  • Oppose Oppose, according to you global contributions, maybe you need more cross-wiki experience. The glocla rollback flag is not just for Chinese-related projects. --Stang 09:27, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose, you have never used the undo button for other than your edits outside of the Chinese Wikipedia, so there's no need for the global rollback. Stryn (talk) 09:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose, I agree with the others. And having only 92 wiki's where an account exists is not global. Rollback works on every public Wikimedia wiki. --Wiki13 talk 10:28, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose, Global rollback works on all 400+ (if I'm correct) Wikimedia wikis. Also previous candidates typically are good at reverting vandalism across wikis where they are not proficient in the language of the wiki. Most of your edits have been to articles about a chinese wikipedia where you hold temporary sysop access and the bulk of your edits are to the chinese wikipedia and the classical one where you hold sysop for now. As per my comments and the above I oppose --Sau226 (talk) 11:01, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose, lacking experience at crossactivity. I recommend you to join this team, if you want to have experience, for example. Also, I agree with Stryn. --Ks-M9 [disc.] 14:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC).
  • Oppose Oppose per above --Alaa :)..! 17:32, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose per above, concerns with limited x-wiki experience -FASTILY 07:41, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Per all above comments. —Alvaro Molina ( - ) 16:37, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose. Lack of cross-wiki work. Edits are centered on only two wikis. I suggest you to ask those rights locally if you need to use it in any other wiki.—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S ˲» 17:29, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose: Sorry, you need addition of cross-wiki contributions. Such as like Commons, Wikidata and English or other language projects site. Not just only the Chinese projects site. SA 13 Bro (talk) 01:33, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Neutral Neutral. Thanks for volunteering! However, per above, we need to see your contributions on more Wikimedia wikis, especially on fighting vandalism. I stay neutral for now. ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · 17:17, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
  • moral support. First of all, thank you for volunteering and offering to participate in counter vandalism in these projects. Unfortunately, Global Rollback flag granted only to users experienced in cross wiki counter-vandalism, which includes wikis whose language barely understand (or more likely not at all). So I would advise you to withdraw this request; it won't be successful this time. However don't let this discourage you. Use the undo function to revert vandalism in these wikis (unless they are compatible with twinkle, which is way better-pretty much like rollback). If any of these wikis has a local rollbackers' group, you may request that permission according to the local policy. If not, you can continue like that and maybe request adminship to one or two of them, especially if they are small and/or have few or no active admins. Also, if you feel that you would like to participate in cross wiki countervandalism, please do check Small Wiki Monitoring Team, and maybe come back here in the future. (feel free to contact me if need any help) --Kostas20142 (talk) 19:37, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
    (@WAN233: pinging them, forgot before)--Kostas20142 (talk) 19:45, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions. I decided to give up temporarily and I will do better.--WAN233 (talk) 14:31, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Requests for global IP block exemption

Global IP block exempt for Trebuchette

Status: Done

I prefer to use NordVPN to maintain my privacy, but I also like to edit Wikipedia. I've contributed in the past, which I think proves me to be a legit user; can I have an exemption? Thanks --Trebuchette (talk) 22:29, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Done Ruslik (talk) 18:32, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Racconish

Status: Done

I am now using a VPN service for privacy and security, particularly away from home. I have made over 100,000 contributions in more than 9 years to various projects, I am a rollbacker on the French WP, the English WP and Commons, and have been elected 7 times in a row as an arbitrator on the French project [1]. I would appreciate it to be able to avoid postponing my contributions when I travel. Thanks, Racconish 19:26, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Strong support Strong support more than trusted user, absolutely no reason not to grant the flag, in my opinion. --Kostas20142 (talk) 19:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Vigilius

Status: Done
  • Global user: Vigilius (edits (alt)CAglobal groups crossactivityverify 2FA )
  • Discussion: I need to use a VPN for security. As far as I know, my VPN, privateinternetaccess.com is not open in the sense of "leaky", they require payment before use. However, it seems that most (all?) their hosts have been blocked by Wikipedia. I therefore apply for permission to still be able to edit under my username.

, thanks, --Vigilius (talk) 23:17, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Emir Özen

Status: Done
  • Global user: Emir Özen (edits (alt)CAglobal groups crossactivityverify 2FA )
  • Discussion: I am a patroller from the Turkish Wikipedia. Wikipedia is banned since April in Turkey, so as Turkish Wikipedians, we need to use VPN to access Wikipedia. But this makes us unable to edit articles since using VPN is banned from editing (I can edit only the Turkish Wikipedia for now, where I have IP block exemption rights). At first, changing DNS worked, but later it got banned too by the Turkish goverment. So, I need these rights to be able to edit Wikipedia.

Thanks, --Emir Özen (talk) 19:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2018年12月12日. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 06:15, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for AhrimanAmmaneh

Status: Done

<Wikipedia is blocked here in Turkey>, thanks, --AhrimanAmmaneh (talk) 12:10, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

I have to use VPN to access Wikipedia. I'm using "browsec.com" extension on chrome to access any of the wikis right now and this is the message I got:

Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis.

The block was made by Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is leaky colo + open proxy at 46.101.78.152.

Start of block: 00:17, 1 December 2015 Expiration of block: 00:17, 1 December 2020 You can contact Vituzzu to discuss the block. You cannot use the "Email this user" feature unless a valid email address is specified in your account preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 46.101.18.209, and the blocked range is 46.101.0.0/17. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

Global rename for Atcovi

Status: Not done

I have been doing a lot of work on Steward requests/Username changes and a lot of cross-wiki SWMT work as well. After a couple of months of clerking on the Username requests page, I've decided to apply for global rename myself to speed up the username changing process. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Renew global editinterface and global delete for Pathoschild

I use global editinterface and global delete permissions to run the Synchbot service and maintain scripts crosswiki (mainly the former now). With Synchbot I've mostly focused on the global user page migration and handling user requests from global user pages#Removing local pages, and fulfill the request queue periodically. I'm not otherwise active, but I'd like to continue this work; stewards have indicated they'd rather not take over Synchbot. :) —Pathoschild 23:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Comment Comment. There is a problem with the "delete-global" (or global deleter) right. So, I've started a discussion here for the problem. Ajraddatz removed these rights from the global group. --Ks-M9 [disc.] 16:13, 14 December 2017 (UTC).
I removed the group after nobody had been in it for a few months. It'll take about 5 seconds to re-activate it if this request passes :-) – Ajraddatz (talk) 22:40, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. Now it can be solved :) --Ks-M9 [disc.] 23:08, 15 December 2017 (UTC).
