Xtrawine

I am Gac from it.wiki. I am not sure to anderstand your request. User Xtrawine has no contributes in it:wiki; I check the IP number and normal CU. So what do you want? Can I send it by mail? Are we sure that is not against privicy? Tell me, please :-) Regards --Gac 05:33, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Gac. If you've already check the guy, the best would be to simply compare the data with the thread concerning spambots on the Checkuser mailing list. If you feel that the user is confirmed, simply post the data (on the CheckUser mailing list, not elsewhere of course). But if it is an error, just leave the account and forget it. It may be an error, because I've not seen spambots going to itwiki right now, but I asked you to check because it was created at the same time, and the user name is really similar to other known spambots (see for example [1]). Thanks for your help. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 06:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

GR request of Orashmatash

Hi Quentinv57. "The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration no less than 5 days." You closed the request of Orashmatash after not even 3 days... (But ehm, don't revert your action, but please be a bit more cautious next time.) Kind regards, Trijnstel_talk 18:35, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey. Oh, apologies, I did not found this sentence. I remembered there was a delay, and search for it in some GR-related pages but could not find it again. Plus I thought that it was 4 days and that the discussion already last not three but four days. I will write this more explicitly in the Global rollback page. Again, apologies. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 18:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Global rollback for DARIO SEVERI

Hello Quentinv57

Thank for your explanation about what I should do for getting the global rollbacker permission. I will wait to get more experience. I would like to note that Snowolf made a small mistake as he said “none of the wiki have entrusted him with the rollback rights”...I am entrusted with a Rollback Rights in the Portuguese Wikipedia.

Sincerely

DARIO SEVERI (talk) 06:42, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Some wikis don't have a rollback status, so it does not really mean something. To my mind, the problem is more that you don't have enough cross-wiki experience now. If you can come to IRC and join the SWMT, that will make your work easier I think. There are lots of tools related to cross-wiki issues there, and also a really kind community that can help you if you have a problem. Regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 07:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Actually the user is right, I was wrong in claiming the user doesn't have rollback, he clearly does as seen here, however I used sulinfo to check and it's not listed there, not sure what is causing it. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 07:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Snowolf. One more time, if the Toolserver databases are not updated properly, my tool can't guess that there are status if they are absent from the database... This is probably due to the replication lag of some databases ? -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 07:18, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I just checked what the database said, and it confirms that the problem comes from here :

mysql> SELECT user_id FROM user WHERE user_name="DARIO SEVERI";
+---------+
| user_id |
+---------+
|  915895 |
+---------+
1 row in set (0.29 sec)

mysql> SELECT ug_group FROM user_groups WHERE ug_user=915895;

Global flag for my bot

Until now I only made editions with my bot in spanish wikipedia (I have flag of course and more than 272.417 editions [2]) but now I want to run my bot for fix interwikis in all languages. I made the request in de, fr, gl, en, pt, sl and eu and I'm waiting for aprovals. I have to make the request for every language or there is a way for ask for a bot flag in all languages in bulk? I will wait for your answer here es:Usuario Discusión:Kizar. Thank you. --Kizar (talk) 21:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I see that you've opened a request. I know your bot has 200k+ edits, but that's not the only prerequisite to apply for a global bot status. You must have some experience dealing with interwiki links cross-wiki. That's why I would advise you to wait some more months, and to request bot flags on biggest wikis during this time. Anyway, the global bot flag will only have an effect on the smallest wikis, and not on the biggest ones. So that's not a lack of time if you wait and apply on other wikis during this time. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 06:08, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I will run "interwiki.py -auto" without modifications, I think I have enough experience for that. I requested local flags in the 10 bigest wikipedias and I think it will be aproved soon but the main reason for request a global flag is I will make the most editions in "an, oc, ast, ext, eu and gl". In eu and gl I requested the local flags but the others are too small to do that. Btw, in eu there are unattended requests with several months.[3] --Kizar (talk) 18:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

No, the size of the community does not prevent a botflag to be granted. On smallest wikis (without bureaucrats), you can ask stewards to grant the bot flag. If some requests there have not been handled, it's only because the bot owners never came to see a steward to ask for the permission changes. It's not that we are lazy, but we cannot check every 800+ projects to ensure that there is no request that has not been handled...

Then, I'm sorry but using pywikimediabot is no more a good argument to me. I can give you a recent example, just check the section named Rezabot just two sections above in my user talk page. Thanks for your understanding. -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 07:12, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I understand. I will request local flags in more important projects but I need your help again... [4] --Kizar (talk) 10:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

CheckUser on mediawikiwiki

Hi Quentin. Please see https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=3820862. I removed your CheckUser rights there too. Regards, Trijnstel_talk 21:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Ow, and by the way, you still have CU rights on zhwiki, in case you didn't notice. Trijnstel_talk 07:58, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I did notice. Excuse me, Trijnstel, but yesterday I was busy and had to quit though the CU request was not complete. I was returning now to finish my work, but apparently now the SRCU is closed. I don't see where is the problem, but if there is one I can also handle requests only if I'm absolutely sure to be able to finish the same day. As for the CheckUser bit at zhwiki, I think we already discussed it. You know, I'm always willing to help Wikimedia projects with my free time. But the means stewards have to do their work are already inadequate, please don't be so punctilious. Regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 08:15, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Jasper Deng asked me on IRC if I knew more about that CU request and that you still had the rights. I checked and noticed you checked everything, which is why I closed the SRCU yesterday. And yes, I know you're always willing to help - so do I - but I don't like seeing people having CU rights longer than a day. Trijnstel_talk 08:38, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Can you process my request at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions#Arjunaraoc.40te.wikisource  ? --Arjunaraoc (talk) 00:31, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Arjunaraoc. I've processed your request, sorry for the delay. Regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 05:37, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

CU request

Hi Quentinv57, can you handle my CU request at SRCU#Crazy_daisuke.40zhwikip? Many thanks. --Kegns 10:34, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Kegns. Marco Aurelio commented your request. I'm not sure we can perform such checks because it forces us to reveal the IP of this user. As Marco said, if the IP is having a bad behaviour simply block it. Regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 11:01, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you any way--Kegns 06:11, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Info

I've amended a block of yours to be a hard block (66.132.164.97) as a spammer created an account on another IP then used that one to edit from. Cheers --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:55, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Ignore that - it was a sleeper created before your block! --Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

SUL Info show the "Edit count" is incorrect for my bot

• sulinfo
• CentralAuth

Everything else is correct, except enwiki's Edit count is too high, the actual no edit so many times. CentralAuth shows the count is accurate. --YFdyh000 (talk) 20:24, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for reporting this. I will try to see what's wrong but I don't have much time for now. Best regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 18:52, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Spam blacklist archive frequency needs to be increased probably

Hello Quentin. Due to the template inclusion size restriction (as Trijnstel said at WM:RFH) probably WM:SPAM needs to be archived with more frequency, if at all possible and the bot supports it. Otherwise I'll do it like in the old times by hand :-). Regards. — MA (audiencia) 18:00, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Sure I can do that for you :-). For now, my bot only archives requests marked as done where the last answer was posted more than three days ago. By default, the page is edited only if there is at least two requests to be archived or 4000 bytes removed from the page. Do you think that changing the delay for the last message to one day would be sufficient ? Kind regards, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 18:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Changing username

• I want to change my username. But I want to change it as global. (My english is not very good. Sorry!) Emperyan-message/ileti-WMTR 18:45, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Hi Emperyan. As Quentinv57 is away since 4 July, I'll answer here. For Meta-Wiki you have to go to Meta:Changing username to request a name change. Here is a list of all local request pages - you can request a name change on Steward requests/Username changes for the projects without a bureaucrat. Good luck. Regards, Trijnstel_talk 14:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Emperyan, I will echo Trijnstel's voice here. One small addition though, we can also rename in you in wikis which have bureaucrats, but no active ones. :-) — T. 15:05, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Account Recovery

I saw that my account is globally locked, and I am not able to enter the same password that I used, I have no email registered to that account to retrieve. I would like to know how can I access my account to be able to defend myself from accusations that are against me. Thank you!. 177.105.228.238 19:08, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been globally locked because it has been used to vandalize several Wikimedia projects. Also, you have used multiple accounts (for example, WZARTER) to bypass blocks and to continue to make a terrible mess on these projects. As a result, the account won't be unlocked. My personal advise would be just to create a new account, this one won't be blocked if you use it to contribute to Wikimedia projects constructively. Cordially, -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 06:29, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Ratiopol

Bonjour Quentinv57, il y a cet User:Bretwa qui a créé cette page ; Ratiopol, il a fait une annonce à ce sujet sur le bistro francophone de Wikipédia le 25 juillet, et donc que faut-il faire avec ceci ? Personnellement, je ne crois pas que sa demande d'intégration à la Wikimedia Foundation aboutisse. Bien Cordialement. FrankyLeRoutier (talk) 04:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Bonjour Franky. Comme sa page est une proposition, et s'il n'a ajouté ces liens externes que sur sa page utilisateur et la page de description de son projet (je n'ai pas eu le temps de vérifier) on peut difficilement dire que c'est du spam. Je pense que supprimer la page n'est pas la meilleure alternative. Je l'ai plutôt ajouté à Requests for new projects. Ainsi, il aura l'avis de la communauté, et si son projet a réellement peu de chances d'aboutir la discussion sera close à ce moment là. En tout cas, merci de ton message, et à bientôt ! ;) -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 06:38, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Salut,

J'aime beaucoup la présentation de tes outils sur le toolserver. M'autorise tu à reprendre la même? Je mettrais un lien vers ton compte. Merci de ton retour. Pleclown (talk) 14:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Bonjour Pleclown. Absolument aucun soucis, surtout si tu l'utilises pour Wikipédia ! D'ailleurs, la plupart de mon style est emprunté à vvv qui se sert lui-même en grande partie du design de MediaWiki.

SULinfo sorting

Hi Quentin, I was wondering whether it would make sense to change SULinfo to sort the table by edit count by default? That's usually the most useful case (at least for me), and it's the default setting in Stalktoy, for example. Just something to consider :) Cheers, Jafeluv (talk) 11:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

About Unypoly@kowiki

Hello! I really want to provide some information, but I cannot do that, sadly. As you know, 클레이모어208, E.J.HAM is different group. It is expected thing, Because He can use many and different IP range. It is not Open proxy, astonishingly.. I don't know PC room(Korean: 피시방, PC방) and Internet Plaza exist in your culture. He use PC room computers. Therefore, He can have many IP, range, even different ISP. He change his account and IP speedily, Checkuser log and request about him don't be taken in kowiki (Final checkuser is 2 years ago, perhaps). His account list is Steward_requests/Global/2012-09#Global_lock_for_Unypoly, Steward_requests/Global/2012-09#Global_lock_for_Unypoly.27s_more_puppet_accounts. It is all..

I would advise you to read the checkuser policy at first, because requesting the Checkuser access directly implies you agree to respect these rules.

unattached account

Hello Quentinv57! I would like to ask you to check the status of user Andrux in the English Wikipedia. The thing is that I use an account with similar name in most of Wikipedias (mainly in Ukrainian) through the activation of global account. However, the English was not available, thus, I have created another account (Andrux7) to be able to edit in English. In this way, I should log in/out every time, which is not very funny )) Moreover, there is no evidence that any other user Andrux actually exists. Could you please check this situation, and if it possible to connect Andrux to English Wiki. Looking forward hearing from you --Andrux7 (talk) 12:33, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
