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)

Possible abuse of power

Hi Taivo, could you please see this discussion? [1] Thanks in advance. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Done. I looked the discussion. Taivo (talk) 09:44, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Fail kustutamiseks

See läks üles eksliku nimega ja autor lisas sama faili juba korrektse nimega ning ootaks selle kustutamist. Selgitasin, et faile saab ka ümber nimetada. Kruusamägi (talk) 15:38, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Done. Taivo (talk) 16:02, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey.

Taivo, I heard about Jawico666 and well, I think he was talking to an administrator who got banned so, I think that should NOT have counted when you reviewed his unblock request. I also sometimes visit his house and when, I check Wikimedia Commons I can't see anything because I would be at his IP address so yeah, just something to consider.ER6876976778 (talk) 01:32, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Not done. Users must be nice towards anybody, including towards indefinitely blocked users. So such edits should be counted when reviewing unblock requests. Taivo (talk) 09:01, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

My Pictures Deleted

Why were my pictures of Trump and Biden deleted on my personal wiki page? -Stiabhna (talk) 15:42, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

You uploaded two files, both today. You uploaded file:TrumpDancing.gif and DMacks deleted it with reason "derivative work of non-free content", which is correct. Also you uploaded file:FuckBiden.webp and I deleted it with reason "content intended as vandalism". All people must be nice towards each other, the F-word is vandalism.

UnBlock me Taivo

Take me off the block list 77.238.193.165 01:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Not done. You are not blocked and have never been, your block log is empty. You are free to edit. Happy editing! Taivo (talk) 10:58, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of categories

Good Afternoon, I think, it was no good idea to delete category:Deutz GZ 30 B. It is harmonised with lots of other categories of other Deutz locomotives. Thanks in advance.

Deletion of category Diesel locomotives of Switzerland

Good Afternoon, I think, it was no good idea to delete category:Deutz diesel locomotives of Switzerland. It is harmonised with lots of other categories of other diesel locomotives listed/categorized by country! Thanks in advance.

Request for assistance

Please see Commons:Deletion requests/File:La porallée en 1230.jpg. The issue is not the image, it's the user who is leaving a lot of pointy notes to me on deletion nominations. I have been doing what I do for years now, and he's one of the few people who's engaged in any kind of trolling me, but I feel that's what is going on now. He has had several nasty turns of phrase, I called him on one of them on his talk page very politely. It has not stopped. Also Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Eliah Elie. He seems unaware that people who have been doing this longer recognize patterns on uploads and despite my very best attempts to explain it to him - it appears to make no difference. This is now the time when I ask others for help. He has a filemover. He doesn't seem to understand about administrators and bureaucrats, but he certainly has opinions about how I should do things. I would really appreciate some help - petty bullying takes all the fun out of contributing to the project. I really do a lot of trying to keep images and I do not think my deletions are out of line. There is a lot of backlog now in the No License, No Permission and No Source, and this person seems to feel that after I delete a couple hundred and work on the license and sources a a couple dozen more that I should not nominate one or two to try to save them. I really don't understand his issue, which is why I am thinking it's not really about Commons processes and something else is at work. Or I could be wrong and he just doesn't understand. But I'm asking for help from a couple of other admins because that is what I think is going to fix it - or at least you would see it and know. Thanking you in advance.

Saad äkki igaks juhuks siin üle vaadata, et mis värk nende mõisapiltidega oli. Kruusamägi (talk) 15:03, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Keegi avastas need pildid saidilt www.moisablogi.ee. Kõik eelnevalt avaldatud pildid vajavad VRT-luba, sest siis avaldust "ise tegin" enam ei usuta. Taivo (talk) 17:21, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for all the work you do for Wikimedia. I notice you have stepped over my vandalism complaint about this IP removing good edits. What should I do to sort this matter out? Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

I looked his/her edits and thought a lot and I am not sure, that this is vandalism. The IP replaced one kind of sorting to another kind of sorting. I am not sure, who is right. Taivo (talk) 13:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Interesting, I don't follow your thinking. Can you explain further? Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 22:47, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Jowett_Jupiter_(15177701962).jpg&diff=prev&oldid=631094071 At first the sortkey was 1951NXJ15S, after edit 1951 or missing (that case filename is used – Jowett Jupiter with number). I am not convinced, that this is vandalism.

The vandalism is in the removal of the car licence number.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Vauxhall_Heritage_Center_-_IMG_0777_-_Flickr_-_Adam_Woodford.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=630397267 changed description from IMG 0777 to HCC 436Y. Obviously IMG 0777 is a bad description.

The replacement is an almost meaningless description! Perhaps this is a joke?

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:A30_(3344854012).jpg&diff=prev&oldid=631178259 . On 20th February a lot of files were recategorized from Austin 30 category into Austin 35. Maybe the cars were really misidentified? I am not a car specialist and there are almost no Austins in my homeland. Taivo (talk) 10:00, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

I agree with you, the cars were misidentified.

So lets get back to what I claim is this IP's vandalism, please, Eddaido (talk) 01:46, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Seems like the IP is more-less static. Please talk to him/her at first. I assume good faith and do not want to block the IP. (HCC 436Y is the number on vehicle registration plate). Taivo (talk) 08:56, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

I wrote on the image's talk page 12th February [2] and [3] and on 13 February [4] and on the 16 February I went to the vandalism noticeboard. Should I write again? I don't mind doing that. Eddaido (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure, that the IP noticed the messages. For example, I did not notice. You should write on talk page User talk:5.81.157.212. Taivo (talk) 11:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Sure, will do. Do you think the IP might have noticed the reverts? :-)) Eddaido (talk) 11:13, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

I have automatic messages, when my edit is reverted or undone, probably the IP has as well such messages. (They can be turned off in preferences, but I don't believe the IP has changed preferences.) Taivo (talk) 11:22, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

File:Montage of Afghans.png

Hello. The file I uploaded File:Montage of Afghans.png was nominated for speedy deletion and was approved by you. The reason was because one of the images in this montage was deleted for copyright violation, hence my montage also could no longer exist.

However, I made a good deal of work into creating the montage, and I no longer remember what files I used to create it as I don't have it anymore. I obviously want to re-create the montage (and replacing the deleted image with a new valid one) but I need to know how it looked like. Is there any way this deleted file can still be "seen" by you or an admin, to assist me in making a new montage? That'd be very helpful, thanks. --WR 21:48, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

The montage is created from the following files: (Left to right, starting from the top:)

Thanks. What was the resolution of the image? --WR 14:07, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

1300×1500 pixels (2,887,407 bytes). Taivo (talk) 15:56, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy file unprotection request

Hi, could you unprotect File:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine please? It seems to have been auto protected by a bot for being in a canvass page and needs to be updated frequently. Thanks. Viewsridge (talk) 06:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Not done. This is matter of French Wikipedia, but as you have noticed Yann already, I do not need to do anything. If Yann does not do anything as well, then you must complain in French Wikipedia or wait, until the image is taken down from French Wikipedia main page. Taivo (talk) 08:31, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

1906 in Cáceres

Hi, Taivo. TBH, isn't a bit early to create this category? A few years ago IIRC many "by century" categories of provinces of Spain were deleted because it was considered there was not enough content to fill them... That could have been a bit extreme, but maybe it's not the time yet for "by year" categories of medium size Spanish cities filled with lonely files (these yearly categories are mostly fine for the 21st century, of course)... Cheers. Strakhov (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I am not sure. I do not know. Taivo (talk) 19:22, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned user talk page

Hello Taivo,

I'm not a very active commons contributor, but my account still exists. Any idea why you deleted my user talk page 4 years ago?
