User:Tttom and User:TTThom
Thank you for putting the 'in memoriam' notice on the Commons user page for User:TTThom. I remember well seeing his artworks here when he first released them for use, and was saddened to only just now learn that he had died. Confusingly, his Wikipedia account seems to have had a different spelling: User:Tttom. I see that you placed a memorial notice on his Wikipedia talk page. Do you think it is worth putting something on his user page as well (I am not up-to-date on the latest policies around that)? I did notice that (mostly automated) messages are still being left on his user talk page (I can't remember if there is a mechanism to avoid that or if trying too hard to avoid that can cause unexpected problems?).
The other question I had is whether is is OK to make the link with (and link to) the Wikipedia article that was created recently by User:Chiswick Chap (I am linking his username to alert him to this discussion)? The article is at Tom Loback. I can understand if the link should not be made explicit, but would an entry at Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2015 be justifiable?

- Thanks for letting me know. We should definitely have a notice on his Wikipedia page; his identity was not secret, but at this point it would not matter anyway. I'd like to mention it also on WikiProject Middle-earth. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:55, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Chiswick Chap: :Hello and thank you for contacting me about these matters. I believe the common place for memorial templates at the English Wikipedia is still the user's talk page because that is where most other users would try to contact them. At Commons we put such notes on a deceased user's "front page".
- As to linking from the article, I wouldn't do that but we might want to add Tom Loback aka User:Tttom to Wikipedia:Notable people who have edited Wikipedia. What do you think?
- OK. I'm not sure I see why the links are fine in one direction but not the other, unless you're waiting for a reliable source or something. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:15, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe it's me though who is misunderstanding the links question on linking, so could you please give some examples of which links bidirectional or otherwise between the article and his user pagevyou meant? I do think, however, that an entry at Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2015 is jusitified. De728631 (talk) 05:53, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Please go ahead then, that's sufficient. We'd need a RS to say he was a Wikipedian. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:18, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- I tried to add something at WP:Deceased Wikipedians/2015 but there appears to be some template mechanic behind it that I didn't get. I asked Pigsonthewing instead who is a project member for this tyoe of affairs. De728631 (talk) 13:46, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

@Carcharoth and Chiswick Chap: I was given instructions how to edit that page, and so I wrote a section about Tom at WP:Deceased Wikipedians/2015. Please feel free to improve and copyedit it. De728631 (talk) 11:21, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Looks good. Many thanks for writing that. Carcharoth (talk) 00:15, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
A Request
Hello @De728631, may I ask you for a proofreading? It is user:Alossola/WDR Big Band which I translated from de:WDR Big Band, leaving out "Bandleader".
From April 17, oldid=1150281781, on, I developed the lemma some more, especially writing "short history" to replace the translated "History".
I'd be delighted by your contribution!
If you are too occupied elsewhere, do you know anybody else I might ask? Alossola (talk) 15:15, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Alossola: Hi there, and congratulations to the nice article. I had a look at it and found it well-written and true to the German version. Well done. De728631 (talk) 15:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- @De728631: Thank you very much! Despite some experience I still struggle with nifty details like prepositions etc. - false friends are my friends ;) Alossola (talk) 18:40, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Always precious
Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:32, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin 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 rejoin 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 00:21, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
