This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global sysop) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications.
This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion, though only stewards may use {{yes}} or {{no}} templates.

Requests for global rollback permissions

Shortcut:
SRGR

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

Please also review the Global rollback policy.

Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

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

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 {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , 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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

Please also review the Global sysops policy.

Stewards: When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on [[<tvar name="T:GS">Template:List of global sysops</tvar>|Users with global sysop access]] and ask them to subscribe to the [[<tvar name="2">mail:global-sysops</tvar>|global sysops mailing list]].</translate>

Please note that Global sysops discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

<translate> 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;

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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).</translate>

=== Global sysop for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
:''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''

<translate> The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than two weeks (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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.</translate>

Requests for global IP block exemption

Shortcut:
SRIPBE

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review [[<tvar name="1">Global IP block exemption</tvar>|Global IP block exemption]]. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewards

wikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.

Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.</translate>

<translate> If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see [[<tvar name="1">zh:WP:IPBEMAIL</tvar>|this instruction]] to request a local IP block exemption. </translate>

<translate> Instructions for making a request</translate>

<translate> 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;

To request global IP block exemption: 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.</translate>

=== Global IP block exempt for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request

 |domain    = global<!--don't change this line-->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}}
}}
<translate><!--T:6-->
<Add an explanation here>, thanks</translate>, --~~~~

<translate> The request will be approved if there is demonstrated need for the permission, such as bypassing a global block from someone who is not the intended target.</translate>

Global IP block exempt for Kknundy

Status: Done

Global user: Kknundy (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I am a graduate student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and hence spend most of my time logged in from within the university network. As is obvious from a project of this size, I sometimes come across linguistic/factual discrepancies, which I can then not edit due to a global IP block. I am actively involved in FOSS as well as technical writing and well understand the implications improper actions can have on accessibility of important information, but I also appreciate that inaccurate information or presentation is at least as harmful. I guarantee not to use the whitelisting for any vandalism or otherwise improper activity. You can find relevant information about me at my Wikipedia-en user page. Thanks, --Kknundy 03:32, 16 March 2011 (UTC) Kknundy[reply]

Q. What IP addresses do you use? (e-mail me privately). Your current IP address does not seem to be globally blocked as you are able to post here. Ruslik 19:58, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Global blocks don't apply on Meta, so being able to post here doesn't really say anything about the IP being blocked or not. Jafeluv 22:21, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure of the IP blocks I use. Next time I am online from within the university, I'll mail you the IP. Meanwhile 1 IP I apparently got a block for is : 143.89.107.180 Thanks, --Kknundy

This IP does not appear to be blocked. Ruslik 07:27, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This gave a confirmed block yesterday: 175.159.121.21 Kknundy

Also this is blocked right now : 143.89.107.15 Kknundy

Strangely, none of those IPs appear to have been blocked globally or locally. Could you describe the block message you're getting? This is important because we need to know what kind of block you are affected by -- for example, a global IP block exemption would not allow you to bypass a local block. Jafeluv 10:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This block message http://img.susepaste.org/95800732 has been obtained from both 143.89.225.62 and 143.89.107.15. Gateway : 143.89.231.254 and Nameserver 143.89.14.7, 143.89.14.8. Kknundy

This is related to this block. Ruslik 17:14, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not familiar with wiki admin practices. So I do not understand why a block for a different IP from the ones I use should affect me. From what I understand by Ruslik's link, I'm asking at the right place. If my course of action should be otherwise, i.e. I'm knocking the wrong door, please advise. Kknundy

No objections here to grant the flag. -Barras 16:56, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Valid reason for asking the flag; support. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 17:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Done. Ruslik 07:42, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Kknundy
