I stated on the COI board, I really wasn't aware of the guidelines.
I am glad this matter has been resolved, and I will certainly refrain from making any further blatant edits in the future.
I appreciate and respect your work throughout this matter.
Kind regards, Christian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian.Dumouchel ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

My wiki-friend, I've written a statement 5 times and deleted it before posting on the ArbCom case. I don't know why but I get deathly afraid of ArbCom. Maybe it's because they do have so much control but not really much more than the average admin and I do believe most every admin has a healthy view of their position within the community. Arbs are no different. I appreciate you recognizing my comment there. It definitely was a plea to the editor Timwi and not the admin Timwi. I don't know why it's so hard for some admins to separate themselves from it. I just didn't want to see another Rexxs and I wish I had been here to at least offer the same plea to him. I can't express how much I believe in the principle pillars/foundations of this encyclopedia and community. I don't write many idle words here if any at all. They all have purpose geared towards building the community and by that improving the encyclopedia. I believe Admins should be held to a higher standard and the community seems to agree with that. Timwi's admin actions were a problem because of how involved he was in the situation and because he couldn't separate the editor from the admin. I don't want to lose the editor Timwi but if he can't separate the two then the problem will repeat and we will lose him anyway. ArbCom has to take the case or rule by motion. I know it. I just feel for Timwi but at the same time I know his actions caused this and I believe we must protect the community and encyclopedia from admin actions like this. I'm saddened in my heart that Timwi hasn't responded because it means the potential loss of an editor, even though it is his own choice, and that might not matter to some but to me every single one of them counts for something. My hope is he returns but that hasn't been fulfilled in most cases I have read or been introduced to. Yet I still hope. -- ARose Wolf 14:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
