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 02:48, 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)

What's the rush? WP:NOTNEWS. We go with reliable published sources, not tweets. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If you think https://twitter.com/10downingstreet isn't an official publication by a reputable source then I don't know what to say to you. :-) Further, the Political Editor of Sky is effectively the house journalist for the Conservative Party right now; they're going to made based on direct instruction from (probably) the PM's chief of staff or whomever. James F. (talk) 17:46, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

PS: I can accept tweets from the official 10 Downing St account, but not from lobby correspondents. Where is the evidence of reliability? Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:47, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. Having said tweets are problematic, you now think the medium is fine, but you think senior journalists whose entire future career is based on reliability of their comments in moments like these are likely to be unreliable? James F. (talk) 17:51, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Well, I did used to work there. ;-) But that's fair, I'm not sure you'll ever find a reliable source in those terms telling you how the political journalism world works, sorry. James F. (talk) 17:51, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I've now added the official tweets as the primary references, and dropped Barclay as that doesn't have a second source yet. Hope this helps! Thank you for keeping me honest. :-) James F. (talk) 17:58, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
