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 However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less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)

Thank you
I know you get a fair amount of talk page kudos and various other friendly wikilove.

But I just wanted to let you know how sincerely it is appreciated that you are running for arbcom again.

This isn't to slight any of the other worthy candidates, just that I know you had said you were considering not going back again.

And while I understand it is a thankless job. I really do appreciate that you do it.

My heartfelt sincere thanks. - jc37 23:10, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

ACE Template

 * That worked well. Thank you. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

My solution to the New York problem is up for discussion on the Community Wishlist
FYI, I quoted you in my proposal. See 2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing.

Best of luck in your return to ArbCom. You'll have my full support. wbm1058 (talk) 16:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Sometimes I think simple good faith would solve "problems". I was nicely reminded that today is the day of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, - hoping for harmony ;) - I miss Dreadstar. - Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.
