I need your help
Hi! can you please check out this Florian Munteanu case a German actor. I've seen plenty of pages here on Wikipedia with actors who played a single role in a movie. I don't understand why some people complain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4F8:1C17:530D:0:0:0:1 (talk) 14:14, 24 November 2018 (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 02:59, 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)

Valora Noland
Is this the right place to leave a new message for Finlay? It is the very bottom. Valora Noland here. I see you removed the quotation marks from the title of my book "Horse Stories". Please ask to see it at Amazon. The quotation marks are part of the title. Perhaps today they are not as often used as they used to be. I just read a book where I saw a lot of them used as I have---to indicate a word, a term, which is not used in the usual manner. Regular horse stories, as I read them in my youth, would usually be different stories about different horses, invented or real. I have used "Horse Stories" as my title because I used to read them and now have written them. However, the book is all about JUST ONE HORSE. So, not quite the same as just horse stories, if you get the point. Could you please put them back?

Since I first got an account in Wikipedia I have only added a few pieces of data, and made only a few corrections. To Be Free (whoever that may be) was a bully a few months back, for he kicked me out of being able to log in and do anything. So I am trying to contact you this way. I think there could have been a less dictatorial way of dealing with my biography. Perhaps not all I would add or correct, but certainly some of it. I have no reason to lie about my short time in Hollywood. Thanks, Valora Noland/Valora Tree


 * Hi Valora. I've readded the quote marks. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 20:54, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

OKAY< BUT WHERE DID THE BOOKS GO?

Finlay, even if I was able to use Wikipedia like the true humans do, I wouldn't necessarily know how to reply to you, so am doing it as an edit here. Looked at my page to see if you had gotten the message, and don't see either book mentioned anymore, "Horse Stories" (which you might enjoy reading), or Water Lily Ponds. Some of the poetry in Water Lily Ponds was written during the 1960s, so is more the real "ME" than any Hollywood engendered profile. About quotation marks as I'e used them, Websters says to use them on words used in an unusual sense, coined words, and slang words (aside from as quotation marks).

 * You can discuss the content of the article at its talk page, Talk:Valora Noland. I don't know much about the article or what is or isn't in it; mostly I'm just a "worry about punctuation" person. Which is every bit as fun as you might imagine. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 21:31, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Claire Challis in Trollie Wallie
Your edit to the article Trollie Wallie says "we should cite a source for the sister's name" in the edit summary. The title screen of the actual game Trollie Wallie says "Graphics by Claire". Does that count as a source? J I P &#124; Talk 13:13, 6 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Sure, I think so. Most games have a "personnel" section, listing people's responsibilities, and that, with a footnote citing the title page, would seem fine to me. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 13:42, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
