Administrators' newsletter – April 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2019).

Technical news

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • Two more administrator accounts were compromised. Evidence has shown that these attacks, like previous incidents, were due to reusing a password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. All admins are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication, please consider doing so. Please always practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.
  • As a reminder, according to WP:NOQUORUM, administrators looking to close or relist an AfD should evaluate a nomination that has received few or no comments as if it were a proposed deletion (PROD) prior to determining whether it should be relisted.

Hankook

Hello. I saw your question on my talk page! Before my edits, most of information on Hankooktire wikipedia page was incorrect or outdated. (Including crucial information such as the founder and CEO) It's true that I got most of the information from the official Hankooktire website. However, I cited everything, and the contents do not favor certain product or image of the company. They are all FACTS. The purpose of the wikipedia page is to share correct/useful information with other people. You are more than welcome to add new information to the page, or delete incorrect information. But undoing the entire edit does not seem appropriate. If you think some of the contents look like advertisement, please delete those texts only. Goodbye and I hope you have a great day! --Suhmk1025 (talk) 07:06, 17 April 2019 (UTC)Suhmk1025[reply]

These are copyright violations. I am not going to examine each change to consider its sourcing, now that I've found copyvios in almost every paragraph. Your responsibility is to make the changes you want without violating policy and law. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 14:54, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned earlier, I cited my sources to be from the official website. But from now, I only corrected 1) Founder 2) CEO 3) Revenue information. Please do not erase that.--Suhmk1025 (talk) 01:37, 18 April 2019 (UTC)Suhmk1025[reply]
It's nice that you cited them; however, you still can't cut-and-paste copyrighted material into Wikipedia, regardless of your citations. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 02:25, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – May 2019

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).

Guideline and policy news

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.

Socking

There's a new user named peaksprite, which i believe is a sock of habar awal, his latest sock (datch71s) was blocked a month ago [2], however he seems to have returned starting with editing his favorite article Sheikh Hussein. Ironically the last registered users to edit that article are his three different socks (bayesedam, flockatucka, datch71s). peaksprite removed the very same content another sock (taskubed) had removed on Harar.

Suspicious user (France AAA) with few edits just reverted you on Double Bass and left a message on your talk page after I made a post here about socking. Its interesting that one of Habar awals old socks (skyfarax} used the same usertalk introduction "hello world" like France AAA did. [5] [6]. 41.96.13.242 (talk) 17:18, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
