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)

Hello, Stifle,
You know, my recent experiences at Deletion Review confirm to me what I have suspected about CSD G4, articles tagged and sitting in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as pages previously deleted via deletion discussion can sit there for days before there is an admin who will take action on them. It's one of the most neglected speedy deletion categories. Other CSD categories get regularly cleared out throughout the day but articles sit in this one for hours and days. There are too many potential minefields and being taken to Deletion review over what you thought was a fair decision is not a pleasant experience even when one is honest, open and forthcoming with responses.
I believe in transparency and admin accountability. But I think I'll join the other admins who avoid evaluating pages tagged CSD G4 because our judgment calls will just bring us to Deletion review. None of my other deletions on articles in other CSD categories, PRODs or AFDs have been questioned at DR so I guess I'm a decent admin but not a good judge of what qualifies as a legitimate CSD G4 tagging.
It would be helpful if you worked into your editing schedule a review of articles tagged CSD G4. They could use some attention from an admin who apparently has a keener sense of what qualifies as recreated page and is eligible for deletion and what doesn't. We could use the extra help! Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Brett Perlmutter. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Ksoze1 ( talk) 14:58, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello Stifle,
Just letting you know (respectfully) that I am requesting a deletion review of your closure of Brett Perlmutter's deletion nomination. I do believe consensus was reached, as the only account arguing to keep the page was the creator of the account themself, who has made few other edits to wikipedia other than that page. When accounting for that, consensus appeared to be for deletion, with the possible merging of select data into another page.
I requested the review without consulting you first based on you stating in your talk page that this was your preference. Thank you for your continued excellent work as an admin! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksoze1 ( talk • contribs) 14:56, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Would you consider a similar move to "no consensus" at this AfD? Your closure says that the references "have been adequately debated" but in reality, not a single argument showing why the references fail was responded to - can't describe that as a debate. On another day its possible this might have been closed with the reason that the "weight" of argument favours Delete. HighKing ++ 19:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Dear Stifle, The original concern about this article was that it was "An essentially unsourced article about an ordinary person who apparently has an article because he holds a long-extinct (indeed, by now fictitious) title of nobility."

T130439)I've read Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary, which clearly distinguishes between stubs that have the potential to become fleshed out articles and dictionary entries not suited for Wikipedia. Most editors in the deletion discussion argue that it's the former, based on reliable sources that significantly cover the topic. I don't see where that guideline encourages the deletion of stubs about notable topics that initially resemble dictionary entries.

Hi Stifle, I have undeleted King Kamehameha I Day, which you deleted in accordance with WP:CSD#G5.

Thank you for merging this entry into "Ad Astra". IMO, The distinction between the two phrases is not enough to justify two separate articles. It should be clearly identified as a distinct variant in the merged article and I am sure you will do it.
It may be too late to comment on the merge itself but what I have to add is more appropriate to the merge process itself. Specifically, I wanted to bring to your attention the link to " Ad Astra per aspera" in the Apollo_1 article which should be updated to reflect the merge when it happens.
The plaque for "the crew of Apollo 1" is seen in Armageddon (1998 film). [1] The "Dedicated to the living memory of the crew of the Apollo 1" plaque is quoted at the end of Wayne Hale's Requiem for the NASA Space Shuttle program. [2]
NASA The plaque image already appears in the Apollo_1 article but you may want to consider preserving it (with the link back to the crew of Apollo 1) in the new merged page. Many people who are too young to remember the Apollo 1 themselves still associate the phrase with space exploration having been inspired by or exposed to it through Armageddon (1998 film), notable Engineers like Wayne Hale or newer sci-Fi films like Ad_Astra_(film).

Hello, I saw your AFD closing statement in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Massacres of Azerbaijanis in Armenia in 1917–1921 and I now see your talk page notice suggesting to go to deletion review, and I'm not going to ask you to change the result here. I wanted to ask if it is possible to place the article on deletion review again, given that it was already reopened per deletion review. Support to keep that just amounts to "I see lots of footnotes so it must be well sourced" ignored all of the issues pointed out in the AFD on how most of the citations were either unreliable or said something different from the text in the article. I had hoped for an actual discussion of how much the article content [doesn't] correlate with the sources. Dallavid ( talk) 20:09, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

WP:DRV, specifically the requirement that If a speedy deletion is appealed, the closer should treat a lack of consensus as a direction to overturn the deletion, since it indicates that the deletion was not uncontroversial (which is a requirement of almost all criteria for speedy deletion).
I am requesting that this page be restored per the DRV policy, so a user can send it to AFD if so inclined, since there was not consensus to affirm the speedy deletion. Thanks!

Hello mr Stifle. You know that Hades isn't actually the god of death neither Persephone or Hermes. Just because they are underworld deities doesn't mean they are also instantly death deities and Hermes is a psychopomp not a death god.

Hello, I've not yet amassed a great deal of experience working on AfDs, though I thought one intended aspect of the process was to encourage the improvement of articles that might be worthwhile if better sourced and more fully developed. I got involved with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brittany Spanos with that in mind. Seeing the article disappear this morning while I was in the midst of working to improve it was a tad disheartening (in fact, I had just thought about adding a comment suggesting simply moving it to draftspace if no consensus emerged). The WP:DRV/WP:REFUND discussion above is over my head, however, I think that it's worth developing the article further and I'd be happy to lend a hand bringing it up to speed.

Happy adminship anniversary! Hi Stifle! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 02:17, 7 March 2024 (UTC) |
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello Stifle, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Kollel Beth HaTalmud Yehuda Fishman Institute, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to drafts, and the draft makes a clear claim of significance anyway. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 15:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
To pre-empt the inevitable requests – this article was deleted and numerous recreations and re-deletions have led to it being listed on WP:DEEPER. There is a consensus against this article existing, and a positive consensus is needed to create that page.

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)

Hello, Stifle,
You know, my recent experiences at Deletion Review confirm to me what I have suspected about CSD G4, articles tagged and sitting in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as pages previously deleted via deletion discussion can sit there for days before there is an admin who will take action on them. It's one of the most neglected speedy deletion categories. Other CSD categories get regularly cleared out throughout the day but articles sit in this one for hours and days. There are too many potential minefields and being taken to Deletion review over what you thought was a fair decision is not a pleasant experience even when one is honest, open and forthcoming with responses.
I believe in transparency and admin accountability. But I think I'll join the other admins who avoid evaluating pages tagged CSD G4 because our judgment calls will just bring us to Deletion review. None of my other deletions on articles in other CSD categories, PRODs or AFDs have been questioned at DR so I guess I'm a decent admin but not a good judge of what qualifies as a legitimate CSD G4 tagging.
It would be helpful if you worked into your editing schedule a review of articles tagged CSD G4. They could use some attention from an admin who apparently has a keener sense of what qualifies as recreated page and is eligible for deletion and what doesn't. We could use the extra help! Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Stifle,
Just letting you know (respectfully) that I am requesting a deletion review of your closure of Brett Perlmutter's deletion nomination. I do believe consensus was reached, as the only account arguing to keep the page was the creator of the account themself, who has made few other edits to wikipedia other than that page. When accounting for that, consensus appeared to be for deletion, with the possible merging of select data into another page.
I requested the review without consulting you first based on you stating in your talk page that this was your preference. Thank you for your continued excellent work as an admin! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksoze1 ( talk • contribs) 14:56, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Would you consider a similar move to "no consensus" at this AfD? Your closure says that the references "have been adequately debated" but in reality, not a single argument showing why the references fail was responded to - can't describe that as a debate.

Dear Stifle, The original concern about this article was that it was "An essentially unsourced article about an ordinary person who apparently has an article because he holds a long-extinct (indeed, by now fictitious) title of nobility."

Most editors in the deletion discussion argue that it's the former, based on reliable sources that significantly cover the topic. I don't see where that guideline encourages the deletion of stubs about notable topics that initially resemble dictionary entries.

Thank you for merging this entry into "Ad Astra". IMO, The distinction between the two phrases is not enough to justify two separate articles. It should be clearly identified as a distinct variant in the merged article and I am sure you will do it.
It may be too late to comment on the merge itself but what I have to add is more appropriate to the merge process itself. Specifically, I wanted to bring to your attention the link to " Ad Astra per aspera" in the Apollo_1 article which should be updated to reflect the merge when it happens.
The plaque for "the crew of Apollo 1" is seen in Armageddon (1998 film). [1] The "Dedicated to the living memory of the crew of the Apollo 1" plaque is quoted at the end of Wayne Hale's Requiem for the NASA Space Shuttle program. [2]
NASA The plaque image already appears in the Apollo_1 article but you may want to consider preserving it (with the link back to the crew of Apollo 1) in the new merged page. Many people who are too young to remember the Apollo 1 themselves still associate the phrase with space exploration having been inspired by or exposed to it through Armageddon (1998 film), notable Engineers like Wayne Hale or newer sci-Fi films like Ad_Astra_(film).

Hello, I saw your AFD closing statement in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Massacres of Azerbaijanis in Armenia in 1917–1921 and I now see your talk page notice suggesting to go to deletion review, and I'm not going to ask you to change the result here. I wanted to ask if it is possible to place the article on deletion review again, given that it was already reopened per deletion review. Support to keep that just amounts to "I see lots of footnotes so it must be well sourced" ignored all of the issues pointed out in the AFD on how most of the citations were either unreliable or said something different from the text in the article. I had hoped for an actual discussion of how much the article content [doesn't] correlate with the sources. Dallavid ( talk) 20:09, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

no consensus to endorse]. I would like to bring your attention to closing instructions at
WP:DRV, specifically the requirement that If a speedy deletion is appealed, the closer should treat a lack of consensus as a direction to overturn the deletion, since it indicates that the deletion was not uncontroversial (which is a requirement of almost all criteria for speedy deletion).
I am requesting that this page be restored per the DRV policy, so a user can send it to AFD if so inclined, since there was not consensus to affirm the speedy deletion. Thanks!

Hello mr Stifle. You know that Hades isn't actually the god of death neither Persephone or Hermes. Just because they are underworld deities doesn't mean they are also instantly death deities and Hermes is a psychopomp not a death god. Plus neither Apollo, Hypnos and Charon should been in death deities page because neither of them are death gods. Neither Pluto and Proserpina. Every accurate source doesn't say that those deities are death deities. 2A02:1388:2181:820E:0:0:EC2:B3DF ( talk) 15:42, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
But mr NebY always deletes my edits without thinking. He also deletes my Talking edits on his page and he doesn't care. We should do something because thats not right and not fair. 2A02:1388:2089:C8D6:0:0:19A2:A1DF ( talk) 09:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
You have deleted the page without informing me. What are the reasons of deletion. At least let me know before doing this as kind of respect for my efforts. Concerning the importance, this page is about an Algerian professional football player who plays for USM Alger who won CAF Super Cup recently. Hako33 ( talk) 22:50, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

The move of that page was contested. Back-end Wikipedia maintenance tools such as your AfD scripts are not a valid reason to reinstate a page move of an article in the main space that has been contesetd by several editors. Please revert it back to its long-term title immediately. — Amakuru ( talk) 15:08, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

I was surprised to see the closing of
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brittany Spanos. It didn't seem to me that we'd got to consensus, and the article had changed enormously since being sent to AfD (in fact, she had been mentioned and quoted on the BBC since the last AfD edit). Did you feel confident that consensus had been reached here?

Hello, I've not yet amassed a great deal of experience working on AfDs, though I thought one intended aspect of the process was to encourage the improvement of articles that might be worthwhile if better sourced and more fully developed. I got involved with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brittany Spanos with that in mind. Seeing the article disappear this morning while I was in the midst of working to improve it was a tad disheartening (in fact, I had just thought about adding a comment suggesting simply moving it to draftspace if no consensus emerged). The WP:DRV/WP:REFUND discussion above is over my head, however, I think that it's worth developing the article further and I'd be happy to lend a hand bringing it up to speed.

Happy adminship anniversary! Hi Stifle! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of your successful request for adminship. Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 02:17, 7 March 2024 (UTC) |
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello Stifle, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Kollel Beth HaTalmud Yehuda Fishman Institute, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to drafts, and the draft makes a clear claim of significance anyway. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 15:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
To pre-empt the inevitable requests – this article was deleted and numerous recreations and re-deletions have led to it being listed on WP:DEEPER. There is a consensus against this article existing, and a positive consensus is needed to create that page. If having read all the previous discussions, you believe that it is appropriate this article should exist, you need to file a new DRV. Stifle ( talk) 09:46, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I would like to request rollback rights, I have done over 500 edits and have spent lots of time patrolling the recent changes page. I would like rollback rights as I want to use tools like Huggle or AntiVandal, to speed up my process. Thanks. CCWikiMan ( talk) 09:10, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
