Description

As part of Wikimedia New York City, we would like to request a temporary lift of the IP cap for SEE IP BELOW which is at ThoughtWorks in NYC, on this Saturday January 28, 2017, from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Eastern Time.

I am needing to confirm this IP address. I should have confirmation within the next few hours. Apologies.... -- Erika - now confirmed, please see below.

Wikimedia NYC and others are assisting at this event, The event is being co-sponsored by the Lena Dunham publication Lenny Letter, who will be pushing editathon on social media, so there is a potential for up to 200 new accounts created.

We'd like the cap to be lifted on English Wikipedia and other projects if possible, since this might include multilingual editing.

Which other projects exactly? I need to put all of them to the settings file. You will be able to edit everywhere, the lift is only for creation. So you'll create the account at English version then edit German one, it will work.

@Urbanecm -- I will let you know the minute I get confirmation of their IP address. Very sorry I thought the reverse lookup thing would work but now I'm unsure. Thanks for letting me know the timeframe. This is helpful -- especially as we might have more large events coming up.

Thanks again!

Done.

@Urbanecm -- How is this task closed? I am still trying to confirm the IP address.... Please advise.

The IP was listed in the task description (and hence included in the merged patch). Hence this task is resolved. If the IP changes, feel free to reopen.

Thank you Aklapper.

I just got confirmation that the IP address for the event Saturday is 207.87.175.130 as well as 4.15.214.210

Re: language question apologies I copied the text from the UN Women event. It sounds like English is okay
