== Administrators' newsletter – June 2025 ==

== Enquiry if your able to do this ==

[[Wikipedia:Administrators' newsletter|News and updates for administrators]] from the past month (May 2025).

I was looking at the [[Muhammad]] article, and on the dicussion page it has been said that the article has been taken off the good article list. Could you look into this, and tell me why? Maybe i could contribute to getting it back onto the good article lits as i think it certainly is very good.

Hi FireFox. I wanted to ask your permission to use your RFA thanks to thank the supporters of my RFA regardless of the final outcome. I found it while searching the userspace for a thanks template, and I liked yours. The draft of the template is [[User:Kungfuadam/thanks|here]]. Just let me know if I can use it after the RFA ends.

Hello Ericorbit. My username is JediCarlos. I have read the message you sent me and I would like to know if you can help me since I don't know how I can contribute to the Prince Discussion page to talk about the Trivia Section. Do I need to create a new section? Any advice you can give me? Thanks!

<!-- Message sent by User:JPxG@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Subscribe&oldid=1304742102 -->

I would like to know Firefox if I am doing the things correctly. Thanks!

== Editing article ==

Hello Firefox. My username is JediCarlos.

Ericorbit sent me this message:

Hi JediCarlos, I assume you know how to view a discussion page (the "discussion" tab located at the top of any article). Once there, you can edit a discussion page the same way you would edit any other article... put your text below the part you want to respond to. Just make sure you sign any comments you make with four tildes [[User:158.97.52.43|158.97.52.43]] 20:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC) and this will automatically append your name to the comments so people know who left it. You may also want to check the "history" tab to look at the "edit summary" text that people use when editing a page. With regard to Prince, there was a question about the validity of the "trivia" section as the contents seemed rather vague and need further explanation. This is why your addition was repeatedly removed - as you kept adding it without contributing to the coversation. Feel free to leave any comments there and all editors can come to a conclusion about the trivia. -- eo 20:28, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I have a question Firefox. Before I proceed as Ericorbit has told me, I guess I need to wait

until the block for username JediCarlos and/or IP address 158.97.80.160 expires 18:14, 6 April 2006 right? Thanks

== Webpage information ==

Hello Firefox. I would like to add the following information to the Official sites subsection of

the External links section in the Prince article:

* [http://www.emale.com/ www.emale.com] Now links to NPG Music Club - Prince's official site, but originally it had another information. This webpage is mentioned in the song ''Emale'' from CD number 2 of the Album ''Emancipation'' (1996).

Is it ok if I do this? Waiting for your response before doing so. Thanks!

[[User:JediCarlos|JediCarlos]] 18:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== Webpage of January 9, 1998 ==

Hello Firefox. I would like to add the following information

* [http://www.love4oneanother.com/ Love 4 One Another] Now links to NPG Music Club - Prince's official site, but originally it said in its main webpage: welcome to the playground of the new power generation: the definitive place of gathering 4 all who love life, love God, lovesexy...a place where music, poetry and positive vibes can be shared freely without fear of retribution and every page offers a new awakening...a collective conscience of unity, love and truth so great every human will want 2 join. This site is the bginning of a webwide effort 2 change the vibration of the world...love 4 one another, the ticket... live, the ride... dig if u will a venture inside.

Again, I guess it is ok if I do this and waiting for your response before doing so. Thanks!

== Two different Domain Names in DNS (Domain Name System) ==

I see your point of view. But ___domain names npgmusicclub.com and love4oneanother.com have different administrative and technical contacts in the WHOIS database. Originally this webpages had different information (including www.emale.com) and I saw when they were linked to npgmusicclub.com so my point of view is that they should be included since originally they were different webpages.

What do you think of this explanation? Waiting for your response. Thanks!

[[User:JediCarlos|JediCarlos]] 19:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== Adding information ==

I understand. I am going to add it now and wait to see what happens. If another user deletes it, then I will try the Prince Discussion Page and not add it again until we get a consensus.

I will ask for your help Firefox to see how to reach a verdict though. Could you help me with that? Waiting for your response. Thanks!

: ''"Here in Wikipedia, there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go un-appreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go un-noticed. Sadly, these editors often leave the project. As Esperanzians, we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. A project the size of Wikipedia has thousands of editors, so there are plenty of people out there who deserve recognition, one just has to find them. The object of this program is not to flood editors with Barnstars, but to seek out people who deserve them, and make them feel appreciated."''

Hello Firefox. Just letting you know that I will add the following information to the Official sites subsection of the External links section in the Prince article:

* [http://www.1800newfunk.com/ 1 800 NEW FUNK] Now links to the [http://www.npgmusicclub.com/retail/ NPG Retail Store], but originally it existed as an independent webpage. Here you can buy many Prince related stuff.

== Legality ==

I believe that there is a page that needs addressing. It discusses bypassing certain registries on Windows Genuine Advantage and it gives explicit details. I don't think that Wikipedia needs the reputation of showing how to hack windows. Please consider deleting the '''circumvention''' section and keeping them from starting it up again.

== Recording Studio ==

Good Morning Firefox. Even though the website www.paisleyparkstudios.com is already mentioned in the section Purple Reign: 1982-1993 of the Prince article, it is my best opinion that this link should also be mentioned and included in the Official sites subsection of the External links section of the article; something like this:

* [http://www.paisleyparkstudios.com/ Paisley Park Studios] Opened in 1987 by Prince. The website was created on November 1999.

I would like to know your opinion. Waiting for response. Thanks!

==Admin software bug?==

Your talk page has somehow been added to my watch list, apparently as a result of whatever you did to reverse the unauthorized move of Jimbo's name in other languages page. I'm not complaining, but thought you'd want to know of this possible bug. The vandal's talk page was also added to my watch list, and possibly others'. [[Image:Tycon.jpg]]<b>[[User:Coyoty|Coyoty]]</b> 19:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

:Aha, I see what happened! When the vandal redirected Jimbo's name page to his talk page, his talk page and user page got transfered to my watchlist. When he then redirected your user page to his, your user page got transfered to my watchlist as well. [[Image:Tycon.jpg]]<b>[[User:Coyoty|Coyoty]]</b> 01:40, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, what did I did in ''[[Saw 3]]''? I put some trivia notes to the ''[[Saw 3]]'' page and that's it. A person BEFORE me erased the dedication to [[Greg Hoffman]] and I EDITED it to put that back. I also put some trivia notes in the ''[[Saw 3]]'' page. Why can't I put trivia notes. I mean I could put it in any other article but not ''[[Saw 3]]''? Why? I won't edit until you let me so what will you say?
