Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 4 years ago 8 comments6 people in discussion
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.
Please also review Global blocking .
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally.
Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP or account. Saying an IP or account is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You know the IP address(es) or accounts you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
  2. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
  3. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP or account, if any.

To make a request for the address(es) or account(s) to be blocked or unblocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address/username}}
Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~
When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request.
To find your IP, please visit https://www.whatismyip.com/
You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email at: stewards@wikimedia.org

Note prior block of same childish editor: Ala's's G-Block which got lifted on 10Feb2020, and problem comes back again. Abuse was resumed few days later, then blocked (135.180.76.76), and now comes back as 135.180.75.159 after reboot of modem.

Since 17 January 2016, same long-term x-wiki vandal as: 198.27.208.53, 198.27.209.220 (en), 198.27.209.220 (ja), ‎198.27.140.100, 198.27.142.121 (en), 198.27.142.121 (simple), 198.27.141.134, ‎198.27.141.31, 198.27.140.45. Always focus on adding rubbish vandalism span tags to ruin formatting, accessibility/readability of articles texts. His focus is Thomas & Friends (various languages) and also recently vandalized en:20th century, en:Bertie the Bus‎, en:Roaring Camp & Big Trees Narrow Gauge Railroad and others. Cross-wiki vandalism operating on en~wiki, ja~wiki, cy~wiki, simple~wiki, en~wikiquote, en~wiktionary, and etc. Some former IPs got blocked 3 months, 6 months, and etc.

Sorry for the long time. Is this still needed? --Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:33, 12 March 2020 (UTC) Reply

Yes, this is very needed and increasing urgentcy. Also, scope expanded due to childish vandal edits from secondary IP address on Comcast. Your quick assistance highly appreciated.

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

Latest comment: 4 years ago 23 comments15 people in discussion
Be sure to follow the instructions below:
  • Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information.
  • Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewards connect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversight@wikimedia.org (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks.
  • Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places.
  • If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appeals@wikimedia.org.
Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward.
Temporary accounts (those with username format ~20##-#####) can not be globally locked. See #Requests_for_global_(un)block instead for them.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that:

  1. You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
  2. You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
  3. You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewards connect , especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests.
To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked
Copy one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.
=== Global lock/unlock for Foo ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
* {{LockHide|username}}
* {{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page -->
*...
Reasons, etc. --~~~~

For many accounts: 

=== Global lock for spambots/vandals ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
{{MultiLock|username|username2|username3}}
{{MultiLock|username|username2|username3|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the names to be visible on this page -->

Longterm vandal, uses many sockpuppets to complain about usernames. I can provide info if really needed but at least one of you is probably familiar with his nonsense. —Justin (koavf) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:39, 8 March 2020 (UTC) Reply
