==Your draft article, [[Draft:Bird's nest (hairstyle)]]==
== close ==
[[File:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]


Hello, Ivanvector. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Bird's nest (hairstyle)|Bird's nest]]".
I am not really sure how specific this should be (or needs to be), but you recently closed a discussion that has then moved to the subject's talk page. (I blanked it without doing anything further.) [[User:JackTheSecond|JackTheSecond]] ([[User talk:JackTheSecond|talk]]) 16:15, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
:{{yo|JackTheSecond}} you'll have to help me out with a link here, I don't know what discussion you're referring to. [[User:Ivanvector|Ivanvector]] (<sup>[[User talk:Ivanvector|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ivanvector|Edits]]</sub>) 16:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
::I decided to post it to [[WP:AIV]]. [[User:JackTheSecond|JackTheSecond]] ([[User talk:JackTheSecond|talk]]) 16:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)


In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion/G13?withJS=MediaWiki:G13-restore-wizard.js&page=Draft%3ABird%27s+nest+%28hairstyle%29 request its undeletion]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

:{{yo|DeCausa}} thanks, you're right that your ping didn't work. You need to sign the same edit where you add the ping template - if you add the ping to a comment that is already signed then it doesn't trigger. A workaround is when you're adding a ping, you can remove your previous signature and re-sign, then it'll work.

Hello - You [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nauman335#Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments 5|mentioned]] "they're using a proxy." Pardon my ignorance but could you help me understand a bit more? 1) Why do editors use proxies? 2) When you say "proxy," are you referring to VPNs? 3) As I understand it, if someone's account isn't IP exempted, they can't edit using a VPN because VPN IP ranges are generally blocked. How does an account get past this restriction? P.S. Just trying to learn more, not planning on using proxies!<span id="Saqib:1720730207669:User_talkFTTCLNIvanvector" class="FTTCmt"> — [[User:Saqib|<span style="color:blue">'''Saqib'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Saqib|<span style="color:#3266CC">talk</span>]] I [[Special:Contributions/Saqib|<span style="color:#3266CC">contribs</span>]]) 20:36, 11 July 2024 (UTC)</span>

:"Using a proxy" is kind of code for a few different things.

:*In the Nauman335 case it looked like that account is using a peer-to-peer proxy service, which is software you run on your computer that shares your connection (and your public IP) with other users of the same service - Apple Private Relay is a popular one. These don't usually show up as proxies in our detection tool but they're easy to spot with checkuser, they look like a static IP with a lot of simultaneous users, or one user editing at the same time from connections that are very far apart. People use them because they're sold as "anonymizing" services, and they can be built into an OS or a browser or even a router without the end user even being aware.
:*There are also proxies that are set up deliberately or can be left open by a badly configured server or one infected with malware, which are an old-school tool for hackers. We usually block those when we see them because you need to be up to no good to find one to connect to in the first place, and they usually don't last very long.
:*VPNs are not quite the same thing: they're organized and set up on purpose, often by organizations that need to share local private network resources with users across multiple physical locations. They're very common, and normally limit access to known people within the organization, so we don't normally block them unless they're actually being used abusively. Most users connected to one probably have no idea, but they can also be open to the public or exposed by malware, and those are the ones that would often be blocked.
:*There are also residential VPN services you can sign up to like NordVPN or Surfshark that will hide your IP and encrypt your connection, which have valid uses in the real world (I use one but not for editing) but they are also usually blocked because it's very easy to use them for abuse. These are usually also the services that are used to bypass a government firewall (like China or Turkiye) so we commonly give IP block exemption to users who request it from one of those countries, since they can't even ''read'' Wikipedia without using one.
:Like you probably guessed, bad actors on Wikipedia use proxies to hide their connection details, thinking that if we can't see their real IP address that we won't be able to link them to prior blocked accounts. But checkuser reveals more than just IP addresses, and we have plenty of ways to see through proxies. The only way for an account to edit from a hardblocked (not anonymous-only) IP is to have ''local'' IP block exemption (global IPBE does not override local blocks). It would be ''very'' unusual for an account without established history to get IPBE without being checked by a CU. Hope that helps!

Hey. On the page you have protected indefinitely, the disruptive editor's behavior is not compatible with [[WP:DEADNAME]]: "Paraphrase, elide, or use square brackets to replace portions of quotations to avoid deadnaming or misgendering". Since the user doesn't follow the warnings and is extendedconfirmed, I did not request another page protection, but this should be dealt with.
