Why did you remove my mention of the issue of Cayman engine failures? That is common knowledge as is most of the article. The mention of forums was not as a source but as a place to find additional information. I ask that you visit those many forums if you would like to learn more or Google "Cayman engine failure". There is no reason for Wikipedia, per se, to hide this information. I doubt that Porsche will provide numbers of failures to substantiate. Thanks.
Hello,
you deleted http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SMErobot&action=edit&redlink=1 a while ago, but this article should be listet here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_Union_robotics_projects and the project got a) good feedback from public / articles, research community and politicians b) a follow-up project so that I do not understand why you deleted the page (ThiloZimmermann (talk) 08:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC))
Not for nothing, but in reviewing your edits on that page, I noticed that it muddied the information. The reversion and revisions seemed to clarify. 69.113.168.79 (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Thought I'd settle to rest your unsavory doubts about Oxbridge and London. If statistics is any measure of greatness, then none comes close to Oxford, Cambridge and London. I'd say all the 4.0 gpa americans from america's best universities seeking another degree at Oxford, Cambridge and/or London pretty much proves my point and destroys yours. Would you like to provide better all-around and all-time verifiable statistical evidence yourself to counter that statement of fact? If you can't, then you have nothing to contribute.

Hi,
You have removed the MAIN aspect of what the mdvanii artwork is albout ....19 gay issues as a precedent in a doll/artwork
2) use of real haute couture....
this phrase is essential I think to express in brief the main aspect of what the work is about and known for
in Paris, France. She was made in a matt Caron make-up toned hard resin and 25 centimeters tall. She was the first anatomically-correct fashion doll with an adult (non-parody) storyline including homosexual, lesbian and bisexual personality traits. She was presented with a wardrobe of high fashion clothes made in France with identical construction as human-scale clothes
Shall I put it elsewhere?
Thank yu for the help and understanding. 83.76.202.171 (talk) 22:27, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Good day sir,
We have vastly improved the article I believe and others have contributed alot which is good but I feel this below is totally absurd.....
someone left this: This article may not meet the general notability guideline. Please help to establish notability by adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic. If notability cannot be established, the article is likely to be merged, redirected, or deleted. (January 2011)
It's totally inappropriate and quite absurd...I get the impression, people are being anti-gay and leave these things just to be annoying....since I don't dare move it myself....can you help get it off? Its really totally gratuitous. There are 63 major articles on this piece and we intend to add more citations,(it does take a while to find, read and review and add the citations) .....what more do people want? Can you please help!? thank you, Blanderàmort (talk) 17:51, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
ps: It seems this user joined wiki just to add this comment....totally not appropriate warning in my opinion. I am not clear what a gnome actually does and it's hard to follow the explanation for me....is this user a legitimate wiki user or a vandal? Thank you for your help and input Blanderàmort (talk) 18:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the help with cleanup of the Guy Bavli BLP article. I had posted to Wikipedia:COIN#Guy_Bavli about removing the coi tag (as well as a previous COIN post in november 2010). The article is also listed in my COI declaration. It may be that the article requires more cleanup. If you have any WP:NPOV cleanup issues that any conflicted editor is disagreeing with, then I'd agree a coi tag would be appropriate. However, I havn't heard of any disagreements, so would suggest that the tag be removed. Thanks. Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 17:34, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be no way of changing the lead image in Lincoln Continental. It should be flexible within reason.
As for editors calling me names, I'm not responsible for that.
Sadowski (talk) 02:50, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
I sincerely appreciate the offer for mediation, however I'll have to decline. As I've tried in vain to make clear to him, I do not yet have any opinion on the dispute over the lead image, which seems to be the beef he has with the article. I have no content-based conflict with him (yet, all that stuff he put on the GM fullsize pages is going to come to a head eventually). I simply warned him that disruption to prove a point will not be tolerated, and he responded with baseless accusations. I know I should have tempered my response and not fed the troll, however, being accused of "advertising" and "promotion" is one of those few things I will not accept from any editor, let alone one with that big of a chip on his shoulder.
Considering that he appears to be content to dig himself further into a hole (or leave altogether) I'll end my participation in this, and remove that article from my watchlist if it comes down to that. I have a feeling he'll find someone else to do the same to though. --Sable232 (talk) 03:02, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm a slave to history.
I don't think I will be a trouble to the Wikipedia entries on large automobiles. I'm a force for good.
I have already corrected the entries with regard to Cadillac (see what I've already done) and what I've already done is in general agreement with Krause's Standard Catalog of American Cars series.
Somebody had to start correcting the massive amount of missinformation in Cadillac. And I'm happy to do it for free.
I have no beefs with anybody who loves large old American cars and those who are similarly minded will love me (be it Cadillac, Lincoln, Imperial or whatever).

Hi Daniel. By mistake I created Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept car, when the right name should have been Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept. I couldn't do the move by myself because I had already created the latter as a redirect before I realized my mistake. Would you be so kind to do this move as an admin. Thanks.--Mariordo (talk) 19:25, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Daniel. In the end I did not have as much time available as I had expected to work on the list of issues for green cars, but I will work on it soon. Nevertheless, I would like your feedback on the changes I did in the lead of the article electric car, see the diff here. You can leave your comments in the talk there, I opened a section for that purpose as this article has a lot of traffic, its content is not very stable and has some regular editors at both sides of the spectrum, so edits related to the actual benefits of electric cars are often very contentious. Thanks.--Mariordo (talk) 17:35, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Daniel. I will appreciate if you can take a look at the Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent article. As a result of one new user pushing his POV and OR, I decided to ramp up the article, and not only provide RS but also to provide context. The well-to-wheels section is still subject of edit waring with the new user, so your assessment in the Talk will be greatly appreciated. I will follow your recommendations.

Who are you to delete my edit on ART BELL. Do you know him or his family as I do? Did you verify that he had not passed? Did you talk to his wife? Were you by his bed side as I was when he died? And when I left the room you came in and saw that he had come back to life, therefore you keep deleting that he has Died. I think not. I will be taking this to head of Wikipedia.

Dear Moderator,
Kindly remove the pictures of Falsely claimed Pictures of Prophet Muhammad. It has come to my notice today and as a contributor to WikiPedia , I would like to request for the immediate removal of the pictures. The source from where the pictures are taken is not a valuable source as I have come to conclusion. Kindly take action on this. It will really offend people following Islam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alwasif (talk • contribs) 21:56, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
KellyHeyn and 143.85.199.241 (who seem to be the same person) have been adding a large amount of copy/pasted text from other sites to the articles Program Executive Office Command Control Communications Tactical and Project Manager Battle Command. You noticed the COI and POV issues on Program Executive Office Command Control Communications Tactical, putting the appropriate templates on the page. Because of that, and because you have a mop -- and thus have a better understanding of policy and whatnot than I -- I'm asking you for help with this.
I'm not entirely sure what to do about this. If you note from KellyHeyn's talk and the past history of one of the pages, I previously reverted the edits, warned the user, and discussed it with him, and he seemed to stop. But now he's back and doing it again, and I'm not sure if I should revert the edits, or report this to a noticeboard, or what? A reading of the policy on copyright violations would suggest that I add a copypaste template to the pages... and I've done that, but it doesn't seem like enough somehow. But at the same time, something in the back of my head tells me I may now be a little too invested to keep an objective outlook on this, and that's usually a cue to stop and ask for assistance, which is what I'm doing. So help me, if necessary, please -- and please tell me what I should do next time I come across something like this, so I don't have to bother someone else next time I'm confused. Thanks!

I don't know that I agree with "Career" as a topic, since initial paragraph includes much of Mr. Prendergast's work.
Also think that Big Brothers is important, as as a big brother, Mr. Prendergast met his "little brother" with whom he co-authored his most recent book, Unlikely Brothers and represents his character.
Re working in Africa for over 25 years, supports legitimacy.
Think, too, that best-selling author is important, as it is part of his life.
Let me know what you think.
Do you feel comfortable removing the tag now?

Hello Daniel, Thanks for the note about my last revision of the Reader's Digest page. I'm a consultant with Reader's Digest, the brand, and after reading the Reader's Digest Wikipedia entry, at least one media oulet has been confused on what and who Reader's Digest is. You're probably aware that Reader's Digest is not just the magazine and that's what I'm trying to communicate in the revision as well as correcting any inaccuracies and adding new information. Like most publishers today, Reader's Digest the brand and Reader's Digest the magazine are heading into digital territory - not only making their current product available to the digital community, but adding new products and services enabled by technology. I'd like to be able to create a revised entry that distinguishes the different pieces of Reader's Digest so that all who use Wikipedia will have a clearer idea of who and what the company is and what it does. Reader's Digest, the brand, has its name on a lot of products and is undergoing a transformation and they want to make sure this is clear to readers. The magazine is published 10 times per year, rather than monthly and this month's issue is available on iPad and expected to be on Blackberry Playbook in the future. I also suggest that the image of the Reader's Digest print magazine cover be updated monthly. I can share a jpeg with you for the current print issue. Please let me know how you suggest moving forward to post these clarifications. Thanks, Michael Penn Mpmedia1 (talk) 15:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply Daniel. I'll review guidelines, etc. and figure out where to go from there. Michael Mpmedia1 (talk) 20:12, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Daniel - if it's not there already, and if it's not too much trouble, can you add the foregoing to your watchlist?

Hi Daniel. I would like your help as an admin regarding the Focus BEV article. As you might remember the merge proposal discussion was closed with keep the article.

Daniel. It is my understanding you like the Natchez, Mississippi. I did a lot of wana-be historian work in Natchez and feel the page on Wki needs lots of work, but over time. My first edit was to add the book of my Thesis advisor, Ron Davis. The man has studied the city for some 40 years and was not on the book list. The city is so rich in history and a better job can be done. any ideas on where to start? As you have mentioned your name mine relly is Shane Shane505 (talk) 03:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for adding the newpage tag to the article. While many articles with this tag will end up deleted, it is refreshing to see someone be nice to a new editor. Unfortunately, it happens way, way, way to infrequently. Bgwhite (talk) 00:54, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
I appreciate the bold editing to Mary Cunningham Agee, although I wish you had noted the extensive list of issues laid out on the Talk page and joined in. Arguably, that is too much process for what should be a simple task, but with an editor who may have a strong view about the content, I was trying to bend over backwards and show how collaborative editing worked. (Ironically, I think the editor in question didn't know about the talk page; the editor contacted me a few minutes ago because there seemed to be no progress.)--SPhilbrickT 02:25, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, the reason I marked the statement about 1980s+ income inequality for POV is that it's presented out of context. There's no reason given as to why 1980 was a turning point - and that leads me to question the POV of the approach used. Obviously a common concern is that Reaganomics harmed the economy and resulted in greater income disparity. If that's the concern, then it needs to be explicitly mentioned in the article! Leaving the readers with decontextualized statistics doesn't explain anything, and it only leaves the door open to bias.
My problem is not with the reliability of the source, which most likely presents accurate information based on thorough research. What's missing are the other sources - the ones that mention improvements or simply neutral adjustments that have happened since 1980. Instead of honestly addressing these other factors, they're brushed off without a second thought:
Instead of giving employment, productivity, or median income a consideration, the focus is almost entirely on one economic measure (income inequality). In an article that's already quite long, a discursive rant about the various indicators of increasing income inequality since 1980 is out of place. The fact that the article goes on to praise economic growth under a Democratic administration ("The longest economic expansion in modern U.S. history—from March 1991 to March 2001—encompassed the Bill Clinton administration") certainly does not lend the article credibility. If we all infallibly believed that Reagan damaged the economy and Clinton improved it we, of course, wouldn't need sources in the first place. Instead, we can agree that the reader should make his/her own decisions, and that starts with presenting the full picture. Pengkeu (talk) 17:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

How does one go about offering new information and new research? I edited a post that said there was no research on a subject - by providing the research that was said not to exist. I don't want to "edit war" just provide the research. I've been researching acupuncture for a paper for my anatomy class and thought I'd add the sources and information I had found. So... how can I go about doing that on the Acupuncture page? There are clinical trials that I'd like to add the sources for.

Hi Daniel,
I really appreciate your help with editing the article on John Stango that I recently overhauled. I wanted to see if you suggest any further changes, and also at what point the neutrality message can be removed. Thanks again for your help. (Wikiforyou82 (talk) 19:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC))
Hi again Daniel,
I just posted this on the John Stango discussion page. I hope that you can help me to move forward with improving this article. Thanks very much.
Hi everyone. I am happy to clear up the issues voiced here. As for the Coro article--that was my first stab at editing a Wiki. I am not employed by or even associated with Coro. I read about them in a college class and found that their article was lacking. As for the John Stango piece, I am John's cousin. After talking with him on numerous occasions, I noticed that his Wiki did not reflect his actual role in the art world or the type of work that he does. I hoped to remedy that by incorporating the sources you see and information from conversations with him. I am very open to making this a legitimate article and would like to know how best to proceed. I did my best to use information that could be backed up by references. Again, please let me know what else I can do. As a newbie editor, I am still figuring out how all of this works.

Dear Daniel,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 02:48, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Daniel, you deleted the page of Manchester-based independent publisher Comma Press (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_Press) in July last year due to "unambiguous advertising or promotion". What happened was that somebody who did work experience with the press accidentally copied over some promotional quotes from the website without realising that this was not customary for a wikipedia page. Like other presses, such as Carcanet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcanet_Press), it would be great to be given the opportunity to list the history, location and many authors associated with the Press on Wikipedia in a purely factual manner. Is it possible to re-instate the page for editing? It would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.204.26 (talk) 14:26, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

There are serious grammar issues in the text you are attempting to add, which make it very difficult for someone to understand what you are saying. Perhaps if you added it one section at a time it would be easier for someone like myself to fix it for you. I think part (or all) of the conflict here is grounded in language. Are you using some form of machine translation? --Daniel 17:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Daniel, I don't know what to do with Cybershore. I have never seen such an uncooperative editor in my life. No matter how many times his additions are reverted, he add them back again, over and over. And talking to him on the talk page is impossible. Look at his latest reply: [6] Who will ever read that? No one. He has again added his text to the article about Brazil, even though it is redundant and has wrong information.[7] I'd like to ask you to do something. If that's not possible, my next step will be to go the ANI to report him. --Lecen (talk) 10:59, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Daniel. For the last three years Cybershore has been trying, over and over, to add detailed information about the Brzilian early republican period. It's always the same information and it's always the same text in the article's talk page. Three years. That's either persistence or somekind of od behavior. Regardles, during this period no one has supported him and everyone has tried to make him understand that the history section of a country's article is supposed to be short and straightfoward. He has been blocked before precisely because of this weird behavior. I'm tired of hearing him say "spurious quotations" and you seem to be the only who cares. I won't get involved on this anymore, but I'd like to warn you that had Cybershore been an specialist in Brazilian history, he would have been writing articles about it. He hasn't. This is the only thing he does here. For three years. --Lecen (talk) 12:33, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Daniel,
I hope this gives us a chance to discuss my edits to the Microsemi page. I work for the company and noticed the incorrect information, which I'm just trying to correct. I realize we can't take stuff down just because we don't like it. But the goal for all of us is to be accurate, right?
Regarding the ProAsic3 issue, the claim that the “backdoor” cannot be disabled is false and since those old reports came out other reports have disputed how reports ran with incorrect information--including the backdoor and that they were Chinese-made (which they were not but that's not publicly available information). First, Microsemi's test interface is always disabled in practice, and can be disabled by several mechanisms, such as “permanent lock” mode, which is well described in the company's literature. Furthermore, the two media references cited don’t mention that it couldn’t be disabled, so the statement is not supported by the references given.
I hope this helps. If there are other details people want posted about this topic that's fine but I will be watching to ensure they stop putting false information on this page. Please let me know if you have any questions or guidance if I'm not editing properly.
Thank you! BPQ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpq (talk • contribs) 15:56, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

This page seems to be frequently altered by socks making minor edits to downplay Belfort's criminal history - adding such things as "former" to "white collar criminal". User Copycat2012 (new account, this is the only edit) did just that, I've manually removed rather than reverting as there were other edits in between.

He's back again, and repeately adding the word "former" to "white collar criminal" - Copycat2012 is clearly a sock puppet of whoever made the previous edits to the Jordan Belfort page, as he makes reference to previous discussions, none of which included anyone by that username. Your own edits have removed "former", and I have since removed it as well, although not reverted so as to keep intervening edits. Splorksplorksplorksplork (talk) 04:44, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Daniel, User:Splorksplorksplorksplork has filed a report against User:Copycat2012 at WP:ANEW. Copy admits to being User:Reaction93 and says he forgot his password and therefore created a new account. That said, there is no linkage between the two accounts (see WP:DG). The edit-warring allegations are clearly stale and there's been no breach of WP:3RR even when the warring was going on. However, based on the history, Copy's edits seem very clearly disruptive to me.
You blocked Reaction back in 2009, and you've edited the Belfort article as recently as August of this year on precisely the same issue that is being fought about now. That probably makes you involved on the present matter, but I'd still appreciate your thoughts if you feel comfortable giving them. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:04, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Yes I understand the problem. I tried not to copy it word per word because I guess I was just super angry about the bad references and incorrect information. I fixed it up a little more and changed the information around to make it more original. I didn't completely plagerize it in the beginning but I did fix and add and delete lots of my edits. I completely undertsand the fixture of words and the compounds of the sentences that must be rearranged into an original paragraph. My adopter has not yet spoken to me but she will. Hopefully on our adoption page not on mine. I'm sorry, and I agree 100% that words and components in a referable source must be changed to state the correct information without plagerization. I wanted to hurry up and edit it because there was a user(s) who accused me of using Wikipedia as a social network and that I had to edit something or I'd (probably) be blocked. I was afraid of this and looked at an article that I had information on and an article that had incorrect information and bad cites. So I saw an infamous dog breed that I could work on into making a better article with. I completely understand the consequences that I must face. Thank you for the warning and the calm, kind, and not hurtful way to tell me what I did. Thank you so much. (NOT SARCASM)! Thanks for embarrasing me a little. (NOW I'M USING SARCASM) Again, thanks for the warning and not the immediat penalty. You don't even KNOW how much that means to me. And now that user knows why I'm scared to edit.

Hi Daniel- I apologize for adding text that you edited out. I thought that I somehow deleted that copy when making a minor change. The $10.000.000 (and growing) art funds collected by Kline's art plate design is referenced by a link that goes directly to the state of Florida highway Safety and Motor Vehicles official website (governing body for all specialty plates in Florida). On this page is a link that goes to yearly revenue reports that adds up to over $10,000,000 for the art plate. I have many published articles since it's conception in 1995 that chronicles the fund as it has increased. I feel it is relevant because 1) it was done pro bono, and 2) it's success relates to the artist's design. The fact that the money from the plate goes to support the arts relates as well. Having read many Wikipedia pages, I am aware that other artists (Paul Newman the most obvious) have an entire section addressing philanthropy. The lithographs Kline has donated to dog rescues worldwide, and the money they have raised, also speak of the artist's character, as well as his talent. I appreciate the opportunity to present my point of view. paintu12 Paintu12 (talk) 22:46, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
While certainly how the article was when you first nominated might have you be initially skeptical of notability, the topic of this film has been the recipient of enough widespread commentary and analysis to meet WP:NF.[8][9] We do not judge an improvable article upon current state but instead by sources available for improvements... whether they are used right away or not.

I'm not a frequent editor on Wikipedia, but I am a writer and did minor in Journalism so I do have some academic training in citation guidelines. I'm also familiar with Wikipedia's rules and regs. I'm curious about the consistent undoing of edits I've made to the craniosacral therapy page. I've been studying biases to research which validates various CAM techniques, and this page has become something of a case study. You cannot state that there is a settled scientific consensus on CST, and I've done my best to provide evidence from journals of osteopathic, pediatric and gerontological medicine for starters. These citations have been systematically removed, along with the more balanced statements I've contributed (e.g., "There is no consensus on the effectiveness of CST") which do not eliminate but stand alongside previous statements on the page (e.g., that some medical researchers have concluded the modality is "pseudoscience" and "quackery"). If there is a different approach you believe I should take to make these edits on behalf of the public, please explain.Consciouscopy (talk) 18:09, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Not sure why you hacked up a couple of sentences on the article about me. After hacking, it seems you could not then find "the subject" in the source. The source was about there being several billion CMOS image sensors shipped each year (i.e., cameras -the only place they are used). I agree it is dicey for the subject of the article to fix the article, but I waited to see if someone would do it and after a few years, I thought I ought to add sources and update the article myself. Tell me what needs a source and I will provide it. I identified myself as the one making particular updates. Next time maybe Wikipedia prefers I get someone else to do it anonymously? Seems silly.

Daniel, as an editor who worked on the Corvette leaf spring article a while back I wanted to ask your advice. Recently the Project Automobiles effort decided to redirect the page to the Corvette article and effectively blank the content[[12]]. While I can see merit in the claim that it doesn't need to be a stand alone article, I disagree that the content should simply be blanked. The article has been referenced by Edmund's among others to explain the leaf spring setup used on the Corvette. I think that is sufficient to justify that the material has merit. My question is how would you suggest keeping that content in Wikipedia? Thanks for your thoughts.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Daniel J. Leivick.
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 here 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 WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

The article Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:GNG for not including any references to significant coverage in reliable sources.
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.
