Brownhills West (Midland Railway) railway station

If content was merged, the page is still needed for attribution as mentioned at AFD. A redirect from that title would be misleading but it could be moved to a title that would be a more useful redirect (such as Brownhills West station). Peter James (talk) 15:02, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

There is now attribution per WP:RUD by link in edit summary and linked talk page attribution of the editors concerned. Nthep (talk) 15:25, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Nnthep

I see you've blocked a user by the name of Nnthep for sock puppetry. Given their contributions and username, they most likely aren't here to add constructively to the encyclopedia, but how do you know they're a sock puppet? Who are they a sock puppet of? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 16:11, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

It's just one of a number of accounts blocked for abuse. The edits and creation indicate the same person is behind them. Nthep (talk) 16:18, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Are they the same as Zzeezz and Zzoozz? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 18:05, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Among others. Nthep (talk) 18:36, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Technical news

• In Special:Preferences under "Appearance" → "Advanced options", there is now an option to show a confirmation prompt when clicking on a rollback link.
• The Wikimedia Foundation's Community health initiative plans to design and build a new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Please see meta:Community health initiative/User reporting system consultation 2019 to provide your input on this idea.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee clarified that the General 1RR prohibition for Palestine-Israel articles may only be enforced on pages with the {{ARBPIA 1RR editnotice}} edit notice.

Miscellaneous

• Two more administrator accounts were compromised. Evidence has shown that these attacks, like previous incidents, were due to reusing a password that was used on another website that suffered a data breach. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. All admins are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication, please consider doing so. Please always practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.
• As a reminder, according to WP:NOQUORUM, administrators looking to close or relist an AfD should evaluate a nomination that has received few or no comments as if it were a proposed deletion (PROD) prior to determining whether it should be relisted.

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 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

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia 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 02:53, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Help Required New on Wikipedia

Dear Sir, I am new on Wikipedia and don't have too much knowlege on how to edit or upload a file on Wikipedia. So, I am looking for help related to this File:Tanya Nolan.jpg thanks a lot in advance Qwe0101 (talk) 17:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

@Qwe0101: the problem is that we need to be sure that the image is correctly licenced and where it comes from. The licence you have added gives anyone permission to use the image for anything they want. The EXIF information on the file says the copyright belongs to madekp and I can find the image on line credited to Tanya's website, so we have no assurance that the licence you added is correct. The solution is for the copyright holder to email Wikipedia giving consent for the licence as given, the process is detailed at WP:CONSENT. Nthep (talk) 18:51, 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)

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment concluded that creating pages in the portal namespace should be restricted to autoconfirmed users.
• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Technical news

• 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: Steward Stats and Patroller Stats.

Arbitration

• In response to the continuing compromise of administrator accounts, the Arbitration Committee passed a motion amending the procedures for return of permissions (diff). In such cases, 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 will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
• Following a formal ratification process, the arbitration policy has been amended (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.

Miscellaneous

• A request for comment is currently open to amend the community sanctions procedure to exclude non XfD or CSD deletions.
• A proposal to remove pre-2009 indefinite IP blocks is currently open for discussion.

Guideline and policy news

• An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
• An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
• An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news

• The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
• Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

Miscellaneous

• The previously discussed unblocking of IP addresses indefinitely-blocked before 2009 was approved and has taken place.
• The 2019 talk pages consultation produced a report for Phase 1 and has entered Phase 2.

Nomination of Emma Jose Townsend for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Emma Jose Townsend is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emma Jose Townsend 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. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:56, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

RD1

The Kenton County School District was fairly straightforward, but because I originally removed the material, then was reverted, I decided to be hyper-cautious and let some else handle it.

That said, I sometimes skip some requests because they are challenging, and I think you are the one who usually takes that one. For that, I thank you.--S Philbrick(Talk) 16:22, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

No problem. There are some real stinkers - over 1200 revisions deleted I think is my record. Nthep (talk) 16:46, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Revision deletion

Hi Nthep, I've noticed that you've recently deleted some history revisions, so I thought I could call on you. In which cases an edit summary (not the edit itself) has to be deleted? For example, an edit summary containing bad words (such as the one starting by "F") or in general offensive towards some other users might be deleted? Thanks in advance. 5.170.47.250 (talk) 14:46, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

@5.170.47.250: If you want to point out the article(s) to me I'll take a look. Nthep (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

The edit summary I was referring to is this. The author has already been told by another admin to use edit summaries properly because he'd written other similar edit summaries (even if without bad language) so there's no need to warn him again but just, in my humble opinion, to hide that specific edit summary containing such a word. 5.170.47.250 (talk) 10:12, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

I've looked at it and I don't think it meets the criteria for revision deletion per the green boxed text at WP:CRD. As the user has been warned and accepted the warning then this is a case where letting sleeping dogs lie is best, imo. Thank you for raising the question though and do not hesitate to raise others which you think may fit the criteria. Nthep (talk) 14:43, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Oh, ok. So writing that bad word in the edit summary doesn't mean, needs, it has to be deleted. Well, should I have new questions about this argument I'll ask you. Thank you again! 5.170.47.250 (talk) 18:49, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Salford v Wakefield, London v Hull KR, Rfl championship

Hey, I've been trying to find the attendance figures for Salford v Wakefield and London v Hull KR but can't find anything.

Could you see if you can find them and add them in?

Also, could you add the attendances for R16-17 of the Championship if you can?

Thanks L1amw90 (talk) 19:52, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

I've passed on all my recent copies of League Express which had the details in. If you haven't found them by the end of the year, I'll look them up from the Yearbook when it is published. Nthep (talk) 08:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
