Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 14 years ago6 comments2 people in discussion
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.
Please also review Global blocking. Only IP addresses can be globally blocked at this moment. Please see #Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding if your request involves an account.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You know the IP address(es) you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
  2. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
  3. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP, if any.
When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request.
To find your IP, please visit http://www.whatismyip.com/
You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email.

Global unlock for D.A. Borgdorff

Status:    In progress

For Reasons, see Discussion with colleagues user talk:Beetstra and user talk:Pieter2 besides a Template on my Talk Page, also in *history* here and e.g. there as well. Thanks in advance: D.A. Borgdorff --86.83.155.44 09:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Previous request was turned down in March (see [1]) and I don't see any convincing new reason why it should be unlocked/unblocked this time. - Robotje 13:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
No comments anymore (been slated, so: {{<!-|.|->}} removal) dAb as per 86.83.155.44 17:28, 20 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
To have the previous decision overruled I think reason(s) should be given that should be both
  • new (not mentioned in the previous request)
and
  • convincing.
Please start by explaining what new reasons you have. - Robotje 07:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Because curiously MM's friend user:Darkoneko invisualized my Talk-page by "Revision as of 11:31, 21 July 2010 (view source) Darkoneko (talk | contribs) (Replaced content with '{{indef}}') ... Newer edit →" ... I'll unfortunately have to introduce a *Permanent Link* op.cit.: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:D.A._Borgdorff&oldid=2048747 Yours Truly D.A.

So that is the only new reason why you think you should be unlocked. Wow! I'm puzzled why that should be a reason to unlock you anyway, but OK, maybe I miss something so I hope you can clarify it step by step. First it might help if you can answer the following three questions:
  1. Who is MM?
  2. Why are you so sure MM is a friend of Darkoneko?
  3. the steward Darkoneko replaced the content of your talk-page by a indef-template (causing the text "This user is indefinitely blocked from editing Meta" and some more info to be displayed). Why would that be a reason to unlock you?

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if your request doesn't include the necessary information.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that:

  1. You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
  2. You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
  3. You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect, especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests.
To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.
=== Global lock/unlock for [[user:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
*{{LockHide|username}}
*{{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page -->
*...
Reasons, etc, --~~~~

Global lock for PauloHelene

Status:    In progress

Cross-wiki vandalism (again). He is making several Korean translations for meta, usability and so on, but all his work is machin-translated and it is just yet another Lorem ipsum. (I suspect he even don't speak Korean.) I and other many users had alerted to stop it, but he is still disrupting.

He had used several sockpuppets, but they're (as far as I know) locked. However, he is still using several IP until now. Global lock for his main account, and global block for his IPs are needed. (Should I request for block IP above separately?) Also, massive deletion for his work is needed. (I've tried to request speedy deletion, but there are too many machine-translated articles for one account and it is hard to trace multi-IP contribution.) Please see Steward_requests/Global/2009-11#User:PauloHelene and Requests_for_comment/Ban_User:PauloHelene_globally for further information. --Klutzy 02:39, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Global lock for TheGustavoReturn

Identified on enwiki as a sockpuppet of globally locked User:Gustavo1997.[3] Jafeluv 22:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Global lock for Tyciol

Status:    Not done

Per the discussion Commons:Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks & protections#Paedophile_bans_from_en.wp, this log, and this edit, this user was "Emergency-banned for activities detrimental to Wikipedia's reputation" on English Wikipedia by the English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee October 29, 2009. The user is also indefinitely blocked on Wikimedia Commons, English Wikiversity, MediaWiki.org, Simple English Wikipedia, and Simple English Wiktionary. No doubt the activities were also detrimental to the Wikimedia Foundation's reputation. Discussion of the user's blockage here on Meta has been at User talk:Sue Gardner#An_unblock_on_Commons.   — Jeff G. ツ 19:39, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I would like to point out here that Tyciol was banned from commons for being a troll rather than a paedophile, and further that the meta discussion is not so much a discussion as a rant by a user who has also been systematically banned from many other projects as a troll. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:22, 19 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
If this is anything at all it would be some form of OFFICE action in practice. If there is proof of the accusations (I could "bold" every word there) then the Foundation ought to approve such a lock. If not then legally it would be very unwise I'd imagine. Just my 0.01 --Herby talk thyme 08:30, 19 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Not done, locking isn't a way of globally banning people, and we have no policy allowing us to do so. He is obviously not a cross-wiki vandal with 15 000 edits on enwiki over 4 years before being blocked there. If the Office wants to do anything, that is up to them. Until such time as an office action is performed, or a global banning-policy is created, it's up to the communities on each wiki how they want to handle this. Laaknor 12:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
