Do you need administrator assistance?

Have you run across a problem that requires the attention of an Administrator?

The fastest way to catch the attention of administrators in general is to post an alert to the Administrators' noticeboard (A.N.). Administrators go there all the time to see what is up with Wikipedia; one of them will see your message and will take immediate appropriate action. Experienced editors hang out there too and sometimes will answer a question before an Admin gets to it.

Another option is to paste a {{admin help}} template (with the four curly braces) along with your question on to your Talk page and an Admin will stop by shortly.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

Deletion discussion about Anders Ekström (historian of ideas)

edit

Hello, Ytterbium174,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Anders Ekström (historian of ideas) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anders Ekström (historian of ideas) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
