John, Thank You for your concern but I think since it's a new company that it shouldn't be seen as defunct and bankrupt. It was never owned by Systemax. The brand was. If anything the Corp. should be kept and the regular circuit city should be changed to a brand.

Thanks for catching [[User:PharmEditor]]. They appear to have a SOCK or MEAT account that edited right behind them on [[Zolpidem]] (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Zolpidem&action=history history]) namely [[User:TheBestEditerEver]].

Hi, may I know why you reverted my edits on the [[Ethan Bortnick]] page? I am assuming that I must have done something wrong. If that is the case, I would like to know why so that I can learn from my mistake so that I can be a better Wikipedia contributor. |

In November of 2007 [[Potions in Harry Potter]] was deleted as a the result of a [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Potions in Harry Potter|deletion discussion]] due to its failure of [[WP:FICT]], [[WP:PLOT]], [[WP:WAF]], and other issues. On June 4, 2015 the article was recreated from content [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Magical_objects_in_Harry_Potter&oldid=526106881#Potions then currently existing] on the [[Magical objects in Harry Potter]] article. A [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Novels/Harry_Potter_task_force#The_potions_have_reapparated.21|discussion]] followed regarding the appropriateness of the recreation. An attempt was made to return this article to a redirect, which was undone a day later. Some months later, a [[Talk:Potions_in_Harry_Potter#Serving_notice_of_intent_to_AfD_this_article|notice was placed on the article's talk page]] indicating the article would be placed for deletion. A few days ago, the article was placed for [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]]. This too was undone. |

Throughout the history of the article, which spans more than a decade, it has never had any references. It has always been written in in-universe style. No outside universe perspective has ever been provided. As of June 2016, it will have been tagged for both of these problems for a year. I have asked, begged, and pleaded with people to rewrite this article to no avail. As the article stands (and has always stood), it continues to fail [[WP:FICT]], [[WP:PLOT]], and [[WP:WAF]]. There have been suggestions to merge the content back to [[Magical objects in Harry Potter]], but this completely fails to address the failures noted. ''Where'' the content exists, either in its own article or as part of another, matters not. The issue is the content itself. |
|||
Barring a massive rewrite of the entire article into something that is encyclopedic in its treatment of the subject, I will be placing it for deletion on June 4, 2016. This notice is being sent as a last ditch attempt to find one or more people willing to do something to fix the serious problems extant in this content.

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, John Reaves. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. |

[[WP:BLUELOCK|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 [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|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. |
|||
{| style="border: 5px solid #ABCDEF" |
|||
In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|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: |
|||
|rowspan="2" style="vertical-align:middle;" | |
|||
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort. |
|||
|rowspan="2" | |
|||
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard. |

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|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 [[Special:Preferences|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 [[Help:Two-factor authentication|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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers == |
|||
Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}. |
|||
A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''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 [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|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]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC) |
