Hi! Just in case you may be interested: this article probably need corrections, looks very skewed to the right. Wikisaurus ( talk) 22:33, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Help me out here. I was looking for an actual birthdate for Tarrio, rather than the existing date range based on mentions of his age in a number of different stories. That's when I found his Federal Bureau of Prisons entry from his prior offense. It had his year of birth, 1984. That would have been verified by documentation. That corresponded consistently with other ages that I'd found at different times. It also had his legal name as Henry, with "Enrique" being used by the subject as a preferred nickname and his chronological age. I found another mention of that former name as accurate. As I looked further, I found an actual birth date, rather than just a year, and it was consistent with other mentions, over a number of stories. One thing I did find as odd was that the FBOP name also had his ethnicity as "white," rather than "Afro-Cuban," which he prefers but doesn't exist in their system, or black. I don't know if his skin color reflects a deep tan, and/or is artificially darkened through chemicals. Biological siblings can have widely varying skin colors, of course, such as in the Healy family, where some siblings were clearly African-American, but others "passed" for white, so much so that some were not recognized as mixed-ethnicity until long after their deaths. One had been the president of Georgetown University, in the 19th Century, when the institution was still segregated. I am also thinking of Rachel Dolezal, who eventually admitted that she was not actually African-American as her parents had previously confirmed. So then I found the actual Tarrio birthdate at the Buzzfeed site. That is not a deprecated source. So I'm not sure why the article should revert to the range, rather than the actual date. I have no reason to believe that is not accurate. Thanks! Activist ( talk) 10:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses.
On 9 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Actual play, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

I've asked this twice to two other people who never responded back, and I'm Gay and you're Queer so I trust you. A while back, my user page had a small square at the bottom saying "other users who are Gay, other users who have seen Lost," and before I knew it and before I could check it out, that box was gone. Any idea how that box works?? Lostfan333 ( talk) 20:36, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

On Wikipedia talk:Username policy, there is an RfC about how strongly we should encourage new users to use a username other than their real names - the argument for which is that it would protect users from harassment. I thought of the most prominent Wikipedia harassment cases I knew of, and all three were of women who did not use their real names as their usernames, so that didn't seem to correlate very well. And, well, you're one of them, and the other two are unavailable. Unless I'm wrong, you started with a pseudonym, but are now using your real name intentionally? But Wugapodes makes a convincing argument that I'm blinding myself with my male privilege, so I'm tempted to strike my opinion. Wanna read the discussion and weigh in?

Claiming that all the WW2 veterans will be dead in a decade is not intelligent.
I called it "the R word" because I felt that it was unintelligent in the extreme and I thought that was a good way to express this observation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:4502:1B40:7525:549E:45E5:3BEB ( talk) 00:55, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
And I'm sorry. It's just that I regretted contributing (a bit) to the article due to my intense and undying hatred of My Magic Pet Morphle. So I decided to vandalize the page as revenge for its existence (and my few good contributions). Even though I am the IP address that vandalises the article a lot, I have actually contributed a few times. I added the image, which I spotted on Wikimedia Commons one day before the article was even on Wikipedia. I created the characters section (even though I deliberately did not add the correct info in it) and improved the infobox a bit. I just want you to know that I am very, very sorry, and I will never do it again. The IP address is shared, and sometimes I am accused of doing edits that I never did. Sometimes I wish I could edit as a registered user. 63.143.116.135 ( talk) 19:19, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi GorillaWarfare, a fellow software developer here. I recently added a paragraph into metoo page in the criticism section. The paragraph mentioned the two controversial cases of governor Cuomo and Tara Reade. In both of those cases it was well documented with references to mainstream media sources that metoo movement was not proactive about those cases. I still don't understand why that section was removed as it was in the proper criticism section and had enough references to the proper news sources. I honestly saddened that even Wikipedia has plunged into censorship as my logical mind cannot interpret your action any different... Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georget2004 ( talk • contribs) 11:51, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gorilla Warfare,
Needless to say, I feel ny short "block" is arbitrary and unfair. But it's short. For the moment, let me copy to you what I wrote to another admin, Deepfriedokra with regard to their comment, since it's pertinent. Mind you, this is only the tip of the iceberg in what I feel is an issue of POV editing and edit warring being carried out by editors -- most prominently, but not exclusively, the editor who brought what I feel was a retaliatory, harassing complaint against me simply for disagreeing with her (who is also the originator of the article and is having some apparent WP:OWN issues) -- with an ideological bent trying to alter clear, pertinent, sourced facts to fit their viewpoint. My comment to Deepfriedokra below. thanks!
Hello,
In your comment at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion Boodlesthecat, you wrote I think the "penises" comment quoted above shows 1) Boodles is emotionally engaged with this issue and therefore 2) has an insurmountable WP:COI in this subject area due to Boodles visceral response. The more visceral the response we have in content matters, (apart from SPAM, I guess) the more circumspect we must be in editing an encyclopedia. This being a visceral response, it is probably uncontrollable, so Boodles should edit in other areas. At this point, I do not think Boodles is capable of doing that without Community support-- a TBAN, or partial block, or both
I find this attribution to some supposed emotional state on my part offensive. I have made fact based arguments for every edit I have made, discussed at length on the talk pages, and have engaged with editors who are obstinate in preferring their POV rather than simple facts.
My offending "penises" comment, if you read what I wrote in the talk page, was in the context of the use of the term "TERF" as being seen as a slur by some. I gave the example of it being tossed at an apolitical biological woman who simply has an abhorrence to be naked and vulnerable in the presence of penises in spaces which she expects not to be. Are you saying such women don't exist? Or if they exist, we cannot describe them in simple English because the very words used to describe this woman is somehow offensive to some? How would you describe such a woman? Perhaps one who is a rape survivor who is triggered by penises/male genitalia?
Similar, ideological/personal biases of other editors insist on blocking simple, factual mention that the LAPD has both considered the suspect to be a male, and cannot confirm their gender identity. So, due to biases of editors, we supposedly cannot say something like "the LAPD has described the suspect as male" even though it is a naked fact, and entirely pertinent to the police claim that the suspect pretends to be trans to commit sex crimes in women's spaces, and likely hints at what the prosecution will be claiming. I've simply countered, through discussion, the reality that we can't change actual salient facts (LAPD is claiming the suspect is male) simply because someone doesn't like that. That's something to take up with the LAPD. Changing facts in WP is not the way to for these "emotionally engaged" editors to deal with their feelings. I would appreciate it if people commenting on this case and recommending some sort of sanctions would deal with the facts, rather than their own "visceral" "emotionally engaged" responses before supporting arbitrary, one side actions.

GorillaWarfare (she/her •
talk) 19:22, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Was looking at
Project Veritas because of an edit request that popped up on the talkpage.
It seems to me that some of the footnotes/references should be listed out instead of referring to the citation/reference numbers only. For instance, take a look at Ref 14, 16, 17, 23, 24, 36, 40, 56, 69, and 229 where the references are listed out as a bunch of numbers such as [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] so the reader has to then click on the linked number to see what reference the number belongs to... which, as
the edit request did basically point out (however POV their request might have been) casual readers won't always understand.
Now, the case could certainly be made that this is all citation overkill but since this article is always a sizzling minefield, I personally would be loath to remove almost any reliable reference, especially, as in the case of Ref 14, where all those cited sources are for the term "disinformation"... So. I have been poring over Wikipedia Help pages going down the WP-rabbit hole of not always helpful templates etc in search of how to convert these long strings of visually-nonsensical ref numbers into at least some kind of informational list, such as (somewhat) the appearance of Ref 382 at
Thomas Jefferson (barring of course all those poor/awful CITEREFs...)
Can you point me to any example articles where the internal coding would work for PV? If I can see an example with actual code then I can learn how to do it myself...lol, like a toddler saying "Me do! Me do!" I'll learn how to do if I actually do *do* it. Thanks,

Hey Gorilla Warfare! I noticed you took down the picture that I added for Nicholas Lim that I found on his public facing social media profile. I am new to editing, but am looking to help add more various pages that I come across when clicking the "random article" button. That page on Nick looks like a biography of a living person, and could use a picture. There were pictures also I noticed of Lim on the articles that are cited throughout the article. How can we use one of those, or is there a way that we can that is not a copyright violation! Thanks, and sorry if I am getting things wrong. I am a very new editor!

Please see my latest edit there. It is obvious the book being cited let some typos slipped by, I couldn't figure out how to cite the actual quote from the Washington Post article because it would have ended up with a doubly-nested reference - so placed a hidden comment pointing to the source for the exact quote.

See, for me, the audited processes really highlight the collaborative nature of the place - DYK to a degree but moreso GAN and FAC. GAN is good, one goes in with an attitude of, "How can this article be better?" - the main thing is that it is comprensive, readable in accessible English, not copyvio and sourced with reliable sources and image licencing is ok. Choosing a fairly narrow article is good (makes comprehensiveness easy to check) and an experienced article/GAN writer and away one goes...villages...films...buildings... etc.... are easy.

Hi GorillaWarfare (or Molly, which ever you'd prefer)! I noticed you were recently online when I checked my watchlist just now and saw your DYK nomination, and I'd like to ask a favor. The above article is undergoing a severe vandalism spree — it's already at RFPP, but I feel this is a fairly urgent case because of the sheer volume of vandalism over the past hour or so (I've made over 20 reverts during that time). Could you please semi-protect it? Thank you for your consideration, Dylan620 ( talk) 22:49, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Infinite semi-protection of a talk page that's likely to get younger editors engaged seems like a non-ideal way forward. There certainly have been problems on the page, and without semi-protection, there probably always will be some. But I'd urge you to consider dropping it to 30 days or so. The issues have been slow and mostly not horrible. Hobit ( talk) 12:21, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Appreciate your service at the MeWe page. With regard to the disingenuous assertions in the Talk, there, it perhaps might be good for you to invite others to join you in moderating the edit requests there—not for reasons of any true bias, but just so that other's names appear with yours, doing that work (for sake of appearances). Emphasizing we are a community is, at its heart, a good thing. And sometimes, appearance of being unbiased is as important to a WP-naive audience as the reality itself. Cheers.

Hey there! See you opened up the "Web3" article - thanks! Editors had this locked down under "semantic web" for a very long time, unwilling to hear arguments that it really has little to do with that concept, good to see it out from under the grasp of Tim Bernier Lee's vast PR machine. As a heads up, the term for the technological movement is "Web 3.0", not "Web3." "Web3" is trademark of the Web3 Foundation, who run Web3 Summit in addition to many other initiatives pushing the decentralized web forward. Many people make the mistake of calling the movement "Web3" because they are familiar with the Web3 Foundation's work in the area. But the nomenclature for the movement must be "Web 3.0" to avoid this confusion.
Positioning the movement as "Web3" is very confusing and offputting for those building these technologies, so I'd please as that the article be revised to "Web 3.0" throughout. TBL/Semantic web is a very different thing, despite Tim's many attempts to "domain squat" on the "Web 3.0" term. He does not play a significant role in the tech or vision for this future.
Thanks again!

I'm happy with the article as a whole but the presentation of some parts (and one of the sources) is somewhat poor. We can mive the discussion here if you wish since the talk page is cluttered.-- Trade ( talk) 03:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
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)

Hey GorillaWarfare, I just saw your comment in stattracker24's talk page. Originally, I was able to find the recovery data using the "released from isolation" that was updated weekly or using the active case counts. Released from isolation has not been updated since 23 June, 2021, and active case counts have not been updated since 30 June 2021. So yes, as of now the recovery data aren't available.

Hi there, I noticed your warning on my Talk page earlier r.e. the sharing of the Twitter details. I’ll keep what you said in mind - though what this user said about myself (including outright posting screenshots of my Wiki profile and making comments ridiculing and insulting me) and other Talk:2021 contributors (referring to us as “ignorant cunts”, among other things) on other public platforms is completely unacceptable & undermines any claim of good faith on his part (especially when he protested our reservations about his good faith on the Talk:2021 page while at the same time insinuating that we weren’t acting in good faith). I would also like to let it be known that if there’s any way at all that this can be done, I would like for any and all references (all of which were written in April, December, and today - and of which they are all of a negative, disparaging and utterly misrepresentative nature that borders on slander) to myself and my Wiki activities on his public Twitter account to be deleted immediately. In any case, I won’t share the link to his Twitter profile here again. TheScrubby ( talk) 23:51, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi GorillaWarfare, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

Hi! Just in case you may be interested: this article probably need corrections, looks very skewed to the right. Wikisaurus ( talk) 22:33, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Help me out here. I was looking for an actual birthdate for Tarrio, rather than the existing date range based on mentions of his age in a number of different stories. That's when I found his Federal Bureau of Prisons entry from his prior offense. It had his year of birth, 1984. That would have been verified by documentation. That corresponded consistently with other ages that I'd found at different times. It also had his legal name as Henry, with "Enrique" being used by the subject as a preferred nickname and his chronological age. I found another mention of that former name as accurate. As I looked further, I found an actual birth date, rather than just a year, and it was consistent with other mentions, over a number of stories. One thing I did find as odd was that the FBOP name also had his ethnicity as "white," rather than "Afro-Cuban," which he prefers but doesn't exist in their system, or black. I don't know if his skin color reflects a deep tan, and/or is artificially darkened through chemicals. Biological siblings can have widely varying skin colors, of course, such as in the Healy family, where some siblings were clearly African-American, but others "passed" for white, so much so that some were not recognized as mixed-ethnicity until long after their deaths. One had been the president of Georgetown University, in the 19th Century, when the institution was still segregated. I am also thinking of Rachel Dolezal, who eventually admitted that she was not actually African-American as her parents had previously confirmed. So then I found the actual Tarrio birthdate at the Buzzfeed site. That is not a deprecated source. So I'm not sure why the article should revert to the range, rather than the actual date. I have no reason to believe that is not accurate. Thanks! Activist ( talk) 10:45, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person.

On Wikipedia talk:Username policy, there is an RfC about how strongly we should encourage new users to use a username other than their real names - the argument for which is that it would protect users from harassment. I thought of the most prominent Wikipedia harassment cases I knew of, and all three were of women who did not use their real names as their usernames, so that didn't seem to correlate very well. And, well, you're one of them, and the other two are unavailable. Unless I'm wrong, you started with a pseudonym, but are now using your real name intentionally?

And I'm sorry. It's just that I regretted contributing (a bit) to the article due to my intense and undying hatred of My Magic Pet Morphle. So I decided to vandalize the page as revenge for its existence (and my few good contributions). Even though I am the IP address that vandalises the article a lot, I have actually contributed a few times. I added the image, which I spotted on Wikimedia Commons one day before the article was even on Wikipedia. I created the characters section (even though I deliberately did not add the correct info in it) and improved the infobox a bit. I just want you to know that I am very, very sorry, and I will never do it again. The IP address is shared, and sometimes I am accused of doing edits that I never did.

Hi GorillaWarfare, a fellow software developer here. I recently added a paragraph into metoo page in the criticism section. The paragraph mentioned the two controversial cases of governor Cuomo and Tara Reade. In both of those cases it was well documented with references to mainstream media sources that metoo movement was not proactive about those cases. I still don't understand why that section was removed as it was in the proper criticism section and had enough references to the proper news sources. I honestly saddened that even Wikipedia has plunged into censorship as my logical mind cannot interpret your action any different...

Hi Gorilla Warfare,
Needless to say, I feel ny short "block" is arbitrary and unfair. But it's short. For the moment, let me copy to you what I wrote to another admin, Deepfriedokra with regard to their comment, since it's pertinent. Mind you, this is only the tip of the iceberg in what I feel is an issue of POV editing and edit warring being carried out by editors -- most prominently, but not exclusively, the editor who brought what I feel was a retaliatory, harassing complaint against me simply for disagreeing with her (who is also the originator of the article and is having some apparent WP:OWN issues) -- with an ideological bent trying to alter clear, pertinent, sourced facts to fit their viewpoint. My comment to Deepfriedokra below. thanks!

In your comment at the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion Boodlesthecat, you wrote I think the "penises" comment quoted above shows 1) Boodles is emotionally engaged with this issue and therefore 2) has an insurmountable WP:COI in this subject area due to Boodles visceral response. The more visceral the response we have in content matters, (apart from SPAM, I guess) the more circumspect we must be in editing an encyclopedia. This being a visceral response, it is probably uncontrollable, so Boodles should edit in other areas. At this point, I do not think Boodles is capable of doing that without Community support-- a TBAN, or partial block, or both
I find this attribution to some supposed emotional state on my part offensive. I have made fact based arguments for every edit I have made, discussed at length on the talk pages, and have engaged with editors who are obstinate in preferring their POV rather than simple facts.
My offending "penises" comment, if you read what I wrote in the talk page, was in the context of the use of the term "TERF" as being seen as a slur by some. I gave the example of it being tossed at an apolitical biological woman who simply has an abhorrence to be naked and vulnerable in the presence of penises in spaces which she expects not to be. Are you saying such women don't exist? Or if they exist, we cannot describe them in simple English because the very words used to describe this woman is somehow offensive to some? How would you describe such a woman? Perhaps one who is a rape survivor who is triggered by penises/male genitalia?
Similar, ideological/personal biases of other editors insist on blocking simple, factual mention that the LAPD has both considered the suspect to be a male, and cannot confirm their gender identity. So, due to biases of editors, we supposedly cannot say something like "the LAPD has described the suspect as male" even though it is a naked fact, and entirely pertinent to the police claim that the suspect pretends to be trans to commit sex crimes in women's spaces, and likely hints at what the prosecution will be claiming. I've simply countered, through discussion, the reality that we can't change actual salient facts (LAPD is claiming the suspect is male) simply because someone doesn't like that. That's something to take up with the LAPD. Changing facts in WP is not the way to for these "emotionally engaged" editors to deal with their feelings. I would appreciate it if people commenting on this case and recommending some sort of sanctions would deal with the facts, rather than their own "visceral" "emotionally engaged" responses before supporting arbitrary, one side actions.

GorillaWarfare (she/her •
talk) 19:22, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Was looking at
Project Veritas because of an edit request that popped up on the talkpage.
It seems to me that some of the footnotes/references should be listed out instead of referring to the citation/reference numbers only. For instance, take a look at Ref 14, 16, 17, 23, 24, 36, 40, 56, 69, and 229 where the references are listed out as a bunch of numbers such as [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] so the reader has to then click on the linked number to see what reference the number belongs to... which, as
the edit request did basically point out (however POV their request might have been) casual readers won't always understand.
Now, the case could certainly be made that this is all citation overkill but since this article is always a sizzling minefield, I personally would be loath to remove almost any reliable reference, especially, as in the case of Ref 14, where all those cited sources are for the term "disinformation"... So. I have been poring over Wikipedia Help pages going down the WP-rabbit hole of not always helpful templates etc in search of how to convert these long strings of visually-nonsensical ref numbers into at least some kind of informational list, such as (somewhat) the appearance of Ref 382 at
Thomas Jefferson (barring of course all those poor/awful CITEREFs...)
Can you point me to any example articles where the internal coding would work for PV? If I can see an example with actual code then I can learn how to do it myself...lol, like a toddler saying "Me do! Me do!" I'll learn how to do if I actually do *do* it. Thanks,

Hey Gorilla Warfare! I noticed you took down the picture that I added for Nicholas Lim that I found on his public facing social media profile. I am new to editing, but am looking to help add more various pages that I come across when clicking the "random article" button. That page on Nick looks like a biography of a living person, and could use a picture. There were pictures also I noticed of Lim on the articles that are cited throughout the article. How can we use one of those, or is there a way that we can that is not a copyright violation! Thanks, and sorry if I am getting things wrong. I am a very new editor!

Please see my latest edit there. It is obvious the book being cited let some typos slipped by, I couldn't figure out how to cite the actual quote from the Washington Post article because it would have ended up with a doubly-nested reference - so placed a hidden comment pointing to the source for the exact quote.

See, for me, the audited processes really highlight the collaborative nature of the place - DYK to a degree but moreso GAN and FAC. GAN is good, one goes in with an attitude of, "How can this article be better?" - the main thing is that it is comprensive, readable in accessible English, not copyvio and sourced with reliable sources and image licencing is ok. Choosing a fairly narrow article is good (makes comprehensiveness easy to check) and an experienced article/GAN writer and away one goes...villages...films...buildings... etc.... are easy.

Hi GorillaWarfare (or Molly, which ever you'd prefer)! I noticed you were recently online when I checked my watchlist just now and saw your DYK nomination, and I'd like to ask a favor. The above article is undergoing a severe vandalism spree — it's already at RFPP, but I feel this is a fairly urgent case because of the sheer volume of vandalism over the past hour or so (I've made over 20 reverts during that time). Could you please semi-protect it? Thank you for your consideration, Dylan620 ( talk) 22:49, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Infinite semi-protection of a talk page that's likely to get younger editors engaged seems like a non-ideal way forward. There certainly have been problems on the page, and without semi-protection, there probably always will be some. But I'd urge you to consider dropping it to 30 days or so. The issues have been slow and mostly not horrible. Hobit ( talk) 12:21, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Appreciate your service at the MeWe page. With regard to the disingenuous assertions in the Talk, there, it perhaps might be good for you to invite others to join you in moderating the edit requests there—not for reasons of any true bias, but just so that other's names appear with yours, doing that work (for sake of appearances). Emphasizing we are a community is, at its heart, a good thing. And sometimes, appearance of being unbiased is as important to a WP-naive audience as the reality itself. Cheers.

Hey there! See you opened up the "Web3" article - thanks! Editors had this locked down under "semantic web" for a very long time, unwilling to hear arguments that it really has little to do with that concept, good to see it out from under the grasp of Tim Bernier Lee's vast PR machine. As a heads up, the term for the technological movement is "Web 3.0", not "Web3." "Web3" is trademark of the Web3 Foundation, who run Web3 Summit in addition to many other initiatives pushing the decentralized web forward. Many people make the mistake of calling the movement "Web3" because they are familiar with the Web3 Foundation's work in the area. But the nomenclature for the movement must be "Web 3.0" to avoid this confusion.
Positioning the movement as "Web3" is very confusing and offputting for those building these technologies, so I'd please as that the article be revised to "Web 3.0" throughout. TBL/Semantic web is a very different thing, despite Tim's many attempts to "domain squat" on the "Web 3.0" term. He does not play a significant role in the tech or vision for this future.
Thanks again!

I'm happy with the article as a whole but the presentation of some parts (and one of the sources) is somewhat poor. We can mive the discussion here if you wish since the talk page is cluttered.-- Trade ( talk) 03:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
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)

Hey GorillaWarfare, I just saw your comment in stattracker24's talk page. Originally, I was able to find the recovery data using the "released from isolation" that was updated weekly or using the active case counts.

Hi there, I noticed your warning on my Talk page earlier r.e. the sharing of the Twitter details. I’ll keep what you said in mind - though what this user said about myself (including outright posting screenshots of my Wiki profile and making comments ridiculing and insulting me) and other Talk:2021 contributors (referring to us as “ignorant cunts”, among other things) on other public platforms is completely unacceptable & undermines any claim of good faith on his part (especially when he protested our reservations about his good faith on the Talk:2021 page while at the same time insinuating that we weren’t acting in good faith). I would also like to let it be known that if there’s any way at all that this can be done, I would like for any and all references (all of which were written in April, December, and today - and of which they are all of a negative, disparaging and utterly misrepresentative nature that borders on slander) to myself and my Wiki activities on his public Twitter account to be deleted immediately. In any case, I won’t share the link to his Twitter profile here again. TheScrubby ( talk) 23:51, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

You've probably already read this bit of internet lore, but icymi, thought you might get a kick out of [6]. The crypto discussion on meta made me think of it. Levivich 23:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I recalled from some of the things you said in the WP:COIN we were both involved in that you are interested in ensuring that labor advocacy is well represented on Wikipedia. I attempted my first article with Draft:Chelsey Glasson and thought you might be interested in reviewing it. I noted your user page mentions you are quite busy with real life obligations, so hopefully this is not a bother, but I would genuinely be thankful for any input you have time to provide. I hope my editing has improved enough to be close to ready for acceptance. Thank you! SquareInARoundHole ( talk) 04:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Apologies for the message out of the blue, I know we haven't been on the friendliest of terms, but is there any chance your LinkedIn account may have gotten hacked? I noticed unusual activity today, including a friendly message to me (which is surprising but plausible) but most concerning some seemingly mean comments to other people. I struggle to make sense of it, and I apologize in advance if I have completely misinterpreted everything about this situation. Ben · Salvidrim! ✉ 20:38, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Hi Admin, I was scrolling through Wikipedia articles of my interest. I found that some of the users have done unconstructive edits to some of the pages like Parinamika & Arbit Choudhury. I request you to kindly block their IP address forever as they have been removing old Wikipedia pages. Thank You 2409:4053:200B:CD48:7D82:2BB9:E7C8:8C3 ( talk) 18:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey. I was wondering if you might be able to take a look at the situation over at Talk:James Shupe with your functionary hat on. User ElisaShupe says they've sent an email to the WMF for proving their identity. Would you be able to chase this up so that we can verify if changes are needed to the article? Thanks.

Is it possible to post a completely new biography article that has no links to it besides the references ? In other words, there are no links to it because the bio is about a person who was almost completely unknown and wiki has no links to the person.
thanks much for any feedback.

Hi GorillaWarfare, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! —usernamekiran (talk) 06:02, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
