== [[Dan Shumow]] courtesy notice ==

Hello Thue, back in 2013 you created this "quick article", I presume in anticipation more coverage of Shumow would emerge because of Snowden's revelations. Eleven years on, it doesn't look like this has happened. I intend to redirect Shumov's article to [[Dual_EC_DRBG]] where his work is discussed. Is that okay with you? – [[User:Teratix|Tera]]'''[[User talk:Teratix|tix]]''' [[Special:Contributions/Teratix|₵]] 15:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

:{{reply to|Teratix}} I agree that he is marginally notable. But I don't see how it would make Wikipedia better to delete the current small page? Just leave it as it is, it is better than nothing. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, we won't run out of paper. People reading about Dual_EC_DRBG here or elsewhere will be curious who he is, will look him up, and will be best served with the current page instead of a redirect. [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 18:38, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

::But surely readers are better served by redirection to a larger article that places Shumov's role in context compared to a poorly referenced stub? If you would really prefer to cover Shumov in an independent article, it will need some better citations. – [[User:Teratix|Tera]]'''[[User talk:Teratix|tix]]''' [[Special:Contributions/Teratix|₵]] 07:08, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

:::{{reply to|Teratix}} If people have specifically ended up on the Shumow page, then it is because they specifically want to know about who Shumov is. Redirecting readers to some other article not about Shumov, and which is not written with the goal of saying who Shumov is so readers have to hope they can dig out details about who Shumov is, is obviously not the optimal solution. And the link to Dual_EC_DRBG will be right there in Shumov's article, trivial to click, if people want to know the context about that. Even a small stub is far better for readers than the redirect you are proposing. [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 19:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

::::Look, I basically expected one of two responses to this notice: (1) "Yeah sure, I thought he'd get more coverage but that hasn't happened, go ahead and redirect." (2) "No, he's actually a pretty notable figure, the article just needs to be expanded, here's a few links."

::::I didn't really expect an administrator to double down and argue the article in its current state is perfectly acceptable. It exclusively relies on primary sources associated with Shumov himself. – [[User:Teratix|Tera]]'''[[User talk:Teratix|tix]]''' [[Special:Contributions/Teratix|₵]] 14:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

== Introduction to contentious topics ==

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people''', a topic designated as '''[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

*adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;

*comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;

*follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

*comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

*refrain from gaming the system.

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}} — [[User:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">Red-tailed hawk</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">(nest)</span>]]</sub> 14:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

== Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]]This is a reminder that established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|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.{{pb}}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 [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard|bureaucrats' noticeboard]].{{pb}}Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — [[User:JJMC89 bot|JJMC89 '''bot''']] 00:25, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
