I neglected bullet 5:

• Consider permanent/long-term semi-retirement. Set narrower boundaries for your Wikipedia participation, and stay within them for the most part. It works great for me, and we have a lot in common. (There are other external factors contributing to my success with this game change, so YMMV.) ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 05:23, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm taking things a day at a time for the moment, but longer breaks may not be the worst idea. —Locke Cole • t • c 18:14, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not speaking of wikibreaks. Rather, just dialing it back, duration TBD but extended. "Semi-retirement" is the term I use for that. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 05:50, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bullet 6:

• Serenity Prayer. Learn it. Love it. Live it. If this continues I'm sending you a bill. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 15:08, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Final Fantasy VI (SFC retail box art).svg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Final Fantasy VI (SFC retail box art).svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:29, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Locke Cole. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and noted for future reference. —Locke Cole • t • c • b 18:36, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Duane Roberts

The article Duane Roberts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:SINGLEEVENT seems to apply here - sources only now exist due to his death, and not able for perhaps inventing the frozen burrito. (I don't see co-owning the hotel as generating any broad coverage from the past).

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.
