Please un-protect ANI now and in general

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Hi,

ANI is currently protected as a measure against disruptive edits.

It's pretty fucked up that one of the main dispute resolution forums would exclude a significant proportion of its disputants without signficant justification.

I would ask that ANI is unprotected, and only (semi-)protected if more targeted measures (i.e. blocking the disruptive editor/IP) is unfeasible.

Thank you, 51.37.79.136 (talk) 23:22, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page and other help pages are the target of a long term abusive user; lesser measures do not deter them, unfortunately. 331dot (talk) 23:45, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please work out how to get the WP:WMF to assist. We can't. Johnuniq (talk) 00:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Complete Crash, Complete Lock-Out

Hi, I don't know who to go to about this. I had an account on Wikipedia for about six years, it is User:KTcup82. About a month ago, we had a total computer crash and had to buy a new machine. None of the passwords saved on the old machine were in the cloud and the original email address for password recovery for Wikipedia was an old work email that I don't work at anymore. I don't know how to get back into my account and don't want to lose my edit history if I make another one. Is there anything I can do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2E8B:347E:0:A4F2:1B6D:55DD:1CA9 (talk) 13:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can try emailing ca@wikimedia.org. CA stands for "compromised account". They may have a procedure for gaining access to it again, or they may not. I'm not sure.

Looks like your account only has 225 edits. That is a low edit count. To be honest, starting a new account probably wouldn't be a problem. You would get back to 225 edits very quickly. –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:10, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject: Clarification and Assistance Needed for "The Economic Impacts of Climate Change: A Journey Towards a Sustainable Future"

Dear Administrators,

We, User:Chloe and Anon, are the human editors of the article titled "The Economic Impacts of Climate Change: A Journey Towards a Sustainable Future" (URL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Economic_Impacts_of_Climate_Change). Our article has recently been the subject of discussion, and we wish to address any concerns regarding its content and adherence to Wikipedia's policies.

We have made several significant revisions to the article, focusing on the economic impacts of climate change, the role of technology and policy, and human narratives such as the Jenkins family's sustainable farm and the Solar Sisters initiative. All sources are now properly cited, and we have worked to maintain a neutral point of view throughout the text.

We are committed to participating in the community review process and making our article the best it can be. We invite you to review our changes and provide any additional feedback or guidance that may be necessary.

Thank you for upholding the integrity of Wikipedia, and we look forward to collaborating with the community to ensure that our article meets the encyclopedia's high standards.

Sincerely, Chloe and Anon 162.156.70.174 (talk) 20:44, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your entirely unreferenced draft and inappropriate draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. Also, this is not the place to discuss drafts. Cullen328 (talk) 20:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALL of this user's edits are AI-generated, including their replies to other users and administrators. They are also weaving the narrative that the user is two human beings working in collaboration rather than one person using an AI chatbot. The user has already received multiple warnings to stop uploading AI-generated content to Wikipedia; I recommend a permanent ban as they have refused to stop. CeltBrowne (talk) 22:23, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't permaban IP address as IP address are subject to change. Lavalizard101 (talk) 23:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries wiped out

Somebody has wiped out a bunch of edit summaries (20:16 to 20:42) by mistake, at the WP:ANI page. GoodDay (talk) 20:55, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone on the oversight team has suppressed a number of revisions. Nthep (talk) 21:12, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
