Hello, previously you expressed interest in participating in the Wikipedia:Admin coaching project. We are currently conducting a reconfirmation drive to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to update your status. Also, please remember to update your capacity (5th table variable) in the form of a fraction (eg. 2/3 means you are currently coaching 2 students, and could accept 1 more student). Thank you.

and I hope you're good! - I thought I'd drop you a line with a couple of questions - firstly to see if you had any idea when / if Mediawiki might have RSS capabilities at all... I'm presuming the answer is that it just can't do it, and it's not on the horizon - but it's worth asking anywhooo, I guess. It also leads me to my more cheeky question - which is to see if you would be at all interested in creating notthe.wikipediaweekly.org at all, and maybe hosting an mp3 file or two? - my small efforts in encouraging community chit chat are intended to be complementary to your own esteemed 'round tables' and interviews - and I've had a few emails from people asking about an RSS feed - which I think is a good idea in principle, but lack the clue to implement / deliver.....
give some thought, and let me know if something like kicking in for the hosting costs might be appropriate, or if you've got any questions at all.... cheers - Privatemusings (talk) 02:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is there any level of protection on the article Jimmy Wales, yet there are few other biographies of living persons on Wikipedia that are so protected? Is it because you and Jimmy don't trust the "wiki way" to produce responsible, accountible reference pages related to living people, but you extend the courtesy of "protection" to those who are on the "inside"? It just doesn't seem fair. Like a Chevy salesman who won't let his family drive anything but BMW's. You seem like a hypocrite, just like Jimmy. - Six Eleven (talk) 22:17, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Tawker: With the first sentence, your second edit to that is fine, although I saw no reason to tinker with the sentence in the first place. my mistake I just got mixed up between that and your first edit which wasn't so neutral sounding.
With the second paragraph, it's relevancy is in question, it is not notable, and it is an non-constructive edit. Howcome you didn't bring this up in the discussion page like you are supposed to. You are on wikipedia long enough you should know this.
Also, you added another unqualified edit to the 2008 referendums section. We talked about this didn't we? You and I, I don't understand why you'd go ahead and insert "independent elections administrator." We were talking about this for days but then you try to sneak it in the backdoor. Be upfront and reasonable, let's talk this shit out or the page is going to continue to be crappy, marred by bad grammar, spelling mistakes, and non-neutral language.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Head of Skate, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Head of Skate is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Head of Skate, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Elizabeth Ball, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Elizabeth Ball seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Elizabeth Ball, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

I assume you are the one who deleted the article on Master Nan. I can't understand why you did that as the sources were cited and corrections were made to avoid copyright infringement. Moreover, at the time the only tag on the article was for the article to be cleaned up. All I did was try to reiterate some facts on a famous buddhist scholar and all the work put into it has been deleted in a flash and without warning. I cannot claim to be tech savvy enough to know whether you are directly responsible, but if so, it makes unfamiliar and new contributors like myself have a strong sense of distaste that there is not even the chance for correction. What's the point of trying to establish an article if it keeps on getting deleted before it's done. If you could please give specific reasons why it was deleted as the article was rewritten to avoid copyright infringement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Studydoc (talk • contribs) 14:18, Mar 14, 2007 (UTC).

Dear Tawker,
I understand you have deleted the Handheld Culture page for promotional/advertising reason. I will create another one with proper citation and edited content. Please kindly review. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninisuet (talk • contribs) 16:03, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tawker, I saw you deleted the above page, I assume because of the nomination for Speedy Deletion. As I do agree that the content of the page could be interpreted as advertising (although there were for sure some 'negative' remarks on it and it only contained information what they are doing: nothing in that they are 'the best' or whatever) I still do think that they are notable and a page on that company should be possible on Wiki. Although I did say on the Talk page of that article why I think they are notable (and if they are not then I can find many other ISP's that are having a page on Wiki that can be deleted). Is it possible to give me feedback on the things I brought up on the Talk page (in regards to why I think that this company is notable). Even if you didn't read it before deletion: as Wiki admin/mod you have access to deleted content; so you can read it. Your feedback will be much appreciated.

During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.
Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room.

Thanks for uploading File:Scouts Canada.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:24, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Scouts Canada Camps, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Silver Fox (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

You've repeatedly undone edits as to the constitution of the provincial/regional Councils yet you do not offer even a hint at how the Councils are appointed and leave it unexplained. You claim the BoG/CC does not appoint ANY members of the Councils ... and then to contradict yourself you say BUT. I suggest it is your BUT plus, not only the majority, BUT all Council members that are directly appointed or like the Council Commissioner are ex-officio members by their appointment to other office by the BoG/CC. Please add your explanation of how the members of the Councils are appointed.101.171.42.149 (talk) 01:55, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:West Vancouver NASA World Wind Community Landsat 7.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Tawker,

Hi, thanks for declining the CSD and taking Skweez Media to Afd for discussion. As an admin, can you please, check the Baci Lingerie page also which is tagged with multiple CSD criteria as I do not believe a company which has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources can be eligible for a speedy deletion. I have already contacted the admin[2] who previously deleted it and then re-created with more neutral tone by removing the promotional text pointed out by the admin[3].

Thank you for asking about the page which I think needs notability review. I really appreciate any and all help you can give. On your Google searches of the subject, please be sure to search his name and town of residence as given in the article using a plus sign in between the name and the town. He has very few online references, the name+place search will bring up the only other local reference I've found on the man. The North Coast Journal story as a reference only references that he was in the NYT, nothing new, and the other refs on the page are to RV blogs and product reviews. I don't see notability here, but I have tried to have it deleted and failed. Ellin Beltz (talk) 20:24, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello I understand that you removed the page off ZVL Leiden? May I ask what the reason was for this? ZVL is a sportsteam, competing in the dutch and European competitions, with several national players. They won 3 times in a row the national cup, 2 times the supercup and ended in the final four of the eurocup, to name a few. As I see other waterpolo clubs on wiki as wel (including dutch teams) I wondered what was the reason not to acceprt a page on ZVL. Also because they are also mentioned on other pages. Grasyerba (talk) 07:28, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, ZVL Waterpolo has a website and FB page (both in dutch) and is mentioned on the LEN page (European federation)as competitors in the LEN and Euro league. Also there are several directions on wiki itself to ZVL, for instance with the international players Biurakh Hakhverdian and Iefke van Belkum as wel as on the page with LEN competitors (that is why I originally initiated the page, so there would be more background on that. How can I make clearer that this page is not commercial but only to provide extra information on european and dutch waterpolo? Grasyerba (talk) 07:13, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey, are you sure you meant speedy delete when you closed this? Seems a little out of procedure, especially with no CSD cited. ansh666 19:48, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Don't worry about the criticism, it is not personal. Another admin was put through the ringer over premature posts recently. Had there been at least four supports and no objections and no article issues no one would have objected. I think I am the only oppose, so assuming there's still no issue with the article itself no one will complain if it is posted after a decent interval. μηδείς (talk) 00:10, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
It does raise an interesting point though, is it really more relevant after waiting 12 hours than after waiting 4 or 5?

Hardly a consensus with only 4 editor involved in the discussion. I have seen 6 to 2 votes not considered consensus do to lack of participation. Rammin wanted to go on its merit of what was there. The keep argument was based on the inability of any one to tell if the Japanese source were significant.
User talk:Mystipedian closed this discussion when there was no consensus either and more so than Disk Wars. The original position of it being a section (subarticle) at Marvel Anime should be the result as it was the original position before the argument. Which should be the case or a relisting. I don't know why Mystipedian thinks when he has been registered on WP for only 3 days that qualified him to close AfDs. Spshu (talk) 23:17, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Whats up! You know how I was working on My Jolly Sailor Bold? Well, I need help. Is it allowed to write lyrics in a page? Because the lyrics go like this.......
Upon one summer's morning I carefully did stray Down by the walls of wapping Where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a young lass Who seemed to be in pain, Saying, William, when you go, I fear you'll never return again
My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold, there is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold
His hair it hangs in ringlets His eyes as black as coal My happiness attends him Wherever he may go
From Tower Hill to Blackwall I'll wander, weep and moan All for my jolly sailor Until he sails home
My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold
My father is a merchant The truth I now will tell And In great London City In opulence doth dwell
His fortune doth exceed 300,000 gold And he frowns upon his daughter Who loves a sailor bold
A fig for his riches His merchandise and gold True love has grafted my heart Give me my sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold
Should he return in pov'rty For o'er the ocean far To my tender bosom I'll press my jolly tar
My sailor is as smiling As the pleasant month of May and often we have wandered Through Ratcliffe Highway
Many a pretty blooming Young girl did we behold Recling on the bosom Of her jolly sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold
My name it is Anabel A merchant's daughter fair And I have left my parents And 3,000 pounds a year
Come all you pretty fair maids Whoever you may be Who love a jolly sailor That plows the raging sea
While up aloft in storm From me his absence mourn And firmly pray arrive the day He's never more to roam
My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold — Preceding unsigned comment added by IBCPirates (talk • contribs) 23:49, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I was hoping I could get you to change your mind regarding the speedy deletion of this article. WP:NFOOTY requires that a player not only be signed to but play (i.e. in an actual game) for a fully pro club. Additionally, Ford had already signed for the Sounders two years ago when the last afd took place, so his signing there was taken into consideration. Thanks in advance.

This account of mine is mainly retired and I rarely log in anymore. I saw your note on my talk page about the pending speedy deletion of IMP Group much too late to object. Why was it deleted? It is one of the more longstanding, prominent companies headquartered in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
I have only a vague recollection of the contents of the page, but I believe I wrote only a simple description of their business activities, as well as mention of the 2004 nationally publicized incident when their hotel property in Moscow was illegally seized. I don't think the article had a promotional tone – at least, it didn't the last time I saw it. I am not affiliated with the company in any way and had no reason to advertise it.
Genuinely confused. I don't believe the article met either criteria for speedy deletion that you specified. Sprocket (talk) 12:58, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I was about to create a page for The Kinks song, Live Life, when it said that a page with the same name was deleted by you. I was wondering whether it would be alright for me to create said article. Also, the article was seleted under qualification A7, which "applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works."

You are listed at Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles and since I don't want to inundate the people whose names start with the letter a, I have jumped to the Ts (given my username). I have made a request at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive262#Userfication of deleted and salted content. The article has been deleted through AFD twice and the first time was upheld at DRV. The first version was 49KB readable prose, while the second version was 33KB readable prose. Although many have argued the second was a recreation of the first, two separate admins reversed their own WP:G4 deletions upon further review. It seems that a third admin speedily declined another G4 although I am unable to see the history right now and did not notice this during the second AFD. I have a long history at successful recreations (12 articles now at WP:GA are formerly deleted articles that I have recreated, including "Cat Daddy" which was deleted 4 previous times). The second AFD seems to be an indictment against any future recreation of the article, which is befuddling to me. I would like to learn something from this seemingly odd result. I have requested a userfication that includes history and talk page so that I can investigate policy/guidelines. So far the best userfication offer was by Floquenbeam to restore it for a fixed 2 week expiry. I have stated that 2 months would be more appropriate than 2 weeks because no policy discussion can be guaranteed to conclude within 2 weeks and I have several that I would like to pursue. Floquenbeam, has stated his hesitance is based on assumptions of bad faith regarding my intentions and that I have made a phantom "refusal to agree not to bug people about tagging or edits they made to the article prior to deletion" which I never made (I was actually concerned about the 2 week expiry and forgot to assent to the request). I am unable to discuss things with Floquenbeam who has not edited in 3 days (since 20:43, 28 May 2014). As a frequent recreator of content, I would like a chance to become a better editor by examining the various policies related to this outcome with the content available for illustration and instruction.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:22, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Tawker, I would appreciate your review of these notes in response to Wiki committee's concerns re: Mary Elise Hayden's page (created in 2007). Thank you, Page Originator
RE: NACTOR
Although American, Mary Elise Hayden played Kate's sister Pippa Middleton in WILLIAM AND KATE, which aired on Lifetime. Whether or not it is "an underwhelming TV movie," as a reviewer suggested, it remains that Hayden played a noteworthy figure. When the movie aired, Hayden's Wiki page received over 100,000 hits April-June 2011 as people were interested in finding out about the actress who played Pippa. (Please see traffic stats from that period. The page continued to receive hits from interested searchers until its removal.)
Hayden has had 2 film leads in two award-winning features. Moreover, her specific lead performance in WE ARE THE MODS was lauded in Hollywood's premier entertainment magazine VARIETY by film critic Peter Debruge as well as in FILMMAKER MAGAZINE, THE EDGE/Boston, THE PHILLY CITY PAPER, among others.
Hayden has had 2 recurring roles in prominent shows on ABC (10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU and RAVENSWOOD).
Hayden guest-starred on A&E's LONGMIRE last night, June 9, 2014.
Hayden has appeared in over 40 music videos, many of these leads for major musicians, has had lead and supporting roles in many shorts, both experimental and traditional, along with other TV shows/films and live performances.
Of the 6 million people listed on IMDB, Mary Elise Hayden is ranked among the top .0025 (1/4%).
RE: Documentation As I can no longer see the listing, it is difficult to determine which citations are problematic. Insufficient ones could be updated.
RE: PR In essence, biographical articles on any online site could be considered PR by their very nature as those searching learn about individuals and their achievements. This listing is no different re: potential PR than any other. If something is offensive, however, I would be happy to remove it.
RE: Page Creation Page originators of living actor pages not created by Wiki editors are often written by management or public relations sources (possibly even by the actor himself or herself when that was permitted) as they are most familiar with the actor's history. Wikipedia's call for content creation at its inception inspired the original page, not PR. It was not created until there was something noteworthy to include in the article. Since that time, as the talent continued to garner critical and public recognition, facts about the subject were added as indicated above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fltola (talk • contribs) 21:07, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

I note that you deleted the Institute of Refrigeration page on 19 April - I found this out on 25 April when looking for some information and immediately contacted "Launchballer" who had flagged the article for deletion. Launchballer has confirmed to me that this is because he thought that the page was a repeat of the page for the International Institute of Refrigeration, which is not the case. He also suggested that the page was an advertisement, in contravention of the rules for content (G11) with the comment "what makes it notable?"
The Institute of Refrigeration is not the same as the International Institute (which is an intergovernmental body headquartered in Paris). It is a learned society and is the oldest refrigeration institute in the world, founded in 1899. It is internationally recognised as a thought-leader in refrigeration technology and has members all over the world. It is a registered charity operating on a not-for-profit basis. If this constitutes grounds for deletion then I suggest that other pagers (for example the Wikimedia Foundation or the Institution of Mechanical Engineers) should also be deleted.
Please reinstate the page - it does not contravene any of Wikipedia's guidelines. It is notable and it is not an advertisement.

Hi, I have put up a new version of Peter Deunov, which was deleted during April. As I said in my comment, there are not many reliable sources in English, but the initial motivation for the delete seems to me unjustified, because (a) Peter Deunov didn't create a "sect of Steinerism" and (b) he really was a notable Bulgarian figure, and so definitely deserves a Wikipedia page. However, I agree the previous version of the article was very poor, and this new version tries to be proportional to the references. I would be happy to discuss the article if you wish, but I don't think it warrants a delete anymore. Quartz (talk) 14:14, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Tawker. 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.

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 Tawker.
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) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article IFHT is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IFHT until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Derek Andrews (talk) 23:31, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Hey, one of the pages I created named 'Syed Shah Abdul Haq Gilani' was recently deleted after nomination for speedy deletion. This person who nominated it for speedy deletion had no sort of know-how on the subject and accepted the fact too. It is a request if the page is restored or the content's emailed to me for improvement so I could make a new page regarding the same person.
Thanks! Zaydbinumar (talk) 06:34, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

The article Dylan Stephen Jayne has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-Notable topic.
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))

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 02:46, 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)

You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.
