Promo
Hi, I am concerned that your userspace is being used for promotion of someone with whom you work. I know you have declared a COI recently but, surely, the place for this information is the talk page of the article on the subject, where people can review whether or not to include it in the article itself? That is permitted under

The article Bicycle (film) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non notable film with no coverage as to why it should have its own article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Donaldd23 (talk) 20:12, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Nomination of Bicycle (film) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bicycle (film) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Randi
Google doesn't reveal any reports of Randi dying. Do you have a reference? Moriori (talk) 21:18, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Hello, Brad!
I noticed that on your userpage, you mentioned practicing law in Washington. However, the link you provided leads to a disambiguation page instead of a more specific location, like Washington, D.C. or Washington (state). It seems like this might be an oversight, I kindly suggest considering a correction. --QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 13:01, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
