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)

They are made by putting a thin slice of toast between two thin slices of bread with a layer of butter, and adding salt and pepper to taste. Its origins can be traced to the Victorian years.

Design win moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Design win, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

SCR 720
Mackay doesn't but Birtles provides an approximate time frame for 85 Sq. Four Mk XVIIs with 720s were sent against the first raid on 21/22 January. 125 also had 720 but not sure when. I know they used them in interceptions versus KG 3 He 111-V1 carriers in September/October 1944. Dapi89 (talk) 13:29, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

An ancient edit needs updating
In 2004 u made a major update to Apple talk which added the phrase nothing like NBP has existed until recently.
which amazingly has survived with only a {{cn}} tag added in 2015. I have been looking for a reference but the best I can find is the addition of this capability to IP circa 2013 so I suspect u had some other networking protocol in mind. Care to update me or better yet the article? Tom94022 (talk) 18:07, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Electra_Laser#Hardware
Hello! I am trying to get a new article added to Wikipedia on the Electra Laser built by the Naval Research Laboratory. Electra is an ICF machine built to study nuclear fusion, but it has a number of claims to fame - it shot 90,000 laser pulses over 10 hours and it's power supply went 13.5 million pulses over 3 weeks. I am reaching out to see if you could help get this approved. WikiHelper2221 (talk) 01:48, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
