== Noel Rose (a page you deleted in 2006) ==
== Deletion of "Anniene Stockton" page? ===
Hi Tom. I'm wondering why you deleted my submitted page for the producer Anniene Stockton? A page for her theatre company (theatre in decay) already exists on the English Misplaced Pages, which mentions her by name and has been linked to within the article. I can provide other sources, if this is the problem, but saying that someone isn't notable enough when they already appear by name in accepted Misplaced Pages articles elsewhere doesn't make a lot of sense to me? Thank you

Hi Tom, I work in the field of autoimmune disease and went looking for a page on Noel Rose, but noticed a 2006 version had been deleted by you. I expect it was a guideline problem (e.g., a verbatim copy of existing content), but let me know if there was some other reason. I am going to start creating the new page, but if you have issues please let me know. Thank you.
==Your opinion is needed in on ]==
Hi. Two editors are advocating for the exclusion of any mention in the ] article that Peter Joseph, the creator of that film has stated publicly that words attributed to him in a story cited as a source in the article misquoted him, and that he has not distanced himself from the ideas expressed in that film, as that cited source indicates. I have responded to their arguments, but neither of them has responded directly to my counterarguments, but simply repeat the same statements of theirs over and over. Myself and one other editor disagree with them, so two editors are for the material's inclusion, and two are for its exclusion, with no sign of consensus in sight. Can you please offer your viewpoint in so that we can achieve consensus? Thank you. ] (]) 01:08, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
:My view is . Reading your reply, it seemed like you thought Arthur or Earl had written it. To briefly repeat, as a matter of editorial judgement, I'd leave the quote out until/unless it's picked up by a secondary source. ] <sup>]</sup> 01:20, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tom! Next on my list to bring to Featured Article level is the Collapse of the World Trade Center article. I have commenced doing some adjustments and some may become major as it proceeds.

What I want at the article is for everyone who has strong opinions either way regarding Peter Joseph, the Zeitgeist movement, and whatever other underlying biases are at play here to voluntarily take a break for a while. As someone coming into this without significant previous involvement I can say that what I'm seeing there is predominately not an attempt to make the article neutral, even if conscious intent to do otherwise is absent.

:That's a rather generic argument that anyone whose POV were compromised might make though. "You think I'm biased? Well, maybe ''you're'' just biased in the other direction." I'm not. I don't give two craps about Peter Joseph. In fact I think he gets way more attention than he deserves. But when a person says they were misquoted, and the article includes the alleged misquote, the denial is something the reader needs to know, no matter who or what we're discussing. I don't believe Peter Joseph was misquoted. I've heard that he often denies having said things simply to backpedal. Does that mean we leave it out whenever he does so? Our duty is not to inform the reader, even through exclusion, that he is not to be trusted.

::You've made and repeated that argument, and it's unpersuasive. I would not include his quote unless it appeared in a secondary source, purely as a matter of editorial judgement.

:::Thanks, I'll take it. My pure editorial judgment of course says otherwise, as you know, and BLP does not allow us to ''exclude'' the misquote claim. The ''person'' who says they were misquoted is a higher priority BLP concern than that of the news organization that might somehow suffer from it, not that it's realistic to think they would in any significant way.

{{Ivmbox|Hello, Tom harrison. Voting in the ''']''' is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
There seems to be some kind of implied parity between what a reliable secondary source says and what the film production company says. It's better to leave it in than out, though a case might be made that Joseph wanting to distance himself or not is more relevant to the development of the zeitgeist movement or to him personally than to the film. In any case I'm not going to deliberately add or restore material that violates blp no matter who votes for what, in this article or any other. ] <sup>]</sup> 17:00, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
:I don't think anyone is asking you to do the adding or restoring. Obviously you must realize that since the vast majority of the people in the discussion disagree with you on the BLP issue, and actually feel it's a bigger BLP violation to leave the material out, it would be inappropriate for you to revert if someone else made the addition; unless you get to decide that your opinion on the matter supersedes everyone else's since you've determined that your understanding of BLP is more accurate than theirs, and I don't think you get to do that -- despite BLP's wording that famously, infamously, and conveniently offers license to act unilaterally -- this case evidently comes down to a subjective call that isn't in your favor so far. If you do plan to revert regardless, it might be good to make that clear at the discussion before the edit is implemented so as to (hopefully) avoid another revert war.

==Question about article and possible semi-protect==

The article about the browser tool ] is seeing some sharp debate. A number of users have voiced concerns in the article text and on the talk page about the portrayal of the software as an unmitigated good, when many computer security websites and at least one program call it a threat. I added a section to discuss the controversies surrounding it, and it's been blanked multiple times by an unregistered user who called it "slanderous." That user's IP address traces itself to central Montreal, which is where Wajam was developed. After that user posted some specific points attacking the "Controversy" section, I added more references and re-added the section. I don't know if this rises to the level of warranting semi-protection, but the article history certainly suggests that unregistered users revert any changes that are remotely critical of the product. I just wanted an administrator to be aware of it, and perhaps give input or guidance. I think that the section as reworked is solidly sourced, but I'd appreciate input. Thank you. ] (]) 00:20, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

== Nativity scene article ==


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.
Can you do me a favor and look at the nativity scene article?

I've acquiesced to your directives, and I've provided a second reliable source. I recently wrote a book chapter on The Franklin Scandal, "The Franklin Scandal: The Cover-Up of Child Abuse and its Analogues to Dissociative Identity Disorder," in ''Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders.'' ''Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders'' is a book that was edited by two eminent psychiatrists, and it also contains chapters written by psychiatrists and therapists who counsel victims of child abuse. The book was published by Routledge, which is a subsidiary of the Taylor and Francis publishing group. In addition to my chapter on The Franklin Scandal being published by a "reputable" publisher, my chapter was also peer-reviewed. Here's a link to the chapter: http://franklinscandal.com/Bryant_DID_Chapter.pdf And here's a link to Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders: http://www.guilfordpress.co.uk/books/details/9780415718073/

I made a few changes to the page today, and the article was reverted to its former copy, and now it's "protected." I spent seven years researching this story, and the chapter I wrote for ''Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders'' meets the highest academic standards. I realize that you might be skeptical of the story, so please read the chapter I wrote for ''Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders'', and it will demonstrate to you that its thoroughly researched and veritable.

I take the liberty to contact you, I am a doctoral student in Political Science at the University of Paris 1 and my work focuses on the history of conspiracy theories, on which I have already published a few scientific articles and I am now preparing a book. I have been interviewing conspiracists and truthers, their critics and opponents for several years, working particularly on the French association ReOpen911 and the question of 9/11, as a now "historical" case of conspiracy...And obviously wikipedia has been a rather major theater of discussions/criticisms on the subject.

Looking at the related conspiracy pages' statistics, I realized that you have worked for long on these issues on wikipedia, hence my message and a small request: I would really appreciate if you can share bits of this "experience" with me in an interview.
Hello Tom, and thank you for reversion on the ] article. I must confess to being very concerned by the attitude and activities of the unregistered IP user 99.238.74.216.

Hello Tom, I could do with your advice/input on the above article Talk page. One editor had inserted the aircraft used in the attacks as "weapons", a edit that was promptly reversed by another editor. To prevent a edit war, I suggested a discussion on the Talk page, but as of the moment there have been no constructive contributions. I must confess to being on the fence on this issue: it does not seem correct to label aircraft full of innocent people "weapons", but that is exactly what they were! Your thoughts would be appreciated. Regards, David, ] (]) 17:12, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

== Comment on possible mistake ==


</div>
Tom, I'm afraid I find your comment unsatisfactory. If it were suggested to me that I had made the mistake of taking an administrative action which I did not have the right to do, I would be very concerned, and would regard it as my '''duty''' to sort it out, determine whether I had indeed made such a mistake, and if so self-revert. I don't know what you had in mind when you wrote that comment, but the way it comes over is as a rather light and airy remark, suggesting "I may have made a mistake, but I don't care. If I have, I will leave it to someone else to deal with". I emphasise that I am not claiming to know that that is how you were thinking, but I am simply trying to point out that it looks rather like that. I strongly suggest that you go back, check whether you did in fact take administrative action that was contrary to policy, and if so correct the mistake. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "]" (]) 14:03, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

XXzoonamiXX, many of your edits are good, and they stay in the article. Some edits are borderline incoherent; some are contrary to consensus, or otherwise not seen as improvements.

Hello, Hello,


I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback.

In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account.

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==


Kind Regards,
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.


<bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">] (]) 00:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC) </bdi>
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.

Noel Rose (a page you deleted in 2006)

Hi Tom, I work in the field of autoimmune disease and went looking for a page on Noel Rose, but noticed a 2006 version had been deleted by you. I expect it was a guideline problem (e.g., a verbatim copy of existing content), but let me know if there was some other reason. I am going to start creating the new page, but if you have issues please let me know. Thank you.

Aaron Abend (talk) 13:58, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Invited!

Hi Tom! Next on my list to bring to Featured Article level is the Collapse of the World Trade Center article. I have commenced doing some adjustments and some may become major as it proceeds. I feel it lacks the engineering discussion needed to provide a full understanding of how and why the buildings collapsed and for that I need persons better versed than I to at least steer it along the correct path...so anything you have to suggest there or here is welcome.--MONGO (talk) 14:08, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, sounds good. Tom Harrison 20:24, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
I think some organizational issues persist and was thinking a brief summary of the attacks, followed by a detailed description of the collapses (the article lacks many finer details) then on to the mechanics of what happened. I am not sure a lengthy discussion about lost artwork, etc, belongs as I think this needs to mainly discuss the engineering aspects. We may have to address conspiracy theories was well near the end if for no other reason than to put them in their bed.--MONGO (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
Agreed; some pruning is due. Tom Harrison 14:45, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Icon of a white exclamation mark within a black triangle
 Administrators must secure their accounts

The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

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.
  1. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
  2. Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
  3. 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 02:55, 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)

Collapse of the World Trade Center

Hello Tom, Can I ask you to look at the recent "edits" on the Collapse of the World Trade Center, which you reverted earlier. A noted conspiracy buff then reverted back to his preferred version, which I reverted back. This has been reverted, yet again, by the same person. My suggestion was to wait until MONGO's proposed rewrite, but this has been ignored. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 18:10, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

About a Research on the History of Conspiracy Theories

Dear Tom Harrison,

I take the liberty to contact you, I am a doctoral student in Political Science at the University of Paris 1 and my work focuses on the history of conspiracy theories, on which I have already published a few scientific articles and I am now preparing a book. I have been interviewing conspiracists and truthers, their critics and opponents for several years, working particularly on the French association ReOpen911 and the question of 9/11, as a now "historical" case of conspiracy...And obviously wikipedia has been a rather major theater of discussions/criticisms on the subject.

Looking at the related conspiracy pages' statistics, I realized that you have worked for long on these issues on wikipedia, hence my message and a small request: I would really appreciate if you can share bits of this "experience" with me in an interview.

All the best

Alt-right

Hi Tom; just wanted to see what your particular reasons were for this revert on Alt-right. Did you think I was cutting too much? I've been a major contributor to this article for a few years, adding a lot into it, but it's clearly gone way over the recommended WP:Article Size so I've been trying to prune in back, in the hope that one day we can get it through GAN and FAC.

Nomination of List of secret societies in popular culture for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of secret societies in popular culture is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of secret societies in popular culture until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

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.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
