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)

Hope Memorial Bridge photo date

I assume you don't remember the source that you used to date (1988) the bridge photo way back in 2006, but, in any case, I've changed it to what I think is more accurate (c. 1970s), judging from the fact that I can't see 200 Public Square, assuming it's not behind the bridge support, and the fact that most of the HAER photos of Cleveland that I've seen were taken around then. Good? Mapsax (talk) 03:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. Guessing I pulled that date from the HAER data pages, which were prepared in February 1988. The photo captions in the survey don't include dates, though. The only date we know for certain is that the documentation was compiled after 1968. The Justice Center is visible in the photo, so late '70s/early '80s seems like a reasonable estimate. - Eureka Lott 19:36, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Only took me 15.5 years to catch it.... Mapsax (talk) 23:51, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for this. I wasn't sure how to handle the history of the earlier version outside a histmerge to put the article at the correct title. Cheers. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 01:27, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Hope Memorial Bridge

Re: this revert, I had no idea that subtopics which serve as redirects should appear in boldface in the lead—I thought that was only for alternate titles for the main subject. Any idea if this was a recent change to MOS:BOLDREDIRECT? Just curious. Thanks. Levdr1lp / talk 03:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

I suppose it depends on how you define recent. :) The guidance has been on that page since since 2013. - Eureka Lott 18:04, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 27

I don't think it is good practice to change a comment here after multiple people have edited the page. It may, however, be OK to add an additional comment to the post. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

My edit was entirely intentional. If I had changed the substance of my comments, I would have handled it differently—but in this case, it was merely an attempt to state the same position a bit more clearly. I will be reinstating the change. - Eureka Lott 18:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

• Reply - Fair enough. Hope all is well in Ohio. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:52, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. By the way, the next time you start a discussion about another editor at a noticeboard, it would be polite to let them know. - Eureka Lott 15:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines: "Large talk pages are difficult to read and load slowly over slow connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." – this talk page is 70.2 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a {{help me}} notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:26, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Removal of Draft

I am the same author who also requested deletion on Draft:Alex Breingan. I forgot my dam password and then regained access again. See my user page. User:AyrtonHolloway I declared this. I will also request deletion on this account. I declared this so this was my mistake. AyrtonHolloway (talk) 03:27, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

To restore two articles.

2 days ago 9 articles were deleted by an administrator which were created by Greenarm12 (Talk) which were sockpuppet of User:Ak131001, 2 of them (Arif Mehmood Alam and Sultan Ul Arfeen Siddiqui) had been reviewed but these 2 articles were also deleted. I think these 2 articles needs to remain published and I request to restore these two articles. 119.160.68.165 (talk) 04:52, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of Nano Land Kingdom

Hi, I'm wondering why my page was deleted? When there are plenty of other micronations on Wikipedia. How could I change any information to correct this issue so I can recreate this page. I'm new to Wikipedia so any information would be helpful. Thank you. And best wishes. Celestialbeing916 (talk) 03:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Two of Wikipedia's key policies are Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. That article failed to meet either of those policies. Please remember that Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. - Eureka Lott 03:49, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

CSD R3 comment

Hello again. I was going to comment about this anyway to whichever admin deleted the erroneous National Prescription Opiate Litigation redirect with the quotation marks, but it's helpful that we've already communicated before on other topics. What happened, and it must've happened before to other editors, is that I searched for the corresponding term in quotes, and then when there were no results, I clicked one of the redlinks to create the redirect, not realizing in my focus toward getting the redirect target correct that the quotes followed the words into the redlink. I have transcribed the generated statement from a dummy search below to illustrate this.

The page ""zxazxa"" does not exist. You can create a draft and submit it for review, or you may create the page ""zxazxa"" directly.

Note that the interior sets of double quotes are red, which is very subtle. I'm mentioning this because it might be considered a bug, though I realize that it's just a direct reiteration so it may not be recognized as one, which is why I haven't reported it as one. I do think that it should be addressed somehow to prevent what happened to me.

Mapsax (talk) 00:03, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

It took some digging, but I think I found the page that generates that message. It's MediaWiki:Searchmenu-new. Since it's in the MediaWiki namespace, only Wikipedia:Interface administrators can edit it. You could try raising the issue at the Wikipedia:Interface administrators' noticeboard and see what they say. - Eureka Lott 01:54, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your research. I'll read through the noticeboard archive to see if the concern's worth bringing up. (Aside: You may have noticed that my comments above about my not proofreading closely enough weren't proofread closely enough. No surprise there. Fixed. And I do preview frequently before publishing, believe it or not.) Mapsax (talk) 02:05, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Hush Hush

Hello @EurekaLott, I hope you're doing well. I see you decline my csd request. But is it necessary for a disambiguation in a Article title. I value your effort and time, and appreciate that you chose to action it. Thanks for your consideration, stay safe. C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 15:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Why did you delete the article? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 17:14, 12. Nov 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I deleted the article because it was an identical copy of the article that was deleted following a deletion discussion earlier this year. Please see WP:G4. - Eureka Lott 17:19, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
