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)

Hi, can you lower the protection for Battle of Diu? There has been no discussion on the talk page since December; I'm not sure full protection until June is preventing any disruption or helping encourage discussion. Thanks. Levivich 15:00, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
I remember you from Bug's page so long ago. I used to have fun joking in there. It's a good rule that we shouldn't link dates. For some reason though whenever I come across that story I find myself as a reader looking up that date. Is that an absolutely carved in granite rule? Slight Smile 15:24, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote of confidence (and for helping my bad eyes!). I agree it would be best not to have any added reasons to "yell at people", though frankly, even with a "requirement", I'd be happy to spend all of my days just jumping in there on thousands of articles and adding this spacing (as opposed to "making" others do it). I do not see it as something that people would get scolded for too badly, and something that definitely helps me a whole lot (and thus probably other people would like the look better I imagine?). Regardless, I think a suggestion is still preferable to the status quo of not mentioning it either way (which leaves open the possibility of editor disagreement based on aesthetic look alone). ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 13:49, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Moin & Thank You for your input. The issue has shifted somewhat, but I've found out that not only my connection's not stable, appearently I'm occasionally in a blocked range and can't edit on en:wp at all - hence the delay. Just chanced that with my current uplink I can, so I wanted to say thanks and I read your reply, I just couldn't edit an answer. Regards, -- G-41614 ( talk) 16:26, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

I am currently having an issue on this article. I really don't know who to speak to. The editors there seem biased to Liverpool and aren't even producing facts to back their claims. I have produced countless evidence and I have mentioned it under the comments of each edit. But the editors just ignore my evidence. I am not even arguing something I believe in, I am arguing with facts. The Liverpool editors are arguing that a particular trophy needs to be included in the trophy tally, and I am showing them that the official Liverpool website does not acknowledge this trophy. But they do not wish to see the website. I have even sent the official website but they refuse to look at it. Perhaps you can assist. I am a neutral and I don't support neither club. It seems like its me verse subjective Liverpool supporters. The trophy is called sheriff of London charity shield.

Unfortunately this debate has been going on from yesterday. Manchester United supporters are agreeing with me , however Liverpool supporters are literally ignoring my evidence and are just undoing/reverting my changes, without any discussion. This is a really fierce rivalry for both supporters, I really don't think this will come to an end. If you look at the edits history, you can see I have produced tonnes of evidence and explanations, but it is literally ignored unfortunately :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by HMD 1315 ( talk • contribs) 17:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Okay I will add my evidence on the talk page, the evidence I was referring to was in the edits history page, where I was giving a summary for my edits, because I saw people talking and asking me stuff over there. Thank you so much for your advice, I will definitely heed everything you have said. Sorry for my misjudgements. Really appreciate your assitance :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HMD 1315 ( talk • contribs) 17:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

See here. That IP had already been blocked for socking, and as noted the first edit summary pretty much admits it.

I agree that my edit of this page ("James was the first African American born in the United States") does seem redundant. The reason that it should be edited, though, is that the term African American, is often used in Canada. Yes, African Canadian is commonly seen and heard as well, but African American is often taken to mean a North American of African descent--usually from the United States or Canada. While there is a link to the page on Willie O'Ree near the bottom of the article under "See also", one could easily assume that James was the first Black player in the league. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graham.pub ( talk • contribs) 17:42, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, this is just of curiosity, since you said me calling other editors who removed sourced content and added fake sourcing "vandals" constitutes personal attacks, how do you feel about me being called "pro-Putinist" and "whitewasher of war crimes". Are these OK? I'm trying my best to ignore them, but I wasn't aware that AE is a place were such abuse is condoned. Anonimu ( talk) 20:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey there, thanks for closing my incident report over at WP:ANI. I really appreciate it but I don't really agree with some of the phrasing you used in the conclusion. You mention "All parties were edit warring" yet the entire discussion never mentioned me 'edit warring' or reverting edits and that was never up for contention implicitly either. I was accused of other things but not edit warring that I'm aware of. ★Ama TALK CONTRIBS 16:39, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I wanted to follow up on this comment you made yesterday. The user appears to be engaged in edit warring on another page with the same user again. 1 2 3 4 I believe 68.234.69.27 and 68.234.69.28 are the same user, as they edit the same pages in the same unsourced manner, including the edit warring. I thought it best to bring up to you given the firm warring you gave, and that the user had received a warning for edit warring on their talk page already.

Hi,
With regards to your recent improvements to the lead you need to tighten things a little more please. The success of Love Me Do led to them releasing a second single, Please Please Me. And the success of that single prompted EMI to push for the album of the same name. Atm it just jars. And besides, I did prefer it as it was but if you feel the need then please get it right.

Hi, there's been a problem with a petition on the ANI board. I see you're active on the ANI board as an admin, so I hope you might be able to help with it. This is the petition: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1097#User:Tennisedu
It was archived earlier today, automatically, due to 72 hours of inactivity. We, the petitioners, were not aware of the 72-hour rule and we were simply waiting for our petition to be seen by an admin. So is there any way at this point to reopen the ANI? Some of those involved may not even know what's happened to the petition; and none of us are clear about what's been decided, concerning the dispute. It would be ideal if we could reopen the ANI and at least finish our discussion, so everyone is clear; or if reopening is not possible, to have a quick discussion somewhere, ideally with an admin, about how to go forward. Appreciate any help, or advice, you'd be able to give. Krosero ( talk) 02:16, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Dear Admin, I was just going through this page Kushwaha, I think it needs addition of certain contents and even some corrections. But I see the page has been locked for some 2-3 months and there is no active talk page discussion or anything going on it. It would be very helpful if you can suggest what to do here. I would request for removing of Admin lock as there is no active discussion and so definitely chances of disruption is low. In my view, 2- 3 months lock is very big. I would be very grateful if you can see into it. RS6784 ( talk) 18:38, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Jayron, just contacting you as I am at a loss to know what to do here. There was a discussion on the MoS talkpage regarding the usefulness of passive voice, and the result of this was the removal of any language indicating the passive should not be employed in wikipedia. Unfortunately, the anon user whose interventions triggered the whole stramash is continuing to edit in the same way, and rejects suggestions that there is any problem with this. Any advice you could give about ways forward, with or without your admin hat on?

The user appears to be engaged in edit warring on another page with the same user again. 1 2 3 4 I believe 68.234.69.27 and 68.234.69.28 are the same user, as they edit the same pages in the same unsourced manner, including the edit warring. I thought it best to bring up to you given the firm warring you gave, and that the user had received a warning for edit warring on their talk page already.

I'm still learning so please be patient. Shouldn't this be speedy deleted? I've seen a few try to edit it and it seems like a waste of time. -- ARose Wolf 13:21, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I see you're doing a lot of good work at ANI--thank you for that. Drmies ( talk) 15:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC) |
Hi,
With regards to your recent improvements to the lead you need to tighten things a little more please. The success of Love Me Do led to them releasing a second single, Please Please Me. And the success of that single prompted EMI to push for the album of the same name. Atm it just jars. And besides, I did prefer it as it was but if you feel the need then please get it right. Thanks Patthedog ( talk) 17:14, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, there's been a problem with a petition on the ANI board. I see you're active on the ANI board as an admin, so I hope you might be able to help with it. This is the petition: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1097#User:Tennisedu
It was archived earlier today, automatically, due to 72 hours of inactivity. We, the petitioners, were not aware of the 72-hour rule and we were simply waiting for our petition to be seen by an admin. So is there any way at this point to reopen the ANI? Some of those involved may not even know what's happened to the petition; and none of us are clear about what's been decided, concerning the dispute. It would be ideal if we could reopen the ANI and at least finish our discussion, so everyone is clear; or if reopening is not possible, to have a quick discussion somewhere, ideally with an admin, about how to go forward. Appreciate any help, or advice, you'd be able to give. Krosero ( talk) 02:16, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello I started a new talk page on the RFC, since you are a regular there I was wondering if you could contribute your opinions to it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:C80B:2D00:44D9:A6D5:9499:B1E7 ( talk) 02:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:C80B:2D00:4812:C99C:7BAD:92EE ( talk)

Stop assuming nationalities you absolute donkey!! 82.20.137.139 ( talk) 05:31, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Dear Admin, I was just going through this page Kushwaha, I think it needs addition of certain contents and even some corrections. But I see the page has been locked for some 2-3 months and there is no active talk page discussion or anything going on it. It would be very helpful if you can suggest what to do here. I would request for removing of Admin lock as there is no active discussion and so definitely chances of disruption is low. In my view, 2- 3 months lock is very big. I would be very grateful if you can see into it. RS6784 ( talk) 18:38, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Jayron, just contacting you as I am at a loss to know what to do here. There was a discussion on the MoS talkpage regarding the usefulness of passive voice, and the result of this was the removal of any language indicating the passive should not be employed in wikipedia. Unfortunately, the anon user whose interventions triggered the whole stramash is continuing to edit in the same way, and rejects suggestions that there is any problem with this. Any advice you could give about ways forward, with or without your admin hat on?

Happy First Edit Day! Hi Jayron32! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy 16th anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! Please accept the below invitation we forgot to give you last year. Chris Troutman ( talk) 19:52, 16 June 2022 (UTC) |
Dear Jayron32/Archive 38,
I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.
Best regards, Chris Troutman ( talk) 19:52, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
