User talk:Firefangledfeathers

I would like to report this user Computeracct here.

He has resumed edit warring as the protection was automatically removed from The Bengal Files. He is removing the same content for which YashTheBosss has been blocked.

He has already been told to stop calling reliable sources unreliable. However, he has now gone a step further by labelling The Wire as unreliable on a similar article and removed long-standing WP:STABLE content contrary to the consensus on RSN. I am also going to mention that this user has admitted using AI tools for writing his messages.

Furthermore, take a look at his misrepresentation of sources on this recent edit.

While you have left him a warning, I really dont think that is enough for resolving the wider issues with this user. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 19:01, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi EarthDude. I think I'll have time to examine this in a few hours. It would help if you could be more specific about the misrepresentation of sources issue. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:04, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers Alright, I will elaborate on the last point. On this edit, Computeracct has misrepresented this source while changing "Reception among Pandits has been mixed" to "Reception among Pandits has been mostly positive". The new source added by Computeracct in question, is from over 3 years after the film was released, and that too about a completely other incident, the 2025 Pahalgam attack than. No reviews of the movie have been provided on the article.

He has also misrepresented this another source for justifying the same edit. This article merely shares views of Venkatesh Prasad and Suresh Raina rather than attributing their views to be coming from "Kashmiri Pandits". Nowhere in the article are Venkatesh Prasad or Suresh Raina stated to even be Kashmirie Pandits, a violation of WP:OR. The version of the article before Computeracct's edits used reliable sources to explain a community's views on the film, that being the fact that Kashmiri Pandits as a whole had mixed views towards the film. The edits by Computeracct uses the views of a few individuals, that too in completely unrelated contexts (one from several years later, and one individual the given source doesn't even say is a Kashmiri Pandit), to change the views of the whole community as a whole. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 19:22, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

That 2025 article includes a mention of a prominent Kashmiri Pandit, Samay Raina, supporting the movie The Kashmir Files in 2022.

Suresh Raina is also a prominent Kashmiri Pandit.

The fact that @EarthDude is not mentioning these facts shows either ignorance or malice. Computeracct (talk) 19:24, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

The article does not refer to Suresh Raina as a "Kashmiri Pandit" anywhere. See WP:HOAX and WP:OR. Accusing me of "ignorance or malice" only shows your own poor behavior. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 19:32, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

The article doesn't have to refer to Suresh Raina as a Kashmiri pandit. It is a well known fact for those who know about Kashmiri Pandits that Suresh Raina is a Kashmiri Pandit.

Suresh Raina himself saying this in 2020:

"Since my ancestors belong to Kashmir and I myself feel deeply connected to my roots in the valley as a Kashmiri Pandit originally"

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1475585352638997&id=513124135551795&set=a.525847757612766

From The New Indian Express, a reliable source:

Raina belongs to a Kashmiri Pandit family from Anantnag district

https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2014/Aug/10/cricketer-suresh-raina-visits-loc-in-kashmir-646207.html

This is from 2014, way before 2020 or 2022.

Same thing from The Hindu newspaper, a reliable source:

https://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/cricketer-suresh-raina-visits-loc/article6302922.ece

sourced from IANS

So yes, it is your ignorance that you did not know Suresh Raina is a Kashmiri Pandit. Instead of checking/asking me why I had put the Suresh Raina view, you put a false accusation on me.

Without checking the 2025 article mentioning Samay Raina (prominent Kashmiri Pandit) PoV about The Kashmir Files in 2022, you put a false accusation on me.

@Firefangledfeathers: Please note the above. Computeracct (talk) 19:45, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Even if that were to be the case, it really does not change much. Firstly, all information has to be sourced in Wikipedia. The source you provided did not state him to be a Kashmiri Pandit. Secondly, him being a Kashmirir Pandit still does not change the fact that you misrepresented sources, and used only the viewpoints of two individuals to unilaterally change Wikipedia's stating of a viewpoint of a community, going against the long standing stable version. Thirdly, none of this changes your edit warring to an article of a contentious subject, your calling of reliable sources unreliable and vice versa, your unexplained removals (with no consensus might I add) of reliable sources and reliably sourced content, or your inclusion of biased content. Everything I said in the my original message in this thread still stands. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 20:38, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

@EarthDude yes it does. 4 vs 2 and 6 vs 2 is a difference. it can be debated yes. note that I did not revert anything in that page. you could have put something in the talk page of Kashmir Files. you didn't. instead you falsely accused me saying Raina is not a kashmiri pandit.

and again you nor anyone else provided proof for The Scroll being reliable.

the admin here can see how many false accusations you have hurled at me. Computeracct (talk) 20:44, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Those are distortions from @EarthDude

1. About AI part for example ->

The comment was written by me. I polished it a little with the help of AI. In a small % of comments, I use AI to polish.

I take full editorial responsibility for my comments.

See Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence where AI can be used for editing (provided it is guided+checked by humans)

Your own link says:

Lightly edited by AI

We are highly confident this text was originally human written and polished by AI

So, I'd suggest you to look through things properly before making accusations and focus on the content : Wikipedia:Relevance of content Computeracct

This was my reply.

@EarthDude is repeating a false accusation and misrepresenting what I said.

2. The recent edit on Kashmir Files is a correct representation. If you look at the content.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Kashmir_Files&diff=prev&oldid=1310808680

Reception among Pandits has been mostly positive with some regarding the film to be a cathartic experience ^{[1] [2][3]} , while few have been critical.^[4] Journalist Rahul Pandita, who fled from Srinagar during the exodus, said that the experience for Pandits watching the film was like "an emotional catharsis."^[5] A Kashmiri Hindu immigrant to New Zealand told Stuff that The Kashmir Files was a good representation of the exodus, requesting that Muslims watch it to understand the other side of the conflict.^[6] Indian cricketer and Kashmiri Pandit Suresh Raina tweeted "Presenting #TheKashmirFiles It’s your film now. If the film touches your heart, I’d request you to raise your voice for the #RightToJustice and heal the victims of Kashmir Genocide". ^[7] President of the Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti (KPSS) Sanjay Tickoo criticized the film for its misrepresentations and added that this film is making Kashmir Pandits feel unsafe in the Kashmir Valley.^[8][9]

There are 3 links showing positive+ Rahul Pandita + new Zealand Immigrant + Suresh Raina --> all positive

Sanjay Tickoo one is negative and another citation

That is 6 positive, 2 neegative -> mostly positive Computeracct (talk) 19:16, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

3. YashTheBoss had not put anything in the talk page. OTOH I had put so many comments, links in the talk and attempted to resolve the dispute, but opposing view people were going round in circles.

4. @EarthDude has already been told 3-4 times to produce evidence the Scroll is reliable. He didn't.

no one else did either in this talk page topic -> Talk:The Bengal Files#MoneyControl and Scroll.in reviews Computeracct (talk) 19:23, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

• I'm not going to take any further admin action based on the above, but I'll give some advice. Computeracct, when there's consensus at WP:RSP that a source is generally reliable (like The Wire), that doesn't mean it's always reliable for every claim, but it does mean you should use the talk page to discuss it rather than removing content cited to it and saying "not RS". Sources need to support the content explicitly, so we can't rely on your own knowledge of who is or isn't a prominent Kashmiri Pandit. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:48, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

  Thank you for the decision and advice. Your advice is well-taken Computeracct (talk) 05:10, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Orientls (talk) 11:24, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

In the Bengal Files page, I request you to check this edit from user Segaton

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Bengal_Files&diff=1310962693&oldid=1310949116

He has been changing words under contention. He has not put a single word under the talk page and this is the first time he has edited this page The Bengal Files. He has removed reliable sources as well.

Request you to warn or ban him from the page and restore it back since he has not been involved in the page/talk page in any way before this.

Computeracct (talk) 17:37, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

I gave Segaton a logged warning. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:26, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for that.

Anything on the content in the page since he has not attempted to engage in any discussion and made the changes including deleting reliable sources? Computeracct (talk) 19:29, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

If you're asking if I'm going to do anything about the content on the page, no. You should continue to work toward consensus for your proposed changes, and consensus does not depend on any one editor's participation. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:30, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

(redacted ECR vio question about The Bengal Files)

I think @Firefangledfeathers has already made his decision on that. l'm moving on from that.

But I do request you @Firefangledfeathers to take a look at my question here and respond: Talk:The Bengal Files#Direct Action Day, Noakhali riots - claim that these chapters were deliberately suppressed or ignored

I really feel like everyone has gotten very frustrated and I hear you. I'm going to try and not reply at all further. I don't feel that anything I've said so far or any edits I have made have been misplaced. Mathglot (talk · contribs) has been very helpful in terms of his comments and replies that he has made on his talk page in response to some questions I have had about civility being a two-way street.

It's not my intention to create a bickering-fest... and I feel the whole WP:ANI has been way out of bounds since it stemmed from this change: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fargo_(1996_film)&diff=1311924194&oldid=1311535237 ^ you can see here that I added 1 word to the page, using a reliable source. Another editor explained this didn't meet the manual of style for the page, of which I was unaware was a guiding principle. As such, I closed the talk topic and have not sought further changes. I actually do agree with the editor who launched the WP:ANI that this change wasn't needed. But I also think the whole process for the WP:ANI and what it has... devolved... into is also unwarranted.

Something similar happened on The Wire, which again was just a misunderstanding that was resolved amicably through the talk page, because in that case the editor didn't bite my head off.

I hear you loud and clear about not engaging further as it seems to be largely counterproductive to the process.

Hope this find you well. Strongwranglers (talk) 16:34, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

I am well, so your hope has been fulfilled! I think your stated plan for the ANI is wise, and I also find Mathglot to be very helpful. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:39, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

There's no consensus view I'm aware of on whether it's appropriate to point from content discussions to related ANIs. I think it's probably fine. Looks like one other participant should be pinged. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:41, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello hope you are well, on WP:AE, regarding my case you have clearly stated that Pofka and I don't have any more rights to comment because of word enforcment, as you can see Pofka broke this rule today [], and also again they are casting WP:aspersions. Since their case is based only on their opinions and accusations can something be done regarding their behaviour because like I stated here [] when someone is obviously constantly repeating accusations like this [] and exceeding their word limit then this is the case of WP:ICANTHEARYOU. Thank you. Theonewithreason (talk) 18:36, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Theonewithreason, I wouldn't worry about that one link addition. If you feel like you need to address that extra bit of evidence that Sadko engaged in inappropriate coordination, you can have 50 words to respond to that specifically, but I would recommend against doing so. I don't think that part of the case is going to influence admins one way or another, and it's best to keep your statement focused on the core issues. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:33, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, my concerns are bit different, I will follow your instructions and not respond over there anymore, however I believe that Pofka is WP:gaming the system by putting links and posts that have nothing to do with me or the matter for which they reported me just to keep this report alive, you probably noticed that this report is getting stale since there was no response from admins or anyone else in the last 7 days. If they continue to link unrelated things every few days than wp gaming policy should be considered. Theonewithreason (talk) 22:45, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Their edit will not affect whether the case gets archived with no action, since it didn't change any timestamps. I think gaming is unlikely because this wouldn't have the intended effect and because the likelier explanation is that the evidence against Sadko wasn't public until after the initial filing. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:54, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

How do I add FYI based on personal testimony of the Historical Courthouse built in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, around 1929? "My grandfather was a stone mason, and he referred to 'Beaver King' and 'Lewis Day' as his bosses. When the gas explosion occurred in 1998. The historical courthouse did not budge one sixteenth of an inch. However, the new courthouse was constructed later and suffered close to half a million dollars in damage. --Thron22 (talk) 19:49, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

An interesting story, Thron22, and I'm sure the details are even more juicy. Wikipedia is not really the place for recording oral histories. We're a tertiary source, which means we mainly pull our info from secondary sources (books, journal articles, newspaper stories). I'd recommend reaching out to local or regional history societies or museums of history. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:37, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

You also have some primary sources, that have provided leads to articles pertaining to case law. I always shepherdize, which means is the case still a precedent.  Good example is SCOTUS taking Roe V Wade and delivering it to the states of the Union.  One case that still holds precedent is 'Marsh V Alamba' The disagreement was Mrs. Marsh arrest for distributing J.W. information on what was claimed to own by a huge mining company to be private property, the conclusion was 'since everyone in the community enjoyed the monetary benefits of the store that supplied many different goods. That Ms. Marsh was not trespressing nor gaining monetary benefits, just practicing freedom of religion.  This case has been beneficial to SCOTUS. In regard to monopolies as Facebook, Google, etcetera.  JUSTA is a good resource for cases on various areas of law. Thron22 (talk) 17:03, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

You're right that we do often use primary sources. There's some guidance on how best to use them at WP:PRIMARY and WP:RSPRIMARY. Most importantly, we don't base articles solely on primary sources, and we rely on secondary sources to determine if a subject merits its own article.

However I had posted it before the the page was ECR locked. And ive raised a dispute here for which the discussion is pertinent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolutionhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Illathu_Nair

I would be grateful if you could restore it. Thank you. Thengakallan (talk) 15:02, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

The extended-confirmed restriction has been in place since July. You can post edit requests for uncontroversial changes at article talk pages, but no other edits or comments related to the topic are permitted. That means no DRN cases either. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:04, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Sir. I do not understand. If the ECR had been in place since July. How was i able to edit it in the first place?

Sir you can look at the talk page of Illathu Nair's edit history here. There was no restriction on it. I opened a discussion on the talk page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Illathu_Nair&action=history

This is the Illathu Nair page's edit history. There was no restriction here as well. That is why I was able to edit it with an account i just created.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Illathu_Nair&action=history

Sir. I had raised a dispute on fair grounds here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolutionhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Illathu_Nair

and it was deleted by an editor who was edit warring with me.

It was restored by another editor and you had deleted it stating it required extended confirmation request. But the ecr changes were brought after i raised the dispute. Please have a look at the edit history once more. Thengakallan (talk) 15:12, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

There are two related concepts here:

1. Extended-confirmed protection (ECP): protection is applied by admins to pages and it prevents some users from editing that page. ECP means that editors who aren't extended-confirmed are prevented from changing the page in any way.
2. Extended-confirmed restriction (ECR): this is a rule that applies to newer and unregistered users. There is often no protection that prevents such users from editing affected pages. It's common to violate this restriction before being made aware of it. Now you've been notified.

Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:18, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay sir. Thank you. So now can you please tell me how i can request an admin to take a look at the article and restore the changes? I had explained it in detail in the talk page with relevant sources. The article as it stands now has many errors.

If you restore my talk page discussion and my request for conflict resolution. Id be extremely grateful. Thengakallan (talk) 15:23, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

You can't, for now. Please focus your editing attention on other matters. You will find a great number of articles with many errors in other topic areas. As you learn more about how Wikipedia editing and discussion works, you will become a better Wikipedian. We'd certainly be interested in your edits, comments, and dispute resolution attempts regarding caste matters once you are extended-confirmed. Take your time, and avoid gaming the right. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:27, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay sir. Thank you. Thengakallan (talk) 15:32, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Sir, You have previously posted caste-based content targeting the Nair community and flagged South Asian caste issues are need to stop. However, some of these accounts like Thengakallan are already violating the rules by specifically targeting the Nair community and related pages. Additionally, these accounts are active on pages related to Ezhava, Thiyya, Kalaripayattu, and Mappila, etc under different names. Based on my own research, there appears to be a connection between them. Some of these accounts are quite old, while others have already been banned for sockpuppetry, some are ip address. Could you please file a complaint? I am willing to provide my details and email if needed. TheRoyalStaarr (talk) 04:03, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Any conduct concerns about caste-related topics need to be raised by extended-confirmed editors. I've left a final warning about your participation in this topic at your user talk page. I'm empathetic to the situation you may be in: seeing conduct and content issues and feeling like you must bring them to someone's attention. The restriction in place is draconian and byzantine. It's only in place because of severe disruption. Please turn your attention to other topics, or be prepared to participate only with uncontroversial edit requests at article talk pages.

I would close the RfC, but I don't want to break any rules. I was thinking about asking at a proper forum for it to be closed or whether it would be acceptable for me to close for the reasons mentioned. I'd prefer not taking Uhoj to the drama of WP:AN/I, but a number of editors are losing their patience with him/her. Can you help resolve this? --David Tornheim (talk) 02:43, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

I've reviewed the article talk page discussion. Uhoj, you've definitely been bludgeoning the discussions there, and I'm leaving a warning at your user talk page. As you'll see there, I do hope it's taken as a collegial nudge on your conduct and not something intended to scare you off. David Tornheim, I don't think the RfC should be closed early, and the feedback from Apfelmaische (which seems reasonable to me) is that this is probably the best next step. Uhoj has made a brief proposal with a brief explanation of why they think it's an improvement. I encourage you to engage with the proposal on its merits. It's not the perfect RfC, and it's definitely not perfectly timed, but it's reasonable. You are welcome to disagree with me, and WP:CR would be a sensible place to request early closure. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:36, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. Will do. And thanks for taking the time to read over the talk page. Request for speedy close withdrawn.--David Tornheim (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for coming to this BLP talk page. I was just about to start a section at BLPN. Maybe ANI would be better. Anyway, if you could please examine the situation and take appropriate action, that would be great. There’s no reason for Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams to be in the lead of this Virginia Republican. (The aim seems to be to tie them together, and thus alienate Virginia Republicans who otherwise might vote for Earle-Sears.) Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:13, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

If it's re-added, I think either BLPN or ANI would make sense. No admin action from me here; in wearing my regular editor robes. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 05:23, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind my asking another question. If it's too much, I will ask another admin.:

Would it be considered a kind of WP:CANVASSing to put a request on a talk page of an article(s) for editors to notify me either via ping or message on my talk page of any significant removal of well-sourced content? Or of major changes to the article?

On certain articles, I find it to be a recurring but infrequent problem, and I would like to be notified sooner rather than discover it much later. Even though those articles are on my watchlist, I have so many articles on my watchlist and so many changes are minor, major changes slip by.

Perhaps there is a way to adjust the watchlist to only track big changes? I know in the past, I asked about making multiple watchlists, but I got the impression that was not possible. I'm open to other suggestions. --David Tornheim (talk) 15:57, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

I just noticed in Appropriate notification:

An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion can place a message at any of the following:

* * *

• On the user talk pages of concerned editors. Examples include:

* * *

• Editors who have asked to be kept informed

That suggests to me that it would be acceptable. If I do put such a notice, I would like to do it in the appropriate way. I haven't seen such notices before that I can recall--except for specific discussions. --David Tornheim (talk) 16:07, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

I have made some edits to the Male_Mahadeshwara_Hills article. Are they acceptable? If not, please let me know, I will self revert them, so that I can avoid any sanctions.-Baangla (talk) 18:38, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Yes. Those look just fine. Edits to places of worship, centers of pilgrimage, etc. are probably fine. Stay away from ones that have been central to some inter-group conflict (like Ram Mandir). Thank you for asking. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:40, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

My edits to Male Mahadeshwara Hills, Murshidabad, Faizabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Koraput district, Koraput, Mekedatu, Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary, Male Mahadeshwara Wildlife Sanctuary and Kamsale have been removed/reverted by Toddy1 - he has also reported me at ANI (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Gaming_the_system_to_achieve_extended_confirmed_status) for making edits rapidly to those articles to get ECP edit rights. Please restore my edits if you feel it is fine to do so - I have merely added macrons to some terms in those articles. I don't want to do it myself because of the warnings at ANI. Thanks!-Baangla (talk) 18:53, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

I do believe that adding macrons help get the reader to understand the correct pronunciation. This source for example, mentions Farīdābād with the macrons but my edits at Faridabad and other articles where I added macrons have been reverted (which I believe was wrong).-Baangla (talk) 00:26, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

I am discussing this (reverts of words to which I had added macrons) now at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Adding_macrons also.-Baangla (talk) 06:15, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

I don't really have anything to say here, Baangla, except that I'm not going to restore any of your edits. Good luck with the ANI discussion. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:02, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Teach90210. It looks like you're trying to create your first article. You recently passed the autoconfirmed threshold, meaning you should now technically be able to create the article page at Early Twenties Torture. You may want to read Help:Your first article for advice, and consider using the WP:Article wizard.

Hi Malayalee from India. I'd recommend copying bits of userpages that you like, and adjusting the content, but not the formatting, to match your own interests and activities. You can read more about userpage rules at WP:UP, and some of the essays at WP:UP#See also have advice about style and content. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:04, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for being my mentor! I'm finishing up schooling and have some free time to pick up a hobby. Love research and love markdown, so I'm excited to help out where I can!

I have a question about citations: when I'm choosing a reference, should it be open-source? I'm looking through legal articles and I have access to secondary source and case databases like westlaw and Lexis+ through my law school, but these may not be accessible to the public. What do you recommend? --JoystickLaw (talk) 21:24, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Free time + research skills + markdown love? What a great combo! We do have a philosophical preference for open source materials, but I wouldn't let that stop you from making the most of your institutional subscriptions. When citing, make sure to "Say where you read it", and it can help to download and store a copy for later review. You can also use the quote parameter of the citation templates to support the text, so readers and editors without access can still verify the content. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 02:09, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Firefangledfeathers. 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.

• How automatic IP reveal works
• How to use IP Info

Hi OMOOPEFUSION. A few important points before I get to your question.

1. I put a welcome message at your talk page with some helpful reading about how Wikipedia works.
2. It seems like your username represents a business, which our username policy does not allow. Please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing username.
3. You may have a conflict of interest when it comes to OMOOPEFUSION. Editing with a conflict of interest is complicated. I suggest you read the links in that welcome message, and I highly recommend editing other topics while you get used to the process and guidelines here.

All that said, there's guidance on writing your first article available here. If you do indeed have a conflict of interest, make sure you create it as a draft article. This is a lot, so please ask follow-up questions if you have any. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, hope youre doing well! I had a question regarding connections between pages in different languages. In traditional Iranian architecture, there is a type of vestibule called "Hashti" (Persian: هشتی). The Persian page on this connects to a very broad English page called "Vestibule (architecture)". However, there is also an English page called "Hashti" on specifically that type of room in Iranian architecture. I tried to connect the Persian page to the more specific English page and and failed. So, do you know how that can be done? Thanks! --Amhmr (talk) 19:56, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Amhmr! I'm doing okay, and I hope you are as well. I think what you're hoping to do is actually going to be accomplished at Wikidata, which controls the inter-language links identified with discrete topics. I think you'll want to remove the Persian Hashti article from vestibule and add it to Hashti. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:04, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, in October, I did a few very different edits on International Police Organization, and each time @Rosguill reverted. On 24 Oct I did my last edit, very different from previous ones. When Rosguill reverted, I agreed with him and let the page stay. Then ten days later you blocked me for "slow edit warring". I was not edit warring. I agreed with Rosguill. How can that be a violation? I edit rarely, but I have been editing Wikipedia for 22 years with no issues, always in good faith. I kindly ask you to remove the block and I promise not to edit that page again. Topjur01 (talk) 02:06, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Topjur01, you are only partially blocked, meaning you can edit any page except International Police Organization. To answer the question on your user talk page, yes, you can edit your own talk page. I'm concerned that you say you were "not edit warring", so I don't plan to lift the partial block at this time. I encourage you to either move one with the partial block in place or read/re-read the evidence presented and the applicable policy (WP:EW) before we continue discussing. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:23, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Firefangledfeathers and @Rosguill, only now that Firefangledfeathers has referred me to the discussion on a noticeboard I read it. It tried to respond there but it says that I am not allowed. So I will respond here. Rosguill claimed that I was continuously trying to remove from the page any reference to right wing and criminal ties, including recently. Not true. In the past few months I was trying to remove it from the lead paragraph and I each time kept it lower in the text. This is an international organization with chapters in 20+ countries and only in one of them (Serbia) there was alleged connection with right wing politics. If an organization is active in 20+ countries, and there was alleged misconduct in one of them, that belongs lower in the text and not in the lead paragraph. I do not understand why Rosguill was removing some chapters from being mentioned on the page (including Malta where the organization held a large congress in 2025). Why would you remove Malta (and other countries)? That's all from me. Kind regards. Topjur01 (talk) 01:31, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Topjur01, you are welcome to raise the points about placement of text and other chapters at the article talk page, which you can still edit. If other editors agree, one of them can restore your changes. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:09, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

I am asking for your intervention because you have previously banned this user from a contentious topic. The user bulk moves the pages to new names without consulting editors. He bulk moves the pages, as he did with Indian Football related pages and cricket related pages. as can be seen here. I request you to intervene. Coderzombie (talk) 08:28, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Coderzombie, I page-blocked that user from one article due to edit-warring, but this new conduct doesn't seem related to me. I'm glad you first approached YashTheBosss with a warning, but "vandalism" was not the right charge to make. It looks like the new titles are reasonable. If you disagree, you are welcome to follow the procedure at WP:RMUM. It looks like other editors are raising concerns at User talk:YashTheBosss#December 2025, so hopefully they absorb the feedback given there. I won't intervene yet, but I'm watching.

When you partially blocked Don Beroni from Pizza effect, was it your intention that the partial block serve as a topic-ban, so that they may not discuss the topic, or was it your intent that they be encouraged to discuss at DRN?

Hello! Around two months ago, I had created many redirects to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the hopes that they'd be useful to readers. Since then, I have become much more careful and considerate when creating redirects. Looking back, most of the redirects I created to the RSS article are shoddy and extremely poor in quality, and I don't think they are ever going to be that useful for readers. I thought it might be too chaotic to tag them all for speedy deletion, and so I am asking you personally. WP:R3 applies to these. Could you please delete them as an uninvolved admin?

I am really sorry for handing you such workload, I don't know what I was thinking creating all these — EarthDude (Talk) 02:03, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi EarthDude. I don't mind the workload, and I'd be happy to help. That said, I'm not sure deletion is the best option here, and R3 is not a good fit. If you are the creator of all these, and if no one else has made substantial edits (rare with a redirect), I could delete per WP:G7. Are you sure that's what you want? Redirects are cheap. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:02, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

I guess G7 would be more accurate than R3, considering that I am indeed the creator of all of these redirects. I know redirects are cheap but allowing so many poor quality redirects would, even if unintentionally, encourage the creation of similarly poor quality redirects. — EarthDude (Talk) 17:02, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Ok, EarthDude. All done! Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:48, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. — EarthDude (Talk) 05:51, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, hope you are having a good day! What do the red and green numbers next to edits on my user page mean under my edits page? (So sorry if this doesn't make sense) --Qu2115 (talk) 17:05, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Qu2115! Hope you're having a good day as well. The green/red numbers show how many bytes were added/removed in a given edit. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:29, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

You may disagree, but I think the warning was unnecessary. I had already given them a level 2 and when you gave them the 4im, they hadn't made another edit. If you reply here, please ping me. Thanks, thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk | contributions 03:49, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Too many cooks! I hadn't seen your warning when I hit publish on mine. I stand by 4im as the best response to vandalism on that level, and I do plan to block if it's repeated. Pinging TheTechie. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:55, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

No problem! I agree that 4im may be best for that, but yeah, it might be best to block them if they keep doing that. Thanks, thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk | contributions 03:58, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

I added a listing in the Beauty and the Beast page under Literature for my writing friend. It reads: Giana and the Ogre (2020) by R.P. Infantino, a New York writer.

He has published this story in its entirety at his writing website. Am I allowed to link the title to his story at his website: https://rpinfantino.com/short_stories_gianna_and_the_ogre.html --ShaunaConnors (talk) 22:17, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Shauna, I've removed it - there should already be an article for a given author if we're adding their works. In any case you should not link to the story itself - that's considered a kind of spamming. Please read WP:AUTHOR to see if your friend meets the notability standard for authors - if so, you could write an article about them if there is enough reliable independent sourcing. Acroterion (talk) 22:54, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi ShaunaConnors! I'll second what Acroterion says above. Generally, we advise against editing about your family and friends. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:23, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I like updated information about somewhat niche civil engineering stuff like Northwest Parkway or E470. The Northwest Parkway logo is out of date and was wondering if you could upload the new one to the English Wikipedia for me? --Orcawave (talk) 00:12, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Orcawave! I see you already figured out the logo upload. Nice work! It sounds like you might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads. That page has a lot of useful info and links to follow. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:46, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

In my sandbox I have an article. I don’t know how to get it published, or if I’m missing anything major before it gets published.

Would you take a look at this? I feel this was unnecessarily brash and I don't feel they needed to talk that way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_B._Silvers#c-SchroCat-20260211190000-Graywalls-20260211173100 Maybe it was just out of frustration I thought, but I'm seeing they've been blocked four times for WP:NPA, and civility issues.
