This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

== citations  ==

Okay so when using the web citation templates, when it asks for name, ect, that is for the website or the author? That whole template has me a bit confused
[[User:Dread Skott|Dread Skott]] ([[User talk:Dread Skott|talk]]) 18:08, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:Dread Skott|Dread Skott]], yeah that stuff is confusing.  Often you can figure it out by looking at the template documentation, which is supposed to explain it (i.e. go to [[template:cite web]] or whatever).  name= is for the author's name (or alternately you can use last= and first= for the name). I think the name of the website goes in its own |website= parameter.  You can also just play around with it filling in the values and previewing, then save when you like how it looks!  BTW you know about [[WP:RS]] though right?  Some random website doesn't cut it, it has to be something that gets vetted by an editor (like, I don't know, huffington post, or E! news).  Let me know if I can help with anything!

==Critical Response==
When including the critics responses to productions of the work of a playwright, would it be appropriate to have the name of the play as a header, the location and date of the production as a subhead then bullet the names of the reviewers and their publications with links to the actual review? 

Thank you for your guidance!

Maura [[User:MauraJunius|MauraJunius]] ([[User talk:MauraJunius|talk]]) 18:42, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:MauraJunius|MauraJunius]], good to see you're still improving it! Tough question. I don't know what the actual convention is, fortunately there's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre|WikiProject Theatre]] full of folks who work on these types of articles.  They don't have a guideline for playwrights but [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Theatre/Article Structure#Response|WikiProject Theatre/Article Structure]] has a guideline for a Response section.  It's not detailed enough to answer your question though. In my opinion, it would be best to have a general header like Critical reception, then maybe subheaders for each play ''if'' there's enough info to fill out a good sized subsection. Otherwise I'd just write it out in different paragraphs.  A bulleted list could work, but it might be better to just write it out in prose--I think bulleted lists are not preferred. Then I would definitely link to the reviews but I would do it in the references section--i.e. put the reference with the link between <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags at the end of the relevant sentence.  I looked at [[A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant]]  which is a [[WP:featured article|featured article]], meaning the community has deemed it among the best articles.  I look at FA's in the relevant area when I'm trying to figure out how to write something.  [https://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Theatre&quality=FA-Class Here] are more theater FA's.  Anyway look at [[A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant#Reception|the Pageant article's Reception section]], that's the way I'd format it (of course you're dealing with more than one play).  Anyway, I hope this helps, let me know if I can clarify anything!

== [[:Category:Characters that are apart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe]] ==

This category clearly meets the requirements of speedy deletion, the same editor has recreated the same categories under albeit under slightly different title variations on multiple occasions and each time the concensus is the same. It's actually disruptive behavior at this point.--[[User:TriiipleThreat|TriiipleThreat]] ([[User talk:TriiipleThreat|talk]]) 03:06, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
:I hear you [[User:TriiipleThreat|TriiipleThreat]], there's no way we're keeping this one, but I was loath to close the CFD discussion as speedy delete because there were other pages being discussed at the same time.  I thought it might actually be more efficient to let the thing run its course.  But I have no problem with speedying either.  I think the way you typically express your opinion is to comment with a '''speedy delete''' in the deletion discussion rather than tagging the page.  You can weigh in on the other cats that way too.

== Speedy Deletion - NPlot ==
Hi, you have deleted the article on [[NPlot]]. The reason stated indicates misunderstanding of the subject (refer to the [[Talk:NPlot|Talk page]]; - update - didn't even manage to write anything on the Talk page because the article was deleted before I could do anything, so I will put the argument about contesting deletion on my talk page). Can you please revert the action so that the article is available for eventual improvement. Thanks, [[User:Ajgorhoe|Ajgorhoe]] ([[User talk:Ajgorhoe|talk]]) 11:53, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:Ajgorhoe|Ajgorhoe]], sorry for the speed of that speedy! Sure, I can undelete it so you can work on it.  How about somewhere in your userspace like [[User:Ajgorhoe/NPlot]] at least until it's got a few references for [[wp:verifiability|verifiability]].  You're right that the A7 web was not the right justification so that was my mistake to go with that, but wouldn't you agree that it should meet the [[WP:General notability guideline|General notability guideline]] by showing it's been written about in [[WP:reliable sources|reliable sources]]?  Thank you for bringing this up, I'm sure your contributions will be valuable. [[user:delldot|<span style="color:#990066;">delldot</span>]] <small>[[user talk:delldot|<span style="color:DarkRed;">&nabla;.</span>]]</small> 15:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
::Hi [[user:delldot|delldot]], thanks for your response. It would be useful for me if you save the article to [[User:Ajgorhoe/NPlot]] because I will not be able to work on it soon. I planned to add a broader set of information about .NET libraries because I think that software libraries are poorly covered in general and this would also be useful to attract other contributions in the area (to move things from a standing point). But my stock of time is limited and I already spent this weekend's stock on studying formalities, in particular to figure out how to start and evolve work without parts being removed before they get close enough to their final form. 
::Of course I agree that articles should meet notability guidelines, verifiability, accuracy etc. Exactly for this reason the amount of work invested in this short piece of information was rather large, but further work would be needed (not in terms of deletion, if I try to make my point) and I don't think I should feel solely responsible or "called" for this mission. Wikipedia is a collaborative project and people can't claim parts of it. In order for an article to reach maturity and good quality, it is necessary that more people get involved and it takes some time and iteration. In the particular case, the article would have most value when connected to other related information (which would advance the whole area) and this should be built here. But this will not happen (it hasn't by now with exception of some specific areas such as numerical libraries) if a modest start is not possible. Regards, [[User:Ajgorhoe|Ajgorhoe]] ([[User talk:Ajgorhoe|talk]]) 17:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Sure, I will undelete it as soon as I'm home in front of a computer, rather than on my mobile. Thanks [[User:Ajgorhoe|Ajgorhoe]] for the time you've put in so far and I'm sorry for not recognizing that right away. I see your point about having something there as a basis for future work. How about adding just a reference or two to get it up to a minimum standard, then moving it to article space and soliciting help on the relevant WikiProject talk page? Or even soliciting help while it's still in the user space? Maybe we can find some active editors in the field as well, and leave them personal messages. I don't mind helping with some of this, but adding the references is probably going to be difficult for me due to the aforemand unfamiliarity with the topic.

::::Thank you for your advise. I'll have to leave it aside for some time, but later the undeleted article will be useful and I'd try to improve it according to your suggestions. I didn't think of soliciting help on the relevant WikiProject talk, and it might be a good idea, especially with a broader work on libraries which I would like to see pushed forward. I will probably come back for some advice later. Regards, [[User:Ajgorhoe|Ajgorhoe]] ([[User talk:Ajgorhoe|talk]]) 23:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Delldot. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|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 [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this 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, [[WP:ECP2016|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 at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|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 [[Special:Preferences|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 [[Help:Two-factor authentication|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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''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 [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|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]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

: All administrators are receiving it.

; What prompted you to send this message?
: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.  Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.

; What do I need to do?
: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).

== 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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]
Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin 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 rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at [[WP:BN|the bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

== Copyright Violation ==

Hi {{u|Delldot}}! I have been working on the Good Article review of [[Diaphragmatic rupture]] at [[Talk:Diaphragmatic rupture/GA2]]. Both my review and [[Talk:Diaphragmatic rupture/GA1]] have identified that prose that you wrote in the article in July 2008 has been plagiarised by an "predatory academic journal" called "Open Access Text". Their website can be found at [https://www.oatext.com/index.php], the plagiarising text in question can be found at [https://www.doi.org/10.15761/TEC.1000145], and their email address is info@oatext.com. You can see my review for a full breakdown of this. As you published your edits under the [[Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License|CC BY-SA 3.0 License]], Open Access Text must attribute Wikipedia as the source of the information. Whilst I would gladly pursue the copyright claim myself, it has to come from a writer of the original text - you. For now, I have listed Open Access Text at [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/MNO#Open Access Text]], but if you wish to pursue a copyright claim, then I would suggest following the advice at [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks#Non-compliance process]] - I would be happy to support you with this. Hoping you are well, [[User:Bibeyjj|Bibeyjj]] ([[User talk:Bibeyjj|talk]]) 21:09, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

: Hi, thank you for letting me know! I don't have a lot of time these days. Do you think it is helpful to WP to pursue these copyright claims? Is that an ongoing project?

Hi,

I saw that you reviewed [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Black American Sign Language/archive1|Black American Sign Language]] a few years ago. I think it's the latest article about a language that was promoted to the FA status. I've just listed [[Levantine Arabic]] for [[Wikipedia:Peer review/Levantine Arabic/archive2|peer-review]], in hopes of bringing it to featured article status and that's why I'd love to get your feedback on this peer-review (and maybe, if you have time, get more help on the nomination process).

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
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 [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|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 [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|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.

== Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]This is a reminder that established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|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.{{pb}}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 [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrats' noticeboard]].{{pb}}Thank you for your past contributions to the project. —&thinsp;[[User:JJMC89 bot|JJMC89 '''bot''']] 00:36, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

== Custom signature fix needed ==

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. [[mw:New requirements for user signatures|Changes to Wikipedia's software]] have made your current custom signature invalid.  

'''The problem:'''  Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

'''The solutions:'''  You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

<div style="margin-left:1.6em;">
'''Solution 1:  Reset your signature to the default:'''
# [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-signature|Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences]].
# Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "'''Treat the above as wiki markup.'''"
# Remove anything in the {{int:yournick}} text box.
# Click the blue "{{int:Saveprefs}}" button at the bottom of the page.  (Do not click the red "{{int:Restoreprefs}}" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
'''Solution 2:  Fix your custom signature:'''
# [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal-signature|Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences]].
# Click the {{mw button|Learn more|normal}} button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
# Update your signature to fix the error.
# Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature. 
'''Solution 3:  Do nothing:'''
# In accordance with [[Special:Permalink/1197325461#RfC: applying signature validation retroactively|a recent request for comment]], all invalid signatures will be changed to [[MediaWiki:Signature|the default]], which looks like "[[User:Example|Example]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Example|talk]])", one month from now.</div> If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at [[Wikipedia talk:Signatures]].

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
