Hello. Why are you uploading HTML files? -- Notheruser 03:47, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Dear Notheruser,

I have difficulty getting a "free" homepage on the net! So I figure out this might be a nice place for my "little" htmls.

Oh! Is "angelfire" and such always busy?

Anthony.

 * In my opinion, most free hosting is subpar, at best. Although, I did have some success with Freewebs a while back; it's ad-free too. You might want to move your pages to that host as using Wikipedia for personal storage is looked down upon (there's also the chance of the pages being deleted). Regards, Notheruser.

Sorry, but I don't think these pages are going to be allowed to stay. They are not part of an encyclopedia article. I have listed them on Votes for deletion. They will be listed there for a week if you want to go and comment. Angela 23:15, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a free hosting provider (see #15 in linked list). These files will be deleted.—Eloquence 23:25, Aug 1, 2003 (UTC)

Hi. The stuff you added at Chigorin doesn't have anything to do with Chigorin (either the player or the variation of the Ruy Lopez), so I've listed it on Votes for deletion. If you're going to stick around, I suggest you have a look around at some other articles to get some idea of how we try to write around here - we don't sign articles, and, as an encyclopaedia, we try to make them impersonal in other ways too. You might want to have a look at Welcome, newcomers. Any questions, you can post them to the bottom of the Village pump. --Camembert

Hi, please try and write in a more encyclopedic fashion. That is Dysprosia 04:57, 10 Aug 2003 (UTC)
 * try not to use first person. In your chess articles, it will be more encyclopedic to call yourself in these games "White" or "Black" in discussion.
 * encyclopedic introductory sections: "Dear Ladies and Gents" is hardly becoming of an encyclopedia :) A brief discussion of the topic you wish to deal with will suffice.

Dear Notheruser,

Many thanks for recommending Freewebs for me! I've successfully logged on to the Angelfire for my homepages and blogs also!

Anthony.

Dear Dysprosia,

Well, many thanks for reminding me this is an encyclopedia for all! I'll take up your advice for putting a brief summary at the top and try to make it more formal!

Anthony.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Benoit. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Benoit~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:34, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 10:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Not Happy
I didn't know about this "global rename" and I don't really care for it. How was the renaming determined? Who had precedence? /annoyed

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Improving Wikipedia bibliographies
In case you're still interested, I responded to your Talk:Bibliography question. Hopefully Wikipedia will have a more standardized bibliographical format soon! --J. J. 20:20, 2005 August 24 (UTC)

Hallo Colin,

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nrpscrest.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nrpscrest.gif. 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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 06:26, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Are you having fun yet? You are right on with the escarpment crossings - sorry. Please check my latest changes to the CPR connection to the former New York Central main line across southern Ontario.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

 * !$K%&!LK#!&!!!! I'm testing some of the RFEs for media upload, and I was also updating some stuff on Wikipedia at the same time... and I accidentally uploaded a file to Wikipedia instead of on my local server! Terribly sorry! Please delete -- if it's not obvious, it's a blatant copyvio.

Point Reyes
Hi Evan - I see you have Point Reyes national seashore on your ToDo list. I've just put up a rather stubby article about it - can you improve it? The wretched National Park Service site has crashed so I can't get official info at the moment, which hasn't helped. seglea 07:51, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Re: Categorization Suggestion
Hi, in response to your dismissive note, I suppose you did not see the re-direct to the dedicated page. My fault, I forgot to update the links on the Categorization pages in wiki and meta. I fixed that. The page is User:Brent Gulanowski/Categorization. If you did read it, then I don't understand your questions at all, since I was very specific and even provide an algorithm which is meant to show that the system could evolve naturally and need not be stuctured top-down like tree-based systems. Brent Gulanowski 21:37, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I put some specific questions on User talk:Brent Gulanowski/Categorization. I think my main question is: how is your proposal different from other categorization proposals? Have you read other categorization proposals? --ESP 21:51, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I will look there. Your question "how is it different?" is meaningless. Any reader of two proposals should be able to understand the difference themselves. I wrote one because I have not found one which was logically coherent or based on any kind of conceptual theory. Brent Gulanowski 06:02, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * OK, so, I don't particularly feel compelled to take your proposal seriously, then. --ESP 17:31, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * This is a very strange conversation. Did it occur to you that I have no idea who you are or what your responsibilities are? I don't recall imposing anything on you in the first place, thus your defensive posture is very confusing. The simplest thing you could have done was to say, "Here are some other proposals under discussion. Read them and then revise yours so that it adds something. BTW, I'm Evan and I care because ..." However, you began by making accusations. How about an encouraging response to a new wikipedian instead of an alienating one?

 * I have added a very large, detailed addendum to the proposal, on the talk page. If if fact you have some kind of stake in this, if you will be so kind as to provide links to other information and suggestions or anything whatsoever, I will read them and rewrite my proposal taking them into consideration. Brent Gulanowski 19:51, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I'm one of the MediaWiki developers. I'm working on field-value pairs, and one of the implementations of this is categorization using field-value pairs. My interest in this is that you added your proposal to the list of proposals on categorization, but it not only wasn't parallel with the other proposals -- since it didn't emphasize implementation -- but I also didn't see much in it that wasn't encompassed in all the other proposals around.

 * If you're serious about seeing categorization implemented in MediaWiki, you may want to extract the valuable pieces of your personal proposal and combine them into the categorization requirements. --ESP 19:59, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * I added ten or so more. I hope they are helpful. I might be able to come up with more or refactor these if requested. Brent Gulanowski 04:20, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Warbox
So sorry! I didn't know about the first time. I just figured since they'd been added to the other u.s.-related wars I would normalize and update. Our--and by our I guess I mean me ;)--standing policy is "This is an attempt to translate the battlebox format to a warbox format for U.S.-related wars. Do not force this box on pages where the users reject it. It is encouraged, but totally optional, and will often not work perfectly with a specific conflict--WWII, for example, would be difficult to fit into this paradigm." Anyway, my bad. I just thought the first guy who did it had missed a couple. jengod 18:22, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)

 * P.S. I added a note to Talk:Military history of the United States specifically saying not to add to the Barbary Wars pages. If anyone else comes by, just remove and then send 'em over there. jengod 18:28, Mar 16, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

UDHR
Hi EvanProdromou. I've just reverted-out the changes you made to the UDHR article back on Sept 15th. The GBR 'most translated' statement is (unfortunately) a complex issue with many people advocating different wordings and reasons for keeping/removing the statement, in various forms -- please see the Talk page discussion on this issue. I wish we could find a way of wording this which would satisfy everyone; maybe I'll write the Guinness people directly and ask them. :( Cheers, Madmagic 05:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I've done it several times and not had a good response. I've altered your revert; please see the Talk page for the UDHR, where this kind of discussion should probably take place. --ESP 14:54, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi again Evan. I was very glad to see your most recent changes to the UDHR article (your edit of 14:45 on September 19, 2005.) I really hope your wording of the issue will satisfy everyone, it's entirely fine with me. As I've just noted on the Talk page of the article. :) Thanks also for mentioning your experience with writing the Guiness folks. Cheers, Madmagic 04:23, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks, you were quite right about the form. Strictly speaking, a candidate need not answer the questions - but it is highly unlikely that anyone could be promoted without having done so. BD2412  T 20:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! --

RE: UN French à la UN English
Hi Evan! Glad to see you're in Montreal, too!

Actually, I'm even happier that you brought up the UN/Académie française query. It is extremely pertinent and deserves investigation. When I was studying translation at NYU, we had the discussion about English at the UN (since there were two UN translators/interpreters as teachers in the program). It involved regional differences, unnatural English for any English-speaking country and British Imperialism.

I can't see the same type of debate for U.N. French. First, the norms in most French speaking countries are pretty much identical, aside from regional terms and major feminization in Québec. However, all French-language media outside of Paris try to align themselves with Paris media norms to a large extent, hence the term "français international". Upshot: there isn't much of an issue. So, in terms of a standard, the issue is more feminization, which has even caused scandals in France.

Then, the real question is, as you wrote, WHAT/WHO does the UN use for French? All I can say is that they don't really think about it and have certainly not adopted the Académie's spelling reforms from the past 100 years. Aside from that, I don't see any urge/need to use the A.F. as a reference. Dictionaries take up that role already. CJ Withers 20:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Confusion
ESP Moved conversation back to User talk:Big Adamsky.

Barbary States
Did you even read the definition of Kleptocracy? That is not what it means. There is no reason to refer to them as Kleptocracies even if they robbed every country on the planet so long as their internal structure was adverse to internal corruption. Firstly, use words you know the meaning of. Secondly, did you even look at the talk page to discuss your edit? For God's sake I did not just run amok all over the article without forethought, and there is no reason for you to revert without the same kind of forethought. I did not mark my edit as minor, and you shouldn't have either. Angrynight 17:03, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

User:Lepercaun
Hi Evan, no problem at all, you saved me the trouble of going to WP:AIV! Regards, Accurizer 21:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Evan,
I saw your name in my watchlist (Democide). I bet you've been told before that your name sounds terribly Greek! It's the genitive case of Pródromos-Πρόδρομος (genitive ends in -ou, so Prodrómou-Προδρόμου is for <>), meaning literally "forerunner's". So that would aim to make you "the son of the forerunner". Prodromos is a familiar appellation for John the Baptist in the Greek Orthodox Church (Ágios Ioánnis o Pródromos - also John the Forerunner in English). See also Family name. Any relation you can trace? NikoSilver 22:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, my family is Greek-American. --ESP 16:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. teh first war has the infobox added in it and I decided to add one in for the second. The reason being is because I believe that all wars should have one out of principle but above all to give a summarized verison of the events of the war - who, when, what, why and the result.

I hope you agree

Wikimedia Canada
If I join, it will be primarily to help in getting speakers of Amerindian languages to organize and also to promote the setting up of Wikipedia groups throughout Quebec, especially outside Montreal, around universities. If I get involved, it will lead to the creation of a sub-committee called Wikimédia Québec that will operate in French. Otherwise, monolingual French speakers will as usual be excluded from participating fully, leaving only unrepresentative people like me (one foot in French, the other in English all year long) to speak in their name. That sub-committee could send bilingual delegates to the Canadian-wide reunions when needed. Of course it will look silly at first since there will be very few people in the whole committee, probably located in Montreal (or Toronto?), but as groups are organized in at least Montreal, Laurentides, Abitibi, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Saguenay, Sherbrooke and Gaspesie, then it will start to make perfect sense. In the end, it will be a lot less complicated and efficient than always trying to appear to work in two languages all the time. Decades of experience shows that French always ends up being just a language of translation in most cases, even when the people with the best intentions in the world try to make it otherwise. I don't mind my language being just a translation language in Toronto or Calgary, but not in Montreal. But you knew that already, didn't you? ;-) -- Mathieugp (talk) 18:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days.

MSU Interview
Dear EvanProdromou,

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 communityHERE, where 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:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

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 nameHERE 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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:19, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Help lines
Hi, DocJames. In the wake of Wikipedian Aaron Swartz's suicide on Friday -- featured inremembering Aaron Swartz -- I've been wondering what we can do to help prevent similar tragedies in the future, in our community and in the world at large.

Noting that Google, Yahoo, and Ask have special links to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline when they get queries for "suicide", I thought it would make sense to add a simple but prominent link to suicide.

There are archives of conversations on the subject on Talk:Suicide, and specifically I've seen you say that "we don't link to hotlines". I wasn't able to find a clear summary of why that is, though. It feels like suicide might be a special case, and since we have list of suicide crisis lines it could even be a wiki link. --ESP (talk) 19:29, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * We do not link to suicide hotlines at the top of the article as I have been unable to find any decent evidence to support there use. Am more than happy to look at evidence other present. We state in the prevention section "Although crisis hotlines are common there is little evidence to support or refute their effectiveness" with a couple of references. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 19:34, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey Evan. I agree that the lose of a Wikipedian is a terrible thing. I have spent a few weeks bringing suicide to good article status in his honor. With some help from people who can spell / use grammar we could look at trying to bring it to FA.

Proposed deletion of Kevin Fox (designer)

The article Kevin Fox (designer) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. The-Pope (talk) 13:44, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
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.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

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)

Proposed deletion of Kevin Fox (designer)

The article Kevin Fox (designer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
 * Notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Invitation to Admin confidence survey
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.

ArbCom 2019 special circular

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:16, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
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 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called PeterK. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name PeterK~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:22, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

RoboCup

RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition founded in 1996 by a group of university professors (including Hiroaki Kitano, Manuela M. Veloso, Itsuki Noda and Minoru Asada). The aim of the competition is to promote robotics and AI research by offering a publicly appealing – but formidable – challenge.

The name RoboCup is a contraction of the competition's full name, "Robot World Cup Initiative" (based on the FIFA World Cup), but there are many other areas of competition such as "RoboCupRescue", "RoboCup@Home" and "RoboCupJunior". Claude Sammut is the current president of RoboCup, and has been since 2019.

The official goal of the project is:
 * "By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win a soccer game, complying with the official rules of FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup."

RoboCup leagues
The contest currently has six major domains of competition, each with a number of leagues and sub-leagues. These include:

 * RoboCup Soccer
 * Standard Platform League (formerly Four Legged League)
 * Small Size League
 * Middle Size League
 * Simulation League
 * 2D Soccer Simulation
 * 3D Soccer Simulation
 * Humanoid League
 * RoboCup Rescue League
 * Rescue Robot League
 * Rescue Simulation League
 * Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge
 * RoboCup@Home, which debuted in 2006, focuses on the introduction of autonomous robots to human society
 * RoboCup@Home Open Platform League (formerly just RoboCup@Home)
 * Robocup@Home Domestic Standard Platform League
 * RoboCup@Home Social Standard Platform League
 * RoboCup Logistics League, which debuted in 2012, is an application-driven league inspired by the industrial scenario of a smart factory
 * RoboCup@Work, which debuted in 2016, "targets the use of robots in work-related scenarios"
 * RoboCup Junior
 * Soccer League
 * OnStage (formerly Dance) League
 * Rescue League
 * Rescue CoSpace League

Each team is fully autonomous in all RoboCup leagues. Once the game starts, the only input from any human is from the referee.

RoboCup editions
The formal RoboCup competition was preceded by the (often unacknowledged) first International Micro Robot World Cup Soccer Tournament (MIROSOT) held by KAIST in Taejon, Korea, in November 1996. This was won by an American team from Newton Labs, and the competition was shown on CNN.

RoboCup was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. The planned host location of Bordeaux will host in 2023.
