== AppleInsider==
I think AppleInsider probably meets [[WP:RS]] and thus it seems reasonable that they have their own article. Care to discuss it further? -- [[User:Eraserhead1|Eraserhead1]] &lt;[[User_talk:Eraserhead1|talk]]&gt; 21:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:Sure. If you look at the PROD concern, it wasn't the reliability by the ''number'' of sources present, namely only one that's independent of the subject. You can read [[Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria]] for yourself, but it requires ''multiple'' sources unless it's won an award (a fact which should be cited itself). I'm also concerned, but less so, about the quality of the existing source, which is seven years old and mentions the site as part of a onetime event. Nothing about what the site is or does on a daily basis is sourced.  [[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] <sup>([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])</sup> 22:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

==Non-free rationale for File:Nanosaur2Screenshot2.png==
<s>
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:Nanosaur2Screenshot2.png]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[WP:NFCC|non-free content criteria]], but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to [[:File:Nanosaur2Screenshot2.png|the file description page]], and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free rationale]].

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/HereToHelp|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

:These fall into two categories: full protection of nonexistent pages or redirects that sound like, but are not, Apple products, and semiprotection of actual articles. Pages in the former category should remain protected unless Apple releases a product of that name (e.g. [[iPad 3]], about which nothing [[wp:v|verifiable]] can be said -- at the moment). However, I changed the destination of a few of these redirects.  In the second category, I notice:
:*Another admin, [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]], originally semiprotected [[iPad]] due to vandalism. I will unprotect the page.
:*[[iPod]] has been semiprotected for more than ''two years''. I unprotected it.
:*[[iPhone]] is not protected.
:*[[Apple Inc.]] has been protected for more than a year. Unprotected.
:*Edit protection for [[Macintosh]] expired in August and apparently there has not been trouble.
:*I feel that [[Steve Jobs]] would attract a large amount of vandalism if unprotected, but if you insist we can try it and find out.
:I reserve the right to reinstate semiprotection if a large amount of vandalism occurs, on a page-by-page basis. I also think that having sysop-only move protection is nothing to be concerned about. This was hardly an exhaustive survey or Apple articles, and I will happily examine any page you name specifically. Thank you bringing the matter to my attention. Cheers, [[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] <sup>([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])</sup> 05:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

::I was thinking more along the lines of [[IPhone 4gs]], [[iPhone four]], [[iPhone 4 prototype]], [[Original iPad]], [[Smart Cover]], and [[Smart Covers]]. (I don't see how a small discussion can be made mandatorily enforceable by page protection)


::To be honest with you, WP:Chrystal is a poorly thought-out policy and it should be interpreted within reason per WP:NOTBUREAU. The policy was originally crafted with the intent of keeping people from publishing their own rumors but [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADpbsmith&action=historysubmit&diff=418615746&oldid=418559057 "does '''not''' put a blanket bar on all speculation from outside sources."] After I made a few wording changes to clarify the interpretation of the policy, in a discussion I was not involved in, a few editors got consensus to rewrite the policy with a blanket ban on rumor articles. The new policy does not appear to be within reason. If [[The Singularity Is Near|this shot in the dark]], [[:Category:Technology forecasting|or all these]] can get an article, why can't [[iPhone 4S]]? If we're not supposed to document unacknowledged products then how are we supposed to document unacknowledged government [[special access programs]] like [[Area 51]]? [[User:Marcus Qwertyus|<span style="color:#214210;">'''Marcus'''</span>]] [[User talk:Marcus Qwertyus|<span style="color:#CC7722;">'''Qwertyus'''</span>]]  07:07, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

:::It's certainly a complicated issue, and I don't have the final say. My key concern is that while it may be ''possible'' to write a perfectly good article about product speculation, it often (usually) isn't actually done. Instead you get anonymous users creating three different copies of the same article with poor sourcing and abuse of formatting and no experienced user knows they exist and it's just total garbage from a quality control standpoint. That's the situation I'm trying to prevent - ''not'' experienced editors coming to a civil, thought-out consensus. More harm is done by people who don't know what they are doing, or don't bother to understand all sides of the issue, than someone who has made an informed decision different from yours. I'm trying to take the raw enthusiasm and shape it into something coherent. How well I achieve that goal is an open question.

:::I'll break your specific pages into three categories. The iPhone 4 redirects will never be worthy of articles, and on the off-chance that changes, they can be unprotected at that time. Unlocking Original iPad could start that whole discussion again, which I'm not opposed to doing in general, but the new consensus needs to precede the changing of the page. Besides, by the precedent of [[iPhone (original)]], you'd want [[iPad (original)]], and that page is unlocked. As for Smart Cover, you don't even need to start a discussion, just generate enough quality content in the unlocked [[iPad accessories#Smart Cover]] to show that it deserves a separate article. If you insist I will unprotect [[Smart Cover]], but I really think the accessories page will suffice.

:::Please read item #5 of [[WP:CRYSTAL]], which specifically forbids articles on product announcements. This may be the part that you referred to as "a few editors got consensus to rewrite the policy with a blanket ban on rumor articles," but it actually codifies what I've seen happen naturally. When the iPhone 4 leaked prototypes became so important we had to include them (though I was reluctant), they were part of the history section of the main iPhone article until the iPhone 4 was officially announced. This actually works in your favor: it's easier to craft a well-written and well-sourced paragraph than it is to write a whole article and justify its existence from meager speculative sources. Notice that these are very different arguments from "I must follow policy" (which, secondarily and subject to interpretation, still applies).

::I'd like to emphasize another nuance of the policy, which is that plenty of topics which should not have a separate article can be mentioned or even discussed at length in articles not solely about them. My recommendation to you is to shift your focus from what ''articles'' we do or do not have to what ''content'' we have. Notice whether and to what extent it is organized, coherent, easy to maintain, well-sourced, and links to other content when appropriate.

== MSU Interview ==

Dear HereToHelp,

My name is Jonathan Obar [[user:Jaobar]], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community,  and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-_New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:
* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name[[User:Jaobar/Admins_to_Interview_List_1|HERE]] instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --[[User:Jaobar|Jaobar]] ([[User talk:Jaobar|talk]])  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Chlopeck|Chlopeck]] ([[User talk:Chlopeck|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chlopeck|contribs]]) 22:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hello, many rumors have it that the "iPad 3" might be released tomorrow. I have started a document on my computer for it in [[Word]]. But when it was released I want to upload it instantly. But I am unable to, because you have created a redirect from the page so I cant edit it. It can currently only be edited by admins. It would be great if you could make this page, "semi-protected", so when it is released tomorrow I can put up the article that second.

; From the editor
Welcome to the (slightly delayed) third issue of the [[Wikipedia:Help Project|Help Project]] newsletter.

The past month has once again been a busy one for my fellowship. The full [[Wikipedia:Help Project/June 2012 survey|results and conclusions]] from the extensive user survey on help pages are now available, and make interesting reading. These do confirm a number of our suspicions about Wikipedia help, and suggest that the [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Community fellowship|current plan]] for the remainder of the fellowship is a sound approach.

Also last month I was fortunate enough to attend Wikimania 2012 in Washington DC, where I gave a presentation about help pages and the aforementioned survey results. You can find the slides from this [[:commons:File:Wikimania 2012 - Help pages fellowship.pdf|on Commons]]. Wikimania was also a great opportunity for many discussions with staff and community members, and these brought up some interesting ideas which I hope to follow up on.

One of the things much discussed was the planned tutorial pages. I've been working on a new design for them which can be seen at [[User:The wub/sandbox/1]], please let me know what you think (especially if you spot any bugs!).

Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter]]. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the [[Wikipedia:Help Project/Participants|participants page]] and add "no newsletter" next to your name.

Hello from Hong Kong, and the Wikimania DevCamp! Just a quick bulletin to update everyone on recent goings-on:

* There was a Wikimedia '''[https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/07/03/wikipedians-open-help-conference/ blog post]''' about our experience at the Open Help Conference.
* Based on discussions at the Open Help Conference, Seeeko, Ocaasi and the wub have drafted a series of '''[[Wikipedia:Help Project/Guidelines|guidelines]]''' for writing and improving help pages.
* There is now also a system in place for assessing help pages by ''quality'' and ''importance''. See '''[[Wikipedia:Help Project/Assessment]]''' for more details and the two scales we are using. 
* A project collaboration has been started, the first one is focusing on the above mentioned Assessment. Discussions about this are welcome at [[Wikipedia talk:Help Project#Current collaboration (and the next)]].
* [[Wikipedia:New contributors' help page/questions]] was merged into [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions]]
* A couple of other mergers have been '''[[Wikipedia talk:Help Project#Mergers|proposed]]''':
** [[Wikipedia:Questions]] and [[Wikipedia:Requests]]
** [[Wikipedia:How to help]] and [[Wikipedia:New contributors' help page]]
* [[Help:Introduction to talk pages]] and [[Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines]] have both been overhauled and updated to use the new tutorial design.

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, HereToHelp. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|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 [[Special:Preferences|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 [[Help:Two-factor authentication|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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''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 [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|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]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Established [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Procedural removal for inactive administrators|policy]] provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

; 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 [[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.

; 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]].

== 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. 

For the Arbitration Committee, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>
