Question from Amayah masud (12:04, 23 October 2025)

[edit]

PLEASE HOW DO I EDIT ARTICLES --Amayah masud (talk) 12:04, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Amayah masud, anyone can edit articles! You should be able to do so simply by hitting the 'edit' tab in the corner of most articles. Some high visibility articles will be protected, but you can still suggest edits to be made! Eddie891 Talk Work 20:57, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Movsum.Mirzazada (06:21, 27 October 2025)

[edit]
Note: Movsum.Mirzazada's mentor Frostly is away.

Hello,

I would like to create a biographical Wikipedia article about myself, Movsum Mirzazada (Mimo) — actor, award winner, and founder of Mimo’s Collective.

I already have reliable third-party sources, including press coverage, film festival awards, IMDb credits, and verified social profiles.

I understand Wikipedia requires neutral tone and notability. Could you please guide me:

What exactly should I prepare from my side (e.g., sources list, draft format)?

Where and how should I submit the draft?

Can this article be created under my name (Movsum.Mirzazada), or do I need someone else to post it?

Also, if you could escalate this to someone experienced with biographies of living persons, I’d appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help.

— Movsum.Mirzazada --Movsum.Mirzazada (talk) 06:21, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Eddie Kindly Review updates and i would appreciate it if you can have a look on my changes and give some advices. As an improvement:

Hi @Movsum.Mirzazada, sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I would not recommend writing an article on yourself, but if you want to I would recommend using WP:SECONDARY sources with significant coverage. Things like social media profiles or IMDB credits would not count as these. Are there any more signficiant articles, such as reviews in newspapers? If you would like to continue, I would suggest having a read through of WP:AUTOBIO, our policy regarding writing an autobiography.
To create a draft article, you can just follow the steps at the WP:Article Wizard. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:55, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guide to temporary accounts

[edit]

Hello, Eddie891. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

Editing from a temporary account
  • When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
  • All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
  • A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
  • As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
    • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
    • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

How to enable IP Reveal

Impact for administrators

  • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
  • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
  • Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

  • Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
  • Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
  • See Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

  • It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Tick Enable the user info card
    • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
  • Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
  • Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
  • The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.

Question from CJG247 (15:10, 6 November 2025)

[edit]

Hi Eddie891, I am new to Wikipedia but have enjoyed learning how to create content, using wikitext. I have just attempted to publish a new page, which is now in review. Is it ok if I mention you in the talk section of the draft? --CJG247 (talk) 15:10, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CJG247, I assume that your draft is Draft:Le Boat. It seems to me like you might want to make it read less like a travel brochure. Phrases like "a line designed to offer modern and spacious interiors, large sun decks, and easier handling via new control systems" don't really have encyclopedic relevance. If you think about it, of course a new line would be intended to have better things like this, so why do we need to mention it- what does it really tell us?
