Draft:Jharkhand Day

[edit]

I see you left a comment on the draft: Jharkhand Day.I know a lot of the news citations might look similar and even the headlines can seem familiar, but if you actually read through the articles, they do back up the points I’ve written. Some of them mention the political leaders involved in the state’s creation, while others don’t. That’s why I included most of them, to cover all angles.

Still if you want me to remove any particular one, do point out.

@Flashthomsom Sorry, I was unclear - by “do not work” I meant that the URLs take me to error pages, so I cannot verify the information. -- NotCharizard 🗨 10:46, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which one exactly? Do let me know so i can fix it Flashthomsom (talk) 11:40, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. I replaced that dead citation with the new one Flashthomsom (talk) 12:05, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello NotCharizard! I would like you to keep my edit to the Lawton, Kansas page, there is a church in the town, itś one of few in the town and i would appreciate you reinstating my edit! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.244.83.194 (talk) 12:45, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You added the information to a citation template, which will not show up the article. If you re-add the text to the main body of the article and add a source, it will be all good :) -- NotCharizard 🗨 12:48, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! Thank you for understanding, Im new to this, but i added some thing to the page of Wells, Maine and it was removed, do you have any idea why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.244.83.194 (talk) 13:29, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't add any sources that are reliable. ~~169,244,113.129 169.244.113.129 (talk) 14:34, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi! You had made an edit to a page where you deleted a lot of the family history due to the fact that when I had edited I did not reference it correctly due to the fact that I have no exact references other than the fact that he is my great grandpa. He was my grandpas (Fred Scott III) dad. You deleted two of my family members, one of which was my great uncle who died in a plane crash which is just simply offensive. This was my first and only page I have ever edited so I did not know how to reference. If you could figure out how to put back my families information and not erase part of my family that would be great. Isabelles.Scott (talk) 02:07, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Isabelles.Scott The information cannot be re-added unless you have a reference. Anyone can say “this person is related to me, so please trust me”. -- NotCharizard 🗨 03:30, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I can quite literally send you photos of this man that I have in my house. I have entire photo albums from him. I have his diary from the Second World War. It is not like I am making this up. I also have my grandpas obituary which references his dad which I can easily send to you. Isabelles.Scott (talk) 03:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Isabelles.Scott It is not a matter of personally convincing me about this, I am sorry but I do not even knowing what article you are talking about. Verifiable references are just the community decided guidelines. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information. If you have verifiable references, use them - if not, then I can not do anything to help. -- NotCharizard 🗨 08:57, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guide to temporary accounts

[edit]

Hello, Notcharizard. 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?

Editing from a temporary account
  • 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.

How to enable IP Reveal

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 → Tick 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.
