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)

Hello, Mindmatrix,

I'm no checkuser but I believe this editor you blocked has returned as User:Andyyeung124500. I have blocked them for ban evasion. Liz Read! Talk! 02:22, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

User:TzarN64
Hello!

I'm here because the dramaboards suck and you have had the unlucky honor of being at the top of the recently active admins list.

@TzarN64 (pinging so they can respond) has been.. er, incompetent is not the right word, and I'm not sure how to phrase this in a way that doesn't lead to me being boomeranged for personal attacks, but. I'll just let the diffs-n-links speak for themselves.

- Blanking their talk page and replacing it with insult over, presumably, Articles for deletion/Return YouTube Dislike

- "fuck off" and "stop ruining my article"

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games, Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1142 - really impatient about a merge even after being told to be patient

User_talk:107.77.192.122 - pretty self explanatory

Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1143 - copyright is apparently not real

I really don't know what to do here, to be honest. casualdejekyll 14:37, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my edit in the page about Age of majority, I didn't notice what I wrote was already stated at the end of the paragraph. Thank you again. 151.36.12.92 (talk) 15:51, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Why do you reverted my changes? If you explain I won't make the same mistake again. Duke of Wikipädia (talk) 01:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Very little of that edit made sense. Changing 'several decades' to 'sundry decades' and 'The mill stopped operating because of decreased timber rafting' to 'The mill stopped working given to the lower timber rafting' are two examples. Do you honestly think the phrase 'The home of the Breakey's household' is better than 'The residences of the Breakey family'? Mind  matrix  02:10, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Well I must acknowledge that it was indeed a fruitless attempt to bring back some fancy words. Thanks for your reply! Duke of Wikipädia (talk) 02:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Unimatrix


A tag has been placed on Unimatrix, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
