Global IP block exempt for Heffalump1974

Status:  Not done

Being a bilingual Russian- & Ukrainian-speaking Ukrainian citizen I have to use VPN to work with certain Russian web-sites, during these periods Wikipedia' security system stops me from making edits. Five years ago I have alreay asked some of your Stewards to let me write here without using that stupid mode "VPN ON, checking some ru-sites, VPN OFF, editing, repeat ad libitum". I wonder if checking my WP-Loyalty (kidding) takes such a long period. Have you finally come to any conclusion, pls do inform me about it. Mind that I'm only a humble editor/translator, and I do not understand your specific terms and procedures, just tell me if it is possible for me to continue my edits without being block and where should I sign my name with blood (kidding again). Heffalump1974 (talk) 23:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC) P.S. I don't know the meaning of "...changed global group membership for Heffalump1974 from (none) to global-ipblock-exempt (Special:Permalink/17681404, for one year", 'cause after that nothing has changed that year.

@Heffalump1974: Global IP block exemption only helps with global IP blocks. As far as I know many proxys are being blocked locally at ruwiki – global IP block exemption wouldn't help there. If you couldn't edit using VPN during your year with global IP block exemption you might need a local exemption. Per ru:Википедия:Исключение из IP-блокировок it seems you need to ask at ru:Википедия:Проверка участников/Запросы на флаг ipblock-exempt Johannnes89 (talk) 05:53, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

1. My IP-address was subject to a block. The explanation given was not helpful.
2. I couldn't edit any wikipedia or wiktionary sites for months.
3. I spent over 2 hours trying to figure out what's going on and how to appeal the block.
4. My block was upheld, but the reason given was slightly changed.
5. I finally figured out that you were blocking the Safari web browser.
The experience was frustrating. I've been editing wikipedia for 17 years using my real name. The org is disenfranchising editors that are not internet technology experts with unclear communication. It took longer that it should have for me to figure out that I must either go to Safari > Settings > Privacy and deselect the option "Hide IP address" or use another web browser.
Let editors get verified accounts that are not subject to this web proxy blocking when logged in, or make sure all potential contributors can easily understand why they are being blocked and which steps the must take so that they can edit wikipedia etc.

Abuse filter helper for Fehufanga

Hello, I am here to request the Global Abuse Filter Helper rights. I am an admin on the Simple English Wikipedia (a Wiki covered by the GAF), where I have created and maintained abuse filters, an admin on the Indonesian Wiktionary, which has only nine local abuse filters and relies on the GAF, and an abuse filter helper on the English Wikipedia. I also do cross-wiki patrolling for vandalism and sometimes I'd encounter an account blocked for tripping an abuse filter. It would be useful to me to see the edit filters that the user triggered, especially if they are LTA filters.

Status:  Not done
Not ending before 16 May 2023 16:21 UTC

Hello. Necessary to respond to requests to change certain names and usernames on the local wiki. Wealszy (talk) 16:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  • (削除) Weak oppose because you haven’t given a reason of why you need/want the rights or why you are qualified to be granted them. You have ~9,000 contributions globally which I find to be quite low. In your request you also state that you want to " change certain names and usernames on the local wiki." You rename users globally, so that doesn’t make any sense. I would reapply again once you have over 10,000 global edits and when you are capable of explaining to the community that you are qualified and why you need the rights. Illusion Flame (talk) 22:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC) (削除ここまで) Neutral Neutral because there are translation issues that prevent me from accurately assessing the candidate. Illusion Flame (talk) 11:02, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
    FWIW I don't think you can rightfully assess the (in)experience of a user with multiple thousands of edits just by checking their edit count against an idiosyncratic threshold, nor do I see why, were the user indeed inexperienced, this should magically change from a 10% increase in that number. As for the concern concerning the nomination, I pinged the user below for clarification and would advise against piling on before we get a response. ~~~~

    If we receive a response, I will happily change my !vote, but until then it stays. Illusion Flame (talk) 21:41, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
    @1234qwer1234qwer4: The respond we received says "I need this permission to rename articles" This isn’t even correct. Illusion Flame (talk) 01:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose, it’s not necessary, and there’s no reason for you to need the rights, especially when it’s not exactly the least damaging right. Zippybonzo (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

    Comment Comment Hello again. I need this permission to rename articles on wikis that need to be renamed, and to respond to username change requests. By local wiki, I mean a wiki in any foreign language (for example: enwiki). Wealszy (talk) 17:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
(削除) Question Question: I like to give you the chance to explain your request a bit more (like 1234qwer1234qwer4), before that, before that I can't really make a fair decision. --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC) (削除ここまで)
  • Oppose Oppose I do not understand your reasoning. What is "the local wiki"? You want to change "certain names and usernames" but renamers can just rename users and noting else. --Ameisenigel (talk) 15:42, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Let me ask you @Wealszy:, is there something on az.wiki that inspired you to make this request? Maybe give your answer in Azeri (alongside English) if you're more comfortable with that. Leaderboard (talk) 17:16, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Leaderboard Requests are made by various users regarding the change of username in Azwiki. I want this permission to speed up the response to those requests. Wealszy (talk) 17:22, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Wealszy:, so your request is for Azeri users, right? Or do you also plan to (later on) process rename requests in other wikis, such as en.wiki? Leaderboard (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Leaderboard My request is for azwiki Wealszy (talk) 17:25, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Support Support. This is clearly a good-faith request by a user who wants to work mainly on az-wiki. While I note that there doesn't seem to be a significant queue in the az-specific page, that in itself should not be a reason to disqualify such a user (after all, most may do this in Meta). Edit count, while not high, isn't that low that one can reasonably argue that the user is unqualified or unexperienced either. The only stickling point is that you don't seem to have adminship, which most rename candidates are usually expected to have as they often use it to process unblock requests, for instance. All in all, I think most of the opposes I see can be traced down to a lost-in-translation, and hence I'm giving you the benefit of doubt as a borderline application. Leaderboard (talk) 17:41, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
    I am not sure the candidate understands what the permissions even do because they said "I need this permission to rename articles." This makes no sense. Illusion Flame (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Illusion Flame:, I think what's happening is that the candidate's native language is not English, and they are trying to internally translate from Azeri, which is causing "lost-in-translation" problems. For example, in your above quote, they would well be meaning "users" when they said "articles". Leaderboard (talk) 04:36, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
    That is a good point. Illusion Flame (talk) 10:10, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

  • Support Support.~aanzx ✉ © 12:23, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Not a sysop on any wiki, and their edit count on azwiki isn't phenomenal either. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 07:27, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
    @SHB2000, I've never seen it stated anywhere that being an admin on any wiki is required before having global rename permission. According to the policy, These requests will run for at least two weeks, and require consensus for promotion and a support margin of at least 80%. While I am here, I am not in favour of and do not oppose this participant. DreamRimmer (talk) 12:23, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
    I never said it was a policy (in fact, there's nothing formalised about this) – I generally oppose any candidate who's not a sysop on any wiki (regardless of size) until they've demonstrated that they're trustworthy (and are a GS, per se). In this case, the candidate does not seem to understand the scope of this role, and their (relatively) low edit count only accentuates my point. SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 12:28, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
    Thank you for your explanation. Have a wonderful day! DreamRimmer (talk) 12:49, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
    Apologies if I wasn't clear earlier. Hope you have a happy Tuesday tomorrow! SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 12:53, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Global Rename is a sensitive tool. I think having sysop access in a project or user's cross-wiki activity is one of the evidences of suitability for this tool. I can't support you right now, sorry. --—MdsShakil (talk) 15:25, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose because you are not active outside of azwiki and wikidata. (It would actually be an Oppose, but due to AGF and the translation issues - "I need this permission to rename articles" - I'm lowering it a bit.) --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
  •  Weak support AlPaD (talk) 19:56, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Candidates are inconsistent in their statements, and it is unclear whether this is a translation issue. So I think giving a right in such a situation not clear is an unnecessary risk. --Tmv (talk) 10:33, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
