Hamming distance images

Two example distances: 100→011 has distance 3 (red path); 010→111 has distance 2 (blue path)

Two example distances: 0100→1001 has distance 3 (red path); 0110→1110 has distance 1 (blue path)

In these images the description is correct, but the actual hamming distance between any two points is 1! Is this a mistake? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smellyjellly (talk • contribs) 05:02, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

The distance between two adjacent points is one. The red and blue paths detailed in the first image are not adjacent, so they are greater than one. The blue path in the second image is adjacent therefore it is one. Using the digits as coordinates helps graphically visualize the Hamming distance, but you can see it in the digits themselves: it takes three bit flips to go from 0100 to 1001 and only one bit flip to go from 0110 to 0111.

Also, please sign your posts using four tildes ~~~~. If you forget, it's nice if you don't remove auto-added signatures. It's nice to know who is asking questions! Cburnett (talk) 12:48, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Joker playing card image

I've recently been revamping the List of poker hands article and am sorely missing a Joker image for the Five of a kind section. If you found the time to create one (or even two: a red and a black version) to complete your already excellent set of playing cards, that would be rather fantastic. Just a humble request of course; the article will live on without it! (But what kind of a life would that be?) Hpesoj00 (talk) 17:12, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

I have gone and added the jokers myself, as I found the original source material. Please edit them if I have done a poor job. Hpesoj00 (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Cburnett. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

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 "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following 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, 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 a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that 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 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 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 thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Cburnett.

A new user group, 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 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 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. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Cburnett,

I was wondering under which conditions it would be all right to use your SVG chess pieces for the development of an app? I tried making sense of GPL version 2, as you referenced on your user page, but I don't quite understand what is and what isn't ok.

Enquiry to Cburnett

University of Melbourne, Australia

Hi Cburnett, My name is Scott, I'm a researcher at the University of Melbourne. I've been trying to find a way to contact you. This seems to be the only method I could find (apologies). If you have an email address, can I contact you using that? Mine is scott.griffiths@unimelb.edu.au or scottgriffiths@gmail.com. My twitter is @scott1griffiths I'm emailing you because, as far as I can tell, you created (or uploaded) this computerised version of a Felix von Luschan Skin Color chart (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Felix_von_Luschan_Skin_Color_chart.svg) If you are indeed the correct person, I would like to correspond with you to learn more about how you came across it. Also, if you're amenable, I'd like to consider paying you to make some adjustments to the image to optimise it for display on a smart phone. I intend to use it in a global study of body image and physical appearance phenomena among heterosexual and gay men. Some 3.5 million individuals will be invited into the study. I would ensure you are credited in all presentations using the chart. Thank you for your time Cburnett. Best wishes, Scott Sgri6476 (talk) 04:12, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

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 02:23, 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)

Dear Cburnett,
I'm a secondary school student currently working on a game, and I was wondering if I could use your beautiful SVG Chess Pieces in it? If I did implement them into my game, the chess icons would be modified slightly and I would credit you in the credits. I read the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license attributed to them, but I can't make head or tails of it. I also may release the game commercially in the future depending on whether I finish it or not.
Thanks,
Zach

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

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)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Thanks for uploading File:IEEE Spectrum July 2006.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:25, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Intracardiac echocardiogram

Hi my dear friend. I hope you are fine. I have removed a large amount of unreferenced information. The new page review is one of the last approval stages, so when I see a page like this with a large amount of unreferenced information, and no {{In use}} tag to show that the page is undergoing a major build, I tend to err on the side of caution and remove the unreferenced information. I was unsure at what stage your page was. The easiest solution is for you to add the tag to indicate the page is still under construction (if it is). This prevents me and other editors from editing the page until the process is complete and the tag is removed. Please assume good faith of me, as I do of you. I know you are very experienced. By all means add all the information again when you can add the references. Best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 06:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

The article was less than 5 hours old when you obliterated it, how much more obvious of "in use" did you need? Cburnett (talk) 19:50, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
