Balin Miller, RIP
[edit]Thank you for starting Balin's BLP so recently and now for helping record the sad facts of his untimely death. I did not know him, but my kids in Alaska did; my son is in the Anchorage climbing community. YoPienso (talk) 19:49, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for mentioning me. I'm not handy with Wikipedia references, so please feel free to tweak them as needed. (I'm a manual Chicago-style footnoter.) YoPienso (talk) 22:42, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Instrumentalization of the Holocaust
[edit]
On 12 October 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Instrumentalization of the Holocaust, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that numerous historians and academics have argued that Israel has used the Holocaust to justify its treatment of Palestinians? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Instrumentalization of the Holocaust. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Instrumentalization of the Holocaust), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Paragraph 175 in East Germany
[edit]Hello, after reading the Paragraph 175 article more closely, I see you are correct that the main Paragraph 175 in effect in East Germany was the Weimar Era one; however, judging by the article and its refs, it doesn't seem correct that none of the 1935 version was retained, or that all Nazi laws were repealed either.
In 1950, one year after being reconstituted as the German Democratic Republic, the Berlin Appeal Court (Kammergericht Berlin) decided for all of East Germany to reinstate the validity of the old, pre-1935 form of Paragraph 175.[1] However, in contrast to the earlier action of the OLG Halle, the new Paragraph 175a remained unchanged, because it was said to protect society against "socially harmful homosexual acts of qualified character". In 1954, the same court decided that Paragraph 175a, in contrast to Paragraph 175, did not presuppose acts tantamount to sexual intercourse. Lewdness (Unzucht) was defined as any act that is performed to arouse sexual excitement and "violates the moral sentiment of our workers".[1]
This 175a that was retained in East Germany was added in 1935 -
Beyond that – much as had already been planned in 1925 – a new Paragraph 175a was created, punishing "qualified cases" as schwere Unzucht ("severe lewdness") with no less than one year and no more than ten years in the penitentiary.[2]
Not sure if this is needs to be explicitly pointed out in the article I was trying to edit, and it's probably not worth me going back and forth over with edits, but I figured it was worth pointing out nonetheless. 50.238.194.74 (talk) 05:20, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- Ip, you are correct. However I don't see this level of detail as needing to be included in the Nazi persecution article. Unfortunately you will not be able to reply here as my page was locked for vandalism, but you can reply on the article page and I'll see it. (t · c) buidhe 17:28, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Article title
[edit]Greetings @Buidhe,
I was just browsing various DYK nominations. You might have, already, given thought to length of the title Border violence as a crime against humanity. You might have valid perspective to have such specific tile, since I felt the title of the article bit lengthy just shared the same with you. Happy editing. Bookku (talk) 12:14, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
Temporary account IP viewer granted
[edit]
Hello, Buidhe. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer 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 must 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 one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).
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. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Sohom (talk) 14:57, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
