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)

I really likedyour paper. It was a shame I missed it when it first came out, but glad I was alerted to it byUser:Atsme at the badpersons blog forum. To be honest, I think it may be my favorite work ever written about Wikipedia as a phenomenon.

Hi Gamaliel, I submitted articles to the 100 DC Women event. I used the small blue button rather than the big blue button for submission, so they didn't wind up on the visible list: Edwilda Gustava Allen Isaac and Ellen Wetherald Ahrens. Is there a way to fix/change this? I'll try my best to do it right going forward. Thanks for looking into this (if you have time).WomenArtistUpdates (talk)20:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It was nothing personal towards you or the edits you made. I simply adore your work on women's biographies. I reverted because a) the current version, albeit I can agree is flawed, is the stable version and removing it wouldn't really bring attention to the issues or improve the article and b) I knew it would provide a reconnection point to start discussions on improvement and finish it this time. The edits you removed were slipped in as we opened discussions about those issues on the talk page. Even so we left the article as it was to avoid edit warring. Now, I hope we get somewhere and finally put this to rest. Thank you so much for your contributions. --ARoseWolf13:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Gamaliel!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. —Rhododendritestalk \\18:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering, Gamaliel, whether there have been any problems with the articles I have been submitting to the Fountain tool in connection withWikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/259. It has been quite some time since any of them have been processed. I have seen that other contributors have been submitting their contributions directly tothis address. It's not that I'm interested in the prizes but I think it would be useful to other contributors if they were able to cover some of those I have developed. In other words, would it help if I also submitted my articles to the central F&F site or is there a direct interface between your WiR Fountain tool and the central tallying?--Ipigott (talk)17:34, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you may have seen, I'm doing a retrospective of April Fools on Wikipedia, and next issue will start in 2016. Which means covering the whole Trump/Wales article that caused you to get raked over the coals. I've always said that whole situation was overblown, ridiculous, and a bit of a witch hunt, and I still stand by that, but, well, I feel like I should at least talk to you before I try to write anything about it, as I'd imagine it's a bit of a sore point.Adam Cuerden(talk)Has about 8.3% of allFPs.

Hi there. I just created an article on an obscure magazine writer,Mary Newmarch Prescott. It may be the first time I added theCategory:American magazine writers. I noticed that there are a lot of people in theCategory:Magazine writers and that this category has 4 other Wikipedia language versions (so, potentially, even more biographies), but there was no Wikidata item for "magazine writer", ergo, I created this:d:Q123853167. I added it to MNP's Wikidata item, but at the moment at least, I don't have the time or inclination to add it by hand to everyone else's. Wondering if there's some easy way or tool, to expedite it? (P.S. I'm not trying to throw extra work at you... Just figured you're an expert on Wikidata things so a good person to ask.) --Rosiestep (talk)17:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is nowno longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improvingRfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please seeWikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing!theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

You created a draft,Draft:Zitella Cocke, but didn't submit it. I added some references and submitted. You might want to take another look at old draft articles (including ones that have been deleted) that you didn't submit. Perhaps you can find enough good references to establish notability for them.LeapTorchGear (talk)10:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Hello, @Gamaliel. I was doing content assessment of the article and saw that you had ranked it as a start. I feel like it should be a stub and want your input on it so we don't go into an edit war over it. It has limited sources and is a very small article that has little encyclopedic value at this time.

Hi Gamaleil,
I read AllSides description on WP:RSP and it states that no consensus was achieved, but a high confidence rating on AllSides means it is reliable because it was reviewed by experts and thus okay to use. Vox has a high confidence rating on AllSides so therefore it should be okay to use their rating on Vox's bias. Thank you.Alexysun (talk)10:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! So this issue with incorrect format of authority controls has happened to me more times than I can count, but today's example will suffice. I've done my research and I'm going to start an article onHawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station. I check Wikidata to see if it already has an item; it doesn't. I checkVIAF to see if it has an item and it does. I create the Wikidata item and I add all the authority controls associated with the VIAF entry. No problem with these: VIAF, LC, ISNI, BIBSYS, J9U. But when I add DNB and NLA, they show problematic marks next to the entry. Do you know the correct format for adding DNB and NLA? Thanks! --Rosiestep (talk)16:02, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosiestep: Two wikidata user scripts that might help. You can find them both atwikidata:Wikidata:Tools/Enhance_user_interface.
I've relied on identifierInput so much that I'm not even sure how to format this stuff manually anymore. I tried it onHawaiian Sugar Planters' Association Experiment Station(Q131146285) and it seemed to format the DNB correctly for me.Gamaliel(talk)17:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! As you're a librarian, I thought I'd bring this to your attention; maybe you know how to deal with this. I'm doing someWP:NPP work and came acrossRichard Burnett (British pianist), whose Wikidata item didn't have any authority controls. So I checked him out on VIAF and foundthis, which includes some authority controls attributed to him as well as some attributed toRichard Burnett (Canadian writer). Clueless what steps need to be taken to split apart that VIAF. This is a low priority in the grand scheme of things, so don't feel compelled to take this on yourself. Just wanted to inform someone and I picked you. ;) Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, my friend. --Rosiestep (talk)15:26, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Gamaliel. 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?

~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)

Noticed that you have moved the badminton player out of the primary topic and it eventually landed onLiang Xiaoyu (badminton) so that you can have the 16th century personality be at the base name. While I personally discourage primary topic takeovers like this, but it is your prerogative if you think it is ok. Even so, please clean up after yourself, and relink the badminton player article accordingly as well instead of calling it a day with a hatnote at the poet's article? I think people would be bemused and confused that the poet had time travelled andcompeted in badminton competitions in the 2000s.– robertsky (talk)07:53, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for creatingWikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by dictionary/A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country. I had a look at the redlist and the book's article on Lucretia seems to be about the ancient RomanLucretia, not the Spanish saint Lucretia. Is that correct? It must have been difficult identifying all the names because the information in the book is often minimal.TSventon (talk)19:32, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
