Bodyscape
You deleted that page a while ago offering that it duplicated nude photogrpahy. Clearly I can't see its content, however 1) nude photography does not contain the word bodyscape (indeed WP very nearly doesn't) and 2) although bodyscapes are commonly created with a model or subject who is nude, they need not be and are not always. Particularly if the studio is a bit cold. Do you think that since the reason given for deletion is clearly not correct now - I may mean current - now is the time to restore the deleted article? Are there any other misgivings you might have about such an article, please? Lastly, might it have been helpful rather than delting the page to make it a redirect to the article which, at the time, was said to cover the subject which someone landing there was presumably looking for? I do but things may have changed. Midgley (talk) 19:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nancy, I updated my page, but it was deleted. I cannot find the person who did it on the list, so hope that you can help me. I don't believe that my updates have broken any rules as they provide updated information on projects I have worked on, that Alchemy has been bought and the removal of my age and DOB.
I do not want my age and DOB disclosed. Could you help me get my update accepted please. barry@airstudios.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snapcod (talk • contribs) 14:32, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of “Alex Keener”
Hi, this page was deleted back in 2009. I believe the deletion of the page followed established guidelines for qualified reasons. But today, several Wikipedia entries link to “Alex Keener” as an established actor (googling him issues a top result, as well as sourced credits from IMDB). I’d like to respectfully request that the editing of this page be reinstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5131:810:1837:B1E3:F634:D91 (talk) 15:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
The file File:Coat of Arms of Argeliers.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Redundant to File:Blason ville fr Argeliers (Aude).svg which is hosted on Commons
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salavat (talk) 03:32, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

- Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

- An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.
- IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.
- The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request.
