Inactivity notice[edit]

Hi! I used to be very, very active on Wikipedia. Then I fell in love. Now I'm a lot less active on Wikipedia. I do still pop in from time to time, but be aware that I'm likely to let months go by without checking in, so if you need immediate help, you should probably ask someone else. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:50, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Loves Pride 2014[edit]

Hi FisherQueen. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer _(Talk) 15:53, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete Charlie Z's page?[edit]

Proving notability of PWMN article[edit]

The article on the PWMN network community (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patras_wireless_metropolitan_network) was deleted under speedy deletion (A7). The page is not to promote an organization but rather to provide information and geographical and historical facts about "Patras wireless metropolitan network". The network is actually one of the first community wireless networks in the world (the related academic publications cite Patras Wireless Network along with a few others e.g. Seattle Wireless and NYC wireless) and the first one in Greece in 2001, starting as "Patras Wireless Network" http://www.patraswireless.net/ and continuing on as Patras Wireless Metropolitan Network (the transition is mentioned here http://www.patraswireless.net/Patras_Wireless_Metropolitan_Network.html).

Here are some points that prove the notability of the PWMN network:

1. The network has been cited as and used as a testbed for university research and network tools (check for Patras Wireless Network in the text) e.g.:

http://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse561/04au/projects/papers/Reis-Gopalratnam.pdf

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1488856

http://www.iaeng.org/publication/IMECS2013/IMECS2013_pp585-590.pdf

2. The contribution of PWMN to the local community is notable. It was invited to give a talk at a conference of the Technical Chamber of Greece (called TEE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_Chamber_of_Greece http://web.tee.gr/) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cs8CIBU0-0

3. It is of course listed in many online lists as one of the major community networks:

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity[edit]

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Notification of imminent suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity[edit]

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next several days. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA.

Admin userright suspended[edit]

Hi FisherQueen, I've now removed your sysop userright, per previous talk page notifications, under WP:Inactive administrators. Thank you very much for your service. Worm^TT(talk) 12:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I missed that whole discussion, and the notices, which is a good sign that I am, indeed, not at all active anymore. I think the deactivation of my admin privileges is totally reasonable - I'm certainly not familiar with any changes in rules or practices that have happened in several years, and probably shouldn't be using those buttons unless I do someday become a lot more active and take time to learn what's been happening around Wikipedia. Thanks for letting me know. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:29, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Grand Guignol poster.jpg[edit]

⚠
Thanks for uploading File:Grand Guignol poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 03:53, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your deletion to Template:Uw-chat4im[edit]

Thank you for deleting this page, but could you explain why? Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions | block) 04:10, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since FQ has only been sporadically active (though I see you were here a month ago, hi there!)), I'll respond - it was a creation by a vandal/sock who was trying to be a little too cute by making their own templates. And it was in 2009. Is there something I can help you with? Acroterion (talk) 04:16, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
