Thanks for thinking of me as somebody who would have a legitimate chance to pass at RFA. In the past, I've felt a bit intimidated by the atmosphere there, and was worried about being able to answer questions in a timely fashion; I mentioned my college work as a factor to another user in the past. That's been over with for a while, but I'll have real-life work occupying my attention for the next several months, so any attempt at RFA will have to wait. In the past, I haven't felt any need for the tools, but there have been a few incidents recently that have made me reconsider things. The recent request is one such instance; another came recently when a user asked me to change the TFL blurb on Main Page day, which I couldn't do without the bit. It was a bit frustrating to not be able to help upon being asked. I'm reaching a point where I'd be willing to consider a run in the future, and I plan on monitoring a couple of areas. First, I know of a major content creator who is setting up an RFA. I want to see how the community reacts to her run (she hasn't been involved in admin tasks as far as I know), as a guide to how a straight content contributor will be thought off. Also, I'd like to see if WP:ERRORS continues to be busy, as that is an area where I could make use of the tools. Anyway, I'll think about it, which is more than I could have said in the past.

Hi Grondemar. I just wanted to let you know I temporarily removed your support at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ealdgyth. As the RfA hasn't yet been transcluded, it isn't open for !votes. As soon as the RfA goes live, I'll ping you again to remind you to re-add your vote. Special:PermaLink/756335952 contains the text so you can easily copy-paste it. Cheers! ~ Rob13Talk 15:24, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Grondemar, just a friendly reminder that you still need to get back to this GA review you opened but have yet to complete. Please give it priority; it's been waiting a few weeks. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:36, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I just written the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueClosure_BC_Detect_-_JavaScript_Security
1st question) Yes I'm involved on this project but I do not understand: when a person create a user on wikipedia you do not require ID Card, so my idea was to put my name and surname to be transparent. I feel that an editor will review it before the publishing.
2nd question) I wrote the article with the idea that an editor will review it and will modify the not suitable content. I'm contributing in OWASP Wiki from 2005 and it works in this way generally. So I have to write an article and you should say pass or not?
3rd question) Why do you delete also my entry for BlueClosure here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis#JavaScript
4th question) I see many articles written by the authors of the new idea, project but they are not deleted. What is the difference? For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_AppScan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burp_suite
May you help me to modify in a correct manner the page?
Thanks for your answer, Matteo

@Matteo.meucci: Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. To answer your questions:
Let me know if I can be of further assistance. –Grondemar 06:03, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
On 24 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of Connecticut Huskies head football coaches, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Randy Edsall, UConn football's all-time leader in games coached and wins as a head coach, was re-hired for 2017 after an absence of six seasons? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of Connecticut Huskies head football coaches. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, List of Connecticut Huskies head football coaches), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Template:Fuck off. Since you had some involvement with the Template:Fuck off redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. ~ Rob13Talk 08:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
hey Grandemar
can you please help me understand why you deleted the page Front Porch Realty Austin.
I don't understand..
That1don (talk) 00:17, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for saving the drafted article, which was targeted for deletion, to User:Grondemar/Drafts/The Middletown Press. I just made a couple minor changes and moved it to mainspace, at The Middletown Press, where it was for several weeks. Perhaps/probably I should have checked with you first, about your plans. If you'd like to move it back to your space or draft space and develop it more there, that would be fine by me, just as long as it is not going to be forgotten like I forgot about it before. Otherwise it's best for an article to be out there getting attention in mainspace. I don't know why i didn't get it out there long ago. cheers, --doncram 03:31, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Grondemar. I just wanted to let you know that the page IFK Uppsala is an article, not a disambiguation page. The best way to tell a dab page is to look for the {{disambig}} template at the bottom of the page. Also, dab pages should not have navboxes, infoboxes, images, references, or external links on them. With this in mind, would you please reconsider this decision? Thanks! — Gorthian (talk) 04:25, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2017).
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:
The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.
So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi, Grondemar. I'm just posting to let you know that Huskies of Honor – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for April 3. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 01:23, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, 10 days ago you created a GA review page for the article A5758 road, but a review has not yet been done which I expected it would have by now (for a small article). Can you advise if you're still prepared to do this? Bungle (talk • contribs) 19:44, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

Hi! Do you plan on returning to this? --Rschen7754 16:44, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2017).
The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.
Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

Beginning on November 28, 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) will be conducting a survey to en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:
If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.
