Hi Useight :) I'm looking for people to interview [[User:Clovermoss/Editor reflections|here]]. Feel free to pass if you're not interested.

==Questions When Becoming Admin==

*What admin work do you intend to take part in?

*What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?

*Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

== A barnstar for you! ==

==Block==

[[Image:Modern_clock_chris_kemps_01.png|left|32px]]You have been temporarily [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]] because of your disruptive edits. You are [[Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia|invited to contribute]] in a [[Wikipedia:Five pillars|constructive manner]] as soon as the block expires. <span style="font-family: cursive">[[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]]</span> 18:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC) <br clear="both">

Hi, Useight, The vandalism in question was using an attack page for chatting, specifically [[is matt gay]]. If you still think there's been an error, please let me know. <span style="font-family: cursive">[[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]]</span> 19:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I've removed it on the basis that I may have misread your intent. Feel free to delete this once you've read it.- <span style="font-family: cursive">[[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]]</span> 19:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

*It appears there's been a misunderstanding... per the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/Is_matt_gay deleted page log], the only activity [[User:Useight]] has had on the article was tagging it with a {{tl|db-attack}} tag; the other two blocked users in the edit history of this page actually did use the page as an attack chat board as such. I'm going ahead and reversing the block on this basis. --<font face="Book Antiqua">[[User:Kinu|<font color="blue"><strong>Kinu</strong></font>]] ^{[[User_talk:Kinu|<font color="red">''t''</font>]]}/_{[[Special:Contributions/Kinu|<font color="red">''c''</font>]]}</font> 19:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Only a complete toad would try to use this against you, and I don't think you need to worry they will. If they do, I would certainly back you up. Glad to see the unautoblock went through. - <span style="font-family: cursive">[[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]]</span> 20:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]

Hello,

== Thank you ==

In case you didn't see it, I appreciate you looking up and finding the previous interaction between Worm That Turned and I. No idea how you even found it, but it was impressive and I am grateful. It may have been a small thing, but thank you. [[User:ChrisLeeNeal|ChrisLeeNeal]] ([[User talk:ChrisLeeNeal|talk]]) 19:05, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

:You're welcome. I looked at your contribution history [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ChrisLeeNeal here]. I was able to find your edit to [[User talk:Worm That Turned]] and then click on the timestamp to see the page as it looked at that time. Then, using the links at the top of the page, I was able to go forward edit-by-edit until [[User:Worm That Turned|Worm That Turned]] replied to you.

[[File:Green check.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Guideline and policy news'''

* Following [[Wikipedia talk:Speedy deletion#RFC: New CSD for unreviewed LLM content|a request for comment]], a new speedy deletion criterion, [[WP:G15|G15]], has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a [[large language model]] (LLM) without human review.

* Following [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Temporary account IP-viewer|a request for comment]], there is [[WP:TAIV|a new policy]] outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of [[mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]]. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can [[WP:PERM/TAIV|request access to the permission]] ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.

[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news'''

* Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers.

** South Asia ([[WP:CT/SA]]) is designated a [[WP:Contentious topics|contentious topic]]. The topic area is specifically defined as {{tq|All pages related to the region of [[South Asia]] (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.}}

** The contentious topic designations for [[WP:CT/SL|Sri Lanka]] (SL) and [[WP:CT/IPA|India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan]] (IPA) are folded into this new contentious topic.

** The community-authorized general sanctions regarding [[Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups|South Asian social groups]] (GS/CASTE) are rescinded and folded into this new contentious topic.

* The arbitration case ''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Article titles and capitalisation 2|Article titles and capitalisation 2]]'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case closed on 31 July.

* The arbitration case ''[[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Transgender healthcare and people|Transgender healthcare and people]]'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 11 August.
