Requested move 17 August 2015 edit

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move per request, as a more natural form of title than artificially tacking on a parenthetical disambiguator, but that nevertheless addresses the ambiguity of "administrators" alone.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:24, 24 August 2015 (UTC)Reply


Administrators (Wikipedia)Wikipedia administrators – Per WP:NATURALDIS, "natural disambiguation" is preferable to "parenthetical disambiguation", which this article's title currently uses. I believe a more natural disambiguation of administrators on Wikipedia is simply "Wikipedia administrators". The article itself uses this phrase to begin the "Requests for adminship" section, and several of the references cited in the article [1][2][3][4] use this phrase in their titles. It makes sense for this to be the title of the article. Mz7 (talk) 05:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Marie Curie edit edit

Hi, on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie, her spouse Pierre Curie is listed as being born in 1895 instead of 1859. I'm unable to correct the error as it's locked to prevent vandalism. Would someone else be able to edit it? Trainman666 (talk) 12:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I apologize if this is the wrong place. Couldn't find anywhere else. Trainman666 (talk) 12:22, 19 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

The correct place to post this question is on the article's talk page: Talk:Marie Curie. In this case, there is no error; the entry for spouse in the infobox lists the year they were married. Mindmatrix 14:26, 19 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Adminstats Templates edit

Hello, is there a policy regarding the unused Adminstats templates from page one of the Unused templates report? The templates are listed from numbers 274 to 446. I'm only asking as part of my task force idea to deal with the backlog of unused templates as part of WikiProject Templates. Do admins plan on using it somewhere on their user page or subpages? Otherwise, it could cause massive disruption. Same question applies to Template:Administrators' noticeboard archives/Search and Template:Administrator review. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:29, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Requests For Adminship redirect edit

Should Requests for adminship redirect to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship? I think that would make more sense. Viewer719/Contribs! 18:21, 10 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Also, I don't see any link redirecting to RFA in the section where this redirects to. Viewer719/Contribs! 18:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I think one of the wikipedia admins is making the pages of some athletes negative by taking bribes from people, please take care of it. this admin (Lethweimaster) 2A03:EF43:A:DC56:10E4:48FF:FE25:DBD9 (talk) 00:22, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Just a heads up: This is the talk page for discussing the Wikipedia article on Wikipedia administrators, not a forum for discussing Wikipedia administrators themselves. The user in question is not an administrator, and the user's edits don't look like paid editing. Larry Hockett (Talk) 00:39, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
There is a concept in psychology called projection. Projection refers to unconsciously taking traits about yourself about yourself and attributing them to someone else. A common example is a cheating spouse who suspects their partner is being unfaithful.
You are accusing me of taking bribes when I simply am commenting my opinion about the AFC articles. I can understand it can be frustrating, as we all spend hours writing articles, and they may or may not be accepted (it happened to me many times). The goal is to not take it personal.
However, it seem like you may in fact be engaged WP:PAID or maybe only WP:COI in order to get your article published. It also seems like someone (you?) are possibly engaged Sockpuppetry. As a suspicious user have created a new draft of Draft talk:Jafar Ahmedi of the same subject: Draft:Jafar Ahmadii. Once AFC was declined, 2.147.255.153 created a new draft under different name. User 2A03:EF43:A:5497:4846:70FF:FEBB:3E4B then blanked the page and moved on to Draft:Jafar Ahmadii and submitted it for review... Why so persistent with this athlete? Are you WP:PAID? If you do have a conflict of interest WP:COI or are paid you have to disclose it as per WP:PAID.

If you don't have a problem with this hero, why do you keep negativeizing this hero's page? 2A03:EF43:D:15D4:6C61:DFFF:FE09:C242 (talk) 22:23, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
