Hi,

When blocking this IP address, did you happen to see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A216.109.5.2 the block log]? I've found that it's fairly common practice for admins to escalate block durations for long-term IP vandals overtime (schools, shared IPs, etc.). In general, short blocks for these types of IPs don't stop the vandalism for very long and they oftentimes quickly resume vandalizing, so I'm not sure if a short 31 hour block will stop them for long. Thank you. [[Special:Contributions/207.255.138.175|207.255.138.175]] ([[User talk:207.255.138.175|talk]]) 19:58, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked [[User:Weybridgeguy]] ==

Hello. You blocked the user for disruptive editing on [[Chera dynasty]], where they were tag-teaming with an IP that geolocated to the same area (London, UK) and obviously was the same person, and judging by ''Autoblock #7583765'' they tried to pull the same trick again, i.e. edit while logged out, within seconds of getting blocked... -&nbsp;'''Tom'''&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User:Thomas.W|Thomas.W]] [[User talk:Thomas.W|'''''<sup><small> talk</small></sup>''''']] 21:21, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

== About your Articles ==


Hi John
How are you?
I have been reading your articles I found it very useful and interesting but at the end of that article about waqar zaka is not true at all. He is a celebrity of Pakistan. I personally know him very well. He is always trying to help poor people through charity programs and he also help Syrian people to build there house, schools and hospitals. So please I request you to remove that particular portion of article.
I'll be very thankful to you.

{{Noping|The Rambling Man}} ...is continuing the edit war at [[WP:RY]]. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 21:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
:No, it's a different content altogether, and Rubin is once again abusing his position as an admin to threaten me. It's a very straightforward discussion, by the way, and something which it seems that regulars at RY are keen to hide, lack of quality. By the way, Rubin, I told you to not ping me, this did, so please, as an admin, learn how to do this properly. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] ([[User talk:The Rambling Man|talk]]) 21:17, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
::It's on the same subject. He's editing [[WP:RY]] in an attempt to make it absurd, possibly so that it could be modified to support his edits to [[2017]]. (This '''is''' assuming good faith. He believes the guideline to be absurd, so he wants to make it clear that it is absurd.) — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 21:21, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
:::Rubin, you're coming close to recall now, so I'd advise you to pack it in. The fact that you allow regular RY editors to modify this "guideline" yet not me is beyond reproach, you're plumbing the depths and if you continue, I'll seek your desysop. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] ([[User talk:The Rambling Man|talk]]) 21:25, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
:::To clarify, you say I'm trying to make the guidelines "absurd" yet they already are "absurd" but you don't want them to be honestly represented to the community and our readers as "absurd"? I have one word for that, can you guess? [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] ([[User talk:The Rambling Man|talk]]) 21:37, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
::::Again, you have misunderstood what seems to ME to be a clear statement. I do not believe the guideline to be absurd. I believe that you believe the guideline to be absurd, so your attempt to make it more absurd is understandable, although a good example of [[WP:GAME]]. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 05:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
:::::I'm afraid you couldn't be more wrong and your abuse of position is ever more evident. I assumed that RY, like most other such projects, would apply quality thresholds, but that isn't true soon I stated it explicitly. You reverted me me more threats yet you happily left a reinstated version from one of the RY regulars. Despicable. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] ([[User talk:The Rambling Man|talk]]) 07:00, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
:::::{{U|Arthur Rubin}} I'm waiting for your consistent approach and your reversion of the re-addition of a quality section at this so-called "guideline" by one of the project regulars, along with appropriate warnings? Of course you treat us all equally, right? [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] ([[User talk:The Rambling Man|talk]]) 19:04, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
::::::This is a proper forum to discuss your edit warring, as this edit closed the edit warring report about [[2017]]. It is not a proper forum to discuss [[WP:RY]] in general. — [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] [[User talk:Arthur Rubin|(talk)]] 19:17, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

== Invitation to Admin confidence survey ==

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

<big>To take the survey sign up '''[[en:Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Administrator confidence survey|here]]''' and we will send you a link to the form.</big>

We really appreciate your input!

<small>Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all [[en:Wikipedia:Mass message senders|massmessage mailings]] from the Anti-harassment tools team. </small>

== Rollback authority related to erstwhile princely state ==

I am approaching you inline to the above stated subject. I see that people here with vested interest are promoting falsehood with improper and no citation especially related to erstwhile.princely states of India.

This has occured two days ago. Therefore I would like to request some access to stop vandalism by some editors who became editors for their vested interest snd have no value attach with what they utter.

== ANI Experiences survey ==

The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.

The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

*https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/2017_AN/Incidents_Survey_Privacy_Statement

If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.

; Why have I received this message?
: All administrators are receiving it.

; 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.

; 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.

; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].

== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==

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 [[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.

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, -[[User:Cameron11598|Cameron11598]] 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

In 2007, you deleted [[User:Tellyaddict/userbox/snowmanbuilding]] as "not needed", yet it still has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User:Tellyaddict/userbox/snowmanbuilding six transclusions]. Can you elaborate on the reason for deletion? –&nbsp;<kbd>[[User:voidxor|<span style="color: #00F">void</span>]][[User talk:voidxor|<span style="color: #000">xor</span>]]</kbd> 00:55, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

: The page name alone explains. -- [[User talk:John Reaves|John Reaves]] 23:02, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Not really. I'm guessing the content was something along the lines of, "This user likes building snowmen." There's actually very wide latitude for [[Wikipedia:Userboxes#Content examples|what's allowed in userboxes]], especially if they're in user space. –&nbsp;<kbd>[[User:voidxor|<span style="color: #00F">void</span>]][[User talk:voidxor|<span style="color: #000">xor</span>]]</kbd> 18:53, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Make an encyclopedia. Q.E.D. (don’t worry about abject nonsense) -- [[User talk:John Reaves|John Reaves]] 06:10, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Fuck your userboxes. Do something useful -- [[User talk:John Reaves|John Reaves]] 06:12, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
