Not done. Since this involves spamming on multiple wikis, please report that account to SRG. There is nothing that Meta admins can do involving global locks, and the account has no edits here. Thank you. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 04:12, 12 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

The zhwiki community has requested the removal of qiuwen.wiki from the global blacklist from time to time, though those requests were declined. I'd appreciate it if others could share their views on the latest request at Talk:Spam_blacklist#qiuwen.wiki. I may be seeing this differently, so some additional perspectives would be helpful for both me and the requester :) – DreamRimmer ■しかく 16:37, 12 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

@DreamRimmer only zhwiki? local whitelist Entry? WikiBayer 👤💬 17:36, 12 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

This, that's exactly what the whitelist is for. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:56, 12 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Actually previous requests were more often about blocking qiuwenbaike.cn (summarized at Talk:Spam blacklist/Archives/2025-06#qiuwenbaike.cn, only the one in 2022-12 requested unblocking, until this year). Unlike previous instances, the current request should be the first one backed by a local consensus.

I don't know how much scrutiny this domain received when it was added to the list. However, I believe the rationale for blocking it does not stand, as I explained in the discussion there. I would like to ask an administrator to review the case. Srapoj (talk) 00:30, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Comment Comment Hello, I hereby apply for the TAI[P]V user access here on Meta-Wiki (for both of my wiki-accounts, if permitted), in order to combat local vandalism, spam, LTAs, other forms of abuse, etc. Also, I already hold the same user permissions elsewhere (while I am an administrator, a patroller and/or rollbacker on many different Wikimedia projects), and I'm familiar with the relevant wikirules. --نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 03:37, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Not done User was warned. Please wait with reporting accounts @Novak Watchmen. A single edit rarely justifies a block, except in cases of x-wiki spam or LTAs. NDG (talk) 09:11, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

@Novak Watchmen they asked a question about creating an article at thwiki and did that more than 30 minutes after your report. NDG (talk) 09:21, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

• Vlaemink (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • GUC • CA)

At Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Project#Interpretation of article 3, participants have now been told 4 times (3 times by U4C members and once by myself) that the page isn't meant to be a forum for discussing systemic failures of the UCoC, and that they should create a case instead. Vlaemink doesn't seem to be taking those warnings for granted and even replied directly to one of them: Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Project#c-Vlaemink-20260813065500-XXBlackburnXx-20260803232500. They also appear to have gamed our system by making a bunch of PGAME-y edits specifically so they could make those comments, so they were clearly following the discussion in the meantime.

I ask that Vlaemink be reminded, by whatever means one deems necessary, that Meta-Wiki is not an appeals court (except through a U4C case). If they want to challenge how the UCoC has been systematically applied in a particular case, the appropriate venue is a U4C case, not a general UCoC talk. -- -- XXBlackburnXx (talk) 08:37, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

I've already warned the user for abusing a functional page some days before. @Vlaemink may I ask why you are continuing what another colleague started? NDG (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hello, I’m User:Kurmanbek (Caner). As you can see on the CEE Newsletter Newsroom page, I’m the new chief editor of the CEE Newsletter, and the newsletter has a global message list. As part of my editorial tasks, I need the MassMessage Sender right to send messages to users subscribed to this list. I have this right on the Turkish Wikipedia, but I need it at the global level. If possible, I would appreciate it if this right could be assigned to me. Thank you for your help. Best regards. Kurmanbek ^💬 13:26, 13 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
