Temporary account IP viewer granted
[edit]
Hello, Ca. 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! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:45, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Your edits are amazing! Thank you for taking time to understand the situation! There are a few Team USA Athletes I’ve been trying to improve before 2028 LA Olympics. A few that need help are Colin Duffy, Brooke Rabatou and Kyra Condie. I also polished Mao Nakamura’s page. Bifty (talk) 02:04, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
Questions on Draft:Inversion_Space
[edit]Hi Ca - I noticed you moved Inversion_Space to Draft Space and flagged a few issues with the draft. I made some changes to address these.
To address notability-I added an article from the LA Times (which is reliable according to Perennial Sources list) and is independent of the subject and provides significant and in-depth coverage on the company. I also added this New York Times article (another reliable independent source) that provides in depth coverage of the company, describing its significance in the space-delivery startup space.
Together I think the above two sources establish notability.
The second issue you mentioned is that many of the sources only cover fundraising or promises (and little besides that has developed with the company). I found this article which details their unveiling of their delivery vehicle, which appears fully built. Other articles (like the aforementioned NYT article) provide a lot of detailed coverage of their activities and importance, as well as testing etc. I added a note on the release of the vehicle.
Please let me know if you have further ideas to improve the article, or if you think it needs something else/more etc.
Cheers! JamesH97 (talk) 03:13, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding these sources. However, I have a few concerns: I'm not sure LA Times source is really independent. It mostly consists of quotes, and has a disclaimer "information for this article was sourced from BusinessWire." This is indicative of churnalism.
- The NYT and Payload articles are decent, it reports on tests and demos the company performed instead of simply repeating the founders' own words.
- The core issue is not that the company has not released a commercially-viable product, but there is not much to write about the company while strictly relying on reliable and independent sources. i.e. I don't see the article expanding much beyond a WP:stub.

why the hell did you make a grow a garden wikipedia page
[edit]literally ~2026-32565-8 (talk) 18:42, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
hi! I'm new to editing and trying my hand at it for the first time and while the "add links to words" articles are easy to wrap my head around, the spelling, grammar, and tone ones are a good bit more overwhelming to me and even with the guides on-site, its still hard for me to get a grasp on what's a good change or not....
(for example I got recommended the calligraphy article to help with the spelling / grammar / tone, and when I found the flagged section, I couldn't figure out if I should outright remove the offending sentence or attempt to back it up)
is there anything you'd recommend in terms of process / things to look out for to help with this? I feel silly for asking about easy edits like this, but i don't want to somehow mess them up either.. --Zullyy (talk) 20:01, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Zullyy, sorry for the late response. For me, the first thing I look out for are opinions stated like its a fact. Except in rare cases, such opinions should be attributed to a specific source (e.g. "Smith said X"), and if you cannot find any source which backs up such viewpoint, you should remove it. Second, I try to minimize the use of words listed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch, so "notable", "award-winning. In any case, don't be afraid to be bold with your editing! Sometimes your bold edits will be reverted, and that is OK. If you still disagree with the revert after reading the other editor's rationale, talk to them to gain a common ground.
- Thanks for your contributions and let me know if you have any questions. Ca talk to me! 09:30, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
- That makes sense, thank you! I'll use what you said to look out for but also not hesitate as much with my edits. Zullyy (talk) 19:15, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
