IP Block Exempt

Hi @Martin Urbanec:,I'm trying to establish an article for our organization: Global Forum on Human Settlements, but it has been declined and then blocked. Could you please help check and advise how we can post a qualified source? Thank you!

Hi @Martin Urbanec:, I'm editing from a public pc because my phone is broken. I worry that I will be blocked because the ip may have been used for vandalism. Could you grant me an ip block exempt? Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 13:26, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello @C1K98V, please request that at Meta:RFH. Thanks! Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:21, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Guidance Request

Hi my account has been mistakenly blocked on fa.Wikipedia. I don't know exactly where to apply for further investigation! my account has been checked completely wrong. If I don't get results in fa.Wikipedia, can I request a review via Meta-Wiki? Amin(امین) (talk) 21:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, the answer is no. Me (or none of Meta's regulars) is a supervisor of the Persian Wikipedia - it is an autonomous project. If they decided to block you, it's a decision of their administrators. I can't do anything here. Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:27, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Stop sending messages here and there. Stewards can't review CU cases of other wikis. Your case was reviewed by Huji before applying the block. Amir (talk) 21:28, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Ladsgroup how do you perma ban 4 users for sock puppetry without a shred of evidence Baratiiman (talk) 12:31, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Do you have evidence of abuse by this user after blocked in English Wikipedia (in 5 December 2019)? I don't think it is a good usecase if there are no new activity.--GZWDer (talk) 10:32, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

For clarifying, if this user have no activity after the sockpuppets are found, I found no evidence that 1. this case can not be adequately handled by local community or 2. there are reasonable grounds to believe the user will further disrupt the site in the near future, so I don't see any grounds for global locks. Without evasion, the blocks in Commons and Wikidata might be removed immediately upon request (none of them are community bans) and once they are removed it is no longer a cross-wiki abuse.--GZWDer (talk) 20:49, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

According to global locks, a global lock may be placed on "Accounts that have violated other principles which are grounds for indefinite blocks on multiple individual wikis". This is a classroom example of such account – it was blocked at literally all projects which they have substantial contributions to - in another words, no project welcomes their contribution.

I don't really want to speculate whether Wikidata and/or Commons are going to remove that block. A global lock doesn't indicate any global ban at all - it can be removed upon request if there's a reason for that (removing a block certainly is such a case, but there's no evidence of that happening).

To answer your question, there is no new direct connection with any accounts – in my eyes, that does not mean the lock is invalid.

Of course, you can ask any steward to re-examine my decision.

Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

I still oppose to this action - this case is much less serious than the INeverCry one. As long as they are no new disruption, there is no reason to lock it. Anyway I will soon start a discussion (probably about global locks in general) in a community venue.--GZWDer (talk) 21:33, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

To raise another point: it is actually encouraged for a blocked user to contribute to another wiki that the user is not blocked (including those they have no meaningful contribution previously). See w:Wikipedia:Standard_offer#Variations. I don't see why it is not the case. Global lock should only be used if such route is misused (i.e. user continue to disrupt in another wiki after they are blocked in one). In addition, a lock hampers users to appeal locally, eapecially on wikis without off-wiki appeal channel like Commons and Wikidata (EmailUser is still onwiki).--GZWDer (talk) 05:32, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Please block

Hi. Will you please block 114.4.0.0/17 (talk · contribs) since IPs in this range have been persistently harassing and vandalizing pages I edited and my talk pages for months. Not only in enwiki but also across several wikis like idwiki and commonswiki. The wider (114.4.0.0/16 (talk · contribs)) is now blocked on enwiki only for some time so he moved to commons and IDWIKI. I have filed to Steward requests 5 days ago and still no actions. Please help. Thanks. Flix11 (talk) 08:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
