Hi there! I was wondering if this was at all necessary. I seem to remember there being some guideline or suggestion on redirects that aren't double redirs, broken links, or result from dab pages to the effect of "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." Specifically, in the case of the botanist author abbreviations, there are tons of redirects of this kind. I'm happy that they direct to the article, but it seems like wasted effort when the redirect is valid anyway. If we're just going to have a bot come along and fix valid redirects in articles, what's the point of having them? I suppose my main complaint is that it's making a mess of my watchlist ;-) Something with which I can cope. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 01:43, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

P.S. My apologies for spamming your watchlist. You're right that it's not necessary to avoid these redirects. Gdr 23:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I had some time and, as odd as it sounds, enjoy the tedious edits required to fix those pages. I must also thank you for checking all of those names and adding the authorities. I should have not assumed all were correct. It seems as if Cottonapple4 has taken a hiatus. If the user returns, I'll be interested to learn where he/she was getting his/her information from. I do wish there was a little more substance to the articles, but they'll be expanded in time. Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 21:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I noticed the good work you did on relinking Augustine > Augustine of Hippo. Could you do the same job for the links that point to Origen and should instead link to Origen of Alexandria?

Thanks. Keep up the good work. --Dampinograaf (talk) 00:25, 4 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

No, Origen is clearly a case for Wikipedia:Primary topic disambiguation, i.e. Origen points to Origen of Alexandria, with any disambiguation (if necessary) at Origen (disambiguation). This is because there's only one Origen of any note. In the case of Augustine there are two notable men with that name: Augustine of Hippo and Augustine of Canterbury, although the former is sufficiently more notable that there is an arguable case for primary topic disambiguation there too.

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:23 BC births]] to articles/categories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{db-author}}.

Do you think as I suggested here some of the images you have uploaded qualify for crown copyright, and are thus now in the public domain?

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 23:12, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

David Page, the guy who runs navyphotos.co.uk wrote this explanation for how the photos were acquired. In most cases, he does not know who took the photo or who owns the copyright. So some of them may be Crown copyright, but no-one knows for sure. David Page gave permission in e-mail for Wikipedia to use the photos (this only has relevance should any copyright subsist in him, which it probably doesn't). There used to be a template on all images from navyphotos.co.uk that explained some of this, I think, but it was deleted. Gdr 23:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dear Gdr,

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 communityHERE, where 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:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

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 nameHERE 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,

Hello Gdr,

I am working on the Linck family on fr:wikipedia, fr:Heinrich Linck and fr:Johann Heinrich Linck. The French page of the second seems to be a translation of the page you created in English. You mention five years ago that Johann Heinrich Linck] made contributions to the natural history of fishes. I don't find any information about that activity in his biography [1] and I cannot acceed the references you cite. Could you provide me a reference ?

Thanks, Cymbella (talk) 22:33, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think I must have got confused between J. H. Linck and H. F. Linck. Many apologies. I'll remove the claim. Gdr 14:18, 28 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much. I have now a second question : are Heinr. Fr. Linck (the author of "Versuch einer Eintheilung der Fische nach den Zähnen", Magazin für das Neueste aus der Physik und Naturgeschichte, 6.Bd.,3.St., 1790, p. 28-38 [2]) and Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link the same person ? Did the botanist Link also studied fishes ? I could not find any mention of that, but I notice that Mag. Neueste Phys. Naturgesch. is published in Göttingen, where Link was student in 1789 [3]. - Regards, Cymbella (talk) 19:58, 28 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

 

The article Reverse lookup has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Neologism

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The small area that contains the arrow pointed toward Izyum is for the 2nd Battle of Kharkov and Operation Fredericus that occurred in May 1942. It probably should be given a different color to show that it wasn't part of Fall Blau.

Dear GDR,

I am not sure who the originator of this common file really is, but the file info says you were the original "en" poster. It seems to me there is a problem with the branch "hominini" as it includes Pan. One of the English article references HOMINIDAE – African Great Apes which definitely does not include Pan under hominini tribe.

I want to use it in a Thai translation of the "Human evolution", but I am not sure how I should proceed to perhaps "correct" the problem, but right now I am thinking of creating another image separately. If you could help, however, all the articles referencing the image will be corrected too.

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).

Thanks for uploading File:HMS Sheffield (D80).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:31, 27 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

 

A tag has been placed on Clark Russell 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 person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~ NottNott talk|contrib 18:12, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

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 Gdr.

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)Reply

  Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello Gdr,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged HMS Grenade for deletion. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an unnecessary disambiguation page.

If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

The article Battles of Trenton and Princeton has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Kind of an unnecessary little article/pseudo-disambiguation page. We have lengthy, high-quality articles on each of these two engagements, there's not much point having a whole separate article just to say "hey these two battles that took place a year apart were notable successes for George Washington"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 12:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Dear Gdr. I apologise for not having consulted you earlier about changes I implemented somewhat too boldly concerning the numbering of the last two Earls of Desmond (of the 1st creation). I saw only today that you explained the numbering problem in the article Earl of Desmond on 26 April 2006. I acted boldly because I noticed that Wikipedia had a gap in the numbering between the two 12th earls (de jure and de facto) and the 14th earl. I also saw that while DBN numbers Gerald Fitzgerald as 15th, ODBN (2004) numbers him as the 14th. So I decided to follow ODBN and renumber Gerald the 15th -> 14th and by consequence James the 14th -> 13th. I am still busy cleaning up the consequences as these earls (especially Gerald, the "rebel earl") are mentioned in many places. I see you are a busy man. Don't waste your time if you feel my renumbering is acceptable. However, any comments from you would surely be appreciated.

A tag has been placed on Category:Elassomatoidei indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:38, 19 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

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 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 Meta page and view its privacy statement .

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

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
