A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. 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. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 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)

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.
Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:
Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Established
policy provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 08:46, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Please help me with... I'm expanding the article Quercus look. I'd like to use the "Named References" feature for some information that came from a source I used earlier in the article, but when I've clicked that button in the edit window, the only named source is #1, the source used in the infobox. I don't know how to adjust the other references so they will appear on that dropdown list. Joyous! | Talk 00:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
<ref>
tag for the reference you want to reuse and add a name so it looks like <ref name=shortname >
- of course, you can use whatever you think is suitable instead of the name shortname. After that, you can switch back to the VE and it should allow you to select the newly named ref for use in a different place.

A quick thank you for your merge work on Conscious breathing, and for listing yourself on Wikipedia:WikiProject Merge with an interest in backlog management - music to my ears! I've been working on the backlog there for some years, mostly focussing on old and forgotten proposal, but it can sometimes be a little lonely; so having an (or another) experienced editor looking out at the tail will be very helpful. Just a note that I'm very happy to be disagreed with, and accept that there is often a wide set of reasonable actions! Klbrain ( talk) 10:28, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Joyous!,
I deleted this page as a broken redirect. And then I noticed it had over 1,000 edits to the page which is unlike most of our redirect pages and it has a full talk page. The edit history says that you merged this article with Time of Pakistani history but this is a blank page which is why the redirect was broken. Did you merge it with a different article? In that case, the redirect and talk page should be restored and the redirect corrected. Thanks for looking into this. Liz Read! Talk! 06:49, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey, Joyous!,
Another question! I saw you deleted Manoj Kumar Yadav and protected the page from being recreated. But I noticed that one version of the article at this page title was moved to this location. I looked at the version of the article that was just deleted and it looks like these two Manoj Kumar Yadavs are from the same general place but belonged to two different political parties. So, it's unclear to me whether or not they are about the same person. Since you closed the most recent AFD and handled this article, I thought I'd ask if you could follow up and see whether this page warrants CSD G4. Thanks for your help! Liz Read! Talk! 05:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
I've seen your name pop up recently, doing very good work. A little looksee shows me that you became significantly less (save about two months in 2016) about the time I became an active editor. Anyway, just wanted to tell you it's great to see you around and making this place better. All the best, 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 22:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for all of your work in closing geography AfDs. I noticed that you've been unlinking deleted stubs from lists like this. In situations where the location fails verification as a "populated place" and turns out to be a ranch, natural feature, etc, would you consider removing the entry entirely instead? I've spent a lot of time cleaning up the Arizona place lists and would appreciate it if closers could help keep them clear of erroneous items. – dlthewave ☎ 03:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey Joyous, I see you deleted a page Jayaram Kailas in which I participated. The user:Akevsharma was so desperate in the discussion, so I noted him and checked his account in detail. I wanted to make a major thing into your attention. The AFD nominator user:Akevsharma is also a suspected sockpuppet of blocked sockpupper Farzanfa007 link - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Farzanfa007 . He is manupulating many discussions. I noted you said my points were not taken into consideration as I am a new user. Additionally you said his movie page was previously deleted. when I checked it was deleted once and that too on the same day and few time before you deleted this page, in that page too user:Akevsharma aka user:Iamfarzan manupulated the discussion and I doubt the IPs voted are from his side. If you still doesnt go with what I said, you may consider it draftified as he is a notable filmmaker, who is a National Film Awards jury member, Kerala Film Critics Association Award winner, and 2 movie director etc. and its possible that the page can have improvements. Hope Justice prevails in wikipedia too Christopheronthemove ( talk) 05:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Addition : User:Akevsharma who nominated the page Jayaram Kailas for deletion has been confirmed as a sockpuppet and has been blocked few days before. So the discussion might be manupulated by him in some form and you can see lot of IP votes in that discussion which says delete, which might be from his side. I request you to undelete the page Jayaram Kailas as the discussion might be manupulated and this is the case or you may draftify it as I wish to work on the article Christopheronthemove ( talk) 18:07, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
