Undeletion reuqest
editHi Whouk. I see that you recently deleted Bendigo and District Cricket Association as an expired PROD. I think there's a good chance it's notable and think it should at least go through AfD, so am requesting undeletion of the article. Sorry I didn't catch this before you deleted it. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. No problem - now restored. Whouk (talk) 15:53, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Recent deletion of Kid's Praise! 4: Singsational Servants

2359 Media
editHey Whouk, Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Regarding the article on 2359 Media that has been deleted, I know it is because I was not able to provide any references to provide credibility for the article. I was trying to provide the references but I still do not know how to do it. But recently, I just found help to do so. I'm hoping that you can restore my article and let me add in the references. Thanks a lot and sorry again!

editHi Will - You recently deleted a page on me (Benjamin Parzybok) - stating the page did not meet the qualifications of WP:Author (lacking multiple independent substantive sources).

editRon Laura
editI was sent a email that said that you were the person who deleted the detailed information about Dr. Ron Laura, professor at University of Newcastle, Australia. The information posted was from Dr. Laura himself. It was posted by me, Dr. Fred Berman DC, who moderates his forums, Facebook and YouTube sites. I am also working with Dr. Laura on a new book. I am not a expert on the inner workings of Wikipedia so I am a bit confused why the material was deleted. It was a accurate portrait of Dr. Laura. He is a top selling author, world lecturer, and professor. Please reconsider the removal of his biography or at least explain to this Wiki novice how to reintroduce it.
Thank you,
Fred Berman DC, assistant to Dr. Ronald Laura — Preceding unsigned comment added by Overfiftylifter (talk • contribs) 22:53, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Deletion of Gliding New Zealand
editAs the creator of Gliding New Zealand I would have expected the courtesy of being notified that this was an proposed AfD. I notice from your talk page that this has occurred before. Please re-instate until we can discuss this. JMcC (talk) 13:25, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Peter Dizozza deletion
editFirst of all, I don't have a copy of my wikipedia page and now it, and all its annotations, are completely gone.. Can I at least have a copy of what was there?... I believe it is notable. I am an active composer with a long history contributing to experimental musical theater here in New York with La Mama and Theater for the New City. I am Theater Director for the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center... I think that was why I was put into Wikipedia some 8 years ago. I just wrote a new score for a production by Toby Armour and directed by George Ferencz Celebrating 25 years of Theater for the New City at its current location: "155 First Avenue." I am re-appointed Chair of the Entertainment Committee of the New York City Bar Association. I am a council member for the Lambs... Look at the shows I wrote. And I'm working on a new script and score called "The Ocean Floaters." Please communicate with me. Consider restoring the page. Thank you. Peter Dizozza [email protected], [email protected] 917-915-7635 ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.25.193 (talk) 04:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Peter. I can userfy the article for you, but for that - and ideally to communicate on here - it would help if you registered an account (or could confirm that your IP address is unchanging). As per the WP:PROD policy, any user can request the undeletion of a page so deleted - even in a case such as this where there's a clear conflict of interest, since you're the subject of the article - and I've therefore taken your message as such a request and restored the page. You should be aware, though, that the article may well end up being referred to the full articles for deletion process and possibly then deleted again. Whouk (talk) 11:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
peter dizozza achieving something notable...
editThank you, Whouk... I'll do my best to keep my artistic endeavors rising up to a level where they might be perceived as Notable... And yes, given that I constantly refer to and rely upon wikipedia pages I will create an account, and do my best to be a helpful contributor as well...
There were also wikipedia references to my musical productions "The Last Dodo," "The Eleventh Hour" and "Prepare to Meet Your Maker" that were deleted... Are those projects notable? Can I say? Yes, a person other than me should determine that, though I think that if anyone gives them consideration they'll enjoy the process and find some benefit in having done so...
I remain at your service...

Speedy removal at User:RevMegatherion
editHi. May I ask for your rationale in removing the speedy at User:RevMegatherion? From WP:CSD: "These apply to all namespaces (and so apply to articles, redirects, user pages, talk pages, files, etc.)". The user is spamming himself and his organization. A lot of OR added to boot. I did not speedy delete outright to give the user a chance to respond and other admins to take a look and make a decision. I do not understand yours. Thanks for any info. -- Alexf(talk) 12:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
deletion of Abd (Arabic)
editHi. I'm a bit unhappy about your recent deletion of Abd (Arabic). Unfortunately I missed the PROD, otherwise I would have intervened earlier. The reason given for deletion was "Wikipedia is not a dictionary and no evidence that such a word exists in the Arabic language." Well, there is not the slightest doubt that the word exists in the Arabic language and I could easily provide a wealth of sources for that. It is true that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but Abd is significant as an element in a large number of personal names, as could be seen from the inward links to the article (over 60 of them). I can't remember exactly what was in the article (as it isn't there any more), but if some improvement is need I'm willing to provide it. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 10:46, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for restoring the article. I notice that the insertion of the PROD, here, didn't have any edit summary, so people who had it on their watch-list (as I did) could easily miss it. Wikipedia:Proposed deletion says "Make sure to provide an edit summary that clearly indicates that the article has been proposed for deletion." Perhaps you would agree that the "Procedure for administrators" on that page should also say that a PROD should not be actioned unless properly flagged up in the edit summary? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 17:20, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I totally agree with what you suggest. Perhap the instructions in Wikipedia:Proposed deletion could be modified to that effect? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 21:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Q-Bah
editPage was very well documented and there were wikilinks to articles, interviews and newssites after every phrase. Dutch version on Wiki is also available. Please put it up again or tell us what specificly you missed on the wikipage, so we can add it. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.77.158.99 (talk) 21:39, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your quick reply. Yes we did. Perhaps it's better to change it to Q-Bah instead of MC Q-Bah (as Google will give out more results, and the Dutch wikipage has Q-Bah in it aswel, not MC Q-Bah). Everything else that was asked for is available and was linked in the wikiarticle: music releases, interviews and links to articles. Also, there are Q-Bah links available on Wiki EN (see articles Xzibit, Fredwreck, Low:http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=q-bah&title=Special%3ASearch ). So the article is not an orphan. Could you re-install the page and see what is really missing? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.77.158.99 (talk) 22:11, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Undeletion request
editI'd like to request undeletion of the entry on CARIS. The company has a long history and is very active, and there's a lot of information about it online (www.caris.com, for starters). Lots of mentions in hydro international, and other pubs. Also, I can provide additional info or updates if needed.

- Thanks for the fix, and for the welcome info. Full disclosure - I work at the company but have not edited the article. I would like to make the information more current and relevant but, given the COI guidelines, I should probably not edit the article myself.

Deletion of WP Symposium
editHi there,
As the producer of WP Symposium I would like ask for its re-statement.
It was remiss of me not to add 3rd party references of which there are many and I will gladly do so.
Users of WP Symposium have raised its removal as many fou d the page useful in initially understanding what the purpose of the open source WordPress plugin is (similar to BuddyPress which also has a Wikipedia page).
Could we please discuss so I can understand how I can help?

Restore deleted article
editGood morning Whouk,
About a month ago I've requested to delete an articular I wrote about Arnon Goldfinger - film director. The reason for my request was my intentions to re-write the article. Unfortunately I realized I requested to delete the wrong article. I would greatly appreciate if my original article can be restored. It was an honest mistake which caused me great grief.
I trust you to contact me if any more information is required.
Thank you in advance

DYK for Dieudonné LaMothe
editOn 12 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dieudonné LaMothe, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Haitian runner Dieudonné LaMothe said he completed the marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics in fear for his life? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dieudonné LaMothe. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

editHello! I was wondering if you (or someone) was going to list Balboa Creole French on the List of hoaxes on Wikipedia page? I'm the guy who flagged it as a hoax, so I was hoping it would get put up there as a point of Novice Wikipedia Editor Pride. (I would do it myself, but I since I'm not an admin & since the page was deleted I have no way of figuring out how long the page was up.) If there's a reason why it isn't going to be put up there, that's cool - I was just curious since I'm not privy to these high-level discussions. Thanks, & have a good one!

Fiat Totem
editHi,
I would like to re instate the page on the Fiat Totem which you deleted in 2012. I will simply use the Italian page on the Fiat Totem and google translate it initially. I will then gradually correct the English hopefully with other wikipedians help. the old translation which I used originally would have been more or less comprehensible to people who knew about cogeneration. There are no copywright issues as far as I can see.

About Springfield, Tasmania
editHi Whouk!
- 12:09, 16 August 2012 Whouk (talk | contribs) deleted page Springfield, Tasmania (Expired PROD, concern was: not a suburb, not an official locality, a few streets in Moonah with a local name. No real content so our readership will not be deprived.)
I've Wikipedia:Ignore all rules'd (which I would much prefer be called Wikipedia:Ignore one rule) and boldly re-created Springfield, Tasmania as a WP:redirect to West Moonah, Tasmania
Springfield was historically an actual suburb. When I worked in pizzeria in Moonah, I delivered a lot of pizzas there.
Fine with me if you delete it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirt58 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 7 February 2013

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
editFollowing 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.

Extended confirmed protection
editHello, Whouk. 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:
- 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 a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
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)
Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
editHello,
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.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
editHi Whouk.
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) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

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

How we will see unregistered users
editHi!
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)

Invitation to participate in a research
editHello,
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.
