Revert Calibri Article to July 4, 2017 Edit
I here ask you to please revert Calibri back to July 4, 2017 edit. It is from July 10 and onward that people, majorly from Pakistan, have tried to edit that article and tried to add false information to accredit findings of JIT report. Before that this article has no mention of "release date" and many have tried to change its creation date. This JIT report was submitted before Supreme Court on July 10, 2017 and people have tried to accredit claims in that JIT report by changing Wiki article. The current version has locked false information and has no citations for "release date". So this article should be reversed back to where it is not controversial. --Awaisraad (talk) 17:28, 12 July 2017 (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) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Testosterone
Good to see you back! If you have a minute, you might be interested in this discussion. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 19:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Gah, I vanished again shortly before you posted this :( What became of the discussion? Was a consensus reached? Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * We tracked the number of page views from the testosterone redirect to testosterone (hormone) and testosterone (drug) that demonstrated at least 6:1 ratio in favor of the hormone. Based on that result, it was clear that the hormone is the primary topic. We then split out a drug article and kept hormone article as the main. So I think it ended well.

Hello there!
It has been...years...since I last recall seeing you appear in my watchlist. It's good to see you around again, Fvasconcellos. :) Acalamari 23:49, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey there! It certainly has been a while, hasn't it? I'm trying to get my feet wet again :-) Thank you, and it's great to see you again as well. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:38, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Calibri
You have just protected the page Calibri from editing. Can you please revert it to its original form as on 10 July 2017. The changes made since then are unsourced and unauthentic. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrosby (talk • contribs) 09:51, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I'm sorry, but when applying full protection to a page because of content disputes, administrators generally protect the latest version, regardless of whether it is "right or wrong", unless there is evidence that the content is violating policy. Please see WP:PREFER for more information. The content in question was not unsourced—in fact, it was supported by multiple citations. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 10:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Yesterday's edit to the Calibri says that font reached the general public on January 30, 2007 and before that date it was not available to the general public, quoted with three bogus references which are pertaining to a court case and have nothing to do with the font's availability date. Whereas the reality is quite contrary to that, the font was presented to the public in 2004. In light of this I would request again that instead of disseminating wrong information to public, please revert this article to its original form as of 10 July 2017. Chrosby (talk) 08:43, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Chrosby, this is well addressed at Talk:Calibri, including with a comment from an expert on the issue. Let's keep the discussion there. I am willing to unprotect the page or revert it to a previous version once there is consensus to do so. The dispute itself is not yet resolved. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:30, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Fvasconcellos, I have gone through the Talk:Calibri. The experts have said in clear words that this font was available for general public much before 2007, which supports my argument. Even this article Calibri was created in 2005. Why so many changes in the article in last two days without any proof. It becomes very clear that these people are trying to manipulate a court case by these changes. Ref 1, 2 & 3 inserted in the article are totally irrelevant and don't prove anything. I will request again that article to be reverted to its original form of 10 July 2017 and locked again. Thanks Chrosby (talk) 13:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Chrosby, the experts have said nothing of the sort. What is clear and supported by references is that the font was designed from 2002 to 2004. has explained the 2005 creation date of the article at Talk:Calibri. Read these responses from two typeface experts (Thomas Phinney and Edo van Dijk of Edenspiekermann) for more information. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:54, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * This would be of your interest. --Saqib (talk) 16:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll have a look. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 17:12, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify on Chrosby's claim that the font was "presented to the public" in 2004—this is true, but it was "presented" as in "shown," not presented in the sense of made available as a separate download apart from the Windows or Office previews. Among other things, the booklet “Now Read This: The Microsoft ClearType Font Collection” was published in 2004. But that is not the same as easy and/or wide public access to use the fonts.

Wrong armenian Wikipedia logo
The SVG armenian Wikipedia logo have truncated letters. How can I fix?

Quinolones
About your suggestion "I'd just delete the redirect that currently sits at Quinolone antibiotic and move 4-Quinolones over there." I dont have the authority to do a move on top of an existing article. If you are an administrator, you can do this. I worry about a giant cut and paste to do the same thing. Advice welcome. Also welcome is your doing the same thing. --Smokefoot (talk) 03:14, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No problem—I thought you were an admin. I've completed the move and started doing some minor cleanup. Feel free to keep working on the content and start splitting off the chem stuff into a new 4-Quinolone article. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 04:00, 25 July 2017 (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 02:52, 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)

Proposed deletion of File:Stars in COA of Gagauzia.png

BNT162b2 sequence ?
Hi, about https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tozinameran&diff=994653431&oldid=994652533 can you tell where the .doc comes from, if the source is specifically mentioning BNT162b2 ? 2A01:E0A:852:9590:951A:4667:B724:846E (talk) 10:43, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The .doc comes from the World Health Organization, as stated in the citation. And yes, the source is specifically mentioning BNT162b2, which is officially named tozinameran, as demonstrated by multiple WHO and non-WHO sources in the article (including Health Canada and the European Medicines Agency). Fvasconcellos (t·c) 11:48, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Nothing specific to BNT162b2 is written in the doc. Can you be more relevant please ? This is important to authenticate this document. We are investigating on twitter about it, we have good hints it is the sequence, but for example absolutely not clues this is the final version. 2A01:E0A:852:9590:951A:4667:B724:846E (talk) 00:09, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * From the published articles it is clear that Moderna mRNA-1273 and several lab constructs are very similar to the BNT162b2 sequence. We only have hints that it is BNT162b2, not one of the others. 2A01:E0A:852:9590:951A:4667:B724:846E (talk) 00:16, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


 * There is nothing to authenticate, or "investigate" (that would be original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia). This is the published sequence of tozinameran as deposited in the World Health Organization's MedNet database. It is publicly available to any member of the WHO MedNet community (which I happen to be), who can search for "tozinameran" and download the cited document. Therefore, even though it is behind a "paywall" of sorts, it meets Wikipedia's threshold for verifiability. Again, as listed in the NIH Drug Information Portal, "BNT162b2" is a synonym of tozinameran. The document refers to tozinameran, and thus to BNT162b2. Not to the Moderna vaccine, to any of the previous BioNTech candidates, or to any other substance. This is not controversial and these are not "hints" or "clues"; it is a published document, publicly deposited in the official database of a United Nations agency. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:32, 23 December 2020 (UTC)


 * The document itself doesn't refer to tozinameran. That's what I am asking since the beginning, show us the hidden page on mednet referring explicitly to BNT162b2 or tozinameran, maybe telling if this is the final version. I hope you understand my demand is completely relevant. There is a lot to investigate about the sequence, what each part is doing exactly.


 * By the way in the sequence the full-length spike starts at 55 and ends at 3873 (1273 amino acids followed by two stop codons), from 55 to 102 it is SARS-CoV-2 S's signal peptide. The signal peptide is cleaved during the translation so the obtained protein has 16 (or 15 or 14 depending on sources) less amino acids. 2A01:E0A:852:9590:3524:2E2A:13D:741D (talk) 10:16, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I don't follow. What hidden page? What final version? Tozinameran is INN #11889, as cited in the reference. The document title is literally "11889".
 * If by "hidden page" you mean the MedNet interface, that's behind a registration wall—as I said, it is available to members only. That does not make it unverifiable. Not sure what you'd like to see, but here is a screenshot. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:02, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway for sharing the link to the sequence. The guy from mednet says he is in holidays for 2 weeks. Since it seems you don't want to share more I'll find someone else to really find out how the sequence went to be uploaded on mednet without any official communication. 2A01:E0A:852:9590:3524:2E2A:13D:741D (talk) 21:20, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Reversion of nomination
Greetings, You reverted the speedy deletion nomination of List of AFC Asian Cup winning managers with the edit summary "(CSD A11 does not apply)". Could you expound on your rationale? The list-class article is unsourced and a search returned nothing on such a list. Credible claim of significance gives examples and I suppose if a person is a winning manager then a claim of noteworthiness/importance/significance could be assumed, and not a stretch even if no sources back up the claim, but you didn't elaborate. -- Otr500 (talk) 02:30, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi there. CSD A11 is for material that was clearly invented by the author, which this clearly was not; it was a standalone list of factual claims easily verified in the articles themselves, with a credible claim of significance as you state yourself. It certainly lacked sources, but lacking sources is not a valid reason for speedy deletion, especially not under CSD A11. Proposed deletion or moving to draftspace would have been more appropriate options here. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:33, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
