WikiProject College football April 2008 Newsletter (full contents)

The College football WikiProject Newsletter Issue V - April 2008
Project news This month is spring practice season for most college football teams. Be sure to update your team's season article and grab a few pictures if you're lucky enough to be on hand for a spring game. Remember, even the worst picture of all is better than the picture that wasn't taken. The number of College Football Good Articles being added to the project continues to grow. Nine new GAs were added in March, bringing the total of GAs produced this year to 29. At the current rate, the project will produce 116 GAs this year, nearly three times the number of GAs that were produced in the past two years. Keep up the great work! With all the new GAs and FAs produced by the project, reviewers and commenters are continuously needed. Keep an eye on the project talk page, WP:FAC and WP:GAC for new college football articles to review and comment upon. Even one suggestion or support message goes a long way toward helping create a new Featured or Good Article. Notre Dame Fighting Irish football under Tyrone Willingham and Skip Holtz need a Good Article review. A discussion is ongoing about the possibility of creating a master team list for Division 1-AA, Division 2, Division 3, and NAIA football teams. A discussion about article notability is ongoing on the project talk page. Editors are encouraged to participate.	From JKBrooks85 Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page. I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game. Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article.

WikiProject College football May 2008 Newsletter

The College football WikiProject Newsletter Issue VI - May 2008
Project news The 2008 NFL Draft and spring football have both wrapped up. Be sure to update your teams' pages with the latest info from the draft and with roster changes at the end of spring practice. If you've taken any photos at your teams' spring games, now's the time to upload them to Wikimedia Commons. Even if you don't have a place for the image right now, putting it on Wikimedia allows other editors to use your photo in their articles. You know how good a photographer you are — let everyone else see it, too! The names of this year's inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame have been released. [1] Two new bowl games have been created for the 2008 season. The Congressional Bowl and St. Petersburg Bowl both need their pages expanded with what information is available. 2005 ACC Championship Game and Jack Kemp are Featured Article Candidates. Your comments and/or support are appreciated. Appalachian State Mountaineers football seasons and List of Atlantic Coast Conference football champions are Featured List Candidates. Your comments and/or support are appreciated. Tim Tebow and ACC Championship Game need Good Article reviews.

Copyright problems with Image:Cains_Ballroom_Tulsa.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Cains_Ballroom_Tulsa.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 19:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Cains Ballroom Tulsa.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Cains Ballroom Tulsa.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Cains Ballroom Tulsa.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Kelly ^hi! 21:25, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I think you may have been the victim of an erroneous notification...the image on the Commons is not the same as the image that was deleted, to the best of my recollection. I think someone may have uploaded a copyvio image on top of the local version of your photo. Sorry for any trouble. Kelly ^hi! 13:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, I looked up the log for the image - it looks like you were the uploader of the local image, but the copy here was different - it came from http://www.flickr.com/photos/strph/112316958/, which apparently doesn't have a license compatible with Wikipedia. (I can't access Flickr from where I am at the moment.) Kelly ^hi! 13:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, ok. Thanks for clarifying.↔NMajdan•talk 19:33, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I'm guessing that what happened is that the image had a free license when you uploaded it, and then the Flickr user changed the license subsequently. It happens a lot...that's why I'm working now to move our Flickr-sourced images from here to the Commons. Commons has a Flickr license verification scheme so that we're protected even if the license is subsequently changed. I highly recommend that you upload future Flickr images there, and move any of your existing images there whenever you get a chance. Let me know if I can help - I can point you to a handy bot that does all the hard uploading work and image description formatting for you, in addition to verifying the license. Regards - Kelly ^hi! 19:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Update - I had some free time so I went back through your uploads...you didn't have any other Flickr images, but I added a lot of missing fair use rationales and moved some free images to Commons. The only ones I couldn't resolve were the image mentioned below, and Image:Bedlam.jpg needs a fair use rationale because it is a derivative work of copyrighted 3D artwork. (You weren't the original uploader, you had simply reverted someone else's addition of another image with that name. I also notified the original uploader.) Cheers - Kelly ^hi! 21:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:BOK Center-BothRenditions.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:BOK Center-BothRenditions.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 20:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC) --Kelly ^hi! 20:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject College football June 2008 Newsletter

The College football WikiProject Newsletter Issue VII - June 2008
Project news There's still more than two months until the 2008-2009 college football season kicks off, but that's no reason to stop editing! Plenty of historical articles, such as past bowl games, need to be written, and editors are always needed to update teams' season articles. Don't fall into the summer malaise — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page. Wikiproject College Football recently created its first featured topic, ACC football championship games. Featured topics are collections of good- or featured-level articles, and represent the apex of featured content on Wikipedia. If you have multiple good or featured articles that can be connected by a common topic or article, consider submitting them as a featured article. There are currently very few featured topics and even fewer sports featured topics. Several NAIA coaches' articles (ex. Ronald Beard) were nominated for deletion, but were rescued by editors. Paul McDonald has created a formal draft of notability requirements for college football articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject College Football/Notability. This is an updated draft of the older proposed guidelines and goes into far more detail. All editors of college football articles are requested to examine the document and leave comments or suggestions. If implemented, it will affect future AfD discussions dealing with college football articles. The College Football Portal needs more pictures scheduled. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.

Plenty of historical articles, such as past bowl games, need to be written, and editors are always needed to update teams' season articles. Break out of the summer malaise and get ready for kickoff — check out the to-do list on the Wikiproject College football talk page. A hearty congratulations should go out to everyone who has elevated an article to Good Article status since January 1. During the past seven months, the project has more than doubled the number of Good Articles! In 2006 and 2007, there were a total of 40 college football GAs. In the first seven months of 2008, we've created 42. Give yourself a pat on the back! For those of you who haven't yet created a college football good article yet, what are you waiting for? At the present rate, there will be more than 120 by year's end. Be a part of something bigger and build a GA-class college football article today! During the past few months, an excellent notability guideline for college football articles has been constructed at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Notability, but your help is needed to make it complete. In particular, your help is requested in defining what makes a college football player notable — Is it being a multiple year starter at a position? Is it being named the best player at a position? Or is it something as simple as holding a school, conference, or national record? Participate in the debate at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Notability.

Thanks for uploading Image:Horde95.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to List of Oklahoma Sooners in the NFL Draft.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any .

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

New Big 12 head coaches on the lists

I'm curious what should be done on the Texas Tech and Kansas head coaches lists. Since both schools now have new head coaches, should the lead be written without any mention of the new coaches since the tables are all "as of the end of the 2009 season" or should they be mentioned in the lead but not in the table?

That's a good question. I would include them in the lead but out of the main table under after next year.—NMajdan•talk 16:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good. Thanks! Keep up the good work on the lists. NThomas (talk) 16:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Kansas coaches list

Just FYI, i've started on the Kansas coaches list here User:Ryan2845/coaches#Coaches. Just figured i'd let you know so you don't start a duplicate (although i'm sure Kansas was probably last on the priority list lol). Ryan2845 (talk) 19:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Great! Thanks for letting me know. Also, take a look at the three lists currently up at FLC. There have been some changes since I created the template. Otherwise, feel free to ask me to give it a once over before you submit it to FLC and I'll give you some feedback.—NMajdan•talk 19:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

One question I did have was the rules for marking Hall of Famers. Are you marking only those that went into the Hall as coaches? Only those that went in as members of the school that the list is for? Or just marking them all no matter what? I ask because KU has had 4 people coach that are in the Hall, but none went in specifically as KU coach, and some are in as players not coaches.

• Since that 'Oppose vote came up, I have a feeling this won't pass FL and be merged into Texas Tech Red Raiders men's basketball. I appreciate your review but I feel that any revisions would be in vein if it were to be merged. My whole goal was to get as many Texas Tech lists to FL as possible using existing FLs as templates (ex: your Sooners in the NFL Draft, coaches lists, seasons lists, buildings lists, alumni, presidents, etc). I kinda have no motivation to keep this up if every list after this one is shot down because of size. In that case, there are probably only two lists I could finish. Be careful with your Big 12 football coaches topic because if my nomination is denied on size, your lists are similar in size and they might end up being brought up for reassessment. NThomas (talk) 02:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Again, have you thought of adding the women coaches to the list?—NMajdan•talk 02:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
    • Do you think that'll help it pass the size problem? There's only going to be another 5 entries if it includes the Lady Raiders coaches.
      • I think it helped my Oklahoma list. Won't hurt. A women's list can't stand on its own.—NMajdan•talk 03:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
        • Apparently a men's list can't stand on its own either... haha I've got a couple questions for how to add the women's list to it so check on the FL discussion. NThomas (talk) 03:14, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

RE Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Feature_requests#Replace_hyphens_with_en_dashes_in_certain_parameters_or_certain_templates

There will be too many false positives to drop this into AWB general fixes but I can provide you a simple custom module to use with AWB for you do it semi-automatically. Rjwilmsi 21:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Paste this into the Custom module window (replacing whatever is there) in AWB 5.0.2. You have to fill in what other templates you want it to run on. Per request the module replaces all dashes in the template parameters, which I don't think is quite the right approach: there are false positives on, for example, Adolph Rupp and I know for certain that the |pages= parameter in {{cite book}} can contain "7-5" which is "7 section 5" not a range (AWB has specific logic to handle |pages= anyway). A better approach may be to at least restrict hyphen replacement to matches where the hyphen is between two numbers. I will leave it to you to test the module and get back to me. Rjwilmsi 08:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Ah, in working on this I found a bug in AWB over parameters that themselves contain a smaller template. I have fixed it on rev 6389 but that missed AWB 5.0.2 so until an AWB snapshot comes out numbered >= 6389 then you'll have to be extra careful. Rjwilmsi 10:22, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

My latest version is at User:Rjwilmsi/Test2. The HTML comments issue is fixed. Rjwilmsi 23:57, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Your CFB list of head coaches template

I'm working on something on Wikipedia: WikiProject College football, the subsection "Structure" was/is based on the WP:NFL's structure and is a complete mess over there. Considering how well put together your Big 12 Conference football head coaches pages are, is there anyway you can create something for the College football Wikiproject similar to act as a guide similar to what was done with this. Here's where your coaches list guide should go: Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Head coach lists format. I'm working on a few myself. Since this one is your expertise, I felt it was only right you do it. NThomas (talk) 03:47, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Thread at VPM about Webcitation.org bot, and about Wikimedia creating its own archive service

Hi there,

I'm reaching out to people who I see have been previously been active in threads related to Webcitation.org.

I started the above-mentioned thread at VPM, which

1) asks how things are going with the webcitation.org bot (because i think it's SUCH A COOL idea), and

2) inquires whether WikiMedia should create its own archiving service, to avoid the risks of relying on another organization's services (e.g., the downtimes experienced now).

I hope you'll take a look. user:Agradman editing as 160.39.221.164 (talk) 06:20, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

User subpage

I saw that you are part of the Templates wikiproject, and I was wondering, is there a template (or do you have to put one..) for a user subpage that designates it as a personal repository for the user to leave and grab notices (ex. notices telling other people the user is taking a wikibreak). Let me describe the subpage I want to use the template for. Instead of for example trying to remember the exact code, the user just develops the code and keeps it there. Is there a template for that? If so where can I look for the template and similar ones. I was looking everywhere but I couldn't find the page for it. Could you help me out? I know that what I'm describing sounds vague but if you have any questions about what I'm talking about please let me know.

Navbox with collapsible groups

Greetings, Nmajdan.

I'm trying to use some of your old handiwork, the Navbox with collapsible groups, for a HOF that includes 15 separate groups. The navbox instructions say "The template currently supports up to 10 groups/lists but more can be added if needed." After the 11th list/group included, it simply does not display the 12th and subsequent groups/lists. How do we go about adding more groups/lists so that they will display? If you want to see an example of the problem, take a look at the Michigan Wolverines football navbox that uses the template; its 12th group does not presently display.

MSU Interview

Dear Nmajdan,

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 24.11.206.39 (talk) 03:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Annual football conference season navboxes nominated for deletion at TFD

I have nominated all of the annual football conference season navboxes for deletion as I don't believe they are useful navigational tools. You can find the discussion here. –Grondemar 02:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 00:43, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Nmajdan,

We (Ortho Sport and Spine) recently used a photo of yours in our blog. We signed up with wikicommons and thought we were legally able to use you photo of Sam Bradford. We really like the photo and it looks great on our blog, we have been curious if we were able to use your photo on our blog page without any legal ramifications. If you do not want us to use the photo we will take it down immediately! Please let me know if the photo will cause any problems. We hope you let us use it, but we understand if you don't. Here is a link to our blog and the photo we are using. http://orthosportandspine.com/blog/sam-bradford-acl/

If you don't mind, could you please contact me at taylorlgray@gmail.com.

Have a great day, Taylor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.227.88.40 (talk) 12:34, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Proposal for a new useful template

I see that you created the template {{Winning percentage}}

It is one I use a lot and for that I thank you.

However, I realize that 100% of the times I use the template I am using it in a head-coaching record. See Scott_Rueck#Head_Coaching_Record for example.

I don't propose to change the template you created as it is used by itself in many places. However I like to propose a new template which would be helpful in head-coaching records. I'm contacting you because while I have some template editing skills, they are limited and given your involvement with this template it might be easy for you to implement.

First let me explain the problem. When I find an error as I did in the linked record, I have to change the wins and the losses and then change them again in the template. I hate doing the same thing twice when I can get a computer to do it once.

My proposal is to create a template that takes two parameters: wins and losses and outputs wins, –, losses, percentage (in parentheses).

I'll call the template wins losses percentage or WLP for short.

Invoking {{WLP}} would generate:

178–50 (.781)

To beat the point to death, in the current usage, if the coach won a game and lost a game, I would have to change the 178 to 179 in two places and the 50 to 51 in two places. That seems silly. With my proposed template, I could make a change to the 178 and a change to the 50, and the output would be correct.

Do you have any interest in this?

If not do you have any advice? For example, for all I know such a template already exists and I just need to find it. Or perhaps it would create some problem I haven't considered.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you might have. --S Philbrick(Talk) 22:02, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

I just noticed that {{WLP}} already exists. A small detail. Perhaps {{W L P}}--S Philbrick(Talk) 22:04, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Nmajdan. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

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 "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following 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, 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 a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (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 Nmajdan.

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)
