== Citiogenesis? ==


Hi! I'm currently working on referencing unreferenced ant articles and found [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Iridomyrmex&oldid=121726184#Description this paragraph] you wrote in 2007 (the section has actually never been edited):

:"Unlike other genera in Dolichoderinae, Iridomyrmex ants have the front '''margin of the clypeus above the mandibles highly modified with convex areas towards the sides and a central projection''', which '''varies from strongly to weakly developed'''. '''The compound eyes are relatively high on the head and away from the mandibles'''."

From {{cite journal |last1=Heterick |first1=B. E. |last2=Shattuck |first2=S. |year=2011 |title=Revision of the ant genus ''Iridomyrmex'' (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) |journal=[[Zootaxa]] |volume=2845 |pages=1–174}} (p. 18):

:"The anterior '''margin of the clypeus above the mandibles''' is usually '''highly modified with convex areas towards the sides and a central projection''' ... '''varies from strongly to weakly developed''' ... '''The compound eyes are''' placed '''relatively high on the head and away from the mandibles''' (Shattuck, 1992b, fig. 95).

Shattuck, S.O. (1992b) Generic revision of the ant subfamily Dolichoderinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Sociobiology, 21, 1–181.

My gut reaction was to remove it due to copyvio, but after looking up the Shattuck (1992) article, I'm more inclined to believe that Heterick & Shattuck (2011) used your text (Wikipedia is a free resouce after all) but failed to attribute it (...which is still required). I do not expect you to remember which sources you used when you created the 
''Iridomyrmex'' article 8 years ago, but it is possible that both you and Heterick & Shattuck (2011) used some public domain text. In any case, I'd like to clear this up and either rewrite the section or leave a message on the article's talk page to future editors.

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The LA Wikipedia community has three events in mid-February -- please consider attending!

First, we have a Valentine's Day edit-a-thon appropriately named '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Redondo Loves Wikipedia|Redondo Loves Wikipedia]]''', which will take place at the Redondo Beach Public Library from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, February 14.  Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach!

Second, we have a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women editing session]]''' on Tuesday, February 17 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown.  This series of informal get-togethers is designed to encourage Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome!) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists.

Third, we have an '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB/Unforgetting 8|Unforgetting LA]]''' event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the [[Getty Research Institute]].  Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants! If you'd like to use particular books from GRI's great collection, be sure to email before 2/13 (instructions at event page).

And be sure to check out our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA|main meetup page]], because we already have three SoCal events scheduled for early March! 
 
I hope to see you there! [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) - via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

== Complaint about one user ==

Hi Howcheng!
The user [[User:Samaneh-davoudi-jende]] had written in my talk page the massage very very rude. In addition, he did this with the user name that is very similar to my own user name, but with a different word that is very rude word (jende). I checked his contribution. He made this account just to misbehave me. Please help me! Is it  possible that remove this user? Is it possible that remove the information of the massage in history of my talk page. This user is too rude and he was irreverence to me. Can you check the IP of the user. Thanks![[User:Samaneh-davoudi|Samaneh-davoudi]] ([[User talk:Samaneh-davoudi|talk]]) 06:45, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

== On This Day ==

Hi. Hope all is well in LA. I've been missing the Mediterranean climate ever since I left. I notice that you've been active at OTD so I thought I'd ask you a question. How does a centennial of a birth or death get in the selected anniversaries when OTD seems to require each line is pulled from the "events" section of the corresponding day rather than "births" or "deaths" sections? I have two articles I'd like to get into OTD but I'm not sure the rules allow it. <span class="nowrap" style="font-family:copperplate gothic light;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span> 01:59, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
:Hey Chris, good to hear from you. Birth/death centennials are usually listed with the holidays/observances, like "200th anniversary of the death of Joe Schmoe". Ideally the person listed should be have great significance/notability in their country or field of work (I have been more selective about who gets listed ever since a slew of complaints came in when [[Marshall McLuhan]] was included). Who did you have in mind? <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 06:09, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The LA Wikipedia community has two events in this second half of March -- please consider attending!

First, there is a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/2015 ASECS|memorial edit-a-thon]]''' in honor of the prolific LA Wikipedian [[Adrianne Wadewitz]], which is being held downtown on March 18 (tomorrow!) from noon to 8pm as a part of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies' annual conference.  Please drop by to contribute your own work or teach other users how to write for Wikipedia.

Second, there will be an '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Redondo Loves Wikipedia|event at the Redondo Beach Public Library]]''' (following up on last month's session), in collaboration with the Redondo Beach Historical Society.  Please join us from 10am to noon on Saturday, March 28 at the main branch of the Redondo Beach Public Library!

== Jan van Riebeeck ==

Hi Howcheng. I replaced the image for today's OTD, since it depicted the wrong person! I never knew this, but the image of Jan van Riebeeck from the currency was apparently not really him. I uploaded a cropped version of the accepted portrait, but I've never been involved with main page images, so could you please take a look when you get a chance to make sure that it's all right? I'm not sure how to protect it on Commons, where I'm not an administrator. Normally, I would ask for help before making such a highly visible change, but in this case it seemed important to make the change immediately.-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 13:55, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
:I just checked, and it seems to have been automatically protected since it transcludes to the main page. Everything should be all right, then.-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 14:03, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for catching that. I don't know how long it's been that way. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 17:48, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

==Resurrection of Southern California Task Force==

After moving from Los Angeles County to Kern County to San Luis Obispo County, I am finally realizing that there is life in California outside of L.A. and San Francisco, where I lived and grew up. Oh, I have also lived in San Diego, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento counties, and I earned my undergraduate degree in Riverside County.  I am trying to breathe life into the Southern California Task Force, and I hope you will join me. Could you visit our list of participants [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_California/Southern_California_task_force/Participants at the other end of this link] and update your description of what you are interested in doing for us, assuming that you still want to be in the mix, that is.

In recompense, I will buy you a drink during the Wikipedia Week I am planning for Morro Bay on the Central Coast in July. Yours sincerely, [[User:BeenAroundAWhile|BeenAroundAWhile]] ([[User talk:BeenAroundAWhile|talk]]) 18:13, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

I was reading materials mentioned [[Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries|here]].

Hi, I'm not following ... none of the other still images at [[WP:TFAA]] have captions. (The text stands in for the caption.) - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 17:24, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Dank}} See [[Talk:Main Page]]. People have been proposing solutions for the "image not aligned with text" problem for ITN and OTD for a long time, but it always bogs down in discussion and ends up running out of steam. So I decided to be bold and put in the caption proposal for OTD and TFA for tomorrow as a test (see [[WP:Main Page/Tomorrow]]) to see how it looks. I figured that if someone doesn't take action, the discussion will go nowhere again. If nobody has objections, I'll add to DYK and ITN so that all 4 sections are in sync. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 21:54, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

You are cordinally invited to the '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/5thWiknic|fifth annual Los Angeles Wiknic]]'''!

The Wiknic is a part of the nationwide [[Wikipedia:Wiknic|Great American Wiknic]].  We'll be grilling, getting to know each other better, and building the L.A. Wikipedia community!  The event is tentatively planned for [[Pan-Pacific Park]] ([https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=202916320350074257672.0004c2268fd853df455b5&msa=0&ll=34.073596,-118.355504&spn=0.001926,0.002508 map]) and will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2014 from 9:30am to 4pm or so.  Please [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/5thWiknic|RSVP]] and volunteer to bring food or drinks if possible! 
 
I hope to see you there! [[User:Howcheng|Howcheng]] ([[User talk:Howcheng|talk]]) - via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 19:40, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

== Wiknic ==

The Wiknic was scheduled at the same time as a preexisting Wikipedia meetup in Redondo Beach (see [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA]]).  I could contact the library about moving its event if necessary, but I'm not sure it can be moved given that the library does publicity with paper flyers etc... But on the other hand it looks like the Wiknic has been pretty extensively publicized. Any ideas about what makes most sense now? It seems like a shame to divide our efforts.  [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 02:43, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

::Heh. I'm curious, how long have you been in SoCal?  I think you alienated half of your audience with that photo of meat on a grill.[http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/26/dining/vegan-food-is-in-mainstream-in-southern-california.html?_r=0] A lot of us gave up meat a very long time ago.

::::Help! I'm oppressed! :)  But seriously, I think you ''underestimate'' the percentage of people in the U.S. who are reducing their meat intake.  And when you combine the vegan, vegetarian, and meat reducers (mostly vegetarian, some meat) together, you get about 40% of the American public.  To make a long story short, Los Angeles is generally considered the ''center'' of the vegetarian scene in the United States, so there's actually more people who are trying to reduce or eliminate their meat intake in that part of the country than anywhere else.  In any case, things change.  There was a time in this country, when tobacco smoking was a sign of class, wealth, and prestige.  Obviously, that is no longer true, and tobacco smoking in the U.S. at least, is mostly an activity by the working poor.  The same trend appears to be the case with meat eating.  At one time in the U.S., meat eating was associated with class, wealth, and prestige.  That is no longer true. [[User:Viriditas|Viriditas]] ([[User talk:Viriditas|talk]]) 22:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi!  Have you read my reply at [[Wikipedia talk:In the news#Main Page image caption]]?  (I support the underlying goal, but my current concerns constitute an "objection" to the planned Saturday introduction, with which you appear to be proceeding.)  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 21:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

My apologies for replying at [[Wikipedia talk:In the news]] instead of [[Talk:Main Page]] (where discussion already had occurred).  I overlooked the latter thread, for which I should have thought to check.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 00:36, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

== [[Template:Main page image]] ==

Hello again.  The template appears to have some issues:

# When the "link" parameter duplicates the "image" parameter, this redundancy should have no effect.  Instead, it results in an explicit link to the image description page, which disables the [[Wikipedia:Media Viewer|Media Viewer]].
# When the "width" parameter is left blank ("width = "), the image is displayed at full-width instead of the default 120px.
# The documented "border" parameter doesn't appear to function.

Additionally, the following issues existed specifically at ITN (until I implemented a wrapper, which also corrected the first two issues noted above):

# Blanking the "image" parameter (our normal practice when no suitable image is available) breaks the template's transclusion (by displaying raw code) instead of removing the image and related content.
# The "link" parameter requires the inclusion of "File:" (or "Image:") to link to an image description page, irrespective of whether the prefix was applied to the "image" parameter.  (I realize that this enabled linking to other types of page, but I'm not aware of such usage in any of the relevant main page sections.  ITN's longstanding "link" implementation permitted the prefix's omission, so this change would have been problematic.)

Also, the "size" parameter (which you left in place) doesn't appear to exist in the new template.  (I replaced it with "width".)  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 16:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
:Thanks for checking those. I fixed the link, blank width parameter, and border issues, and those are in [[Template:Main page image/sandbox|the sandbox]] now (see [[User:Howcheng/sandbox]]). However, I was unable to get the blank image parameter to work. I think keeping that wrapper is a good idea for that particular problem. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 17:57, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

=== [[Template:Main page image]] (continued) ===

I noticed that the captions are displayed at 8.5px in MonoBook and 9.5px in Vector, with the latter much more likely to wrap.  Might it be possible to eliminate this disparity?  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 00:12, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|David Levy}} apparently, it's set to be 94% of the regular font size, which is in fact bigger in Vector. Obviously we can set this to a fixed size, but I believe the practice is to set them to relative sizes, so it's always going to be a little bigger in Vector. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 22:22, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
::Do you think that setting it to a fixed size (8.5px, ideally) would be controversial?  I suspect that some of the complaints about "ugliness" stem from the unintended wrapping in Vector (which, frankly, ''is'' ugly much of the time – particularly when a single word appears on a separate line).  For this atypical application, an exception to the usual practice seems appropriate.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 00:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Geisha-fullheight.jpg]]==
[[Image:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Geisha-fullheight.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F2|section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:File:Geisha-fullheight.jpg|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-noimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Stefan2|Stefan2]] ([[User talk:Stefan2|talk]]) 17:16, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Howcheng, we are in the process of renaming Files for Deletion to Files for Discussion. Details are [[Wikipedia talk:Files for discussion#Discussion regarding updating FFD to accommodate the NFCR merge|here]]. I understand that you have a script that some users use to create nominations. This script needs to be updated, and we are ready for you to update it immediately if you are able to do that. [[User:AnomieBOT]] will not longer create Files for Deletion pages on November 17, so your change will need to be done by then.

:Sorry, I'd forgotten about that one. Next year will be 90 (a good round-number) so that will make it a lock. Unfortunately, there have been a number of factors conspiring to keep it out. For example, last there were two US articles that had significant anniversaries, so there was no way a third US one was going to make it. 2012 would have been an ideal year had I remembered it then. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 08:51, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

There are other options to allow this one its first appearance by substituting out the battle from the War of 1812. Also, since the TFP is WWI-related, shouldn't the armistace be pulled?

Re: the topic 'Overhauling this Article' of the talk page of the Battle of Ia Drang article, it was said: ''... I'm overhauling this article to provide a more human side to the battle.

If a 'general reference' does nothing to you, then it is preferable to put a tag 'citation needed' at each end of sentence or paragraph  where needed; that is if you want to induce people to action and add citations.[[User:Tnguyen4321|Tnguyen4321]] ([[User talk:Tnguyen4321|talk]]) 21:42, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

== About [[Torii]] ==

Don't lump Japan in with Korea.
The picture you're taking out persistently is an ordinary Korean(Chinese) gate. 
A [[Torii]] is a perch of a god.
Where at that gate does a god land?
Isn't that prickly?
Korea is based on the civilization of [[Evenks]].
Korea is unrelated to Japan.--[[Special:Contributions/119.104.9.155|119.104.9.155]] ([[User talk:119.104.9.155|talk]]) 22:07, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
:Wow, you really don't know your Asian history. "Korea is unrelated to Japan"?? Then why do Korean and Japanese languages both use Chinese characters? Chinese culture spread through the Korean peninsula into Japan. I added sources that say torii and hongsal-mun may be related. Both are gates that are similar in appearance and separate [[Sacred–profane dichotomy|sacred and profane space]]. If "Major civilizations according to Huntington" explicitly states that the two structures are not related, then we can include that in the article, but you cannot make changes to the article based on your own personal beliefs.

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

I would like to personally invite you to the March edition of the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women meetup]], which will take place on March 15, from 6-10 in the evening. It will occur at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, 2245 E Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90021 (downtown LA -- [https://goo.gl/maps/7NQBg map]). The building has a pink top with old signage for American Accessories, Inc. dba Princess Accessories ([http://www.lacarchive.com/images.pdf Photos] <small>[PDF]</small>). There is on-site parking in the back, which also has an entrance. If you cannot attend in person, you are more than willing to work remotely, as we appreciate all help that you can provide. Finally, [https://www.facebook.com/events/758449097623273/ here is a link] to the Facebook event, in case you want to invite friends, as we are always looking for new editors to help expand coverage of women on Wikipedia! 
 
I hope to see you there! [[User:Cosmicphantom|Cosmicphantom]] ([[User talk:Cosmicphantom|talk]]) - via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 05:54, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Howard! I believe we met at one of the LA wikNics. I've helped launch monthly editathons here in San Diego in partnership with our libraries. I  was on a call a week and a half ago with other user group leaders.

== Laylat al-Qadr ( night of decree ) ==

Hey, [[Laylat al-Qadr|this night]] is observed by the Muslim community every year during [[Ramdan]]. However, Shia and Sunni regard almost different nights as ''Laylat al-Qadr''. According to my findings, Shia Muslims know 19, 21 and 23 of Ramadan night as the ''Qadr'' night and believe that 23rd is more probable, while sunnis know 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 as the Qadr night and believe that 27th of Ramadan is more probable. How can we have this observance? '''''My suggestion''''': As 23rd is common in both sect, we can have it on that night.

:Basically I was trying to get a wider range of dates. The 1991 blurb has priority (25th anniversary), so the 1989 one is too close. Then it was a matter of choosing between 1953 and 1960, and Saff V. asked to include the 1953 one (above), so that's why I took out 1960. As for the note, we should put that on the talk page. But thank you for asking, and thank you for your edits. They do save me a bit of time. :) <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 16:02, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::Now the edit makes sense to me, thanks to your explanation. You're welcome, editing OTD is enjoyable although I had to do the edits one day ahead. Anyway, I put that note in the staging area, since I had seen such a thing before (I can't remember where) and I think this way the user may notice the note when updating the blurbs. Btw, did you forget to put the "2016 notes" on the [[Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/August 19|talk page]]? --[[User:Mhhossein|<span style="font-family:Aharoni"><span style="color:#002E63">M</span><span style="color:#2E5894">h</span><span style="color:#318CE7">hossein</span></span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Mhhossein|<span style="color:#056608">'''talk'''</span>]]</sup> 05:36, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries/August_24&diff=735805147&oldid=735804900 this edit], you removed the blurb containing the emboldened [[Mamluk Sultanate (Cairo)]] from the list and emboldened [[Battle of Marj Dabiq]] instead.

:One of the guidelines is that the fact in the blurb should be highly relevant to the article in bold. So in that case, the battle is the obvious article to be bold, but the battle is relatively unimportant when considering the entire history of the sultanate. So it doesn't make sense to have the sultanate be the "featured" article for the blurb.

== aug 19 On This Day inaccurate, admin restricted ==

The August 19th Selected_anniversaries/August has an inaccuracy that it seems that you added.  It is still transcluded with main/yesterday so only admins can edit it.  It says that the CIA coup restored the "absolute monarchy" of the shah.  Iran, in fact, was under a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute monarchy, (Iran Under the Ayatollahs - Dilip Hiro https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1135043817) not to mention that the whole thing, as was previously recognized, seems quite the npov violation.  Mosaddegh, at that point, was a military dictator who was arresting opposing members of parliament after he dismissed parliament before it succumbed to corruption by democracy.  https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries/August_19&diff=445536110&oldid=443812629 [[User:TeeTylerToe|TeeTylerToe]] ([[User talk:TeeTylerToe|talk]]) 17:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Howcheng. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|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 [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|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, [[WP:ECP2016|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:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Asking for a favor from you ==

Greetings, Howcheng.

Since I know you tend to surf around on some of the Jewish holidays pages during this time of year, I wonder if I can ask the following of you:
# Like some others, would you please keep an eye on the pages while many of us are offline during the holidays?
# (Specific request to you:) Would you mind going to the page [[Hebrew calendar]] some time after 00:00 UTC on Monday, October 3 and to refresh the cache/reload the page there? Entirely aside from the "today is" template sitting on that page, there is actually now body text in the lede of that article that is designed to update each year on Rosh Hashanah to reflect the starting and ending dates of the Jewish year.  But I'm not sure if that body text will automatically appear for people unless the cache is refreshed, and I (the person who wrote the code, and who otherwise would take care of it) will be off-wiki until nightfall EDT on Tuesday, October 4.  So if you don't mind doing that, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. [[User:StevenJ81|StevenJ81]] ([[User talk:StevenJ81|talk]]) 13:31, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the work on keeping that up to date. But shouldn't [[Last use of capital punishment in Spain|this]] article be in the eligible (but unused) category?

== Help with OtD ==

Hi Howcheng,

If I wanted to help out with OTD, what would be the best way to do so without (a) stepping on your toes, and (b) doubling up on the same work? This is brought on by a thread on [[Talk:Main Page]], where there is some criticism for not having [[Remembrance Day]] on the OTD page today. I imagine if I did as much as I'm willing/able, I'd be able to put in about 3% of the work you do, but that's 3% you don't have to do. --[[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 19:47, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
:{{ping|Floquenbeam}} I suppose if the goal is avoid this type of criticism in the future, the thing to do would be make sure that the upcoming holiday articles are all in good shape. I don't do that much work in repairing articles that are no longer eligible, so that would be good to do. For holidays that aren't on the Gregorian calendar, I sometimes have to find the dates for the current year, so that would be helpful as well. {{user|Mhhossein}} helps out when he can by vetting the articles in the staging area to see if they are still eligible this year. The biggest help would be to make ineligible articles eligible again, but that's obviously far more work than could be expected of anyone. Thanks. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">—'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]'''  <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 05:35, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|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 [[Special:Preferences|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 [[Help:Two-factor authentication|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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''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 [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|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 [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|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]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello my friend! 2016 has been a crazzzzzy year. And 2017?! Wow... But what you do makes a huge difference - you are curating and teaching so many millions of people about so many amazing moments in history!  Thank you for everything you do here and beyond - you deserve lots of warm fuzzies!
