Nitpick
Don't wanna tangent on a blocked user's talk, but, just so you know, a /19 is actually . A bit couterintuitive, but the way to remember is that a.b.c.d/e means "The first e bits of a.b.c.d". So the number of IPs is a function of the number of bits. You can also easily calculate subnets this way. For instance, if I block an IPv6 /32, that's IPs, but that's not very useful information, since most IPv6 users have exclusive access to an entire /64, and thus we really work in blocks of . So instead one might make 64 the minuend and calculate the damage of that hypothetical /32 block as a "more reasonable" /64s rather than that absurd number of individual IPs.
Hope all that makes sense. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 00:34, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Tamzin, I welcome all mathematical and computer science-related nitpicks :P I actually knew about this, must've slipped my memory. --*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 01:15, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Please listen to me
Hi, I'm editing the Manchester valley high school page. Our students are being threatened and I feel there is no other way to help ourselves. Please let me keep up a message about it for more than a few seconds. I'm not trying to vandalize anything I'm just scared for my safety and so are my friends 2601:154:C201:CB30:9182:6EA3:8FE0:2499 (talk) 00:28, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- This is not the place to voice those concerns. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox or a complaint desk. Doing so again may be considered vandalism. --*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 00:29, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Question from JOHNY ROLAND
then how do we add his real face on his page for the viewers to see? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JOHNY ROLAND (talk • contribs) 05:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- @JOHNY ROLAND: Hi, first you need to know where the image came from. Was it a video of his? Was it a post? If it's from one of his videos, it's likely that you can't use it, as the screenshot will be copyrighted. Some exceptions can be made for these non free files (see WP:NFC).--*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 06:32, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Reason why we don't donate you
There's a reason why people don't donate to wikipedia and you guys have to keep begging others for a few bucks to keep the website running. And that's because you don't want truths to be published on you stupid website...keep begging beggars 139.5.240.214 (talk) 23:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – October 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2022).
|
|
|
Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, consensus was found that if the rationale for a block depends on information that is not available to all administrators, that information should be sent to the Arbitration Committee, a checkuser or an oversighter for action (as applicable, per ArbCom's recent updated guidance) instead of the administrator making the block.
- Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.
- Community comment on the revised Universal Code of Conduct enforcement guidelines is requested until 8 October.
Technical news
- The Articles for creation helper script now automatically recognises administrator accounts which means your name does not need to be listed at WP:AFCP to help out. If you wish to help out at AFC, enable AFCH by navigating to Preferences → Gadgets and checking the "Yet Another AfC Helper Script" box.
Arbitration
- Remedy 8.1 of the Muhammad images case will be rescinded 1 November following a motion.
- A modification to the deletion RfC remedy in the Conduct in deletion-related editing case has been made to reaffirm the independence of the RfC and allow the moderators to split the RfC in two.
- The second phase of the 2021-22 Discretionary Sanctions Review closes 3 October.
Miscellaneous
- An administrator's account was recently compromised. Administrators are encouraged to check that their passwords are secure, and reminded that ArbCom reserves the right to not restore adminship in cases of poor account security. You can also use two-factor authentication (2FA) to provide an extra level of security.
- Self-nominations for the electoral commission for the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections open 2 October and close 8 October.
- You are invited to comment on candidates in the 2022 CUOS appointments process.
- An RfC is open to discuss whether to make Vector 2022 the default skin on desktop.
- Tech tip: You can do a fuzzy search of all deleted page titles at Special:Undelete.
Geraldine James, actress
I've just seen your message of 26 December 2020 . I can't remember making an edit to her page.
Regards, Sylvia, Surrey, UK Sylvia McClintock Wright (talk) 20:17, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Sylvia McClintock Wright I do not see any edits made by your account to that page. You might have seen the warning from an IP address' talk page. Don't worry about this, as IP addresses change all the time, and the user who made that edit back in 2020 is likely not you. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 22:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

2ndthird somebody decided to interrupt me warning, I wouldn't report yet; I'd wait and see if they decide to continue. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 04:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)- I respectfully disagree, Blatant and Repetitive vandalism should get a level-4im warning, considering all the edits have been within the past day. But, I'm going to back out and let you handle this so please take what I have said in consideration, and good luck. Toast (talk) 04:46, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- @ToastGuard Yep, that is a possible case for reporting to AIV, I didn't notice that a similar vandalism happened earlier today, otherwise I would've given a higher warning template. Thanks. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 04:48, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes

- Consensus has been found in an RfC to automatically place RfAs on hold after one week.
- The article creation at scale RfC has been closed.
- An RfC on the banners for the December 2022 fundraising campaign has been closed.
Technical news
- A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget. (T319449)
Arbitration
- Eligible users are invited to vote on candidates for the Arbitration Committee until 23:59 December 12, 2022 (UTC). Candidate statements can be seen here.

Miscellaneous
- Tech tip: A single IPv6 connection usually has access to a "subnet" of 18 quintillion IPs. Add
/64to the end of an IP in Special:Contributions to see all of a subnet's edits, and consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.
