Please kidnly assist with Page restoration. The criteria for deletion according to A7 was wrong as the article did have requisite references and importance markers that showed it to be a topic/ article of interested to thousands. If you dispute the restoration kindly share the same content so that the article creator can at least make an offline article for posting by April seeing as the top subject has since broke new ground. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronshary ( talk • contribs) 09:15, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

It's coming up on 5 years since you updated the Bone section of Leptin, at which time I was in the process of a complete rewrite of the article. If you haven't taken a look at Leptin recently, I would love for you to do that and make any edits you think are appropriate: you do good work! Regards, IiKkEe ( talk) 09:25, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

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

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:44, 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.
Hello editor,
I have re-created the page at K-way as the re-direct sent it to raincoats. It appears to me you had censored the first page as it seems to have been a marketing page by a seller; I have no connection to this brand but do recognize its interest to the broader fashion group and so I recreated it neutrally. Let me know if there are issues. Thanks. Canlawtictoc ( talk) 01:23, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

In the 1980s, I was one of the founders of a U.S. based NGO that was documented as developing a new approach in democratic experiential education, Unseen America Projects, Inc. and that has various ongoing activities today though not fully active as it was at the time of its founding. The NGO produced two books by major publishers and promoted a unique approach to social science education at several universities that was documented in scholarly publications and internationally. Until mid-2018, there was a Wikipedia page for the NGO describing its history and influence, linking it to at least two other current Wikipedia pages of scholars at major universities; Kennell Jackson at Stanford and Xavier Briggs at MIT/Ford Foundation. You apparently have chosen to erase those links and all mentions of this historic NGO despite the documentation and continued published references to it. One of the books is referenced on Dr. Briggs' website but without the reference to Unseen America Projects, Inc. Erasure of this historic organization would not serve the purpose of repairing any content that would seem to be promotional since this was an established activity with an historic and documented role at several major universities and the information is simply that of historical facts. Removal would appear to represent an unwarranted attack, an attempt at revisionist history or simply a miscategorization error. If there are different views about this history, the role of an encyclopedia is to present the discussion. If there are aspects of the presentation and commentaries, your role would be to edit it. Your approach, instead, has been to replace the history in its entirety. If you are uncertain as to what constitutes history and that is worthy of documentation in Wikipedia, please take this to the overseeing editors at Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.235.1.139 ( talk) 16:07, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello, we try to create an article about the company Aquila Hotels & Resorts. We are pretty new in Wikipedia, and we try to do the article right, but as we understand after your deletion was wrong...
- The last week you delete our article as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion", maybe you right because, as I wrote above, we don't have experience. But, first of all when you delete it the article, we had not finished it.... we were constantly changing it and trying to adjust it as needed. The article was under user and not as the final title Aquila Hotels & Resorts. Second, I think that you should, as an experienced administrator, send us, first, a warning, as you do with the deletion :), but without immediate deletion...
- Now, we read articles from other similar companies like "Four Seasons" "Grecotel" "Hilton" etc, and we rewrite the Aquila Hotels & Resorts S.A. article. We will add the new article, but I ask you if you think there is something wrong with the new article, please letting us know and we will delete or changing it. We want, above all, to add the article according to Wikipedia rules, and your warnings and suggestions will be more than a welcome.
Thank you Yiannis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yiannisdsp ( talk • contribs) 10:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
"We", is because I'm working with a colleague who corrects my texts and translates my Greek text to English. Now after many reviews I upload again the article Aquila Hotels & Resorts. /info/en/?search=User:Yiannisdsp/sandbox/Aquila_Hotels_%26_Resorts In my opinion, the article looks like the other companies' articles, like the Four Season, Hilton etc... but I don't know... I will appreciate your opinion. Also, I need your advice, if the article is ok, how can I add it with the final name Aquila Hotels & Resorts?
