This user strives to maintain a policy of neutrality on controversial issues. did you create the Denisovan page? Dear Hiberiantears, First off, I am sorry if I am contacting you in the wrong conduct. I am no wikipedian, and so I am unsure of if creating a new page is the correct way to make contact. Anyhow, I'll get straight to the point. I am a social researcher at Linköping University in Sweden. I am interested in knowledge production in regards to the history of human evolution. I am mapping important contributions linked to new discoveries in the field of evolutionary anthropology, and how they are spread to the public. I am curious, did you create the page for the Denisovan? (linked below) If you did, would you be willing to answer a few questions about the procedure of creating such a page? I would be so very grateful if you would help me. I have linked my contacts below, https://liu.se/en/employee/matka36 https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Talk:Denisovan&offset=20120124164600&limit=500&action=history Sincerely, Mattis Karlsson, phil.lic, Linköping University LIU.MK.TQ (talk) 08:52, 14 August 2017 (UTC) Hi Mattis - Yes I created that page some years back. If I remember accurately, I believe that I ran across the announcement of the discovery in the news. I then checked to see if we had an article that directly covered the topic. Upon seeing that we did not already have an article, I then proceeded to create a stub and build it up to a point that enough credible sources were included and notability of the subject was established to prevent any rapid deletion of the article. My "final" version of the article was here and from that point on the community built it up to where it is today. Hiberniantears (talk) 15:44, 20 August 2017 (UTC) Thank you very much for your response! You have been of great help. Would it be alright with you if I quote your account of events in my research? Also, I may have some further questions, would you be interested in answering them via email? best, Mattis 130.236.159.35 (talk) 11:29, 21 August 2017 (UTC) Absolutely!

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators. To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form. We really appreciate your input! Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

It was great to look back at some of those other names. Hiberniantears (talk) 15:19, 9 February 2019 (UTC) Be proud, have another reminder! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:32, 24 September 2019 (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 02:26, 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) Meant to place a note here earlier. Thanks for the update. I currently use 2fa. Hiberniantears (talk) 20:56, 10 July 2019 (UTC) Precious Write. More. Content. Thank you for quality articles such as Denisovan, Buttermilk Creek Complex, GJ 357 d and Axataf, partly as translations from Spanish, for admin services offering difficult blocks, for "I have poured countless hours across years of my life helping to build this project", - repeating (2 February 2009 and ten years ago): you are an awesome Wikipedian! You are recipient no. 2289 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:53, 24 September 2019 (UTC) Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs Thank you for your recent articles, including Piłsudski Tank, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC) Thanks! Although in fairness I could use some help cleaning up the references since I appear to have made a mess of them when I brought the content over from the Polish language article.
