This is an archived version of this page, as edited by RadiX (talk | contribs) at 04:08, 26 January 2025 (Global lock for Xin Ming Zhu XII: d). It may differ significantly from the current version .

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: 2 months ago 17 comments5 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

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

Latest comment: 2 months ago 54 comments29 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:

Evasion of global lock by en:WP:LTA/Jermboy27. Thanks in advance! -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 06:00, 22 January 2025 (UTC) Reply

per LWCU it doesn't really look like Jermboy. The geolocation doesn't match which usually can be explained by their extensive proxy use but the IP doesn't seem to be a proxy. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC) Reply

We should probably wait for the outcome of the enwiki SPI, looks like it's not 100% clear if the user belongs to LTA ThedetectivePiash1? None of the sockpuppets mentioned at en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ThedetectivePiash1/Archive appears to be globally locked by the way, can probably be resolved locally at bnwiki & enwiki?

Global lock for Randa Kassis spam ring

Status:  In progress

Spam/undisclosed paid editing. All of them are primarily focused on promoting Russia-backed Syrian resistance politician Randa Kassis and her husband Fabien Baussart (except for RoyalKnight66, which is a self-disclosed alternate account of Tortino66's). English Wikipedia established a CU link between Hazar Sam and Ecrivain Wagner. Ecrivain Wagner and Sarah.rammost uploaded the same image with the same name years apart, among other behavioral/content clues. Shpah elnour blew the whole thing open by suddenly making a bunch of edits promoting SEO optimization services, which got that account - and then the whole network - caught. All of the accounts are somehow able to speak a huge number of languages (especially Arabic, English, and French), and are collectively operating on at least 28 languages of Wikipedia + Wikidata + Commons. --The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:32, 26 January 2025 (UTC) Reply
