:Basically, the fix for Bug 550 allows admins to block IPs from edting without affecting logged-in users. Previously, if, for instance, you blocked all of AOL, then nobody from AOL could edit, even if they had an account. See for all the details, if you'd like. ] 16:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

== Re Oversight ==

Hi. Actually, my own request is the first one that I'm seen go through. It should provide interesting insight on the procedure, which should help enrich the Oversight page. For instance, ], the page from ], has a seemingly contradictory wording in the header of the section regarding oversight permissions for this Misplaced Pages: it gives the impression that a user should ask there, and that the greenlight from the ArbCom would be procured only once the request ''there'' has been logged. I guess that can happen too, but it is better if one posts there having already secured the "ok" from the ArbCom. Because of the wording situation, I decided to start my request there a few hours after having posted on the ArbCom talk page, thinking that I'd probably get an answer here before a Steward could get around to addressing my request. As it turns out, the Stewards were faster than the ArbCom, so now my request there is in standby, while I'm waiting for an answer from the ArbCom. ] 13:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

:Hi again. As you requested, I'm keeping you up to speed. from ] is of the utmost relevance. Still, I'm waiting to see what the ArbCom will say about my rationale. It seems to be the case, however, that oversight rights cannot be requested, they are only given as an "extension" of another tool (CheckUser) or a position (ArbCom member). ] 21:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

::I think at the moment I'm standing by my assertation that +oversight is presentable to those who are "designees of ArbCom" also (in addition to VoA's information), as there are non-ArbCom members who have +oversight. At the moment, this ''seems'' to be the most accurate presentation of the facts, I think. I'll update the page soon. ~ Kylu ] 22:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Those non-arbcom users are former arbcom users. It was never an extension of checkUser. I talked to about this on IRC to arbcom members. The MediaWiki Foundation created Oversight without warning and told the arbcom to choose who gets it. Giving it to people with CU was a quick way to give it to trusted people without having to go through some sort of lengthly confirmation process. Several arbcom member thought that it could use expansion, but there were not many easy ways to do so. They later agreed to give it to several active Arbcom members (as not all of them had CU) and several former arbcom memebers. Hope that clearifies things.''']''' 23:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Understood, thanks for the info! <b><i><font color="#FF00FF">~Kylu (]|]) </font></i></b> 01:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Although it doesn't bear any relevance to your work, I thought I'd give you the final update: the ArbCom has approved my request, and Mark has already posted on Meta requesting the status for my account. ] 03:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

:Err, actually, I've known about that for a while now, but thank you for telling me! It's still good for clarifying approval policy. The scary thing is, I'd rather get this absolutely right, as I notice on wikis it tends to be that when you write a description of a wiki-process, people start pointing to it as policy. <b><i><font color="#FF00FF">~Kylu (]|]) </font></i></b> 03:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

::I thought you probably already knew. Just wanted to make sure. About the page, in fact it will be reflecting policy, since Oversight is guided by policy (such as: the ArbCom decides who gets it, and the instances in which the tool is to be used). Interestingly enough, several pages people refer to quite often, although not policy, really started thanks to an initiative from a single user, or maybe a handful of users. ] and ] are examples. Originally, BEANS wasn't even in the project space, but it got moved there eventually because people liked the concept so much.<br>I'll work on the Oversight page with you, and hopefully others will join us. If we can get it to a great level, we can eventually ask that it be linked in the Listusers special page. But we'll cross that bridge when/if we come to it. ] 04:19, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

My dear Kylu, now that I'm back from my Wikibreak and the flurry of most deserved congrats has slowed down on your Talk page, it is the perfect moment for me to drop by and congratulate you myself. Your extremely kind words to me are very special and they mean a lot, because I so value the person who spoke them. I was confident you'd make it; good and valuable people have been turned down at RfA for a number of reasons, but sometimes, just ''sometimes'', there ''is'' justice in this world and the right thing happens. We all love you, Kylu, because we see the great goodness in you, and your incredible will to help and work hard. Please, remember that if your faith ever fades away again.
