Discussion at Draft talk:Impact of the September 11 attacks on entertainment § Was the point to create a new article or re-write the existing list?
[edit ]You are invited to join the discussion at Draft talk:Impact of the September 11 attacks on entertainment § Was the point to create a new article or re-write the existing list?. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 10:27, 29 July 2025 (UTC) Reply
Hello, Skynxnex. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary account IP viewer (checkuser-temporary-account) rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
- You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
- Access should not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).
It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:
- When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
- Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
- Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with an IP address or CIDR range.
Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:02, 3 August 2025 (UTC) Reply

Hi there. I hope you're doing well.
I noticed that in the past you had !vote for support moving Techo International Airport (Cambodia) to Techo International Airport. I'm wondering whether similar reasoning is appicable to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:T-pop#Requested_move_26_September_2025

Dear Skynxnex,
Wishing you a very happy wiki anniversary today, celebrating 15 years (as per SUL) of invaluable contributions! Your dedication and hard work, reflected in over 28,526 edits, are a testament to your commitment to the community. Thank you for all you do!
Use this Tool to send wiki anniversary wishes to other amazing Wikimedians.
Hello, Skynxnex. 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→ 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.

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

If you have a problem with sources, revert the main article too. Nas Daily — are double standards allowed on Wikipedia? ~2026-20331-12 (talk) 02:59, 2 April 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @~2026-20331-12 Nas Daily, which isn't the "main" article for Jérôme Jarre, doesn't describe him as "controversial", his article just has a "Controversy" section. Since two editors have reverted you now, you need to discuss it now, also see my edit summary on my most recent revert there. Skynxnex (talk) 03:02, 2 April 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Nuseir Yassin (Arabic: نصير ياسين; Hebrew: נוסייר יאסין; born 9 February 1992), known professionally as Nas Daily, is an Israeli-Palestinian vlogger, entrepreneur and media personality of Palestinian descent. He is best known for his travel vlog videos on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, amassing 14 million subscribers in the former, as well as managing training programs for content creators under Nas Academy. Yassin has received criticism for his views on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

... for noting the inaccurate and misleading statement made here. The use of the scam warning template and the false accusations of LLM use are also odd to me. Anyways, thanks for sharing sources, I have no doubt the establishment is notable and I'll just work on the entry in the draft space instead of getting into an unnecessary debate at AfD. Thanks again and happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:19, 11 May 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Another Believer I nearly replied keep since it seems notable but figured I stop. I didn't see the LLM notice but the scam banner is now universal across all AFDs in particular categories so nothing about you: Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion#Should AfD pages display a scam warning banner?. I'm not sure if I agree with it but it is what it is right now. Skynxnex (talk) 00:55, 12 May 2026 (UTC) Reply

May backlog drive
An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.
PageTriage
An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.

Hello Skynxnex:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:38, 19 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
