Thanks Audacity for the barnstar. I think you've done a great job with the portal. I'm pretty technically challenged but I think I can take on a small part and help keep at least the FAC section updated. Anything else I can do for FP let me know. Cricket02 03:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'll take a look at the CSS, clean it up as best I can and make it vertically minimal yet still readable :-) I'll try to get it done soon. Thanks! trisweb (Talk) 18:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations, you are now an administrator - with pretty much unanimous support! If you haven't already, now is the time look through the Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide and Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or at the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Warofdreams talk 12:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar and the wolfs! (One of these days I'll put one of 'em on my user page ;-) ). One thing, is intentional that the barnstar is without your name, only the date? «Snowolf How can I help?» 00:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Since your username is Audacity, does that mean your created the program? Or do you just enjoy using it? --The Juggla 13:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I came around here because you seem to be avery established user (you even have a badge) and I thought you might be able to help me find an admin, only to find that you are an admin. I was looking for some help on the Zutara article. It's an article about a ship in a TV show. By definition almost it cannot pass WP:V and its impossible to discuss the matter in a way that is not in-universe. I nominated it for deletion, but it was turned into a redirect to an article about a character in the show. Anyway, I've read that admins can simply delete articles. So, that's basically what I was looking for Millancad 22:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence | ||
I'm awarding you this barnstar of diligence for your combination of extraordinary scrutiny, precision and community service to wikipedia. Wikidudeman (talk) 15:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC) |
Thanks. Λυδαcιτγ 00:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
My apologies. I was unaware of how the authentication was done (Blithering newbie as I am). When I find a printed reference, I'll include it. Thanks for your diligence. Unidyne 01:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the "instruction creep" reminder, even though I am frequently irritated by a few of the artful signatures that seem to shout "Look at me! look at me." (That is my problem, however, and not a reason to make a community rule.) I did want to know how we, as a community, can address the point or control it without making a rule; that is, unless the matter is left to persoanl choice, how can the "community" make its wish (to the extent that there is a consensus in the matter which is, I predict, unlikely) known without making a rule? Thank you for considering this question. While it follows from the approach you suggested at the Village Pump/Proposals, I don't feel its answer is relevant to anyone but me. If you disgaree, please feel free to copy this question and any response you may make, to the appropriate place in the discussion. Bielle 17:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the information. I have amended my comment on the Village Pump page, giving credit where due. Bielle 19:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up. I get this is what I get for explaining why I felt consensus was the way I felt it was. Cheers, WilyD 00:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, articles should not be moved, as you did to Colorado Springs, Colorado, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Note: Your opinion dosen't override Wikipedia policy. see WP:NC:CITY. WP:NC:CITY also overrides WP:MOS. Feel free to move the page back yourself, or another Admin can make the final decision.

Hi Audacity,
I've come over the term German Virgin several times, as well on-line as in real play. This is why I chose to submit it. I should have included a link off the bat, sorry for that.
I looked a bit further and found some other references, the main ones are: http://www.betyouraces.com/24.html and the German version of wikipedia, funily enough...
I will not submit it again, to avoid clogging up the edit page. I'll leave it up to you to include the term or not.
Thanks, Nol 83.83.78.182 00:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Note that there are images like Image:Jackiedeshannon.jpg which want to transclude the "Purpose" text to expand on a non-standard "Use". Your changes just broke this. Twice. Jheald 18:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
The last few edits have broken the "Infobox" use, which is mission-critical. Can I suggest Template:Album cover fur/development for test versions? Jheald 19:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I still prefer my last version, with the user-expanded "purpose" added after the first two sentences, or after the boilerplate for a standard "use". What was your issue with this? Jheald 19:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
How do you become an administrator, and what do they actually do?

While I would agree that with those postings I am promoting a website, it is a wiki project, and I believe directly relevant to the pages I have posted them on. I have not posted them on article pages, only talk pages, where people can discuss things and I don't see what's wrong with it. As I say, it is a relevant and worthwhile wiki project that obviously I cannot do by myself. It needs more people to help, and the most effective way to let people know about something they may be interested in, in my opinion is what I've done. DMajj 11:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
You gave the edit summary: rv: page didn't even load for me

What "plenty of reasons?" That 78% of U.S. cities require dabbing? So what? A high percentage of films require dabbing too, that doesn't mean we dab all films. What other reasons? --Serge 01:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't get it, none of those "reasons" are unique to cities. They are just as true for any other article. I don't get it. --Serge 04:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, at least Scott admits that he thinks cities SHOULD be treated differently from how other articles are currently treated, and even goes so far as to say that many other articles should be treated the way he thinks cities should be treated. But most of the other defenders of the comma predab convention don't even seem to acknowledge, or perhaps even recognize, the significance of all this. So it's hard to agree to disagree with them. --Serge 05:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Image:CocaColaHiddenPicture.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Hi Audacity,
You're familiar with SA's actions on my talk page. They certainly seemed like vandalism at the time (espc since the thing is not a personal attack on anyone), but now reading WP:VANDAL I'm not sure whether or not it meets the technical definition- mainly because technically SA could have really believed that was a personal attack. On the other hand, looking at the whole situation, maybe one would have to be quite a wikilawyer to say it wasn't vandalism. I'm being asked to offer him an apology for calling him a vandal. What do you think? ——Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 22:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Audacity. A new lesson on templates has been written for the Virtual Classroom. It needs some advanced template users/designers to look at it before it goes live (that is, before I announce it all over the place). I was hoping you would take a look at it: User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Scartol, on Template use and design. I hope to see you there.

Political hip hop, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Political hip hop satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Political hip hop and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Political hip hop during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Audacity, FYI on the "codes" and primary sources as editors, please review this characterization of the WRR authors from Brendan's partner in MBBK, psychologist and MBBK co-author Maya Bar Hillel. Please consider Brendan's complaints of "bias" in the context of MBBK's own "bias", especially as Bar Hillel is on record as saying (from my memory) "it does not matter what evidence is presented, I do not and will not believe it". Editor Brendan McKay comes with a highly biased POV and a severe WP:COI, and the recent tags added to the article are already problematic. Please keep the article on your watchlist. WNDL42 (talk) 13:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:Month-3 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
Audacity, appreciate your attention to the matter, but you are acting too quickly in response to a primary source's complaints.
(1) Please remember that the "other side" is not represented here. I am in the process of contacting through private e-mail some 'semi-disinterested' parties to comment on Brendan's complaints. His issues are important and deserve consideration, but my extensive (10 year) research history in the topic leads me to the considered opinion that they are mostly baseless.
(2) McKay's POV is highly biased and does significant "harm" to the WRR editors, if the article continues to be a coat rack for McKay, as it has been since McKay himself created the article. As McKay is the "attacker" of WRR authors, his POV needs very careful scrutiny. The most important BLP considerations here are protecting the WRR authors from additional damage, under the "do no harm" clause.
(3) Brendan's vague complaints about a "POV" he does not care for do not justify the extensive edits and content removal you performed. His specific complaint can be dealt with by changing three words. His further specific complaints (should he cite any) can be dealt with similarly.
I am well researched and well connected on the topic, I'd ask you allow me to lead this, if you will be so kind. WNDL42 (talk) 16:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the Hennessy Viper amongst others from this list as I dont think they are suitable as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_superlatives - as the editor who put the Hennessy in there, I thought it would be polite if I informed you of my edit. I am not doubting the Hennessy's ability to get from 0-60 in the stated time, I just dont think it is a true production car as per wikipedias guidelines, however I am interested in your opinion in this matter.Sennen goroshi (talk) 14:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:CocaColaHiddenPicture.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

You know, Audacity, you spend too much time staring at Axolotl eggs and not enough time mopping. ;) Nice to finally meet you in your glorious online janitor persona. I can't wait for my RfA so I can be an internet janitor, too. Until this post comes back to haunt me at said RfA, at which point the universe will explode with irony, but not before scoring me about 15 opposes. I do feel like an idiot that I had to ask what your username was and didn't just search for your IRL name when you mentioned you were a wikipedian. I did search for people transcluding {{User StJohnsUS}}, or in category [[Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: St. John's College, U.S.]], but you used a nice, convienent bullet point to prevent either of those awesome versions of my let-me-find-him-by-looking-for-admins-from-st-johns idea from working. My only other idea was to go through all 1,800 admins with Mr. Randi, a nun with a ruler, and a dowser, and I wasn't sure whether that would score any useful hits or just fun ones.

Dear Audacity,
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,
New England Wikimedia General Meeting | ||
---|---|---|
The New England Wikimedia General Meeting will be a large-scale meetup of all Wikimedians (and friends) from the New England area in order to discuss regional coordination and possible formalization of our community (i.e., a chapter). Come hang out with other Wikimedians, learn more about ongoing activities, and help plan for the future!

Since you are an active participant in the Rational Skepticism WikiProject, would you mind looking over the Wikipedia entry on Theosophy to see if you find any concerns?
I've been ordered to fix the page so that it accords with my understanding of the NPOV policy. I'm happy to do that but I have a lot of work at my job.
Now I've been told that I must make the changes by April 30th or the NPOV tag will be removed. I simply can't learn how to use Wikipedia as a newcomer, become familiar with all the sources, and make the edits if I must do it all by April 30th.
Would you look over the Theosophy page? Also, can you recommend anything? Thanks much,Factseducado (talk) 15:31, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Audacity, thanks for the cleanup of LLDM talk page, that talk page has grown incredibly large (and is still growing). Is there an easy way to solve this problem, like by archiving it or through some other method?
Also, I was hoping that my new section "Proposed Revisions" be followed by its respective subsections: controversial content, membership numbers,"The LDM" vs "LLDM". I feel it would be easier to keep track if they're presented as subsections the way you did ithere. Let me know what you think.

Hi, I do hope that you have taken an interest in editing the LLDM article. We do need more editors for it even if they don't know Spanish. Please continue to frequent the talk page and the article with your edits and input. Thank you. Fordx12 (talk) 15:06, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Since you saw his post in the Luz Del Mundo talk page I think I'll ask you this question.
I am starting to feel very uncomforatable with the personal attacks RobertRosen keeps throwing at me. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard&diff=522992379&oldid=522992245 That link is to the dispute resolution where he has edited his original s the Teahouse, but seeing as he has attacked an editor from there who helped me out, I'd rather not drag others into this in case he does the same to them. What should I do? I feel like he is trying to chase me away from editing Wikipedia. Fordx12 (talk) 15:32, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Atomic theory, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Void (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Audacity, no need to respond. I just wanted to leave a quick note to let you know I’ve thoroughly studied Help:Minor edit and was going to go back and correct all of my “minor” mistakes (wow those m’s now stick out like a sore thumb!). Upon further reflection, because there are so many, I’m afraid I may do more harm than good. I now realize how do it correctly. Again, I appreciate your help because the quicker I can look like a decent editor the better! I’m now moving on to more closely study MOS! I’ve ordered an excellent book about the article Paul Lir Alexander (previously mentioned) because I’m interested in the subject and there are few and sketchy resources online. I can hardly wait to get to it! My best.Albeit27 (talk) 23:44, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Last month you settled a dispute on La Luz del Mundo with this edit. However, the matter has been brought up again by RidjalA. The editor insists on introducing an unnecessary quote to bypass wiki policies, and because the "Pro-LLDM lobby especially hates this one". Furthermore the editor appears to be instigating an edit war since he looks "forward to another edit war". Also please have a look at the two new sections in the talk page Talk:La_Luz_del_Mundo#Overhauling_the_Discrimination_section_for_undo_weight_and_notability and Talk:La_Luz_del_Mundo#Undue_Weight_in_the_.22Silver_Wolf_Ranch.22_subsection.

Hi,
I realize that you were paying me a compliment. At the same time, I looked at your userpage and found some things with which I staunchly disagree. So let me start with a question: do you believe that the damage done by affirmative action policies (putatively, "reverse discrimination") is, overall, lesser or greater in real terms (outcomes so far) than that done by racism? -- UseTheCommandLine (talk) 05:18, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.

I saw you removed images from "Paul Finch" with this edit per WP:NFCC#8. One of the images you removed has been re-added with this edit . I'm not really sure what to do here. I've been trying to discuss things in good faith with this editor on their user talk page, the article's talk page and at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#Wikipedia - what is it good for?, but have not been having very much luck so far. I've tried informing them of various Wikipedia policies and guidelines that are relevant to the edits being made, but it seems as those explanations are falling upon deaf ears. I believe this editor is not intentionally trying to be disruptive, but that is the direction things appear to be heading. I don't want to come off as biting a newbie, but I beginning to feel that a stronger approach might be warranted. Any suggestions on how best to proceed without creating any more drama than necessary? Thank you in advance - Marchjuly (talk) 11:50, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Revolution 9 backwards.ogg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:50, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

A newbie created Vision for learning using wikimedia, a sweet, naive version of Wikimedia + WP:Welcome. I've welcomed them, and I'd like to make the article's deletion (under WP:A10) as un-bitey as possible. You seem to be a gentle-mouthed admin, so I wanted to ask for your help. Proceed as you see fit. FourViolas (talk) 13:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Now that I've bothered you, could I have an expert opinion on my behavior at Revolution 60 on February 4th? I'm pretty sure DivineAlpha and I were within our WP:3RRNO rights, but I'd like your thoughts. FourViolas (talk) 14:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
So perhaps you could work this out without too much biting or bruising. Basically, it looks like a group of academics (led by one in particular?) has been editing constructively, and also writing a big OR paper ([high-quality WP:NOTESSAY stuff) about charter schools and socioeconomic factors in education. (these are live, contentious issues in US education-policy circles, teachers' unions, etc.)
I'm asking you to use magic admin wisdom to 1) make the unencyclopedic content go away, while 2) making sure the authors have a copy saved somewhere and 3) managing to avoid making them hate Wikipedia, and maybe even 4) recruiting an expert or two.
Thanks a lot! FourViolas (talk) 03:26, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
The Learning-Disadvantage Gap report at first inspection may incorrectly seem like a document of original concepts, especially by someone not immersed in the convoluted world of educational standardized high-stakes testing systems in use today, and the growing movement in opposition to it, but in fact it is not. The anti-standardized high-stakes testing movement is not my own. I am but a pawn in the movement. The Learning-Disadvantage Gap is a collection of original articles and studies that I have accumulated over the past five and a half years from reliable separately published articles not yet compiled in a format easily accessible to the public. Not even the Learning-Disadvantage Gap words and concept is original, as I have borrowed from references as well.
To clear up any possible misunderstanding, the Gap is compiled and written exclusively by myself with technical assistance by my staff. The name, Music Teacher’s Club, is just that, a name, and this is my very first proposed entry to Wikipedia. I am the owner of a music store, Johnny Thompson Music.com, and chair of Parents and Students for Music and Arts aka AllArtsAllKids.org.
Having studied Wikipedia policies I believe the Gap avoids cherry-picking of reference articles in a negative sense and synthesis of combining separate ideas to reach any conclusions. Actually, the report does not reach conclusions other that what is from any of the two hundred plus references. All two hundred plus references are interconnected by one goal: educational equality for all.
I do not pick references that agree with my personal view, rather, I learn first from each and every reference before I report on it. I am the student and messenger, not the teacher. That said, the report may be the first of its kind that combines original works of others that I am aware of.
This is a neutral report which includes reporting on current educational inequities and non-compliances of statutory and education laws by the United States Department of Education.
The collection of two hundred plus references to the Gap consists of works by U.S. Department of Education, K-12 teachers, principals, and district superintendents, university professors and studies, parents and students, civil rights groups, court cases, constitutional attorneys, statistical groups, arts advocacy groups, and more. Just one reference alone includes a list of five hundred plus university professors who as a group are petitioning the U.S. Department of Education specifically to stop test-focused reforms particularly NCLB (No Child Left Behind).
Although written by a potpourri of writers, each with their own expressed views, the goal of each and every reference, and within the stop high-stakes testing movement in general, is equal learning-opportunities for the disadvantaged and all students in America, without regard to their socio-economic and academic standings.
The Learning-Disadvantage Gap, and in fact big Gov’s standardized high-stakes testing, is not generally known by the American public. The national mainstream media has yet to cover the movement and to spark a national debate. That said, there is a substantial and growing grassroots movement, starting on the East Coast, that has tens of thousands of students “opting out” of March and April NCLB, Common Core, and other state test-based no-excuses high-stakes yearly testing. I will mention at this point that my group, Parents and Students for Music and Arts, has a twitter account and am proud to report that the largest independent anti-high-stakes testing group of teachers follows us on Twitter.
I consider this Wikipedia report, an honor should it be accepted, a very much needed public service article. It is my plan to continue upgrading quite often. Currently, we are doing so almost daily. I believe it to be a wonderful venue for educating people on the subject with limited time to invest. Also I believe it is so important that parents of economic and academic disadvantaged kids have a source to learn from that offers hope. The Gap welcomes contributions as well as other points of view from Wikipedia’s very large at-large contributing public editors. We are looking forward to having an active Wikipedia article.

Thank you for uploading File:Sergei Lemeshev cropped.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello, Audacity. 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.

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 Audacity.
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)

I reverted your change on the above topic, as acids are not med that way. It would have to have been hydrogen oxaloacetate. The oxaloacetate would be used for salts or esters.JSR (talk) 18:50, 30 March 2017 (UTC)a

Hi! I just came across your personal page, and some information there struck me as inappropriate. It seems to me that referring to other editors by name and mentioning their relationships while they don't mention any personal details on their pages is a form of outing. I am quite surprised that you as administrator did not notice or care. I hope it is just an oversight. Retimuko (talk) 18:53, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
