Question from Prashantk1997* on Yota Tsuji (05:11, 2 October 2025)

The Center for Independent Documentary (CID) | John Titor ...John Titor was the pseudonym of a poster on internet forums in 2000 and 2001 who claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036. Titor predicted a future involving a global nuclear war in 2015 that would lead to the collapse of the U.S. into five regions, but also spoke of the need to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer from 1975 to fix errors in his own time. While Titor's story generated curiosity and inspired various media, many of his specific predictions, such as a civil war in 2004, did not come true, and journalists later suggested his identity was a hoax, possibly created by Florida entertainment lawyer Larry Haber and his brother, according to a 2009 article in The Daily Telegraph. Key Aspects of the John Titor Story Origin: Titor appeared online in November 2000, using the username "TimeTravel_0". Time Machine: He described his time machine as being built around a GE Gravity Distortion Unit with two micro singularities, housed in a classic car. The Mission: Titor claimed his mission was to travel from 2036 to 1975 to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer. Predicted Future: He described a bleak future with a global nuclear war, a broken-up United States, and a shift to small, family-centered communities. Contradictory Predictions: Some of Titor's predictions proved inaccurate, such as the immediate start of a civil war in 2004, which did not happen. The Reality of John Titor Hoax Theory: Many believe Titor was a fictional creation. In 2009, The Daily Telegraph reported that Titor was likely the work of Larry Haber, a Florida entertainment lawyer, and his brother, a computer scientist. Inspiration: Despite the likely fabrication, Titor's story sparked significant interest and speculation, leading to books, music, and documentaries about the phenomenon. Legacy: The John Titor story remains a notable piece of internet lore, highlighting the public fascination with time travel and speculative futures. --Prashantk1997* (talk) 05:11, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm new here. Could you give me editing tips, especially when it comes to references? --Siamese2003 (talk) 00:05, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi and Welcome! For referencing, I would recommened the visual editor feature as you just have to insert the link after clicking the cite buttom. WP:Secondary sources shows the list of sources that are highly recommended in articles, especially if you are dealing with biographies. Help:How to cite is another useful page.

Arbitration

  • After a motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections at WP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g. [[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

Can you move my wiki to the main page? --Luseafah (talk) 08:09, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I think you draft in your sandbox, if that's what you mean needs more work. Please clarify what you mean to help you better. Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 12:10, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
Can you check if the article is valid? Can you also move it to (article) for me? - Hopefully you are not a robot but, a human. Luseafah (talk) 15:21, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
I am a human, like you. As for the draft, I think it needs more work. First of all, I think you need to follow Wp:Page layout and the strings of text at the top should be in a template, called infobox. Next major issue, if the lack of references. Please read wp:Citing, and the sources you find need to be wp:Secondary sources. It also needs to meet wp:GNG. Hence you are done, I had added a template, and you just need to submit the draft for review and someone will take a look. Plutus 💬 mess — Fortune favors the curious 23:36, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Dark Mode will soon be available on all Wikimedia sites.
  • Mobile Editing: Insights on mobile web editing on Wikipedia in 2025 are now available. This report highlights that ~95% of IP mobile users editing via wikitext open the editor but make no changes at all, a vast untapped potential. It also pinpoints where contributors most often drop off.
  • Dark Mode: Dark Mode user interface will be rolled out on all Wikimedia sites on October 29. All anonymous users of Wikimedia sites will have the option to activate a color scheme that features light-colored text on a dark background. This is designed to provide a more comfortable reading experience, especially in low-light situations.
  • Community wishlist extension: The new Community Wishlist extension has been released. This will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances.
  • Paste Check: 22 Wikis are now testing a new Edit Check feature, Paste Check, to help avoid and fight copyright violations. When editors paste text into an article, Paste Check prompts them to confirm the origin and licensing of the content.
  • Tone Check: The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a new check for newcomers: Tone check. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits.
  • Search Suggestions: Search Suggestions was deployed on English Wikipedia. Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature is available on both desktop and mobile.
  • Unsupported Tools Working Group: A new Unsupported Tools Working Group has been formed to help prioritize and review requests for support of unmaintained extensions, gadgets, bots, and tools. The group has chosen Video2Commons as the first tool for its pilot cycle. The group will explore ways to improve and sustain the tool over the coming months.
  • Tech News: Read updates from Tech News week 40 and 41 including about Sub-referencing – a new feature to re-use references with different details.
  • Wikimedia Research Showcase: Don't miss the next Wikimedia Research Showcase, "Celebrating 13 Years: Wikidata's Role in Learning and Culture" taking place on October 15 at 16:30 UTC.

"Nightmare" comment

Dear Plutus - I wonder if you can help me in what appears to be a most peculiar situation. An editor called 0xReflektor has nominated my article about "Bill Fairclough" for deletion. The only apparent reason given is that it is "a nightmare". I thought editors had to act in a respectful and mature manner on Wikipedia. Anyway, I and my colleagues have spent many elapsed days working on carefully producing this complex article (along with others awaiting finalization prior to release) in conformity with Wikipedia standards etc. We find 0xReflektor's criticism most odd.

What is even more peculiar is that earlier today I thought the article may have been vandalized or sabotaged and spent hours retrieving it. I am not implying 0xReflektor vandalized or sabotaged anything; indeed, given my lack of experience in editing on Wikipedia, in all probability it may well have been caused by me.

The relevant reports, comments etc are at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Fairclough (2nd nomination) where I tried to explain anything relevant and asked 0xReflektor to explain his/her brusque comment. I do not understand why this is happening. I don't understand the comment "2nd nomination" as there only appears to be one editor, 0xReflektor, involved. Any insight you may have into what is going on and any advice as to what I might do to remedy the situation would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes SapientiaLudens SapientiaLudens (talk) 13:39, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Dear Plutus - Further to my original message above I have found the second and other nominations and responded as best I can. No need for any specific help unless you wish to support my point of view!

The naming contest for the new Wikimedia project, known until now as Abstract Wikipedia, is ongoing.
  • Making it easier to say thanks: Users on most wikis will now have the ability to thank a comment directly from the talk page it appears on. Before this change, thanking could only be done by visiting the revision history of the talk page.
  • Account security: Improvements to account security and two-factor authentication (2FA) features were enabled across all wikis. Another part of the project is making 2FA generally available to all users. Along with editors with advanced privileges, such as administrators and bureaucrats, 40% of editors now have access to 2FA. You can check if you have access at Special:AccountSecurity.
  • Abstract Wikipedia: The naming contest for the new Wikimedia project, known until now as Abstract Wikipedia, is ongoing. Voting is now open until November 3.
  • Tech News: Read updates from Tech News week 42 and 43 including the community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
  • Wikimedia apps: The Wikipedia iOS App launched an A/B/C test of improvements to the Tabbed browsing feature into Beta for select regions & languages. Called “More dynamic tabs”, the experiment adds user-requested improvements and introduces article recommendations within the tabs overview, showing “Did you know” or “Because you read” content depending on how many tabs are open.
  • CampaignEvents extension: Campaignevents extension will be deployed to all remaining wikis during the week of 17 November 2025. The extension currently includes three features: Event Registration, Collaboration List, and Invitation List. For this rollout, Invitation List will not be enabled on Wikifunctions and MediaWiki unless requested by those communities.
  • Event registration tool: Autoconfirmed users on small and medium wikis with the extension can now use Event Registration without the Event Organizer right. This feature lets organizers enable registration, manage participants, and lets users register with one click instead of signing event pages.

  • Digital safety: Explore how you can help make Wikimedia safer by taking our new self-paced course, Safety for Young Wikimedians.
  • Wikimedia Core Curriculum: The Wikimedia Foundation has developed seven online video learning modules covering the core English Wikipedia policies. You are invited to use, adapt, and translate the course.
  • Advocacy: The Wikimedia Foundation has signed onto a statement that calls on governments and UN bodies to keep discussions about the future of internet governance accessible to non-government actors like industry and civil society. This statement is part of ongoing joint advocacy with affiliates to influence UN discussions about the future of internet governance such as the Global Digital Compact campaign and WSIS+20 deliberations.
  • GLAM: The Wikimedia Foundation and several affiliates have signed onto the Open Heritage Statement, which supports galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM institutions) to have the legal rights they need to collect, preserve, and provide access to cultural heritage.

Question from Leo-J-Lutz (15:35, 30 October 2025)

Hi Plutus. I work for Betterguards Technology (US) and Betterguards Technology GmbH (Europe). We develop and produce ankle braces with our patented technology. It's an adaptive piston that activates when needed. It was developed in Germany and is produced in our own production facilities in Berlin and Croatia. In 2022, Betterguards was selected by NBA Launchpad to work alongside league and team officials focusing on innovation in the prevention and rehabilitation of ankle injuries. I understand that is difficult for me to write an entry as I have conflict of interest. How do I best proceed? Thank you!!

Guide to temporary accounts

Hello, Plutus. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

Editing from a temporary account
  • When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern: ~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
  • All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
  • A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with the temporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
  • As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
    • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
    • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

How to enable IP Reveal

Impact for administrators

  • It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the autoblock option.
  • It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
  • Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

  • Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access is generally not allowed (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or ~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
  • Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g. ~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward 3RR, but not Hey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
  • See Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

  • It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via the User Info card, available in Preferences → Appearance → Advanced options → Tick Enable the user info card
    • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
  • Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
  • Similarly, Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
  • The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.
