This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

If you are here because you have been affected by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses; and (un)locks apply to global accounts.


Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

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:

  1. You know the IP address(es) you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
  2. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
  3. 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: stewards@wikimedia.org

Global unblock for 103.60.175.0/24

Status:    On hold

Does not appear to be a webhost or open proxy, to both me and Dane. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've come to the same conclusion. Done and @Elton: FYI. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP: I've removed the local Meta-Wiki block accordingly. I'm now curious to what caused this false positive which lead to blocks still active on five other projects, specially enwiki. I personally don't think 103.60.175.0/24 is OP or webhost (after further review), but was led to error by stalktoy results. I would like an explanation from one of you, if you don't mind, to ensure mistakes like this don't happen again in the future. PS: I've set the request 'on hold' only to give you time to reply before this is archived. Thank you in advance. — Elton (talk) 04:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I don't know where the evidence first came from to make the block which renders me unable to comment. I mean I could be wrong, but if we are going to get any clarity on this, @ST47 and Dane: would be the two to ping, as they are on a higher skill level than I am with this. I have a feeling though that some website/script that detects proxies may be the cause. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:46, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global block for 176.2.72.215

Global block/unblock for 174.78.0.23

Status:    In progress

Appears to be an open proxy/VPN per SPUR Da LambTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 15:15, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neither Spur nor other proxy checkers seem to indicate that this is a proxy though, and this IP belongs to a large ISP. EPIC (talk) 15:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC I see PENTALOOP_VPN_USER when I look at it and it shows that the point it is hitting is in Atlanta, but being pinged in Las Vegas. Weird. Da LambTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 15:19, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is an indication that it might be a P2P proxy, but a P2P is not the same as an open proxy and we don't really block P2Ps for being proxies, simply because they are likely to cause collateral damage. EPIC (talk) 15:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok. I know we are waiting on an admin to hop on our side when they become available and do revdels. Thanks for the heads up. Da LambTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 15:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global block for 2600:1003:B03D:7585:0:2C:270E:9B01

Status:    In progress

Long-term abuse. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:42, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked on Meta (where their only contribution was), which might be enough for now since they don't seem to have went cross-wiki. Will wait a bit and see though. EPIC (talk) 17:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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-oversight@wikimedia.org (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-appeals@wikimedia.org.

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:

  1. You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
  2. You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
  3. 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}}

Global lock for Marcijanonavijac

Status:    In progress

Long-term abuse. GRP. Leonidlednev (talk) 15:14, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since this account last edited over five years ago GRP has likely forgotten about the account at this point. EPIC (talk) 15:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now that it has been reported there might be a chance that they decide to revive it (I think). ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 15:57, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, you have a point but with such an old account I think it is long forgotten and don't really think it will be used in the near future, especially since they instead have created many new accounts since then and they usually don't stay on their accounts for very long either (and I'm not sure they regularly check this page either). EPIC (talk) 16:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global lock for Elshad Iman (Elşad İman)

Status:    In progress

Long-term abuse. User has been globally locked before, but unlocked with one-account restriction. But it is obvious that he did not follow it. Being indefinitely blocked on 3 wikis, undisclosed paid edits, continuing legal threats warrants a re-lock. You might want to read this discussion. --Nemoralis (talk) 18:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a bit more of a controversial case to me. I'll leave room for comments from other stewards here. EPIC (talk) 18:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have identified his following socks and blocked them on azwiki before:
Memoli13 (globally locked), 90AA123, Correspondentman, Kontentman and Redaksiya. Nemoralis (talk) 18:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @Vermont from previous discussion. Nemoralis (talk) 12:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This page is mostly meant for locks in clear cut cases, and this feels like a more complicated/controversial case. So, honestly, I think a discussion about this should rather be held at SN, just like last time, which is more appropriate for this specific case. EPIC (talk) 12:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Was there ever a CU result confirming these accounts? If not, this is a really good SRCU candidate as there is data still existing. Please ensure to present evidence and you can ping me for review. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global lock for Sockcucker156

Status:    In progress

Long-term abuse. Abusive username. LTA Kamen rider saber. TheWikiCyclone (talk) 01:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be stale at this point? Was created in November last year, only edited enwiki (where they were locally blocked) and made no further edits since then. EPIC (talk) 01:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC Sorry. I figured that a global lock would be good because some long-term abusers will come back on an old sock, and then they will vandalize another wiki from there. TheWikiCyclone (talk) 02:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No need to apologize, but is this an LTA who does such thing? I know some do (such as ACV) but it's hard to say whether this user also follows that same pattern since there's been nothing from there since six months. EPIC (talk) 02:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really think so, but they usually engage in cross-wiki vandalism that would get them globally locked anyway. I requested this as a preemptive measure to make sure that they wouldn't do such things. TheWikiCyclone (talk) 02:31, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Long-term abuse. Abusive username. -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 16:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Johannnes89: Could you give an input here? I'm unsure since these don't seem so inappropriate that they should be locked (especially since they haven't edited), at least for username number 2. But, I'll leave this to you. EPIC (talk) 16:27, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are actually a couple of account names harassing this dewiki admin which should be locked + hiddden in my opinion [1] (some of them already are).
Regarding the two reported accounts: I would look both due to harassment, but in my opinion the second one is indeed not bad enough for hiding it. Johannnes89 (talk) 16:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First one locked accordingly, but not too sure about the second one so left that one for another steward to decide. EPIC (talk) 16:53, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ahh sorry I went ahead and locked the account without reading your reply while cleaning up the other accounts. Johannnes89 (talk) 17:07, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
