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 Missvain.
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 However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less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)
Hi Missvain,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

The Challenge Series is a current drive on English Wikipedia to encourage article improvements and creations globally through a series of 50,000/10,000/1000 Challenges for different regions, countries and topics. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are invited to participate.
On 20 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ayodele Casel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that tap dancer Ayodele Casel developed her style under the influence of salsa music? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ayodele Casel. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ayodele Casel), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

You reviewed my submission and declined it because of lack of reliable sources. I respectfully request a re-review. All of the information in the submission is verificable through the reference sources that are cited. Can you be more specific and tell me what specific information in the submission is not verifiable through the reference sources indicated or give me more specific guidance on how to address the problem? Is there a problem with the format of the references sources? Thanks for your help.John Warner Smith (talk) 02:21, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello Missvain, thank you very much for your feedback on the draft, especially your advice on COI. I have disclosed the COI accordingly on the page, and hoping for further advice-- should I abandon this draft altogether due to COI, or should I still wait for the result of the draft review? Please note that COI notwithstanding, I have made a conscious effort to revise the draft based on Wikipedia's content guidelines, as well as based on helpful feedback given by Nyttend (talk) and Abdullah Alam (talk) on earlier versions of the draft. Thanks again.
Jbmangahas (talk) 07:39, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello, my page is constantly getting rejected, but I cannot clearly understand the reason. The only way I can show sources on my article is the newspaper articles released online, and reliable web pages.
I also look for similar articles which are online on WikiPedia, and those pages have the similar sourcing ways and titles. I did my best to create the most reliable article by taking those similar online pages as examples, but though they're already approved on Wiki, my page keeps getting rejected.
And the rejection causes are not clearly stated. I am a new user on WikiPedia, and it's a bit hard for me to understand the long articles on sourcing. Please tell me what is wrong on my page and I'll do the corrections.
Thanks.

Hello Missvain,
Thank you for bringing to my attention the necessity for a COI disclosure. My apologies, I had no idea that this was necessary when submitting an article about a notable person in which all statements are substantiated and referenced. Now I know! I am a brand new editor on Wikipedia so learning this process has been challenging.
I have added a COI disclosure in the Edit note section. I hope that is the correct way to handle it?
At this point, is it up to you or to me to remove the COI alert you added at the top of my submission? I appreciate your guidance as to how I can put my best foot forward with getting approval for this new article submission.
Thank you for any advice!

Thanks for uploading File:Syrinx(sculpture).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello Missvain,
Thank you for reviewing the new article draft I submitted, draft:David Breskin. I read that you have a concern about a conflict of interest and wanted to ask for your help in clarifying.
In researching Wikipedia entries in advance of creating this new article, I read through countless Wikipedia articles written for associates of David Breskin in the music business that were clearly generated by the artist him/herself, the record company that put out the CDs and albums, or by colleagues or friends.
Every new recording that comes out for David Breskin's associate, Nels Cline, for instance, is immediately given its own Wikipedia page, which was clearly written by a business associate, friend, or record label of his. For example, his new album (which David Breskin produced) called Lovers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovers_(Nels_Cline_album)
Given all this, I am very confused after reading the COI policy you've posted, as there are clearly so many examples of articles written by someone who knows the subject in some way. Just because an article is created by someone known to the subject does not make the subject any less notable. Also, there is zero commercial angle for an entry for David Breskin, as he has nothing to sell, as opposed to the articles for these new albums such as the one I've shown you.
David Breskin has published nearly 30 records with critically acclaimed avant-garde musicians since the early 80s, he's published 8 books with major publishing houses like Faber & Faber and Penguin, and collaborated with prominent, internationally known artists such as Ed Ruscha, Gerhard Richter, John Zorn, Bill Frisell, etc. All statements in the draft include references. Nearly all collaborators and projects have their own Wikipedia articles.
Am I correct in assuming that a subject who has this level of established notability should have a Wikipedia page, regardless of who submits the draft? Though I know David Breskin, I am not being paid to generate this article. I am doing it because there are so many countless books, records, magazine articles, etc that establish his notability and would be useful to the public if shared on this platform.
Thank you very much for your help. I understand you must be very busy.
All best.

I'm new to this and a little uncertain what to do when I finish making revisions to an article.
1. Do I remove your original comments and suggestions before submitting?
2. What is the code I am supposed to put at the bottom of the article when I submit it again? Or does it just appear when I click submit? I didn't add it the first time and waited 2 weeks to realize I needed to do that before submitting. :-)
Btw, thank you for all the help! Your comments were very instructive when you reviewed my article. Rodoharris (talk) 14:05, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Sarah (and also pinging @Pigsonthewing, AWossink, JMMuller, and OlafJanssen), I've been tasked as WIR for the Amon Carter Museum to create a simplified cheatsheet on image contribution and licensing issues and techniques for my museum and participants at our EaT's. But before doing so, I was wondering whether someone might have already done so for their institution. Are you aware of any such document that's already out there? Also, do any of you have any experience with the issue of just how picky Commons is about what person within an organization can give copyright persmission and, if they are picky, who they will accept?

A tag has been placed on File:Varnette Honeywood.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
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 "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. Whpq (talk) 02:34, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Maids and Music.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:30, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I have been doing some work with the articles on the new pages feed. I have noticed a few articles you have created about notable paintings. I am impressed with your creations, and was wondering if you are working within a project or something. I have been wanting to start creating some articles. Can you refer me to some kind of a list of needed articles, or project, or give me an idea on how to get started? Thank you. Antonioatrylia (talk) 07:02, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Hallo. From the deletion log of Delilah W. Pierce (see) it look like you merged the article to Delilah Pierce - with this edit (maybe). I can not see the deleted content, but if it was merged it should be undeleted (or the other article should be deleted too). See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

The article Lumigon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Arizmendi Bakery 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/Arizmendi Bakery (2nd nomination) 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. Sam Walton (talk) 12:17, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello Missvain,
I fully understand the reason for deleting a copyrighted photo of Joanelle Romero and consequently appreciate your edit.
At the same time, you have deleted the brief record about the film The Girl Called Hatter Fox, which was not only the first film Romero took part in, but also the first film a Native American played a leading role in, and therefore worth noting.
I believe I am free to restore my edit.
