Talk:dotmobile | Requesting feedback

[edit]

Thank you for edits on the Dotmobile page. Requesting any feedback that could aid in speedy review and publishing of the page. Thanks. --WindowPlant96 (talk)18:06, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,WindowPlant96. The fact that the article has not yet been approved may be at least partly because the information in it is mainly about things that are planned and announced for the future, rather than facts about what the company has actually done. If the company's products are still in development it may beWikipedia:Too soon.
To comply with Wikipedia's requirements (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)), and to confirm the accuracy of information, a company has to have been written about extensively by journalists and/or other independent authors in published documents. Press releases, or articles which just copy information from press releases saying something like "according to company sources", or quotes of comments made by company officials in interviews, don't help, because they are not independent.
It's surprising how much difference there can be between what company representatives think is important for the public to know and what independent writers find interesting enough to research and write about.
To improve the article's chances of passing a review, I suggest that you check the current references, and if they are based on material spoken or written by the company's staff, remove them and find articles written instead by business or tech reporters.(I didn't see anything in the Toronto Star, the Toronto Sun, the National Post or the Globe and Mail.) If you don't find anything, you may want to wait until there is more coverage. If you succeed in finding some, then change the tone of the draft so that there is less of "aims to" "announced", and "under development" and more "this happened" and "that was reported", to avoid the appearance that the purpose of the draft is to promote the company (perWP:PROMOTION).—Anne Delong (talk)20:45, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

  • Following arequest for comment,partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped atWikipedia:Partial blocks.
  • Therequest for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed withwide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news

  • Twinkle now supportspartial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template:{{uw-pblock}}.
  • When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title.[1]

Arbitration

  • Following arecent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administratorsthat checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

I have revised this article that was immediately denied by someone that appears to have a history of just denying articles immediately with little reason. This is regarding Mark Johnson the banjo player. I am looking for feedback on if the page is acceptable or if it needs further revision. I have corrected the concerns addressed in the first denial. Thank you for any help.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mark_Johnson_(musician)— Precedingunsigned comment added byHarpgear (talkcontribs)02:22, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,Harpgear. This draft interests me and I may be able to improve it. However, I have been working on two music projects in real life right now, plus I am in the middle of improving another draft, so it may be a few days before I can get to it.—Anne Delong (talk)17:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much!!!! —Harpgear (talk)—Precedingundated comment added22:15, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay,Harpgear, I have fixed it up and accepted it. It needed a lot of changes - not enough facts in the body of the article, too much promotional language and namedropping for a neutral encyclopedia article, and some superfluous information that was about the awards rather than about Johnson. Most of the references were not to independent sources - company blogs in particular always have an agenda. I had no trouble finding news articles to use instead.—Anne Delong (talk)08:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anne, could you tell me why my submission for Douglas Wilson was declined?— Precedingunsigned comment added byThumper1001 (talkcontribs)12:30, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,Thumper1001. I can't find a submission called "Douglas Wilson" in the Draft area, but I did find a short paragraph in your sandbox here:User:Thumper1001/sandbox. Is this what you are talking about? It's the only thing I can find in your contributions.
Sandboxes are just for experimenting, so no one would notice what you wrote there unless you notified them about it. However, if this is the "submission" you are talking about, it would in no way be suitable for an encyclopedia article. For one thing, it has a long phrase taken from a press release in the Globe and Mail, which would be a copyright issue. For another thing, it's written more as a CV than as a biography. Thirdly, Wikipedia has inclusion criteria (read about them here:Wikipedia:Notability (people). To show that Mr. Wilson is well-enough known to be the subject of a world-wide encyclopedia article, his life and activities must have been written about extensively in books, magazines, news reports, business journals, etc., by authors or journalists who are not connected with the companies and organizations with which he's connected (ie, not press releases or company documents). The article has to include references to these sorts of things to demonstrate this to the other Wikipedia editors. Here's an example of an article with appropriate references -Alan Gertner; if you click on "edit" and look at the code you can see how these are added.
If this is not the one that you mean, please indicate the exact name of the page you submitted.

I hope this helps.—Anne Delong (talk)13:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help with AfC submission!! Thank you for your time!!

[edit]

Hello Anne,

I'm fairly new to wiki, and created this draft about Yiannis Papadopoulos (guitarist) a month ago.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Yiannis_Papadopoulos_(guitarist)

I saw your name in a few articles for musicians includinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioannis_Anastassakis

and I thought I'd ask your if you could maybe have a look and let me know if you see sth that I could make betteror if it's ok? Sorry if I'm asking sth that I shouldn't, I'm not very familiar with all the wiki policies.

I appreciate your time, I know you're busy. Thank you very much.Rhythm Zero (talk)18:29, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,Rhythm Zero. It's fine to ask for help; Wikipedia is a giant collaborative project. I took a look at the page, and I have some suggestions:
First, be careful of name-dropping, because anything that seems as though it is included only to boost the importance of the subject is inappropriate. For example, you mention the well-known band Creed in the lead section, but Mr. Papadopoulos has nothing to do with that band, really. If he plays Creed songs it could be mentioned further down in chronological sequence of his career.
Tone down or remove any text that is about feelings and ideas rather than about facts; for example "influences" instead of "inspirations" is more neutral; musicians whose work he enjoyed shouldn't be in the article - Wikipedia is not a fan magazine - but sometimes those who had an influence on his style of playing are included.
Announcements of upcoming projects are inappropriate, as other types of press releases and promotions. Concert reviews by music writers are good. I removed a reference to "discogs"; this isn't an independent reliable source - it's user-contributed like Wikipedia. Be careful about the use of interviews as references; only what the interviewing journalist says can be used as a reference, not what the interviewee says - that is, avoid relying on Mr. Papadopoulos' own words - these are not neutral or independent verification. Interviews where the journalist just asks questions and has not included his or her own research shouldn't be included.
Promoting his sponsors is definitely a no-no - if there's equipment that he is so known for that independent journalists and music critics are writing about it (like Willie Nelson's guitar or Paul McCartney's bass), that's okay; otherwise don't mention brand names - Wikipedia has a policy against advertising. The same goes for using promotional videos of the band as references - I haven't heard of gshow, but it sounds like that, and definitely facebook references are out.
A musician who is mainly known for work in one band is often included in Wikipedia as a section of the article about that band. To be eligible for a separate article, he/she has to have been written about extensively, not just a sentence or two in an article about the group, so look for those sorts of references.
One more thing: when adding references, be sure to include the name of the journalist, the name of the magazine or newspaper, and the publication date, not just what website it was posted on. These items help to show that it is an actual published document, not just somebody's social media or personal blog. I fixed one for you that just said "issue.com".
Okay, I hope this helps. If I get some time I may work on the draft a bit. I've been surprisingly busy for an old lady that can't leave her house these days.—Anne Delong (talk)12:33, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hello Anne, first of all I'd like to thank you for your quick and in-depth reply, it really shed light on aspects I would be able to understand and correct on my own. I edited the article following your guidelines, deleting parts and the "not good/not acceptable" sources, correcting the language and the format of all the sources. If you can find some time to have one more look I'd appreciate it. Thank you very much once again.Rhythm Zero (talk)20:59, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Iftekhar Rafsan

[edit]

--KaziKamrulOfficial17 (talk)19:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir,My name is Kamrul. This is my first article on Wikipedia. I am now the new Wikipedia editor. I am bored sitting at home all day because the university is currently closed. So I thought let's do something. That's why I came to Wikipedia. I thought of writing the article "Iftekhar Rafsan" because I am one of his super fan. I don't know how successful I was in writing this article but I tried my best. If I have any mistakes, I have a request to correct them. Finally, my request was that the article be reviewed once. Thank you

Hello, Kamrul. Welcome to Wikipedia! I took a look at your draft; you've done a good job with the formatting. Before the draft is reviewed, it's important that the information in it verified by independent, published sources. If journalists or other authors not connected to Iftekhar Rafsan write about him extensively in magazines, news articles or books, then he is well-enough known to be the subject of an encyclopedia article.
Some of the references you have included seem to be this kind, but I am unfamiliar with news sources in that part of the world; you will know better which are well-respected sources. However, others seem to be press releases, advertising, and videos of the subject these are not independently written. About the statistics you have included in the article: References to the databases of results show that the sentences are accurate, but they don't show that they are significant; for that you once again need to show that journalists or feature writers (not people close to him) who cover these topics have written and published articles about his involvement in the sport.
I hope this helps; I will have to leave the reviewing of the page to someone who knows about gaming, food reviewing and Bangladesh.—Anne Delong (talk)21:08, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Anne Delong:Thank you so much sir for replying to my message. Honestly I was a little emotional when writing the article because this is my first article. I wasn't really familiar with Wikipedia Guideline. I didn't understand many things at all. I have tried a lot to learn as much as I can by Google. So I apologize if I made a mistake. I have tried a lot to collect data from verified by independent, published sources. Among themThe Daily Star (Bangladesh),Dhaka Tribune, The Prestige Magazine are many established newspapers in Bangladesh.HLTV,ESL (company) has his profile. Where news and statistics of professional esports players are published. Various official sports tournaments are arranged at challonge.com. These tournaments are arranged by the official sports clubs. CHALLONGE's parent organization isLogitech. As a fan of his, I follow him all the time. Moreover, he has a lot of TVCs that are not mentioned anywhere. For being involved with YouTube, Esport and many creative works, Iftekhar Rafsan is currently the most influential personality in Bangladesh, especially among the youth.So my request to you is to reconsider my article as a new Wikipedian. --Kazi-Kamrul-Hasan (talk)13:51, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KaziKamrulOfficial17, it seems that you have deleted that draft. Perhaps you misunderstood me - I did not reject your work. I just said that I thought someone more familiar with the topic of YouTube personalities and online gaming should take a look at it rather than me. You could ask the guys atWikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games orWikipedia talk:WikiProject Bangladesh orWikipedia talk:WikiProject Internet culture to find editors who know about this stuff. It is too soon to give up!—Anne Delong (talk)20:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute

[edit]

Hello. I know administrators are not supposed to resolve dispute but this isn't going anywhere. You might be familiar withUser:Kazi-Kamrul-Hasan. I'm just trying to improve the articleIftekhar Rafsan which he created. He is constantly reverting my edits without reasonable conclusions. He told me about putting citations but the parts I edited doesn't require any. I've been trying get to get to the bottom of this but he is making it difficult. He should also know that Wikipedia isn't a personal blogging website and he cannot 'own' an article he created. I would like your opinions in this matter. Thanks.Human (talk)21:44, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please assist me with further bluegrass related content

[edit]

I have created a page for a Mark Johnson collaboration album he recorded with the Rice Brothers. I was wondering it you might review it at your convenience for any corrections I may need to make. Thank you.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Harpgear/sandbox— Precedingunsigned comment added byHarpgear (talkcontribs)21:25, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HelloHarpgear. Sorry to take so long to reply; I've been busy this week with my own (non-notable) album release.

I took a look at your draft, and I think there may be an insurmountable problem. In order to have a separate encyclopedia article about an album, the album itself (not just the musicians) needs to have been written about extensively by music reviewers or other independent journalists and authors. I did a Google search, and didn't find anything, really. There's a chance that paper music magazines may have written features or reviews about the album which haven't made it online because the album was out before the internet.

AllMusic can be a good source in some situations. Just being listed there doesn't mean anything - the site tries to list every release, no matter how obscure. If the AllMusic review staff have added a review of the album (not "user reviews"), then that counts as an independent source- they are experienced reviewers. Discogs is just a database which anybody can add to, so it doesn't indicate that the album is well-known; it belongs in the "External links" section, not as a reference.

Unless you can show that the album has had some notoriety now or back in the day, you run the risk that the article will be deleted if you move it to mainspace. This is often a problem with bluegrass topics; in many places it's a niche market; the magazines were often small and disappeared without a trace after a few years.

If you can't find multiple album reviews and/or feature articles about the album, my suggestion is that you add a section at the end of the article about Mr. Johnson, but before the discography, called by the name of the album. Trim your text of info that's already earlier in the article, and then copy the remaining text and tracklist there. Then you can create a "Redirect" article which will send anyone searching for the article to that section. If you decide to do this, I can help you with the last bit. The good thing about this is that people will be able to read what you've written, and if you later find good references you can always move the text to its own article.

I hope this is clear.—Anne Delong (talk)18:07, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your advice

[edit]

Hi. Please take a look atDraft:7shifts. It is a properly statedWP:COI contribution about a Canadian software company. I had an interesting discussion with the first reviewer on howWP:ORGCRIT should be applied in this case. Keen to know your oppinion on the subject, considering your vast experience of editing Wikipedia and knowing the Canadian media landscape. --Bbarmadillo (talk)19:48, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,Bbarmadillo. I have been reading your discussion, as well as the proposed article, and I have a few comments:
  • You wrote about the Globe and Mail article, saying that most of it was information about that company. That's true, but please remember that only text written in the journalist's own words count towards notability. That's because the parts in quotations, or following words such as "The company announced", "Mr X said", "The owner hopes", etc., aren't independent and aren't fact-checked. (If I were being interviewed, and said "The Earth is flat", and if the reporter printed "Anne said the Earth is flat" that would be a true statement.) If all of that text isn't considered, there is still some plain info about the company, but not as much as it seems at first glance.
  • I would say the same thing about the CBC article. Short paragraphs 2, 4, 5 have some info; the rest is quotes, speculation by the interviewee, etc.
  • Press releases shouldn't be used for references - If no independent business writer has taken the time to write about a particular fact in the article, then that fact is likely of interest only to those with COI, and should just be omitted. Wikipedia articles include what the readers want to know, not what the company wants them to know. This often happens when awards, anniversaries or business milestones are being touted.
  • I notice that the "Best Workplaces" article says "Sponsor content" at the top...
  • I agree withCNMall41 about the government article - I can't tell if the text was written by an independent author or not.
I am not familiar enough with business websites to know the value of the three at the bottom of the list, but the local news articles do contain some good information. Here's another one:https://www.cjme.com/2019/02/03/sask-tech-company-using-ai-for-restaurant-scheduling-2/ Maybe this onehttps://thelogic.co/news/saskatoons-7shifts-preps-for-post-pandemic-restaurant-recovery-with-planned-hr-tech-expansion-raise/ will help.
Okay, that's all I have to say for now.—Anne Delong (talk)00:05, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. All my reviews of company drafts, which I have worked a lot on, come down toWP:ORGCRIT. The goal of AfC is to review and then approve those drafts which would "likely" (not definitely) make it through an AfD discussion. I could ping a few editors who are even more strict when it comes to ORGCRIT and I know they certainly would vote to delete if it went to AfD. That's why I feel that it likely would NOT pass AfD. One thing that could push something like this over the top is reviews of a company's products or services, but I couldn't even find those in any major publications outside of announcements of who is using the software. Wish I could give more hope, but keep in mind its just my opinion which is why I am leaving it for another reviewer. Good luck. --CNMall41 (talk)01:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Anne DelongCNMall41 thanks a lot to both of you for very exact and helpful suggestions on improving the article. I edited the draft accordingly. I have doubts about thelogic.co, it doesn't look like a reliable source to me (the site doesn't have its own Wikipedia article and hasn't been used as a reference on Wikipedia). Also added more product reviews (Software Advice, Fool.com) to the existing ones (Capterra,Investopedia,G2 Crowd). --Bbarmadillo (talk)06:35, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are tobe hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of howIP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomedat the talk page.

COI Request to Improve Black Girls Rock!

[edit]

HelloUser:Anne Delong. I work withBlack Girls Rock!, and therefore have a conflict of interest (COI) relationship. The organization is now much more than an awards show, so this article is quite out of date. I believe in adhering to the Wikipedia rules, therefore I’m looking for an editor that can help me improve this page. I was wondering if you might find it a good use of your time to help with article improvements? I look forward to your reply. Thank you,G Smiley BGR (talk)16:32, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HelloG Smiley BGR. I am willing to take a look at the page to see if it needs updating. Please remember that Wikipedia articles are not to be used to announce future events or to promote aspects of a subject which are not already widely known and independently reported. I'll look for news reports in recognized news sources with text written by reporters or reviewers, rather than press releases or interviews. It may be a couple of days before I have time to get to this.—Anne Delong (talk)03:50, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
HelloUser:Anne Delong. Thank you for your response and your willingness to look for news reports and to take a look at theBlack Girls Rock! page. I also appreciate you for reiterating the Wikipedia rules regarding future event promotion and sourcing. I am pulling sources as well and will have some content for your review within the next week. I will put the content on the article's talk page and ping you andUser:SyLvRuUz. Thank you, again!G Smiley BGR (talk)16:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
G Smiley BGR, I do not want to review text that has been written by someone who works with the subject of the article. Wikipedia is supposed to be written by neutral editors. I made a few changes, and started a history section with information in the NYT article. If you find news or magazine articles that have more details about the history that are not written as quotes from people connected with BGR, please let me know and I will read them. for example, how the organization has been funded, where and when new initiatives were started, setbacks or controversies if any, etc.)
The content as it is has some issues: The mention of an event that hasn't happened yet will need to be removed until it actually takes place unless it is notable enough that newspapers and concert reviewers are writing about it. (seeWP:CRYSTAL). Also, the lists of award recipients are mostly referenced to closely connected websites. If you can find news or magazine sources (not social media) that have reported the winners, I will happily change the references. If no one has written about the award winners except the organization itself, this is problematic.—Anne Delong (talk)20:59, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
HelloUser:Anne Delong. Yes, I completely understand. Rather than posting the text that has been written, I can post a list of articles/sources that may be helpful for your review and editing process. Would you like me to post the sources as links or would you prefer that I post them formatted with wiki syntax? Also, would you like the references posted to your talk page or the article talk page? Thank you again for your willingness to review and edit.G Smiley BGR (talk)16:18, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article talk page would probably be better - they may be useful to others. Be sure to include only sources that are independently written. Links to the original sources are best. I'll take a look in a day or two.—Anne Delong (talk)22:26, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
HelloUser:Anne Delong. I am writing to let you know that I updated the article talk page with links that may help in updating the history section of the article. Thanks again,

G Smiley BGR (talk)17:00, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HelloUser:Anne Delong. I am writing to see if you had a chance to look at the article talk page with links that may help in updating the article. Any support you could offer would be appreciated.

How we will see unregistered users

[edit]

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 adminwill 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 onbetter tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you canread more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you cansubscribe tothe weekly technical newsletter.

We havetwo 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 canlet 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! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of ourAFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • The template{{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to{{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss atWT:AFC. Stop on by, maybereview a draft on the way?

Guideline and policy news

  • Followingan RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned bycommunity consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation'sIP Masking project, anew policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. Anassociated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects ofIP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki untilat least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration caseWorld War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Silesian School of Iconography

[edit]

I have rewritten the article about the Silesian School of Iconography (after 11 years!). (Link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Silesian_School_of_Iconography) Since then, this institution has changed and developed, allowing me to include many documents, especially those available on the Internet, as references to authenticate and objectify the content. This required a lot of work, but I think it is fundamentally okay. I am not proficient in editing Wikipedia. Therefore, I am asking for help. This article can probably be improved further, but I tried to gather a lot of facts, accounts, news, and book studies and describe them. I would like to create a category adding it to the city of Zabrze and to Silesia because this School started in Zabrze and operates throughout Silesia. That's why I made such a note at the bottom, but I don't know how to apply it nicely, like in the footer with references. In the future, I might also create a gallery, or someone else might do it. For now, please publish it, as I don't know what the next step should be. Thank you in advance and best regards. Please forgive me if I am writing this in the wrong place.Like the dewfall (talk)18:51, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Like the dewfall. I'm sorry that I didn't reply right away; I've been away camping. I see that you moved the article yourself. However, it was not ready to be published. For one thing, it contains external weblinks in the body of the article; this is against Wikipedia policy. There are links to the websites of people and organizations, and even to social media! Wikipedia is not a place to promote people and organizations. You should remove these links right away before someone decides that your article is an advertisement and deletes it. I can't read the references, because they aren't in English, so I can't tell if they are published neutral sources or if they have been written by members of your organization. I see that some of them are to Facebook and YouTube, so they are unlikely to be acceptable references. —Anne Delong (talk)15:02, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on itsMeta page and view itsprivacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Guide to temporary accounts

[edit]

Hello, Anne Delong. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have atemporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

Editing from a temporary account
  • When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern:~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
  • All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
  • A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
  • As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
    • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
    • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

  • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects theautoblock option.
  • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
  • Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. OnSpecial:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should useSpecial:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

  • Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access isgenerally not allowed (e.g.~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
  • Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g.~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward3RR, but notHey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
  • SeeWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

  • It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via theUser Info card, available inPreferences →Appearance →Advanced options →TickEnable theuser info card
    • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
  • Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
  • Similarly,Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
  • The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.

Technical news

  • Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have atemporary account associated with their edits.
  • Administrators will now find thatSpecial:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).T382958
