Proxies
editHi, those IPs are all proxies. Long-term, hard blocks are advisable. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:50, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell Ah, thanks for the info. I have a meeting in 5 minutes. You are welcome to update the blocks if you wish. Otherwise I'll try to get to them afterwards.
- Is there a specific way to tell if they are proxies? EvergreenFir (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- I've upgraded the two I spotted. I didn't go looking for any others. I'm not stalking your block log, just watching AIV! ;) You can click the "proxy checker" link in the toolbar at the bottom of the contribs page, which opens this Toolforge tool. It can be hit and miss but it's pretty good at picking up these VPNGate IPs, though with this particular person it's safe to assume any IP they're using is an open proxy.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Interface administrator changes
- 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 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.
