Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Inactive admin email

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, <User>!

We've been missing you on Wikipedia, and hope you'll be coming back some time soon.

But in the meantime we just wanted to warn you that we recently had a security incident when someone managed to hack the account of one of your fellow admins. Hence, we are sending this note to all inactive administrators.

If you don't already have a strong password on your Wikipedia account, or if you haven't recently reset your password, please could you log into Wikipedia and reset your password.

If you don't plan on editing Wikipedia in the foreseeable future you might consider getting your admin bit removed by logging in and posting to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRP#Removal_of_access or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Resign. When and if you do come back, adminship can be restored by any bureaucrat at any time by simple request; there should be no need to go through RFA again.

We appreciate your help in this matter, and hope to see you back at Wikipedia soon!
