Hello, TarnishedPath. Per your request, your account has beengrantedtemporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals usingtemporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that isonly to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to reviewWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed atFoundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Accessmust not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or moreIP addresses (using theCIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visitingSpecial:Preferences. Happy editing!—Femke 🐦 (talk)16:52, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A goodstory today, about a mezzo as a thinking person, DYK? - see also video. Thank you for the promotion! (The nomination wasn't by me, which probably helped to a mercifully short review.)

Happy birthday,Margaret Medlyn! (I found the article - not by me - when searching for someone whose birthday is today.) - I took acat pic, presented by Rosiestep today. --Gerda Arendt (talk)16:12, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you should really do (and have done) a histmerge of the older article turned redirect with the newer article, as they were about the same person. Can you please correct this? The history that needs merging is atUser:Sophia swatosh/sandbox.Fram (talk)09:12, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
