From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

• http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=Jansma&blocks=true&lang=

and by cu on nl-wiki confirmed sockpuppet

• http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=Groningen&blocks=true&lang=

and added the static home-ip addie:

• http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?lang=nl&user=94.212.45.13

Belong to a dutch youngster that perpetuates in a very dangerous kind of vandalism, namely presenting real looking but often wrong information on historic articles on nl-wiki en-wiki de-wiki pl-wiki it-wiki fr-wiki, no-wiki and sv-wiki. It is gross scale falsification of data, adding real looking but wrong "facts"

• http://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ksi%C4%85%C5%BC%C4%99_Sutherland&diff=prev&oldid=19557955 on pl-wiki referring to a hoax/nonsense article removed from nl-wiki and hidden in his own space
• same trick performed on no-wiki: http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hertug_av_Sutherland&diff=prev&oldid=6376339
• nonsense paga on it-wiki about a so called noble family with false links and stating they were very famous for their work: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijleveld_%28Westfalen%29
• trying the same on fr-wiki: http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bijleveld_%28Westfalen%29&action=history

nonsense for the most part removed and each time placed back by him - glatisant and mvdleeuw went to wiki-fr to remove it

• same story here on es-wiki: http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bijleveld&action=history
• same story on en-wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bijleveld_%28Rhoon%29&action=history
• on de-wiki the same happened and they doubt it there themselves http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijleveld_%28Westfalen%29

Thank you - this is the worst kind of vandalism there is and efforts to deal with it on nl-wiki only lead to blocks getting longer and longer (currently six months), blocking of the sockpuppet but he simply when blocked continues with IP-addie and accounts on other wiki-versions.

I oppose this ban I have been given. Why? Well because it is not my fault that non-members can edit the pages. Is it so hard to force people to be members in order to be able to edit? No. Then you should do it. I, here am just representing the average person, but you fellows, you who control this system are failing to control us. Shame on you. Oh by the way, I love wikipedia I watch it every day. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.249.208.186 (talk) 01:10, 5 February 2010

You're not globally blocked because you're not logged-in, you're globally blocked because instead of making useful, positive contributions, you made nonsense edits[1]. We have people not logged-in who make useful contributions quite often, so we're not going to prevent them from contributing simply because you can't control your urges.

The number of pages Wikimedia hosts probably number in the mere hundreds of millions. That's an insignificant percentage of the Internet, let alone the entire world. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 02:33, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

We did not let me on any project, I think this is discrimination. Sometimes I feel like you Advertising. I know I can find all sorts of clones, but not here not leave me alone? Come on, 3 months, but 6? Please all hard to unlock my ip even to contribute as anonymous. They are my last power, please do not discriminated against me so. --79.118.29.196 14:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

You've just been on here making clones and trying to nominate long-standing pages for deletion, among other things. This does not make for a very persuasive case for removing your block. You would be correct, however, in determining that we do discriminate (see definition 1) against people who abusively use clones on WMF projects. I've added a local six month block on the IP due to local disruption. Others are welcome, as always, to comment on the action. Kylu 17:35, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I request unblock of IP 193.206.126.34 because it's part of 50 computers in a national library in Italy where thousands different persons connect every day: 1 year global block is by user:M7 for insults but from solo guy in single language. I would like edit for support your project but it's impossible because this IP is static in all computers here in national library; evidence: see http://toolserver.org/~chm/whois.php?ip=193.206.126.34

This is a long history not only on it.wiki, but also over en.wiki and simple.wiki. Canvassing, insulting, SP creation, impersonating, POV pushing, etc. See IVO/Pio/Darius/Tamburellista/ etc. Ah, http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=193.206.126.34 this link is much more interesting than a mere whois.

Insulting, harassment, massive sockpuppeting, systematic violation of the second wiki's pillar. On it.wiki I saw just two or three constructive edits from the ip. Maybe library's sysadmin can disallow the vandal to edit on wiki but that's not a problem of us. --Vituzzu 18:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

He did have a lot of chances at the Romanian Wikipedia and continued doing the wrong job. I am having daily discussions with him via IM and I do not notice any improvement of his thinking. Of course, despite: "I swear that I quench".

Personally, I support young contributors, but I also oppose the ones who do not show good faith. Minisarm 17:47, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Now, I strongly oppose. User:Sirty is a clone of User:Mr. man and User:Ervin C. -- he told me this evening (via IM) he translated Stewards/elections 2010/Guidelines/ro and I was very surprised about that. He lied once again and he does not deserve any tolerance. Minisarm 18:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

This request is Not done. The user has a history of sockpuppeting and has not shown willingness to change, as evidenced above.--Shanel 12:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

For the record, after having this unblock request rejected here, he came lurking at Romanian Wikitravel (yes, I know it's not part of the officially supported Wikimedia projects). Basically, the same modus operandi: created a Mr. Man account, a couple of administrative edits, and got an email from him asking for adminship. Once he got blocked, he wrote a message on the talk page of the same IP begging to behave... but no, I've seen his actions back at ro.wiki. --Vlad 15:12, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm a bit new to SWMT so any objection due do that fact will be understood in advance, but I'd like to make my request now so I can do the job better and if I fail to know what and when should I do. I normally idle at cvn-sw for some time daily and enjoy countervandalism and being helpful. I've done 2-3 huge mistakes at the beginning in an alphabet I didn't understand (and hopefully managed to revert it myself immediately and apologize) and since then I am very cautious when dealing with any non latin, greek or cyrillic alphabet. If in doubt I prefer contacting a local admin. I have a pretty good experience of patrolling at my home wiki (el.wiki) where I'm patrolling rcs for over ten months and have reverted a considerable amount of vandalism and pure experimentation. --Egmontaz♤ ^talk 11:30, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

For a reason I ignore, Crochet.david has vandalized my user page on many wikis (like hr.wikipedia for exemple). I would need the rollback flag to revert this. If possible, I request the flag immediatly, for a short time (time to revert, I'll inform steward when finish so it can be removed for waiting the end of this consultation).

As I'm member of SWMT and making many global patrols, the global revert flag could be usefull, so I also request permanent flag.

Regards

--Hercule 13:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

It seems that Crochet.david has been running a malfunctioning bot. The reasons for editing your user page are not clear to me, but in any case it is not plain vandalism. I suggest just asking him to repair the errors. Temporary access to global rollback will not be granted. --Erwin 14:05, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, he corrected this. So this request is a normal request of global revert flag. --Hercule 15:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

• Hello Hercule, how about contacting Crochet.david and asking him to revert these edits with his bot (should be unproblematic and easier than revert them by hand), I can't see much involvement in SWMT-work by Your part, please feel free to provide links if You feel I am wrong, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} 15:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
• @ Birdy: Looks like he is not interested to answer. --WizardOfOz ^talk 17:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

hello,

I contacted Crochet and he corrected his errors.

about my cross-wiki activity, most of my actions are tagging pages to delete because reverts are fastidious. I also help with sosop status as on wuu.wikipedia, ace.wikipedia and, in the past, on co.wikibooks

Regards

-Hercule 20:13, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

As it seem nobody agree my request I don't oppose. Even if I don't understand why. --Hercule 10:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Mainly for what you've asked: you requested a global access (temporarily) just for reverting a page on hr.wiki and we don't give a temporary global flag; for a permanent right, I second birdy' view: imho you have not enough activity in SWMT' matters--Nick1915 - ^{all you want} 11:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I have few reverts in SWMT works because I don't have rollback button... So I prefer just taging the pages to delete.

I'm trusted enough to be sysop on 2 small wikipedias where I don't speak the language. I think it's enough to be sure I won't abuse this tool.

Really I don't understand why I can't be granted this functionality (temporary request is withdrawed). But I don't oppose it his close as not done, because I see I won't be given the status.

--Hercule 17:43, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I've never said that you're not enough trusted or inactive, but I've noted that your cross-wiki edits are mostly fossilized before the end of 2009... if you'll demonstrate a renewed engagement, I'll support you next time! --Nick1915 - ^{all you want} 17:59, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I think it's strange to need to show a current need to have a permanent status. Maybe will I make more crosswiki patrols, but it would be easier if I had the tools.

I close the request, because my goal is not to change the rules. --Hercule 18:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Dalibor is a trusted user, has made lot of anti-vandal edits, is a bot-owner, his bot has made a lot of edits across the wikies, he is daily few hours on cvn-sw...

• • WizardOfOz, stick to the topic. Dalibor Bosits is the topic here, not me. FYI, I won't create global account, at least not now. I have my reasons. My work is not less worthy because of that. Regarding de.wiki, I'm glad that you've mentioned that. Users shold now how they (on de.wiki) treat the opponents and opposer's arguments. Behaviour in style: "block the opponent, and then it'll be my way". Anybody interested can see that. That way all other opponents are intimidated. True is that that group of usurpators cannot push their personal attitudes on other wiki. projects, because they're beaten with arguments. Arguments that they blatantly ignore on de.wiki.

A global IP block exempt is not equivalent to multiple local ones. A global IP block exempt only allows bypassing of global blocks and not of local blocks. I'm afraid you will have to keep applying for local exempts when necessary. --Erwin 08:17, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

According to Special:GlobalGroupPermissions/global-ipblock-exempt, users in this global group can have the right "torunblocked" on all wikis. This is what I'm talking about. --Liangent 06:36, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Aye, if it is torunblocked that you need then I think I'd support this as a reasonable request from an established user. It does appear that you would get that, of course you would not bypass local blocks but most wikis do not place those on tor nodes. James (T C) 07:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I have 7,000+ edits on en.wp and have had rollback for quite some time. I understand from some talks with others that Global Rollback is held under a slightly tighter leash than local rollback rights. I want to point out the following (and make a request or two): 1. Please take into account that I am a respected member of the Meta community and have NEVER been blocked for misuse of my editing privileges. There is a block on my account at en.wp however that was due to some misunderstandings of my School Administration at the the time and I was actually unblocked once I graduated High School. Rollback was removed from my account on en.wp once for a misunderstanding between a Sysop and myself, however after some discussion we both reached an agreement and it was returned. The reason for this request is that I am wishing to branch out of my little bubble at en.wp as a vandal fighter and work on other Meta Projects. I understand all of the extra little bits that come with Global Rollback, and I will use with extreme caution and care. I respect the tools, and only use when actually necessary (Like they should always be treated). I am simply asking for a vote of confidence and am willing to be scrutinize here. I was recently introduced to the SWMT and plan on working with them regardless of the outcome of this request. Thanks for the consideration and feel free to ask any questions. I will answer ASAP.

I don't really see a true x-wiki need for global rollback. Where are the x-wiki undos? It's not about trust, it's about need. Sorry, but I,personally, oppose fr33k man ^{t - c} 07:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

In response, I don't necessarily "need" global rollback, I agree 100%. Rollback is never actually needed by any users, other than Sysops generally. It is more about allowing a user to become more effective in a battle against Vandalism. I feel, generally, that Rollback (with the exception of Global due to additional bits being granted) should be given to a user who wishes to fight Vandalism and has a good track record in their edit history. Global Rollback being put aside because of suppressredirect and how you can mark edits you rollback as bot edits. This opens up the array for abuse, however, what I am trying to say is I feel that I have proven myself trustworthy enough through my long term use on en.wp with rollback and no block history. Dusti 07:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, but global rollback is a very wide right. It is generally given to those who have quite a few undos on quite a few different wikis. You have tended to stick to a few wikis; wikis that you could just ask for rollback on, and likely get it. I have no issues in trusting you, but I just don't see the need. In other words, I don't see you actively reverting vandalism on lots of different wikis. fr33k man ^{t - c} 07:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I respect that, and thank you for bringing that up. I agree that I have a few wikis that I do stick to, but as I said above, I am branching out, going into territory. I appreciate you stating that you have no issue trusting me, and that does mean a lot to me. What I am simply stating is that this will make my work a LOT more easier than the undo. What I can do is hit rollback, revert a ton of vandalism in seconds, rather than going through and hitting undo, undo, undo. In that time saved, I can be looking for a sysop to block a vandal. I feel that the biggest concerns with Global Rollback are: "Does this user know what they are doing?"; "Can this user benefit from this tool?"; "Have they DEMONSTRATED their knowledge of the Rollback function?"; and more importantly, "Can they be trusted?". I feel that I have met all of those concerns. Dusti 07:57, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

• Oppose Oppose - This appears to be an attempt to gain yet more flags (see enwiki rights log). Also, per Fr33kman. Tiptoety ^talk 08:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I really don't appreciate the comment "To gain more flags". If you look at the rights log, you will see that I was granted Rollback, I went into account creation and needed that flag. I went on a wikibreak so the ACC flag was removed (rightfully so), and upon returning, I asked for the AC flag to be reposted as I started back up at ACC. How is that trying to gain more flags? I really dont appreciate your bad faith remark Tiptoety. Dusti 08:15, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

• Complete your SUL first. Pmlineditor ∞ 08:10, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I already spoke to the stewards about it. Someone else has the username Dusti on dewikibooks and nowiki. I was told that its okay for now (those wont be included in the global permissions but just to make a note of it, and try to get usurped at some point if those accounts do not edit). I apologize for failing to mention this. Dusti 09:45, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the info. Pmlineditor ∞ 09:50, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

• No crosswiki activity = no need for GR. GR is given out to users who are active in cw antivandalism. Trust is important, definitely; however GR is not for each and every "trusted" user. Suggest helping out at SWMT. Oppose Oppose atm. Pmlineditor ∞ 09:50, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I participated in SWMT recently. When I was going to perform undo by Wiki that did not become "autoconfirmed user" when I worked on SWMT, CAPTCHA operated by having included URL in an object of undo and was not able to perform undo efficiently. In addition, undo does not have good efficiency when the same user edited it than twice. Because I wanted to work on SWMT efficiently, I applied for Global rollback.Hosiryuhosi 17:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't see you as having Rollback anywhere, is that correct? Are you aware of its functions/use/policy? Are you also aware of the additional bits handed with Global Rollback? Dusti 17:56, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but with only 1200 edits on a few projects, I don't see a need for GR at the moment. I suggest becoming more steadily active at SWMT for a while. Good work so far! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

You only got voiced in IRC today - I'd suggest gathering a history of good work before such a request. — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 18:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

I understood it. I apply again after acquiring experience more. Thank you. Hosiryuhosi 18:24, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment Comment: you have rollbacks in some wikis, but your main activity in ja-wikis. Please save your cw-activity and submit new request later. Regards, —Innv {ru-ws} 00:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
