Hello there,
Since i have been blocked with adding my own credits (I think by you) , i was wondering if you could update my page with my new Paramount plus series"1923" in which I play Father Renaud and other credits which you can find on Imdb and also is it possible to change the photo that was posted by a fan with a more flattering and recent photo of me. The one that is posted is from 10 years ago.
Thank you
I was wondering when I can have access to my own page to correct the errors made by the people administering my page. I still struggle to understand how Wikipedia can do this. I would be willing to work with an administrator in tandem to give them the right info.
Thank you
Best

Oh not at all. I did decline to do so after he got impatient, but I mentioned that perhaps another admin would like to. You can give someone advice, but you can't stop them from making a mistake.

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Given that the IP address will still be visible to vandal fighters I think session based makes the most sense.
However has a hybrid approach been considered? If someone shows up with no cookie using an IP than has been used in the last week just append to it. So User:Anon3406 becomes User:Anon3406-2 or something similar. HighInBC Need help?

Hi John. As with all IP blocks, the block I did was temporary. It was for 2 weeks. It is very common for IPs to change owners. I looked at the IPs most recent editing and am not seeing any clear indication it is the same person. I believe the original block has served its purpose.
If there is a fresh issue with this IP please feel free to let me know here and I will look closer at the matter. HighInBC Need help?

Ah, ok, I inferred (!) that it had to be a static IP, else why complain? Of course that presupposes that the author knows about such arcane lore, which is a big suppose.

greetings: i will ask you because you seem less hysterical than the admin who declined my unblock request. there exists on Wikipedia an article on the veracity of statements made by Donald Trump, and if you look at the deleted revisions for the deleted draft (overlooking my juvenile and POV terminology for Pres Biden) you will see quite a few links to reliable sources questioning the truthfulness of Pres Biden. these links could demonstrate notability for this topic imo, but before i even bother with trying to restart the article i would like to ask you whether this article would stand a chance in hell of surviving on Wikipedia. plz advise if you would be so kind. sincere thanks, 173.87.170.14 (talk) 00:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-01-13T00:15:00.000Z","author":"173.87.170.14","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-173.87.170.14-2022-01-13T00:15:00.000Z-Draft_Veracity_of_statements_by_Joe_Biden","replies":["c-HighInBC-2022-01-13T00:40:00.000Z-173.87.170.14-2022-01-13T00:15:00.000Z","c-HighInBC-2022-01-13T00:42:00.000Z-173.87.170.14-2022-01-13T00:15:00.000Z"]}}-->

I don't think it was a competency issue. I think it is a bias issue. That article you wrote was clearly an attack on a political figure you don't like. It was not a mistake based on ignorance, it was an intentional attack page. While I am very confident that I can improve a user who is struggling to understand the goals of Wikipedia, I have little confidence that I can convince someone with a strong political bias to act in a neutral fashion.

Bots Newsletter, January 2022
BRFA activity by month

Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots.

After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever.

Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020.

Overall
In the first half of 2020, there were 71 BRFAs. Of these, Green checkmarkY 59 were approved, and 12 were unsuccessful (with Dark red X symbolN2 8 denied, Blue question mark? 2 withdrawn, and Expired 2 expired).

Issues and enquiries are typically expected to be handled on the English Wikipedia. Pages reachable via unified login, like a talk page at Commons or at Italian Wikipedia could also be acceptable [...] External sites like Phabricator or GitHub (which require separate registration or do not allow for IP comments) and email (which can compromise anonymity) can supplement on-wiki communication, but do not replace it.

Conclusion

  • What's next for our intrepid band of coders, maintainers and approvers?
  • Will Citation bot ever be set free to roam the project?
  • What's the deal with all those book links that InternetArchiveBot is adding to articles?
  • Should we keep using Gerrit for MediaWiki?
  • What if we had a day for bots to make cosmetic edits?

These questions will be answered — and new questions raised — by the February 2022 Bots Newsletter. Tune in, or miss out!

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Hello, Last year I got in trouble for edit warring (you denied my appeal), and I would like to avoid that this time. I have changed some of the language I was proposing last year for Peet's Coffee to address some of the objections raised at that time. Some of the editors from that time are knee-jerk reverting/deleting this content without really engaging in good faith on the talk page. I have requested mediation on WP:DNR. One question I have is this: If I am engaged in an edit war with another user, aren't we both guilty of edit warring? This is the aspect of the policy I don't understand. Other users have made little effort to WP:NEGOTIATE, WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM, or WP:DONTBITE.

Hello, HighInBC,

I was looking at an old AFD you participated in and hovered over your name to see when you were last active and saw you were editing today. I hope you are returning! We could use more admin help plus it's great to see once active editors come back after a WikiBreak. Hope to see you around the project. Liz Read!

I happened upon an article titled [ The Questionable Validity of General Booty Wikipedia, (a finely crafted slander against Wikipedia), and couldn't find anything at all about "Alcase.org". It's "About Us" section gives no hint. I emailed [email protected], (provided by them), linking them to my userpage, my (xtools history), and a 2020 "Independent" article titled Can we trust Wikipedia? 1.4 billion people can't be wrong. I politely expressed the view that their article is wholly misleading and suggested they ought to take it down. I suspect their target audience are sheep and that Alcase are a religious sect "tending the flock". A search for Alcase turns up an unending series of ads for holidays in Alsace, and nothing else.

Either way, Admin need to read the article, (my email to them available, should anyone want it).

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
