::Hello. I am currently interacting with Buffs in several different places. I asked him to please not tag me or address me any further and I believe I have stated twice now that I am uncomfortable interacting with him due to degrading comments about Native Americans (comparing ourrespected community members and groups of members to white supremacists and flat earthers because the majority (he says 'fringe') dare to speak out against appropriation, stereotyping and racism. His tone feels threatening, he seems to be baiting anyone who does not hold his point of view and I feel as though he is trying to bully me off of the pedia. I have interacted with individuals with diverse opinions but have never been met with this type of over the top treatment. I have remained civil and have quoted his harmful remarks back to him specifically but he says that it didn't say it that way to similar responses, I have quoted his words back ''exactly'' as they were stated. I also do not think it is to the pedia's benefit to have equate a respected author, who happens to be a tribal judge, to flat earth theorists. I do not know how to proceed to get him to leave me alone because asking him certainly doesn't work. I do not enjoy feeling harassed or targeted not do I enjoy seeing him demean respected individuals. Thank you for your attention to this issue.[[User:Indigenous girl|Indigenous girl]] ([[User talk:Indigenous girl|talk]]) 23:08, 28 March 2019 (UTC) |

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi Mark Ironie.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, 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 PERM. 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.
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 here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – March 2017
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2017).
- Amortias • Deckiller • BU Rob13
- Ronnotel • Islander • Chamal N • Isomorphic • Keeper76 • Lord Voldemort • Shereth • Bdesham • Pjacobi
- A recent RfC has redefined how articles on schools are evaluated at AfD. Specifically, secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist.
- AfDs that receive little participation should now be closed like an expired proposed deletion, following a deletion process RfC.
- Defender, HakanIST, Matiia and Sjoerddebruin are our newest stewards, following the 2017 steward elections.
- The 2017 appointees for the Ombudsman commission are Góngora, Krd, Lankiveil, Richwales and Vogone. They will serve for approximately 1 year.
- A recent query shows that only 16% of administrators on the English Wikipedia have enabled two-factor authentication. If you haven't already enabled it please consider doing so.
- Cookie blocks should be deployed to the English Wikipedia soon. This will extend the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user after they switch accounts under a new IP.
- A bot will now automatically place a protection template on protected pages when admins forget to do so.
Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorting socks
Things continue to develop on ANI. I imagine other accounts will emerge over the next few days, and longer. We can re-arrange all of the sockdrawer flags once it's sorted. I wouldn't bother till this settles out. Noting for now that the oldest account, so the puppeteer so far, is now:
- Chitt66 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)
first edit: 02:15, February 23, 2011. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 05:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
And yes, this one is already indeffed. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 05:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
- I hate it when there is a long run of edits with socks like these. This one is nasty with so many of the edits introducing factual errors in a multitude of articles over months and years. Ugh. I'll pick this up tomorrow. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
- So far it seems to be the oldest account. Mark Ironie (talk) 01:17, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

D/S Alert
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Please note that comments like this may be seen as a violation of the civility requirement. Deletion discussions are not the place for vague speculation about editors' motives; any specific concerns regarding canvassing, COI, etc. should be raised at the appropriate venue. Thanks –dlthewave ☎ 03:26, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
Sa la k'adita
Thanks for your observation on the Cherokee descent list. My conclusion is that, in a month or so, I'll have to launch a Cherokee syndrome article, since there's entire books written on the subject. Merry Christmas! Yuchitown (talk) 16:52, 25 December 2018 (UTC)Yuchitown
- Since the list has been deleted, I think that is an excellent idea. That would be a much easier article to create and maintain than the list. Although I absolutely understand the premise and basis for the list, I do think it had flaws as a list. A one sentence definition was too little to accurately define it for WP. A Cherokee syndrome article would flesh the concept out more fully. Certainly specific notable people could be included as part of it, with appropriate citations, of course. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 18:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Request for comment regarding Keene
To be clear, no, that source was from above in the talk page. GMGtalk 23:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, that makes sense about why it was in that citation list for the quote. I can be slow some days. Cheers, Mark Ironie (talk) 00:15, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
