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)

I'm sorry. I didn't knew I was doing it on purpose. Let me know what to undo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaserboyM2009 ( talk • contribs) 14:06, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
I fixed the errors. I also wanted to say that Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity sold 4 million units worldwide, so I have to update the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaserboyM2009 ( talk • contribs) 03:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Hey! So, just in case user Ss112 happens to read this, please do not reply, I'm her to seek out Serge's help alright. Serge, I don't understand, you see I made an edit to this article A Shape of Light, now before I added the album's full title in stylized form in parenthesis which user Ss112 removed, now I added it as [stylized name] simply known as "A Shape of Light" which also he removed. I don't understand, where are we supposed to mention it then? He says, it's not significant and stop this [Shape A] and [Shape B] versions crap. We do not get to decide what's significant or not, and user Ss112 is just copying and pasting the full title album from Apple Music without even confirming its authenticity, the full title name they added is wrong, and stylization too put aside, the name's still wrong. It's not the name officially published. If you check with the vinyl or the official website the full title is "a silent voice the movie" original sound track: a shape of light [Shape A]. They told me they'd report me if I made the same edit again, so I will not unless I gain consensus, please help with the topic. thank you! HimuTheEditor ( talk) 13:13, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
I just don't know how much longer editors are expected to tolerate others making the same edit and finding new ways to argue about while simultaneously restoring something they've had explained to them already multiple times. Himu is the sort of case WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT was made for. They are again making this same edit to Chaos and the Calm after several months of leaving the article alone. This edit in one form or another was reverted several times months ago. It's always one thing or another with them. It's incredibly tiring to see the same person being fixated on the same articles just when you think it was finally clear. I don't necessarily mind if you don't reply to this because I see Himu is already taking up your time with something you're not particularly familiar with above, but just to let you know I've given them a final warning because I think I'm really at my limit of patience here. Ss 112 12:08, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello.
I think there is a midunderstanding about our recent reverts. It's my fault if I tripped you up, because of my poorly worded edit summaries.
And editor first made the unsourced claim that [ https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=We_Are_Not_Your_Kind&diff=1064556405&oldid=1063766530 Michael Pfaff performed on the album. I reverted the change and gave a rational that wasn't entirely true. Michael Pfaff was Chris Fehn's replacement, but I contend Michael Pfaff joined the band after the recording of the album.
Your reverts are reinstating the claim that Michael Pfaff (not Fehn) performed on the album. So do you have a source that states Michael Pfaff performed on it?
...and I see now you have self-reverted. Terribly sorry for all the confusion. (I have more empty beer bottles in front of me than facts at the moment), but I can tell you there probably no source that confirms Pfaff is on the album since his own identity as "New Guy" is not yet completely confirmed.
Again sorry for the confusion I've caused. -- DB1729 ( talk) 01:22, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
You having blocked Morse Library is a great service to us all. He continuedly altered quotes and added unsubstantiated claims to many Chris Brown articles and made our job as editors a living hell. Thank you so much. Aardwolf68 ( talk) 06:34, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Serge. Sorry if you're busy—I haven't really had much time to look into either and I didn't realise until today there was a first message about it as when I come onto Wikipedia I sometimes go straight to my talk page so didn't get the notification—but two editors in the past couple of days have somehow found the thread on Morce Library on my talk page and decided to notify me that he's back to the same behaviour after being unblocked. What is indisputable from his edits is that he's engaged in an edit war over various Chris Brown album articles, which is definitely not a good look after his block regardless of whom the other editor might be. Ss 112 14:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi mr. serge. How do i need to be more careful with my wording? Sources not only say that it was his highest debuting album, but also that it's his only album that went platinum. That makes it his most sold and highest charting album. And that overall means literally that it's his most "commercially successful" album. I can't see how my statement was not supported by these stuff-- Diana7800 ( talk) 14:39, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm not really interested in continuing the training of the editor who is adding WP:EASTEREGGs to and removing content from the lead of Projected. Any chance you have a few cycles to help? Walter Görlitz ( talk) 21:43, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello. User:Aardwolf68 has been warned 2 times on January 15 ( 1 and 2) for vandalizing by using misleading edit summaries, afterwards he has been caught from then several other times, by you and others, having the same disruptive behavior. His other unchecked reverts are massive vandalisms as well, for example; inexplicably removing wikilinks and updates of this album being certified triple platinum on the lead section, adding completely unsourced reviews, removing lots of references and messing Italics, removing some other valid edits on the lead. Please, somebody gotta stop his disruption-- 109.52.244.215 ( talk) 11:27, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, please protect Bite Me (song), the id 120.29.70.19 always add Alternative Airplay chart, but according to WP:Charts, if a song has charted on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, it can't add Hot Alternative chart. I don't know what's wrong with the id? Besides, Brightside (The Lumineers song) also have the same situation, please help me solve it, thanks!. Tim96144 ( talk) 07:46, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
That is odd. My response to a concern has been removed and all trace of it wiped from the Edit history. Daltonsatom ( talk) 00:09, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
The Intellivision Amico article seems to be under surveillance by fans and known employees of the company. Specifically, user Guidoman is obviously Guido Henkel who self-identifies as "Principal Software Engineer at Intellivision." This appears to contravene Wikipedia policies and practices regarding self-promotion. I know you are already aware of the possibility of puppets on this page, but this company seems particularly prone to it, as the community has already had to remind at least one other user of this rule. Spyrus ( talk) 18:43, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Serge. This is the like the third or so time I've explained to IAmAnIndividual on their talk page about images. First I said they should not be seeking to replace cover artworks that don't have something wrong with them, as there is a whole encyclopedia they could be focused on contributing to, including a whole WikiProject that has listed every album article that does not have a cover on it they could help out on. They ignored this advice. They appear to have slowed down their replacement of images, but are now using unofficial sources/potential edits by random Internet users of images as the sources for their images, like Fandom.com, Last.fm and then simply citing an artist's SoundCloud account as the source for an image without a Parental Advisory sticker even though it appears they've just edited out the sticker themselves because there is no such image at the website. I've explained why this is wrong to do but I don't see this stopping as it's the majority of their edits and reason for being here. Bizarrely, they have a whole list on their user page dedicated to listing which articles they've replaced/uploaded the cover art for, as if this is some kind of achievement or major contribution to the article. Would you be able to have a word to them? I'm sure if you look at any of their recent uploads, you'll be able to see the dubious sources they've been using. Ss 112 07:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi, are you still supporting this editor? He has decided Sputnik Music is unreliable on the back of one comment at RSN and is redirecting album articles that rely both on it and Allmusic so he can redrect at a fast rate. The speed of his redirects have been questioned by another admin on his talkpage. Also at AFD he has obviously not followed WP:BEFORE as he has speedy closed about five Afds in quick succession because sources have been easily found, imv Atlantic306 ( talk) 23:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi, he speedy closed these Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Loudblast (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heavenly (French band), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sacred Rite (band), and withdrew nomination on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blink of an Eye (Enchant album), and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sylvan (band). The ones he closed himself left no information of the AfD on the article talkpages, regards Atlantic306 ( talk) 00:28, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm contacting you because I noticed that you previously blocked Yoga Widya 1994 for spamming links from Anime News Network indiscriminately into articles. I've notified them in the past about copying/pasting copyrighted stuff as well (see their talk page). Honestly I had forgotten about that user, but I just saw that someone added a random Indonesian site reference to the intro of a featured article ( Audie Murphy), and a glance at their contributions list showed that it's the same person up to the same old thing, indiscriminately adding links from questionable sites (lately dramabeans.com, tirto.id), and copy/pasting Google Translated sentences without attribution into articles. Don't know if it's a competence issue or willful spamming, but maybe we can agree that it's time for them to stop? Thanks for taking a look. Indignant Flamingo ( talk) 08:39, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi Serge. Earlier I reported Britneyspears782 ( talk · contribs) for vandalism and genre warring and they were blocked. It appears they re-registered almost immediately and returned to Night Call (album) with Cookiefullofpoo3 and added one of the unsourced genres they were arguing over earlier. I've reported their username as a lame attempt to be crass at WP:UAA but was hoping you could protect the page so these obvious new/sock accounts can't genre war. Thanks. Ss 112 13:17, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Hey Serge. Would you be able to block 1.145.159.39 ( talk · contribs)? This is clear block evasion by 124.149.226.118 ( talk · contribs), which was blocked by ToBeFree on January 22—just see the same edit summaries. This user has been around for the last couple of years on various IP addresses removing valid Australian chart positions from discographies with the usual edit summary "[song title] failed to/2 top the charts in Australia" despite this making no sense, as the chart positions they're removing are not number ones and are usually sourced. Last month, they also used 14.2.39.60 ( talk · contribs) but this range hasn't been used in over two weeks. Ss 112 13:16, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
