Hey! Hope all is well. If you get a chance, could you take a look at I-8? It's at ACR right now, but if you don't have time for a full review, that's okay. It's the most complex article I've done, so I'm a bit unsure about it. --Rschen7754 05:31, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, Moabdave. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
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.

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 Moabdave.
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)

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Administrators must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:59, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi Dave. I noticed you reverted some IP edits about US 50 Business in Carson City. Just to let you know, NDOT did ask for and receive AASHTO approval for a US 50 Business designation on William St/old SR 530 back in spring 2009 (see WP:USRD/AASHTO). However, it's never seen any evidence that this was signed in the field other than the one sign the IP editor found in Street View—and I don't recall having ever seen that sign in person prior to its removal. Based on this, I agree with removing the mention in adjacent articles—the SR 530 article could potentially mention something about the route if the point gets pressed. -- LJ ↗ 14:30, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
You're right, it was here (40.57573, -116.29903). Tom (talk)
Hi Dave. Thanks for that edit on I-80 NV article. But I saw in your edit reason ("Per the SMBook (NDOT reference used throughout this article) there is no US95 Business. As of the 2019 edition the only remaining US BUS route in Nevada is US93BUS inBoulder City") and wanted to clarify it. There are still a few recognized US Business routes in Nevada, which are signed from freeways and at varying degrees along their surface routes. The other routes include US 95 BUS in Las Vegas (cataloged as SR 599), US 395 BUS in Carson City (now locally maintained), and US 395 BUS in Reno (partially SR 430, partially US 395 ALT, and partially locally maintained). US 93 Business in Boulder City is unique in that it's a state-maintained business route cataloged as a US business route number—it seems NDOT disregarded the former practice of giving a separate state highway number to state-maintained business routes (I expected NDOT to catalog the Boulder City route as an extension of SR 172, another SR 17x, or use/revive a low 500 number). It's similar to how there are several signed I-80 BUS loops in Nevada, but you won't find I-80 BUS in the SMH book—any state-maintained portions of these I-80 BUS loops are cataloged by their SR or FR number. -- LJ ↗ 15:56, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey Dave, is U.S. Route 395 a primary route? Is that route popular? Not sure about that. I’ve seen people drive that highway many times. Please reply if I’m wrong. Oh, and I forgot, it existed in the U.S. route system.
Is there any specific reason(s) you marked the page as unreviewed and there was something I missed, or perhaps it was accidental? It appears that you had re-reviewed it shortly after. WaddlesJP13 (talk | contributions) 20:44, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

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)

Can you check the article and determine if the article meets the FA criteria? If it does, please mark it as "Satisfactory" on WP:URFA/2020A. If you have concerns about the article, we hope that you will fix it up or post your concerns on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, please go to the URFA/2020 talk page or ping me.

You probably know your way around the journal better anyway – frankly, I found the above info via a 1998 Usenet message (#12) that I recently rediscovered.
Incidentally, the HMDB page mentioned on the SR 49 talk page is not permissible since the quote in question is not the same as the marker legend, which itself isn't really helpful in said context.

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Wikipedia talk:No original research. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. If you have an issue with an editors conduct bring it up, with evidence, either with them or at ANI. Casting aspersions without evidence, and at other forums, is unacceptable, and it is particularly unacceptable to compare an editors conduct to campaigns like Stop the Steal.
Please strike your comment. BilledMammal (talk) 15:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I've renominated Interstate 40 in Tennessee as an FA candidate again after addressing the remaining outlying comments that I was unable to get to before the first nomination was archived. I've also made a few additional recommended improvements. Bneu2013 (talk) 04:45, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to try one more time to get Interstate 40 in Tennessee to FA status. Since the last review I have made a few improvements. But I was wondering, if I were to nominate right now, would you support the article in its current form? Thanks. Bneu2013 (talk) 06:33, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM))

I'm following up here because the conversation you mentioned this in is now closed. I hope that's the right thing to do? I keep getting wiki etiquette wrong lately.
I hope I've got the right user, were you "Dave" in the discussion on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents?
You mentioned something about a disruptive editor and I think the user who was being discussed is trying to do something similar to what you described on another page.
Two pages were merged by consensus serveal months ago (I'll try to find a link to that discussion), which that user disagreed with, and since then they seem to have been persistently removing material relating to the broader topic that the smaller pages got merged into.
They point to WP:ONUS which in each individual case would be justified, but they remove so much that they make properly discussing it unachievable. They often don't raise a discussion on the talk page, and when they do I've almost never seen more than one person agrees that the material needed to be removed.
They also devise metrics of what counts as notable or relevant, which on the surface sound reasonable, but which seem to be having the cumulative effect of introducing some fairly severe bias to the page, skewing towards the narrower page that got merged into the broader topic.
I think a lot of potentially valuable contributers have given up editing the page, because that one user makes it feel rather futile to add anything.
I can't quite fathom their agenda, I initially presumed it was political, but now I'm really not sure.
