; What prompted you to send this message? |

: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|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 [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account. |

== 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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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. |
|||

|||
[[File:Octicons-tools.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Technical news''' |
|||
:* [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/adminstats XTools Admin Stats], a tool to list admins by administrative actions, has been revamped to support more types of log entries such as AbuseFilter changes. Two additional tools have been integrated into it as well: [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/stewardstats Steward Stats] and [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/patrollerstats Patroller Stats]. |
|||
[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|20px|alt=]] '''Arbitration''' |
|||
:* In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|passed a motion]] amending the [[WP:RETURN|procedures for return of permissions]] ([[Special:Diff/881241712/891851441|diff]]). In such cases, {{tq|the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions}}; administrators found failing to have adequately done so {{tq|will not be resysopped automatically}}. All current administrators have been notified of this change. |
|||
:* Following a [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy/Proposed amendment (April 2019)|formal ratification process]], the [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] has been amended ([[Special:Diff/892690213|diff]]). Specifically, the two-thirds majority required to remove or suspend an arbitrator now excludes (1) the arbitrator facing suspension or removal, and (2) any inactive arbitrator who does not respond within 30 days to attempts to solicit their feedback on the resolution through all known methods of communication. |

:* A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump (policy)#RfC: community general sanctions and deletions|request for comment]] is currently open to amend the [[Wikipedia:General sanctions#Community sanctions|community sanctions procedure]] to exclude non XfD or CSD deletions. |

:* A [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Proposal about some indefinite IP blocks|proposal to remove pre-2009 indefinite IP blocks]] is currently open for discussion. |

Hi Philg88. Are you still using User:Philg88/uw-tilde. Was it a sandbox? Checking because it's polluting the category. If it's something you no longer need, perhaps we can delete it? Thanks. --Bsherr (talk) 16:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
With Revision as of 07:45, 21 February 2016toPonce Denis Écouchard Lebrun with the editorial comment "References: Tweak ref" you altered {{EB1911}}
to{{cite EB1911}}
in doing so you removed the attribution (see WP:FREECOPYING):
{{EB1911}}
: This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: "Lebrun, Ponce Denis Écouchard". Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). 1911.{{cite EB1911}}
: "Lebrun, Ponce Denis Écouchard" . Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.). 1911.However if you had run the Earwig's Copyvio Detector you would have seen that there was 77.6% chance that the text was copied from EB1911.
Have you made this change to the EB1911 template to may more articles? -- PBS (talk) 14:31, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
{{EB1911}}
includes the parameter ref=. For such cases enter ref=none, however that is not usually desirable as one should usually either link short inline citations to it, or change it into an inline citation with the parameter inline=y

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Untitled 2017 Star Trek TV series. Since you had some involvement with the Untitled 2017 Star Trek TV series redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Dear Philg88,
I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Ten Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for ten years or more.
Two years overdue! Congratulations, old friend. It's been a long time. I hope you are well. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:43, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
