Unblock

My IP address blocked. No idea what is the reason, maybe my fault or not my fault. I can't continue editing in wikipedia if blocked. Editing from 2402:1980:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪NinjaRobotPirate‬.

The mere fact that you could edit this page means that your account is not affected by a block. 331dot (talk) 15:52, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Our problem

We are in a bilingual school, Édifice Filion. The school year will be over on June 2022, could you please block it into June 2022 to give us a chance for next year? CFDG123 (talk) 17:38, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

You say that the French Wikipedia allows account creation; students may create accounts there and they will work here. 331dot (talk) 18:16, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following consensus at the 2021 RfA review, the autopatrolled user right has been removed from the administrators user group; admins can grant themselves the autopatrolled permission if they wish to remain autopatrolled.

• Additionally, consensus for proposal 6C of the 2021 RfA review has led to the creation of an administrative action review process. The purpose of this process will be to review individual administrator actions and individual actions taken by users holding advanced permissions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2021 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Cabayi, Donald Albury, Enterprisey, Izno, Opabinia regalis, Worm That Turned, Wugapodes.

Miscellaneous

• The functionaries email list (functionaries-enlists.wikimedia.org) will no longer accept incoming emails apart from those sent by list members and WMF staff. Private concerns, apart from those requiring oversight, should be directly sent to the Arbitration Committee.

How we will see unregistered users

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)

A10 and Sprey

So yeah, as I did write in the summery box, Sprey was never involved in the creation of the A10 (the part I removed). If you read any of the design documents, you will not find his name, or find him on any of the photographs taken of the design team. Whose name you will find in those documents is alexander Kartveli, the designer of P-47, F-84 and F-105, yet on his Wiki page the A10 is not even mentioned. You can read up some documents and find these details. It is a shame that Sprey was taking credit for someones creation, who died in 1974 and people still believe it. So I, with many others, would be happy to see Sprey gone from the A10s Wiki page, as his ideas which never made it in the aircraft (thank God) would have caused the plane to be worse than it is/was. Also, if I have to provide sources, it goes the same for the part with Sprey. I can also ask my friend to vouch for me, that I made the A10. Other than that saying that he was the creator, there is nothing to prove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SneakyStephano (talk • contribs) 12:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

SneakyStephano We refer to the encyclopedic content here as articles, not pages. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state. Unfortunately, we cannot accept personal accounts of something or people vouching for you as it must be possible to verify the information presented in an article. If the sources given in the article are not being summarized accurately, please tell us how on the article talk page, Talk:Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II. If the sources are being summarized accurately, but you disagree with what they say or they are in error, you will need to take that up with the sources, and/or provide additional independent reliable sources that can be verified that support your proposed changes. 331dot (talk) 12:10, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

NoReformers, SneakyStephano, 50.90.211.22, all the same person, all reverting the same material, which is easy to see in the article history. I just don't have time tonight to pursue it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Prince Marko

Greetings and Happy New Year, this new IP [[1]] continues to make unconstructive edits on Prince Marko page, even though they were warned on their talk page, and reverted by multiple editors, can something be done ? Thank you.Theonewithreason (talk) 07.Januar 2021 (UTC)

WP:Hob Gadling violating WP:CIVIL

The user User:Hob Gadling has been violating several rules in Wikipedia, like WP:CIVIL * [2][3][4] where eh told some to f off, and WP:NPA [5], where he did a personal attack. He seems more of a troll and thus should be blocked. GregYoot (talk) 21:43, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I have my sympathies - you got hoodwinked by a seventeen-edit-old fringey editor. TrangaBellam (talk) 22:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

TrangaBellam I (obviously wrongly) assumed this was an immediate problem that needed to be addressed, given that I was approached directly, and as such I did not check the date. This is my error only; I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. 331dot (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Apologies but who is the editor your talking about? GregYoot (talk) 22:09, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

GregYoot I assumed that this problem was an immediate problem requiring attention now because you approached me directly. If you wish to report a longer-term habitual problem(I have not examined the entirety of the other user's record and don't intend to, so I don't know if that applies here or not), a venue such as WP:ANI should be used. 331dot (talk) 22:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

GregYoot now blocked as a sock. What a surprise.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
