Administrators, if you see that I've made a mistake, please fix it. I will not consider it wheel-warring if you reverse my admin actions, however I do expect you to leave a message here explaining your reasons. |
How we will see unregistered users[edit]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 donโt 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) 18:14, 4 January 2022 (UTC) Happy First Edit Day![edit]

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message[edit]Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Unprotection request for Abominable (2019 film)[edit]Recently, I noticed that the page for the film Abominable was apparently protected at the "Extended confirmed protected" level, apparently due to some edit war that occurred almost six months before the film was even released. Seeing as it has not been previously set to a semi-protection level along with the fact that nearly four years have passed by since then with not much activity (at least to the best of my knowledge, anyway), are you able to either reduce or remove the current protection level? Thanks! IceWalrus236 (talk) 06:57, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Undeletion request[edit]Hi there, I was working on a page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Matthew_Mason_(physiologist) about a professor who is fairly prominent at my university but it got deleted because sometime thought I was writing about myself and I did not use third party references. Please can I request it to be undeleted so I can work on it further by providing more reliable sources? I'm new to editing Wikipedia so I wasn't aware of the source requirement, and I am certainly not writing about myself, thanks!

The Body Electric (Rush song)[edit]I've decided to recreate the article The Body Electric (Rush song) as a redirect to their 1984 album Grace Under Pressure (Rush album), despite the previous creation by a banned user. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC) ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message[edit]Hello!

Coat of arms (heraldy crown)[edit]Hi CactusWriter. I've already mentioned issues with the article/editor to Drmies, but the editor creating Coat of arms (heraldy crown) has just re-created it again following your most recent deletion. That's the third time it'd been deleted today, I think, and it's also been moved to draft space. Anything you can do? I can tag for speedy deletion, again, but I think they'll just re-create it. They're not responding on their talk page. Cheers, Bastunฤฤกรกแธฮฒรกลโฎลญล! 23:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
Reason[edit]When the conversation about an article is going on, the reason to delete that article in a hurry??--Gowtham Sampath (talk) 17:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Contents of a deleted article[edit]Last month, you deleted Draft:Guyana Campaign per G3. The Guyana Campaign under Bolรญvar was very real, which makes me wonder what exactly the hoax article stated. Any clarity here would be much appreciated. - Mebigrouxboy (talk) 16:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Why did you delete https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia/Ruda_Real?[edit]Your explanation at the page didnโt make any sense. If you donโt think this constitutes a hoax please let MfD decide, donโt perform an illegitimate speedy deletion. Dronebogus (talk) 08:49, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
