Previously contentious topic blocked user on edit spree

Just checking, are you aware this user User talk:DMH223344, is currently making many edits to the Zionism page? Sorry I don't know how to link a talk page subject specifically, but you left something on their talk page regarding a block from the article. All of their edits are either on Israel, Zionism, or the Palestine-Israel conflict; so I just felt I should bring it to your attention. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 21:06, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Terrainman, I can't see any issues with DMH's editing to that article at the moment. The previous block was specifically for breaking the one-revert restriction on the article rather than any other issue. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:18, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Oh I see, I saw that they had a high number of reverted changes to the article recently which is why I brought it up, but looks like those have stayed reverted so you're right it is fine and unrelated to their prior block. Cheers 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 23:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Admin's Barnstar
		For taking care of the vandalism here and here. Thank you! JeffSpaceman (talk) 23:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks JeffSpaceman. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:16, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Rejected page protection

Please check the edit history [1]. How am I supposed to do a dispute resolution thing since it's clear vandalism? "war flag" and naval flag has nowhere place in the infobox. Also multiple IP abuse. Beshogur (talk) 14:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Pages: Flags of the Ottoman Empire and flag of Turkey. Beshogur (talk) 14:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Start a discussion on the talk page like you would for any other content dispute and let the other party know it's there (on their talk page). If they then decide not to contribute you deal with it as edit warring. I'd point out that the IP has started a discussion at Talk:Flags of the Ottoman Empire.

EXIENT LIMITED History formerly Game Quest and formed by David Hawkins

Please do not revert it back the article in the Oxford Mail is and was inaccurate, they attributed all my contributions to Charles Chapman a person whom has not being a part of the EXIENT story since 2011. I would like to keep the history as was written previously or I write the correct history but please do not put back something that is factually incorrect. 212.56.159.202 (talk) 14:10, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

I've left a further message on your talk page. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:29, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Protection on Yoon Suk Yeol

Since the temporary protection on Yoon Suk Yeol is because of ip users who vandalise, should it become pending changes for the remainder of the duration? Thanks. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 19:04, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Freedoxm, looks like Daniel Case has already done this. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:53, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, thanks! 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 01:54, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Block evasion

Hi! On 23 December you blocked 2605:8D80:681:0:0:0:0:0/48 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) for one month. I want to let you know that today an editor on 2605:8D80:684:A125:31BC:E7BB:362A:A022 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) started making similar edits on the same articles as the blocked editor. Based on the similarity of their edits and the close match to the blocked IPv6 range, I am sure that this is block evasion by the same editor. CodeTalker (talk) 21:14, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Looks like the new IP has stopped being used now. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks Callanecc. Ponyo blocked the /64 of the new IP (2605:8D80:684:A125:0:0:0:0/64) for 72 hours on 15 Jan. The next day the editor resumed block evasion, this time on 2605:8D80:685:1CAB:CC61:1AFE:503:100E (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), which Hey man im josh quickly blocked for 31 hours. As far as I can tell, the editor hasn't edited since then, but they've been making these disruptive edits to the same set of articles since at least October 2024, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see them again. CodeTalker (talk) 02:36, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Tony Abbott

Back in 2014 you applied 1RR to the article due to edit warring that was occurring at the time. Abbott has been out of politics for a while now and I don't think the restriction is needed anymore. TarnishedPath^talk 02:59, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi @TarnishedPath, done. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:02, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Tech News: 2025-05

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

• Patrollers and admins - what information or context about edits or users could help you to make patroller or admin decisions more quickly or easily? The Wikimedia Foundation wants to hear from you to help guide its upcoming annual plan. Please consider sharing your thoughts on this and 13 other questions to shape the technical direction for next year.

Updates for editors

• iOS Wikipedia App users worldwide can now access a personalized Year in Review feature, which provides insights based on their reading and editing history on Wikipedia. This project is part of a broader effort to help welcome new readers as they discover and interact with encyclopedic content.
• Edit patrollers now have a new feature available that can highlight potentially problematic new pages. When a page is created with the same title as a page which was previously deleted, a tag ('Recreated') will now be added, which users can filter for in Special:RecentChanges and Special:NewPages. [2]
• Later this week, there will be a new warning for editors if they attempt to create a redirect that links to another redirect (a double redirect). The feature will recommend that they link directly to the second redirect's target page. Thanks to the user SomeRandomDeveloper for this improvement. [3]
• Wikimedia wikis allow WebAuthn-based second factor checks (such as hardware tokens) during login, but the feature is fragile and has very few users. The MediaWiki Platform team is temporarily disabling adding new WebAuthn keys, to avoid interfering with the rollout of SUL3 (single user login version 3). Existing keys are unaffected. [4]
• View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

• For developers that use the MediaWiki History dumps: The Data Platform Engineering team has added a couple of new fields to these dumps, to support the Temporary Accounts initiative. If you maintain software that reads those dumps, please review your code and the updated documentation, since the order of the fields in the row will change. There will also be one field rename: in the mediawiki_user_history dump, the anonymous field will be renamed to is_anonymous. The changes will take effect with the next release of the dumps in February. [5]
