Moons of Jupiter
On March 10, 2015, you edited and moved moons of Jupiter articles and their associated talk pages on the theory that the names Jupiter LI and Jupiter LII are permanent names. I believe this is a mistake. See, which says, "Jupiter LI  (no name yet)" and "Jupiter LII  (no name yet)". Also see, which lists these satellites as "yet to be named". On August 1, 2015,you edited Jupiter LI and Jupiter LII, inserting "It received its permanent name in March of 2015." with the ref "CBET 4075: 20150307 : SATELLITES OF JUPITER, 7 Mach 2015." I believe this reference is in error. If you can establish that the names Jupiter LI and Jupiter LII are really permanent names, please forgive this message. Otherwise, please arrange to have the articles moved back to where they were and rename the moons back to their standard temporary names. Respectfully, —Anomalocaris (talk) 12:20, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The nuance is that these satellites received their permanent numbers in 2015. Edited accordingly. Urhixidur (talk) 13:59, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Do you have a citation for this, preferably on the public Internet? Also, even if Jupiter LI and Jupiter LII are considered permanent while the longer S/2010 J 1 and S/2010 J 2 are considered temporary, all other moons of Jupiter that have temporary names are listed in Wikipedia under their temporary names, so why are these two listed this way? —Anomalocaris (talk) 16:28, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The citation is the CBET, unfortunately. You can look at http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Page/Planets as confirmation. The naming process in astronomy progresses in four stages. First are individual observations, which bear varying identification tags depending on the source (e.g. "SK03J170" in http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K03/K03G19.html). Next comes the realization that this could be an actual object, at which point it gets a provisional designation (e.g. S/2003 J 17). Once a sufficient number of separate observations have firmly established the object's existence and orbital details, it gets a permanent designation (e.g. Jupiter L). Normally, the object gets a true name at the same time or very shortly afterwards, as the discoverers have had plenty of time to decide what that name will be and the IAU rules are pretty straightforward. It just so happens that in the cases of Jupiter LI and LII, the discoverers have (presumably) just not had the inclination or time to submit a name. There are plenty of historical precedents for this, such as S. B. Nicholson's refusal to name his discoveries (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinope_%28moon%29#cite_note-Nicholson1938-6). The key point to retain here is that Jupiter LI and LII are not temporary designations. Urhixidur (talk) 16:17, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Meanings of minor planet names CSD G6
Hi, would you mind processing Meanings of minor planet names: 220,001–230,000 to make way for  to be moved there? You seem like most relevant admin for the job :)  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:46, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * All done. How did that mistake ('230000' for '230,000') occur, originally? Urhixidur (talk) 14:11, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Interesting question... Found it! back in 2009, and it wasn't noticed by whoever uncommented it, nor by anyone else in the meantime. I also found Meanings of minor planet names: 3100,001–310,000. These pages seem to get a lot less attention than their List of minor planets counterparts, which is why I've been so busy with them lately.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  15:04, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * 3100,001–310,000 has been dealt with forthwith. Urhixidur (talk) 15:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * And Meanings of minor planet names: 289001–291000&mdash;the intended page was 290001–291000, which exists and contains 289001–291000's content.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  20:01, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Urhixidur (talk) 22:41, 22 July 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)
