I noticed that recently, you copied part of [[Windows Media Video]] article and created [[Windows Media Video (video compression format)]], creating [[WP:CFORK|a misleading article fork]] that gives the impression that there is also something called "Windows Media Video" file format separate from [[Advanced Systems Format]] format. Unfortunately, not only I do not see a source for this assertion, Windows Media Video's body and Advanced Systems Format article also contends that no such thing exists. Therefore, I performed what I hope is a [[WP:BRD|BRD]] revert. (I believe the magnitude of the problem warranted this act.) But I am more than ready to discuss this issue and see your sources in [[Talk:Windows Media Video|the article talk page]].

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.

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 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]]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC) <!-- Message sent by User:Kudpung@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators/Message_list&oldid=748418714 --> == [[WP:ACE2016|ArbCom Elections 2016]]: Voting now open! == {{Ivmbox|Hello, Thue.

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]]. We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Eleven years on, it doesn't look like this has happened. I intend to redirect Shumov's article to [[Dual_EC_DRBG]] where his work is discussed. Is that okay with you? – [[User:Teratix|Tera]]'''[[User talk:Teratix|tix]]''' [[Special:Contributions/Teratix|₵]] 15:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC) :{{reply to|Teratix}} I agree that he is marginally notable. But I don't see how it would make Wikipedia better to delete the current small page? Just leave it as it is, it is better than nothing. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, we won't run out of paper. People reading about Dual_EC_DRBG here or elsewhere will be curious who he is, will look him up, and will be best served with the current page instead of a redirect. [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 18:38, 30 April 2024 (UTC) ::But surely readers are better served by redirection to a larger article that places Shumov's role in context compared to a poorly referenced stub? If you would really prefer to cover Shumov in an independent article, it will need some better citations. – [[User:Teratix|Tera]]'''[[User talk:Teratix|tix]]''' [[Special:Contributions/Teratix|₵]] 07:08, 1 May 2024 (UTC) :::{{reply to|Teratix}} If people have specifically ended up on the Shumow page, then it is because they specifically want to know about who Shumov is. Redirecting readers to some other article not about Shumov, and which is not written with the goal of saying who Shumov is so readers have to hope they can dig out details about who Shumov is, is obviously not the optimal solution. And the link to Dual_EC_DRBG will be right there in Shumov's article, trivial to click, if people want to know the context about that. Even a small stub is far better for readers than the redirect you are proposing. [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 19:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC) ::::Look, I basically expected one of two responses to this notice: (1) "Yeah sure, I thought he'd get more coverage but that hasn't happened, go ahead and redirect." (2) "No, he's actually a pretty notable figure, the article just needs to be expanded, here's a few links." ::::I didn't really expect an administrator to double down and argue the article in its current state is perfectly acceptable. It exclusively relies on primary sources associated with Shumov himself. – [[User:Teratix|Tera]]'''[[User talk:Teratix|tix]]''' [[Special:Contributions/Teratix|₵]] 14:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC) == Introduction to contentious topics == {{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people''', a topic designated as '''[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>. A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and: *adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia; *comply with all applicable policies and guidelines; *follow editorial and behavioural best practice; *comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and *refrain from gaming the system. <p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'' you may ask them at the [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> — [[User:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">Red-tailed&nbsp;hawk</span>]]&nbsp;_{[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">(nest)</span>]]} 14:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)'
