Steward requests/Global

• 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.

@Bsadowski1, @EPIC Please consider this case. HuynhTuanVi (talk) 11:24, 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?

The edit pattern looks different to me and I don't see any evidence for this connection? Johannnes89 (talk) 10:04, 25 January 2025 (UTC) Reply

@EPIC, this user is sock account of Çınarcan. He is using Çınarcan account now. I emailed the steward about gagwiki adminship. He is a cross-wiki spammer. Kadı Message 10:17, 24 January 2025 (UTC) Reply

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
