Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on vlswiki, where you are an administrator. Since vlswiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Patrick.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available

but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at

Sortable table and naming

You moved

List of countries and dependencies by area, population and population density. I have never seen a sortable table be used in article naming. Mobile users [1], users without JavaScript, many (nearly all?) reusers and offline uses don't have sorting. Do you know a precedent or discussion about this? I think it should at least have a requested move. I would oppose, especially for such a long name. It also seems odd to name the default sorting last. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:50, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply

]

The old name contained the default sorting order, even though the page allows three sorting orders. Even a simple smartphone can use the regular site instead of the mobile site, with the sorting working fine. The order in the name is that of the columns. A shorter name like de:Liste der Staaten der Erde without mentioning the nice features or the somewhat trivial default sorting in the name is also possible. At least it also provides a distinction with a name such as List of countries and dependencies by area, where "by area" apparently should be interpreted as "only about area". - Patrick (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

D3 group cosets

Hello, Patrick! Can you please check this old edit of yours. I think the right and left cosets are mixed up there. According to GAP (computer algebra system) the right cosets are:

[ (), (1,2) ]

[ (1,3), (1,2,3) ]

[ (1,3,2), (2,3) ] ]

which corresponds to what is named "left" in your edit.Sergei (talk) 03:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Diep

The article Diep has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable film with nothing to support it having its own article. Sourced only to non-WP:RS IMDb, a search turned up nothing better.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be

deleted for any of several reasons

.

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.

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)

Proposed deletion of Child singer

The article Child singer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is, a) a violation of

WP:NOTDICTIONARY and b) not even an accurate definition... There is no appropriate redirect target (Boy soprano might make sense in some cases, ex. Aled Jones

, but very much not in others; and there is no general article about children singing), and while there might possibly be some sources from which to write an actual encyclopedic article, I c) can't find them from a quick search; and d) there's not much content from this that would be helpful in writing a new article anyway, so starting form scratch is probably preferrable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be

deleted for any of several reasons

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.

Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of Henry Danger episodes, you may be blocked from editing. Amaury • 16:27, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This applies more to you, you have even blatantly ignored, and continue to ignore, my explanation in the edit summary "they very much like him to come, the main thing is not the invitation, but that he is willing to come (which was not even mentioned)". If you think my formulation can be improved, you can try to do that, without recreating the omission. - Patrick (talk) 21:29, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've very tangentially mentioned you at the admins' incidents noticeboard ...

... not because you've done anything wrong, but because I've been traipsing through your really old deleted edits trying to find old history to merge, etc. This was inspired by this RFC re text about minor edits that relates to text you originally added way back in 2003. Some of your edits I restored while going through your deleted contributions were old redirects and there's a current admins' incidents noticeboard discussion about deletion/undeletion of these sorts of edits, where I mentioned your username.
