User:Fan of talent/DR

Wow, I've been reading those you helped... You're fast. Hello. We recently posted information that was deleted. Can you please help me retrieve the document. The name is under "Dion Rambo". Deleted last night, November 11. Thank you, oh sooo much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fan of talent (talk • contribs) 18:21, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Done, to the above link :) Alex Muller 00:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Confusing page... Is it still confusing?

Hi. If I am reading the change logs right, you left a confusing tag in the article Alpha beta filter back on July 3. I have posted a revision... oh heck, it turned into almost a complete rewrite. This may have addressed your concerns, but I can't be sure... maybe it only made things worse. If you have time, you might want to take a look.

Could you recover a deleted article for me?

You're on the list of editors willing to recover deleted articles. The article List of notable people who wore the bowler hat has been deleted prematurely before there was consensus. It's being argued over now. See: [1] Could you please recover it in the meantime, as we have no copy surviving? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/List_of_notable_people_who_wore_the_bowler_hat Thanks!

Trouble with Photos

To the Talk Room, I'm sorry...my last post just merged with the prior one. I apologize to Alex and the correspondents as well.

Alex,

These four ARE the links to the four photos themselves:

Denis Photo#1.jpg

Denis Photo#2.jpg

Denis Photo #3.jpg

Denis Photo #4.jpg

I uploaded #1 into Commons but nothing happened, when I tried to insert it into the article.

I didn't try anything with the other three yet. Once I succeed with #1, I will simply replicate the steps.

I USED the nomenclature you suggested, but this is all that happened:

I just got a red box saying "Image: Denis photo"

What do you suggest?

Thanks!

MBernal615 (talk) 10:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC))

Talking about it on your talk page :) Alex Muller 10:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice!

Alex,

What's your username on Commons? Also, try the right hand side of Commons:Help:Contents as it might explain some stuff. If you're still having trouble, ask at Commons:Commons:Help desk as they'll be better suited to helping you - I'm by no means an expert on Commons. Cheers, Alex Muller 13:53, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

THANKS!

That's exactly the kind of help I needed. I'll get on it.

Really appreciate it,

Signature

Hey Alex. I changed my signature using parts of yours. Just wanted to ask whether that's okay with you? :) Best wishes, — Aitias // discussion 21:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine... I'm typically fairly relaxed about things like that (which means it takes a lot to bother me :p). Have a good day, Alex Muller 01:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. :) — Aitias // discussion 11:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Signature

Hey my name's Alex too! Okay, Aitias referred me to you to fix my signature with a lightly drawn box around it. can you show me how to do it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex Bieser (talk • contribs) 21:34, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! Well, the code I have in Special:Preferences (with the "Raw signature" box checked) is:

<small><b><span style="border:1px solid #20406F;padding:1px 3px;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">[[User talk:Alex.muller|<font color="#20406F">Alex Muller</font>]]</span></b></small>

To talk through it: the small and b are just for style (self-explanatory), the span is the section surrounding the signature (in which border adjusts the size and colour - using hex), the middle part is the link to my talk page, followed by the font color to style the way the text appears. Basically, I'd advise you to just mess around, enter ~~~~ on any page and use the "Show preview" button.

For example, you could create Main Page or Help!, using edit this page to see the code needed. Let me know if you have any technical, specific questions and I'll do my best to help. Hope this wasn't too long...

All the best, Alex Muller 22:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Requesting 5 articles which were deleted

Hello Alex, as you know, you are listed as an administrator who can provide deleted articles to a user.

I am requesting 5 articles, listed here with the admins closing reason [never mind about Rollac]:

• Newton Howard Delete all except Center for Advanced Defense Studies, for which there seems to be no consensus.. Lankiveil (speak to me) 08:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
• Rollac delete as hoax, block creator as hoaxer. DS (talk) 15:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
• The Illegal Waste delete Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 12:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
• SCORES Broadcast delete J.delanoygabsadds 04:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• FilePile.com delete J.delanoygabsadds 04:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• Nonpseudoscience delete J.delanoygabsadds 04:36, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

From: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2008 November 15

If I could please also get the creator's name and date it was created?

You can add all 5 pages to a userspace, lets say User:Inclusionist/Newton Howard.

I really appreciate it. You are probably wondering why I ask. Well, I have spent my weekend on a graph found here: User:Inclusionist/AfD on average day. I am interested in what type of user gets their page deleted, etc....November 15 is just a day pulled out of a hat by another user today.

I notice that you have saved 3 articles on your user page that you saved. You maybe interested in the WP:Article Rescue Squadron. Everyday these valiant editors save articles. We would really be happy to have you.

I also noticed you have less than 10,000 edits and you are already an admin. Impressive. Thank you. travb (talk) 08:51, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey – sorry it took me so long to get back to you, it's been a busy week. I've restored five of those to the userspace (with the same names). Please let me know if you no longer want them and I'll get rid of them for you. All the best, Alex Muller 13:03, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry so long in response, since I don't keep a watchlist, I just recently noticed you added this info. Thank you Ikip (talk) 16:01, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

To Alex,

at what school event did you take Dr.Stephens picture?? --86.160.201.29 (talk) 16:12, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Saving delted articles

The last 20 or so, maybe not quite that many, articles I created were all deleated. I am trying to find someone who will help me resore these articles. For right now I am just hoping to be able to get copies of the text of these articles that I can deal with in revision. It is just too daunting of a thought to recreate these last few articles totally from thin air. I was hoping you could send me userfied versions of these articles or whatever the procedure is. The articles include articles on Richard I. Kimball, Dennis A. Wright, Brent L. Nielsen, J. LeRoy Kimball, Goerge W. Givens, Marie Cornwall (who I really think should never have been deleted) and several others.

What is really frustrating me is that there is no way to even see which articles I created have been deleted since when an article is delted for some reason all your contributions to it are no longer listed. This I find quite frustrating.Johnpacklambert (talk) 23:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi John. If you send me an email using the "E-mail this user" link in the left hand navigation bar, I'll be happy to send you the contents of the articles (provided they weren't deleted for any untoward reasons) - I just don't want to recreate 20 deleted articles in user space. Being able to see deleted articles is an administrator privilege in case the contents of the articles were sensitive in any way (e.g. containing insults, vandalism or other damaging statements). In any case, I hope this will help. Many thanks for getting in touch, Alex Muller 11:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Userfication of deleted content for page "Averaging Lemma"

Hi

Yesterday, I created a page under URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Averaging_lemma This page discussed an important lemma in both complexity theory and cryptography.

I was to add more content, links, references, etc. today, just to find that it's been deleted under speedily.

I found your name in "Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles". Could you please recover the content (or provide me with a copy), so that I make it appropriate for the Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sadeq (talk • contribs) 12:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

My page deletion.

Hi, I wrote a page yesterday called Jayphace and it was nominated for speedy deletion because it did not meet the requirements for this site evidently. I went to look at the deletion information and it was deleted by Alexf, (the name is spelled exactly as it's read) who is an administrator on here. I don't know if that's you, but I would at least like an e-mail of my work sent to [e-mail] if possible. Is there a way to get the information that I put on here before it was erased? In addition to that I would like to state that I've read various Wikipedia articles that contained references to many things from complex scientific theories to celebrities plans for their next pointless project that may state to be announced (TBA) and may not have direct references attached to them. I have come across articles that were full, but there was a note at the top of the page that stated that the page did not have any references. Some things in the article had little to no significance when it came to a particular subject matter and none of those in particular are up for speedy deletion. I wasn't even given a full day to go back and site references for my article, and I know I wasn't given a fair advantage based on that. I do admit I am a novice user on Wikipedia, but I am very computer literate and I spent a great deal of time doing research before I even wrote the article. I know that Wikipedia is for people gaining control over information that they receive because other ways to get certain information to the masses with a traditional level encyclopedia requires more effort and requires more action than logging on to a website and editing on here. I also want to note that I am not someone who plans to come on here and maliciously edit articles or provide misinformation to people who seek genuine knowledge about anything they may choose. I am not someone who deserved my article taken off without notice because people with administrative power on this site want to use the power they have for malice against another user just because they can. I believe that this site is supposed to be used for a positive purpose and the people who created it and continue to create should have more warning before a page becomes deleted, especially because it didn't even get a chance to receive any kind of fame whatsoever. If I am mistaken on this level, please let me know why because this is not encouraging for anyone who may wants to make this site better in every way. This has not been taken lightly.

MidSTAR II article

Your name was referenced on a response to an edit to the subject article on 3 July 2008. I made that edit, which essentially replaced the entire article with the statement "The MidSTAR-II program has been canceled due to lack of funds." This statement is accurate; there is not and will never be a MidSTAR II satellite. The vague and uninformative statements in the article were originally posted by students working under me on development of the mission. There is no chance that the article will ever evolve into a useful posting that meets Wikipedia's standards. I recommend that the article be deleted altogether.

Billy R. Smith, Jr., PhD Former Director of the US Naval Academy Small Satellite Program Usnassp (talk) 21:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I've done that for you. The article should be gone within seven days. Cheers, Alex Muller 12:00, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I removed the deletion proposal on MidSTAR II (USNA) and made the article a redirect to USNA MidSTAR Program. The article MidSTAR II (USNA) is four years old, has articles that link to it, and is about a still notable, if historic, part of the program. -Colfer2 (talk) 05:26, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Musicians Institute article

I welcome you help.

Here are just a few facts and sources. If Wikipedia is indeed a fact-based research source, and not a public forum for biased-based advertising for promotional use; I trust that my edits will be restored. Corrected formatting/context help would be appreciated, but removal of fact-based contend shows bias for “puffery.” My expertise is in research in music education. I assist students is choosing music schools. Schools like Musicians Institute, in my opinion, porously mislead potential and current students, epically in the credibility of any degree earned at this school. Please help the young music student that is researching a music school get more complete fact-based information, not as I stated before, biased puffery.”

Extended content

General “Private for-profit” is an official classification, not an opinion. Anything else misrepresents the schools classification. “Primarily Associates” http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?id=119270#general Not even classified as a “college. ” Carnegie Classification: “Special Focus Institutions--Schools of art, music, and design” http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?id=119270#finaid Accreditation As a “College” Musicians Institute, and any “degrees” from Musicians Institute, hold no regional accreditation (the United States standard for schools, colleges and university accreditation): In the United States, the standard for K-12 schools, colleges and universities is regional accreditation. Schools located in California fall under the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Musicians Institute holds absolutely no regional accreditation. This can be confirmed at http://www.acswasc.org/directory_search.cfm and http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?id=119270#accred . National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) accreditation: NASM is not a college or university accreditation body. NASM only accredits music programs, whether they are a “mom and pop’s” sole-ownership business up to a music program at a regionally accredited university. Further, many “high-end” colleges and university music programs’ choose not participate in NASM accreditation. One way to confirm this, using California (MI’s home state) as an example, check any University of California’s music program, one will find that no UC wishes to be involved. Musicians Institute is only accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music only up to two years (vocational/associates degree). This can also be confirmed at http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?id=119270#accred . High Tuition According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Musicians Institutes' tuition and fees for 2009-2010 are $27,100.00, up 15.3% from 2008-2009, and books and supplies are up 4.6% at $2,184.00. A total of $29,284.00 a year. This can be confirmed at: http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?id=119270#expenses . NCES also states that the average yearly net price in 2008-2009; "Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees, books and supplies, and the weighted average for room and board and other expenses" of attending Musicians Institute was $38,678.00. Low Faculty Pay “Faculty salaries at Musicians Institute vary approximately from $21,000 to $22,000. The average full-time faculty salary at this college is approximately $22,000 a year -- this is 75% lower than California average faculty compensation.” This can be confirmed at: http://www.american-school-search.com/faculty/musicians-institute . This site states that, “We currently evaluate the colleges listed on our website using a standardized system of measurement that can contain up to 88 unique factors and criteria about each specific school. These have been collected from public data sources released by the US Department of Education.” See: http://www.american-school-search.com/ . Averaged annual income for a person in the United States, working full, who did not complete the 9th grade can be found here: http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d09/tables/dt09_384.asp . Relevance: “As a rule, well-compensated instructors are better motivated and have more opportunities to concentrate on teaching; therefore, we consider faculty compensation to be an important factor for evaluating education quality.” See: http://www.american-school-search.com/faculty/musicians-institute Faculty Education Level A review of MI’s website, www.mi.edu will show that very few faculty members actually have a university degree. Alumni If an alumni’s name is used, it would be misleading to not use the alumni’s own words, if available, about the school. Jeff Buckley once told Rolling Stone magazine about Musicians Institue, "I wanted to 'learn to be a better musician,' and it was the biggest waste of time I had ever seen." http://www.jeffbuckley.com/rfuller/buckley/words/features/rs-sonalsorises.html

Change to Casey Anthony page

I am trying to make an alteration to a page, but it is locked. I was told I needed to find an adminstrator to make the change so I found you.

I think the page for Casey Anthony should not link to the wikipedia page for the crime which she is currently on trial for. An ongoing trial should not be reported in wikipedia and searches for suspects should not lead directly to their crime. This is in my opinion a REALLY important issue for due process of law and wikipedia does not intend to interfere with this.

I recommend that if there needs to be a page in wikipedia for Casey Anthony at all, it should link to a page in wikinews.

I have discussed this in more detail on the page [Death_of_Caylee_Anthony].

Can you please change the redirect for me. If people think that it should be changed back, then that can be done afterwards. With a woman literally about to go on death row, this needs to be altered.

If you cannot or do not want to do this, please tell me where I can learn about wikipedia's policy on discussion of open legal investigations. Surely this should be linked to a news site, not an encyclopedia.

I haven't tried to make ammendments to the Casey Anthony site yet, although I think it should be changed. I don't know whether this will be possible for me.

Thanks in anticipation of your help, Charlie Chogg (talk) 23:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Charlie - I see you've already engaged in discussion around this on the article's talk page, and there have been a load of really good replies. I'd have to agree: all Wikipedia does is act as a place to publish things that are already currently notable (in this case, in the news). I'm afraid it's not my place to stomp in and help.

JasperWallace (talk) 18:06, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Cool, great to see somebody take this on and get the article going! Totally agree with what you wrote here by the way, it really annoys me that somebody deleted the page within three minutes of you creating it (this is also utter rubbish, he really shouldn't be an administrator). Sorry about that, and thanks for persisting. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with the page. Cheers, Alex Muller 19:56, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

The deleted Article

So, hi again. I would like to create an article "Baku White City", which was deleted in April 2011. The 'Edit' page says to contact you about whether I can or cannot write an article with the same name. I also did not understand why "http://en.trend.az/capital/realest/1710125.html" was referred to as "G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement" since it's a famous regional news website. The article I am planning to create is based upon printed material, such as books, booklets and international magazines.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeyla AS (talk • contribs) 19:59, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jayla - there's nothing necessarily to stop you creating an article with that name. What you can't do is simply copy and paste text or images from another website. At the bottom of your link it says "© TREND News Agency All rights reserved". If Wikipedia was to publish that article just copied and pasted, it would be guilty of copyright infringement. What you need to do is rewrite the important points of that article in your own words, and reference the article as a source.

If you want to create that article, you should first make sure it's notable enough - it should be mentioned in several different news articles or magazines, for example. Hope this helps. Cheers, Alex Muller 08:30, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Alex.muller,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at [e-mail] (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at [e-mail]. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

You said that anyone calling the new ipad "iPad 2S" was "bull" did you even look at the sources? DreamFieldArts (talk) 15:22, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I see one source on a site that's not exactly widely known that's speculating what the new iPad might be called the day before the event. Conclusive indeed -Alex Muller 16:04, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Death of Nelson Mandela

Hi Alex,

I thought I would ask you since you are familiar with the situation. Would you please assist me with the speedy deletion of Death and state funeral of Nelson Mandela so that I can move Death of Nelson Mandela to that title. I have updated Death of Nelson Mandela to include information pertaining to the funeral and I am currently following Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan, a good article, as a guideline. Also, thanks for closing the AFD.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Alex.muller. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Alex.muller.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:44, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

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)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.
