Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Thanks, and request for help!

Hello! Hope you're well. Thank you for confirming that we have indeed been dealing with extremely persistent vandalism and sockpuppetry on the Russians at War Wikipedia page. I have filed an Edit Request and another editor has placed a notice on the administrator's noticeboard, but as it stands, one of the bad versions of the page written by one of the socks is still published.

In light of that information could you please aid us in reverting the page to the previous, balanced version instead of the current version that is essentially a poorly-sourced and whitewashed piece of PR propaganda for the film, written by the now-banned socks.

This is the version we need that the socks have been trying to erase (I personally still think it sounds too promotional but at this point I'll take what I can get):

No, I have no idea what the correct version is. What is your relationship to User:0lida0, who is also active at that article's talk page? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is my backup for that account for dealing with suspected Russian trolls as I don't want to be harassed by them on my main account. As you can see, they're quite persistent and I often don't have the energy to deal with them. Stoptheprop (talk) 19:11, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further context:

Talk:Russians at War#Propose previous version of page be restored Stoptheprop (talk) 19:24, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, basically, you've been socking to avoid scrutiny. I'm blocking both accounts. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 20:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

Could you fix your signature? Your talk page link has random box characters in them (which display "01D 122"). On another computer, it just comes as boxes. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 04:35, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would've uploaded an image but Commons kept saying that my file name was too generic (yeah right). TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 04:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting that nobody has complained in the many years I've used those four unicode characters. Hey lurkers (do I have any lurkers? hello?), are my musical characters legible? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 05:02, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.

Technical news

Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.

The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.

Galopindeschamps

You recently blocked sockpuppets of Budisgood. Now there is another brand new editor user:Galopindeschamps working on the same articles as Budisgood. I am hesitant about another sockpuppet investigation. What do you think? The Banner talk 19:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hell yes. CU-blocked. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:18, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted some of 'em, could you get the rest? (Gotta run.) --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:22, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will take care of it. The Banner talk 19:25, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
