Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1991 Full Members Cup Final, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Andy Thorn and Geoff Thomas. 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.

"rem"

What does "rem" mean in the following context—"rem strange date"? Is it an abbreviation or acronym? Plankton55 (talk) 15:34, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

De Rosee Sa

Hi there, I have not finished editing the page yet. The project I named "The Little Hall" was designed around the writings of Roald Dahl, who based his book "Matilda" on the school. The practice were shortlisted for Building Design's Young Architect of the Year Award this year which is also a significant accolade for a small practice. Perhaps you can reconsider? Thank you!

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Hiding. 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:

• 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 a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

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 right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Hiding.

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. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

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.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MacGyver the Lizard

I'm not sure how I ended up reading a month's-old AfD for an internet lizard, but I wanted to let you know that I think you did a wonderful job on the explanation for the close. Joyous! | Talk 22:21, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

BFI may not be reliable

I found some evidence that BFI may not be a reliable source.

For sound engineer Ken Scrivener, it says on BFI that he was born in Bedfordshire, which is in the UK (http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b9fe87e60). On the other hand, another source gives his place of birth as India (http://www.amps.net/media/files/library/journals/52_august2006.pdf—scroll down to page 31). And the Google Feedback "infobox" thing, as well as IMDb, says that Scrivener was born in Haifa, Israel. This shows that BFI may not be that accurate/reliable, what do you think?
