User talk:Pegship/ArchiveMay2017

sheesh
an admin with a totally clean talk page, not sure which way to take that!!! Little island might exist but the photo has exif which suggests the new ed hasnt the slightest clue about lifting pics - the exif suggests something other than the user name, and all the other uploads need investigating as they all look like vios. cheers. still cannot get over the white space.

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 However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less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) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Stubs
Hi Pegship. I see you are having to redo my stub tags for me to make them more specific. Where do I find the templates for those topic specific tags? And do you know if they are available in the curation tool for new page patrollers?  Rob van  vee  05:49, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Referee stubs
The term 'referee' is used as the standard term for match officials in association football, and also ice hockey (I believe). Why can't this remain and be a more specific sub-stub of the new/proposed 'sports-officials' stub? GiantSnowman 07:57, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Pegship. If you have a moment, would you mind expressing your opinion here as to which of these two images File:Wonder_Woman.png or File:Wonder_Woman.jpg has better colors and is better suited for the infobox? Your time and help are greatly appreciated. DrRC (talk) 00:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Greetings
Hi Your Pegship, I'm on a ten-years-after spree in Films lately, so I thought of sending you a greetings token of my appreciation for your part in organizing the profusion of loose ends back then. I see that, always dedicated to stub sorting, you have reached Adminship of the Grandmaster Editor order! My congratulations and respect.Hoverfish Talk 15:03, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
