edit...welcome back! Is this permanent, or are you just passing through? Grutness...wha? 13:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Orphan Update
editYou may want to take Joint Planning Document out of "User:Alai/orphansA-L (links)" since I have updated it to fix it. Thanks. sidna (talk) 10:56am (gmt+5), 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Backness
editBack in any form is better than not back at all. As you may have gathered, I've eased back on my WP:WSS work (I had pretty bad health problems earlier in the year). I'm concentrating more on other things here - like actually writing articles - and spending a little less time on WP in general. Grutness...wha? 10:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

A little task...
editHi Alai - sorry to bump work on you so soon after you're back, but you may be the best person to handle this one. It's a fairly straightforward SFD closure, but both Pegship and I have been involved in the debate (battling a fractious editor who keeps changing categories and templates around and who is one step short of a block). It just needs an official closure from someone not involved in the argument, after which any of us can do the renaming/deleting work. Grutness...wha? 00:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The Dark Side (Gregorian album)
editI just wanted to let you know that the album The Dark Side has moved. Its old name was not in keeping with the site standard for album names. The only two pages left that link to the old name are in the userspace [including one on your Alai/album-infobox page. I personally find it the height of rudeness to edit something in the userspace that is not my own, unless there's an actual violation or the user is long since gone from the site. And this is certainly far from a high priority change ;) Just thought you should know is all. Best regards, Lostdrewid (talk) 16:14, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity
edit
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Greetings! A stub template or category which you created has been nominated for renaming or deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type most likely doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements for a stub type, through failure to meet standards relating to the name, scope, current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals!

Notice of change
editHello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

editHallo Alai, Im Dan, bureaucrat on Wikispecies. We are presently busy with cleaning up old files, many stubs, but the problem is to find them. We were thinking of a bot that could trace them, and insert category stub, so we have them sorted for later decision what to do, see our discussion on the WS Village pump.
It seems your bot is doing that, and some other useful things, why I want to ask you if it would be OK for us to use it on Wikispecies?
If its OK with you, it can be placed for approval here.
Best regards, Dan Koehl (talk) 22:15, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Your inactive bot(s)
editHello Alai. We currently show that you are the operator on file for at least one bot account that appears to be inactive. Please see the discussion and list of bots here: Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard#Inactive bots over 5 years. If you are no longer operating your bot, no action is required - your bot will be marked as retired and have the bot flag removed. Should your bot be retired and you wish to revive it in the future, please request bot authorization at WP:BRFA. If you are still in control of your bot (including knowing its hopefully strong password) and wish to maintain the bot flag, please sign the table on the linked discussion. Thank you, — xaosflux Talk 14:43, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
