This page hosts requests for membership in an existing global group and for requesting Global (un)blocks, locks and hidings. Proposals for new groups should be made on Meta:Babel.

To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global bot, global blocking) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications and for requesting a global block, please indicate why a global block is necessary and for how long.

Any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion and vote.

Requests for global (un)block

71.8.199.1

User:71.8.199.1(IP tools: Google | WHOIS | domaintools | RBL | tools)
(spamhaus | projecthoneypot | malwareurl)

(commons: talk (←links) || Edits: +/- || search)
(enwiki: talk (←links) || Edits: +/- || search)(Tools: GUC | gblock | log | → links ←User talk) | (Reports: COIBot)

Not quite sure but this user has caused disruption on en wp & Commons which now appears to be spreading info here. A cross wiki block might be appropriate in order to get the message over. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 18:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done - 1 month.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 21:04, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
FYI he is back under this IP w:User talk:71.8.197.170. However so far he has only repeated the behavior on the English, Portuguese and German wikipedias. I have notified an admin on the pt wikipedia. I don't know if a global block is required yet or not, but something to watch.Davemeistermoab 18:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Today the user enterred es, fr and pam as well... http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=71.8.197.170&blocks=true. --MagnusA 09:08, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Global rollback for 199.71.213.77

Status:    Not done

It is an open proxy. Thanks, HJS 01:13, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you really want to give the global rollback permission to an open proxy, nor does it have any edits which need to be rolled back, apparently. Are you asking for it to be globally blocked, perhaps? Kylu 01:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

  1. To request, 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]]====
*{{LockHide|Foo}}
*{{LockHide|Bar|wikt:fr:}} (if you know the home wiki)
*{{LockHide|Username|hidename=yes}} (if the username should not be shown here)
...
none currently.

Requests for global IP block exemption

  1. Before requesting global IP block exemption, make sure that:
    • You have a global account;
    • You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
    • You have read the relevant description page for the access you want (see Global IP block exemption). Your request might be rejected if you don't follow their instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
  2. To request global IP block exempt, copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.
====Global IP block exempt for [[user:Foo|Foo]]====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = global<!--don't change this line-->
 |user name = 
 |discussion=
}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a short period of consideration (typically approximately 3 days). If there is significant opposition, the discussion will require at least one week and 75% approval. This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global IP block exempt for Wcam

Status:    In progress

I'm a sysop of zhwiki and I'm from China. Since I'm active in several Wikimedia Projects and sometimes cannot access Wikipedia directly due to the Internet cencorship in China, so I want to request global IP block exempt in order to edit pages via global blocked proxy IPs. Thanks. --Wcam 16:50, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I personally would see no problem with granting this to You. The only problem is there is not yet such a group, it has never been approved nor created, I hope that we can chance this asap to grant people like You such. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 18:45, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
While it's easy here to create a new global user group "global IP block exempt" via Special:GlobalGroupPermissions, it's surely quite difficult whom to give that right: It shouldn't be given out for everyone because of possible CheckUser requests, but to those who really need them (e. g. users in countries with censored Internet access like China, Iran etc.). We should at least start giving it out, that case now seems appropriate. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 23:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC) P. S.: We have that problem on de.wp, too, that we don't know whom to give that right, see de:Wikipedia:IP-Sperre-Ausnahme and its talk page if you understand German (basically pointing to spacebirdy 9_9).[reply]
So far as I know, none of the discussion on granting global ipblock-exempt has produced any consensus. For example, my view is that it should only be granted when global blocks need to be bypassed. Any local blocks should be bypassed by granting local ipblock-exempt on the relevant wiki(s). We need to hash out what we're going to do before we do it. Thanks  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 04:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is one I can agree with because it is for bypassing globally-blocked IPs. Given repeated past discussion, I'd say there's consensus to implement the user group for that, however not for other cases. I'll do it now.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 13:41, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Abigor

Status:    Done

Hi there, Every now and than I cant use my PDA because vandals used my mobile network and made sure it was blocked globally, I would ask the stewards to grant me this right so I can keep editting while I'm on the road because those wikibreaks aren't that much fun, thanks, --Huib talk 13:53, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Though apparently there is no special criteria for Global IP block exempt but anyway Abigor is trusted--Mardetanha talk 21:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On that basis, Done — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 03:10, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Jimmy_xu_wrk

Status:    In progress

Hello, I'm a sysop in zhwiki and from the PRC. Since the Internet censorship there (see w:en:Golden Shield Project), sometimes I have to use tor as a proxy to access some "sensitive" pages on Wikipedia, so I have a tor exit node running on my computer. I already have ipblock-exempt on both zhwiki and enwiki, but on other wikis still something unwanted happens. So here I request for the global IP block exempt permission so that I'll be able to bypass torblock on Wikimedia projects. Best regards.--Jimmy xu wrk 04:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global rollback permissions

  1. Before requesting, make sure that:
    • You have a global account;
    • You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
    • You have read the relevant description page for the access you want (see Global rollback). Your request might be rejected if you don't follow their instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
  2. To request, copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
====Global rollback for [[user:Foo|Foo]]====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = 
}}

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a short period of consideration (typically approximately 3 days). If there is significant opposition, the discussion will require at least one week and 75% approval. This is not a vote, and all input is welcome.

Global rollback for Yaroslav Blanter

Status:    In progress

I am a sysop on ru.wp currently also serving as an arbitrator. At least once a week I check six lesser projects (cv.wp, sah.wp, os.wp, crh.wp, xal.wp, lbe.wp) and less frequently bxr.wp. I used to revert vandalism over there (especially bxr.wp, lbe.wp, and xal.wp, including couple of requests to the stewards, and also once I was a temporary sysop on lbe.wp). I can give the diffs but I believe my bxr.wp recors is the most impressive one. I would like to have the flag to facilitate vandalism reverting on these wikipedias, especially lbe.wp and xal.wp where I am currently the most active user.--Yaroslav Blanter 17:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for an es.admin account

I need to have an admin account on es.wikipedia to make update from the external search engine bar. There is a javascript error like this "Erreur : mySibling is null Fichier Source : http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:SpecialSearch.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript Ligne : 36" Pmartin 10:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Please add a request on the relevant page on es.wikipedia.org. They have lots of local sysops who'll be able to fix the error. guillom 10:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I hope that you contact one of them to solve the problem, because my english is not very good and my spanish is very bad Pmartin 13:05, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Some Spanish speaking people even do understand English, I heard, *summoning Dferg* Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 14:25, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think the better way it s to make what MikeLifeguard suggest to me the last time. I spend a lot of time , and steewart also with this problem Pmartin 15:23, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent, comenting per request) Well, if I can do something, I'm an eswiki sysop and I can speak a bit of English and French... Thanks, — df|  19:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
