Sorry if this is messy or in the wrong spot, but you're probably used to this by now, and it makes sense that I'm coming here to thank you for always and without complaint, cleaning up after me, fixing formatting and grammar and spellling. You do a grea job of making my contributions actually seem worthwhile. Cheers, mate. ALso, sorry for this rushed garbled message, but I love to see people that actually care about using the language properly (although i haven't done well here in this message, hence the apology. consider this a stream of consciousness on a roll of paper, and please forgive me ;) )

Following your invitation, generally I think you have communicated well. However in your post at 12:28, 22 June 2015 you replied accusing another editor of doing stuff which they hadn't done for at least a post or two. This had the effect of winding that editor up again.

:Thanks for this feedback on the discussion at [[Talk:42nd Canadian federal election]]. I have been frustrated that his disrespectful behaviour keeps recurring. I take your point generally that it is best to let sleeping dogs lie, but in this case I was responding to his comment about conspiracy theories, which he had repeated. I should have made it clear that I was focusing on that comment and not on other issues. Regards, [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] | [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 20:25, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

== No Gun Ri ==

Hello,

Hope you're doing well. I noticed that you made an edit at [[No Gun Ri Massacre]], which has seen a very heated debate between [[User:Cjhanley|Cjhanley]] and [[User:WeldNeck|WeldNeck]] which has seethed for years. 

Part of it revolves around a sourcing dispute, namely, the credibility of the U.S. No Gun Ri Review Report, the initial AP reports (particularly the credibility of certain eyewitnesses), and of historian [[Robert Bateman]]. In general, the page has been a battleground, with frequent personal attacks, accusations of POV, bold edits against consensus, and so on, although it has calmed down as of late. It is important to note that Cjhanley is in fact one of the AP reporters who initially broke the No Gun Ri story, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; also, WeldNeck has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_65#No_Gun_Ri_and_the_AP.27s_Charles_Hanley accused] him of a conflict of interest. Both editors have compiled extensive lists of their grievances, and have dragged one another to ANI: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RRArchive226#User:WeldNeck_reported_by_User:Cjhanley_.28Result:_no_action_taken.29][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive888#Cjhanley][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive816][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive816#Attack_on_No_Gun_Ri_Massacre][https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive819#Attention_urgently_needed-Attack_on_No_Gun_Ri_Massacre] WeldNeck also attacked Cjhanley as a sock: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Cjhanley/Archive]. Neither editor is blameless, to say the least. 

For some time, I, along with [[User:Timothyjosephwood|Timothyjosephwood]], [[User:Wikimedes|Wikimedes]], and [[User:Irondome|Irondome]] have attempted to mediate, and we have successfully imposed an unofficial "freeze" on editing the page without prior proposals. While the situation is not urgent, I would appreciate any help an experienced editor such as yourself could offer. If you are interested, I can also provide some sources to provide background, although some can also be found on the page's external links category. 

Thanks very much,

Dear GroundZero,
thank you for making a swift change to the page [[Freiburger Turnerschaft von 1844]]. I appreciate your efforts in the battle against vaguery, and the explanation of "currently" as an unnecessary adverb was very helpful.

== Matthew Steen page edits ==

GroundZero,

(Sorry if I am contacting you in the wrong place, I am not sure how to do it any other way)

In the [[talk:Matthew Steen]] page you mentioned: "At the same time, SJE did remove a whole lot of referenced content."

Sort of depends on how we are defining "referenced."  Not only were there numerous passages with made up links, there were also numerous references that linked to documents unrelated to Steen.  There were also numerous instances where he cited documents that were unrelated to whatever he was trying to say.

If you can point one (or more) out to me that I messed up, I will gladly revert them.

V/r,

== Progressive Conservative leadership election, 1983 ==

I'm thinking it might be fun to submit [[Progressive Conservative leadership election, 1983]] for consideration as a good article.  Any recommendations as to what we can do to make it better? [[User:Knoper|Knoper]] ([[User talk:Knoper|talk]]) 17:26, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
:My concern is that parts of the article are written in a very journalistic style, which is not what we should be aiming for. An encyclopedia article should report the facts, rather than tell a good story. We should especially be avoiding [[journalese]]. As well, as is often the case when many people are editing the same text, some of the sentences are growing long and unwieldy as different people add bits and pieces to sentences without trying to read the result. I will take another run-though to copyedit this. Another concern is going to be that it relies heavily on the Martin, Gregg and Perlin book, which is obviously the authoritative source, but I think people don't like to see such reliance on one source. It may be necessary to go back to newspapers of the day to bump it up a bit. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 13:21, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

==Barclays Bank Canada==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English|respect national varieties of English]] in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use [[British English]]. For something related to the United States in the same way, use [[American English]]. For something related to India, use [[Indian English]]. For something related to another [[List of territorial entities where English is an official language|English-speaking country]], such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the ''original'' author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on [[User talk:2.27.75.26|my talk page]] or visit the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]]. Thank you.

:How is "Barclays Bank Canada" a British article? It was chartered in Canada and operated exclusively in Canada. This is just sloppy and heavy-handed editing on your part. Also, "license" as a verb is normally spelled with an "s" in both UK and Canadian English. "Licence" is the noun. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 01:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

::It was a subsidiary (currently a branch) of a British company operating internationally, so you cannot claim national ownership. The English Wikipedia prefers no major national variety of the language over any other. An article should not be edited simply to switch from one variety of English to another. [[Special:Contributions/2.27.75.26|2.27.75.26]] ([[User talk:2.27.75.26|talk]]) 23:13, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

I agree that Barclays Bank is a UK company. If it were acquired by Bank of America, it would remain principally a UK company, chartered in and operating in the UK, and I would oppose changing the spelling in its article to US spelling. In any event, this discussion will be resolved on the article talk pages, not on a user's talk page, do take up the discussion there.

: More importantly, I did not edit any article to switch from one variant of English to another. The edit in question was a change of "licence" as a verb to "license", which is the usual spelling in both Canada and the UK.

==Reply to "More on formatting"==

Hello, Ground Zero.

I do apologize for making these mistakes, but please understand that I did not make these mistakes to intentionally inconvenience anybody. I will do my best to avoid making mistakes such as these from this moment forward, however; you may find other mistakes that I have already made in other articles. If you do find more of my mistakes, I hope that you point them out to me so that I may fix them rather than indiscriminately undoing entire edits of mine. I will do my best to track down any mistake that I may have already made and fix it.

Thanks in advance,

== BAMN ==

Please explain how [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2016_Sacramento_riot&diff=727496626&oldid=727485541 this sentence] is misleading. Also explain how having a third-party opinion of the TWP by the Southern Poverty Law Center, but no third-party opinion of BAMN, contributes to the article's balance and neutrality. --[[Special:Contributions/50.46.239.77|50.46.239.77]] ([[User talk:50.46.239.77|talk]]) 23:09, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
*Because it isn't what the source says, and the source is from 11 years ago, which that statement doesn't mention. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 23:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
:: The source says that BAMN was discussed during a seminar on domestic terrorism, and that the seminar was dedicated to discussion of groups "thought to be involved in terrorist activities." And this is exactly what the sentence you removed said. In your reply, don't forget to address my second point about third-party opinions and neutrality. --[[Special:Contributions/50.46.239.77|50.46.239.77]] ([[User talk:50.46.239.77|talk]]) 23:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
:::And it left out the bit about the FBI acknowledging that Michigan police had information that BAMN had been peaceful, and that this was 21 years ago with no further claims of BAMN being possibly involved in terrorist activities since. When you add those bits on, you see that there is virtually nothing left to this accusation. If you can't come up with something better that this, you really have to conclude that there is nothing to it. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 23:27, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
::::You still have not addressed my second point. Also, the claim that "this was 21 years ago" (which is false, the seminar was in 2002) does nothing to invalidate the fact that the FBI had designated BAMN as a group thought to be involved in terrorist activities. Neither does your second point about the Michigan police. --[[Special:Contributions/50.46.239.77|50.46.239.77]] ([[User talk:50.46.239.77|talk]]) 23:35, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
21 years ago was a typo. It should be 14 years ago. "Designated" is the ACLU's word. The FBI did not use that word, which sounds like they are on some list of "designated organizations", which they are not. What we have is an allegation not proven by the FBI, brought into question by the Michigan Police, and the FBI has taken no further action and made no further comment for 14 years. But you wouldn't get that impression from the statement that I removed. That is why it is misleading.

The SLPC description of TWP is from October 2015, not 14 years ago, so it is current. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 23:48, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
::''And you still have not addressed my second point.'' Your claim that the FBI "has made no further comment for 14 years" needs a citation. How does this reworked paragraph sound to you? "In January 2002, officials from the FBI and Secret Service attended a symposium dedicated to issue of domestic terrorism. BAMN, along with other groups 'thought to be involved in terrorist activities,' were discussed during the meeting. The Michigan State Police, which was also in attendance, noted that BAMN's past demonstrations 'have been peaceful.'" --[[Special:Contributions/50.46.239.77|50.46.239.77]] ([[User talk:50.46.239.77|talk]]) 23:59, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
:I am assuming that the FBI had made no further comment on BAMN ''because no one has provided one''. If the FBI had, we wouldn't be spending so much time fussing over this claim from 14 years ago. What you wrote above is factually correct, but way too detailed for this article. A vague, unsubstantiated, out-of-date claim about one of the organizations doesn't belong in this article. It could be in the BAMN article, of course, and in fact something very much like it is because I put there. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 00:11, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
::I'm going to go with bold italicized text now, since italics alone didn't do it: '''''Also explain how having a third-party opinion of the TWP by the Southern Poverty Law Center, but no third-party opinion of BAMN, contributes to the article's balance and neutrality.''''' Also, the article has a section called "Participants," and a three- or four-sentence third-party description of one of the participant's history is hardly "way too detailed." Furthermore, we're not in the business of substantiating the FBI's allegation; we only report what the FBI alleged about the group. You're an administrator, so I'm shocked that you do not understand this. --[[Special:Contributions/50.46.239.77|50.46.239.77]] ([[User talk:50.46.239.77|talk]]) 00:18, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
:::Look, we report relevant information. Balance does not require us to use outdated information on one organisation just because we have recent information on another. Find something recent on BAMN if you think it is needed. What the FBI thought may have happened 14 years ago isn't enough. The articles is about something that happened this week. This is a current event, not history. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] &#124; [[User talk:Ground Zero|t]] 11:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
::::I'm going to take your continued refusal to answer my second point as a tacit admission that balance has not been achieved. In the past, you seemed to understand how Wikipedia works when the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2016_Sacramento_riot&diff=727579252&oldid=727573398 discussion focused on the TWP], but your behavior when the discussion concerns BAMN betrays your bias. I'm asking you to put your money where your mouth is and start acting like an administrator. If you find that difficult, then please extricate yourself from this dispute and go edit elsewhere. Instead of being constructive, you fling everything at the wall to see what sticks. The only thing outdated about the FBI's report is the claim the Michigan State Police made about BAMN being "peaceful." BAMN is a self-described militant organization that initiated the violence last Sunday and has been implicated in violence at many other protests. In any case, while the article may be about a recent event, the "Participants" section is intended to provide readers context, and context is achieved by discussing the participants' history and goals. The TWP was only established in January 2016; BAMN has a much longer history. You admitted that my reworked paragraph is "factually correct," but objected that it is "way too detailed." When challenged on this point, you failed to defend your objection. I have since added that reworked paragraph into the article. If you remove my edit without explanation, my attempt at dialogue will have failed and I will initiate the arbitration process.--[[Special:Contributions/50.46.239.77|50.46.239.77]] ([[User talk:50.46.239.77|talk]]) 16:16, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
This issue is not whether BSMN is violent or not. The events in Sacranentob sure that they are. The issue if whether the "terrorist" label belong in the Sacramento article. I have put it in the BAMN article. It does not belong here because of was so qualified, it is so old, and there has been nothing further on it. The FBI statement is 24 years old. Not just the Michigan Police statement. You have not been able to provide anything recent to justify the terrorist label. I have explained my position. You don't have to agree with me, but accusing me of not defending my position is ridiculous. And making threats is not a constructive way of  dealing with issues in Wikipedia.

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Ground Zero. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|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 [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|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, [[WP:ECP2016|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:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]].

== Hello, Trump, Merriam-Webster ==

First, Hi!
 
I'm a huge admirer of Wikipedia, and wish I had the time to learn the ropes and contribute.  Instead, I send a small amount of money and the occasional bit of intervention.
 
Two notes today: I quite approve of your intervention to prevent self-interested dolts adding their causes to the page on the Toronto Trump Hotel and Tower.  On the other hand, the article is now seriously out of date.  The tower is in receivership, badly managed, and the subject of multi-directional litigation. 
I hope somebody will update the article appropriately.  

Then I came to your page and found you quoting Merriam-Webster as an authority.  I'm afraid this is something that needs extreme care. If you want an American Dictionary, the best idea is always American Heritage.  Warning: I am a former editor on American Heritage magazines, same company but two floors below, and used to be friends with and an admirer of a number of their staff.
 
Merriam-Webster is the descendant of formerly great companies, Merriam and Webster, but they spent a disastrous generation in thrall to the American academic fad for demotic language.  They allowed themselves to mix up reporting on what people said and wrote with stating the commonly understood meanings of words. 
 
From about 2010 onwards they came to the conclusion that this had been a  mistake, and they have repaired their ways.  New material from Merriam-Webster is at least making the attempt to report accurately the commonly accepted meanings of words, and no longer giving equal weight to widely used solecisms.  This will eventually return them to respectability.  It will not undo the damage of the last generation's errors.

Very best wishes in your important work,
 
-dlj.

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|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 [[Special:Preferences|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 [[Help:Two-factor authentication|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.

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''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 [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|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]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

Ha!. I considered making that same edit but I thought I'd give him a chance to find a usable ref first. He's already at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Conhui]] so it's not going to make much difference. I'm not even sure if the short-lived 2013 reincarnation even belong sin this article.

== Changing Czech Republic to Czechia. ==

Per [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Czech_Republic&diff=prev&oldid=875705162&diffmode=source this edit,] what should the reaction be? I reverted it first, then undid my edit due to my unsure thinking. The links don't need to be changed, they were fine as is, and this is a controversial edit, I feel, per the current consensus on changing Czech Republic to Czechia, being that it should be automatically reverted. This user is aware of this, and has been involved in discussuons on this, yet did not use an edit summary, and marked the edit as minor. I'm confused on what the thinking is on edits like these and how to proceed. - [[User:R9tgokunks|<span style='color:black;text-shadow: 0.0em 0.0em 0.9em black'>''R9tgokunks''</span>]] [[User talk:R9tgokunks|<span style='color:black;text-shadow: 0.1em 0.1em 0.2em red'>⭕</span>]] 04:44, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Ground Zero|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give [[:Toronto Vote 2000]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into [[:2000 Toronto municipal election]]. This is known as a "[[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves|cut-and-paste move]]", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia|legally required for attribution]].  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is [[WIkipedia:Autoconfirmed|four days old and has ten edits]], you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page (the tab may be [[:File:Vector hidden move button.png|hidden in a dropdown menu]] for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]].

: All administrators are receiving it.

; What prompted you to send this message?
: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.  Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.

; What do I need to do?
: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.

== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==

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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

== Sources on Ontario election articles? ==

Hey, I was looking through some unreferenced articles and it looks like you've created many of them, such as [[1911 Ontario general election]], [[1919 Ontario general election]], etc (as {{u|Kevintoronto}}). Do you have any idea where you got this data from, when you created the articles? I've been unable to find good sources on the subject. [[User:Elliot321|Elliot321]] ([[User_talk:Elliot321|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Elliot321|contribs]]) 05:20, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
:[[User:Elliot321|Elliot321]] That was 15 years ago now, when Wikipedia was much less fussy about requiring references to reliable sources, so unfortunately I did not include the source. I expect that the information came from [https://www.elections.on.ca/en/resource-centre/elections-results.html Elections Ontario], but they have reconfigured their website, so the information  may no longer be available in the same format.

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Parti conscience universelle]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''No demonstrated notability. Short-lived political party (FR wiki page shows it's defunct) that never ran any candidates.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Parti conscience universelle|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> — [[User:Kawnhr|Kawnhr]] ([[User_talk:Kawnhr|talk]]) 23:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

== Potential threat? ==

I am here to give you a heads up on an potential threat, on the article for Omar Mateen there was a pending revision by the IP address 38.142.176.26 stating this: "(OPENLY DEGRADING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN OF MUSLIM FAITH BY STATING HOMESEXUAL TENDENCIES AND ACTS, COMPLETELY UNTRUE AND PATHETIC. CHANGE THIS IMMEDIATELY OR I WILL ATTACK WIKI AND DELETE ALL FILES.)". I am sure that this threat by the user is empty but I thought that I should go ahead and alert an admin either way just incase.

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
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 [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|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 [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|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.

== Revision deletion ==

Hello, I hope you’re doing well.

I have become a frequent editor on WP and have written several articles, but I do not have administrator rights. Yesterday I came across the edit history of [[Jeff Rupert]] and found some past edits that appeared defamatory in nature. Although they were reverted for the current revision of the article, they are still relatively accessible and contain content that highly personal and targeting in nature. SHB said that you have admin rights, so I wondered if you could delete all the revisions of that article by Rupertlover123.

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
