Merchandise giveaway nomination

A token of thanks

Hi HighInBC! I've nominated you (along with all other active admins) to receive a solstice season gift from the WMF. Talk page stalkers are invited to comment at the nomination. Enjoy! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk ~~~~~

Thank you very much! HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 06:10, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since I screwed up the ping

It's not an issue directly concerning to you, but since I mentioned your recent discussion with Neutralhomer at WP:AN, I figure I should notify you. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Block_review_of_Neutralhomer. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:10, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. I am frustrated with this user. I tried to help them and they took an adversarial position with me. I may comment on the discussion, but I will not be supporting an unblock at this time. HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 11:32, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the course of catching up with what I've missed the last day or so, I re-read his talk page and your discussion with him, and realized I stepped on your toes a little, bringing this to AN/ANI after you said you'd consider doing so. Sorry. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:37, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh not at all. I did decline to do so after he got impatient, but I mentioned that perhaps another admin would like to. You can give someone advice, but you can't stop them from making a mistake. I knew their request would end badly if made this early, but sometimes people just have to see with their own eyes. HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 00:40, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If he sticks to not evading his block. I'll support his unblock in April 2022, even though he did (months ago) suggest that I was a bigot or racist, because I questioned another editor's competency. GoodDay (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)

Given that the IP address will still be visible to vandal fighters I think session based makes the most sense.

However has a hybrid approach been considered? If someone shows up with no cookie using an IP than has been used in the last week just append to it. So User:Anon3406 becomes User:Anon3406-2 or something similar. HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 23:43, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

150.101.157.18

On 10 December, you wrote at User talk:150.101.157.18 that you had blocked the IP from editing. It doesn't seem to have worked (unfortunately, see User talk:150.101.157.18#Caduceus. Not that I'm seeking a 'normal' disruption block - yet. I just thought you might want to know.) --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
