Undo unexplained page moves
Alex, can you help me undo the mess that user has created and that I just compounded? The editor moved Help talk:Getting started to User:Dr.Sagi Satyanarayana. I submitted a technical request at WP:RMTR to reverse that move. The editor then also moved User talk:Saisagione to User:Dr. Sagi Sathyanarayana (note that this target contains a somewhat different spelling). I attempted to undo the latter move, but have now inadvertently moved it to Talk:Saisagione instead, and cannot overwrite the existing page User talk:Saisagione which contained a redirect.  General Ization Talk  05:30, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * (P.S - There are no actual Wikipedia user accounts named "Dr. Sagi Sathyanarayana" or "Dr. Sagi Satyanarayana". I'm really not clear on what the editor is trying to accomplish with these moves; perhaps an attempt at publishing an autobiography without understanding the difference between userspace and mainspace.)  General Ization  Talk  05:37, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I have done what you have asked: moved the mainspace talk page to the user talk page without leaving redirects. Alex Bakharev (talk) 05:48, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Alex.  General Ization Talk  14:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Traditio
Hey Alex, in 2006 you deleted this page, saying "nn-web". Do you mind taking another look and seeing if this article was about the journal Traditio (Cambridge Core link), or about something else? Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 03:10, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It was about the Catholic website, traditio.com, which, as far as I see, is a different thing.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:42, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I agree that it looks completely different. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:08, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I have not changed my opinion about the catholic site. If you are talking about https://traditio.wiki/ if sobeone could demonstrate that is passes WP:WEB I certainly have nothing against creating the article Alex Bakharev (talk) 00:37, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Помощь
Здравствуйте. Прошу Вашей помощи. Взгляните пожалуйста на эти статьи: Draft:Aviasales.ru, Draft:Victor Orlovski, Draft:Positive Technologies. Первая статья имеет статус хорошей в русской Википедии (дословный перевод); статья о Орловском - маленький стаб, где вкратце описана его биография (значимая персона); третья статья является переводом из русской Википедии, где статья существует уже более 10 лет и была признана значимой. Пожалуйста, окажите помощь! Спасибо! 93.77.161.95 (talk) 15:46, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

I guess this comes from a currently permabanned for the benefits of the non-Russian readers here is my understanding of the situation. A user translated from ru-wiki the article about one of the Russian largest air ticket aggregators Draft:Aviasales.ru and wrote or translated two related stabs. On ru-wiki the article was graded as Good article, but here it was considered a spam. I guess this is the difference is because of the expected readership. Most of users from Russia either use this aggregator or consider to use it and so they have some interest to its history and features, 99% of en-wiki readers do not and will not use it but very well aware of SEO efforts to promote internet sales. The company is certainly not the largest in Russia. The notability is only supported by Russian sources, etc. Thus, a large article about a hardly notable for the readers of en-wiki subject looks like spam and handled correspondingly. As the author so far has shown only interest to this company some sort of a Conflict of Interests cannot be excluded also.

Here are the questions:
 * Should we put some efforts and salvage the article or is it inherently not-notable?
 * The user looks like he or she could make positive contributions. Should I try to negotiate unbanning for him (maybe with the promise not to edit articles related to aviasales.ru?

Let's first discuss it here because I might be unaware of some important details Alex Bakharev (talk) 01:35, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Articles of Pogoń and Pagaunia
Hello, you recently locked the article of Pahonia as there was an intensive edit war. Now the Belarusian nationalists are fighting yet another edit war against recognized Wikipedians at the article of Pogoń: Onel5969 (his edit), Elmidae (his edit), and myself all expressed a clear opinion that it should be a redirect page because this article is worthless alone and is just another duplication of the article of the coat of arms of Lithuania. However, user Лобачев Владимир persistently fights an edit war with me and other Wikipedians there. By the way, the same user Лобачев Владимир is also pushing exactly the same thing at the article of Pagaunia, which I recently created as a redirect page, so it needs protection too in order to avoid an edit war. Best regards, -- Po  fk  a  (talk) 15:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems to be already taken care of. Alex Bakharev (talk) 04:05, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggest locking Pahonia once again as Belarusian Лобачев Владимир, already known for edit warring, is persistently reinserting unrelated information and images of unrelated horse riders (Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, etc.) to the section "Grand Duchy of Lithuania" (e.g. one, two), so I think yet another edit war begins in this article. -- Po  fk  a  (talk) 18:24, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Help with coding
Hello, I've never done coding in my life but I'd like to add some topics at User:AlexNewArtBot/Romania, page that you created. I did two changes, I imagine the first one is correct but I don't know about the second one. I'd also like to add several topics relevant for Romania: Aromanian(s), Vlach(s), Megleno-Romanian(s), Istro-Romanian(s) and Morlach(s). These are all Eastern Romance peoples related to Romanians that aren't really included in any other WikiProject or alert page. I hope you can help me out with this. Thanks in advance. Super  Ψ   Dro  20:04, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The new page classification is now done by InceptionBot operated by User:Bamyers99 but the syntaxes of the rule pages is the same. I was trying to accomodate your request by this edit, I saw you currectly added a rule for Transilvania yourself. Let's wait for possible abnormalities in the next few cycles of the bot, otherwise the mission is accomplished Alex Bakharev (talk) 00:20, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the help. I did again some changes to add all the templates that there are for the Balkan Romance languages (Romanian, Moldovan, two for Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian) and also to add Transnistria and all alternate names. These are the last I pretend to do. Are they correct? . Super   Ψ   Dro  09:18, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Request regarding your full protection of Roman Protasevich
Hi there. I'm wondering why full protection was applied on Roman Protasevich today. Looking through the history, it appears that after semi-protection expired on 2 June 2021, that an IP made two vandal edits. I think that the article is likely a magnet for anonymous IP trolls, but I'm wondering why this sort of disruption would justify prohibiting, say, extended-confirmed editors from making edits to the page until 11 June 2021. There was certainly a lot of disruption on the page by more experienced between its creation on 23 May and the end of May, though it appears to have subsided by the end of the month. I'm wondering if you would be willing to lower the protection level on the page to extended-confirmed, in light of the nature of more recent disruption. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It was my mistake, I have used TW automatic tool and selected semiprotection but for some reason the tool appliyed full protection. I hope I have fixed it now Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:04, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

WP:BOLD on Vadim Backman
Hi, this is a notice that I exercised WP:BOLD and removed the notability tag from Vadim Backman. I realize that there was no link to this google scholar, which I have added now. In my view it is a clear-cut pass of WP:PROF based on his high citation metrics in peer-reviewed scholarly publications. If you feel like I'm in the wrong, feel free to reinsert the tag and we can continue the discussion on the article's talk page. Cheers! nearlyevil 665  08:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Have you seen their edit history? Seems to warrant a bit more than the level 1 you just gave them, no? Brycehughes (talk) 01:46, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

I gave him a final warning. I am still not sure if it is trolling or newbish incompetence. I assumed the later so gave him one more chance. Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:33, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's fair. I'm not sure that it's either... I have a feeling it's more just like a bizarre obsession that should be stopped. I reported them to AIV, which will be flushed eventually so I'll see what happens. Anyway thanks and enjoy your vacation. Brycehughes (talk) 02:39, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:05, 7 December 2021 (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)
