	==ArbCom dispute==		==Gun control==
			Hi Penwhale. User:Hypocrit submitted evidence to the gun control Arbcom case alleging that User:North8000 violated his topic ban. However, the alleged violation does not directly relate to gun control, and therefore may be ignored by the committee. Should I submit this evidence to Arbcom/enforcement? The reason I ask (rather than awaiting the outcome of the case) is that there is the possibility that I may be given an interaction ban with the accused. If that happened, I don't know whether I would be permitted to submit evidence of sanction violation on the user. Thanks! &mdash; ] 15:20, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
			*Please actually pay attention to the correct name of the user you're talking about ^^;... But yes, if you think the violation of the TBAN is not related to the case proper, file the enforcement request. However, I would say that {{ping|Hipocrite}} should know about this too.

			Hi, I noted you are the clerk on the ] case. What is the status of that case?

			==AE action for Urartu TH==
	From what I gather, it seems to revolve around the supposed unreliability of a source I used. ".
	Can you go to "http://book.jqcq.com/product/30157.html", affirm this book is actually a chinese history book, and then go to http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration and make a comment, to the effect whether it is a chinese history book or not(which from what I gather is the argument: it's not a chinese history book). This would help the dispute a lot. Thank you.
			Hello, Penwhale. I was a party to an AE action , where you have closed the discussion by noting that "Urartu TH (talk · contribs) blocked by Sandstein for WP:NPA/WP:AGF issues separate from original request which was not actionable. - Penwhale".
	] (]) 23:04, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
			I know that there generally exists a process by which one may appeal a block due to an Arbitration enforcement violation, but what about this type of block? As you noted, I did not violate the Arbitration decision, but rather--according to ]--made remarks that violated WP:NPA/WP:AGF. I disagree with ] and would like to appeal. Thank you.--] (]) 13:45, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
	==]==
			*For the record, the fact that you are able to post here means that the block he put on you already expired (and therefore an appeal of the block is now moot). Most blocks that aren't associated with AE are generally appealed on the talk page of the blocked user while they were blocked (so in this case ''while you were blocked'') using the {{tl|unblock}} template. - ] &#124; <sup>] and ]</sup> 15:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

			**Of course, I understand all that. But I believe that the block itself was an overreach and an abuse of discretion. On principle, I'd like this to be noted somehow. My concerns were ignored and without warning I was unduly blocked.--] (]) 21:22, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

	Hi Penwhale - I was hoping you could inform {{userlinks|Geremia}} that he was topic-banned under the abortion arb case, as no one seems to have put a notice on his talk page and I'm worried that this might preclude anyone from sanctioning him for the topic-ban and 1RR violations that he's currently up to. Thanks, –] (] &sdot; ]) 05:14, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
			:Specifically, there are a few issues with that request: (1) You haven't shown that there were previous attempts at resolving this issue (arbitration is a last resort); (2) ArbCom doesn't get involved with ''content'' issues; namely, you would need to raise the issue that certain things violates policies, (3) Arbitration usually starts '''after''' all other dispute resolution attempts have failed. Thus, the request was at least premature -- it would not be accepted at this point in time based on previous history of ArbCom. - ] &#124; <sup>] and ]</sup> 05:40, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

			An Arbitration Clarification request motion passed. You contributed to the discussion (or are on the committee or a clerk)
	== Regarding the dispute at the Senkaku Islands page ==
			The motion reads as follows:
	Hi Penwhale. I think you acted rather hastily in removing the dispute tag from the above article. First, it is disputed - it's not clear cut as you suggested. Second, there's no reason that the tag must be there right now. Third, you raised COI and I think it's correct for two reasons - i) you removed the tag in the past, overriding Feezo; and ii) Lvhis personally asked you to remove the tag.
			* By way of clarification, the issued by ] was out of process and therefore has no effect. The provisions of ] will be reviewed by the Arbitration Committee and where necessary updated.
	If you read this soon, I think it would be good if you could remove the tag and let someone else decide how to address it. But I decided to the issue at the Admin intervention board, as I wasn't sure when you would next be on. I hope you don't take offence, and I'm sure you acted purely out of good faith.

	Dear Penwhale,
			== Arbitration clerks ==
	My name is Jonathan Obar ], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

			== Atomium image ==
			Hi Penwhale,

			I believe that you wrongly, but in good faith, deleted my image Atomium 320 by 240 CCBY20 flickr Mike Cattell.jpg on grounds of 'Violation of FoP'.
	* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
			That would have been a correct action if I had uploaded it to Commons. In contrast, ] policy allows 'fair use' of copyright images. If you read ] of the image that was previously on the article for a long time you will see that it was rightly deleted due to lack of CC license on flikr, not anything to do with FOP. ] (]) 19:13, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
	* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
	* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
	* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
	* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

			Hi Penwhale.

			Hi, at ] I made the point that I never heard of a topic ban being reinstated for a shorter period of time, or given a narrower scope, when there is similar problematic behavior after a topic ban has been lifted. Have you? I thought this deserved an answer either way.

			::: What I meant was that ''the motion lifting TBAN does not replace it with a different sanction''. In addition, a cursory look through AQFK's talk page shows no actual sanctions since the lifting of Remedy 18 until I imposed via DS a TBAN. Basically, because AQFK had successfully appealed the TBAN in the area and was not subject to any other sanctions at the time of the AE request, coupled with the lack of any active sanctions on AQFK, I believe this is appropriate. If you disagree with the sanction itself, I think you'd have to raise it at ], probably. AE is not the place to seek review (unless you're the sanctioned editor).

			== Mann Jess's ArbComm filings ==
			I see some correspondence between Mann Jess and yourself, concerning the complaint she recently refiled against myself and Peter Gulutzan. As you probably know, she succeeded with her complaint against AQFK last month.
			In my view, the ''real problem'' here is Mann Jess herself (presuming she is a she.). For some time, I’ve been considering filing an ArbCom complaint re Mann Jess’s editing behavior in the CC area, especially in the case of ] and his ] blog. I regard her actions there as egregious POV pushing, tendentious editing and, in general, found her impossible to deal with as a fellow-editor. She's certainly single-minded (imo). Other editors who couldn't deal with her single-minded editing included both Gulutzan and AQFK. A pattern emerges.
			You should also be aware of the legal jeopardy that MJ (and others) could be putting the project under: I believe Anthony Watts was receiving legal advice, and perhaps offers of pro bono legal representation, for filing a defamation and slander lawsuit against Misplaced Pages's parent for the attempted labelling of Watts as a "climate change denier" by MJ and collaborating editors. Watts emphatically rejects this charge. If you like, I will look back & see if I can find the postings at Watts blog re this. I don't think he expressed any interest in actually filing a suit.
			Anyway: I certainly don’t have time to compile something on her now now — I don’t really even have time to mount a refutation of her charges here, except to note that many appear to be "ruffled feathers". And I hate this sort of unproductive posturing and namecalling. Ah, well, in the soup now. Tant pis.
			I see you are (to date) the only ArbComm who has commented. So: I tried to contact Gulutazn to see if he wanted to collaborate on a complaint againt MJ. He declined. That's the substance behind someone's complaint, that you commented on. Best regards, ] (]) 18:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
			*I'm only arbcom clerk, and my correspondence with Mann Jess was purely administrative (she's supposed to notify whomever she takes to AE, and she didn't, so I told her she needed to or it could be subject to automatically declination). I have not looked into the actual request itself, and note that I only commented on your post on PG's talk page (which has since been removed). For what it's worth, if you can offer evidence that Mann Jess has had issues in the area, you can offer it - AE requests can boomerang back to the filer. - ] &#124; <sup>] and ]</sup> 02:30, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future.

			# Since it seems likely I will be sanctioned, would it be worth my while to volunteer to refrain from editing in the topic areas in question for some period of time?

In particular, you should have gone after the editors who were causing the problem, not the ones reacting to the problem. But I fully realize that AE cases can be complex, and it can be difficult to narrow down which editors are actually causing the problem. In any case, I have appealed both of your sanctions. ] (]) 05:16, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
			== Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list ==
			Hi, as a user in the ''edit filter manager'' user group we wanted to let you know about the new ] mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Misplaced Pages it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that ] to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Misplaced Pages to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at ] and the associated talk page. Thank you! ] (]) and <span style="font-family:sans-serif"><span style="font-weight:bold">] <sup>]</sup></span></span> 18:22, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

			== Appeal of your Sanction ==
			Hi Penwhale,
			Yes, I realize that the sanction has already expired, but this is a matter which reflects on my integrity, which I value highly. If you recall, you sanctioned me for edit-warring to remove ] violations. As you are no doubt aware, ] provided exceptions for BLP violations. In fact, BLP requires that editors '''should''' remove BLP violations:
			"''Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.''"
			I followed Misplaced Pages policy, yet I was sanctioned for following it. This is backwards. We should not be sanctioning editors for following Misplaced Pages policy. Can you please revoke your sanction? ] (]) 23:33, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
			*As I was implementing a consensus at the time, I'm pinging {{ping|Heimstern|Gamaliel|EdJohnston}} what do all three of you think? (NYB not being pinged because he didn't comment on the ] beyond requesting your comment.) - ] &#124; <sup>] and ]</sup> 01:23, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
			:*]'s sanction was applied as the conclusion of ]. The definition of a BLP violation is a matter for WP consensus. An editor can't just make up his own definition of a BLP problem and then declare himself immune to criticism when he acts on it. The 22 reverts that you made in the name of BLP were all reverted by others. If Penwhale undoes your sanction, it would appear to be declaring that your 22 reverts were justifiable, and that you could have continued forever. The list of your 22 reverts was offered by ] in the paragraph beginning "AQFK has also been edit warring on the article for a considerable time.." I came up with the number 22 by counting all the diffs he provided in that section. ] (]) 03:37, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
			::*I'm pretty much in the same boat as Ed. ] ] 11:53, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
			:::*I'm sorry, but that specifically goes against Misplaced Pages policy. Per ], the burden of proof lies on the editor who restores the material, not the other way around. Once an editor raises a ] concern about a BLP issue, the issue should have been taken to the talk page where discussion should proceed until ] is achieved. Under no circumstance should editors edit-war contentious ] material into an article. ] (]) 10:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
			:::*I concur with Ed. There are methods for addressing these alleged problems, such as the talk page or ]. BLP is not a license for infinite reverts in borderline cases. ] <small>(])</small> 13:11, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
			::::*First, I did attempt to discuss it on the article talk page as well as ]. I can dig up the diffs if you like.
			::::*Second, I strongly oppose edit-warring. Unfortunately, ] only works when everyone else is willing to follow it.
			::::*Third, with regards to "''BLP is not a license for infinite reverts in borderline cases''". ] says that contentious labels are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution. "Deniar" is not widely-used, and nobody has presented any evidence to the contrary. So, what part of this is borderline? ] says that "''Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.''". Note that BLP says that contentious material ''should'' be removed. It doesn't say that it ''might'' be removed, or that it ''can'' be removed or that we should flip a coin to figure out whether it should be removed. It states plainly that this ''should'' be removed. We cannot be sanctioning editors for following policy.
			::::*Fourth, with regards to "''BLP is not a license for infinite reverts''", but infinite reverts is exactly what ] is condoning. It takes two to edit war. But only one side was sanctioned. Ironically, it was the side that actually followed content policy. This is completely backwards. AE should be sanctioning the editors who edit-warred against content policy, not those that followed it. ] (]) 18:06, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
			:::::*Sound of crickets.... If AE admins are unwilling to defend this sanction, I move that it be repealed. ] (]) 00:48, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
			::::::(1) I think they defended their decision, and (2) contrary to what you may believe, my talk page doesn't actually get that much traffic, and thus usually it's better to re-ping the people in this conversation when you actually expect a reply. -> {{ping|Heimstern|Gamaliel|EdJohnston}} - ] &#124; <sup>] and ]</sup> 17:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
			In light of the evidence provided above, it may be best for all concerned if the sanction is reinstated and made indefinite (not necessarily infinite). ] (]) 19:12, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
			:My read on this situation is that AQFK is attempting to turn a content dispute into a BLP matter. This may unfortunately be necessary. ] <small>(])</small> 17:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
			::The issue of BLP has occurred in the past in ] where editors would tenaciously defend some skeptical scientists and want to remove criticism from their articles on the grounds of 'BLP'. If AQFK is planning to continue this practice it seems possible he will be reported again. Personally I am not fond of the term 'denier' but its use ought to be worked out in a proper discussion, not be the subject of an edit war. ] (]) 17:44, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
			:::Gamaliel: I'm sorry, but this is a BLP matter that is being twisted into a content dispute. ] is very clear: "''Value-laden labels...may express contentious opinion and are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject''" The fact remains that ] do not widely use this term. I did ''NOT'' make up this rule. I'm simply attempting to follow it. It doesn't make sense to be sanctioning the editors who are actually attempting to follow content policy, while ignoring editors who ignored core Misplaced Pages rules. In fact, the editors in favor of violating BLP actually tried to change the rules to make it easier to violate BLP. Fortunately, the community agreed with me and rejected this attempt to water down BLP. ] (]) 00:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
			:::EdJohnston: I absolutely agree that this should be worked out in a proper discussion, not the subject of an edit war. In fact, the irony is that I am one of the strongest advocates of discussion instead of edit-warring. But discussion and BRD only works if everyone is willing to follow it, and we have editors who think that the proper way to resolve content disputes is thru edit-warring, which I strongly oppose. Unfortunately, AE decided to take the side of the edit-warriors who not only violated Misplaced Pages's conduct rules, but also Misplaced Pages's content rules. In this ruling, did you seriously mean to legitimize edit-warring as a way to win content disputes? I don't think that was your intent. But that was the net result. ] errs on the side of caution. Whenever a good faith editor raises a legitimate ] concern, under no circumstance should any editor edit-war the contentious BLP content back into an article. Official Misplaced Pages policy is that the burden of proof is on the editor attempting to restore the content. Yet, I might be the first ever editor ever sanctioned for following policy. ] (]) 00:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
			::::Gamaliel, EdJohnston Again, the silence is deafening. ] (]) 18:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
			:::::Gamaliel, EdJohnston, ] Given that no AE admin is willing to defend sanctioning editors for following ], can I please get this sanction revoked? This travesty has gone on far too long. We cannot be sanctioning editors for simply following WP:BLP. ] (]) 00:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
			::::::{{Ping|A Quest For Knowledge}} you are using the wrong bracket for ping (you typed <nowiki>]</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{ping}}</nowiki>). Personally, I'd like you to raise this on ANI (since AE is definitely the wrong venue for this at this point).

			{{outdent}}Just as a side, {{ping|A Quest For Knowledge}} I believe that you should find a better location for this discussion, as my talk page gets very little traffic for a suitable discussion.

	'''Please click to participate.'''<br>
	Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.
			:I originally tried appealing this at AE, but it was closed without a decision on the grounds that that the sanction had expired. I won't bother providing a diff to prove this, because I've been able to prove everything I've ever said with numerous diffs, yet it hasn't made a difference so far. If you doubt me, go do some basic research and you will find that everything I've said so far, is 100% supported by the facts. ] (]) 18:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
			::I think AE would be the wrong venue to appeal this '''after''' the expiration of the sanction. However, I'm not entirely sure where AN (or ANI) would be a better place. - ] &#124; <sup>] and ]</sup> 05:43, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
			{{OD|::}}Gamaliel, EdJohnston: I've already appealed first at ]. But an admin from WP:AE told me to appeal at the closing AE admin's talk page. So I refiled my appeal at a second venue. Now another admin from AE (EdJohnston) is telling me file my appeal at third venue. So, what happens if I try again only to be told to refile at a fourth venue?
			Where exactly does the buck stop?
			I do not understand why I need to keep filing the same appeal only to be told to file somewhere else. Where does it end?
			In fact, instead of referring me to yet another venue, how about we discuss the actual '''substance''' of the issue? Gamaliel, EdJohnston, Penwhale Do you agree that ] states that value-laden labels such as denier should be {{highlight| "''avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution.''"?}} I'm highlighting this sentence because this is the very crux of the issue. Please address the issue. Avoiding the problem doesn't make it go away. ] (]) 15:52, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
			:AQFK, it sounds like you want to gather support for your interpretation of ]. That's an issue for community consensus, and you're not likely to get a decision in your favor by going to AE or Arbcom. If a biographical article on a climate change critic is written in unbalanced fashion, that is something that people can work to fix. Revert warring on such an article is unlikely to end well, for whoever does it. If you reread carefully, you may notice that some of your concerns do get resonance, just not the edit warring. See for example by ]. If people use 'denier' to mean 'someone who knows global warming is happening but chooses to deny it' it's like an accusation of lying. Usually Misplaced Pages is very careful about stuff like that. For example the fraud assertions in ] seem to be backed by consensus and policy, but very carefully. ] (]) 16:40, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
			::EdJohnston I don't need to gather support for ]. It's already an existing guideline. It plainly states that terms are such as denialist are "''best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject''. I will repeat: it is ''wrong'' to sanction editors for following the rules. And if you want to sanction editors for ''following the rules'', then you should first have the rules changed. Have you proposed that ] be changed? ] (]) 15:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

			==Orlando shooting==
			The shooter went to an LGBT nightclub, during gay pride and demonstrated a hate for gay men kissing. Many media outlets, political such as Barack Obama and non political figures have made speeches deploring the homophobic nature of the attack and there have been vigils held across cities like London with LGBT flags used. Social media was trending in American and Europe with LGBT support. The target and victims were LGBT people, it has been acknowledged as such and to not have that mentioned in target and replaced with simply 'patrons' avoids the evidence and how it is being seen by officials and the public. Using 'Patrons of a club' would be like using 'people living in Poland' rather than listing Jews, homosexuals etc in the Holocaust. ] (]) 18:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

The victims and target were the LGBT community. It is being treated as a terrorist and homophobic hate crime. Using the holocaust as a comparison may offend, it does not detract from the argument.

			== Extended confirmed protection ==
			{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Penwhale. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
			] (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 ] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following ] 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, ] 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 ] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating ], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
			Please review ] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' ]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

			== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==
			Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.
			A new user group, ], 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 ]. 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 ] 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 ]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.] (]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

			The changes have been made. Unfortunately, I noticed the syntax for that created template made use of lots of absolute positioning and tables to achieve its look. As the creator of the template, I took it upon myself to fix this, and now the syntax is much more readable, modifiable, and just a slight more customizable(grads is a new parameter). Since I got rid of most of the absolute-positioning, it now behaves correctly when inside a container, such as an info box. — ''']]<sup><big><span class="plainlinks"></span></big> ]</sup>''' 06:52, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

At this event on '''Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week''', anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Misplaced Pages articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.
			New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Misplaced Pages translatathons", which are Misplaced Pages translation events.

			== 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 ] 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.
			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.

WP:RfAr related

Gun control

Hi Penwhale. User:Hypocrit submitted evidence to the gun control Arbcom case alleging that User:North8000 violated his topic ban. However, the alleged violation does not directly relate to gun control, and therefore may be ignored by the committee. Should I submit this evidence to Arbcom/enforcement? The reason I ask (rather than awaiting the outcome of the case) is that there is the possibility that I may be given an interaction ban with the accused. If that happened, I don't know whether I would be permitted to submit evidence of sanction violation on the user. Thanks! — goethean 15:20, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

• Please actually pay attention to the correct name of the user you're talking about ^^;... But yes, if you think the violation of the TBAN is not related to the case proper, file the enforcement request. However, I would say that @Hipocrite: should know about this too. (And I have used the {{ping}} template to alert him of this conversation. - Penwhale | 03:00, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I noted you are the clerk on the Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gun control case. What is the status of that case? I had seen a date on the main page that the "Proposed decision" would be out on 12 Feb, but I'm guessing that is merely a target? I'm not familiar with how arbitration proceedings on Misplaced Pages work, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Mvialt (talk) 16:11, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

• It is a "target date"; remember that unlike the real world, Arbitrators are still volunteers and therefore sometimes things in the real world do get in the way. That being said, I will check up with the arbitrators and see what the status of the proposed decision is. - Penwhale | 02:58, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• @Mvialt: For the record the arbitrators have mentioned on the workshop talk page that PD is forth coming. - Penwhale | 02:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

AE action for Urartu TH

Hello, Penwhale. I was a party to an AE action , where you have closed the discussion by noting that "Urartu TH (talk · contribs) blocked by Sandstein for WP:NPA/WP:AGF issues separate from original request which was not actionable. - Penwhale".

I know that there generally exists a process by which one may appeal a block due to an Arbitration enforcement violation, but what about this type of block? As you noted, I did not violate the Arbitration decision, but rather--according to Sandstein--made remarks that violated WP:NPA/WP:AGF. I disagree with Sandstein and would like to appeal. Thank you.--Urartu TH (talk) 13:45, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

• For the record, the fact that you are able to post here means that the block he put on you already expired (and therefore an appeal of the block is now moot). Most blocks that aren't associated with AE are generally appealed on the talk page of the blocked user while they were blocked (so in this case while you were blocked) using the {{unblock}} template. - Penwhale | 15:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Of course, I understand all that. But I believe that the block itself was an overreach and an abuse of discretion. On principle, I'd like this to be noted somehow. My concerns were ignored and without warning I was unduly blocked.--Urartu TH (talk) 21:22, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

• Hmm. I think you should probably use WP:ANI, as I didn't really look at the request (I merely closed it since it seems like it was not going anywhere). - Penwhale | 01:52, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

• OK. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urartu TH (talk • contribs) 21:13, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Supremacy RfAr Question

For ] may I ask why this was marked as frivolous? If the committee votes to not go forward with this, I will accept, but it seems unfair to remove it before there's even chance for arbitration. Can you at least back up your stance as to why this is "frivilous"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin Van Ballin' (talk • contribs) 05:18, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Specifically, there are a few issues with that request: (1) You haven't shown that there were previous attempts at resolving this issue (arbitration is a last resort); (2) ArbCom doesn't get involved with content issues; namely, you would need to raise the issue that certain things violates policies, (3) Arbitration usually starts after all other dispute resolution attempts have failed. Thus, the request was at least premature -- it would not be accepted at this point in time based on previous history of ArbCom. - Penwhale | 05:40, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Other stuff

Thank You

Thank you for your coaching on diffs. I need to learn and use that method and tool. I'll keep you examples ready. It seems I did it wrong for this time so I hope I don't make anybody mad or make more work for the arbs. If what I added gets discounted, I'll learn my lesson. I just hope the hammer doesn't fall on me. Now I'm at Arbcom.....not where I want to spend time as a "party". I think I need to go edit more mundane topics and tread very carefully here. -Justanonymous (talk) 03:48, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

• No, it's okay. Diffs are a way of life on noticeboards, as reproducing them verbotim is not a good idea. - Penwhale | 04:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I think I'm onto it. With the extension, I had time to bundle some of the comments into diffs but left the more important stuff inline (not accusatory, just examples) . Got under 1,000. Thank you much! In the end, to me it's about creating the right environment to keep and tolerate bright established editors who have some eccentricities and also attract new editors...tough balance. We'll see what arbcom thinks and whether they retire me really early.-Justanonymous (talk) 00:08, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Sir. With regard to . That 19th century edit was not made by me ! that was made by a different editor, please look again Slovenski Volk (talk) 00:26, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

FYI

I hope you know that Sandstein abused a rule that allows Admins to alter bans to make it so that I can only appeal this ban once every 6 months, and get blocked if otherwise. Please consider how long I will be banned if it's not lifted now. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 20:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

The motion reads as follows:

• By way of clarification, the formal warning issued by Kevin Gorman was out of process and therefore has no effect. The provisions of WP:BLPBAN will be reviewed by the Arbitration Committee and where necessary updated.

WP:ANI

There is a topic at ANI that relates to Baseball Bug's topic ban that he would like addressed, thanks!. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:34, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

The above editor, who thinks that what I was topic-banned for a year ago is no big deal currently, alleges canvassing. I have notified a grand total of three editors who were involved in that discussion - two (including you) who implemented the ban, and one who was the subject of it. A pretty small canvass, and fairly balanced at that. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 23:09, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

I just saw your notice on my talk page. The original topic ban was based on a lie, and the current threat to block me is likewise based on a lie. I have nowhere to go with this. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 17:16, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

OK, having completed my two-week block a few days ago, I would now like your advice on how to ask for a change or dropping of the part of the topic ban that has to do with transgender. It's not something I edit about very often, or even hardly at all, but I don't like being labeled a bigot. The other part of the topic ban, about national security and such, can stay, as I am very unlikely to want to edit on that topic anyway. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 14:29, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

• Were you TBAN'd via AE or ArbCom? - Penwhale | 23:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

• Then file a clarification/amendment request to ArbCom. - Penwhale | 05:32, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

• OK, I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for your help. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 13:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

• I can't figure out how to construct it. What I would really like is for the interaction bans to be lifted, as they are currently not being enforced anyway. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 22:33, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

• You need any particular help constructing the amendment request? Look at the one I filed related to a different issue, and change the contents accordingly. - Penwhale | 03:07, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

• I don't see it. Can you point me to it? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 10:00, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Follow-up to your AE comment

Do you have any further opinion to offer at WP:AE#WarKosign? Your last comment was August 31. I am planning to close this as no action but would hesitate if there is a net majority for a topic ban. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:28, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages

Henry, as a brand spankin' new 20-year-old administrator, you decided it would be OK to defame me at the top of each Misplaced Pages article concerning Waldorf Education. Have you gained any wisdom in all these years that might suggest this is something you shouldn't do to people? I understand you've been to college since then. Maybe you're a little wiser now. Maybe not. I don't think you fully realize the harm you have done here. It is literally defamation since HGilbert has posted my full name here. Do you understand where I'm going with this? I think you should remove that template. What do you think? Pete K2605:E000:24C0:E400:AC7C:8F4D:6D79:A689 (talk) 14:53, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

I suggested removing the templates a while back, which was clearly a mistake. Your continued disruption here has, if anything, only hurt your cause. a13ean (talk) 15:30, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Disruption? I posted on the talk pages a couple of times. No disruption. You can't stand that your editors have a COI and I keep pointing it out. I think there may be a legal issue here. You can't use Misplaced Pages to defame people like this. I'm asking Penwhale to take care of it. Otherwise, expect more problems. 2605:E000:24C0:E400:9820:7755:25C7:7F34 (talk) 00:40, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

The presence or absence of that template isn't going to change whether or not I post on those pages to complain of COI. Why do you think it would? 2605:E000:24C0:E400:9820:7755:25C7:7F34 (talk) 00:42, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Henry, you get that you are an individual - and I know your full name. Misplaced Pages may ban me (who cares), but I can still sue YOU for defaming me all these years. Just remove the template... don't be an idiot. 2605:E000:24C0:E400:9820:7755:25C7:7F34 (talk) 00:59, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

• You cannot edit the pages due to this arbitration remedy. A13ean indeed asked me back in September 2012 about the template, which I didn't have an issue with the hiding. But the fact that the template was hidden does not restore the rights for you to edit Talk:Waldorf education. - Penwhale | 01:44, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I can do anything I like. Please don't try to tell me what to do. You can ban my IP address. That's it. I don't want to edit Misplaced Pages - I want you to take my name off the page. You can do it nicely or I CAN TAKE YOU TO COURT AND SUE YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL - and I'm not about to apologize to you for telling you my rights under the law. You have no power outside of Misplaced Pages. Do you think Misplaced Pages is going to provide you with legal protection. Do you still go to college? Do you still have professors? This is not about writing an article about me - it's about using a label to DEFAME me. You, Henry (and I know that's not your given name) don't have the right to do this to me. Misplaced Pages doesn't give you that right. You, an individual, are breaking the REAL law, not Wiki law. You guys are trying to scare me with Wiki guidelines? You're fuckin' IDIOTS. Do the right thing - stop defaming me on Misplaced Pages. Ban me NOW! And expect to hear from me again SOON! YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW! You aren't so tough outside of your little world here... remember that!

Pete K, I don't know what the details are of this mess, and to be honest I don't want to know. However, if you're going to make legal threats against another editor, then you'll be blocked for as long as those threats are pending. This is your chance to explain that you chose your words poorly and that you don't actually mean to threaten legal action. Otherwise, I'll have to block you. DS (talk) 02:28, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Backing up DS. Furthermore this is really hurting your case, which I was rather sympathetic to until this attempt to threaten Penwhale. NativeForeigner 04:06, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

You'll be sorry you ignored me. 2605:E000:24C0:E400:CD2D:4485:235F:2C19 (talk) 13:12, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

• Pete, see this. I made a request to (a) convert your restrictions (which is basically a topic ban) into a de facto one so that (b) the restriction could be logged here rather than on Talk:Waldorf education, just as if the case is decided today. There will be a log of the restrictions somewhere - that is as much as I can do for you. - Penwhale | 13:20, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Despite all the ranting and legal threats, he does have a point that Hgilbert effectively doxed him by linking to an off-site page. To the best of my knowledge, he has never posted his own full name here (unlike HGilbert) although first name-last initial is not the greatest choice for someone wanting to stay anonymous. a13ean (talk) 17:25, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't believe I have ever posted my true name on Misplaced Pages. Discussions around this arose through Pete K posting this. Am I not remembering something? HGilbert (talk) 16:40, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

The question, then, is for Hgilbert to tell us how he got that information. - Penwhale | 19:36, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

PeteK advertised himself as the author of these edits and as the banned editor in question on a yahoo group posting, identifying me by name therein as well. All I did was refer the admins discussing possible sockpuppetry by the user in question to his own very public posting in which he doxed himself (if that is the right term). He was in fact using IP socks to circumvent the ban and provided his own evidence of this.

In other words, the information came from him, not from me. HGilbert (talk) 22:21, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Incidentally, the user in question gave his own full name within Misplaced Pages on several occasions: HGilbert (talk) 15:01, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

• 1
• 2
• 3, diff not available to me as this is an archive of an earlier Wikiproject, and I do not know where the original project is located.

• The edit - located through timestamp - is actually not a deleted page. This would be it. - Penwhale | 15:27, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

• I stand corrected. a13ean (talk) 22:50, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Closing an old thread

Thanks for going to the trouble of closing this thread at AE. It appeared that no participating admin had strong feelings, so the original discussion sagged due to lack of momentum. The only other reasonable close might have been a 'hold' where action was put off until the editor returned to activity, but this way is simpler. EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration clerks

Hey, Penwhale,
I've added you as an active arbitration committee clerk. It's great timing, it looks like we will be busy. Welcome back! Liz 21:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Atomium image

Hi Penwhale, I believe that you wrongly, but in good faith, deleted my image Atomium 320 by 240 CCBY20 flickr Mike Cattell.jpg on grounds of 'Violation of FoP'. That would have been a correct action if I had uploaded it to Commons. In contrast, Misplaced Pages:Non-free content policy allows 'fair use' of copyright images. If you read the deletion discussion of the image that was previously on the article for a long time you will see that it was rightly deleted due to lack of CC license on flikr, not anything to do with FOP. 9carney (talk) 19:13, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Deletion review for File:Atomium 320 by 240 CCBY20 flickr Mike Cattell.jpg

An editor has asked for a deletion review of File:Atomium 320 by 240 CCBY20 flickr Mike Cattell.jpg.

Scope of topic ban

Hi Penwhale. I just wanted to clarify that the scope of my topic ban that is in regards to "Climate change denial" is just that, rejection of the scientific consensus on climate change and not on climate change in general? Not that I plan on returned to CC in any form, any time soon. Just curious, really. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 12:11, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

That is what I gathered from the AE request; the topics chosen to be the scope of the TBAN was first raised by EdJohnston. (And yes, this is a ping to EdJohnston to invite comment.) - Penwhale | 22:37, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Literally the topic ban was from Anthony Watts and from climate change denial, not from all of WP:ARBCC. But in practice, it is up to the banning admin (Penwhale) exactly how to interpret it. If I had been thinking clearly at the time, I would have proposed a ban from all of ARBCC, because the boundaries are hard to draw otherwise. And the ban was only for three months anyway, expiring on September 16. EdJohnston (talk) 03:06, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

In responce to what EdJohnston said, the TBAN is as written. Regarding the CCD, it applies just like a TBAN - you can in theory edit a climate change article that isn't CCD-focused, but you would not be able to edit any section in that article that is related to CCD. - Penwhale | 03:53, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

AE closing

Hi, at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive176#A_Quest_For_Knowledge I made the point that I never heard of a topic ban being reinstated for a shorter period of time, or given a narrower scope, when there is similar problematic behavior after a topic ban has been lifted. Have you? I thought this deserved an answer either way. AE is pretty time-consuming for all involved, and there's an indication we'll be back there after the topic ban expires ("So we let it ride, and hope for things to cool down, and come back later. OK?"). Manul ~ talk 21:07, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

• The original TBAN was completely vacated, and happened in 2012. Two other admins have mentioned that this is an acceptable sanction as DS. - Penwhale | 03:00, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

The wording used is "lifted" and "vacated". I don't know what is meant by "completely vacated" (the vacating vote wasn't unanimous (if that is the meaning)). I'm not trying to corner you, I'm just not aware of any precedent. Are you? Manul ~ talk 03:17, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

What I meant was that the motion lifting TBAN does not replace it with a different sanction. In addition, a cursory look through AQFK's talk page shows no actual sanctions since the lifting of Remedy 18 until I imposed via DS a TBAN. Basically, because AQFK had successfully appealed the TBAN in the area and was not subject to any other sanctions at the time of the AE request, coupled with the lack of any active sanctions on AQFK, I believe this is appropriate. If you disagree with the sanction itself, I think you'd have to raise it at WP:ARCA, probably. AE is not the place to seek review (unless you're the sanctioned editor).

Pinging @EdJohnston: and @Gamaliel: as the two admins that proposed/agreed with the duration and scope, I'd like to hear your input on this. - Penwhale | 03:39, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm not looking to formally challenge the sanction; I asked because I thought it was unusual. For all I knew you might have said "Oops I missed that". Until now I wasn't aware that you issued the previous TBAN, or that you have been involved with arbcom. The "oops" falls to me. Manul ~ talk 04:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

I agree with User:Penwhale. EdJohnston (talk) 04:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Just to clarify, AQFK was ever only under 2 TBANs as far as I know: the one directly from the CC case (Remedy 18) that was vacated, and the one I issued when I closed the AE report. The CC case one was not issued by me, but by Doug Weller; I did not clerk that case. - Penwhale | 05:31, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

It does seem that this editor has a long track record of problems in this topic area, but I'm inclined to agree with this sanction as well and see what happens. A longer one can always be imposed if he immediately returns to the topic area and has the same problems. Gamaliel (talk) 15:01, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Clarification

Curious, would it be possible for you to clarify what you mean by this? Thanks. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 12:59, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Tillman posted on Peter's talk page inviting for email correspondence and not using the email this user function. Construed with what has been going on in the topic area... - Penwhale | 17:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't agree with the Petes on much of anything in this topic area, either in their views or in their way of presenting them, and may submit evidence against one or both. But to be fair it's my understanding that editors are allowed to communicate with one another outside the project. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 01:26, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, you are allowed to communicate with one another outside the project, but the wording of Tillman's comment is an attempt to have off-wiki discussion in the topic area, and it is frowned upon if the cause of such discussion is to work on WP content. - Penwhale | 04:12, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Mann Jess's ArbComm filings

I see some correspondence between Mann Jess and yourself, concerning the complaint she recently refiled against myself and Peter Gulutzan. As you probably know, she succeeded with her complaint against AQFK last month.

In my view, the real problem here is Mann Jess herself (presuming she is a she.). For some time, I’ve been considering filing an ArbCom complaint re Mann Jess’s editing behavior in the CC area, especially in the case of Anthony Watts (blogger) and his WUWT blog. I regard her actions there as egregious POV pushing, tendentious editing and, in general, found her impossible to deal with as a fellow-editor. She's certainly single-minded (imo). Other editors who couldn't deal with her single-minded editing included both Gulutzan and AQFK. A pattern emerges.

You should also be aware of the legal jeopardy that MJ (and others) could be putting the project under: I believe Anthony Watts was receiving legal advice, and perhaps offers of pro bono legal representation, for filing a defamation and slander lawsuit against Misplaced Pages's parent for the attempted labelling of Watts as a "climate change denier" by MJ and collaborating editors. Watts emphatically rejects this charge. If you like, I will look back & see if I can find the postings at Watts blog re this. I don't think he expressed any interest in actually filing a suit.

Anyway: I certainly don’t have time to compile something on her now now — I don’t really even have time to mount a refutation of her charges here, except to note that many appear to be "ruffled feathers". And I hate this sort of unproductive posturing and namecalling. Ah, well, in the soup now. Tant pis.

I see you are (to date) the only ArbComm who has commented. So: I tried to contact Gulutazn to see if he wanted to collaborate on a complaint againt MJ. He declined. That's the substance behind someone's complaint, that you commented on. Best regards, Pete Tillman (talk) 18:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

• I'm only arbcom clerk, and my correspondence with Mann Jess was purely administrative (she's supposed to notify whomever she takes to AE, and she didn't, so I told her she needed to or it could be subject to automatically declination). I have not looked into the actual request itself, and note that I only commented on your post on PG's talk page (which has since been removed). For what it's worth, if you can offer evidence that Mann Jess has had issues in the area, you can offer it - AE requests can boomerang back to the filer. - Penwhale | 02:30, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Time crunch continues -- I'll get to it when I can. Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 04:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

---

A couple of procedural questions:

1. Would it be a reasonable to ask that a ruling on my "indictment" be delayed until I have time to file charges against its originator (as discussed above)? I'm still in a time-crunch, but should have some time for this by middle of next week.
2. Since it seems likely I will be sanctioned, would it be worth my while to volunteer to refrain from editing in the topic areas in question for some period of time? I recall some editors volunteering for some such arrangement in the last big roundup of CC violators. The case of User:KimDabelsteinPetersen comes to mind. Thanks, Pete Tillman (talk) 21:35, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Fixed numbering for you (a blank line between the questions was making both no.1). As for the questions: (1) You really want to at least get some proofs in, or ask that on AE yourself. (2) That completely depends on whomever is going to close. - Penwhale | 00:38, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Appeal

Although I believe that you implemented both sanctions in good faith, I think that the situation could have been handled better. In particular, you should have gone after the editors who were causing the problem, not the ones reacting to the problem. But I fully realize that AE cases can be complex, and it can be difficult to narrow down which editors are actually causing the problem. In any case, I have appealed both of your sanctions. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 05:16, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Invitation to subscribe to the edit filter mailing list

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Misplaced Pages it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Misplaced Pages to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Appeal of your Sanction

Hi Penwhale,

Yes, I realize that the sanction has already expired, but this is a matter which reflects on my integrity, which I value highly. If you recall, you sanctioned me for edit-warring to remove WP:BLP violations. As you are no doubt aware, WP:BLP provided exceptions for BLP violations. In fact, BLP requires that editors should remove BLP violations:

"Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing."

I followed Misplaced Pages policy, yet I was sanctioned for following it. This is backwards. We should not be sanctioning editors for following Misplaced Pages policy. Can you please revoke your sanction? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 23:33, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

• As I was implementing a consensus at the time, I'm pinging @Heimstern, Gamaliel, and EdJohnston: what do all three of you think? (NYB not being pinged because he didn't comment on the original request beyond requesting your comment.) - Penwhale | 01:23, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

• User:Penwhale's sanction was applied as the conclusion of Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive176#A Quest For Knowledge. The definition of a BLP violation is a matter for WP consensus. An editor can't just make up his own definition of a BLP problem and then declare himself immune to criticism when he acts on it. The 22 reverts that you made in the name of BLP were all reverted by others. If Penwhale undoes your sanction, it would appear to be declaring that your 22 reverts were justifiable, and that you could have continued forever. The list of your 22 reverts was offered by User:Mann jess in the paragraph beginning "AQFK has also been edit warring on the article for a considerable time.." I came up with the number 22 by counting all the diffs he provided in that section. EdJohnston (talk) 03:37, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

• I'm pretty much in the same boat as Ed. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 11:53, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but that specifically goes against Misplaced Pages policy. Per WP:BLP, the burden of proof lies on the editor who restores the material, not the other way around. Once an editor raises a good faith concern about a BLP issue, the issue should have been taken to the talk page where discussion should proceed until WP:CONSENSUS is achieved. Under no circumstance should editors edit-war contentious WP:BLP material into an article. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 10:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

• I concur with Ed. There are methods for addressing these alleged problems, such as the talk page or WP:BLPN. BLP is not a license for infinite reverts in borderline cases. Gamaliel (talk) 13:11, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

• First, I did attempt to discuss it on the article talk page as well as WP:BLPN. I can dig up the diffs if you like.
• Second, I strongly oppose edit-warring. Unfortunately, WP:BRD only works when everyone else is willing to follow it.
• Third, with regards to "BLP is not a license for infinite reverts in borderline cases". WP:LABEL says that contentious labels are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution. "Deniar" is not widely-used, and nobody has presented any evidence to the contrary. So, what part of this is borderline? WP:BLP says that "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.". Note that BLP says that contentious material should be removed. It doesn't say that it might be removed, or that it can be removed or that we should flip a coin to figure out whether it should be removed. It states plainly that this should be removed. We cannot be sanctioning editors for following policy.
• Fourth, with regards to "BLP is not a license for infinite reverts", but infinite reverts is exactly what WP:AE is condoning. It takes two to edit war. But only one side was sanctioned. Ironically, it was the side that actually followed content policy. This is completely backwards. AE should be sanctioning the editors who edit-warred against content policy, not those that followed it. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 18:06, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

• Sound of crickets.... If AE admins are unwilling to defend this sanction, I move that it be repealed. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:48, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

(1) I think they defended their decision, and (2) contrary to what you may believe, my talk page doesn't actually get that much traffic, and thus usually it's better to re-ping the people in this conversation when you actually expect a reply. -> @Heimstern, Gamaliel, and EdJohnston: - Penwhale | 17:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

In light of the evidence provided above, it may be best for all concerned if the sanction is reinstated and made indefinite (not necessarily infinite). Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 19:12, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

My read on this situation is that AQFK is attempting to turn a content dispute into a BLP matter. This may unfortunately be necessary. Gamaliel (talk) 17:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

The issue of BLP has occurred in the past in WP:ARBCC where editors would tenaciously defend some skeptical scientists and want to remove criticism from their articles on the grounds of 'BLP'. If AQFK is planning to continue this practice it seems possible he will be reported again. Personally I am not fond of the term 'denier' but its use ought to be worked out in a proper discussion, not be the subject of an edit war. EdJohnston (talk) 17:44, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Gamaliel: I'm sorry, but this is a BLP matter that is being twisted into a content dispute. WP:LABEL is very clear: "Value-laden labels...may express contentious opinion and are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject" The fact remains that reliable sources do not widely use this term. I did NOT make up this rule. I'm simply attempting to follow it. It doesn't make sense to be sanctioning the editors who are actually attempting to follow content policy, while ignoring editors who ignored core Misplaced Pages rules. In fact, the editors in favor of violating BLP actually tried to change the rules to make it easier to violate BLP. Fortunately, the community agreed with me and rejected this attempt to water down BLP. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

EdJohnston: I absolutely agree that this should be worked out in a proper discussion, not the subject of an edit war. In fact, the irony is that I am one of the strongest advocates of discussion instead of edit-warring. But discussion and BRD only works if everyone is willing to follow it, and we have editors who think that the proper way to resolve content disputes is thru edit-warring, which I strongly oppose. Unfortunately, AE decided to take the side of the edit-warriors who not only violated Misplaced Pages's conduct rules, but also Misplaced Pages's content rules. In this ruling, did you seriously mean to legitimize edit-warring as a way to win content disputes? I don't think that was your intent. But that was the net result. WP:BLP errs on the side of caution. Whenever a good faith editor raises a legitimate WP:BLP concern, under no circumstance should any editor edit-war the contentious BLP content back into an article. Official Misplaced Pages policy is that the burden of proof is on the editor attempting to restore the content. Yet, I might be the first ever editor ever sanctioned for following policy. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Gamaliel, EdJohnston Again, the silence is deafening. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 18:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Gamaliel, EdJohnston, Penwhale Given that no AE admin is willing to defend sanctioning editors for following WP:BLP, can I please get this sanction revoked? This travesty has gone on far too long. We cannot be sanctioning editors for simply following WP:BLP. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 00:19, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

@A Quest For Knowledge: you are using the wrong bracket for ping (you typed ] instead of {{ping}}). Personally, I'd like you to raise this on ANI (since AE is definitely the wrong venue for this at this point). But since you failed to ping correctly, I'll do it for you: @Heimstern, Gamaliel, and EdJohnston: any response? - Penwhale | 03:10, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry AQFK, I disagree with your assessment of the sanction, and even if I agreed with you, I can not revoke another administrator's AE sanction outside of consensus. You will have to get other administrators to form a consensus at AE or another forum. Gamaliel (talk) 03:27, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Replying since I was pinged. AQFK, you are still disappointed with the result of Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive181#Arbitration enforcement action appeal by A Quest For Knowledge. The standard advice for people who don't like an AE decision about them is to appeal at WP:ARCA. This is explained at WP:AC/DS#Appeals and modifications. EdJohnston (talk) 05:04, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Just as a side, @A Quest For Knowledge: I believe that you should find a better location for this discussion, as my talk page gets very little traffic for a suitable discussion. (i.e. if you want other admins who didn't already read into the original request to comment) - Penwhale | 04:51, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

I originally tried appealing this at AE, but it was closed without a decision on the grounds that that the sanction had expired. I won't bother providing a diff to prove this, because I've been able to prove everything I've ever said with numerous diffs, yet it hasn't made a difference so far. If you doubt me, go do some basic research and you will find that everything I've said so far, is 100% supported by the facts. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 18:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

I think AE would be the wrong venue to appeal this after the expiration of the sanction. However, I'm not entirely sure where AN (or ANI) would be a better place. - Penwhale | 05:43, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Gamaliel, EdJohnston: I've already appealed first at WP:AE. But an admin from WP:AE told me to appeal at the closing AE admin's talk page. So I refiled my appeal at a second venue. Now another admin from AE (EdJohnston) is telling me file my appeal at third venue. So, what happens if I try again only to be told to refile at a fourth venue?

Where exactly does the buck stop?

I do not understand why I need to keep filing the same appeal only to be told to file somewhere else. Where does it end?

In fact, instead of referring me to yet another venue, how about we discuss the actual substance of the issue? Gamaliel, EdJohnston, Penwhale Do you agree that WP:LABEL states that value-laden labels such as denier should be "avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution."? I'm highlighting this sentence because this is the very crux of the issue. Please address the issue. Avoiding the problem doesn't make it go away. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 15:52, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

AQFK, it sounds like you want to gather support for your interpretation of WP:LABEL. That's an issue for community consensus, and you're not likely to get a decision in your favor by going to AE or Arbcom. If a biographical article on a climate change critic is written in unbalanced fashion, that is something that people can work to fix. Revert warring on such an article is unlikely to end well, for whoever does it. If you reread your last AE appeal carefully, you may notice that some of your concerns do get resonance, just not the edit warring. See for example the comment by User:Zero0000. If people use 'denier' to mean 'someone who knows global warming is happening but chooses to deny it' it's like an accusation of lying. Usually Misplaced Pages is very careful about stuff like that. For example the fraud assertions in Andrew Wakefield seem to be backed by consensus and policy, but very carefully. EdJohnston (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

EdJohnston I don't need to gather support for WP:LABEL. It's already an existing guideline. It plainly states that terms are such as denialist are "best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject. I will repeat: it is wrong to sanction editors for following the rules. And if you want to sanction editors for following the rules, then you should first have the rules changed. Have you proposed that WP:LABEL be changed? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 15:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)

Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Misplaced Pages:Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process.

Orlando shooting

The shooter went to an LGBT nightclub, during gay pride and demonstrated a hate for gay men kissing. Many media outlets, political such as Barack Obama and non political figures have made speeches deploring the homophobic nature of the attack and there have been vigils held across cities like London with LGBT flags used. Social media was trending in American and Europe with LGBT support. The target and victims were LGBT people, it has been acknowledged as such and to not have that mentioned in target and replaced with simply 'patrons' avoids the evidence and how it is being seen by officials and the public. Using 'Patrons of a club' would be like using 'people living in Poland' rather than listing Jews, homosexuals etc in the Holocaust. Erzan (talk) 18:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Er....no, this is another one you need to take to the talk page, Erzan, because on Misplaced Pages we do things by consensus, not because one individual wants something to be expressed in a particular way and uses questionable arguments to achieve that end. I personally find your use of the Holocaust to make your point quite distasteful and offensive. This is Paul (talk) 18:31, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

@Erzan: Let's centralize the discussion at this section of the talk page, which I started. - Penwhale | 19:41, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

What about the line of argument was questionable? everything stated can be backed up by evidence from credible sources like the BBC, Guardian, CNN, speeches from the US President Barack Obama, UK Prime Minister, international organisations and domestic national authorities. The victims and target were the LGBT community. It is being treated as a terrorist and homophobic hate crime. Using the holocaust as a comparison may offend, it does not detract from the argument. Plenty of arguments are offensive to someone it does not stop it being a well constructed argument. Erzan (talk) 04:55, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Penwhale. 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 Misplaced Pages: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. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Need some help on reference-translations for my GA review for Causeway Bay Books disappearances

I am doing a Good Article review for Causeway Bay Books disappearances at Talk:Causeway Bay Books disappearances/GA1. I looked at your user page and on Category:Wikipedians who contribute to the Chinese Misplaced Pages and noticed that you can read Chinese. Could you check some of the article's references in their original language? I don't want to Pass the article to GA status and then find out I missed something in the references because of my reliance on Google Translate...
If you could respond with any thoughts or concerns at Talk:Causeway Bay Books disappearances/GA1 so I could keep the GA info all in one place that would be helpful. If you'd rather not or don't have the time - that's cool, I am also asking a few other Wikipedians for assistance on checking the references in the original language.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Penwhale.

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) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Translation help

Since you were kind/foolish enough to have your name on this list, here's a note that I could use some help with the mess of Mazu temples in Shanghai. There were three; the first two were destroyed; the third got moved to Songjiang and rebuilt; and then as of 2014 Zhabei was considering rebuilding their old one. So:

• The Shanghai Archives has an article on the history of the Zhabei/Songjiang temple whose citation I've already formatted for you but whose facts need to be translated and added to the Songjiang Tianfei Palace article and tagged with {{sfnp|Feng|2008}}.
• The article is wrong on the date of the move to Songjiang but might be right that it was built in 1883 rather than originally demolished then as claimed here. It'd be nice if you had time to see if there was another official source. The temple's own official site doesn't mention it.
• The archive article and this article and (obliquely) this "About Us" page suggest that Zhabei District is rebuilding or has already rebuilt a fourth Mazu temple near the site of their former one. It would be nice if you had time to poke around and see if you can find anything official on the subject that I could use to create an article on it.
• Ditto any information about the other two original Mazu temples in Shanghai.

If you have time and interest for any, some, or all of that, great and please leave a note here saying so. I'm asking all the listed Chinese translators for help, so we wouldn't want anyone needlessly duplicating work. — LlywelynII 02:42, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to Admin confidence survey

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Misplaced Pages administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

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.

For the Anti-harassment tools team, SPoore (WMF), Community Advocate, Community health initiative (talk) 20:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon (Nov 19) and global online Misplaced Pages Asian Art Month (Nov 1-30)

Sunday November 19, 10:30 am - 4:00pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon

The Misplaced Pages Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Misplaced Pages Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Sunday November 19 Misplaced Pages Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met (RSVP on-wiki or at meetup.com). 10:30 am - 4:00 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education 81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided. We also welcome remote participation for the global online Misplaced Pages Asian Art Month, running November 1-30. Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Misplaced Pages Asian Month contest!--Pharos (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Wiccan rede

Hi could you help me trabslate the Wiccan rede article into Chinese? I would really appreciate it. so far we have this: 翻譯: 您應該相信威卡的教規﹐用誠實和真誠的愛來信 但凡事都得饒處且饒人﹐你附出多少便應得多少 由北開始畫三個圓的圈﹐把所有妖魔鬼怪全除去 如果你想咒語變成現實﹐用順序或特殊音節念出 以柔制剛切勿意氣用事﹐靜心聆聽切勿大發謀論 美麗的月亮漸漸地變圓﹐大家開開心心跳舞歌唱 每逢新月之夜都是初一﹐大家歡歡氣氣一同慶祝 每逢月圓之夜都是十五﹐大家誠心誠意來許個願 每當北風呼呼地吹來時﹐門窗要鎖好帆布要落下 每逢南風呼呼地吹來時﹐心愛的人熱情地親親你 每當西風呼呼地吹來時﹐靈魂們趁機會起來活動 每逢東風呼呼地吹來時﹐豐富的大餐迎接新開始 九種不同的樹木放入鼎﹐猛猛地燃燒慢慢地燃燒 接骨樹是代表神聖女神﹐如燒接骨樹會被追咒的 當節日輪盤開始轉動時﹐沃爾帕吉斯夜燒篝火炬 當節日輪盤轉到冬至時﹐燃點起火炬迎潘皇再生 照顧好大自然花草樹木﹐神聖女神送幸福給人們 石頭水中拋前程就可知﹐用漣漪多少遠近看前程 如果要實現願望或理想﹐絕不可貪心或不責手段 不應該浪費寶貴的時間﹐結識一些不成實的朋友 見面和離別也同樣快樂﹐面頰紅紅的心情要愉快 記緊因果關係輪回三次﹐三次幸運或是三次災難 如不幸遇到災難降臨時﹐把藍色的星星戴在頭上 人人都要做到坦誠相見﹐除非他人全心欺編真成 威卡的教規八字真言是﹐「為所欲為傷人不為」 翻譯 更重要的是巫师或巫师的13个目标 认识你自己 了解我们的艺术 学习和成长 用智慧应用知识 达到平衡 保持你的话顺序 保持你的想法 庆祝生活 调整到地球的周期 保持身体健康 锻炼你的身体 沉思 尊重女神和上帝 is it translated right?108.75.79.57 (talk) 15:00, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Re: Request for change/feature to Template:Progress meter

The changes have been made. Unfortunately, I noticed the syntax for that created template made use of lots of absolute positioning and tables to achieve its look. As the creator of the template, I took it upon myself to fix this, and now the syntax is much more readable, modifiable, and just a slight more customizable(grads is a new parameter). Since I got rid of most of the absolute-positioning, it now behaves correctly when inside a container, such as an info box. — Dædαlus 06:52, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College
Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Misplaced Pages Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Misplaced Pages articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City. New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Misplaced Pages translatathons", which are Misplaced Pages translation events.

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 Misplaced Pages account and associated email Change your password now if your Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 6 December 2021. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2021 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:05, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

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.

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.

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.
