Lincoln Diocese - Safeguarding

Hello Ealdgyth I noticed you deleted wholesale a new section on Lincoln Diocese page - all of which had been accurately cited and referenced. By same token you'd need to edit out the same section on Diocese of Chichester page which has involved many editors and many references? The same heading (Safeguarding) was used, and placed in the same place in the article. Don't you think recent BBC revelations about the diocese, multiple cover-ups, diocesan failure on a scale with or perhaps even greater than Chichester - warrant inclusion in wiki? Your deletion implies that the record of a diocese's widespread failure in safeguarding is not a significant part of its history? Please can you undo your deletion, or explain your reasons why. In which case you should seek to address the same issue with the Chichester Diocese page as well? I suspect all the editors who have contibuted to that section would be surprised to see their work deleted in such a sudden way without question. Joelionheart (talk) 15:22, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

AQHA website redesign

Hi Ealdgyth. I had some time today, so I played around with that long URL for the AQHA hall of fame a bit. I found that if you only use the first bit of it up to the horse's name and with the ? mark, it works. You don't need all the rest of that nonsense. I was able to update Baby Doll Combs article successfully. Here's what I used: [1] Much shorter.

That's the good news. The not so good news is that all of AQHA seems to be redesigned and the links for AQHA need updated for all of their articles, not just the hall of fame. Well, anyway, I wanted to update the two rodeo horses who were also AQHA hall of fame members to see if I could. I think some sort of strategy to update the AQHA links might be needed. For example, I am working on how to update rodeo articles as the Professional Bull Riders and the ProBullStats web sites have both redesigned their websites and that's 100s of links in Wikipedia. Not to mention how they have broken all my links in my social media accounts, email, and bookmarks, etc. Such fun! Still working on Make It Do. dawnleelynn^(talk) 19:17, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Scarlett Johansson

Hello. Can you please schedule another article on Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 30, 2019 instead of Scarlett Johansson's? I have another date planned for her main page appearance. Thanks. FrB.TG (talk) 08:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

@FrB.TG: What anniversary are you thinking of? I double checked both Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests and Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/pending before scheduling ... it is greatly helpful if folks who want a specific date would use those to give schedulers a heads up. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:03, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

I was thinking maybe on the day of release of her own solo Black Widow film (who knows when that’s gonna happen though). If not that, then maybe on her 35th birthday, but the former is the top priority. FrB.TG (talk) 10:44, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 May newsletter

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:

• Cas Liber (1210), our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three DYKs. He also made good use of the bonus points available, more than doubling his score by choosing appropriate articles to work on.
• Kosack (750), last year's runner up, with an FA, a GA, two FLs, and five DYKs.
• Adam Cuerden (480), a WikiCup veteran, with 16 featured pictures, mostly restorations.
• Zwerg Nase (461), a seasoned competitor, with a FA, a GA and an ITN item.

Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.

So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:44, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Template:Z152

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) Template:Z83

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment concluded that creating pages in the portal namespace should be restricted to autoconfirmed users.
• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Technical news

• XTools Admin Stats, a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: Steward Stats and Patroller Stats.

Arbitration

• In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion amending the procedures for return of permissions (diff). In such cases, the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
• Following a formal ratification process, the arbitration policy has been amended (diff). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication.

Miscellaneous

• A request for comment is currently open to amend the community sanctions procedure to exclude non XfD or CSD deletions.
• A proposal to remove pre-2009 indefinite IP blocks is currently open for discussion.
