			== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==
	== Gang ==

			ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
	Wouldn't it make more sense to leave the article on the overwhelmingly common meaning of "gang" at ] and put the disambiguation at ]? Anyway, if you really insist on doing it this way, are you planning to do something about the roughly 200 articles that you've now left pointing at a disambiguation page? -- ] \| ] 06:04, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

			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 ] to "have strong passwords and ]." We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, ] 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.

	Hi, Who. I'm sorry, but I had to revert your edits in the articles partaining to the ]. I stated my reasons in the edit summary, but I figured I'd drop you a message to explain it better. I see you've been with us for little more than a month. That being the case, I thought you might not yet be completely familiarized with some of our procedings. In cases like this one, we prefer to put the topic up for discussion on the article's talk page before implementing the change. There, we try to reach a consensus, which basicaly means that we get a reasonable number of editors to agree on a line of action, which is the one that shall be taken in the article itself (how many people may have to agree to form consensus is subjective, it depends on how many people are interested and contribute for any particular article, or just how many opinions happen to have been given to the issue at hand). In the case of the issue of whether to split the article on the Olsen sisters in two, you will notice that this has been discussed before (as a matter of fact, it was brought up by someone who thought that the article should be broken in two), but the train of thought that prevailed was in favor of keeping the ''status quo'' for that article. That is why I reverted your edits. I must say that, personally, I too think that it should be kept in only one article — read the comments in the article's talk page for more details (but you will notice that I did not participate in that discussion myself). In any event, the consensus was to keep the joint article. I apologize if I might have erased some new data that you may have inserted in the separated articles. If that happened, I would ask you to integrate them in the MK&A article. Cheers, ] 02:44, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
	:I'm glad to be of assistance. Your points about the twins are theoretically valid, but let me sum up what was discussed on that regard (also in other similar instances): It may well be that the two of them go their separate ways and end up doing noteworthy deeds each on their own, but that has not happened thus far. Certainly there are facts about each of them that are different, but Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, and most of these facts are not suited for it. So, when it comes down to what is encyclopedic enough about the Olsen twins, we'd end up with two articles that would essentially repeat the same contents. In these cases, one of Misplaced Pages's main features comes in handy: it can be updated constantly. Biographies of living people are always about "current events", so you could say that separating the articles is something that is "on hold" right now, to be done if and when the situation warrants it. Right now, the twins' ''encyclopedic'' information (and that adjective is key here) is virtually the same ("more than 95%", as one user put it), so we have no basis for two articles on them.

	Are you sure that IMDB didn't get it wrong? I note that both the fan page, as well as the only IMDB has listed, both call it "Twisted Tales". Not only that, if you look at the cover art at both IMDB and the review page, the cover art gives the title as "Twisted Tales"! (I did check, and all the episodes listed on the thing listed on the review page are from the 95-96 season.) Now, perhaps the "Twisted Tales" variant was selected for the video re-release, and it's the cover art for that which we are seeing, but I would certainly want to make sure.

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.
