I just wanted to note this here since the subject came up. Risker said "[Another complete aside, it seems that the software that estimates number/percentage of female editors uses this preference, and counts "gender neutral" as male.] " So yeah, that would definitely skew the results, and it seems like the software is deliberately skewing the results. If you don't tell them your gender, you must be male. Right. Reminds me of the logic used if someone gets up and says something, and then says "95% of you did not stand up and shout in opposition, so therefore 95% agree with me."

Those political laws affect readers and not just editors! We're currently blocked in Turkey and China, and it's a safe bet that everyone's reading in places like that is monitored (the https encryption helps but only slightly [1]). Another example of the WMF losing its way. I brought this up with Jimbo once and he brushed it off. I'll make a longer post about this one of these days. 67.164.113.165 ( talk) 16:14, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth, please ensure that the external site is not
violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as
YouTube or
Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Elizium23 ( talk) 03:12, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
The first 2 seasons of the 1994 Fox series Party of Five had been released on region 2 only, while all the seasons were released on regions 1 and 4. So I asked Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to release the last 4 seasons or the complete series on region 2 but they haven't replied in days. 86.131.107.28 ( talk) 20:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
I left a reply to an old RD thread you started here Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2019 December 18#projectile attacks against cars but obviously can't ping you.

Request reason:
When I try to edit, I get an error message saying "Editing from 73.93.152.0/22 has been blocked (disabled) by Eagles247 for the following reason(s): Block evasion: User:1116at. This block has been set to expire: 17:07, 14 September 2020. I'm confused by this since 67.164.113.165 isn't in that range if I understand how ranges work, which I thought I did. It also seems like a long block for a range of that size, because of the number of people likely to be caught in it. Can someone check into this, and possibly adjust the block? Thanks. 67.164.113.165 ( talk) 20:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Procedural decline as you are no longer blocked.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
