Eine Frage

edit

Servus Blablubbs! Ich bin einer von Administratoren der Kroatischen Wikipedia: bezüglich der heute durchgeführten globalen Blockade des Wiki-Benutzers Kubura, wollte ich nur fragen, ob jetzt dem ehemaligen Stewardkandidaten ~riley die geklaute Stewardship (durch Kubura's Sockenpuppen) doch rückgängig anerkannt und gegeben wird? Freundliche Grüße, Maestro Ivanković (talk) 19:10, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Maestro Ivanković. So weit ich weiss wird das nicht passieren. Allerdings sind im Februar erneut Steward-Wahlen (siehe Stewards/Elections). ~riley müsste also dann erneut antreten können. Beste Grüsse, Blablubbs (talk) 19:15, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

I request Small Wiki Monitoring Team to constantly monitor Vandalism, page attacks on sdwiki. Thanks JogiAsad (talk) 08:57, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

DiscussionTools

edit

Hello,

The Editing team has scheduled a major update to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools (the new Reply tool) for next week's deployment train. Since you invoke the feature from a script (I do, too), you're probably going to see that update next week, before it's officially released in the mw:Beta Feature system. The new update will use a similar system for starting a ==New discussion==. As before, full-page wikitext editing will not be affected. There is more information on the project page at mw:Talk pages project/New discussion.

If you encounter problems next week, please ping me or leave a note on the talk page for the project. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:49, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Global lock for Arifin sulaiman

Hi. Can I request a global lock for this user? He is a sock of Agus suharto. Danke. Flix11 (talk) 07:37, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Rollback

edit

Please review Meta:Rollback#When to use rollback. This is not an appropriate use of rollback. Thank you. Naleksuh (talk) 18:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, seems like my summary script didnt work. I did immediately explain my revert on the talk page once I noticed – apologies. Though I will note that your question is not an appropriate use of the steward election QA format, and I suggest you drop the stick and walk away. Blablubbs (talk) 18:12, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
How exactly is the question not an appropriate use of the "steward election QA format"? I was planning on opposing, but I wrote a question instead in case Vermont wanted to explain themself. Instead, people have taken the lighter approach as an opportunity to protect Vermont- not just by complaining, but by removing the comment claiming it is a personal attack (but of course, if someone else had said that to me, then it would be completely fine). I have also noticed that two different editors who frequent simplewiki along with Vermont have decided to show up despite not having interacted with the steward elections in any other way, which makes me suspicious of canvassing.

We're still collecting feedback for the IP Info feature

Hello @Blablubbs, there's still time to test the IP Info feature and share your feedback. Br –– STei (WMF) (talk) 18:09, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Is this some kind of joke?

@Blablubbs @Johannnes89 When did I get involved with this global spammer? <- removed per Meta:Civility --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC) ->. I have never ruled your lovely English section, only worked in my section, which already has almost 3 thousand edits. You also filed a global lockdown <- removed per Meta:Civility --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC) ->. Alibek Attamonov (talk) 12:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Alibek Attamonov I've reminded you of Meta:Civility a couple of days ago. Please consider this a one time warning: If you repeat insults such as the ones I removed, you will be blocked on metawiki. --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Okay, sorry, but in reality, I haven't bypassed anything and have never spammed anything, and they take the account and block it Alibek Attamonov (talk) 13:10, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Commenting here per insults claim: the user in question seems to be emotional and this is made worse by his relying on machine-translation. Even in the section that's left I see his Russian for "edit" is being translated as "rule" (the same word in this context). I have recommended him to avoid using machine-translated text and write in plain Russian, so that the readers understand that whatever comes out is not like it was meant within the original cultural context. Thanks. Frhdkazan (talk) 14:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
You are blocked because technical data unambiguously connects you to past accounts of that farm. The data in question has been made available to other checkusers and to stewards, who can, and almost certainly will, double check my work in evaluating the lock request. If you wish to contest your block on enwiki, you are free to do so on your talk page there. Blablubbs (talk) 13:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's where the fun part comes in, I've never gone around and the intersection could be false. In Meta, I have dealt, exclusively, with translations of rules, and in sections with translations of articles into languages I myself understand. I have never ruled the English section of wikipedia in my life, much less bypassed the blocking. In the Tatar section of the wikipedia, analogously, I was engaged in articles for the contest outside the global section.
The largest number of edits in the Uzbek section, in which I dealt with the elimination of spam, which is also in the global section, this is not the first time. I never bypassed the blocking. I'll add that I myself searched for a blocking bypasser and submitted requests. It sounds absurd, to be honest. Alibek Attamonov (talk) 13:16, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Commenting here per Alibek's statement above: myself & other admins from Tatar Wikipedia can attest to his constructive contribution into our Wiki. This December we've recognized it at the Annual Jewels of Knowledge Ceremony supported by Tatar Internet Development Foundation. Since then we have further seen him doing valuable cultural ContentTranslation from and into Russian and Uzbek Wikipedias. I can't have anything to say about our distinguished enWP community decision, but, if at all possible, as a founding member of 2019 Wikimedia Language Diversity relaunch & Hub, Tatar & Turkic languages UGs, still on Wikimedia Russia board, and active member of Wikimedia Central and Eastern Europe & Central Asian communities, I would request we are given a chance to keep this constructive editor continuing contributing at least into non-Western European languages. Thank you in advance. en:Farhad Fatkullin, 2018 Wikimedian of the Year Frhdkazan (talk) 14:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
