Redirects

On your user/talk pages on enWS, the redirects don't work because of the parentheses, you have to remove them for it to work. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 12:18, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Omegatron. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 03:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Nomination of Social_utility_efficiency for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Social_utility_efficiency, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Social utility efficiency until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

To customise your preferences for automated AfD notifications for articles to which you've significantly contributed (or to opt-out entirely), please visit the configuration page. Delivered by SDZeroBot (talk) 01:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Affinepplan, why not spend your time creating content instead of destroying it? 😑 — Omegatron (talk) 15:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please see WP:Content removal

the deletion of unsourced, inaccurate, POV, or in this case irrelevant content is a productive contribution to Wikipedia just as creation is. Affinepplan (talk) 15:54, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How are concepts from social choice theory not relevant to include in an encyclopedia? — Omegatron (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please read WP:Notability. the only reliable source discussing this metric in detail is a single publication by the progenitor from several decades ago. Affinepplan (talk) 16:13, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's obviously not true; there are numerous references in academic literature. What's your motivation for trying to delete this? — Omegatron (talk) 03:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

> there are numerous references in academic literature

there are not. Affinepplan (talk) 04:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there are plenty for notability; I've added a list to the AfD. Why are you trying to delete this? — Omegatron (talk) 00:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

please see my response to that list.

> Why are you trying to delete this?

because it fails WP:Notability Affinepplan (talk) 00:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:04, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-; Why have I received this message?
-: All administrators are receiving it.
+Hello,
-; What prompted you to send this message?
-: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.  Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.
+The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
-; What do I need to do?
-: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
-:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
-:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
-:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.
+You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
-; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
-: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].
-|}</div>

+The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

-== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==
+Kind Regards,
-ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
+[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
-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 [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|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.
