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 Newyorkbrad/Archive/2016.
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 However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less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)
Thank you
I know you get a fair amount of talk page kudos and various other friendly wikilove.
But I just wanted to let you know how sincerely it is appreciated that you are running for arbcom again.
This isn't to slight any of the other worthy candidates, just that I know you had said you were considering not going back again.
And while I understand it is a thankless job. I really do appreciate that you do it.
My heartfelt sincere thanks. - jc37 23:10, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks very much. Best regards Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
ACE Template
"<br /><br />" gives you two newlines, creating a single empty line between paragraphs. Add more for more lines. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 08:48, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- That worked well. Thank you. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
My solution to the New York problem is up for discussion on the Community Wishlist
FYI, I quoted you in my proposal. See m:2016 Community Wishlist Survey/Categories/Editing#Administrator- and Page mover-editable display titles, that make more than cosmetic changes to the title.
Best of luck in your return to ArbCom. You'll have my full support. wbm1058 (talk) 16:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Saturday December 3: Contemporary Chinese Art Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim
| Saturday December 3: Contemporary Chinese Art Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim | |
|---|---|
 On Saturday December 3, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fifth Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon—to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from Greater China. The event will cap off Wikipedia Asian Month, an online campaign dedicated to augmenting Asian content on Wikipedia throughout November. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition Tales of Our Time following the event. The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, and Art+Feminism.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 09:46, 23 November 2016 (UTC) | |

Thank you very much. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sometimes I think simple good faith would solve "problems". I was nicely reminded that today is the day of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, - hoping for harmony ;) - I miss Dreadstar. - Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

- Happy Thanksgiving! Took a picture of pumpkins and wrote an article called Danke ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:18, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
