Hi Justin.

I am working on some educational animations for BBC Learning, and we would love to use your image of John Snow's Memorial and Pump in Soho. I sent you an email via flickr also, so I will try to not repeat myself too much. However, it would really bring to life the scene, and would be a great help if we could use it. Unfortunately, although this is a film completely composed of cut-out images from various places, we are unable to acknowledge sources as it is an online learning resource.

Please do get in touch :) Auriol: auriol@mosaicfilms.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.223.182 (talk) 12:59, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Justin, as it seems you have seen some of banksy's art in London. As I stay in London for a while, I'd like you to tell me some spots where I can still find some of his work. Write me on s_kissling@hotmail.com -- Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.86.2.123 (talk) 00:20, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Justin, I am from Brazil and I am editing an article about Graffiti and the most important artists. I would like to include the photo "banksy she walks in beauty like the night " to ilustrate the magazine. If is possible, I will expect an e-mail at marcia@cincomunicacao.com.br. Thanks a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcia Leite (talk • contribs) 19:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Justin, I'm a reporter for the Wall Street Journal doing a story on Banksy. His hitchhiker graffiti in Archway has recently been modified and I was wondering whether I could use your 2005 photo, which is on wiki commons, for an online slideshow. If so, can you shoot me an email at gabriele.steinhauser@wsj.com? Thanks much, Gabriele86.181.8.176 (talk) 08:47, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hey Justin,

I am working for a properties magazine about London. We would really like to use your picture about Kensal green cemetery.

Please let me know if that is alright with your copyright, would be good to hear from you.

10 Palace Gate

[edit]

Justin, thanks for taking the great pictures of Wells Coates' 10 Palace Gate. They look great (as does the building - i hope to see it one day!). As I have not posted photos before, I will ask you to select a picture or two to add to the new page. Verne Equinox 01:31, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well I hope you can come and see it one day too. I have put one in the article and one in Wells Coates, but they are all at Commons:Wells Coates. But I will have to go back and see how visible the 3-2 system is from the layout of the windows and whether it is possible to photograph it. I also have some more shots of Isokon to upload - I think the selection gives a better impression than one shot, especially for looking at details (also Isokon is very near where I live). Justinc 02:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

These are great shots. Nice light. Actually, I think 10.jpg does a great job of illustrating the 3-2 system. I was actually in London about 1986. Saw the V&A and Harrods, too. Didn't know much about Wells Coates ath the time, tho' so I might well have seen 10 Palace Gate, now that I think of it, and not have known what I was seeing. I did get to spend an afternoon in the Soane Museum. That was a wonder! Regards, Verne Equinox 01:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, I hadnt noticed it in 10, very clear. The perspective on the front views makes it harder to see, but the back ones are much clearer. Maybe put that in the main Wells Coates article to illustrate it. The sun was going down as I was late, but it worked very well. I used to go to college near there, but I dont remember noticing it, although I didnt usually go down that road. I am looking out for one of his door handle, and testing out some ways to rearrange the pictures on Commons. Justinc 01:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The London Farmers' Market article

[edit]

RE your comment on the London Farmers' Markets article. This article as I understand it is on the company 'London Farmers' Market' (i.e. [1]) not farmers' markets in London in general. EAi 23:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The definition of farmers' market is taken very strictly in these markets: all produce on sale must be grown or made by the producer, and those involved in making the produce must attend the market. Food must be produced within 100 miles of the M25 motorway, preferably 50 miles, all animals must be free range and hormones and antibiotics must not be routinely used (much of the food is organic)." (from London Farmers' Markets) This text was here before I edited the article, these guidelines that are outlined are the ones set down by the company 'London Farmers' Markets' rather than some guidelines that apply to all farmers' markets in London. As such I take the original article to have been about the company as it quotes their specific guidelines and links to their site, rather than farmers' markets in London in general - that's not to say its right. See The policy section of the LFM site for information on their policy covering their markets, such as "You, the Producer named in the application, must raise, grow, produce, catch, gather, or bake everything you sell", "The goods you sell must be raised, grown, produced, gathered, caught, or baked within 100 miles of the M25" and "You may not feed hormones or routine antibiotics." EAi 00:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm not sure that there should be two articles purely separated by their use of capital letters, I guess adding a disambiguation message at the top of this page pointing to 'London Farmers' Market (company)' (or similar) and change this page's contents to mention all the farmers' markets in London (there are many not run by LFM, some which it could be argued are not farmers' markets at all, and are just cashing in on the title). EAi 01:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I would make that a seperate article. I think the company of the name deserves an article, as do NAFM certified farmers' markets in London... I don't think one should replace the other. EAi 17:33, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Hulot

[edit]

Hi Justin,

My apologies for anything that I did in error in my adjustments that I made to the "Mr Hulot's Holiday" page. Having watched it this afternoon on my Criterion Collection disc I noticed the inconsistency of the entry that I moved. I then grabbed my copy of David Bellos biography of Tati and found no mention of the color version there. But I knew that this entry would not have come out of thin air and hoped that my edits for the pages for the film would lead to a other wikipedians making this interesting item of information clearer for those that come to this page to find out more about the film. I enjoy the collaborative process here at wikipedia that leads to informative articles and, again, apologize for any breaches of wiki etiquette that have occurred.User:MarnetteD | Talk 01:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beer category decision

[edit]

As you took part in the last Great Beer Cat Discussion, I thought you might be interested in this one: A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter.

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

[edit]
Wikimedia UK logo
Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

New image project

[edit]

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

[edit]

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MSU Interview

[edit]

Dear Justinc,

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,

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

[edit]

Hello, Justinc. 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.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

[edit]

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

[edit]

Hi Justinc.

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)[reply]

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

[edit]

Information icon Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. — xaosflux Talk 17:41, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cascade Premium Lager

[edit]
Notice

The article Cascade Premium Lager has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

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

Please consider improving the page 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.

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

[edit]

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 required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, 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, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

[edit]

Information icon Established 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 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 the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:02, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

[edit]

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

[edit]

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 better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have 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 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. /Johan (WMF)

New administrator activity requirement

[edit]

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

CASE tools are extremely important to software development. Sparx Enterprise Architect, Polarion ALM, BizzDesign, etc. are just some examples of current tools in the domain, and they are essential for any systems or business analyst, architect, designer or even developer working in any serious software project. 195.23.186.52 (talk) 15:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
