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 02:50, 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)

Hello, George. Please see the editor's response at his talk page. I replied to you earlier at the AIV page but it has gone. What I said was:

"I perhaps should have said earlier that I checked the site which he cited as his source. There is no mention whatsoever of Mr Jackson anywhere on that site. The only use of Jackson is in a street name. The citation was given to deliberately mislead. Notice also that it was unlinked, which means you have to copy and paste it into the address bar. The content he removed in the third edit amounts to 5.5kb, which is substantial. Furthermore, he excused himself by saying "I'm just getting back into editing again", which suggests he may be evading a previous block. Sorry, but I think this is clear-cut BLP vandalism to try and discredit Mr Jackson. The whole thing has been cloaked by explanations, apologies and provision of a supposed source to try and make the edits look authentic."

Having seen his response, I remain convinced that his actions are pre-meditated. He has invented a story about Mr Johnson and has deliberately removed good content from the article. No Great Shaker (talk) 18:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
