Account issues

Just in case my account starts to do something weird... I've had hundreds of failed attempts to gain access to my account across a dozen different projects in recent months. There seems to be nothing I can do about it, but it seemed reasonable to place a notice here that might answer some questions in the event that the person attempting to brute force my password is successful.

More account issues

I'll leave this message unsigned so it doesn't get archived. I've had about 100 failed login attempts on my account in the last few days. This has been happening for awhile, but the pace seems to have increased recently. Considering all the attempts, I'm not sure how long it will be before someone is successful in breaking the password. It's not terribly easy to guess, but I can't really evaluate the difficulty against any method someone might use.

You can request 2FA, it is a misconception that only admins can get it. See Wikipedia:Simple 2FA and my comment on the talkpage how/where to request it for your ENWP account. ☆ Bri (talk) 15:34, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest

  US Banknote Contest  
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
