== Draft Veracity of statements by Joe Biden ==
greetings: i will ask you because you seem less hysterical than the admin who declined my unblock request. there exists on Misplaced Pages an article on the veracity of statements made by Donald Trump, and if you look at the deleted revisions for the deleted draft (overlooking my juvenile and POV terminology for Pres Biden) you will see quite a few links to reliable sources questioning the truthfulness of Pres Biden. these links could demonstrate notability for this topic imo, but before i even bother with trying to restart the article i would like to ask you whether this article would stand a chance in hell of surviving on Misplaced Pages. plz advise if you would be so kind. sincere thanks, ] (]) 00:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

A token of thanks
Hi HighInBC! I've nominated you (along with all other active admins) to receive a solstice season gift from the WMF. Talk page stalkers are invited to comment at the nomination. Enjoy! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ~~~~~
Thank you for letting me know. I am frustrated with this user. I tried to help them and they took an adversarial position with me. I may comment on the discussion, but I will not be supporting an unblock at this time. HighInBC11:32, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
In the course of catching up with what I've missed the last day or so, I re-read his talk page and your discussion with him, and realized I stepped on your toes a little, bringing this to AN/ANI after you said you'd consider doing so. Sorry. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:37, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Oh not at all. I did decline to do so after he got impatient, but I mentioned that perhaps another admin would like to. You can give someone advice, but you can't stop them from making a mistake. I knew their request would end badly if made this early, but sometimes people just have to see with their own eyes. HighInBC00:40, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
If he sticks to not evading his block. I'll support his unblock in April 2022, even though he did (months ago) suggest that I was a bigot or racist, because I questioned another editor's competency. GoodDay (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
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.
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.
Given that the IP address will still be visible to vandal fighters I think session based makes the most sense.
However has a hybrid approach been considered? If someone shows up with no cookie using an IP than has been used in the last week just append to it. So User:Anon3406 becomes User:Anon3406-2 or something similar. HighInBC23:43, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi John. As with all IP blocks, the block I did was temporary. It was for 2 weeks. It is very common for IPs to change owners. I looked at the IPs most recent editing and am not seeing any clear indication it is the same person. I believe the original block has served its purpose.
If there is a fresh issue with this IP please feel free to let me know here and I will look closer at the matter. HighInBC23:15, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Ah, ok, I inferred (!) that it had to be a static IP, else why complain? Of course that presupposes that the author knows about such arcane lore, which is a big suppose. "No further action at this time". --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:35, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
