The article ] has been ] because of the following concern:

== Adminship? ==

Hi PamD, I recognize that you have been asked many times before, but I'm hoping your answer may have changed in the last few years: would you consider running for adminship? With a record as long and as spotless as yours I expect you would have a very smooth RFA. I would gladly write a nomination - though it may be superfluous in your case - and I imagine a good many others would, too. Even if you only used the tools to deal with things you would otherwise have left to an admin, it would be of considerable benefit, given your activity levels. Best, ] (]) 01:17, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

:@] Thank you for your expression of confidence. Yes, I've been asked a few times over the years, but I really very rarely find there are things I can't do as a non-admin (the occasional move over an existing redirect with a history, etc), and I'd rather not take on the responsibility of feeling that I ought to be doing proper admin stuff, rather than gnoming around the encyclopedia improving or creating random articles as the spirit takes me. So I'll continue without a mop, just helping out as and when I see a need or find an interest, like ] (inspired by ]).
:I think I would also find it a worry to have to think "Am I using an admin power incorrectly here" when implementing my own choices, and am happier to leave it well alone. And yes, I sometimes feel guilty when I read about the shrinking corps of Admins, but we're all here as volunteers and I choose to contribute in my own way, selfishly. Maybe, if ever we get the house sorted out after a move 15 months ago, and if I catch up on my piles of un-managed domestic paperwork, I might reconsider. But thanks, anyway. ]] 10:05, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
::I appreciate the detailed explanation. I would be very pleased if you reconsidered at some point, and my offer remains open. Best regards, ] (]) 16:43, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Lancashire Police & Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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) 04:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Major conflict of interest

I want to bring to your attention a few pages where I believe there is a major conflict of interest or paid editing. These include the pages for Dipali Goenka, Manish Kejriwal, and B. K. Goenka (deleted multiple times). All three pages are of poor quality, and it’s worth noting that the first two were moved into the namespace by the same user ID. The last page was similarly moved into the namespace, possibly by a related ID, and the subject is Dipali Goenka's husband. What should we do about it?
