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.

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 However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less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) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Unblock request on hold
There's an unblock request at User talk:Painreliefnomed, for a spamusername block that you placed. The editor seems to be willing to edit within policy (though a more detailed unblock request making that really clear would have been helpful). Although the editor linked to a web site related to the username, the change was a perfectly constructive one, replacing a dead link with a link to a live copy of the same cited source. I am inclined to unblock. Do you have any comment to make? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:24, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * - OK. Go ahead. No issues in that case. -- Alexf(talk) 22:27, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Aplusshanghai
Hi, quick question: in this edit, did you actually intend to tag User:Aplusshanghai as a sockpuppet of User:Art+Shanghai? I don't want to refactor your post, in case I misunderstand. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 13:28, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The first account created the article. A second account was created with a similar name (pointing to the same organization) and immediately started working on the same promotional (and copyvio) article. If you disagree, please feel free to refactor, or comment in the talk page for the user. Article was removed as copyvio (twice). -- Alexf(talk) 13:31, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I may have swapped the names inadvertently and not put the correct sock master. Thanks. -- Alexf(talk) 14:16, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Deleting my article
Hello, I was just wondering why you keep deleting my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reactshin (talk • contribs) 20:07, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Because the subject is not notable. The deletion notice in all the instances you created (please stop recreating the same article, which was deleted by several admins), clearly says :"(A7: Article about a website, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject)".
 * There are also at least three very detailed notices in your User Talk Page explaining the issue so I have to wonder how "I was just wondering why you keep deleting my article". Maybe you should read the Wikipedia rules, starting with the Five Pillars if you want to be a contributor. -- Alexf(talk) 21:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Deleting my article
Hello, I was just wondering why you keep deleting my entry under the page "Hyperspectral Imaging". There is a dedicated point "Software Resources" with the sub-point "Commercial Software". All software there is made by companies and all of the described software links to external pages of companies - and of course they do, because software is naturally programmed by someone and do not appear from nothing. So I'm wondering why you only delete my entry and don't delete all the other commercial software tools as well. Are you biased? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manfred Pail (talk • contribs) 15:20, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Not biased. An account was created in violation of the username rules, that made edits to spam their own site . The account was renamed to you at the company name, and proceeded to spam. Another account was created, under your own name this time, and did the same edit to the same article (Hyperspectral imaging). Seems to me you are not here to help build an encyclopedia but to disregard conflicts of interest rules. Maybe instead of writing references to your own site, you should instead discuss them in the article's talk page and open it for discussion. As per pointing out other spammy edits, thanks for the info, they will be looked at. Please read about conflicts of interest as pointed above. -- Alexf(talk) 15:29, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Well the topic is "Commercial Software". Surprisingly all of the software is comercial ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manfred Pail (talk • contribs) 15:41, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Pretty harsh
Hello, I just need to bring out my concerns about the loose banhammer fingers. Case I refer to is user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Hrastprogrammer While it were a self promoting in sense that the interpreter is published through a shareware lincense, but it makes no difference concidering the nature of that wikipedia page List_of_BASIC_dialects (a list full of commercial products). I don't have specific information or if there is more related, but this infinite time ban is grose if it only from that one edit in list of BASIC dialects. I have no connection to this other than a HP calculator and visiting on calculator community forums. PS. Happy (or unhappy, which ever floats the boat) holidays. --Wartiokone (talk) 14:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * In this case you are correct. It may have been harsh, a product of a string of spammers that day that needed blocking. I have reconsidered and unblocked the account. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. -- Alexf(talk) 14:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Moltkeplatz
You have blocked this user on the basis of his username. Moltkeplatz is a place name in the German language, and occurs in a number of contexts. the two German generals called von Moltke were, as I am certain you know, very famous in their time - and indeed, subsequently. It is not clear to me how we would interpret Wikipedia username policy in such a way as to bar the use of this name. It clearly is in no sense promotional, and the last famous von Moltke was active during the first world war, so impersonation cannot be an issue. Could I ask you to share your thoughts on this with me?-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 20:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok. I do know von Moltke. You are correct. Reinstated. -- Alexf(talk) 20:46, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

User:Rivercityrascals
Howdy, I came to this user as a result of UTRS appeal #17120. Having looked at their contributions there is obvious COI but their edits don't seem to be particularly spammy. I am inclined to change the block to uw-causeblock. Are you OK with that? Just Chilling (talk) 20:43, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok. The reason was the user name matched the title of the article they were working on. Go ahead. -- Alexf(talk) 20:48, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Request to consider an unblock request
There is an unblock request at User talk:Blugri, for a spamusername block you placed. I have discussed the issues with the editor, and I feel that his or her latest post indicates that he or she now understands the issues, and will not edit promotionally again. I'm afraid that the combination of my messages and the editors' replies make up something of a wall of text, but perhaps you would be willing to have at least a glance at it, and give me your opinion. Personally, I am willing to unblock. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I see it was already renamed. Go ahead and unblock. The original account exactly matched the name of their post. -- Alexf(talk) 13:36, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yes, I know the original user name matched the post, and that combined with the promotional tone of the article justified your block. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:49, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

 * As stated in your user talk page, is the person notable?. Does the person have an article? You should not enter redlinks in a list, as clearly stated in the list's edit page. If you can meet the Golden Rule, please go ahead and write an article before you put a link in List of Indian architects. Furthermore, please always start a new section in talk pages, instead of mixing your message with the previous unrelated section, and always sign your posts in talk.

Tripuraneni Ramaswamy
Hi Alex,

I am not familiar with Wiki and ways to use/edit or messages. Precisely the reason why I keep away from these edits. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Anilatluri#January_2017 to which you responded. I seem to have inadvertently put a link to my personal site. No wrong intentions. Some one has changed the name of the personality there to read some thing else. I couldn't let it pass and do nothing about it. I thought that person would see reason. Perhaps you would be able to help me there. Or I should choose some one who is familiar with the subject, and then entrust that editing job.

Thanks for your time. Anilatluri (talk) 15:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It is important you understand about conflicts of interest and that posting links to your own website is not the best way to go here. If you want to ask questions, please ask at the Tea House. You can do your own edits, as long as you follow the rules. Please always start a new section in messages (or even better in this case keep the thread intact and answer in your user talk page where the original issue was posted). Note also that it is Wikipedia (not Wiki which is a generic type of software of Wikipedia is just one example). -- Alexf(talk) 15:56, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

PSLawNet
Hey I wanted to give you a heads up that I tagged PSLawNet for deletion as nearly every version of the article from the creation to now had a pretty significant copyvio.

Speedy deletion of Ellp page
Hi Alexf,

I'm contacting you as the page I created was deleted. I understand that the reason it was deleted is because it was found to be promotional. The content created explaining the history and setup of the company Ellp was basic information not for the purpose of advertising the company or product, but merely to use Wikipedia as a means to create a central place where all the necessary and factual information about the company can be found. I was trying to achieve something similar to the Iobit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IObit), IFTTT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFTTT) and Zapier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapier) pages.

If need be I have a number of sources and references that feature Ellp.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks TantiJ (talk) 13:12, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The page was indeed promotional, down to using TM in the title (see: Manual of Style/Trademarks). You say "merely to use Wikipedia as a means to create a central place where all the necessary and factual information about the company can be found". That is not the purpose of the Project. You have to understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that contains articles on notable subjects. You also have to understand what Wikipedia is not. You are welcome to start an article in a subpage, if the company is notable, and this can be asserted by using verifiable, reliable sources, all of which were lacking. -- Alexf(talk) 13:29, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Deleting my entry on List_of_unit_testing_frameworks#.NET_programming_languages
Hello Alexf,

I am writing with regards to the deletion of entry about LightBDD framework I added yesterday to the list of unit testing frameworks for .NET languages.

At the beginning I would like to excuse if I made some silly mistake in the entry I have added - I saw the warning when I was editing the page, however I was not sure what caused it, and when I re-edited the entry, the warning did not appear again and let me to submit the changes. As I see now, there was still some issue with it.

The LightBDD is open-sourced, freely available for the .NET community (it is not commercial product), hosted publicly on Github. It is being referenced by the community on the lists of testing frameworks: and it is being used by the community (Nuget shows the numbers of downloads here (ref removed - not an article)).
 * http://conductofcode.io/post/bdd-frameworks-for-dotnet-csharp/
 * https://github.com/dariusz-wozniak/List-of-Testing-Tools-and-Frameworks-for-.NET#behavior-driven-development--specification-by-example

I have assumed that this wiki page is a proper place to mention LighBDD as it belongs to the same group like other frameworks listed on that page. I see that there are already open-sourced frameworks, hosted on github (this (ref removed - not an article) is just one example here). The entry I put about the LightBDD was purely referring to the project, it have not refer any companies using it and it contained a very brief description what it is and that it integrates with other frameworks (what is commonly mentioned in other framework entries as well (like here (ref removed - not an article))).

With regards to that, I would like to ask what made my entry to be rejected and what should I do to make it added to the list.

Best regards,

Suremaker (talk) 14:59, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is not the place to write article material. You were adding a spam link to your own stuff with a clear conflict of interest.

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:23, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Bad Block?
You Blocked this User for supposed Advertising? Surely they have only updated existing links? Bosley John Bosley (talk) 19:13, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * How is it a bad block when the username exactly matches the name of the URL he is spamming over and over (at the time of the block he had used his website URL in 12 separate INSTANCES). That is a conflict of interest and a clear violation of the username policy. You may disagree on the notice placed, but that is not clear from your message. If you do not agree with the block at all, please state your reasons why and we can discuss it. -- Alexf(talk) 20:38, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with Bosley John Bosley here. Yes, the user name is inappropriate, but this user did not introduce a single link of their own to any article they edited. They merely corrected dead reference links already pointing to their site which were broken due to a reorganization of their own site, a very appropriate contribution in my opinion. I believe this is covered in WP:COIADVICE (#4). Perhaps a notice pointing this user toward a name change along with a temporary block would be more appropriate. -- &#124;  Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  22:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
