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. Mind matrix 14:26, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Why does this page need references? Isn't it about wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louis Sarwal (talk • contribs) 2020-07-08T18:47:55 (UTC)

All articles need references. See Project:Verifiability. Uncle G (talk) 03:01, 5 November 2023 (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]

I don't know who the admins of this wiki are[edit]

hello, I know this is not wikipedia in Spanish, but where can I see who are the administrators of this English wikipedia? Lenis Felipe (talk) 17:31, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ADMIN has general information on administrators, and this is a the list of all current admins. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 18:21, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!, in this link, shows who are the administrators of Wikipedia in Spanish Lenis Felipe (talk) 19:10, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Admin violation[edit]

This discussion is not about the article at all, which is what this talk page is for. See Project:Administrators' noticeboard or better yet Project:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard for the right place for this sort of thing. Uncle G (talk) 02:58, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

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.

Admins: These users below, have all only edited the same subjects (Draft:Jafar Ahmadii & Draft talk:Jafar Ahmedi) in a very suspicious way.
