Giants/Vikes tonight. Logged in just to mention, humbly, that I never for a second thought that this game would be meaningful for the midwestern team and not the east coasters. Happy new year to you TC! |01:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Dear Star Mississippi,

Thank you for comments however I would like to point out that's its not advertising or flaming I would like you to re look at the website thegibbriverroad.com and let me know that a website with over 50+ interacting pages..... all of these pages don't sell anything except 4 pages, the rest are a travel and information guide. granted back in January 2015( i just threw the website together casually) back then till now is looks completely different in Jan 2016, but would like you to review your decision based on what the content is today 2016.

I know Calistimon brought up the issue in the past and I rectified it esp for red dog, but lets be serious here these are travel and general information guides, that I do all over Australia, I have had a good working relationship with Wikipedia for over 6 years and donate also.

I just find that if you re look at what I am trying to design these are information and knowledge based websites, not fully fledged selling websites.

Anthony

Hi Anthony, thanks for your note. I'm not sure you understand the role thatexternal links and references are supposed to play on Wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't meant to provide travel guides. There are other Wikis that fill this space well and wehre I think your site would be perfect. Maybewiki travel?StarM23:00, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Star Mississippi. 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 followingthis 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:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification atWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updatinga report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please reviewthe protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Hello,

Please note thatTOTP 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 yourpreferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see thedeveloping 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 thethread on the administrators' noticeboard.MediaWiki message delivery (talk)20:33, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Star Mississippi.

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 atPERM. 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 availablehere but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us atWT:NPR.(Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk)13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response on the AFD. In case it wasn't clear, I'm in no way disagreeing with your decision to take this to AFD rather than leave it at speedy.Meters (talk)20:15, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

You're welcome. I think we're both similarly confused about how this should be handled.StarM

You undid a change I made to the Staten Island Children's Museum page. I did this at a Wikipedia NYC Hackathon at the suggestion of an experienced Wikipedian in attendance; it was my second edit to a Wikipedia change. Both are extremely minor, as I am new and don't want to do anything drastic yet. It seemed clear enough to both of us that the article was no longer a stub, although it not quite complete as it could be. (I was hoping to update it in the future.)

As I said, this was my first day editing Wikipedia. I thought I was helping out with some low-hanging fruit, but apparently even such a simple edit is not welcome.

Together with a very condescending message I received on the Wikipedia NYC Meetup page, my early experience has not been good.

Don't worry about educating my. I am so discouraged that I may never be back.

(talk page watcher)Karen5Lund,the only edit you have ever made toStaten Island Children's Museum was to remove two (obviously correct) categories, which Star Mississippi correctly restored. Are you sure there hasn't been some misunderstanding here? ‑ Iridescent18:10, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

@Karen5Lund: I admit I"m confused, although I intended no offense. As Iridescent noted more quickly than I could respond, the Staten Island Children's Museum is still considered a stub per the guidelines of the museums and (I believe, though I'm not familiar with their guidelines intimately), the NYC projects. I thought you removed them as an accident as you didn't explain your edit with an edit summary, something we use to communicate while we make changes. Your edits to Girl Scout Museum were great, so I hope you do choose to come back. I'm not sure what happened with the NYC Meetup page, but pinging@Pharos: in case there's something he's able to address. If you come back, please feel free to reach out. Also visitWP:Museums, a project that focuses on museums on Wikipedia.StarM02:40, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Go Twins!

I had to find my log in creds just to post to the only Yankee fan I know.

Go Twins! (Currently 3-0 in the first inning of the 10/3 WC game). Things could be terrible for one of us by the time you read this. Hope you are well! |00:38, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

HI! Who expected this earlier this season? Certainly not I. This season has been a pleasant surprise. Hope you're well!StarM03:24, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

GGGGAAAAAWWWWD I hate the yankees. Twins are 0-10 against them in the postseason. Hate hate hate. That said, the twins were def on the pleasant surprise side of things. Once the sting wears off, I'll see that for what it is. But for tonight....damn yankees!!!! |04:08, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

I was seriously worried about "due" for that game, especially with the way it started. Twins are way more than due vs. NYY in post season.StarM03:19, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

You are welcome! 10 years ago, I wasn't even around, but my great predecessors in passing the award, three at the time. Interesting to meet some of the awarded such as you! (Many are long gone.) I was late, I try to do it the anniversary day, but first comes a Featured aticle writer, then a DYK author whose article I reviewed, then someone from the new day, and somedays I just don't get to it. - Every morning I make my little exercise of thanks, and it's a good start in the day, even if taking some time. --Gerda Arendt (talk)06:17, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

This message was sent to all administrators following arecent motion. Thank you for your attention. For theArbitration Committee,Cameron1159802:51, 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 arerequired to "have strong passwords andfollow appropriate personal security practices." We haveupdated 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 anoptional 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, -Cameron1159821:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
