Tang[edit]Hi User:BD2412, because of your edits to Tang surname article was wondering if you could contribute another origin of Maiorana surname that's sourced here [1], which says it's derived from the name of a 16th century French family. Because of your other edits, I feel you can phrase it perfect. Hope you can help thanks. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.224.187 (talk) 19:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC) Nomination of Cult of Orcus for deletion[edit]![]() The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cult of Orcus until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

May I ask why you must say that everything that has to do with the great state that is New York must redirect from "New York (state)"? I only click direct links. I do not like (nor approve of, as it can be vandalistic) all these redirects. I already noticed that you changed New York back to "New York (state)" on New York (disambiguation). You're supposed to link directly to each article listed on the disambiguation page.—Bde1982 (talk) 06:56, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 5 November 2016 (UTC) Interview invitation from a Wikipedia researcher in University of Minnesota[edit]Hello BD 2412, I am Bowen Yu, a Ph.D. student from GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Currently, we are undertaking a study about turnover (editors leaving and joining) in WikiProjects within Wikipedia. We are trying to understand the effects of member turnovers in the WikiProject group, in terms of the group performance and member interaction, with a purpose of learning how to build successful online communities in future. More details about our project can be found on this meta-wiki page. I would like to invite you for an interview if you are interested in our study and willing to share your experience with us. The interview will be about 30 - 45 minutes via either Skype or Google Hangout. You will receive a $10 gift card as compensation afterwards. Please reach me at bowen@cs.umn.edu if you are interested or have any questions. Thank you, Bowen![]() You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Pyrusca (talk) 23:10, 8 November 2016 (UTC) 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 BD2412. 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.

Didn't seem quite appropriate to me so I am going to restore the previous information and wanted you to know. It seems like something about the Bot might need to be tweaked?

Thanks for taking a look at this stub I created for one of the newest justices of the Arizona Supreme Court. I'm just curious as to why you chose to leave the "New Unreviewed Article" tag in place after your changes? The article is marked as a stub, and will hopefully grow over time, but I think it's sufficient to be considered "reviewed" (particularly after your helpful cleanup) and am curious if I'm missing something on that count. --NDSteve10 (talk) 16:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC) Zorobabela Kaʻauwai[edit]Can you fix this?

Deletion of redirects[edit]I see you deleted many redirects with the reason Non-matching redirect to a disambiguation page; terms should only redirect to a disambiguation page if they are minor variations of spelling or punctuation. The names of professional cycling teams changes every year and have all many incoming link which are now all red. From this year the name of the men's and women's teams have the same name, that might be the reason they were linked to a disamb page. I recreated Liv-Plantur, Skil Koga, Team Skil-Argos and Skil 1t4i. Can you please do any others (if there are any others)? Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 09:40, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Fixed first reference per WP:CS. Kindly do the needful for the rest. The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page.

Your contribution is better than that of a previous editor who simply removed the brackets on names to disambiguation pages for the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830 and the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1850. I've begun working through the 1830 Convention chart, creating new bio articles for Samuel Taylor (Virginian) to disambiguate, and for Philip N. Nicholas to remove a red link in the chart. Other daughter articles of Virginia Conventions (nominated as a Good Article), with charts holding links to disambiguation pages, are:
Sorry, I have not yet figured out how to make them into a topic, "Virginia Constitutional Conventions", but I am searching. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 13:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC) ) Merry Christmas[edit]![]()
