ArbCom 2019 special circular
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 03:02, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community. Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered. For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Administrators' newsletter – May 2019News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
Sorry to botherI started work on sourcing the IWD article a little better and i am struggling to come up with how to actually source that May Day is celebrated in places like Ethiopia or Somalia. Would something like lonelyplanet do? Not really confident it would though, hence me asking. I used info from Air France, a german Telecom company and RTE (electricity company) to source the same info in other places, which i assume is acceptable? Otherwise i am just not sure what to look for to verify it, given i don't speak amharic lol. Any thoughts, pointers or hints on the matter would be appreciated. 91.248.136.141 (talk) 20:48, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Renaming a title (of "U.S. intervention in Venezuela")Best greetings; I've created an article by the name of "U.S. intervention in Venezuela", but a user renamed its title to "Foreign involvement during the Venezuelan presidential crisis". Actually, although it was mentioned in AFD ([1]) (concerning the disagreement of the rename), --but-- he renamed it without surveying the view of others. Afterwards, I'd undo its change (to return it to its first title), but seemingly I hadn't/haven't such option to undo that. Hence, I appreciate your help --to solve the discussion (to return its first name). Ali Ahwazi (talk) 17:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Could I ask you to be more careful?My last two consecutive article edits have been to clean up unfortunate typos from your edits. This and this. Think about that.

The difference between sex and gender.Hi It appears you do not understand the difference between sex (i.e male and female, a biological construct) and that of gender identity. Th Wiki is not about gender identity, it is about the male and female sex. Hence it is *sex and not gender. Male and female, this is where we get sex, heterosexual, sex-equality, sexism etc from. Gender has nothing to do with it and I made clear the two things should not be confused.

Wikipedia:Selected anniversariesI see that you reverted 17 of my edits to "Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries" pages. I admit that in Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/April 27 I messed up when I dropped the y in livery. Other than that, I believe my changes are correct in that they removed bogus image options lint errors. My changes also improved the displayed captions. For example, Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/April 26, the right-most image caption improved from "border=yes" to "B&O Royal Blue". In other examples, I prevented bad line breaks. Your edit summary each time was "there's a reason for this". Kindly let me know the reason(s) that applied to the 17 reversions (other than, of course, misspelling "livery"). (I am glad to see that you did not revert my edit to Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/April 14, where the lint error I fixed was fostered content.)

Selected anniversaries for August 9Hello. I saw the changes that you made to the selected anniversaries for August 9, which will be shown on the Main Page in a few days' time. I do not know if the selection of blurbs among those that are in the staging area is random (aside from the restrictions), but my attempt to change some of those was reverted. I did see that my edit resulted in that page having too many 20th century events, but it had already happened at least once, such as in 2018. Was that a valid excuse for the revert? Also, do you think the use of the word cheers (in a probably inappropriate use) in the edit summary might have qualified as a breach of a now-vacated motion? I would have wanted to have the anniversaries for the Fat Man bomb and the expulsion of Singapore from Malaysia displayed on the Main Page, as those events are celebrating their 75th and 55th anniversaries respectively this year. Would it be possible to exempt this year (and not again until the 100th anniversary) from the restriction that the anniversaries for Little Boy and Fat Man should not appear in the same year? Thanks.

Beethoven's 250thHi, Howcheng. I'm not sure if there are any plans for Beethoven 250th birthday to be featured on MainPage. There is no official record of his birth. He was baptised on December 17th. Shall we have this on the SA/OTD template? It's neither a birth nor a death, so I don't know what the format should be. Any thoughts, please? Thank you. --PFHLai (talk) 20:59, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Brook Taylor copy editing tagHey I noticed you were the one who added a copy editing tag to the article on mathematician Brook Taylor for "cleaning up the stilted language of the original Britannica article." I went through and did some minor edits, but I couldn't determine why you added the tag in the first place, or if my edits fixed the problem. (This is the version you flagged by the way, and this is the current version). I'd appreciate some clarification if you have the chance. Cheers. Fredlesaltique (talk) 08:18, 6 January 2021 (UTC) Addition of a day on tomorrow's selected anniversariesHello, Howcheng. I recently created the page Day of the Unification of the Romanian Principalities, which is about a Romanian holiday celebrated on 24 January. I created it with the intention of adding it later to Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/January 24, but I didn't know that I can't edit a selected anniversaries page if it will be shown tomorrow. Since you seem to be the most engaged person on the subject of selected anniversaries, is it possible for you to add this holiday at January 24's selected anniversaries? There is no holiday featured yet from what I see. I would appreciate if you did this but I also understand if this request is rejected or ignored as I am asking for a last minute change to an important page. Regards.

Footnote 21 in Mongol siege of KaifengHi, Howcheng. I see that you have reverted my edit in the SA/OTD template for Feb. 26th with a note saying "footnote 21 ("Siege of Kaifeng" section)". May I ask if you plan to insert this footnote, please? The date currently appears in that section of the article, but that sentence with the footnote and the date is not related to the hook on the SA/OTD template. I don't have the book to check, so I cannot insert the footnote myself to a sentence related to the hook material. Please advise. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 20:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Requesting inputs & helpGreetings, Lot many events like Women's protest March do take place on International Women's Day, amongst them, since 2018 Pakistan women take out Aurat March and is leading to substantial social discourse in Pakistan, with substantial media coverage. Earlier I requested help to see if Aurat March and/or International Women's Day can be nominated Wikipedia main page 'Ongoing' sub section of Wikipedia:In the news section ?

Hi Howcheng, just a heads up that I think you missed a closing "noinclude" tag when you updated tomorrow's OTD, which I think would have caused it not to appear on the main page correctly. Luckily I just happened to glance at WP:Main Page/Tomorrow and spotted that the OTD was missing. I think I've fixed it, but if you see any issues then do let me know.

Birth yearWikipedia:Selected anniversaries/April 18. The Ippolita Maria Sforza article has conflicting birth years, 1445 and 1446, and the reference is offline. [[User:|Art LaPella]] (talk) 05:49, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Format of automatic signaturesFor years a cloud of gloom has obscured my joy—this cloud having been borne by a certain aspect of the Wikipedia protocol of using four tildes to automatically sign one's notes. In particular, that aspect is the lack of a suitable transition between the signator's name and the preceding body of text. Even a space would be vastly preferable to no transition. Eventually, I developed the habit of consciously inserting a space between the end of my notes and the start of my tildeic sequence. Yet this barely satisfied. Today, on an article's Talk page, I chanced to see your markup construction that left a dash before your name, in your signature. At first, the curious combination of punctuatory sigils puzzled—I was critical and suspicious of the naked characters—I said to myself, Lo, what trickery hath here been wrought? When I saw the practical result, my attitude inverted and I was well pleased. Kudos to you, for your delightful, useful invention. It is strong enough to qualify as a candidate for being a universal change to the effect of the quadtildean signature protocol. I’ve not yet endeavored to assimilate the change into mine own signature, but I assure you that doing so is now my priority. Again, I praise your creativity and I salute you.

Your edits on Lise de BaissacOn the Lise de Baissac article I rolled back your edits because you changed the footnote O'Connor 2012 to O'Connor 2016 which is incorrect as it refers to the wrong O'Connor book. That's understandable on your part as the wrong O'Connor book is listed in the bibliography. So, I have made the appropriate changes in the bibliography and notes to get the O'Connor references correct. However, my rollback seems to have had an unintended consequence. The footnotes related to Binney, 2003 have a weird error message in red as follows: Binney 2003, p. 141. sfn error: multiple targets (2×): CITEREFBinney2003 (help). I don't perceive what the problem is and a search on Wikipedia help didn't enlighten me. Can you help or explain? Thanks. Smallchief (talk) 08:51, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

--JSFarman (talk) 02:08, 4 January 2022 (UTC) How we will see unregistered usersHi! You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help. If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter. We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January. Thank you. /Johan (WMF) 18:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC) LA to FA 2022

2022 May 18 - OTDWas wondering if Bath School disaster might be included in OTD this year. Previous OTD appearances were 2013 & 2017 and it was TFA for May 18th in 2020 so it hasn't been seen in OTD for 5 years. Thx, Shearonink (talk) 15:52, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Way in advance but OTD question about Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/September 11Last year I improved Mountain Meadows Massacre enough for it to achieve WP:GA status. It's been listed in the OTD section before but hasn't appeared since 2011. I realized recently (after I had added the Massacre article back into the September 11 OTD a while back) that there are now two US OTD entries from the 1850s (Christiana Riots + the Massacre article) now listed and that probably won't fly. I was thinking it might be appropriate for the Massacre article to appear again, especially in light of the Under the Banner of Heaven/Andrew Garfield-FX on Hulu TV series that's been in the news recently. (I confess I haven't been watching it but the book the series is based on includes extensive coverage of the Massacre.) Anyway, wanted to get your thoughts, etc. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 17:03, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Help with "On this day"I've been hoping to get an article I've written mentioned in WP:Selected anniversaries for a while, but I'm not quite clear on what the process for this is supposed to be. I see that you've been doing them the last few years, so you seem like the person to ask. If I have a couple entries for this month (Island No. 2, which I've put on the page for January 19, and Chain Island, which I've put on the page for Januar 26), should I do anything extra to make sure one of them gets run? If both of those days' queues are full for this year, of course, I can try to find something else. I remember about a year ago I tried to follow the instructions and just add stuff to a day, and it just got removed before publication because I'd put it in the wrong place or something. jp×g 21:41, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
