Instructions for making a request
|
|
Before requesting, make sure that:
- You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag
- You have a global account;
- You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
- To make a 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 = Username
}}
The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (no exceptions are allowed no matter how obvious the result may seem). 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 rollback for Hahc21 [edit]
The following request is closed.
I'd like to request the global rollback permission. I've been an SWMTer for some time and I've been using global twinkle ever since, but sometimes, due to the limitations of the tool, I've been unable to timely respond to vandalism on some wikis. Global rollback will improve my response time when reverting edits by avoiding annoying captchas or abuse filters, as well as giving me additional tools to fight vandalism. — ΛΧΣ21 16:06, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Support, from what I have seen, his global edits/reverts and the crossactivity are good and sufficient enough for GR. Furthermore, the user is globally trusted so this is a valid request within the GR scope. Vogone talk 16:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
{{neutral}} (vote striked-through & voted oppose now, see below) GR might be useful for you, but I'm not fully convinced due to 2 failing RfAs on the English Wikipedia (1 and 2). Could you explain please? Trijnsteltalk 16:35, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
weak support I would wish for more experience, but I'd have no problems. @Trijnstel: those RfAs have little to do with global rollback. The English Wikipedia sets very high standards in their RfAs and people oppose for all sorts of reasons. In this case, the oppose reasons were hardly because of his experience in counter-vandalism activity.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC)- Support per his x-wiki activity. --Alan (talk) 17:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose — Activity is fairly recent, and I'm strongly concerned by the hat-collecting. Over this last half year, Hahc21 has requested a large amount of rights, which I have tried to list here, and most of the activity seems to focus on obtaining these rights:
-
- This sums up to a total of 18 rights requests, all of which were made in 2013. In the 142 days we have had so far this year, it makes an average of one right request every 8 days. Most of these right requests were preceded by an increased activity, declining afterwards. See for example, his deletion log on eswikivoyage: Of his 27 deletions, 25 are within 24 hours of the successful closure of his RfA.
- On top, Hahc has also requested access to OTRS and became a member of the Grants committee, status about which he bragged on eswiki's mailing list.
- Aside from hat-collecting concerns, I am surprised to see him act as a bureaucrat, even though he isn't, closing a vote he himself is involved in.
- I would recomend the user not to see rights as an objective, but as a tool. Because of the concerns I've mentioned, I am unsure whether he will continue contributing long-term whilst using the GR flag, and I would like to see a bit more than a few days' activity before supporting.

- fj:User_talk:Hahc21 is also interesting. Request rollback on a small wiki where admins can't grant it? PiRSquared17 (talk) 18:07, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Pfeew… 18 right requests in a half year are indeed much. Although, the fjwiki thing does not seem like a right request to me as Hahc21 seems to know that no rollback group exists there. Vogone talk 18:16, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- OK, I couldn't find the request itself either (just the admin's response), so I think it's fine. Closing the RfA on fjwiki after a week isn't bad, because often users with no comments/votes after a week just leave requests on SRP. This is no worse. There weren't any opposes or negative comments... PiRSquared17 (talk) 18:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- And unbelievable that user (Tucoxn) got admin rights for 6 months instead of the usual 3 months for new admins without local votes. Trijnsteltalk 18:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Well, that is neither Hahc21's nor Tucoxn's fault. PiRSquared17 (talk) 18:37, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- True, but it did happen. ;) Trijnsteltalk 20:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- @Savh: BTW, you even missed his last RfA on enwiki, so that'll make 19... Trijnsteltalk 18:29, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
-
- 18 requests is abnormal, but it alone is not indicative of hat-collection, because I feel Hahc21 has always had the best intentions when requesting rights. What distinguishes him from a hat-collector is that he does not request these rights simply because of their status. My support remains a weak one because of his rather low experience with SWMT.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:53, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Weak support per AGF. His reverts are good so far and I do not see how GR is a big deal.--Steinsplitter (talk) 17:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Oppose, fully convinced by the points brought up by Savh. Trijnsteltalk 18:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)- & per the concerns brought up by Savh and Trijnstel. I am particularly not happy about the last enwiki RfA, where the candidate started writing his RfA before his restrictions were removed even, and merely published the day after or so. The restrictions were in admin-work related areas (Non Admin Closures) and this is troubling to me obviously. Snowolf How can I help? 18:32, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose per Savh; not much I can say that he hasn't said already. -Mh7kJ (talk) 18:38, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- & ; thanks to Savh for putting the list together. While of course not every unsuccessful candidature should be held before someone all the time, there is a bit high number of them here... Additionally I took a look at some cw contributions randomly and think that you still need more experience in crosswiki vandal-fighting, e.g. I understand none of the reverts on sowiki and here there was a revert to a revision which included a non-existing infobox template. --MF-W 21:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- I withdraw this request. I'd prefer to stay using Twinkle than going through this, thanks. — ΛΧΣ21 01:43, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
- Closed as
Not done per user request.—Teles «Talk to me ˱@ L C S˲» 02:20, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Moutonjr [edit]
Hello Billinghurst, My IP address had just been bought 3 months ago, I own it and it points to the OVH datacenter (France). However, It appears that it is already blocked because of the previous owner. As you can see in my Wikipedia history, I am a regular contributor and I can assure you that no spam will occur from this IP. Could you unblock this IP please ? It is necessary for me, who is tunneled through my server with a SOCKS. My IP address : 46.105.55.124 Please feel free to feed my Talk page if you have any queries.
thank you, --Moutonjr (talk) 17:12, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Abuse_filter_helper for Nemo bis [edit]
I would like to inform our Stewards and Meta that a user with global rights on his user_talk on svwiki pretends to not know basic netiquette. I do not require you to revoke the tools, I'm only here to inform you. -- Lavallen 19:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
- What does this have to do with Abuse filter global rights? PiRSquared17 (talk) 19:40, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
- (Edit conflict.) This is not the right place to inform stewards. That would be Meta:Stewards' noticeboard. Regards, Vogone talk 19:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
- Not done. It has nothing to do with this particular global group. Ruslik (talk) 19:42, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
