Latest comment: 9 months ago by ~delta in topic Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding
Due to persistent vandalism and disruption on this page, this page is currently semi-protected indefinitely. Globally blocked or locked users should appeal to stewards@wikimedia.org or UTRS.
If your account was locked with the reason "Compromised account", please contact ca@wikimedia.org.
This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

If you are here because you have been affected by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts.

Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 9 months ago 30 comments11 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

Global unblock for 103.60.175.0/24

Status: On hold

Does not appear to be a webhost or open proxy, to both me and Dane . —‍Mdaniels5757 (talkcontribs) 17:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

I've come to the same conclusion. Done and @Elton: FYI. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
@AmandaNP: I've removed the local Meta-Wiki block accordingly. I'm now curious to what caused this false positive which lead to blocks still active on five other projects, specially enwiki. I personally don't think 103.60.175.0/24 is OP or webhost (after further review), but was led to error by stalktoy results. I would like an explanation from one of you, if you don't mind, to ensure mistakes like this don't happen again in the future. PS: I've set the request 'on hold' only to give you time to reply before this is archived. Thank you in advance. — Elton (talk) 04:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
Honestly, I don't know where the evidence first came from to make the block which renders me unable to comment. I mean I could be wrong, but if we are going to get any clarity on this, @ST47 and Dane: would be the two to ping, as they are on a higher skill level than I am with this. I have a feeling though that some website/script that detects proxies may be the cause. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:46, 4 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

They seem to have stopped a few minutes ago and were only editing simplewiki - a wiki with local administrators. If they want to take action they can do so, but probably no steward action needed for now. EPIC (talk) 09:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

This doesn't seem like a spambot and they have only edited simplewiki, a wiki with local sysops. If they want to take action they can do so, but there isn't much for stewards to do since this is not a proxy or anything. EPIC (talk) 10:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

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

Latest comment: 9 months ago 40 comments14 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 Elshad Iman (Elşad İman)

Status: On hold

Long-term abuse. User has been globally locked before, but unlocked with one-account restriction. But it is obvious that he did not follow it. Being indefinitely blocked on 3 wikis, undisclosed paid edits, continuing legal threats warrants a re-lock. You might want to read this discussion. --Nemoralis (talk) 18:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

This seems like a bit more of a controversial case to me. I'll leave room for comments from other stewards here. EPIC (talk) 18:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

Pinging @Vermont from previous discussion. Nemoralis (talk) 12:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
This page is mostly meant for locks in clear cut cases, and this feels like a more complicated/controversial case. So, honestly, I think a discussion about this should rather be held at SN, just like last time, which is more appropriate for this specific case. EPIC (talk) 12:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
Was there ever a CU result confirming these accounts? If not, this is a really good SRCU candidate as there is data still existing. Please ensure to present evidence and you can ping me for review. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC) Reply

(削除) That does seem sufficient to relock to me. Still going to leave this to another steward though. (削除ここまで) EPIC (talk) 21:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
It seems like I read the SPI page a little improperly. At this point I'm not sure whether this evidence is actually strong enough to relock, given that the recent reports in the SPI seem to have been dismissed. Like mentioned I would probably put this up for discussion again on SN and/or open up a case at SRCU if any data still exists, but this doesn't seem like a case for SRG, a page for clear cut locks. EPIC (talk) 14:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
I was about to say the same thing. The SPI was reviewed by Tamzin and Rae (Rae being a steward, and Tamzin skilled at dealing with socks and getting stews involved as needed) and no relock occurred. So anything we'd be looking at there would be rehashing which we don't do. But again I'll point more squarely at SRCU as last I checked, things were not stale yet and would be a better course than any, just requires some evidence gathering on the filer's part. -- Amanda (she/her) 14:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC) Reply
