Armen888 SPI
editSince this SPI is closed, I was wondering if I should file a new SPI due to an IP editing(46.71.234.8) along the same articles as users Armen888, Armeniansarebest, and Nakhararakan.
- List of Armenians --Nakhararakan/IP edits
- Bagratid Armenia --Armen888/Armeniansarebest/IP edits --Kansas Bear (talk) 01:37, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
A similar IP address (46.71.135.207) posted on my talk page continuing a conversation started by user:Nakhararakan. Both IPs geolocate back to the same place. I believe this is Nakhararakan avoiding a block.--Kansas Bear (talk) 01:46, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've blocked the more recent IP for a week. If they continue I may have to make a wider range block. —Ingenuity (t • c) 20:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Same behavior profile from another IP: 46.71.89.45 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). No one else is obsessed with replacing links to Armenia with links to Armenians. He's not going away easily. Let me know if there's a better place to report these. Daask (talk) 17:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- A similar IP46.71.29.196 has canvassed Yevevantsi, concerning the ethnicity of David the Invincible. Two socks of Armen888 had previously edited this article.[1][2]
- This IP is blocked user:Armen888. David's ancestry was removed initially by Srnec. Which was reverted by a sock of Armen888(Armeniansarebest). --Kansas Bear (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Today brought a timely promotion of Helmut Bauer to the Main page on the day when pieces from Mozart's Requiem were performed for him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:16, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
I made Leif Segerstam my big story today. -Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:13, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates
editAdministrator Elections | Call for Candidates
The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.
Here is the schedule:
- October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
- October 22–24 - Discussion phase
- October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
Please note the following:
- The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
- Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
- The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
- The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
- Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.
Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Unblock pls
editThe last guy blocked me from editing cause I wanted to help And now u extended it cause apparently I use vpn when I don't use vpn. This is either a mistake or u guys just can't accept the simplest challenge to ur authority 103.242.20.171 (talk) 18:09, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) I'm going to assume that you are accidently using this IP instead of the IP/account you are blocked from. You should use the {{unblock}} template on the talk page of the account/IP you are blocked on while using that account/IP, and try to understand and communicate with the blocking admin about why you were blocked, instead of guessing that the blocking admin is responding to a challenge to their authority with a block.

Administrator Elections: Discussion phase
editThe discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- October 22–24 - Discussion phase
- October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
- November 1–? - Scrutineering phase
During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase.
On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Invitation to participate in a research
editHello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
Sorry!
editI just realized that I blocked user Djldo25 at the exact same time that you did, and my block inadvertently overwrote yours. I apologize for the phenomenon. But hey, at least we both agreed (in a way) that the block applied to this user should be indefinite, so there's that as a positive note, I guess... ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:54, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

"LTA 1321" private filter
editHello Ingenuity. Few weeks ago you've created a new private filter "LTA 1321" which stopped my recent ANI report somehow. Could you please comment this incident? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports#213.87.90.88 213.87.89.114 (talk) 01:18, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- I've disabled the filter for now. —Ingenuity (t • c) 18:35, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
