Hi, I'm Jan Myšák and I'm a cswiki sysop. I've been doing RC patrol there for over a year, I revert cross-wiki vandalism using SWViewer and I also patrol on enwiki using Twinkle. Hence global rollback would come in handy for me. Best, --Jan Myšák (talk) 19:04, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose Oppose I don't see any cross-wiki evidence? The edit matrix is bad, and your statement mentions work only in cswiki and enwiki (which has its own rollback procedure if you are looking for that). GR is generally for users who work on several wikis. Leaderboard (talk) 19:11, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

@Leaderboard: I opened Jan Myšák's GUC, and I do see some undos there at multiple wikis. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:16, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

only in this month. He was not active before that month. -WikiBayer 👤💬 19:20, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Well, he's active much more in this month, but not only, see [1], [2] or [3]. GR should not be that big deal, in my opinion, trusted users from medium/large wikis with some experience in xwiki patrolling should be considered. However, I fully respect your opinion. Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

@Martin Urbanec: Hi, it was not clear to me what the OP was looking for, because their statement mentions only cswiki and enwiki. Am I missing something? Leaderboard (talk) 07:52, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what OP means. The statement says "I revert cross-wiki vandalism using SWViewer", too. Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:45, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Weak support He/she is an admin on cswiki. There has been a cross-wiki activity of about 60-70 wikis for the last 2 weeks. Maybe he/she could be a little more active before this request. However, there are a few edits he/she has undone between August and November. For these reasons, I can't directly oppose this request and can't give full support. Thank for your edits. --Uncitoyen ^talk 20:41, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

  • Oppose Oppose It looks like they don't have an understanding of cross wiki patrolling yet. Please don't get discouraged by this and come back when you have more experience. Also, if you don't know the language, don't revert, unless it's purely vandalism/spam. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:31, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

• (削除) Neutral Neutral (削除ここまで) While the fact that they are a sysop on cswp prove they are reliable, but to be honest we are seeing very little of crosswiki activity (mainly due to them starting for 1 month only per 1997kB). I am seeing this and the above application as premature, there is no doubt they can be trusted (just as SCP-2000), but then there isn't much use cases (like heavy use of undos until the point a rollback will be preferred - to be honest undos aren't that painful). (削除) GR isn't a very big deal either so that partly negates. I really don't see a real reason to oppose, but doesn't see a real reason to support either. Hence, I am neutral here. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:05, 26 December 2020 (UTC) (削除ここまで) Per the below evidence given by MrJaroslavik (thank you for pointing out the diffs), there seems some problem with reverts which shows a lack of experience which might end up with some problems. I am sorry but to Oppose Oppose this. A few more months of xwiki work will be more desired. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:54, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

  6 — pure vandalism.—Iluvatar (talk) 16:15, 26 December 2020 (UTC) 6 — (please, always check history of page when SWViewer not tell you that this is first revision). 5 — Small wikis often different (more lower) criteria of notability and spam. 9 — good action, no problems; 10 — no problems (WP:BOLD) and not related to SWMT.—Iluvatar (talk) 17:50, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

  Analysis: 4 is really content changes that seems valid, hence shouldn't be rollbacked (or without a summary undo), 5 the tagging of spam is harsh, undone by a local sysop, well the subject I googled seems valid (some news coverage), tone isn't promotional, but we cannot judge local consensus. Often I also tagged something for spam and some local sysops disagrees, but this one really doesn't seems spammy. 6 is pure vandalism (I agree with Iluvatar - Martin action is just to save the page which only is possible if you know the language) 7 seems valid changing of images, the new one seems better, but anyway this doesn't allow for undos without summary or rollback 8 clearly good faith edit, shouldn't be rollbacked as it is very BITEy (see the birth date and the date added - it's the same) 9 No comments on this 10 Clearly we shouldn't be changing sources, but if we would, the better way is to cite it, but it's nothing to do with SMWT, and in SMWT we do not take care of content, just patent vandalism we handle, so such changing of content is a little worrying.Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:52, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose Oppose sysop on a couple of wikis does not convince me, but rather consistent x-wiki activity does. In addition, the links provided above are concerning and show a lack of experience: therefore, I oppose. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 16:08, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Comment Comment They seems to edit en/ja/zh/commons, it seems valid request anyway. And I am still not seeing anyone granting them IPBE locally (for 7 days) + no one seems to point to them the pages for help to get one locally w:zh:WP:IPBE/w:en:WP:IPBE/commons:COM:IPBE. I note that -akko requested IPBE for them on commons but that was unfortunately not actioned still (partly due to an off-topic / maybe on topic discussion of their signature not showing their username - here too). I don't see any reason not to grant per normal GFW exemptions. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 17:22, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Not done @Bsherr: Almost all of your contribs are at English Wikipedia. Would you please request local IP block exemption instead, via checkuser-en-wp@wikipedia.org? English Wikipedia blocks open proxies and VPNs locally, so GIPBE has no sense in English Wikipedia context. Best, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:14, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Zhouii, could you specify whether you intend to edit other wikis than Mandarin Wikipedia? --Base (talk) 09:23, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Base, yes, I attempted to start to do some translations from Mandarin to English, and I found my proxy IP is forbidden to edit. But Wikipedia is wholly blocked in China and I have to use a proxy to visit. So I wish to have IP block exemption. Thanks! --Zhouii (talk) 12:58, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Zhouii, Done. Please be aware though that despite global exemption you might still need to ask for a local one in some wikis if the block you run into is a local and not a global one. --Base (talk) 12:11, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I've been automatically updating a couple of self-created plots and maps on commons from a VM. The VM this bot runs on has an IP-address in the 34.64.0.0/10 block, which seems to be globally blocked. Please grant me an IP block exemption.

@ColaziviBot Could your operator please come here and confirm this request from their own account? Also, it seems your request is commons-based. If that is the case, I would recommend to request a local exemption from Commons administrators (you can include such a request in your request for bot approval). Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:58, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, sure, I'd like to confirm this.

I've just come here because the error message I got, told me so. If the commons-admins can also exempt me from a global IP-block, this would be fine by me as well. --Colazivi (talk) 14:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I am regularly patrolling pages on the English Wikipedia, and can help with Global Renames. I have know-how, having spent time (about 4 months) on Miraheze. While people might consider this a WP:NOTNOW case, I have knowledge, and global rename requests aren't done that fast. The process generally takes about 1 month, and it's slow. I can help speed this process up. I have read and understood all rename policies (local and global), and with global renamer I would help reduce the rename backlog by 100x. Feel free to leave questions, and I will respond as soon as possible, most likely in the 12-5pm, PST range. I know what spam requests look like, and have combated vandalism for a while now. I am trustworthy, and will not abuse these tools in any way. I have knowledge of Native English, as well as some Spanish. BlackWidowMovie0 (talk) 22:40, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

ZabeMath, It happens sometimes. Now actually done. Please make sure not to lose your scratch codes. --Base (talk) 05:45, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

i would like to have additional security on my account, i have been enabling 2FA on most of the accounts that allow to do so. Thanks. -- Hsilamot (Insultos | Contribuciones) 16:43, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@Hsilamot Did you read the help page, please? Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:48, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@Martin Urbanec ahm,,, yeah, i just checked it again, it says its mandatory for certain roles, but optional for others, does that mean that a normal user is not elegible for Beta testing the 2FA? -- Hsilamot (Insultos | Contribuciones) 17:29, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@Hsilamot Every user can betatest 2FA, however, you need to be aware of the risks (losing scratch codes will lock you out of your account, forever). If you're fine with that, I'm happy to add you to the group. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:31, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@Martin Urbanec oh oh, i see, so the question is if i'm aware of the risk of loosing my recovery keys (scratch codes), yes i'm fully aware, i have multiple backups to not lose this information. -- Hsilamot (Insultos | Contribuciones) 17:53, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@Hsilamot: Done then. Enjoy! --Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:04, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

I've been a longtime user of Authy, so it would be nice to add security to my Wikipedia account. Thanks, --Troutfarm27 ^(Talk) 23:57, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
