This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:28, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Hello. What could be discussed with accounts that just edit to erase referenced content and with this "SPA" characteristics (https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/en/Special:Contributions/Nikrazu)/[1]? These editions seems like a try to play with the rules to don't allow scholary referenced content. How could the referenced content be added? --Krapulat (talk) 02:58, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for Knight Lore, with a legacy of "one of anecdote after vivid anecdote of what it was like to experience the game for the first time. Retro Gamer described many future developers' first experiences with Knight Lore as "unforgettable", on par with playing Space Harrier (1985), Wolfenstein 3D (1992), and Super Mario 64 (1996) for the first time (if that helps with perspective, as it did for me). Knight Lore is a real curio for those unfamiliar with its impact—its (now old in video game terms) release was more or less confined to the ZX Spectrum console community in the UK—but the game's footprint remains indelible. Knight Lore popularized isomorphic 3D graphics, which eventually made their way abroad, and changed the face of the Speccy, though one could argue that its developer was doing that already. It is sufficient to say that Knight Lore changed many lives, future developers and regular consumers alike. Indeed, the developers later stated that they predicted this and held the game's release back for many months in anticipation of how its release would affect the market—which is itself a wild declaration."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Czar. Planning on bringing back the newsletter and I got a couple of people interested in collaborating. Was wondering if you wanted to partake. GamerPro64 02:12, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just posting re: your deletion of the 'International of Anarchist Federations' page. I disagree with this decision as it leaves a blank hole in the English language wiki, where other language wikipedias still include it. While I respect the need for verifiable secondary sources, disregarding sources in other languages for an article about an International organization isn't constructive.
I would like to restore the page, but would appreciate your thoughts on doing so first, in order to ensure it's a well-sourced entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grnrchst (talk • contribs) 09:57, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have semi-protected your user talk page on Wikinews for 1 month; we've been getting a lot of offensive vandalism from anons on Wikinews lately and I protected it as a courtesy. Let me know if you'd rather have your page unprotected. —mikemoral (talk) 08:23, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good evening Czar,
I can see you have declined the speedy deletion of this article (16:31, July 28, 2019). It's been tagged for speedy deletion again (00:33, July 29, 2019).
@Praxidicae and Vinegarymass911: I agree that it was substantially different to the deleted versions of the article. I also agree that it may require a second AfD, and will decline the WP:G4 very soon. Your thoughts about this?

User:Born2cycle has asked for a deletion review of Kaitlynn Carter. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Cryptic 23:05, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article Noam Chomsky you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Noam Chomsky for issues which need to be addressed.

Czar, you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Couvrette (2nd nomination) (nominated by ThatMontrealIP) as "delete".

On 27 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ryan Ashley Malarkey, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ryan Ashley Malarkey is the only woman to win Ink Master in its first eleven seasons? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ryan Ashley Malarkey. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ryan Ashley Malarkey), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
