Transcendental number[edit]

Hi! You reverted my recent edit at Transcendental number. My reason for the edit was this: "possibly", as an adverb, refers to "transcendental", whereas "possible", as an adjectve, refers to "numbers". (At least, this is how these word categories are used in German). Clearly, the former is more appropriate: they might be, or might not be, transcendental; but it is beyond doubt that they are numbers. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 15:29, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Transcendental number[edit]

I agree with the adverb-adjective thing. But to my American ear, "possibly transcendental numbers" just sound a bit weird, whereas, "possible trascendental numbers" doesn't sound weird. Perhaps something in my roots? Was raised with English, not German.

If it sounds better, keep it. I'm not a native English speaker, and the issue is a minor one, anyway. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom 2019 special circular[edit]

Administrators must secure their accounts

The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:15, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)[edit]

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 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of ref[edit]

At Tillamook Rock Light, you removed a reference because it was producing a 404 error. I restored it at tagged it with {{DL}} as explained in WP:KDL. Keeping the dead link is much more useful than removing it. In fact, I went and searched the website and found the article was still there at a different URL, so I repaired the Dead Link as well. This would not have been possible with just a {{cn}} tag. MB 01:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
