How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Apollo 17

Do you think it's ready for FAC?--Wehwalt (talk) 16:36, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

@Wehwalt: Thanks for the ping. Substantively, I think we're about there; I don't expect to add much additional, and I think the coverage is very good. Stylistically, a few things stand out to me ahead of FAC:
(1) I've not spent much time with the reflist and bibliography, apart from adding to them, so I expect there may be a bit of cleanup needed (unless, of course, you've already given them a look and feel they're in a good place);
(2) a couple of the paragraphs in the "Mission hardware and experiments" subsections seem a bit snippy (looking, for instance, at the last paragraphs of each of "ALSEP", "Lunar Neutron Probe", and "Biological cosmic ray experiment" -- we might see about integrating those a bit better to tighten the prose or perhaps adding a bit more to them; and
(3) I don't know what your feeling is on "Multimedia" or "Gallery" sections, but I've always thought them to be rather arbitrary in their inclusiveness, and frankly cluttering to boot (as everyone seems to want to add additional files of varying degrees of usefulness to them, such that they become indiscriminate image farms over the years) -- would you object to axing it entirely? It's been a very long time since the GAN, but I'm surprised it survived then.
I'd like to take another pass through with these items in mind, and an eye towards the items that came up at a few of the other Apollo FACs, but will ping you again once I've finished, ideally by the weekend in the interest of keeping momentum on this. You're obviously welcome to do likewise. Tyrol5 [talk] 22:04, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
I hope to have time to do another run-through on Friday. I'm fine with getting rid of the gallery.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:28, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
@Wehwalt: Okay, I've spent the past couple of evenings working through in view of the remaining items on my list. Though I am certain there will be various miscellaneous items that will come up at FAC, I think the article is, on balance, in robust condition. As I expected, the references and bibliography needed a bit of elbow grease, as I had not appreciably spent time with them for the better part of a decade. Other things will surely come up, but their condition should now be greatly improved. In any case, now defer to whether you have anything additional after you've run through again. Otherwise, will be pleased to join a co-nomination when you're ready. Tyrol5 [talk] 02:31, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
I worked on it some. I think it's ready to go. Should I nominate?--Wehwalt (talk) 19:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
@Wehwalt: Sure, have at it. Go ahead and add me as a co-nom as well and I will certainly be there and involved in responding to shepherd it through. I can co-sign when it’s up. Many thanks. Tyrol5 [talk] 19:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Gog the Mild (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:05, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status". Gog the Mild (talk) 00:12, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Congrats also from me. There are still a couple of Apollo missions to go to complete the set. Apollo 6 is ready for FAC, though I'm going to hold off nomming it for a bit. There's still Apollo 1 and Apollo 10, though. Any interest in working together again?--Wehwalt (talk) 18:30, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, both, and many thanks, Wehwalt, for the joint push on this one. Your deftness for the process showed, and was invaluable. I'd certainly welcome the opportunity to run it back. Apollo 10 has languished on my list for expansion for the better portion of a decade, and I think may be the heavier lift of the two in terms of preparation, so I'll plan to bump that one up and turn to it as able. Will certainly plan to give Apollo 1 a look as well. Tyrol5 [talk] 01:19, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
