just wondering about the revert of my edit onTilly Keeper, is there a certain rule/guideline against using promo pics on actor pages? i thought the photo was much better & more up to date than the current one. –DarkGlow (talk)20:40, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
@AnemoneProjectors: BTW, I hope you don’t feel as though I’m trying to push your image out! I’ve never added an image to Wiki so it would be fun to have my image on Tilly’s article, if possible! Have a great day –DarkGlow (talk)08:48, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

There is an user that keeps edit-warring on my own talk page. I asked him to stop but he continues to vandalize. He did it a total of 21 times already. I would not complain about it but this situation needs to stop. This is really getting annoying.HÊÚL. (talk)03:24, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

This message was sent to all administrators following arecent motion. Thank you for your attention. For theArbitration Committee,Cameron1159802:53, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
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 arerequired to "have strong passwords andfollow appropriate personal security practices." We haveupdated 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 anoptional 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, -Cameron1159821:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
