Extended confirmed protection
Hello, Salvio giuliano. 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. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I wouldn't have thought the deletion of that page would fall under WP:CSD#G6. Kelly hi! 17:39, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- It was a way not to attract further attention to a page which contained information running afoul of WP:OUTING; after all, there really was no furher use for the page: the claim, as you know, was investigated in private by Arbcom, and we were satisfied with Midnightblueowl's replies.

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 Salvio giuliano.
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)

Draft:Amaris - page deleted
Hello! I contact you, because I think is a misunderstanding with the Amaris page that got deleted. I followed the structure from the article "How to write better articles" on Wikipedia and also, the example of big companies, like: Deloitte or EY. I also, sent a message on the talk page before the page got deleted and would have highly appreciated to be informed in advance of this final decision.
Since it redirected me to you as being the decision maker i hope you will answer as soon as possible to this matter as i would like the page to be back on Wikipedia.
Thank you in advance! OanaST (talk) 16:59, 11 January 2017 (UTC) OanaST
- Articles on Wikipedia are supposed to be written neutrally and impartially, should be free of puffery, and should not be used as a means to promote businesses, organisations, or people. Your draft violated these policies in such a serious and fundamental way that, to get a "clean" article, you should have rewritten it from scratch. Sentences such as with more than 60 offices worldwide, the company developed an international network to establish a strong relationship with its customers belong in an ad, not in an encyclopaedic article. In addition, to qualify for an article, an entity must meet our notability requirements; for companies and organisations, they are listed at WP:NCORP. I'm not sure Amaris meets those requirements. Finally, I have a feeling you may have a conflict of interest, in which case I suggest you should familiarise yourself with WP:COI. Salvio Let's talk about it! 12:22, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Signpost Arbitration interview request
Hello. I am lead writer for the Signpost's "Arbitration Report" and am wondering if you would be interested in answering some interviews questions as an outgoing Arbitrator.

Hi! I wanted to ask if my article Kerry Britt that was deleted was due to the page set up or if it was because of lacking notable references (if so what constitutes as notable references)? This was my first article and having some trouble with the actual page lay out. Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Calli2010 (talk) 13:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- It was because the article did not show notability, which is generally established through significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources (on which, see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources). IMDB is not considered a reliable source, however, because much of its database content is user contributed with minimal and unstated editorial oversight by IMDb staff (see Wikipedia:Citing IMDb). Salvio Let's talk about it! 20:12, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Glenn Martin Rand
Dear Salvio Giuliano
Glenn Martin Rand is a credible source because he has contributed greatly to the art world, specifically the photography world. I believe he has a place here in Wikipedia, I was just poor in proving so. I should have added different sources to make it a stronger in credibility; however, this was my first time creating a page. Is there anyway I could get back what I have written and add more to not get it deleted?
I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks you,
Alexandria Steffes

Hi, just curious why you deleted the [[[Azrael (band)]] page. Yes, there are several bands with that name, but the band is currently signed to a well known underground metal label called Moribund Records and there is plenty of information about the band on their website Moribund website regarding the 5 releases the band has put out over the past decade. This band has been around long enough and released enough content on a known label that it deserves to stay. Strongmantom (talk) 21:11, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Wassim Rasamny
Hello, I hope you are in good health and recovering. I want to revamp a page which was shut down to users by you a few months ago in January. I believe the subject of the article is notable enough to deserve an article on Wikipedia, and I will strictly conform and adhere to Wikipedia policy while producing this article. I was wondering if you could lift the ban and subsequently review my work once it is complete, to see if there are any issues.
Thanks a lot, Jkmarold55 (talk) 12:45, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

The general 1RR restriction in ARBPIA
User:Salvio giuliano, it has been pointed out to me the New Guidelines (in the section "Motion: ARBPIA" near the bottom of the page). The key part is the sentence underlined in black. Question: Is this to imply that all new edits made since 26 December 2016 in Palestine-Israel articles can be deleted by editors, and they can challenge the editors who put them there in the first place, without the first editors restoring their edits until a new consensus has been reached? If so, you open the door for "abusive editing," that is to say, the new guidelines allow editors to freely delete areas in articles based on their sole judgment and conviction and which edits had earlier been agreed upon by consensus, and that such changes will remain in force until such a time that a new consensus can be reached. As you see, this can be problematic. Second Question: Do the new guidelines also apply to reverts made in articles where a consensus had already been reached before 26 December 2016, or do they only apply to reverts made after 26 December 2016? To avoid future problems arising from this new edict, can I make this one suggestion, namely, that the new guidelines in Palestine-Israel articles be amended to read with this addition: "Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense, or where abuses arise over reverts made in an article where a consensus had already been reached before or after the edict of 26 December 2016 took effect, such editors make themselves liable to disciplinary actions, including blocking."Davidbena (talk) 15:07, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
