Steward requests/Global permissions
This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.
Global rollback and global interface editor requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion while abuse filter helper and maintainer requests require no fewer than 7 days. Global renamer and global sysop requests require no fewer than 2 weeks of discussion. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

Requests for global rollback permissions

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} === {{sr-request |status = <!-- don't change this line --> |domain = global <!-- don't change this line --> |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user --> }} ::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC'' The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential. |

Global sysop for QueerEcofeminist
- Global user: QueerEcofeminist (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA )
- Not ending before 24 August 2022 17:55 UTC
Hello, thank you for reading my request. As I am fighting cross-wiki vandalism, cleaning copyvios, reverting bad edits for a while. Community granted me GR two years ago and being involved in the cross-wiki work has taught me to deal with vandalism and bad edits in those languages which I don't know. I have been sysop on two projects mrwikisource(Permanent) and mrwikibooks(temporary) for 2+years. So I know how to use and (definitely!)how not to use the sysop and interface sysop permissions. I take things slowly and when I am unsure I allow others to take up the task. And I know I won't miss use the permissions. thanks QueerEcofeminist🌈 17:55, 10 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hi @QueerEcofeminist: Thanks for volunteering. A Question Question: Was this edit vandalism? —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 19:18, 10 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @Yahya, thanks for your question, I checked with the edit and history of the page. This particular edits seems to be my grave mistake in identifying the bad edit. But I am sure this must be one in few mistakes I must have made. Thanks again for pointing it out. QueerEcofeminist🌈 00:11, 11 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- w:bn:Special:Diff/5678358 this particular unexplained link removal was the trigger. Which edit was just a minute before the edit in question. Though in larger picture this ip did good edits but lack of edit summaries lead me to this bad judgement. Obviously I should have waited for sometime as I do wait and see before I revert. Thanks for the learning. QueerEcofeminist🌈 00:33, 11 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

- Why was this marked for deletion? It appears to be a sandbox.--BRP ever 00:57, 11 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- New user pasting chunk of text in one edit grabbed my attention, so I marked it with copypaste tag. So that local admins will do the further inquiry and do the needful. And sandbox or any page we can't keep the text if it is copyrighted. Thanks QueerEcofeminist🌈 02:32, 11 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- @QueerEcofeminist is the text copyvio? BRP ever 02:37, 11 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
- It appears to be but only literature expert can only confirms it as sanskrit writing systems makes it difficult to identify using earwigs tools like we can in other languages. It's a interpretation/original work of pd work shishupal vadh so it falls under questionable, so requesting attention was the only intention.

Global IP block exempt for Gameknighter
- Global user: Gameknighter (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA )
<Hi, would like to apply since i often use a VPN to access sites normally blocked for people from the EU due to lacking regard for GDPR compliance. This includes, as a relevant example, many American news sources for usage as part of my work on Wikipedia. Even if I have not used them yet, I very much intend to on the en-wiki. I know i am quite new and have done mostly small edits and copyediting or recently a translation to German on meta-wiki (see IP block exempt). Earlier today, while attempting to correct some spelling and grammar mistakes on an article in the German Wikipedia, I suddenly received a message about being blocked for 1 year due to usage of an open proxy. I quickly switched off the VPN, after which I could not find that block or notfication anymore. I first went to the local Administrator ’s site for requests of that Wiki, the de-wiki, and posted my request there, where an Admin (specifically Johannnes89 recomended me to instead apply here, see this thread>, thanks, --Gameknighter (talk) 17:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
