Hi. A former helper of copyright clean-up here who last interacted with you a long time ago! I know you haven't been as active as you used to be, but thought I'd let you know that we have a new candidate for adminship that's keen to help out in CCI. If ever you'd like to take an interest in Copyright cleanup again, I'm sure she'd be happy to collaborate with you. If not, that's OK, just saying hello to you.

This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. — JJMC89 bot 00:18, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I've been dealing with issues regarding a page I created in December 2008. I don’t have anything further to say about the page itself. However, today I was made aware that I am not listed as the creator and that the page has been newly attributed to another user—you. When I check the page history, it shows that you created it back in 2008, which is not true.

I wasn’t aware that editors could take over authorship of pages regardless of prior contributions. I find this utterly abusive and misleading, exercising control over information that may underrepresent my identity to the world. If it was my mistake, whether through ignorance or careless behavior, I don’t believe that you—or Wikipedia, for that matter—should be able to retain the page, as it was never your intention to create or maintain it.

I have repeatedly requested that the page be deleted. I do not wish to appear on this platform anymore, and I don’t believe that, given you didn’t create it in the first place, you now have the right—after all the discussion—to keep it and edit it at your discretion, especially when my notability is demonstrated in the same reference section that has been kept.

However, all references to my work have been removed—not edited or fixed, but completely removed—which is a major contradiction. I am now formally requesting, as I have before, that the page be deleted due to the lack of notability of the subject (myself) and the underrepresentation of my work. Please advise.

Thank you. Francisacea (talk) 17:39, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Again, Francisacea, this is not how Wikipedia works. The original creator of an article does not exercise any special control or any right of authorship over the article; they are just one among the many editors of Wikipedia. This goes for both you as the original creator of the now-deleted page and for MRG here as the re-creator of the page after it was deleted. Neither MRG, nor you, nor any other editor on Wikipedia has an exclusive "right to keep and edit it"--and on the other side of the coin, you also do not have an exclusive right to require its deletion. Deletion discussions, as with all other discussions on Wikipedia, will be decided by consensus of the community, not the say-so of any one editor in either direction. There is nothing abusive or misleading going on here; this is how Wikipedia has always worked. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:53, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I have nothing further to discuss. Let’s put it this way: consider me the worst person ever—someone who used the platform to self-promote, violate copyright guidelines, misrepresent their own notability, and capitalize on the platform. Furthermore, label me as a far-right anti-communist, anti-socialist, opposed to every aspect of liberalism and progressivism—the worst person you could imagine, undeserving of participation in the beautiful community of enlightened editors—and just delete the page, as I do not wish to remain on the platform for the reasons I have previously expressed. Thank you. Francisacea (talk) 18:13, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Categories you have created have been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 October 17 § Businesswomen on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Mclay1 (talk) 03:01, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Jorhat College (Amalgamated) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

fails general notability as well as WP:ORG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, Moonriddengirl. 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 a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary 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?

• 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 the temporary 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.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

• Administrators may grant the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right to non-administrators who meet the criteria for granting. Importantly, an editor must make an explicit request for the permission (e.g. at WP:PERM/TAIV)—administrators are not permitted to assign the right without a request.
• Administrators will automatically be able to see temporary account IP information once they have accepted the Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy via Special:Preferences or via the onboarding dialog which comes up after temporary accounts are deployed.

Impact for administrators

• 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 the autoblock 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. On Special: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 use Special: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 is generally 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 toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
• See Wikipedia: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 the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Enable the user 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.
