IP blockRegarding User_talk:68.255.221.222, was there something I missed? They made edits they apparently thought were helpful, I showed them the guideline that said they weren't, and they haven't edited since. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:50, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

You corrected my glitch so I am going to back correct what I think is yours. Together maybe we'll wend our way to the right answer. I re-read the OS prep. They are using 2 equiv KSH per RCOCl. So my guess is the following:
This eq seems to make sense, but I remain open to further discussion.--Smokefoot (talk) 23:20, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 20Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thiocarboxylic acid, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nitro. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I think adding that word is subjective and should be removed. Ill leave it you discretion though. thank Trivnew Extended confirmed protectionHello, DMacks. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available. Recent changes

How can I tell how long that's for? Because whether or not it gets semiprotected, I'd like to request a lengthening of the pending-changes lock too. RunnyAmiga ※ talk 23:53, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
Regarding my Wikipedia edits.I understand, I should have gathered proof before editing. It is reasonable that you reverted my edits. Singkiring57 (talk) 08:00, 2 October 2016 (UTC) I completely agree with your PROD. Note also that everything except the lede is a verbatim copy from various team documents. The article creator has made numerous dump-and-run articles so I doubt he'll be back to address problems. Meters (talk) 22:04, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Based on their editing patterns (SEPTA plus old TV episodes) and previous socking from similar IPs, it's likely they're a block-evading sock of User:Oanabay04.

Doug Weller talk 20:41, 10 November 2016 (UTC) Two-Factor Authentication now available for adminsHello, 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 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.

Good call. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC) Need your help DMacks!Hello DMacks, I'm here on your talk-page once again. I need your help, actually, I wanted to write an article on Sandeep Maheshwari, he's an Indian entrepreneur, author and a motivational speaker. He is widely known for his motivation seminars and also is the founder of a website called ImagesBazaar which has the largest collection of Indian images & videos. I'm 101% sure that he is a notable figure (a simple Google Search might help). But it seems like someone revoked any article by this name to be rewritten, I have already requested it at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biography/By nationality tho it's very unlikely that someone would write one. Since you're the only administrator I know who can help me, is it possible for you to write an article on Sandeep Maheshwari?

I made good faith effort to add valid content to the page and you worked diligently to keep it off the page because of no citation. News flash 99% of that page is uncited but accurate because people like me actually try to contribute, while people like you maintain the poor reputation Wikipedia's editing class has created for itself. There is no citation available for lots of valid factual information, Wikipedia would be half of what it is if it only allowed cited information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1000:B103:9CDF:1982:F988:2F70:3BD6 (talk) 20:31, 29 November 2016 (UTC) Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community.

Unblock request on holdThere is an unblock request at User talk:107.77.202.188 for a year-long block on a /24 range, which you placed for block evasion. There is a very large number of edits from the range, and looking at those from September, when you placed the block, I see that they are on numerous different topics, with no evident common connecting theme, so that it seems there has been a large number of different editors, with no one of them dominating the editing history. I can't see anything in your editing round about that period which gives any clue as to what block was being evaded, but even if a block was evaded, blocking such a large number of different editors for as long as a year to stop one person who does not appear to have been responsible for a significant proportion of the editors seems doubtful. If things really are as they look to me, then I think the block should be lifted, but obviously you may know things that aren't visible to me, which justify the block, so I will be grateful if you can let me know your thoughts on the matter.
