Non-constructive edits and reverts of multiple editors by IP editors
Hi, Emperor. Hope you're having a good New Year. Long time no see. Can you assist with an IP editor using multiple IP accounts to make repeated non-constructive edits, who reverts both my reverts and Tenebrae's? The articles are Jupiter's Legacy, List of Jupiter's Legacy story arcs and List of Saga story arcs, and these three links are the three most recent reverts.

I and others have attempted to explain the various policies, guidelines, etc. to this editor that are violated by them in our edit summaries when more than one of us have reverted his/her edits, and in the messages I have left on the talk pages of the various IP accounts he/she is using (86.155.179.11, 109.155.200.50, 86.135.160.106, 109.155.147.13). I notice that in at least one case, 86.155.179.11, another editor has also left a message for similar behavior regarding other articles as well.

Two points to note:
 * All of these edits have largely been identical or similar (109.154.30.213 and 109.154.252.15).
 * All of these IPs are traced to the same general area in England (86.155.179.11, 86.135.160.106, 109.155.200.50, 109.155.147.13, 109.154.30.213, 109.154.252.15, 109.154.252.151).

Can you block these accounts and protect those articles? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

UPDATE: Another revert, this time by 109.155.133.161, which also traces to England. Nightscream (talk) 01:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Superman
Argh! I knew no matter how hard I tried I was going to forget to list one of my good colleagues at WikiProject Comics, when trying to show that one editor that there are people here who edit comics articles encyclopedically and not, as he put it, as "comics geeks." Thank you for joining the discussion! --Tenebrae (talk) 19:59, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Steel Serpent, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Byrne. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Presence
The same editor as before is back, doing the same illogical edits over and over with different IP addresses, while refusing to take the discussion to the Talk page: David A (talk) 14:42, 15 May 2016 (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.

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)
