James Wong Ngai-jyu?
Hello, please, as an admin, can you get the user who changed James Wong's name from James Wong (filmmaker) to James Wong Ngai-yu to revert his actions? It borders on vandalism. Thank you Scotchisgood77 (talk) 16:06, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit: The edit has been reversed by another admin. Thank you. Scotchisgood77 (talk) 17:28, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Help!
Good day.

Sorry for bothering you. But a troll group is active in Wikipedia. Their actions are directed against one company. I previously worked for this company. The attacks have not stopped for about 8 years. This group began active actions immediately after the conclusion of contracts with the United Arab Emirates. This is a company engaged in the development of new transport technology. Now a testing ground is being built in the UAE within the framework of the American University of Sharjah.

Analysis of changes.

1.	The name has been changed. “String Transport” by “SkyWay Group”. String Transport is a transportation technology that has been developed by scientist and inventor Anatoli Yunitski since the 1970s. Now the company founded by this person has its own project designing bureau, production facilities, test site, and the construction of a test line in the UAE has begun. SkyWay Group is a non-existent term that does not relate to String Transport.

2.	Earlier, Anatoli Yunitski tried to start working in different countries. Thus, a demo sample based on a ZIL truck was even built in Russia in the 1990s. This clearly proved a high durability and reliability of string track structures. But in Russia, repeated attempts to take away promising developments were made. As a result, Yunitski was forced to leave the project. This story repeated in Australia. After a long search for a suitable region, it was decided to return to Belarus, where everything had to be started anew. And now, when the company SkyWay Technologies is close to bringing the project to life, trolls’ activity increased.

3.	The article reads: “Unfortunately, no one from the SkyWay Group has ever implemented a project outside Belarus” - this is a lie. Video from the construction site in the UAE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz0PIqa2o18.

4.	The article says: “Although many countries, including Australia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Lithuania and the United Arab Emirates started negotiations with the SkyWay group, no projects have been implemented” - a lie again. Memorandums have been signed and cooperation continues, however, no country can begin construction until the technology has passed certification, the company's employees are actively working on it now. (At least 2 months ago, when I worked there, it was like this).

5.	The article contains false information about financial irregularities - another slander from the detractors of the project. There are no securities related to string transport on sale. Investors are invited to purchase part of the intellectual property rights, the evaluation of which is deposited as the authorized capital in a company attracting investments. Central banks have not found any illegal actions done by representatives of companies offering to invest in the technology development in exchange for a part of the intellectual property rights, and regulators have issued a warning to secure themselves and relieve themselves of responsibility. Thus, in spite of the warning, there are major investors of the project in Germany, and Slovakia awarded the International Peace Prize to the General Designer of String transport for “a significant contribution to the development of human civilization, improvement of human living conditions and ensuring safety throughout the world.” https://www.teraz.sk/slovensko/tradicne-ankety-zdruzenia-nef-hospod/358270-clanok.html There are many other points in this article. I ask you to interfere because the standard methods for resolving disputes in Wikipedia do not help. I watched the history of changes and discussion of the article. A group of ill-wishers has misled the administrators. They started it all over a month ago. There is a forum in Russia, in which they coordinate their work: they discussed there the possibility of creating or replacing the page doing discrediting videos on YouTube.

Attempts to edit the article did not lead to any result. Five other users and me were suspended and called it vandalism. But how would you call the things that these people did?

Help me to return the article or delete it completely, thank you for any help. In my turn, I am ready to help with the creation of an article containing objective information. Based on facts and my experience as an engineer. You should understand that it's unpleasant to watch how they destroy what you have been working on for so long. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aleksei Pobol (talk • contribs) 14:41, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Please do not change locations from Dunbartonshire to West Dunbartonshire when the date in question is before 1 April 1996. We do not rewrite history on Wikipedia. This is very important. Mjroots (talk) 04:22, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular
   

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:45, 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 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
