I have mixed feelings Justia and linking in general. I like that Justia has a lot of decisions and is free, but I don't like the ads or the formatting and I don't know if its reliable or will be there tomorrow. If we were talking about Canadian law, the choice to link to canlii would be obvious (or its counterpart in most other common law countries), but I don't think Justia or any other site (findlaw, Cornell, GoogleScholar, supremecourt.gov, etc.) is that good for US opinions. I've been talking to some of my more techni-capable friends about the possibility of doing something like what Wikipedia currently does for ISBNs; that would at least give people a choice between these options. However, as things stand, I see only marginal value in linking to any of these sites in footnotes. Given that I don't think any of the sites I mentioned are that compatible with the values of Wikipedia, I don't like the idea of propping them up with ad revenue through my or anyone else's labor (with the exception of Cornell, but they don't have any old decisions). I am more supportive of linking to these in infoboxes and external links sections than in footnotes. I do acknowledge that legal citations aren't the most accessible thing in the world to non-lawyers, and remain open to ways to improve this, but I'm not ready to external link to any of the aforementioned sites in footnotes as of yet.

Hi, Bobak,
I'm glad you took the time with DW to visit the meet-up yesterday. I was fascinated to hear about the amusement park. I've been near that lake, to visit friends, but didn't realize that there was something like that farther west than Excelsior from the Twin Cities. I've been finding new sources to add to the source lists I keep in my user space to help wikipedians source articles on the more controversial topics where I usually edit. Bopping by articles on your contributions list will always be a good way for me to have a change of pace. Keep up the good work. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk, how I edit) 21:35, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Next time you stop by SHPO I would like to talk to you about
this issue. It is quite madding to go through all the work on my end here at MHS and then have someone delete them over a year later with no debate.
VernoWhitney also attempted to delete more images on

Hi Bobak ... Since you've contributed a number of photos to National Register of Historic Places listings in Olmsted County, Minnesota, I thought you might want to be aware that a new listing was announced today ... the Bernike Family Barn at 5209 Co.

Hi Bobak,
The picture you posted of Aguinaldo and delegates in the Philippine revolution appears to be one taken much much later. Firstly, Mr. Aguinaldo appears to be older than he was in his 1898 and 1899 pictures. Likewise, the fashion of the people around him appear to be worn in the height of the American colonization of the Philippines. Unless the persons in the picture with Mr. Aguinaldo can be identified to be members of the 1898-1899 Malolos Constitutional Convention, I do not think it was taken during the Philippine revolution (note lastly that the place does not look like Barasoain church where there are existing pictures of the convention).
Just my two cents worth,

Dear Bobak,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 15:52, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Los Angeles Athletic Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mootros ( talk) 06:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bobak, you recently removed a deletion tag from Los Angeles Athletic Club. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot ( talk) 13:02, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I'm thinking of posting it on the request board to have someone make a Mandarin description, but at File:Beijing smog comparison August 2005.png is it usual to have a first person description? I think it may be better to have a shorter description written in the third person, like "Two photos taken in the same location in Beijing in August 2005. The photograph on the left was taken after it had rained for two days. The right photograph shows smog covering Beijing in what would otherwise be a sunny day." - The licensing info can be moved to a separate template that can be applied to all of your pictures.

I see you got a picture of Minnesota Correctional Facility – St. Cloud. I went there once and tried to take a picture, but a security guard came over and told me that I could not take a photo there. She was sort of apologetic about it, but she asked me to delete the photo. I think she was implying that if just anyone took a photo, inmates could use it to find a way to escape, or people on the outside could find a way to tunnel under the structure and help prisoners escape, or who knows what.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Wireless internet. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Wi-Fi. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Wi-Fi – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Gbawden ( talk) 10:52, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Sir - I noticed you changed the article Phillip Frost today. You moved the part where his whole name is given from the second paragraph to the lead. I kinda liked it the way it was and was about to revert your edit. But first I looked at your user page and see you are about ten times more experienced at Wikipedia than I am. Frost is very famous here in Miami. He is mentioned in the Miami Herald about once a day. And he is always referred to as "Phillip Frost". That's why I put his entire name later in the article. Could you say why it's better in the lead? Thanks. GroveGuy ( talk) 03:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bobak. I am referring to a very old statement you put on the discussion page of this article (it's still there). I completely agree with your first statement that the title is way too long. But not with your choice of the new title, which is still incorrect (and still way too long!). According to my wife, who is Nosrat-ed-Dowleh's grand-daughter, the correct article title should be "Firouz Nosrat-ed-Dowleh III". He was called (formally) "Nosrat-ed-Dowleh", which was his title. I went a few years ago at a small ceremony in his memory at the UNO in Geneva, and this is the name he was known by when he was ambassador of the Persian Empire at the League of Nations. The “III" refers to this title, and not to "Farman Farmaian". "Farman Farmaian" is by the way totally incorrect. His correct (more familiar) name was "Firouz Firouz". (The first "Firouz" is simply his first name). The second one is the family name he chose for himself when it became compulsory to do so. "Farman Farmaian" was the family name chosen by his father, but since Nosrat-ed-Dowleh was by this time an adult he could perfectly choose differently, which he did. All his descendants have the family name "Firouz" (he had two sons: Iradj Firouz, my wife's father, and Shahkroh Firouz, who is still alive). Finally the "Mirza" should be removed too: as we all know, this just means "Prince" in Persian. Sapphorain ( talk) 08:44, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I especially appreciated your photo of Tony Curtis because I think he's wearing a shirt with a copy of a Beatle's album cover. Here's what Curtis wrote about the album cover:
For the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, Peter [Blake] wanted lots of famous faces, so he used images of W.C. Fields, Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, and a whole slew of people, including me. Marilyn Monroe was on there too. It was particularly uplifting for me partly because I was feeling so downhearted, so upset that I wasn't getting the movies that I wanted to make. I remember that Beatles cover as an emotional oasis during a tough period in my professional life. -- Curtis, Tony. American Prince, a Memoir. With Peter Golenbock. 2008. p. 267

Not sure how much this matters to you, as it seems it's been a while since you contributed to the page, but in December 2014 an IP removed a large chunk of Mitch Mustain's article with this edit and it was never restored. The rationale for removal seems a little silly to me. Just thought I'd let you know since it looks like you were the one who had added most of that info. Even if it was a hundred years ago.

Hello, Bobak. 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.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

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 Bobak.
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)

I mostly edit NRHP articles, and while I don't know why this one in particular is on my watchlist, I noticed your edit at Milaca Municipal Hall. Good call, there is no way that the photo there is showing Streamline Moderne architecture. I see that was baked in from the 2007 creation of the article. Your edit changed text but not categories; the article could/should have a Moderne architecture category I guess (though based on the photo i am not sure it is a great example of that, so I am not choosing to put that in myself).
FYI, there has been a long-running confusion/misdirection in categories in particular i guess, from one or a number of editors' apparent lack of understanding of distinction of the types of architecture. Moderne was understood by someone to mean Streamline moderne, which was not correct; my understanding is that streamline has to involve curving shapes as in ships like the SS Normandie and buildings shaped that way e.g. Normandie Hotel (in Puerto Rico, a notable early example I think), right? Unfortunately there was a category redirect long in place (for many years...from 2015 to 2019) which changed categories. It was a category redirect, from Category:Moderne architecture, to Category:Streamline Moderne architecture (or Category:Streamline Moderne architecture in the United States actually, whether or not a place is located in the U.S.!). This caused a bot to automatically change/update categories in the articles that were in the category, i.e. implementing a mistake in many, perhaps most, cases. So I suspect that there are a lot of mistakes in the current Streamline moderne category, maybe particularly within the many U.S. subcategories, which could be addressed by reviewing their articles. Over time the articles have likely become more developed with photos and links to NRHP source documents which allows checking more easily. I'd support, maybe help in, an initiative to try to make such corrections systematically, if you'd be interested?
Anyhow, thanks and keep up your good work! Cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 16:27, 24 March 2020 (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)

Greetings, Bobak. Long time no see. Do you have time to make a photo of the Owamni restaurant at St. Anthony Falls? I also asked McGhiever and Jonathunder, and previously asked Schwerdf who was kind enough to change his license for us. I've looked through almost 2,000 images and think this one is the best quality but the photographer didn't answer my request for a free license. This might help resolve a long running dispute at Minneapolis (and if memory serves you used to contribute to WP:FOOD). Thanks either way. - SusanLesch ( talk) 17:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

I have mixed feelings Justia and linking in general. I like that Justia has a lot of decisions and is free, but I don't like the ads or the formatting and I don't know if its reliable or will be there tomorrow. If we were talking about Canadian law, the choice to link to canlii would be obvious (or its counterpart in most other common law countries), but I don't think Justia or any other site (findlaw, Cornell, GoogleScholar, supremecourt.gov, etc.) is that good for US opinions. I've been talking to some of my more techni-capable friends about the possibility of doing something like what Wikipedia currently does for ISBNs; that would at least give people a choice between these options. However, as things stand, I see only marginal value in linking to any of these sites in footnotes. Given that I don't think any of the sites I mentioned are that compatible with the values of Wikipedia, I don't like the idea of propping them up with ad revenue through my or anyone else's labor (with the exception of Cornell, but they don't have any old decisions). I am more supportive of linking to these in infoboxes and external links sections than in footnotes. I do acknowledge that legal citations aren't the most accessible thing in the world to non-lawyers, and remain open to ways to improve this, but I'm not ready to external link to any of the aforementioned sites in footnotes as of yet.

I'm glad you took the time with DW to visit the meet-up yesterday. I was fascinated to hear about the amusement park. I've been near that lake, to visit friends, but didn't realize that there was something like that farther west than Excelsior from the Twin Cities.

Hi Bobak,
The picture you posted of Aguinaldo and delegates in the Philippine revolution appears to be one taken much much later. Firstly, Mr. Aguinaldo appears to be older than he was in his 1898 and 1899 pictures. Likewise, the fashion of the people around him appear to be worn in the height of the American colonization of the Philippines. Unless the persons in the picture with Mr. Aguinaldo can be identified to be members of the 1898-1899 Malolos Constitutional Convention, I do not think it was taken during the Philippine revolution (note lastly that the place does not look like Barasoain church where there are existing pictures of the convention).
Just my two cents worth,

Dear Bobak,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Los Angeles Athletic Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mootros ( talk) 06:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bobak, you recently removed a deletion tag from Los Angeles Athletic Club. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot ( talk) 13:02, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I'm thinking of posting it on the request board to have someone make a Mandarin description, but at File:Beijing smog comparison August 2005.png is it usual to have a first person description? I think it may be better to have a shorter description written in the third person, like "Two photos taken in the same location in Beijing in August 2005. The photograph on the left was taken after it had rained for two days. The right photograph shows smog covering Beijing in what would otherwise be a sunny day." - The licensing info can be moved to a separate template that can be applied to all of your pictures.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

A tag has been placed on McGraw-Hill Construction requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. -- Alan Liefting ( talk - contribs) 05:16, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

I see you got a picture of Minnesota Correctional Facility – St. Cloud. I went there once and tried to take a picture, but a security guard came over and told me that I could not take a photo there. She was sort of apologetic about it, but she asked me to delete the photo. I think she was implying that if just anyone took a photo, inmates could use it to find a way to escape, or people on the outside could find a way to tunnel under the structure and help prisoners escape, or who knows what. I'm glad to see you were more successful than I was. -- Elkman (Elkspeak) 04:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Wireless internet. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Wi-Fi. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Wi-Fi – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Gbawden ( talk) 10:52, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Sir - I noticed you changed the article Phillip Frost today. You moved the part where his whole name is given from the second paragraph to the lead. I kinda liked it the way it was and was about to revert your edit. But first I looked at your user page and see you are about ten times more experienced at Wikipedia than I am. Frost is very famous here in Miami. He is mentioned in the Miami Herald about once a day. And he is always referred to as "Phillip Frost". That's why I put his entire name later in the article. Could you say why it's better in the lead? Thanks. GroveGuy ( talk) 03:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bobak. I am referring to a very old statement you put on the discussion page of this article (it's still there). I completely agree with your first statement that the title is way too long. But not with your choice of the new title, which is still incorrect (and still way too long!). According to my wife, who is Nosrat-ed-Dowleh's grand-daughter, the correct article title should be "Firouz Nosrat-ed-Dowleh III". He was called (formally) "Nosrat-ed-Dowleh", which was his title. I went a few years ago at a small ceremony in his memory at the UNO in Geneva, and this is the name he was known by when he was ambassador of the Persian Empire at the League of Nations. The “III" refers to this title, and not to "Farman Farmaian". "Farman Farmaian" is by the way totally incorrect. His correct (more familiar) name was "Firouz Firouz". (The first "Firouz" is simply his first name). The second one is the family name he chose for himself when it became compulsory to do so. "Farman Farmaian" was the family name chosen by his father, but since Nosrat-ed-Dowleh was by this time an adult he could perfectly choose differently, which he did. All his descendants have the family name "Firouz" (he had two sons: Iradj Firouz, my wife's father, and Shahkroh Firouz, who is still alive). Finally the "Mirza" should be removed too: as we all know, this just means "Prince" in Persian. Sapphorain ( talk) 08:44, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

I especially appreciated your photo of Tony Curtis because I think he's wearing a shirt with a copy of a Beatle's album cover. Here's what Curtis wrote about the album cover:
For the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, Peter [Blake] wanted lots of famous faces, so he used images of W.C. Fields, Karl Marx, Albert Einstein, and a whole slew of people, including me. Marilyn Monroe was on there too. It was particularly uplifting for me partly because I was feeling so downhearted, so upset that I wasn't getting the movies that I wanted to make. I remember that Beatles cover as an emotional oasis during a tough period in my professional life. -- Curtis, Tony. American Prince, a Memoir. With Peter Golenbock. 2008. p. 267

Not sure how much this matters to you, as it seems it's been a while since you contributed to the page, but in December 2014 an IP removed a large chunk of Mitch Mustain's article with this edit and it was never restored. The rationale for removal seems a little silly to me. Just thought I'd let you know since it looks like you were the one who had added most of that info. Even if it was a hundred years ago.

Hello, Bobak. 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.

mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

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 Bobak.
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)

Thanks for uploading File:Montclairsportslogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:33, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

I mostly edit NRHP articles, and while I don't know why this one in particular is on my watchlist, I noticed your edit at Milaca Municipal Hall. Good call, there is no way that the photo there is showing Streamline Moderne architecture. I see that was baked in from the 2007 creation of the article. Your edit changed text but not categories; the article could/should have a Moderne architecture category I guess (though based on the photo i am not sure it is a great example of that, so I am not choosing to put that in myself).
FYI, there has been a long-running confusion/misdirection in categories in particular i guess, from one or a number of editors' apparent lack of understanding of distinction of the types of architecture. Moderne was understood by someone to mean Streamline moderne, which was not correct; my understanding is that streamline has to involve curving shapes as in ships like the SS Normandie and buildings shaped that way e.g. Normandie Hotel (in Puerto Rico, a notable early example I think), right? Unfortunately there was a category redirect long in place (for many years...from 2015 to 2019) which changed categories. It was a category redirect, from Category:Moderne architecture, to Category:Streamline Moderne architecture (or Category:Streamline Moderne architecture in the United States actually, whether or not a place is located in the U.S.!). This caused a bot to automatically change/update categories in the articles that were in the category, i.e. implementing a mistake in many, perhaps most, cases. So I suspect that there are a lot of mistakes in the current Streamline moderne category, maybe particularly within the many U.S. subcategories, which could be addressed by reviewing their articles. Over time the articles have likely become more developed with photos and links to NRHP source documents which allows checking more easily. I'd support, maybe help in, an initiative to try to make such corrections systematically, if you'd be interested?
Anyhow, thanks and keep up your good work! Cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 16:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 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)

Greetings, Bobak. Long time no see. Do you have time to make a photo of the Owamni restaurant at St. Anthony Falls? I also asked McGhiever and Jonathunder, and previously asked Schwerdf who was kind enough to change his license for us. I've looked through almost 2,000 images and think this one is the best quality but the photographer didn't answer my request for a free license. This might help resolve a long running dispute at Minneapolis (and if memory serves you used to contribute to WP:FOOD). Thanks either way. - SusanLesch ( talk) 17:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
