ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:27, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Medventlogo.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Medventlogo.gif. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged 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 00:26, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:SeaSpanBarge.jpg

The file File:SeaSpanBarge.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused, low-res, no obvious use.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 07:48, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the tag - I just deleted it to make it easy. -- Tawker (talk) 01:01, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Page deleted

Hello, I’m new to wiki as an editor. I’m trying to get understanding as to why a page I made was deleted? I followed the steps and made sure i did citations for links and information that was posted. Editor0816 (talk) 18:17, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Editor0816 and welcome. The article was requested for deletion following Not a web host policy. If you'd like I can restore the draft somewhere in your user space and you could submit via the Articles for creation process although I'd suggest ensuring that notability is met. Articles generally belong in the article space not under a User: page. If you have any further questions or would like me to restore to assist with going thru articles for creation please advise. -- Tawker (talk) 00:50, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Bernard Middleton

Hello! I recently created the article Bernard Middleton that you deleted after it was flagged for copyright infringement. The page was not an integral copy of the stated source (though it was indeed used as one of the handful of references used, and cited). Perhaps I unintentionally left a chunk of text from the source as it was, without any alteration? In any case, I would like to rectify my mistake; would it be possible to restore the page in some way, with the omission of the offending content, so that I could rework it without starting from scratch? Thanks, and apologies! RickMorais (talk) 22:14, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Rick - thanks for the note - let me see what I can do, the copyvio report had indicated a 65% match and there were quite a few paragraphs that were matching entirely with the source article. Can you give me a few days, it will likely be a little bit of work to go thru selectively. -- Tawker (talk) 22:19, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
