== Replacing the part for the whole. For future reference, is this normal policy? ==

Hello. With regards to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#PA_including_racist_undertones,_RS,_NPOV,_FRINGE,_DOSPAGWYA,_3RR this thread], is it normal for admins to consider one specific violation at a time (or in this case, a tangent of a specific violation such that even the violation itself went ignored)? Evidently, it seems multiple PA violations, as well as RS, NPOV, FRINGE, and 3RR violations went ignored, while only a tangent of one specific violation was considered. One could say this is comparable to a criminal committing break-in, rape, murder, and robbery, but the criminal is only charged with breaking a plate. For future reference, do admins as a matter of policy consider only one violation (or a tangent of a violation) at a time even if a post contains quite a number of reported violations? Thanks.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:SeriousSam11|SeriousSam11]] ([[User talk:SeriousSam11#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/SeriousSam11|contribs]]) 17:34, 24 May 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Mate, drop the stick. When you notice that absolutely no one agrees with you, that's usually a good moment to re-examine your position. [[User:A Train|<b><span style="background:#324B91;color:white">A</span></b> <span style="color:#324B91">Train</span>]]<sup>''[[User talk:A Train|talk]]''</sup> 00:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
:: "No one agrees" being you and the accused. Just to make it clear, are you stating that calling me a "genocide denier" (for civilly correcting incorrect fringe-theory information), a "lunatic" (in response to being proven wrong by hard factual data), among other personal attacks is okay? Breaking other rules, including 3RR where there's no subjectiveness, is okay? Are you saying that breaking 5 different rules repeatedly is acceptable? I'd appreciate straight-forward answers to these questions, because it appears that sometimes rules are enforced and sometimes they're not. What I'm understanding from you is that I can call someone a lunatic for no reason, and you would be fine with that.

::I'd just like to understand what the policy is, as it appears to be subjective, and ignoring all violations and focusing on a specific tangent of one (and still misinterpreting it) is particularly disingenuous. I'd imagine that even if an admin does not enforce the rules, they would still be able to explain them. [[User:SeriousSam11|SeriousSam11]] ([[User talk:SeriousSam11|talk]]) 07:33, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
:::[[User:SeriousSam11|SeriousSam11]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive984#PA_including_racist_undertones,_RS,_NPOV,_FRINGE,_DOSPAGWYA,_3RR here's a working link] to the archived ANI discussion. I strongly suggest that you read it again. Several experienced users (ie, not just me and "the accused" — there's a term you stop using if you want to be taken seriously) chimed in. Not a single one of them found any merit in your accusations. Several of them suggested to you that you stop digging yourself deeper. 
:::Bullet points for maximum clarity:
:::*None of the experienced uninvolved editors at ANI (including but not limited to {{reply to|John from Idegon|Tarage|NinjaRobotPirate}}) thought that your accusations of racism had any merit. All of them suggested that you drop the stick and walk away.
:::*You have repeatedly made a claim that TTAAC has broken 3RR without supplying diffs to that effect.
:::*You brought a content dispute to ANI. That is not what ANI is for. (That 'is' what [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]] is for, btw.)
:::*I did you a favour by closing your ANI report before it led to your block for disruption. If you continue tilting at this particular windmill, casting aspersions at me and others, then I will bring us back to the previous course.
:::Please take a time out and return to [[Talk:Halabja chemical attack]] with an open mind, and re-consider your position in light of the policies that other editors are citing. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and if you can't meaningfully collaborate with users who don't hold the same opinions as you, then you will have a very difficult, frustrating time here.
:::Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm, but you really need to redirect it in a direction that isn't wasting other volunteers' time. [[User:A Train|<b><span style="background:#324B91;color:white">A</span></b> <span style="color:#324B91">Train</span>]]<sup>''[[User talk:A Train|talk]]''</sup> 09:09, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
:::Let me go one step further. Drop it or I'll go back to ANI and ask for a topic ban. --[[User:Tarage|Tarage]] ([[User talk:Tarage|talk]]) 09:42, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
:::: That's the thing. I have been collaborating well. Aside from me is a user who responds to factual data and evidence in response to unreliable sourcing and conjecture, with 1) personal attacks, 2) RS/NPOV/FRINGE/OR violations, and 3) edit warring (I did supply the diff where the user started edit warring on the thread, unless you're asking for something else entirely) that has proven to be less than ideal. 
:::: This focus on racism is misleading. The user was making personal attacks, whether or not you consider any racist undertones. And assuming someone's nationality/ethnicity in conjunction with an insult is almost always regarded as having racial undertones. Why would the user automatically assume I am Iraqi (then followed by an insult)? Again, the racist undertones are just a tangent to things such as "genocide denier" and "lunatic" among other things, which are insults and which still seem to go ignored. If a user responds to enhancing the reliability and NPOV of an article with insults, that's certainly absurd.
:::: Having worked with current and former Reddit employees and also 2 former admins here, the difference in moderation is apparent, to say the least. Here, it appears everything in a case can be ignored except a small, misconstrued part of the overall case. There, everything is taken into consideration, especially on the largest (default) subreddits where I have moderated. Having played and being told I've played an integral role in building up the fourth most trafficked site in the US is certainly not a small matter.
:::: Tarage: I cannot say I am surprised that a user very well-known on this site for attacking people has to chime in. Are you also stalking me? I advise to re-consider this behavior. Your activities on Wikipedia are largely relegated to attacking users and making threats. If you get your kicks from bashing people in order to assuage whichever maladies you may be suffering from, this isn't the place for it.
:::: In any case, I have dropped the matter. I was simply asking for clarification on site policy, and I received about as decent a response as could be expected.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:SeriousSam11|SeriousSam11]] ([[User talk:SeriousSam11#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/SeriousSam11|contribs]]) 20:24, 25 May 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Deletion of the article Pedro Perebal==
Hi. In the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pedro Perebal| Pedro Perebal afd]] your deletion explanation was "Insufficient sourcing for a BLP, and a textbook WP:BLP1E as User:Joe_Roe argues". Can you tell me what is your threshold for sufficient sourcing for BLP? And how do you apply WP:BLP1E (notability for one event) if the reason I created the article was due to the subject's notability for its achievement of learning by himself several languages being a security guard and not because he is related to any event? [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]] ([[User talk:Thinker78|talk]]) 02:57, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
:[[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]], I'm sorry your article was deleted — I know myself how frustrating that can be.
:BLP concerns are taken very seriously and trump almost everything else on Wikipedia. To understand how BLP1E applies, you need to think about this from the perspective of the media coverage (which all comes from a brief period of time), and not Mr Perebal's process of learning languages (which took many years). If you think of the references that the article used, they all arose from a single period of publicity from early April to early May, as the story of Mr Perebal's achievement percolated through the media around the world.
:If Mr Perebal runs for president of Guatemala in 2019, or if he writes a best-selling book on self-improvement through language learning, then there will be substantial media coverage of him beyond just that about the one event that made him briefly famous. Put it another way, it is [[WP:TOOSOON|too soon]] to know if Mr Perebal will be a noteable figure in the future.
:All the best, [[User:A Train|<b><span style="background:#324B91;color:white">A</span></b> <span style="color:#324B91">Train</span>]]<sup>''[[User talk:A Train|talk]]''</sup> 08:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for the reply. Can you clarify what would be sufficient sourcing for BLP for you? And you keep mentioning "an event". What event are you talking about? [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]] ([[User talk:Thinker78|talk]]) 19:11, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
:::Hi [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]]. The event we're talking about is the round of media interviews and human interest stories about Mr Perebal that appeared roughly around April-May 2018. If, in the future, there is additional significant media coverage of Mr Perebal for another reason, then you would have a slam dunk case for writing an article about him. [[User:A Train|<b><span style="background:#324B91;color:white">A</span></b> <span style="color:#324B91">Train</span>]]<sup>''[[User talk:A Train|talk]]''</sup> 19:16, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
::::I really think you are misusing the term "event" in this one. It doesn't appear very reasonable saying that media interviews are an event that made Perebal notable, of course media interviews make people notable but saying that the media interviews themselves are an event that made people notable is stretching it past the breaking point in my view. Perebal is notable because he learned many foreign languages by himself working as a security guard in Guatemala in a seedy part of town. That makes him notable and that's why he got the round of media interviews. He is not a participant in any event that made him notable. [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]] ([[User talk:Thinker78|talk]]) 19:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::My friend, I've been around for a little while and closed more than a couple of AfDs. I'm pretty sure I've got this one right. But you seem quite committed to this article. If you want, I will reopen the AfD for another week and restore the article so folks can look it over.
:::::If you opt for this, I would not get your hopes up. I would be very surprised if the discussion suddenly swung towards keeping the article, and you're just going to be disappointed all over again. But I'm happy to leave it up to you. Do you want me to re=-open and relist the discussion?

::::::That would be nice. Well, yes, if you give me the option to reopen the afd discussion I take it. I think transcribing this talk page discussion there would be helpful to other editors too. But tbh you left me wondering about your reasoning for labeling the subject as related to an event. I try not to take dogmatic positions but I thoroughly defend the positions I take and I challenge other's positions. If I feel my position is untenable I change opinion and adopt the other person's position. You can see an example of that in this [[Talk:Cold-stimulus headache#Requested move 4 November 2017|Requested move discussion]] in the talk page of the article [[Cold-stimulus headache]], discussion in which I worked many hours, between pondering, writing and investigating, ultimately changing my opinion. [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]] ([[User talk:Thinker78|talk]]) 04:17, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
:::::::Okay, [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]], I have restored the article and relisted the deletion discussion. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to close the debate again, so this is where I get off. Bon courage, I hope you are satisfied with the ultimate result.

== Thank you! ==

Thanks for reviewing the AfD of [[Jasmine Directory]]. Even if I do have a decent experience of editing on Wikipedia I don't want to touch the article ever again to avoid any possible issues. All my proposals went through using the edit request template and obviously I plan to do so in the future as well when needed. The live version of the page is reviewed by a few independent editors ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jasmine_Directory&type=revision&diff=843390005&oldid=798370773 diff]) and ce, cleanup, NPOV were addressed as well. So, I was wondering if you could remove the COI and notability tag, because I suppose I am not allowed to (I'd prefer not to edit at all the article). Thank you! [[User:Robertgombos|Robertgombos]] ([[User talk:Robertgombos|talk]]) 21:11, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
:[[User:Robertgombos|Robertgombos]], it's great that you understand that it's better not to edit in areas where you have an interest or even the appearance of one. Given that I closed the AfD maybe it's better if someone else assesses the tags on the articles.

:[[User:Cgx8253]], thank you very much for getting back to me—after Googling I have found [http://cartasdesdecuba.com/espana-acelerara-entrega-de-ciudadania-a-los-cubanos/ the article in question].

:* IP-based [[phab:T152462|cookie blocks]] should be [[phab:T192017|deployed]] to English Wikipedia in June. This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.
:* The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team will build [[Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Per user page, namespace, category, and upload blocking|granular types of blocks]] in 2018 (e.g. a block from uploading or editing specific pages, categories, or namespaces, as opposed to a full-site block). Feedback on the concept may be left at [[Wikipedia talk:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Per user page, namespace, category, and upload blocking|the talk page]].
:* There is [[phab:T174313|now a checkbox]] on [[Special:ListUsers|Special:ListUsers]] to let you see only users in temporary user groups.
:* It is [[phab:T165535|now easier]] for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked.

:* A [[Special:PermanentLink/843882679#Issue with emails sent to the Arbitration Committee|recent technical issue]] with the Arbitration Committee's spam filter inadvertently caused all messages sent to the committee through Wikipedia (i.e. [[Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee]]) to be discarded. If you attempted to send an email to the Arbitration Committee via Wikipedia between May 16 and May 31, your message was not received and you are encouraged to resend it. Messages sent outside of these dates or directly to the Arbitration Committee email address were not affected by this issue.

:* In early May, an [[phab:T193769|unusually high level of failed login attempts]] was observed. The WMF [https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-May/090145.html has stated] that this was an "external effort to gain unauthorized access to random accounts". Under Wikipedia policy, administrators [[Wikipedia:Password strength requirements|are required to have strong passwords]].

== User Phoenixhill ==

Hello,

I ask an intervention for a case of serious [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]].

Recently I edited the pages [[Templeton Foundation]] and [[Fenggang Yang]].

There is [[User:Phoenixhill]], who I am 100% sure is Fenggang Yang himself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fenggang_Yang), who continues to delete large sourced parts of the text in [[Templeton Foundation]], a organization with which he is related, and add allegations that academics who have criticised him are "Communists" in the article [[Fenggang Yang]] (as written in the talk page of the article, many of them are not Communists at all). [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Templeton_Foundation&offset=&limit=500&action=history Page 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fenggang_Yang&type=revision&diff=844431252&oldid=844429682 page 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phoenixhill his talk page].

He has already been reverted by multiple users. The most disturbing thing is that he insinuates that I am an agent of the Chinese Communist Party and I am [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AFenggang_Yang&type=revision&diff=844438228&oldid=844437721 "not qualified to make the editing until you have done your reading and homework"]. I am an unknown independent person who just happens to be knowledgeable in these topics.

Here] another discussion about user Phoenixhill (which started from his insinuation that I am a Communist agent).--[[User:Amorphophallus Titanum|Amorphophallus Titanum]] ([[User talk:Amorphophallus Titanum|talk]]) 23:35, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

== Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/COSCO fleet lists ==

Hi. Would you look again at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/COSCO fleet lists]]. The nom and my support make two clear deletes. Eggishorn's Drafity means remove from mainspace, which equals a delete rather than a keep. Nosebagbear does not make a comment in favour of either keep or delete, he says that notability is an issue, but if sources could be found then he would !vote keep. There are no keep comments, and certainly no keep arguments. Murgatroyd49 is unclear on the process, and is mainly asking questions (such as should he move the list to the main article) - he makes no keep comment or argument, seeming in doubt himself if the list is notable. I put forward policy based arguments which were not rebuted (if you look at Murgatroyd49's comments he is asking for clarification on points I raise, and then makes an error in understanding that we can't rely on primary sources for notability). Numerically it is Delete 2, Draft/Userfy 1, Keep 0. And there is a "reasonable, logical, policy-based argument" for delete - per [[WP:CLOSEAFD]]. The main decision to make is to either delete or to userfy to Murgatroyd49's userspace. There are other options available at [[WP:SOFTDELETE]], such as redirecting to the main article ([[COSCO]]), though I don't think any of those are appropriate for this situation. I would not object to [[Wikipedia:Userfication|userifying]] to Murgatroyd49's userspace. [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] ([[User talk:SilkTork|talk]]) 01:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
:I respectfully disagree, [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]]: I re-read the debate this morning and I think my interpretation of the consensus is correct.

::Disagreement is fine. Would you explain your rationale so I can understand your thinking? If you can point out either a keep vote or a valid keep argument I've missed, we can discuss the matter. If you prefer not to discuss it further, no worries, just let me know and I'll go to [[WP:DELREV]]. [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] ([[User talk:SilkTork|talk]]) 08:37, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

== Userfy Ammar Campa-Najjar==
Dear Editor,
Would it be possible to userfy the article on Ammar Campa-Najjar so I can bring  it back  up to speed? Ammar Campa Najjar is a candidate running for Congress in California's 50th District and he already won the primary and the Democratic nomination. Although winning a primary does not automatically make one notable, in this case he is notable because he has a serious  chance to win. The article about him that you deleted did not have any BLP violations, and should be userfied so it can be put back up.

== Deletion review  ==

Hey, one of the pages I created named 'Syed Shah Abdul Haq Gilani' was recently deleted after nomination for speedy deletion. This person who nominated it for speedy deletion had no sort of know-how on the subject and accepted the fact too. It is a request if the page is restored or the content's emailed to me for improvement so I could make a new page regarding the same person.

== 4th Nomination to delete Artur Balder in English WP ==

There is something suspicious happening repeatedly. The same Spanish user 'SAVH' has managed to delete an article that was previously by consensus approved by a board of English WP users and administrators  after 4 nominations for deletion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Artur_Balder_(4th_nomination)). The recurring situation has all the odd looks of a persistent 'sham' and 'hate', and I think someone has to do something to clarify this. 

If you analyze the voting, at least one of the 'delete' votes comes from the Spanish WP, and had been previously involved in similar polemics in favor and coordination very often with 'Savh'. On the other hand, there are a tone of arguments against the deletion, it is just very strange. The user 'Savh' acknowledges direct contact via twitter with a journalist, and exposes all reasons to delete from a 'de-faming' perspective. I think we should be able to recover the article and clean it if necessary, the WP was born to grow and to be neutral, this is against its purposes.

Savh avoids at all cost for instance to give any credit, nor to mention, any collaboration with Academy-award winner Susan Sarandon in the subject's last film, there are photos of them together, and a trailer out there. 

I think the 4th nomination is just another sham, and it is necessary to elevate the action to the attention of administrators, and to examine the article. There is enough traceability of notoriety. For instance, 'obsessed' Savh insist on a fine of 30,000 euros because allegedly Balder said a journalist has 'friends in high places', the news published at El Pais. Well, this is relevant in Spain perhaps, but according to the First Amendment there is no way to sue someone in the USA because of such facts, and these rulings are considers accrding to the Speech Act, 'repugnant to' the constitution of the USA, for here there is wider freedom to criticize a public figure... On the other hand, the same source he cites, El Pais, exposes the 'success' of Balder's children books as back as 2006, and that's not a press release as he suggest, see here: https://elpais.com/diario/2006/06/10/cultura/1149890405_850215.html 

SAVH is obviously biased and is, as it states, in direct contact with the journalist that obviously has had problems with Balder. This is not enough to delete any article. 

There must be a way to examine and rollback this absurd intromission of Spanish editors obsessed in bringing their own neuras into the English WP fabric. 

Do you really think this is just a bureaucrat's job? Avoiding to mention the El Pais 2016 praise of the writer's book, for instance, and focusing from the first sentence of the article in the polemic between him and a journalist? And avoiding mentioning the film with an Academy-award winner actor, but reinforcing the 'lesser' view about the MoMA screenings? Do you really think that this is neutral? Four nominations for deletion by the same subject who is tying to impose its view over and over and a direct conversation on twitter with one of the part looks to you like 'neutral'?

== Request revisiting deletion of [[Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek]] article in Oct. 2017 ==

Clicking through old links in my contributions page, I was stunned to see that the article on '''The Mansion on Turtle Creek''' had been deleted for non-notability, as this hotel is a Dallas landmark and has hosted numerous celebrities as well as various presidents and foreign rulers. When I read through the deletion page, it became evident to me what the problem was: the cursory search for evidence of notability was done under the uncommonly-used official name, '''Rosewood Mansion at Turtle Creek''', rather than the name that it has been known by for most of its life as a hotel, The Mansion on Turtle Creek. As a Dallasite, I can certainly see why the unimpressive results from searching the official name would fail to convince an outsider of notability if the person weren't a specialist in luxury hotels or fine dining. The WP policy page about deletion reviews says (a) finding new information subsequent to a deletion is a good basis for requesting a review and (b) before requesting a review, one should try first contacting the administrator who officially determined the deletion. So that's why I'm on your user talk page.

Here's just one example of how the search results differ when the correct name is searched:
: Google Books search for "Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek" = 785 results

: Google Books search for "Mansion on Turtle Creek" = '''''5880''''' results &mdash; that's a 650% increase
Now let's take industry indicators of notability:

* [[Zagat]] ranked The Mansion as best hotel in the United States in the 1992, 1995, and 1997 surveys &mdash; an AP story printed in the  ''Los Angeles Times'' from 1995 notes that in that year, best-in-US meant it beat out the [[Hotel Bel-Air]] in LA (which the Rosewood company later bought) as well as the Four Seasons hotels in Chicago, NYC, and Boston, and that the then-touted Plaza Hotel of NYC and Trump fame hadn't gotten into the Top 100 that year or even the Top 10 for NYC. Zagat said the Mansion received 28 out of 30 points that year, calling it "European elegance with old-fashioned Texas hospitality and ... top honors in dining, location, and style." ([http://articles.latimes.com/1995-04-20/business/fi-56907_1_hotel-survey "Executive travel: Plaza Hotel falls off Zagat's Top 100 list: Lodging: no NY hotel made survey's fab five, which includes L.A.'s Bel Air"], ''Los Angeles Times'', April 20, 1995)
* In 1990 The Mansion received the [[Mobil Travel Guide]] Five Star Award -- here's how ''Texas Monthly'' writer Skip Hollandsworth tells it (in a 1992 story about how people in London were NOT responding kindly to the parent company, Rosewood, buying London's most expensive hotel):

: <div>"In Dallas society, of course, Rosewood is treated with almost godlike reverence. With part of the money she received as beneficiary of a trust established by her late father, oilman H. L. Hunt, Caroline Rose Hunt founded the company in 1979 to create small, elegant hotels. Her first effort was '''the Mansion on Turtle Creek''', which garnered a national reputation: It received the coveted Mobil Travel Guide Five Star Award in 1990, and last year it was named by the U.S. Zagat survey as the best hotel in the country. The always-packed Mansion Restaurant alone has taught the sometimes rowdy Dallas rich more about fine wine and haute cuisine than any other establishment in the history of the city. Social climbers have been known to bribe the maître d’ to be seated at the restaurant’s highly visible front tables." (emphasis mine -- [https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/beyond-luxury/ "Beyond luxury: a Texas company has shocked London by taking over one of the world’s most expensive hotels—only a block from Buckingham Palace"], ''Texas Monthly'', June 1992)</div>
To all this, we could add the famous folks who've stayed and/or dined there, either in its prior life as the 1920s mansion of cotton baron Sheppard King (FDR and Tennessee Williams, among others) or after it became a hotel (Larry Hagman and the cast of ''Dallas'' while filming various seasons of the show; presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush; Crown Prince Abdullah (later King Abdullah), who rented ''the entire hotel'', including one room just for his ''TVs'' (!); Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. We could add the fact, mentioned above in the ''Texas Monthly'' piece, that it was the pet project of [[Caroline Rose Hunt|Caroline Hunt]], an entrepreneur and heiress that ''The Dallas Morning News'' says was "once considered America's richest woman" (see [https://www.dallasnews.com/business/billionaires/2017/11/03/oil-heiress-caroline-hunt-reminisces-life-larry-hagman-eating-vegetables            this October 2017 article by business columnist Cheryl Hall]) and was the foundation of the [[Rosewood Hotels & Resorts]] empire that she sold in 2011 for $799 million. 

Don't get me wrong &mdash; I've got no personal connection to the hotel, just a fondness for Dallas history. And while I haven't yet looked back at the original article, when I do, I'm quite prepared to find it sounds as gushing as one of the deletion voters said ... certainly that was the case with the [[Neiman Marcus]] article's mention of [[Stanley Marcus]] back in 2005 when I first discovered there was no article on him at all. Some careless person had done a copyvio of a timeline from the NM web site, including how "the retail and fashion worlds mourned the death of Stanley Marcus" in 2002. Some wag on the talk page for the NM article thought that was absurd, simply because s/he had never heard of him. I was inspired to go start an article about him, since he was one of my dad's business idols, and pretty soon, I had 200+ pages of material found online to back up the claim, a trove of material I'm ''still'' working on distilling for the article all these years later in an effort to move it from Good Article to Featured.

Something similar is true of the 69 pages about The Mansion that I've put together in Word just in the last few hours, working only from WP:RS material, and that length is despite the fact that for many of those articles, I only pulled a paragraph or two. I think it's highly likely some of the material in the deleted WP article will turn out to be stuff from press releases and so on, but I can definitely make a good case that there's plenty of verifiable, reliable, secondary-source material on which to base a solid case for notability. So may I create the article again? [[User:Lawikitejana|Lawikitejana]] ([[User talk:Lawikitejana|talk]]) 11:06, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

:'''Update''': I've now discovered what you probably already knew, that there isn't any (apparent) way to see what the article looked like before deletion. I'm hoping if you let me re-create, there will be a way to see if there's any usable material in the prior version(s).

== Request for help ==

Article [[Ayman Sadiq]] is redirecting again and again without a valid reason. Reason why there'll be an article of this topic.
1. He has won Queen's Young Leader Award. 2. Forbes 30 under 30. [[WP:ANYBIO]] 3. His website is not just an web. it's an organization, largest online platform of the country. 4. He is an Youtuber himself. 5. A public speaker, visits school,collages among the country. 6. He has wrote a book (have sources).
1 of these 6 is not notable for Wikipedia but together all, he deserve an article on the encyclopedia which make him notable to having an article. I requested that editor to make a move request or make deletion entry rather than redirect the page. he didn't. 
I don't know how to get help regarding this and discovered you as an administrator. As I read Wikipedia once a day, i think I have right to give my opinion. if the topic doesn't meet Wikipedia notability, Article must be deleted. I'm sorry to disturb you here, but I'll be very happy if you give sometimes on this topic. Thanks.

:* After [[:meta:Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS|a discussion at Meta]], a new user group called "[[Wikipedia:Interface administrators|interface administrators]]" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] and [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by [[WP:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]]. [[Wikipedia talk:Interface administrators|Discussion is ongoing]] to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
:* Following a [[Special:Permalink/853341762#Restrict Wikinews links in articles|request for comment]], the [[WP:SISTER]] style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to [[n:Main Page|Wikinews]] should only be made as per the [[Wikipedia:External links|external links guideline]]. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

:* Following a [[Special:PermaLink/862060913#RfC:_Approving_the_updated_proposal|request for comment]], the [[Wikipedia:Interface administrators|process for appointing interface administrators]] has been established. Currently only [[Special:PermaLink/857728137#Sysop_as_requirement|existing admins can request these rights]], while a [[Wikipedia_talk:Interface_administrators#Allow_non-admins_to_request_access?|new RfC]] has begun on whether it should be available to non-admins.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:* [[meta:Community health initiative/Per-user page, namespace, and upload blocking|Partial blocks]] should be available for testing in October on the [[testwiki:Main Page|Test Wikipedia]] and the [https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org Beta-Cluster]. This new feature allows admins to block users from editing specific pages and in the near-future, namespaces and uploading files. You can expect more updates and an invitation to help with testing once it is available.
:* The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team is currently looking for input on how to [[meta:Community health initiative/Measuring the effectiveness of blocks|measure the effectiveness of blocks]]. This is in particular related to how they will measure the success of the aforementioned partial blocks.
:* Because of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/Server switch 2018|a data centre test]], you will be able to read but not edit the Wikimedia projects for up to an hour on 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:* The Arbitration Committee has, [[Special:PermaLink/861809996#Motion:_CU/OS_activity_standards|by motion]], amended the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Procedures#CheckUser/Oversight_permissions_and_inactivity|procedure on functionary inactivity]].
:* The community consultation for [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/CheckUser and Oversight/2018 CUOS appointments|2018 CheckUser and Oversight appointments]] has concluded. Appointments will be made by October 11.
:* Following a [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Arbitration Committee Elections December 2018|request for comment]], the size of the Arbitration Committee will be decreased to 13 arbitrators, starting in 2019. Additionally, the minimum support percentage required to be appointed to a two-year term on ArbCom has been increased to 60%. ArbCom candidates who receive between 50% and 60% support will be appointed to one-year terms instead.
:* Nominations for the 2018 Arbitration Committee Electoral Commission are [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Arbitration Committee Elections December 2018/Electoral Commission|being accepted until 12 October]]. These are the editors who help run the ArbCom election smoothly. If you are interested in volunteering for this role, please consider nominating yourself.

:* A [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Proposing a temporary measure to assist in protecting the Main Page|proposal has been made]] to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to [[Wikipedia:Interface administrators|interface administrators]] in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.

:* In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. '''If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately.''' Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on [[List of data breaches|a website that suffered a data breach]]. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
:* Wikipedia policy [[Wikipedia:Password strength requirements|requires administrators to have strong passwords]]. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]].

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
:* There are a number of new or changed [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion criteria]], each previously part of [[WP:CSD#G6]]:
::#'''[[WP:CSD#G14|G14]]''' (new): Disambiguation pages that disambiguate only zero or one existing pages are now covered under the new G14 criterion ([[Special:Permalink/874654073#Proposal: Move deletion of disambiguation pages from G6 → G14|discussion]]).  This is {{tl|db-disambig}}; the text is unchanged and candidates may be found in [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as unnecessary disambiguation pages]].
::#'''[[WP:CSD#R4|R4]]''' (new): Redirects in the file namespace (and no [[Wikipedia:File link|file links]]) that have the same name as a file or redirect at  [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons|Commons]] are now covered under the new R4 criterion ([[Special:Permalink/874654073#Redirects in the File: namespace G6 → R4|discussion]]).  This is {{tl|db-redircom}}; the text is unchanged.
::#'''[[WP:CSD#G13|G13]]''' (expanded): Userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text are now covered under G13 along with other drafts ([[Special:Permalink/874654073#Proposal to merge db-blankdraft into G13|discussion]]).  Such blank drafts are now eligible after six months rather than one year, and taggers continue to use {{tl|db-blankdraft}}.
:* The Wikimedia Foundation [[:meta:Special:Diff/18694065|now requires]] all [[WP:Interface administrators|interface administrators]] to enable [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]].
:* Members of the [[WP:BAG|Bot Approvals Group]] (BAG) are [[Special:PermanentLink/874067212#Should BAG members have an activity requirement?|now subject to an activity requirement]]. After two years without any bot-related activity (e.g. operating a bot, posting on a bot-related talk page), BAG members will be retired from BAG following a one-week notice.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:*Starting on December 13, the Wikimedia Foundation security team implemented new [[m:Password policy|password policy and requirements]]. Privileged accounts (administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, interface administrators, bots, edit filter managers/helpers, template editors, [[mw:Wikimedia Security Team/Password strengthening 2019#Who this impacts|et al.]]) must have a password <u>at least 10 characters in length</u>. ''All'' accounts must have a password:
::# At least 8 characters in length
::# Not in the 100,000 most popular passwords (defined by the [//github.com/wikimedia/password-blacklist Password Blacklist library])
::# Different from their username
::User accounts not meeting these requirements will be prompted to update their password accordingly. More information is available [[mw:Wikimedia Security Team/Password strengthening 2019|on MediaWiki.org]].
:*Blocked administrators [[phab:T150826|may now]] block the administrator that blocked them. This was done to mitigate the possibility that a compromised administrator account would block all other active administrators, complementing the removal of the ability to unblock oneself outside of self-imposed blocks. A [[Wikipedia talk:Blocking policy#RfC: blocking the admin who blocked you|request for comment]] is currently in progress to determine whether the blocking policy should be updated regarding this change.
:*{{tl|Copyvio-revdel}} now has a link to open the history with the [[WP:RevDel|RevDel]] checkboxes already filled in.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:* Following the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2018#Results|2018 Arbitration Committee elections]], the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: {{noping|AGK}}, {{noping|Courcelles}}, {{noping|GorillaWarfare}}, {{noping|Joe Roe}}, {{noping|Mkdw}}, {{noping|SilkTork}}.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:* Accounts continue to be compromised on a regular basis. Evidence shows this is entirely due to the accounts having the same password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. '''If you have ever used your current password on ''any'' other website, you should change it immediately.'''
:* Around 22% of admins have enabled [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|two-factor authentication]], up from 20% in June 2018. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider [[Wikipedia:Simple 2FA|doing so]]. Regardless of whether you use 2FA, please practice appropriate [[Wikipedia:User account security|account security]] by ensuring your password is [[Password_strength#Guidelines_for_strong_passwords|secure]] and unique to Wikimedia.

:* A [[Wikipedia:Administrators/2019 request for comment on inactivity standards|request for comment]] is currently open to reevaluate the [[WP:INACTIVITY|activity requirements]] for administrators.
:* Administrators who are blocked have the technical ability to block the administrator who blocked their own account. A recent [[Special:Permalink/880581854#RfC: blocking the admin who blocked you|request for comment]] has amended the [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocking policy]] to clarify that this ability should only be used in exceptional circumstances, such as account compromises, where there is a clear and immediate need.
:* A [[Special:Permalink/879024821#RfC: The Sun|request for comment]] closed with a consensus in favor of deprecating ''[[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]'' as a permissible reference, and creating an edit filter to warn users who attempt to cite it.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:*A [[Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_page_protection#Reduce_size_of_instructions|discussion]] regarding an overhaul of the format and appearance of [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection]] is in progress ([[Special:Permalink/880669383#Reduce size of instructions|permalink]]). The proposed changes will make it easier to create requests for those who are not using Twinkle. The workflow for administrators at this venue will largely be unchanged. Additionally, there are plans to archive requests similar to how it is done at [[WP:PERM]], where historical records are kept so that prior requests can more easily be searched for.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:* Voting in the [[:meta:Stewards/Elections 2019|2019 Steward elections]] will begin on 08 February 2019, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2019, 13:59 (UTC). The [[:meta:Stewards/Confirm/2019|confirmation process]] of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically [https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/accounteligibility/49 check your eligibility] to vote.
:* A new [[User:MusikBot/AbuseFilterIRC|IRC bot]] is available that allows you to subscribe to notifications when specific filters are tripped. This requires that your IRC handle be [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration identified].

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
:*The RfC on [[Wikipedia:Administrators/2019 request for comment on inactivity standards|administrator activity requirements]] failed to reach consensus for any proposal.
:*Following discussions at [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats%27 noticeboard/Archive 40#Five year rule|the Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and [[Special:Permalink/885266975#Removing "voluntary removal" from the 5-year etc rule|Wikipedia talk:Administrators]], an earlier change to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Restoration of adminship|restoration of adminship]] policy was [[Special:Diff/883929704/884420780|reverted]].  If requested, bureaucrats will not restore administrator permissions removed due to inactivity if there have been five years without a logged administrator action; this "five year rule" does not apply to permissions removed voluntarily.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:* A [[toolforge:ipcheck|new tool]] is available to help determine if a given IP is an open proxy/VPN/webhost/compromised host.

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:*The Arbitration Committee announced [[Special:Permalink/883309481#New OTRS queues|two new OTRS queues]]. Both are meant solely for cases involving private information; other cases will continue to be handled at the appropriate venues (e.g., [[WP:COIN]] or [[WP:SPI]]).
:**<tt>{{Nospam|paid-en-wp|wikipedia.org}}</tt> has been set up to receive private evidence related to abusive [[WP:PAID|paid editing]].
:**<tt>{{Nospam|checkuser-en-wp|wikipedia.org}}</tt> has been set up to receive private requests for CheckUser. For instance, requests for IP block exemption for anonymous proxy editing should now be sent to this address instead of the functionaries-en list.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:*Following the [[meta:Stewards/Elections 2019|2019 Steward Elections]], the following editors have been appointed as stewards: [[meta:Stewards/Elections_2019/Statements/Base|Base]], [[meta:Stewards/Elections 2019/Statements/Einsbor|Einsbor]], [[meta:Stewards/Elections 2019/Statements/Jon Kolbert|Jon Kolbert]], [[meta:Stewards/Elections 2019/Statements/Schniggendiller|Schniggendiller]], and [[meta:Stewards/Elections 2019/Statements/Wim b|Wim b]].

== Userfication of the deleted article Mitsubishi F-3 ==

Dear Administrator,

I would like to request the deleted article, Mitsubishi F-3, to be moved to my user page. The F-3 is a future Japanese stealth fighter currently in development. A while back I created the article but it was nominated for deletion, [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mitsubishi F-3]], because there was a lack of information regarding its current development (namely the manufacturer, Mitsubishi is only speculated). The other editors declared the article [[WP:TOOSOON]] (which I also agree). However, I believe there is still potential for this topic in future when more information is available and I wish to access the information from this article so in the future I can create a better F-3 article based on improvements and changes from the deleted one. In addition, some of the editors have stated that the information within the deleted article can be used for the existing [[Mitsubishi X-2]] (a tech demonstrator designed to study and develop technologies for the F-3). Thus, I would also like to use the information from the Mitsubishi F-3 to expand upon an Mitsubishi X-2. Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

; Why have I received this message?
: All administrators are receiving it.

; What prompted you to send this message?
: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.  Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.

; What do I need to do?
: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.

; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].

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

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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:* [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/adminstats XTools Admin Stats], a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/stewardstats Steward Stats] and [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/patrollerstats Patroller Stats].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:* In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|passed a motion]] amending the [[WP:RETURN|procedures for return of permissions]] ([[Special:Diff/881241712/891851441|diff]]).  In such cases, {{tq|the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions}}; administrators found failing to have adequately done so {{tq|will not be resysopped automatically}}.  All current administrators have been notified of this change.
:* Following a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy/Proposed amendment (April 2019)|formal ratification process]], the [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] has been amended ([[Special:Diff/892690213|diff]]). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication.

[[File:Info Simple bw.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Miscellaneous'''
:* A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump (policy)#RfC: community general sanctions and deletions|request for comment]] is currently open to amend the [[Wikipedia:General sanctions#Community sanctions|community sanctions procedure]] to exclude non XfD or CSD deletions.
:* A [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Proposal about some indefinite IP blocks|proposal to remove pre-2009 indefinite IP blocks]] is currently open for discussion.

:* In February 2019, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) [[:meta:Special:Diff/18886804|changed its office actions policy]] to include temporary and project-specific bans. The WMF exercised this new ability for the first time on the English Wikipedia on 10 June 2019 to temporarily ban and desysop {{noping|Fram}}. This action has resulted in [[WP:FRAM|significant community discussion]], a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#WJBscribe|request for arbitration]] ([[Special:PermanentLink/904388429#WJBscribe|permalink]]), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an [[Special:PermanentLink/904148460#Open letter to the WMF Board|open letter to the WMF Board]].

:*Following a [[meta:Research:IP masking impact report|research project]] on masking IP addresses, the Foundation is starting a new project to [[meta:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|improve the privacy of IP editors]].

:*The [[WP:NPR|new page reviewer right]] is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at [[Special:NewPagesFeed]], but  they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing  [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Newsletter list|here to the NPP newsletter]] that appears every two months, and/or putting [[WT:NPR|the reviewers' talk page]] on your watchlist.<p>Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights [[WP:HATCOLLECTING|removal for inactivity]] at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

== Could you please retrieve the content of the page 'Lady Paula Merry'? ==

I'm sorry if I'm phrasing this all wrong, or using the wrong terms, I just made a Wikipedia account to ask this, but I see you're on the list of Admins to ask if you need the content of a deleted page to be recovered, so here I am.
I need the content of the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Paula_Merry 
If it's not too much to ask, of course.
Thank you for your time.

== Go Go Gadgetini's ==

I know that this might be a long shot but I was wondering if it could be possible to have a copy of a deleted article that was basically somone trying to suggest their fanfiction was a UK exclusive Inspector Gadget series. I believe it would have been on Wikipedia around 2005ish, sorry if that isn't much help, I've just somewhat remembered this hoax and know that the person behind it went pretty far to convince people it was real such as a Wikipedia page and an IMDB page. Sorry for bothering you.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:CroydonMan|CroydonMan]] ([[User talk:CroydonMan#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CroydonMan|contribs]]) 15:33, 30 January 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Request to view deleted page "Living a Lie" ==

Hi there,

I hope you can help me. Back in 2006, under a different username, I created a page called Living a Lie which described an American teen dramedy television series. The article was deleted at my own request not long after.

Is there any chance you could show me the contents of the page, either by e-mail or some other means? To confirm, I'm not requesting it to be undeleted, just to read what was on it.

I'd be so grateful if you can help, thank you.

== Status of Republic of Artsakh ==

Hello.  In my opinion, the status of the unrecognized [[Republic of Artsakh]] article is incorrect.  If the state does not recognize it, the country to which it belongs must also be written in its status.  For example, unrecognized [[Abkhazia]], [[South Ossetia]], and [[Transnistria]] are not like Arsakh in the article.  Arsakh's status was written by three non-[[UN]] member states.  Sorry, is this important?  Does it matter?  However, they are unrecognized separatist organizations.  Even four countries have recognized the independence of those separatist organizations.  But Arsakh was not recognized by any state.  Excuse me, why isn't the Republic of Artsakh article the same as the 3 unrecognized states article?  Don't you think this is a double standard?

== Request for recovering a deleted article  ==

Hi [[A_Train]] I am new on Wikipedia and I've understood you could, as an admin, recover a deleted page and save it in my user page. I would like to make it a draft, instead of publishing myself, so that peers could review it. Thanks in advance!

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''
:*A [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Desysop Policy (2021)|request for comment]] is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions.  This follows a [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/2019 community sentiment on binding desysop procedure|2019 RfC]] in favor of creating one such a policy.
:*A [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#RfC: Deprecate criterion a. from F7|request for comment]] is in progress to remove [[WP:CSD#F7|F7]] (invalid fair-use claim) [[WP:CSD#F7a|subcriterion a]], which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
:*A [[Wikipedia talk:Page mover/delete-redirect#RFC on granting delete-redirect to page movers|request for comment]] seeks to grant [[Wikipedia:Page mover|page movers]] the {{code|delete-redirect}} userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

== Deleted draft ==

Hi A Train, cool name!! 

I recently started a project to make as much info about companies of northern Spain avaliable online, specially from industries that aren't recognized by people that don’t work within them. This was fueled by the fact that I had never heard much from the telecom industry and I was quite surprised, since I use a phone everyday. 

I have a list of historical figures of international interest and international companies that operate here as well. I started by translating business telecommunications services, since I updated their page in the Spanish wikipedia (it was outdated since 2013!!) and I had been involved with them in other projects (the wikipedia articles project is something I started for my own initiative and as part of my own personal development and to put to good use the fact that I am bilingual). 

Even though I translated the article as presented on Spanish wikipedia, it appears to be considered promotional in English wikipedia,  so I am please requesting the article back as a draft so I see which part or parts might be the problem and learn so I don't keep stumbling with this problem. I have read the wiki guidelines in depth and I'm ready to put them into practice, but as it is expected, the first try was a fail. Also I displayed a COI in my page in good faith, even though I am not being paid for writing or editing on wikipedia. 

The article name was: Draft:Pupypau/Business Telecommunications Services

Thank you in advance[[User:Pupypau|Pupypau]] ([[User talk:Pupypau|talk]])  <!--Template:Undated--><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 16:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Please restore deleted edits as draft ==

Hello,
I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles, so please bear with me. I'm the communications manager for an educational 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Eastside College Preparatory School in East Palo Alto, California. I noticed some inaccuracies on our page (for example, we used to have a middle school program, but that was years ago, and it's still mentioned), so I tried to make some edits to update outdated information and stats. However, this was almost immediately deleted because I disclosed that I work for the school. I didn't realize that meant I needed to ask an editor to review it before pressing "publish." Could you please restore my edits as a draft? That way, I can ask an editor to review the changes and hopefully approve publication. My username is Rachelstokes and my email is rachels@eastside.org.
Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Rachel

:*[[Special:Permalink/1026056600#Proposal: deprecate WP:EA/WP:EAR and close down all active templates or help pages linking to it|Consensus was reached]] to deprecate [[Wikipedia:Editor assistance]].
:*Following a [[Special:Permalink/1024830206#Formally deprecate the book namespace|Request for Comment]] the Book namespace was deprecated.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:*Wikimedia previously used the [[m:IRC|IRC]] network [[Freenode]]. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the [[m:IRC/Group_Contacts|Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts]] decided to move to the new [[Libera Chat]] network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a [[:m:IRC/Migrating_to_Libera_Chat|migration guide]] and Wikimedia [[m:Wikimedia Forum#Freenode (IRC)|discussions about this]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:*After a [[WP:ARCA|Clarification request]], the Arbitration Committee modified [[WP:APLRS|Remedy 5]] of the ''Antisemitism in Poland'' case. This means sourcing expectations are a [[WP:DS|discretionary sanction]] instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the [[WP:RSN|Reliable Sources Noticeboard]] to discuss disputed sources.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''
:*IP addresses of unregistered users are to [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|be hidden]] from everyone. There is a rough draft of how [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#Updates|IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them]]. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|at the talk page]].

[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration'''
:*The community authorised [[WP:GS/COVID19|COVID-19 general sanctions]] have been superseded by the [[WP:COVIDDS|COVID-19 discretionary sanctions]] following a [[Special:Permalink/1028936864#Motion:_Discretionary_sanctions|motion]] at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

== Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity ==


[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|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&#32;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 [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].
