To continue your brilliant exercise in [[toilet paper orientation|orientation]] - take a look if you would at [[handing]] (no, it's not some perversion, it's absolutely safe for work.

== Block of [[User:Tcshasaposse]] ==
Some time ago you have blocked [[User:Tcshasaposse]] due to a conflict with the [[WP:NOSHARE]] policy. I wonder whether this issue could be solved in the positive since these user(s)' additions were quite helpful in the coverage of complexity-theoretic topics. It would have been a serious loss in qualified input if we'd just told them to go away. Unfortunately, the block entry points to the user talk page, which has been deleted. Can you provide some insight into this? [[User:Nageh|Nageh]] ([[User talk:Nageh|talk]]) 12:49, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
:Sure! The user talk page was apparently deleted as part of a now-defunct process; see [[:Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages]] and [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_July_12#Category:Temporary_Wikipedian_userpages]].

::Thanks a lot for the reply! I wonder though whether violating [[WP:NOSHARE]] was such a serious concern that the account had to be blocked.

== Opinion on APG III ==
Hi Melchoir,
First of all, I am flattered by your curiosity with my opinion on APG III system.
As always I say: '''classifications are mere suggestions''', with weak and strong points.
I was against APG I system by its tendency in to found only in researches in the chloroplast genoma and to do drastic changes in the Angiosperm families; and against APG II system by the informality of taxa (bracket taxa, plain clades, etc) and in a general way by its intransigence in accepting paraphyletic groups as being natural groups (and even polyphyletic, in my opinion: in essence ''all'' taxa are polyphyletic ones), because I see them it taxa as a structure more than three-dimensional, an element can in your two-dimensionality to seem not to have phylogenetic relationship with another, but arranged (graphically, like a reticular system) of another way like the three-dimensional manner this would be evident.
Other critic is that APG always tended to "lumping" taxa in entities unprovided morphological characteristics clear that distinguished them (i. e., the synapomorphies) turning them metaphysical "entities" without the necessary practicability to work with the real biodiversity.
But I have faith that APG in its version III made a very positive effort to improve the acceptance of its schema in a more universal way. I see this version as a "ripening".

Hi
I noticed you were involved with the person who started the page, indeed some dialogue ensued between the two of you.
It appears that there may have been a little possibility of COI, as well as the copyright issue currently raised there. I do not know if there was any discussion over those two matters when the page was being created but, as the Wikipage was after the posted date on the website, you may want to weigh in on any discussions.
Thanks [[User:Chaosdruid|Chaosdruid]] ([[User talk:Chaosdruid|talk]]) 09:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for the notification! Although there's a clear case of COI, I think the article isn't too promotional; it would be easier to clean it up than to delete it and start over, if that were the only problem. However, the copyright issue is thornier. [[User:Juliakeck]] might be the copyright holder, but she might not be aware of our free licensing. I'll run the article through the process. [[User:Melchoir|Melchoir]] ([[User talk:Melchoir#top|talk]]) 08:25, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
::I figured that any discussions about Juliakeck sending a note from the original website might receive a more favourable response if it came from you than someone they have not dealt with before (assuming they are the same Juliak Keck!).

I was trying to clean things up prior this article being featured when I noticed that the subfamily showed three species and the genus article did not exist. So I added the genus article and a species stub for ''C. croesus'' to get rid of the red links. Turns out it wasn't that simple. There may be two species or many more. I see someone changed ''C. riphearia'' to ''C. prometheus'' so I don't know the exact number of species in the genus or which are synonyms. Perhaps the wording should be changed to be a little vague until it is established exactly which are the correct members of the genus. I will do some additional checking myself. Cheers.

But I cannot find any log or other record of the 'thank' so am all at a loss. Do you know if there is any log where I can see which edit this "thanks" was for?

== Main Page appearance: Parity of zero ==
This is a note to let the main editors of [[Parity of zero]] know that the article will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|today's featured article]] on August 29, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director {{user|Raul654}} or one of his delegates ({{user|Dabomb87}}, {{user|Gimmetoo}}, and {{user|Bencherlite}}), or start a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests]]. You can view the TFA blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 29, 2013]]. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions]]. The blurb as it stands now is below:
<blockquote>
<div style="float: left; margin: 0.5em 0.9em 0.4em 0;">[[File:Scale of justice 2.svg|100px|A balance scale containing zero objects, divided into two equal groups]]</div>
'''[[Parity of zero|Zero is an even number]]'''. In other words, [[0 (number)|zero]]'s ''[[parity (mathematics)|parity]]''—the quality of an [[integer]] being even or odd—is even. It fits the definition of "even" as an integer [[multiple (mathematics)|multiple]] of [[2 (number)|2]], namely {{nowrap|0 × 2}}. As a result, zero has all the properties of even numbers: 0 is [[divisible]] by 2, 0 is surrounded on both sides by odd numbers, 0 is the [[addition|sum]] of an integer (0) with itself, and a set of 0 objects can be split into two equal sets ''(example pictured)''. Zero is the additive [[identity element]] of the [[group (mathematics)|group]] of even integers, and it is the starting case from which other even [[natural number]]s are [[recursive definition|recursively defined]]. Applications of this recursion from [[graph theory]] to [[computational geometry]] rely on zero being even. Among the general public, the parity of zero can be a source of confusion. In [[reaction time]] experiments, most people are slower to identify 0 as even than 2, 4, 6, or 8. Some students of mathematics—and some teachers—think that zero is odd, or both even and odd, or neither. Researchers in [[mathematics education]] propose that these misconceptions can become learning opportunities. Studying equalities like {{nowrap|1=0 × 2 = 0}} can address students' doubts about calling 0 a [[number]] and using it in [[arithmetic]]. {{TFAFULL|Parity of zero}}

Thanks for your comments at [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Basic_bitch]]. I'm obviously somewhat biased since I created the article ;) but I appreciate your very level-headed arguments against the WP:NEO/WP:WINAD stuff. Frankly, I was waiting for the inevitable deletion nom as soon as I moved the draft into the article namespace, but I was lax in checking my watchlist and missed the discussion (it seems folks aren't taking [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#After_nominating:_Notify_interested_projects_and_editors|Wikietiquette]] seriously these days...).

==[[Judith Clegg]] on main page==
I admit that I am not familiar with computer terminology, and I appreciate your expertise in the matter. But changing the hook, while on the main page, to suggest that her father encouraged her to take up [[computer programming]] at the age of 7 is a bit of a stretch. It would have been better to make a piped link to [[computer programming]] and call it what the source did: "how to code".
:... that the father of British [[Management consulting|strategy consultant]] and tech entrepreneur '''[[Judith Clegg]]''' encouraged her to learn [[Computer programming|how to code]] when she was 7 or 8 years old? [[User:Yoninah|Yoninah]] ([[User talk:Yoninah|talk]]) 09:19, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

== [[Polymath project]] request ==
There has been another [http://polymathprojects.org/2015/12/28/polymath-proposal-explaining-identities-for-irreducible-polynomials/ polymath project solved]! Can you add this information to the "Problem solved" section of the article please? I think it can go under the heading of "Polymath proposal problem" under "Problem solved" section. This problem was going to become a polymath project, but someone else proved it so quickly before it becoming a polymath project (with number). However, I think it is another achievement worth mentioning in the article. Due to my limited mathematics background, I don't think I'm able to write about it as well as someone like you. Thank you!

== Extended confirmed protection ==
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Melchoir. 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]].

== 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]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

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!

== 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.

In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:pepperbeast|<strong><span style="font-family: 'Segoe Script';"><span style="color: #a10;">Pepper</span><span style="color: #0c1;">Beast</span></span></strong>]] [[User talk:pepperbeast|<span style="color: #200">(talk)</span>]] 14:49, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

==Your draft article, [[User:Melchoir/Equidissection]]==
[[File:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
Hello, Melchoir. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|draft]] page you started, "[[User:Melchoir/Equidissection|Equidissection]]".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|User:Melchoir/Equidissection|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! <!-- Template:Db-draft-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Broom and a Mop|Broom and a Mop]] ([[User talk:Broom and a Mop|talk]]) 01:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
