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 03:01, 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)

Clarification
This image - file:Keyser.svg - is the Keyser family coat of arms? Because the metadata says "Congreve". DS (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Whoa, thanks for noticing. The metadata is correct; the Congreve coat of arms is File:Azure_a_cheveron_blanc_between_three_haches_argent.svg. The Keyser one should be File:Argent a palm tree on a mount vert with a scutcheon azure charged with three pierced molets argent hanging from the branches and a chief azure with a sun therein between two gem ringsor.svg. Given that File:Keyser.svg is unused and hosted here on WP (rather than Commons), I'll delete it to avoid confusion and inaccuracy! Thanks, MIDI (talk) 15:17, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Battle of the North Inch
Hi, regarding your fourth point requiring change for the hook for Template:Did you know nominations/Battle of the North Inch, the reference from Browne supports that there were thirty on each side so I am not sure what the problem is here ? I could add another inline citation from Browne after this fact in the article ? but they may be considered over-referencing from the same source.QuintusPetillius (talk) 18:35, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Replied at Template:Did you know nominations/Battle of the North Inch. MIDI (talk) 21:12, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have changed the line in the Battle section of the article to that the numbers have been "variously reported" specific to as be what is said on page 154 of the book being quoted as source for the whole paragraph. I hope that this is sufficient. Thanks.QuintusPetillius (talk) 21:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have added Browne as the source where you added the citation needed template as page 154 does clearly state the numbers have been "variously reported". However, finding examples of historians who have actually given different numbers is another thing. Both Browne and Keltie (also quoted in the article) state that some writers have mis-interpreted the works of Hector Boece and George Buchanan to say that 300 warriors took part, but they do not actually specify which writers do this. As you have mentioned any further adjustment to the article would be straying to far from the DYK nomination and should be taken up at the talk page. Regards.

--valereee (talk) 00:01, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * WOW! Congratulations! Yoninah (talk) 01:34, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I just noticed the 30k views for this on Tuesday. I'm not a DYK regular, but this seems pretty remarkable. Who'd have thought a huge pile of mud would be of such interest! TiB  chat  19:17, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Crikey! I've been off the radar for a week or so with flu (despite having had the flu jab about three weeks ago, go figure) so I'm only just picking up on this. What a fab demonstration of collaboration. I was very surprised we didn't have an article on the subject when I visited there at the end of October; it's not the most famous place on the UK's waterways network but it's far from obscure (and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways). I think we struck lucky by having a subject with an easy interesting hook, an engaging picture (even at thumbnail), and possibly a decent timeslot on the main page—but that's not taking away from the fact we have quite a nice article!
