I am disinterested in flames.

This user talk page is watched by several friendly editors, and someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is always appreciated.

To the degree you might care, by the bye, I'm male, but I don't snarl with rage if misgendered; it's a good bit less by way of travail and indignity than half the human race put up with for pretty much the entire Holocene.

Ravenswing's Sixth Law

is too narrow. It needs also to cover "you weren't born here", "you don't live here", "you don't have an academic//professional qualification in" and doubtless similar stuff I haven't thought of yet. Narky Blert (talk) 15:27, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Well, sure. But I figure I'd rather not convert it into a full essay. Most people will likely get the gist of it! (But for those who don't ... scribble scribble scribble) Ravenswing 16:06, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Can I get a link to this?

You mentioned a certain Truth Social post. It may have been regarding a Wikipedia incident that I am covering in an upcoming Signpost article. Can you share a link with me so I can evalute it? Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:16, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Oh, that was utter sarcasm; sorry about that. In reality -- to the degree that Trump has any handle on reality -- no such post was ever made. Ravenswing 17:56, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Revert BLPPROD: Christian Roman

Hi there, and thanks for your help with NPP! I wanted to let you know I've reverted your WP:BLPPROD of AR. BLPPROD only applies when the article contains no sources in any form. In this case, the article has a link to Roman's IMDb profile, which makes the page ineligible for BLPPROD. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:17, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Ravenswing. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:51, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you kindly! With great power comes great responsibility! Ravenswing 05:53, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Ravenswing:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in December!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:07, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

WP:NCIH

Howdy. Well, looks like I've been given a WP:BLUDGEON warning by one of the particpants at the diacritics discussion at WP:NCIH. Maybe, just as well. Anyways, I'll keep observing from the side lines. PS - If that amendment is adopted, it's going to lead to edit wars across many articles. GoodDay (talk) 15:30, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
