Hi - thank you for leaving a note on the page of new editor, Martifleming. He just came to the Teahouse to ask about how best to support his edit. As you'll see, I explained it could well be reverted until evidence is forthcoming. I believe this was a genuine edit, but it's well outside my experience to support - any help you could offer him would, I'm sure, be much appreciated. See Teahouse thread at Wikipedia:Teahouse#New_Article_-_Congressional_Gold_Medal,_Paul_C_Fleming. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 21:36, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

please confirm whether Bromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) compound is a inorganic compound or organic compound. Because the lead of the article describes it as a inorganic compound. but at the end it is categorised as a organorhenium compound.--கி.மூர்த்தி (talk) 02:25, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Organometallic compounds are inorganic compounds by definition because they contain a metal. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 10:52, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rifleman 82. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:52, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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 required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, 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, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Given that you have resigned as an admin, feel free to let me know if there are any user rights that could help you with whatever work you need. Happy to assign whatever I can given this wasn't "under a cloud" or anything of the sort. Just ping me whenever. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 07:53, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
