IP Block exemption

Hi Tks4Fish~, I hope all is well? :) Could you please help me provide block exemptions for these group of editors. I will be glad if this could be done on before Friday as I have a workshop with the group on that day. Thanks and best regards. Kinvidia (talk) 21:56, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Kinvidia:! Absolutely, I'll do them right now. Just a couple of things: 1) can you double check "Moses Dusi"? No account was found with that name. 2) do be aware that a local exemption here at enwiki will still be needed, as there are local blocks for the IPs here, and the Global Exemption won't exempt the users from those blocks. All the best, —Thanks for the fish! talkcontribs 14:19, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi again @Kinvidia:! All done apart from Moses :) Best, —Thanks for the fish! talkcontribs 14:40, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much Tks4Fish Moses' user name is actually; Mosesdusi1. Apologies for the mistake. I will quickly send the names to Zzuuzz to help me with local exemptions. Kinvidia (talk) 18:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

This means that those in the Researcher user group and Checkusers who are not administrators can now access Special:RevisionDelete. The users able to view the special page after this change are the 3 users in the Researcher group, as there are currently no checkusers who are not already administrators. (T301928)
  • When viewing deleted revisions or diffs on Special:Undelete a back link to the undelete page for the associated page is now present. (T284114)

Technical news

I declined your G12 at Barcllay because it appeared salvageable to me. I asked a couple of copyright clerks to look at it, and we removed a fair bit of the article. I think that what's left is all non-infringing of [74], but I thought I would ask you if there's anything we've missed. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 06:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

I cleaned it up some more, and tagged it for AfD. Thanks! —Thanks for the fish! talkcontribs 14:39, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
