Nomination of Christopher Andrews for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Christopher Andrews is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Andrews until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Natg 19 (talk) 20:31, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Non-constructive edits and reverts of multiple editors by IP editors

Hi, Emperor. Hope you're having a good New Year. Long time no see. Can you assist with an IP editor using multiple IP accounts to make repeated non-constructive edits, who reverts both my reverts and Tenebrae's? The articles are Jupiter's Legacy, List of Jupiter's Legacy story arcs and List of Saga story arcs, and these three links are the three most recent reverts.

I and others have attempted to explain the various policies, guidelines, etc. to this editor that are violated by them in our edit summaries when more than one of us have reverted his/her edits, and in the messages I have left on the talk pages of the various IP accounts he/she is using (86.155.179.11, 109.155.200.50, 86.135.160.106, 109.155.147.13). I notice that in at least one case, 86.155.179.11, another editor has also left a message for similar behavior regarding other articles as well.

Two points to note:

Can you block these accounts and protect those articles? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

UPDATE: Another revert, this time by 109.155.133.161, which also traces to England. Nightscream (talk) 01:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Superman

Argh! I knew no matter how hard I tried I was going to forget to list one of my good colleagues at WikiProject Comics, when trying to show that one editor that there are people here who edit comics articles encyclopedically and not, as he put it, as "comics geeks." Thank you for joining the discussion! --Tenebrae (talk) 19:59, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Steel Serpent, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Byrne. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Presence

The same editor as before is back, doing the same illogical edits over and over with different IP addresses, while refusing to take the discussion to the Talk page: [1] David A (talk) 14:42, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Emperor. 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.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

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 Emperor.

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) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
