== [[Luxembourg Leaks]] ==
[[File:Ambox notice.svg|link=|25px|alt=Information icon]] There is currently a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. <!--Template:ANI-notice--> Thank you. [[User:Medeis|μηδείς]] ([[User talk:Medeis|talk]]) 00:22, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
== Talk? ==
I am curious why, as an admin, it behooves you to edit war on an article at AdF and not to participate in the discussion at the [[Luxembourg Leaks]] talk page. I am also curious why you have been recruited above and find it proper to act as you have. [[User:Medeis|μηδείς]] ([[User talk:Medeis|talk]]) 01:45, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
:Recruited? I have not participated in the ITN discussion to which you say I was recruited above. [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 02:05, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

== DDR5 SDRAM ==
You deleted DDR5 SDRAM. Modules exist. I am currently studying them to get a better understanding of wavelet transform. Just FYI. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/209.197.6.134|209.197.6.134]] ([[User talk:209.197.6.134|talk]]) 18:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Whatever does a general-purpose SDRAM standard have to do with wavelet transforms? Ate you sure you are not thinking about [[GDDR5]], which is indeed something you would use for wevelet transforms on a GPU? [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 01:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
== Windows Media Video (video compression format) ==
Hey, Thue. 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]].

== Hjælperen - Slaget på Reden ==
Hej Thue,
Jeg sidder og læser en Nelson biografi (Sugden) og faldt over en ikke særligt rosende omtale af Fregatten Hjælperen (Slaget på Reden). Jeg har rettet typen på skibet (til defensionsfregat) men har ikke skrevet noget om kaptajn eller besætning - endnu. Men kunne det ikke være interessant at tilføje navnene på de danskere, som Sugden nævner med navn? Flertallet rosende, Lillienschiold knapt så meget...

== Links to Wikia ==
Hi Thue, I reverted your addition of the link to the SC2 Wikia wiki on the article on LotV. Generally, external links to open wikis are discouraged by [[WP:ELNO|our external links policy]] (under #12). I understand your sentiment, and the SC2 wiki tends to be fairly stable, but precedent has it that it's an external link we don't use. All the best, [[User:Martijn Hoekstra|Martijn Hoekstra]] ([[User talk:Martijn Hoekstra|talk]]) 18:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
== Theories ==
Theories of this kind are even less acceptable on Wikipedia than rumors: we don't report speculation, particularly if they haven't been picked up in multiple sources. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to make guesses and post them in case they're true . You're experienced enough to know that this sort of thing should never be reported in Wikipedia's voice in any case. Please self-revert, or at least please use the talkpage to discuss this. '''<span style="font-family:Arial;">[[User:Acroterion|<span style="color:black;">Acroterion</span>]] <small>[[User talk:Acroterion|<span style="color:gray;">(talk)</span>]]</small></span>''' 13:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Acroterion}} I am experienced enough that theories do have their place here. You are talking complete nonsense, and I strongly question your competence. Are you going to delete the our article about the Theory of Gravity next? [[User:Thue|Thue]] ([[User talk:Thue|talk]]) 19:13, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
==Disambiguation link notification for May 5==
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Charles Stross]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[The Merchants' War]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

Hi Thue. Could you please remove the wikilinks for all of the [[Axact]] websites that do not already have Wikipedia articles? These are almost certainly non-notable. --[[User:DrFleischman|Dr. Fleischman]] ([[User talk:DrFleischman|talk]]) 20:44, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

== Edit war warning ==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|left|alt=|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]  according to the reverts you have made on [[:Heroin]]. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus-building in talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[Wikipedia:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]] rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.<br>
Please be particularly aware that [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|Wikipedia's policy on edit warring]] states:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'''.
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]].

== Replaceable fair use File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
# Go to [[:File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text <code><nowiki>{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}</nowiki></code> '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Thue&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

A tag has been placed on [[:Damco]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations]] for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Damco|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]].

== Extended confirmed protection ==
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Thue. 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. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== 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]]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I got interested in security proofs of the four DRBGs in this standard, and I found security proofs of Hash_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG and a paper proving that there is an error in the assumptions that were used to design CTR_DRBG that causes its security level to be limited by the underlying block cipher's block size which the designers failed to consider.

; 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]] 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
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.
Thank you.

== [[Dan Shumow]] courtesy notice ==
Hello Thue, back in 2013 you created this "quick article", I presume in anticipation more coverage of Shumow would emerge because of Snowden's revelations. 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)' |

== Windows Media Video (video compression format) ==
Hey, Thue. 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]].

Hej Thue,
Jeg sidder og læser en Nelson biografi (Sugden) og faldt over en ikke særligt rosende omtale af Fregatten Hjælperen (Slaget på Reden). Jeg har rettet typen på skibet (til defensionsfregat) men har ikke skrevet noget om kaptajn eller besætning - endnu. Men kunne det ikke være interessant at tilføje navnene på de danskere, som Sugden nævner med navn? Flertallet rosende, Lillienschiold knapt så meget...

== Replaceable fair use File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
# Go to [[:File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text <code><nowiki>{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}</nowiki></code> '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Thue&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

A tag has been placed on [[:Damco]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations]] for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Damco|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]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Atlantic306|Atlantic306]] ([[User talk:Atlantic306|talk]]) 23:06, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
== Extended confirmed protection ==
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Thue. 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. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== 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]]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I got interested in security proofs of the four DRBGs in this standard, and I found security proofs of Hash_DRBG and HMAC_DRBG and a paper proving that there is an error in the assumptions that were used to design CTR_DRBG that causes its security level to be limited by the underlying block cipher's block size which the designers failed to consider.

; 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]] 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
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.
Thank you.

== [[Dan Shumow]] courtesy notice ==
Hello Thue, back in 2013 you created this "quick article", I presume in anticipation more coverage of Shumow would emerge because of Snowden's revelations. 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.

== Windows Media Video (video compression format) ==
Hey, Thue.

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]].

Hej Thue,
Jeg sidder og læser en Nelson biografi (Sugden) og faldt over en ikke særligt rosende omtale af Fregatten Hjælperen (Slaget på Reden). Jeg har rettet typen på skibet (til defensionsfregat) men har ikke skrevet noget om kaptajn eller besætning - endnu. Men kunne det ikke være interessant at tilføje navnene på de danskere, som Sugden nævner med navn? Flertallet rosende, Lillienschiold knapt så meget...

== Replaceable fair use File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
# Go to [[:File:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text <code><nowiki>{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}</nowiki></code> '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown Turkey claim.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=Thue&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== Extended confirmed protection ==
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Thue. 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. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== 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]]) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

; 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]] 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)</small>

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
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.
Thank you.

== [[Draft:Skyward Flight|Skyward Flight]] moved to draftspace ==
An article you recently created, [[Draft:Skyward Flight|Skyward Flight]], is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent sources]]. <small>([[WP:42|?]])</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed ([[WP:V|verifiability]] is of [[WP:5|central importance]] on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to [[Wikipedia:Draftspace|draftspace]] (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

::: The whole article is unreferenced therefore unverified. --[[User:John B123|John B123]] ([[User talk:John B123|talk]]) 19:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
::::{{ping|John B123}} It is meaningless to say that "The whole article is unreferenced therefore unverified". For example [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]] says "All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports" - but you or anybody else have not challenged any material in the article. Hence the article does not fail [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]. Please point out something you some fact think should be referenced, or stop claiming the article is unverified.

== [[Dan Shumow]] courtesy notice ==
Hello Thue, back in 2013 you created this "quick article", I presume in anticipation more coverage of Shumow would emerge because of Snowden's revelations. 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 hawk</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">(nest)</span>]]</sub> 14:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)' |
