There's plenty of vandals out there who keep making disruptive edits by adding text claiming that both CBS & NBC broadcast NBA games on CBS & NBC. Neither claim is factually correct.

The section you added on the no-confidence vote is already in the article (under "Fundraising and expansion of the university"): When international student numbers did not reach an expected increase in 2012, the university was forced to make staff redundant, in response to which 80 of the university's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences teaching staff voted on a motion of no confidence in Spence.

You placed the Toyota Camry article under the Pending Changes protection on October 13, 2017 (apparently with no specified expiration date). It seems that the article has remained under the PC protection since then. Could you please unprotect the article now? Per the WP:PCPP policy, "Indefinite PC protection should be used only in cases of severe long-term disruption," and that's not really the case here. Looking at the article's history for February-March, I don't see a few edits that were not accepted but they did not appear to have been actual vandalism. I don't think the article qualifies for PC protection now, as there is no active vandalism or BLP or copyright violations there. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 12:17, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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)

Peek at !thank for my opinion on a deletionist you may remember. I do wish that the instincts of those who have been around awhile could be appreciated more here. But the legalists will have resort only to the rules as written. I fear that information and informing have become devalued here.
But do come back, so that other voices can be heard. Shenme (talk) 21:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:03, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to Jasc Paint Shop Pro version 9.02, I can locate no record of such a version after reviewing both Jasc and Corel FTP server listings on both the Corel and archive.org websites. The last update and/or patch for version 9 on those servers is version 9.01. Did you have another source of information about an update to version 9.02?
