Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 03:01, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently exploring the vast and hilarious world of WP:WikiFauna and I noticed a really good joke. It took me a minute to find out it was you. You did it 14 years ago, so I guess you don't remember it and it brings you nostalgia. Anyway, as a hard Beatles fan, you really caught me off guard with that joke, and I never saw a Beatles joke in the wild, not to even think about a good one, thank you, and I will now continue reading about WikiVampires.

I need to post an article about myself because I'm doing a research project for school. I sent you a goat because youd be a goat if you did this for me. If you want to talk to me about this my email is vanessacurtyy@gmail.com

Hi Khaosworks101, I would like to bring your attention to User:Kingoflettuce. This editor has been creating, editing and nominating articles (I suspect for personal advocacy) on Wikipedia, such as Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act which was on WP:DYK today, as well as Kirsten Han, who is only notable for her opposition. I tried to engage this user, pointing out that the opinion section cannot have undue weight, but my NPOV article and section tags all got reverted and the only justification provided was that I was a vandal. User:Kingoflettuce then called me a "Boomer" and used "lmao" to respond to my comments (uncooperative and bordering on personal attacks), without even attempting to discuss anything on the respective talk pages, unlike me where I wrote my reasons for my edits. I hope you can do something about this, thanks! --121.7.1.169 (talk) 01:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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)

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)

Established policy provides for the removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. Your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to the required activity level before the beginning of January 2023.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to engage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for re-engaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to re-engage with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 08:57, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
