Hi. You're receiving this message because you recently edited Park51. Ed Poor has proposing splitting that off part of that article to create Ground Zero controversy. We're discussing it on the talk page here and would appreciate your feedback. Raul654 (talk) 23:49, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dear ProhibitOnions,
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, 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:
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) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the article on Paul Young the singer (and guitarist) has been moved to Paul Young, wouldn't it be a good idea to move Talk:Paul Young (singer and guitarist)toTalk:Paul Young?

Hi there! I hope this doesn't annoy you, but I'd like your input. As part of his request for mentorship, I've been interviewing User:King4057, a new user who self-identifies as a paid editor. We have been discussing issues of COI and neutrality and McKinsey & Company came up. The user seems to think that edits you made on talk and to pagespace represent a bias one way or the other. I ask, because the user is relatively new and inexperienced, you forgive his characterization of you and your edits. You are under no obligation to honor that request. If you'd like to provide your input, I'd very much like to understand what was happening and what your thinking was. Here's a link to the discussion. BusterD (talk) 14:29, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're an admin; could you please act like one? Most admins I've seen on this Wikipedia do not engage in edit warring, or going against consensus. Please discuss this on the talk page, I really don't see a need to make a big deal over just one word. —Compdude123 22:49, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Puhdys1.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi - as you seem to know your way around this site, can I ask for some advice - having spent yesterday struggling to deal with another editor who repeatedly filled the article on the Olympics Opening Ceremony with inappropriate capitalisation and titles contrary to WP guidelines, I see he's spent today doing the same to another article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_sovereignty_over_Hong_Kong).

The article Tony Currenti has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

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, ProhibitOnions. 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. 17:49, 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 ProhibitOnions.
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]

I am not even sure if I am connecting to you directly the correct way.

Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#JT_Foxx I pretty much suggested deletion, but ....
Smallbones(smalltalk) 02:28, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article JT Foxx has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Severely lacking in reputable secondary sources. The article seems to be overtly promotional.
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.

Hi ProhibitOnions,
You may wish to review some of your edits to JT Foxx to understand why they were inappropriate and violated the Biographies of Living Persons policy, among others, so that you won't make those same mistakes in the future.
Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses.The use of primary sources in BLPs is limited only to where it can augment something discussed in a reliable secondary source.
better refs needed, but you should have realized that if you can't find those "better refs" for a piece of information, it can't be included in the encyclopedia at all.
I hope this helps you grasp the (admittedly complex) rules of sourcing for biographies, and I hope you understand the reason these policies are so strict: to ensure that Wikipedia articles treat living people in a fair-minded manner, eschewing tabloid sensationalism and gossip in favor of the standards of neutrality, fairness and balance found in high-quality reliable sources.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:57, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
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 required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, 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, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Get a Grip, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Digital download (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 15:48, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit surprised that you added the tag with no explanation. Template:POV is specific about this, saying ". Please also explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag, identifying specific issues that are actionable within Wikipedia's content policies." I've removed it.

Thanks for uploading File:SpectreScreenshot.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) 19:23, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Took care of one of the items on your "to do" list. BTW, did you notice there's a Polish article for Kolej Jabłonowska? All you have to do is copy the Google translation. Pkeets (talk) 05:52, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I reverted your your edit to Funnybot, because the first passage you added was not supported by a citation of a reliable, secondary source, and the citation you included with the second passage, was both a primary source and a dead link. With regard to material about the content of narrative works that is evaluative, analytical or interpretive, the source must be a secondary source, and it must explicitly mention the information in relation to the work in question. Using a written or filmed work as a primary sources to form conclusions not explicitly in that work is synthesis, which is a form of original research.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Revierderby, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Revier.

Arecently 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 subscribetothe 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)

The file File:RodloFlag.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused, superseded by File:Flag of Poland with Rodło.svg.
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 files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 09:26, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @ProhibitOnions, I see you put redirect from Chalky teeth to Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation in 2020. Sensible indeed at the time. But now there is a dedicated Chalky Teeth page. Any concerns about the redirect being removed now? You'll see I've made a comment under Talk on the redirect page: Talk:Chalky teeth
Hope this all okay, I'm a newbie on Wikipedia but keen to learn. D3Gospel 1 (talk) 11:57, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A trout for improperly redirecting an article [6] without even notifying the creator, only to see it had to be created a few days later at Davenport apartment collapse. Please follow our proper WP:AFDorWP:PROD policies in the future. - Fuzheado | Talk 10:49, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
