Requests for global (un)block

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. Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally. Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP. Saying an IP is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined. Instructions for making a request Before requesting, make sure that: You know the IP address(es) you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP, if any. To make a request for the address(es) to be blocked or unblocked Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) should be blocked/unblocked. === Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address|Some IP address]] === {{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template --> * {{Luxotool|IP address}} Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~ 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 https://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 at: stewardswikimediaorg

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

Note that global blocking currently only applies to IPs, due to a technical limitation. If you wish to request a named account for global [un]locking, please request a global [un]lock here instead. Be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information. Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversightwikimediaorg (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks. Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places. If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appealswikimediaorg. Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward. Instructions for making a request Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that: You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s). You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption. 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 one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked. === Global lock/unlock for 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. --~~~~ For many accounts: === Global lock for spambots/vandals === {{status}} <!-- do not remove this template --> {{MultiLock|username|username2|username3}} {{MultiLock|username|username2|username3|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the names to be visible on this page --> *... Reasons, etc, --~~~~

Global unlock for mailzzang+aus

Status:    In progress

• mailzzang+aus (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)

As i know global block & lock criteria is infinite blocked at two or more wikis, but recently i noticed one locked situation.

That is user:mailzzang+aus who was blocked just one wiki, but not two or more wikis and locked from all wiki that reported by 2001:2D8:956:6EF1:0:0:13F:7326 who is notorious user because of using sockpuppet and stocking, sexual harassment at korean wikipedia and other korean wiki community.

(See https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%9C%84%ED%82%A4%EB%B0%B1%EA%B3%BC:%EB%8B%A4%EC%A4%91_%EA%B3%84%EC%A0%95_%EA%B2%80%EC%82%AC_%EC%9A%94%EC%B2%AD#.EC.9C.A0.EB.8B.88.ED.8F.B4.EB.A6.AC_.EC.9D.98.EC.8B.AC_.EA.B3.84.EC.A0.95.EB.93.A4)

Please recheck that item take suitable action.--Altostratus (talk) 13:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

You mean that one sockmaster reported the another one? Ruslik (talk) 20:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Who is one and one another whom you say?--Altostratus (talk) 03:41, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, that reported is written by notorious sockmaster in korean wiki community. Also, please check steward mailing list which i and mailzzang sent--Altostratus (talk) 03:46, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Done by Ruslik0. ~ Nahid ^Talk 15:51, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

@NahidSultan and Ruslik0: It seems not unlocked yet. Did you correctly confirmed?--Altostratus (talk) 10:46, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

This account was socking in kowiki as well. So, is it any reason to unlock? Ruslik (talk) 09:54, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

He was not socking in kowiki. Can you point what you say?--Altostratus (talk) 13:01, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

See en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mailzzang+aus/Archive. Ruslik (talk) 17:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

That is matter on en.wiki. Not ko.wiki or other wikis.--Altostratus (talk) 09:18, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Criteria of global locking i know is nlocked on 2 or more wikis. That is why i requested.--Altostratus (talk) 09:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Did you read the page that I pointed you to? "Mailzzang+aus, Orient~kowiki(Orient) and Eieiei voted for de-checkusership"[in kowiki]. Besides there is no a formal criterion for global lock, which says that the user must be blocked on two or more wikis. Ruslik (talk) 17:49, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

That is not prove whether they are sockpuppet. In here, mailzzang+aus submit assent, but others account submit dissent. and, In here, Orient~kowiki and mailzzang are submit such different opinion.--Altostratus (talk) 04:09, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

@Ruslik0:And you shouldn`t unlock account User:Eieiei. A korean wikipedia administrator marked Eieiei account is used as common account. [1]--Altostratus (talk) 04:12, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Ce n'est pas le royaume des trolls ici. Je te laisse décider de la durée (et je m'en moque, bloque moi indéf si tu as envie de te faire plaisir). Cela m'apprendra à vouloir faire un peu + de maintenance sur Commons (projet où si on a envie d'aider il faut présenter un Master en droit spécialisé sur les Copyrights + liberté de panorama dans tous les pays (y compris la Corée du Nord), être photographe professionnel et connaitre tous les languages informatiques de codage (si tu ne fais que C++ on pointera du doigt ton incompétence en Javascript). --Sismarinho (talk) 06:36, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
