Serious issue
With another over zealous freely associateve talk page tagger who always hides anglicanism and catholicism inside the christianity main tag, and now you are putting the calvinistic version outta sight by putting christianity up - any cluses? JarrahTree 03:40, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Removed cats
What was wrong with the three categories you removed from Category:Chatham House? — swpb T 19:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * They only apply to the article Chatham House and not to other articles in that category. Tim! (talk) 17:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Category:Courts by country
Hi Tim, I hope my refactoring following your nomination at Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_June_20 was helpful. If not, please feel free to revert or re-edit my edits.

Did Category:Courts by country need to be tagged and listed? It makes a good title for the section, but it's only the sub-cats of that one that need to be considered for renaming. – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:54, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I have changed the speedy tags to full CFR on the subcategories, I'll remove the tag off the parent. Tim! (talk) 17:14, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Speedy renames
Thanks for you recent CFDS nominations. I was misreading your support about the Tamwprth subcat as support for the old name.

Please follow up Category:Bolivarian_Navy_of_Venezuela with the sub-cats. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:38, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Years in women's golf
If you are going to add these categories, then please do it right. Since "year in women's golf" is a sub-cat of "year in golf" then you shouldn't be adding a "year in women's golf" cat without removing the "year in golf". And it should use a sort key eg, Category:2013 in women's golf|Kraft Nabisco Championship. Tewapack (talk) 18:14, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I have fixed all of them now. Tim! (talk) 19:53, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You missed everything in Category:LPGA Tour seasons (and some others that I've already edited). Tewapack (talk) 22:54, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Hermitages in the United States
Thank you for creating Category:Hermitages in the United States. I've created one, and I'd like to create more. Are you interested in working on this together please? The tricky part is to find the right sources. Please ping me when you reply. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:10, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi I don't have any special knowledge of hermitages, I only created the category. It might be worth asking on the talk page of New Camaldoli Hermitage (Talk:New Camaldoli Hermitage) if anyone can assist with sources for creating further such articles. Tim! (talk) 18:02, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

SOTUS: The Series
Hi Tim

I am the content creator of the above page SOTUS: The Series. However i have a problem, there is this 1 user by the name FM, he/she has been editing the page which i am currently editing (the series is 16 episodes long, and it's only the 7th episodes to date). FM has been changing one word from the original strawberry to pink, and i have just revert this issue for the 5th time, i am not sure what to do here, but i hope you could advise how should i go about it. Blocking the user or??. Thanks and appreciate it.Evan Weinstein | Talk 04:45, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi I suggest trying to discuss with the other user, they may have a reason to think pink milk over strawberry milk either at Talk:SOTUS: The Series or at User talk:FM. Tim! (talk) 09:26, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your prompt reply, i have PMed FM in the User talk page. The reason is because the actual Thai translation of the series is strawberry instead of the opposed pink, and not to confuse with the international users who will frequent the site. (is like coffee, you will not want people to see the page having the word "black drink" or "brown drink". Will also update you if FM responds or tries to edit again. Evan Weinstein | Talk 10:41, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Dear Tim, the user FM changed the word again, is it possible to protect the page and block him/her from editing. Please advise.Evan Weinstein | Talk 14:07, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello Evan I have applied semi protection for now, see how that goes. Let me know if there are more problems and I'll consider further measures. I wouldn't be suprised if FM, ItsTrueTrustMe and Pinkmilk66 are the same user. Tim! (talk) 18:50, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks TimEvan Weinstein | Talk 22:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Tim, is it possible to allow someone to edit the page, however that user is a new user.Evan Weinstein | Talk 11:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * They can either request an edit to be made on the talk page, or wait for the semi protection to expire which is currently for 1 month. Tim! (talk) 18:20, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Tim, thanks for helping to protect the page, however the user FM is back to revert, i am not sure could you make the page to be protected. Thank you. Evan Weinstein | Talk 15:42, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Dear Tim, I am tired of reverting the articles, I feel like requesting the whole page to be deleted from the Wikipedia database.Evan Weinstein | Talk 07:13, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I see this is very frustrating but I just get the feeling they are trying to make a good faith edit, maybe not a native English speaker so finding it difficult to explain. "Pinky milk" does seem to be a thing, maybe they genuinely believe they are right. Tim! (talk) 19:42, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I notice the same user is editor is editing the Thai-language version of the page . Tim! (talk) 20:01, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply, anyway, i am going to edit to "pinkish milk", because this is the only word that will sound better, in terms of english language, we do not want to educate people that milk is pink or pinky milk.Evan Weinstein | Talk 23:42, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

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)
