Please read before posting
- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Also, if you are contacting me for a matter related to the Arbitration Committee, please specifically indicate this in your email. All correspondence of this nature will be treated as confidential, though I am likely to forward it to the Committee as a whole, or any appropriate subcommittee, for consideration.
- If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
- While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
- I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others. I will only revision delete material on this page in accordance with the revision deletion policy, and will clearly denote the reason why.
Good luck
Miraclepine wishes you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a prosperous decade of change and fortune.

Administrators' newsletter – January 2020

Guideline and policy news
- A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
- A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
- Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
Arbitration
- The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being
the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted
rather thanreasonably construed
. - Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.

My "Draft:The Thin Gold Line" page
Hello there! Thank you for the work you are doing, I can imagine that is not always easy :)
My draft page "Draft:The Thin Gold Line" has been deleted by you yesterday because of Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Do you think there is a way to make a company wiki page without advertising or promote? Should I delete some "wrong" text? My goal is to say that this brand exist and that their product is the largest hot gold foil stamping realization to date.
Let me know what you think.
In any case can I have back the draft page, even only for few minutes just to copy some text that I need?
Thank you very much for your precious time!

- Iamyouaresheis, yes, we have many articles about companies and products. They are required to be neutral in tone and content, based upon reliable and independent sources. If substantial amounts of such reference material do not exist, we should not have an article about the subject. In this case, the sources looked rather like blogs (which are not reliable) and read like reprinted press releases (the first source actually acknowledges such) which are not independent. The article contains a fair bit of marketese, such as use of the meaningless "brand" (is it a product? A company? Then call it that.), and fluffy "talking up" like
The Thin Gold Line is also a technical achievement: the art prints being the largest hot gold foil stamping realization to date, printed on the blackest paper in the world
. (And such an assertion would need a much more reliable source than what essentially looks like a blog). I don't restore advertisements on-wiki, but if you'd like to have a copy of the deleted text to use elsewhere, I can send it by email. If you'd like me to do that, let me know whether you would like the text as plain text or with wiki markup. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Your editing/message for User talk:BrooklandKendall
I'm a new registered user on Wikipedia. I'm surprised you left me such an aggressive message about possibly banning me. It would have been more appropriate to simply explain the siutaiton and then let me respond. I was under the impression my user sandbox was a place to experiment with editing before posting an article. The sandbox content you chastised me for was later posted as a live article. I'm not spamming Wikiepedia. I'm trying to follow what I though was a legitimate use of my page. I won't repost what was in my sandbox because, like I said, I was just "practicing".
