== Workshopping bureaucrat activity requirements ==

:''(Message to all bureaucrats)''
There is an [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#More stringent requirements on admin activity|ongoing discussion]] about implementing some kind of standards for administrative and bureaucrat activity levels; and activity requirements for bureaucrats have been explored several times in the past. I've prepared a draft addition to [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats]] that would require [[Wikipedia talk:Bureaucrats#Activity requirement|at least one bureaucratic action every five years to retain the bureaucrat permission]].

In the past, I've been hesitant of such proposals but I believe that if the bureaucrat group as a whole is seen to be actively engaged, the community may be more willing to grant additional tasks to the position.

Please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure if this actually applies to any of us, but if you have not acted as a bureaucrat in over five years, you might consider [[m:SRP|requesting removal]] of the permission or otherwise signalling that you intend to return to bureaucrat activity. –[[User:xeno|<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b>]][[user talk:xeno|<sup style="color:#000">talk</sup>]] 14:22, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

== Implementation of [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Bureaucrat activity requirements]] ==

Following a [[Special:Permalink/676107626|community discussion]] ending August 2015, consensus was reached to [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Bureaucrat activity requirements|remove the bureaucrat permissions of users who have not participated in bureaucrat activity for three years]].

{{cquote|Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "[[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Inactive bureaucrat accounts|Inactive bureaucrat accounts]]" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity<ref>Bureaucrat activity is widely construed and includes acting or commenting as a bureaucrat at any venue including WP:BN/RFA/RFB/RFBAG/BRFA and responding to requests in their capacity as a [[meta:global renamer|global renamer]] or subscriber to the bureaucrats' mailing list or signalling that they remain actively engaged and available for bureacrat tasks.</ref> for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at [[meta:Steward requests/Permissions]]. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.

{{reflist}}
}}

To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrat activity]]. Modeled after [[Wikipedia:Inactive administrators]] and similar to that process, the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrat activity/2015|log page]] will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.

If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at [[WP:RFB]]. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. –[[User:xeno|<b style="font-family:verdana;color:#000">xeno</b>]][[user talk:xeno|<sup style="color:#000">talk</sup>]]

== Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list ==

Hi, as a user in the ''edit filter manager'' user group we wanted to let you know about the new [[mail:wikipedia-en-editfilters|wikipedia-en-editfilters]] mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that [[WP:BEANS|wouldn't be appropriate]] to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at [[WP:Edit filter/Draft]] and the associated talk page. Thank you!

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Wikianalysis.xls]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Wikianalysis.xls]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F10|section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a [[Microsoft Word|Word document]] or [[Portable Document Format|PDF file]]) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:File:Wikianalysis.xls|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-badfiletype-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Oiyarbepsy|Oiyarbepsy]] ([[User talk:Oiyarbepsy/justasig|talk]]) 05:13, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

== Lifting of topic ban from 2008? ==

Hi Raul654, Back in April of 2008, you topic-banned me from 9/11-related articles. Over the past 8 years I've respected the ban, but I'm considering coming back and doing some work at WP. I just had a look at the WTC collapse article, for example, and it needs work--especially the "mechanics of collapse" section. The appeals process says I should first "ask the enforcing administrator to reconsider their original decision". What do you say? Cheers, --[[User:Thomas Basboll|Thomas B]] ([[User talk:Thomas Basboll|talk]]) 16:00, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
:[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=527371641 I opposed your arbitration appeal] back in 2012 because you said you wanted to go around adding conspiracy theory 'mentions' to our articles. The arbitration committee didn't buy that reasoning either and the appeal was rejected (lopsidedly). To be blunt, I don't see anything in your editing history - which since 2012 consists of exactly 3 edits including the one here - to suggest you've learned how to edit within our guidelines.

Join us for a full Sunday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Center for Jewish History]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to Women in Jewish History.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required.

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

Hey Raul, long time no speak. Just browsed your userspace after the notification above caused it to pop up on my Watchlist. As a dedicated Apostrophanatic I couldn't help but notice the [[Grocer's apostrophe]] in the word "Communications" on your userspace. Ordinarily, it would have merely set my teeth on edge, but the delicious irony of it being in a reference to Communications has made my brain begin to boil. My ear lobes have spontaneously combusted and I'm seriously worried about the possibility of impact on my hair style. Could you possibly remove the said offending punctuation mark?

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Raul654. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.

The ''WikiArte'' (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio.

The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]].

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|TOTP]] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the [[Help:Two-factor authentication|developing help page]] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''New Page Reviewer''']], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|PERM]]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|here]] but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at [[WT:NPR]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Join us at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at the [[Museum of Modern Art]], 4 West 54th Street, on Saturday, March 11, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for an all-day communal updating of Wikipedia entries on subjects related to art and feminism. There will be childcare, snacks, multiple trainings and panel discussions. People of all gender identities and expressions welcomed and encouraged to attend.

This year’s edit-a-thon kicks off at 10:00 a.m. with a conversation about information activism with writer Joanne McNeil and Data & Society Research Institute Fellow Zara Rahman, moderated by Kimberly Drew, the social media manager for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, creator of the Tumblr “Black Contemporary Art,” and the person behind @museummammy on Instagram. Afternoon breakout groups will engage in focused discussions about related issues, including intersectionality and librarianship, power structures in notability guidelines on Wikipedia, and radical archives. --[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 18:46, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork Ace Hotel New York] hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

For this month, and following on the recent [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]] campaign, we'll focus on building better [[edit-a-thon]] tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:United States v. Jones (disambiguation)]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:United States v. Jones (disambiguation)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G6|section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic?|primary topic]]); or
:::* disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:United States v. Jones (disambiguation)|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-disambig-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] ([[User talk:TJRC|talk]]) 19:57, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork Ace Hotel New York] hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history.

For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop [[Wikidata]], building better [[edit-a-thon]] tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Thomas R. Proctor Prize|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised.

Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Lollapaloozalogo.png]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F7|section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].

; 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 [[WP:LEVEL1|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 [[WP:RFA|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]].

== 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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

:I don't have the time to contribute here that I did 10 or 15 years ago. That's because, well, I've got two kids now. They get priority on my time and energy. And, truth be told, I've lost a lot of my motivation.

Can you reduce the protection level of [[Huckapedia]] so I can tag it for RfD? When you created the redirect in 2008, you immediately tagged it as full protection. I'm not convinced that it needs any protection, since Huckabee is out of the center of attention now, but can you at least lower it to extended confirmed so I can tag it?
