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 Alexf.
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 However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less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) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
There's an unblock request at User talk:Painreliefnomed, for a spamusername block that you placed. The editor seems to be willing to edit within policy (though a more detailed unblock request making that really clear would have been helpful). Although the editor linked to a web site related to the username, the change was a perfectly constructive one, replacing a dead link with a link to a live copy of the same cited source. I am inclined to unblock. Do you have any comment to make? The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 21:24, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I was just wondering why you keep deleting my entry under the page "Hyperspectral Imaging". There is a dedicated point "Software Resources" with the sub-point "Commercial Software". All software there is made by companies and all of the described software links to external pages of companies - and of course they do, because software is naturally programmed by someone and do not appear from nothing. So I'm wondering why you only delete my entry and don't delete all the other commercial software tools as well.

Hello, I just need to bring out my concerns about the loose banhammer fingers. Case I refer to is user /info/en/?search=User_talk:Hrastprogrammer While it were a self promoting in sense that the interpreter is published through a shareware lincense, but it makes no difference concidering the nature of that wikipedia page List_of_BASIC_dialects (a list full of commercial products). I don't have specific information or if there is more related, but this infinite time ban is grose if it only from that one edit in list of BASIC dialects.

You have blocked this user on the basis of his username. Moltkeplatz is a place name in the German language, and occurs in a number of contexts. the two German generals called von Moltke were, as I am certain you know, very famous in their time - and indeed, subsequently. It is not clear to me how we would interpret Wikipedia username policy in such a way as to bar the use of this name. It clearly is in no sense promotional, and the last famous von Moltke was active during the first world war, so impersonation cannot be an issue. Could I ask you to share your thoughts on this with me?-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 20:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

There is an unblock request at User talk:Blugri, for a spamusername block you placed. I have discussed the issues with the editor, and I feel that his or her latest post indicates that he or she now understands the issues, and will not edit promotionally again. I'm afraid that the combination of my messages and the editors' replies make up something of a wall of text, but perhaps you would be willing to have at least a glance at it, and give me your opinion. Personally, I am willing to unblock. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 09:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Alex,
I am not familiar with Wiki and ways to use/edit or messages. Precisely the reason why I keep away from these edits. Here is the link: /info/en/?search=User_talk:Anilatluri#January_2017 to which you responded. I seem to have inadvertently put a link to my personal site. No wrong intentions. Some one has changed the name of the personality there to read some thing else. I couldn't let it pass and do nothing about it. I thought that person would see reason. Perhaps you would be able to help me there. Or I should choose some one who is familiar with the subject, and then entrust that editing job.
Thanks for your time.

Hey I wanted to give you a heads up that I tagged PSLawNet for deletion as nearly every version of the article from the creation to now had a pretty significant copyvio.

Hi Alexf,
I'm contacting you as the page I created was deleted. I understand that the reason it was deleted is because it was found to be promotional. The content created explaining the history and setup of the company Ellp was basic information not for the purpose of advertising the company or product, but merely to use Wikipedia as a means to create a central place where all the necessary and factual information about the company can be found. I was trying to achieve something similar to the Iobit ( /info/en/?search=IObit), IFTTT ( /info/en/?search=IFTTT) and Zapier ( /info/en/?search=Zapier) pages.
If need be I have a number of sources and references that feature Ellp.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Alexf,
I am writing with regards to the deletion of entry about LightBDD framework I added yesterday to the list of unit testing frameworks for .NET languages.
At the beginning I would like to excuse if I made some silly mistake in the entry I have added - I saw the warning when I was editing the page, however I was not sure what caused it, and when I re-edited the entry, the warning did not appear again and let me to submit the changes. As I see now, there was still some issue with it.
The LightBDD is open-sourced, freely available for the .NET community (it is not commercial product), hosted publicly on Github. It is being referenced by the community on the lists of testing frameworks:
and it is being used by the community (Nuget shows the numbers of downloads here (ref removed - not an article)).
I have assumed that this wiki page is a proper place to mention LighBDD as it belongs to the same group like other frameworks listed on that page.
I see that there are already open-sourced frameworks, hosted on github (this (ref removed - not an article) is just one example here).
The entry I put about the LightBDD was purely referring to the project, it have not refer any companies using it and it contained a very brief description what it is and that it integrates with other frameworks (what is commonly mentioned in other framework entries as well (like here (ref removed - not an article))).
With regards to that, I would like to ask what made my entry to be rejected and what should I do to make it added to the list.
Best regards,

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

I'm afraid that the combination of my messages and the editors' replies make up something of a wall of text, but perhaps you would be willing to have at least a glance at it, and give me your opinion. Personally, I am willing to unblock. The editor who uses the pseudonym " JamesBWatson" ( talk) 09:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I restored your deletion of História em quadrinhos. A2 is for articles. Since it is a redirect, A2 does not apply here. Cheers, -- Tavix ( talk) 18:28, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Dear Alex, I had tried adding the name of Amritha in the list of Indian architects, i might have unknowingly offended or broke some rules in trying to do so. Can i request you to please add Amritha Ballals name to the list of Indian Architects.

Hi Alexf. Looks like I may have conflicted with you in unblocking User:Terere-gb77 - I'm perfectly happy for you to revert my edit to his talkpage and replace the unblock rationale with your own, if you wish. Yunshui 雲 水 13:34, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Alex,
I am not familiar with Wiki and ways to use/edit or messages. Precisely the reason why I keep away from these edits. Here is the link: /info/en/?search=User_talk:Anilatluri#January_2017 to which you responded. I seem to have inadvertently put a link to my personal site. No wrong intentions. Some one has changed the name of the personality there to read some thing else. I couldn't let it pass and do nothing about it. I thought that person would see reason. Perhaps you would be able to help me there. Or I should choose some one who is familiar with the subject, and then entrust that editing job.
Thanks for your time.

Hey I wanted to give you a heads up that I tagged PSLawNet for deletion as nearly every version of the article from the creation to now had a pretty significant copyvio. I also left this info on the talk page but combined with the questionable notability, I figured it was better to tag it. Please let me know if I went about it wrong!

This IP you recently blocked is blatantly trying to sockpuppet. See the linked page above for more. Snuggums ( talk / edits) 16:53, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Alex, you blocked User:JoshAtSlovakZionSynod for violation of the username policy, however he had already changed his username to personalise it the day before. I'm assuming this was in error and you might want to revisit? (I don't know the editor but am the one who warned him about the name.) Cheers, Melcous ( talk) 22:27, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

I wanted to request creation of a page on Victor Mochere, a renown Kenyan Author, blogger, scholar, influencer and entrepreneur but apparently you have protected it from creation. I would like to request you to allow the page be created. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DennisMbaro ( talk • contribs) 08:29, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

I mentioned you here re: the above draft (which wasn't a draft then). This is the same material as you deleted from the talk page earlier- as G11? O Fortuna! ...Imperatrix mundi. 17:05, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi Alexf,
I'm contacting you as the page I created was deleted. I understand that the reason it was deleted is because it was found to be promotional. The content created explaining the history and setup of the company Ellp was basic information not for the purpose of advertising the company or product, but merely to use Wikipedia as a means to create a central place where all the necessary and factual information about the company can be found. I was trying to achieve something similar to the Iobit ( /info/en/?search=IObit), IFTTT ( /info/en/?search=IFTTT) and Zapier ( /info/en/?search=Zapier) pages.
If need be I have a number of sources and references that feature Ellp.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Alexf,
I am writing with regards to the deletion of entry about LightBDD framework I added yesterday to the list of unit testing frameworks for .NET languages.
At the beginning I would like to excuse if I made some silly mistake in the entry I have added - I saw the warning when I was editing the page, however I was not sure what caused it, and when I re-edited the entry, the warning did not appear again and let me to submit the changes. As I see now, there was still some issue with it.
The LightBDD is open-sourced, freely available for the .NET community (it is not commercial product), hosted publicly on Github. It is being referenced by the community on the lists of testing frameworks:
and it is being used by the community (Nuget shows the numbers of downloads here (ref removed - not an article)).
I have assumed that this wiki page is a proper place to mention LighBDD as it belongs to the same group like other frameworks listed on that page.
I see that there are already open-sourced frameworks, hosted on github (this (ref removed - not an article) is just one example here).
The entry I put about the LightBDD was purely referring to the project, it have not refer any companies using it and it contained a very brief description what it is and that it integrates with other frameworks (what is commonly mentioned in other framework entries as well (like here (ref removed - not an article))).
With regards to that, I would like to ask what made my entry to be rejected and what should I do to make it added to the list.
Best regards,

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) & MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 07:23, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
