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. 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. 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 http://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.

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

Please be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if your request doesn't include the necessary information. 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 the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked. === Global lock/unlock for [[user:Foo|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, --~~~~

Global unlock for MisterWiki

Status:    Done

• MisterWiki (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)

Apparently I have successfully changed the password of this account, after it being hacked, plase unlock it to try if it succeed or not, --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 17:29, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Done. --Dferg 17:46, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

This is a cheater blocked on pl.wiki and several others. I talked to him on IRC. The story does not stick together. masti <dyskusja> 23:29, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Stop saying that. I haven't cheated. I just asked for rename kindly on the Polish Wikipedia, subsequently asked you to review it. Earlier today I gained access to my old account, and I asked for unlock to complete the rename process. What Masti did is totally unacceptable. He's blind to look at the irrefutable proof I have: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Admin_action_alerts#Update_on_my_main_account http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?page=User:MisterWiki@global

You all know the Wikinewsie and Zeusbot net thing. I didn't manage any other account than : MWBot (my failed bot project) ; MisterWiki (the account locked for security) and Diego Grez; my current account. Again. The block in the Polish Wikipedia is unacceptable. Additionally, Masti claims I have socked with "DJ Raiden" (doesn't exists); "Musicfan48" (account I have just used in the English Wikipedia when I did the spam thing" and "Diegogrez" formerly my main account. I don't think a block is needed for something I did 4 years ago and in another wiki! What the? --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 23:49, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Please lock again this account. It is obvious that I won't get any good with it anymore. --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 13:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Done by Drini. See the log-comment too. --Dferg 14:16, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

I saw. However please lock the following accounts to let some people know that I'M NOT SOCKING:

• SeñorWiki (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)
• Diegogrez (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)
• LoveModernTallking (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)
• Fire in the Hole (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser) (I'm really sad about this last one / it was my 'on the road account')

Please do, and finally I'll be happy. --Diego Grez ^{return fire} 17:04, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
