Abuse filter helper for Msz2001

Not ending before 20 October 2023, 19:09 (UTC)

I'm an admin and abuse filter editor on plwiki. My main activity on wiki is the maintenance of technical pages, incl. abuse filters. Since the global filters are now applied to large wikis, it would be helpful for me to see what kinds of vandalisms are already covered by them and to suggest improvements (and/or flag potential false positives). I've read Abuse filter helpers. Thanks in advance, Msz2001 (talk) 19:09, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Requests for global rollback permissions

Global rollback for Tanbiruzzaman

Not ending before 8 October 2023 19:42 UTC

Hi everyone. I'm requesting for the GR permission, so that I can easily rollback spam & vandalism on SW. Now I use SWviewer to patrol on SW, and Twinkle Global. But you'll know that the feature of Rollback rights are much easier then other tools. This permission will also allow me to revert vandalism freely without being caught by the abuse filter, which I encounter most of the time, so this will be an advantage for me. Thanks in advance for any kind of comments you have.–TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 19:42, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

• Support Support I think anti-vandalism work is enough. When I see your work at SWViewer, however, I sometimes discover too many reverts against ongoing vandalism. (e.g. pa:ਖ਼ਾਸ:ਯੋਗਦਾਨ/Tanbiruzzaman) I also used to do like this several months ago, but I realized that it's usually not so useful at active vandalism. Despite this, I want to support this request, considering experience and active works. --LR0725 [ Talk Contribs ] 00:59, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Global rollback for 暁月凛奈

Hi everyone. I'm requesting for the GR permission, so that I can easily rollback vandalism and harassment. I am mainly active on Chinese Wikipedia, and I often pay attention to the global contributions of non-Chinese users. I've been noticing more cross-wiki vandalism lately so I need this permission to be more effective. ——Rinna (Talk) 12:22, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose Oppose Thank you for volunteering, but its not enove xwiki experience for me: crossactivity of the last 30 days is ok, but if you Look at CentralAuth it shows only a few Wikis with 0-10 Edits, thats because you started fighting crosswiki vandalism in September, normally GRs are appointed with at least three months crosswiki experience. --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 13:12, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

• @暁月凛奈: I really thanks you for volunteering and I also suggest you to gain more experience with SWViewer and SWMT tools! Don't be discouraged by this outcome! The cross-wiki patrolling could be very hard with some LTAs so, before granting the flags, a bit of experience and good standing in cross-wiki patrol is needed :) Best regards --Superpes15 (talk) 16:13, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Global rollback for מקף

Not ending before 29 October 2023 02:14 UTC

Hi,I fight and revert cross-wiki vandalism, both as part of SWMT and randomly (= xwiki vandals I encounter when they pop-in the local projects I'm active in, as well as Wikiproject:Antispam, and somtimes even requests submitted on SR/G by anothers and still need help to be reverted).
Currently I can rollback only in some of the local projects I'm active in (HeWiki, Commons), and the permission will allow me to operate easily (and with similar efficient speed) in others as well.I know the policy and have read it carefully. If the permission is granted, I will make sure to use it carefully in clear cases of vandalism. In any other case I will continue to use the undo button or TwinkleGlobal, as usual.Thank you for your consideration, · ^מקף Hyphen _෴ · 02:14, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

  @Hi, thanks for the question. I will try to answer, at least from my perspective - it was a silly mistake that resulted from a lack of thought. I wanted to add a photo that received a commendation grade on a local community contest (And was taken by a fairly well-known Hebrew Wikipedian, along with many other pictures that were not related to the same subject), and I didn't think it might have the dimension of a slight apprehension for commercial advertising. To be clear - I have no interest in the subject of the photo and I don't even know what event is documented in it (only where). This photo seemed to me a nice and very high quality one, enough to put it into many article & langs. As soon as I saw that those edits were restored, I stopped, and when I realized the reason, I thanked one of the restorers (I myself hold fairly strict positions regarding publishing as well as conflict of interest/paid editing.).

Global rename for DreamRimmer

Not ending before 19 October 2023 02:06 UTC

Hello everyone, I am here to request global rename permission to assist with rename requests. I would like to help in English and Indic wikis. I am a member of the Volunteer Response Team and locally, I am a New Page Reviewer, Rollbacker, and Pending Changes Reviewer on the English Wikipedia. I'm well-informed about the global and local username rename policies, and I assure I'll use this tool responsibly. Thank you! - DreamRimmer ^discuss 02:06, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose Oppose No advance permission on any projects and no xwiki experience. Also no such work regarding rename has come to notice. Sorry —MdsShakil (talk) 12:49, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  @MdsShakil, I served as an admin on Avadhi Wikipedia but later resigned from the adminship due to time constraints. Personally, I don't believe that being an admin is a prerequisite for having rename rights; having experience in rename policy should be the key factor. Nonetheless, your comments are welcome. DreamRimmer ^discuss 14:14, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  Being an administrator isn't a prerequisite, but having advanced rights guarantees a lot. Global renaming is one of the most sensitive accesses; we need to make sure it is used properly and carefully. In response to others' comments, rename related task involves not only clerking but also reporting inappropriate usernames to administrators. —MdsShakil (talk) 16:22, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  @MdsShakil, I agree with you. While working on the English Wikipedia, I have reported many such usernames to en:WP:UAA while adhering to en:WP:BADNAME. In addition to reporting several promotional usernames, I have also left messages requesting username changes for users who have made constructive edits.

  @MdsShakil, Despite my best efforts, am I unable to earn your trust? DreamRimmer ^discuss 01:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  @MdsShakil, still oppose? I want to assure you that I won't disappoint you. DreamRimmer ^discuss 13:15, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  DreamRimmer, please do not repeatedly ping people in this manner. I understand that your intent is to respond to MdsShakil's concerns, but a response from him is not required. Continually pinging opposers is generally considered unconstructive. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 22:49, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  I am a user in good standing on the English Wikipedia and was disappointed to see an opposing vote just for this reason. So, I pinged them to get their opinion about my answers, and if it is not necessary to do so, then I will not do it in the future. Thanks! DreamRimmer ^discuss 01:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

• Support Support. There is no requirement to get any sort of advanced rights on these projects, although experience is required (which that person appears to have). There isn't much point of "clerking" either. This is not a role that explicitly requires crosswiki experience either (i.e, this is not an application for global rollbacker for instance). I don't see anything wrong with the OP's request, and this one gets a support. Leaderboard (talk) 12:57, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Additionally, I've made an effort to learn from other renamers by studying their logs. DreamRimmer ^discuss 14:13, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

• Question Question: As you mentioned the Volunteer Response Team, for how long are you member, and how would you rate your activity compared to the average member? --Krd 15:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  @Krd, I recently joined VRT, and I am trying to be active. I've handled a few tickets and spent time moving spam to the junk folder. I make sure to respond to tickets that I feel confident about addressing, and for those that require more expertise, I leave them in the queue for our more experienced members to handle. DreamRimmer ^discuss 15:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  I understand from your answer that you - understandably for the short time membership - not completely arrived at the VRT daily business, so unless anybody convinces me that Global Renaming is a nobrainer, I'd like to Oppose Oppose and suggest to focus on one new difficult topic at a time. If I'm mistaken, please advise. Krd 16:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  @Krd, I was traveling continuously for some time, as I mentioned in the notice on my English Wikipedia userpage, which is why I couldn't commit as much time. However, if you look at my contributions on English Wikipedia, you'll see that I've been making daily edits even while traveling. In two days, I'll be back home, and I'll have more time to dedicate. DreamRimmer ^discuss 16:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  @Krd, still oppose? DreamRimmer ^discuss 08:33, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  A travel situation to my personal view explains why you perhaps have not been as active as normal, but not why another application is performed while the previous new task is not arrived at. I'm generally not opposed to having many tasks, which I'm myself guily for, but going for an addtional thing while the last one isn't achieved yet, doesn't appear to be a good approach. Krd 10:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  @Krd, I genuinely appreciate your words of understanding. I've always been mindful not to ask for rights I don't truly need. I do my work carefully to ensure no mistakes are made, and all of this takes a significant amount of time, resulting in less visible progress on the ground. I use my existing rights daily, and I will dedicate ample time to Rename and VRT. I want to assure you that I won't disappoint you. I have complete faith that you'll give me the opportunity to prove myself. Thank you. DreamRimmer ^discuss 12:35, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Weak support I have noticed certain level of criticism from other users pointing lack of experience, however, despite that being justified, I don't think it's serious enough not to grant the user global rename rights. From my point of view, they have demonstrated enough experience and knowledge to perform global renaming accordingly. I have to admit however that I got a little less supportive seeing the excessive pinging above. --V0lkanic (talk) 11:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

• Neutral Neutral No advanced perms on any medium-sized or large wiki as of now. The reason why I'm going neutral is because passing an RfA on enwiki is near-impossible. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 05:33, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
• Neutral Neutral The candidate has edited w:WP:UAA only 13 times ([1]). Five of those requests were declined. Instead of being a non-administrator, there is not much to indicate familiarity with regard to usernames. Syunsyunminmin 🗨️talk 06:17, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

  The five requests that were declined were also promotional usernames, as evident in those historical revisions. Those requests were declined solely because I mistakenly reported them with zero edits during my early days of editing. DreamRimmer ^discuss 12:55, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

  Whether or not they actually violate local policy, 13 counts is not enough for me to support. Syunsyunminmin 🗨️talk 13:07, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

• Comment Comment I've been fortunate to receive good support for my request, and there's still a week left for more comments to come in. However, I've thought it over and decided to withdraw my request at this time. I believe it's important to learn from the feedback provided by those who opposed or remained neutral, and I plan to reapply in a few months with these lessons in mind. I want to be clear that I can't promise obtaining administrator or any advanced permissions on any wiki, especially since I am primarily active on the English Wikipedia, where RfAs can be quite challenging. Nonetheless, I hope to have your support in my next request. Thanks! DreamRimmer ^discuss 14:32, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Global rename for TenWhile6

Dear Wikimedians, I would like to ask for global rename rights. My home wiki dewiki has just three users active in renaming.

  Hi @Krd, many thanks for the questions.

  1) since last month I am watching the dewiki rename page and also looked at the archives to get Experience on how to deal with those Requests. The Question under the request was not made by a renamer, it is „only" a dewiki sysop. The Problem is, That the Account is Not responding, so yesterday I Made a Suggestion on how to Deal With this specific Request. No user including our GRNs objected so I Said That it would be Good to Wait a week and then renaming the user. That shouldnt Look like a decision, I just took the initiative. And, if I will be elected, I will maybe make a no/yes decision on That, but without GRN i am only acting there As a normal, dewiki contributor. For an example, I also helped another User this Week [2]

  2) Per Intro of WP:BÄ, no, because the homewiki is enwiki and he isnt contributing on dewiki... but if the contributor is speaking German and having More edits in dewp than on enwiki, it was like a greyzone and was Done by one of our GRNs this month. example From september I hold contact to all three GRNs and will ask them for help if I am unsure / in such unclear / greyzone Requests. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 10:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  to 1) But I unterstand that it was not well worded and could be misunterstood as a decision, so I clarified that its not a decision. [3] A GRN already answered and decided to skip the week waiting time I suggested (not needed). Thanks for the Feedback, feel free to ask of you still have questions or concerns.

Global rename for Moheen

Not ending before 2 November 2023 21:21 UTC

Hi folks, I'd like to nominate myself as a global renamer. I made my first request in 2017 and served as a member of the global renamer until 2022 and helped 38 users change their names. My right was revoked as I was unexpectedly busy with personal and mental reasons during the pandemic. There is regular traffic on our local request page, and I would like to help aswiki, bpywiki and satwiki as well. I'm aware of all relevant GRP policies as well as their scope. Since 2010, I have been an active Wikimedian on several projects (sometimes as SWMT member), and currently have sysop rights on Bengali Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons; additionally serving as a VRT agent.

  In light of the user's new indef block on enwiki, I have been forced to reconsider. On the one hand, global renaming is entirely separate from copyright rules and there is no indication that I have seen that the renaming rights were misused previously. But, it does speak to the user's ability to follow policies. Unlike most cases where someone is requesting advanced rights, here the user has a clear track record with those exact rights that can be used to evaluate the request. The closest parallel that comes to mind is w:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Floquenbeam 2/Bureaucrat chat - given a history of using the rights properly, if that can be used to outweigh objections over recent actions. To me, I believe that despite the indef block (which the requesting user here has not yet responded to on enwiki) it should not prevent Moheen from carrying out global renames, but I'm reducing my support to a  Weak support in light of the block. --DannyS712 (talk) 19:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

• Strong oppose After observing this user for the last several years both on and offwiki and working with them in the same community, even in the same geographic region allowed me to get an in depth idea of this user's behavior that is quite problematic. A user, who got blocked on enwiki three times in the last ten years should get enough time and chance to rethink of their approach (Though how a user who got blocked indef for violating a basic rule of wp like CV on enwiki is still the sysop on another language wp and even on commons where CV can be fatal, can be of another discussion in the relevant wikis or even on meta if needed). Aside from the enwiki indefinite block, their abuse of advanced rights in several wikis, nitpicking, newcomer biting (which may be harmful if this user is granted global rename rights), abusive offwiki behavior left me only one option and that is a strong oppose. I hope that they take a few more years to regain the broken trust and keep satisfactory track record of good editing and then they can apply for advanced rights later. -- BIDROHI ^Hello.. 13:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
