Specifically, the phrase generously offered by the reviewer, which states: <i> "I'm still not convinced that "cyber privacy" as a neologism actually exists in the world. Non of the sources cited here actually define cyber-privacy as being any different from internet privacy or Information privacy. At best, the sources convince me that this would be a redirect to Internet privacy which appear to be dealing with this exact topic."</i> —suggests that the reviewer holds the opinion that "cyberspace" consists solely of something digital and internet-based. </p><p>The distinction between 'cyber-', 'digital-', and 'internet-' forms the crux of the article's topic and is central to understanding why 'cyber privacy' deserves separate consideration. </p><p>We fully understand that the assumption of complete equivalence between these terms is a legitimate perspective shared by many notable scholars, including a number of Wikipedia reviewers. Indeed, the current Wikipedia article on 'cyberspace' conveys this idea, defining <a href="/wiki/Cyberspace" title="Cyberspace">cyberspace</a> solely as internet and digital. However, there exists a well-established cohort of scholars, officials, and stakeholders who adopt a broader definition of "cyberspace," underscoring that 'cyber-,' 'internet-,' and 'digital-' may occupy distinct, albeit related, spheres. </p><p>While we appreciate the feedback, the claim that 'cyber privacy' is synonymous with 'internet privacy' overlooks several authoritative distinctions in academic, legal, and industry discourse. If necessary, we are happy to provide further evidence to clarify this matter. </p><p>We are mindful of the valuable time of the esteemed reviewer and would humbly inquire whether they are interested in continuing this discussion. Should the reviewer find it intellectually engaging, we might suggest a brief exploration into the difference between "<b>cyberattack</b>" and "<b>cyberspace attack</b>," which may shed light on the concept of "cyberspace" that informed the development of the draft in question. </p><p>Once again, we appreciate the reviewer's insights and the constructive direction provided. <a href="/wiki/User:Professorincryptography" title="User:Professorincryptography">Professorincryptography</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Professorincryptography" title="User talk:Professorincryptography">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sohom_Datta#c-Professorincryptography-20240904111500-Response_to_Reviewer's_Feedback_on_Draft:Cyber_privacy" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">11:15, 4 September 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Professorincryptography-20240904111500-Response_to_Reviewer's_Feedback_on_Draft:Cyber_privacy"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Professorincryptography-20240904111500-Response_to_Reviewer's_Feedback_on_Draft:Cyber_privacy"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Sohom_Datta-20240904125900-Professorincryptography-20240904111500"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Professorincryptography" title="User:Professorincryptography">Professorincryptography</a> Two questions: <ul><li><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1248585704">@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{color:#00B785}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{color:#00B785}}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{font-family:Georgia,"DejaVu Serif",serif;color:#008560;quotes:none}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk-italic{font-family:inherit;font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk-marks{quotes:"\"""\""}</style><q class="inline-quote-talk">The distinction between 'cyber-', 'digital-', and 'internet-' forms the crux of the article's topic and is central to understanding why 'cyber privacy' deserves separate consideration.</q> - Could you be more explicit about what this distinction is?</li> <li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">While we appreciate the feedback, the claim that 'cyber privacy' is synonymous with 'internet privacy' overlooks several authoritative distinctions in academic, legal, and industry discourse.

I used the <a href="/wiki/We#Author's_we" title="We"><i>author's we</i></a>, but I now understand this may have been confusing under Wikipedia rules. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.</dd> <dd>2. I am happy to provide a clearer distinction between 'cyber-', 'digital-', and 'internet-' based on reliable sources. I originally did not expand on this in the draft to keep the focus on "cyber privacy," but I can provide a summary as follows:</dd> <dd><b>The distinction between "cyber-", "digital-", and "internet-" revolves around scope. "Cyber-" includes both digital and non-digital systems, encompassing infrastructures like telecommunications networks and industrial control systems, some of which may not be connected to the Internet. "Internet-" is specific to the global network, while "digital-" refers strictly to data in binary form, which may or may not be part of the cyber domain.</b></dd> <dd><figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Graphical-Summary-of-Cyber-Internet-Digital-Based-on-NSPD-ISO-NIST-USC.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Graphical-Summary-of-Cyber-Internet-Digital-Based-on-NSPD-ISO-NIST-USC.jpg/220px-Graphical-Summary-of-Cyber-Internet-Digital-Based-on-NSPD-ISO-NIST-USC.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="174" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Graphical-Summary-of-Cyber-Internet-Digital-Based-on-NSPD-ISO-NIST-USC.jpg/330px-Graphical-Summary-of-Cyber-Internet-Digital-Based-on-NSPD-ISO-NIST-USC.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Graphical-Summary-of-Cyber-Internet-Digital-Based-on-NSPD-ISO-NIST-USC.jpg 2x" data-file-width="401" data-file-height="318"/></a><figcaption>This diagram provides a factual summary of key concepts from ISO/IEC 27032, NIST, CNSSI, NSPD-54, and 18 USC 1030 regarding the distinctions between cyber, internet, digital, and related systems.</figcaption></figure></dd> <dd></dd> <dd>I am happy to share the following points with you, starting with the visual representation I’ve created based on the documents I cite below (see the attached picture).

Here, and in the entire paragraph, nothing is mentioned about whether the information is digital or if access is through the internet. However, the term "computer" used in the context can refer to non-digital systems (as demonstrated by <b>Exhibit C</b>) while still being part of cyberspace (according to <b>Exhibit B</b>), thus extending beyond digital and internet-based systems.</dd> <dd>Further clarification can be seen in the definition provided by <sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> where "electronic communications system" is defined as "any wire, radio, electromagnetic, photooptical, or photoelectronic facilities for the transmission of wire or electronic communications, and any computer facilities or related electronic equipment for the electronic storage of such communications."

This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues.

Additionally the second paragraph is filled with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WTW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WTW">dubious phrasing</a> like <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">leading institutions</q> and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">market leaders</q>. I also doubt that LinkedIn data is a reliable indicator of anything concrete. Lastly, it seems the AI LEAD act has only bee introduced into the house and has not been made into a law, something the article glosses over. TLDR, I think my concerns still stand, the article is still trying hard to sell a particular viewpoint, but there are holes in verifiability and encyclopedic writing. <a href="/wiki/User:Sohom_Datta" title="User:Sohom Datta"><b class="skin-invert" style="color:#795cb2;">Sohom</b></a> (<a class="mw-selflink selflink"><span class="skin-invert" style="color: #36c;">talk</span></a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sohom_Datta#c-Sohom_Datta-20241016091000-J2000ai-20241015182800" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Sohom_Datta-20241016091000-J2000ai-20241015182800"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Sohom_Datta-20241016091000-J2000ai-20241015182800"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-J2000ai-20241018224100-Sohom_Datta-20241016091000"></span>Thanks for the quick reply. I've posted detailed replies to the 4 issues you raised on the CAIO Article Talk Page per Wikipedia guidelines.

This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process. </p><p>As a reminder, the schedule of the election is: </p> <ul><li>October 15–21: <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SecurePoll" class="extiw" title="m:SecurePoll">SecurePoll</a> setup phase</li> <li>October 22–24: Discussion phase</li> <li>October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase</li> <li>November 1–?: Scrutineering phase</li></ul> <p>We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase. </p><p>The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RFA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RFA">request for adminship</a> (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner. </p><p>On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SecurePoll" class="extiw" title="m:SecurePoll">SecurePoll</a> software to vote, which uses a <a href="/wiki/Secret_ballot" title="Secret ballot">secret ballot</a>. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_elections#Who_can_vote" title="Wikipedia:Administrator elections">suffrage requirements</a> are different from those at RfA. </p><p>Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_elections/October_2024" title="Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024">main election page</a>. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrat_discussion" title="Wikipedia:Bureaucrat discussion">bureaucrat discussions</a> ("<span style="padding-left:0.15em;">'</span>crat chats"). </p><p>Any questions or issues can be asked on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Administrator_elections" title="Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections">election talk page</a>.

I was pleased to see that you were elected, since my (admittedly few) prior interactions with you have been very pleasant. I really like the "Impact" template you have at the top of your userpage and I'm interested in adding something similar to mine, though just adding the <code>{{Special:Impact/PCN02WPS}}</code> gives the full readout as opposed to just what you have. If you wouldn't mind divulging your secrets, what behind-the-scenes wizardry is needed to get mine to look like yours?

This deployment will have a significant effect on the community-maintained code. This is about Toolforge tools, bots, gadgets, and user scripts that use IP address data or that are available for logged-out users. The Trust and Safety Product team wants to identify this code, monitor it, and assist in updating it ahead of the deployment to minimize disruption to workflows. The team asks technical editors and volunteer developers to help identify such tools by adding them to <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety_Product/Temporary_Accounts/For_developers/Impacted_tools" class="extiw" title="mw:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers/Impacted tools">this list</a>.

The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup">here</a></b>. If you have not yet signed up, you can <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/2025_signups" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/2025 signups">add your name here</a></b> and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup" title="Wikipedia talk:WikiCup">WikiCup talk page</a>. </p><p>For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#What's_changed_from_last_year?" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring">several changes</a> to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Tournament_points" title="Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring">tournament points</a> at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round. </p><p>The first round will end on 26 February.

This is the system which allows users to fill out the login form on one Wikimedia site and get logged in on all others at the same time.

As part of the work to <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T383036" class="extiw" title="phab:T383036">modernize Cite customization</a>, these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like "1.23" once the alphabetic markers are all used.</li> <li>The log entries for each change to an editor's user-groups are now clearer by specifying exactly what has changed, instead of the plain before and after listings. Translators can <a href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T369466" class="extiw" title="phab:T369466">help to update the localized versions</a>. Thanks to user Msz2001 for these improvements.</li> <li>A new filter has been added to the <a href="/wiki/Special:Nuke" title="Special:Nuke">Special:Nuke</a> tool, which allows administrators to mass delete pages, to enable users to filter for pages in a range of page sizes (in bytes). This allows, for example, deleting pages only of a certain size or below. <a class="external autonumber" href="https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T378488">[87]</a></li> <li>Non-administrators can now check which pages are able to be deleted using the <a href="/wiki/Special:Nuke" title="Special:Nuke">Special:Nuke</a> tool.
