Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder
[edit]This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.
Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:33, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I've removed the admin flag per your request. Give me a shout if you want rollback, filemover etc. Thanks for all that you've done. ϢereSpielChequers 06:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

PRODded Analog-to-digital timeline
[edit]Hi Bob, I just PRODded Analog-to-digital timeline. My reason is that everything is getting digitized and the list would be incredibly unwieldy. I hope you agree. — Sean Brunnock (talk) 12:05, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

The article Analog-to-digital timeline has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This will eventually be an unwieldily list of all digital devices (scales, cameras, light bulbs...).
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}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sean Brunnock (talk) 11:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Analog-to-digital timeline until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

The article Emerald-striped slim has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
A. pinheyi is now considered a synonym of A. gracile by the World Odonata List and this taxonomy is followed by the IUCN. I've already retargeted Aciagrion pinheyi, but this common name appears to no longer be in use
