Σ
The lowercase sigmabots and my Toolforge services are still running, but are unmaintained. In the event of crashes/outages/errors, note that aside from myself, User:dbeef, User:The Earwig, and User:Enterprisey also have administrative access and can troubleshoot.
Conflict of interest reminder
editHello @Σ, I appreciate your collaboration on Wikipedia; However, I noticed you are in a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest is the incompatibility between Wikipedia's objectives of neutrality and reliability and the particular objectives of certain editors, individuals, entities, or companies of any type.
All contributions in the main space are subject to the policies of content criteria of this Wikipedia (what Wikipedia is not), encyclopedic quality (verifiability and no original research), editorial method (neutral point of view), and legitimacy of content (copyrights). All publishers are expected to abide by these policies when creating and evaluating content and to respect and assume good faith in the actions of other publishers to ensure that these policies are followed.
If you edit under a conflict of interest, you must apply the corresponding policy with special care; Otherwise, your user account could be considered private purpose and blocked. Feel free to reach out on my talk page if you have any questions. Niloytanvir566 (talk) 07:10, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure this account is a bot. FinalForm (talk) 20:24, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @FinalForm: lowercase sigmabot (talk · contribs) is a bot, as are lowercase sigmabot II (talk · contribs) lowercase sigmabot III (talk · contribs) lowercase sigmabot IV (talk · contribs) and some others; but Σ (talk · contribs) is human. However, we can't really answer properly, since Niloytanvir566 (talk · contribs) has not said which edit - or even which page - this matter concerns. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2026 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day!

Archiving and newsletters
editI'm very grateful for the way Lowercase sigmabot III removes the need to manually archive my talk page, but I wonder if it could please offer an extra feature?
Instead of moving newsletters (The Bugle, The Signpost, Wikidata weekly summary, Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin, This Month in Education etc.), all of which have their own archives, I would like it to simply delete them.
This could be done with a header like, say:
{{User:MiszaBot/config
|archivenews=no
or alternatively a per-newsletter set of headers:
{{User:MiszaBot/config
|noarchive=Bugle; Signpost; Wikidata weekly
or even a per-sender set:
{{User:MiszaBot/config
|noarchive=MediaWiki message delivery; DPL bot
