Hello, Mazca... I am interested in creating an article about Muck Rack, but I see that it has been deleted not too long ago, by you. I am not affiliated in any way with the various sockpuppet accounts that were stirred up related to that article, and I am not being paid by Muck Rack or anyone at all to create such an article. It's truly just from a voluntary standpoint, and to bring Muck Rack to at least parity with other Wikipedia articles about public relations databases (e.g., Vocus (software), Cision, and Agility PR Solutions). The parent company of Muck Rack (Sawhorse Media) also organizes the Shorty Awards, which does have a Wikipedia article. I am wondering if you can copy to me the wikitext of the deleted article, so that I could review what sources were included and compare them to my own sources (which include 21 Feb 2012 National Post (Toronto), a Sept 2018 Associated Press article by Joyce M. Rosenberg, mentions in PR Week, PR News, Inc., NiemanLab (of Harvard University), and others. - Hard thoughtful work ( talk) 17:51, 30 June 2021 (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. 20:06, 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)
