The edits aren’t promotional and seem good faith – {{uw-ublock}} seems more appropriate. —Matrix ping mewhen u reply (t? – c) 19:10, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- I disagree. The username is against policy and if nothing else, making WP:COI edits, whether you consider them promtional or not. The user is more than welcome to request an unblock themselves. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:42, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your time and consideration during this process. I respectfully ask for this block to be reconsidered so that I may be unblocked. It was never my intention to promote or sell our helicopter flight school. My goal was simply to provide information about who we are to outsiders, similar to how companies like McDonald’s, Apple, or Amazon are described on Wikipedia. I understand and respect Wikipedia’s policies and commit to avoiding any promotional content going forward. If unblocked, I would appreciate guidance on how to include a brief, neutral statement about our business in accordance with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Thank you again for your time.

- You’ve already left me a message which I’ve replied to below. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:09, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- Yes I was not sure where to put it and I could not delete it. Thank you RhonaNewman (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Wikipedia iOS app has launched an A/B/C test of improvements made to the tabbed browsing feature for select regions and languages. The test, named “More dynamic tabs”, explores new tab experiences and includes “Did you know” and “Because you read” article recommendations. You can read more on the project page.
- Autoconfirmed users on small and medium wikis with the CampaignEvents 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.
View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the issue of flashing colors when holding or pressing the arrow keys under the dark mode settings in Vector 2022 has been fixed. [1]
Updates for technical contributors
- The 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. Visit the deployment page to learn more.
- The SwaggerUI-based REST sandbox experience is now live on all wiki projects. The sandbox can be accessed through the Special:RestSandbox page. Please report any issues to the MediaWiki Interfaces team board, or join the discussion on the project launch page. [2]
- Transform endpoints with a trailing slash path in the MediaWiki REST API are now marked as deprecated. They will remain functional during this time, but removal is expected by the end of January 2026. All API users currently calling them are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. Both endpoint variations can be found and tested using the REST Sandbox. See the MediaWiki REST API Deprecation page for more detailed information about the API deprecation policies and procedures.
- A dedicated changelog now exists for the MediaWiki REST API. The changelog provides an overview of these changes, making it easier for developers to keep track of improvements and iterations. Announcements will also continue to flow through the standard communication channels, including Tech News and email distribution lists, but can now be more easily referenced from a central location. If you have feedback about the style, structure, or content of this changelog, please join the discussion.
- Administrators can delete the tracking category which was previously added by the JsonConfig extension, as it is no longer used. See the categories linked from Q130635582. It is OK if there are still pages listed in the category as that is just a caching issue, and they will be automatically cleared out the next time each page is edited. [3]
- Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

- What are you talking about? You aren’t blocked. However, if you keep attempting to make edits about your business, you will be blocked. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 18:03, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- Ok. Maybe it is not clear as to what is going on. I have been blocked from adding anything to the Quantum Helicopters page is that correct? RhonaNewman (talk) 21:11, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- You aren’t blocked from anything. As a conditition of your unblock, you agreed to not make any edits about it. This includes simply adding “a line” about it in other articles or creating it’s own article. That is not going to change. If you continue to insist otherwise, you may as well just find another hobby, because Wikipedia isn’t for you. So, I’d suggest dropping it otherwise you will be blocked from all of Wikipedia for being WP:NOTHERE. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 21:17, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Back in 2021, you put extended confirmed protection on the Robinhood Markets article after it got excessive vandalism due to the GameStop short squeeze, which Robinhood was involved with. It has received little vandalism since- I would like it downgraded to “semi-protected”, please. Frankster04 (talk) 18:56, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- I would suggest trying WP:RFPP as it may be more complicated. My protection was set to last 48 hours. Two other admins modified since then. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:45, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
