This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.
Global rollback and global interface editor requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion while abuse filter helper and maintainer requests require no fewer than 7 days. Global renamer and global sysop requests require no fewer than 2 weeks of discussion. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

Global IP block exempt for Mirinano
- Global user: Mirinano (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I use Safari on my Mac and iPad to access Wikimedia. Recent global blocking has blocked editing from these devices. I'm temporarily logged in from Google Chrome, but I still want to edit in the familiar safari, so I request the global IP block exemption flag.

- @Mirinano: this sounds like a feature you enabled?
You can turn off iCloud Private Relay in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay.
Apple Support article. — xaosflux Talk 13:50, 19 October 2021 (UTC)- @Xaosflux: Does that mean I have to turn on and off for each edit?--mirinano (talk) 10:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Mirinano That, or turn it off permanently (or use Google Chrome for editing). Vandals and other abusers frequently abuse open proxies (like iCloud Private Relay) to hide their own IP addresses, and since the IP address is one of the very few anti-abuse mechanisms vandal-fighters have available, such IP addresses are often indefinitely blocked under the provisions of the NOP policy.

- @Martin Urbanec: hmmm... Okey, I understand that Apple iCloud Private Relay is treated as a proxy. If you say so, I'll turn this system off and edit. --mirinano (talk) 11:13, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Butcher2021
- Global user: Butcher2021 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I would like to edit from a country which has blocked wikipedia, thanks.--Butcher2021 (talk) 08:34, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- You were previously asked which country it was. Could you reply to that please? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Butcher2021: How were you able to post here? -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 20:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Probably through some vpn. --Zabe (talk) 20:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Depending on the country, Meta might also not be blocked (especially since it uses a different domain, wikimedia.org). ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 18:54, 22 October 2021 (UTC)- Sometimes meta is not blocked. I do not know how. Butcher2021 (talk) 20:39, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Global blocks do not apply on Meta, so stewards might have forgotten to block on Meta or deliberately left it unblocked. ~~~~

I`m in mainland China and I use VPN,but it always blocked ,so I ask to unblock. thanks, --Rizīka (talk) 13:03, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hello @Rizīka, it looks the majority of your edits are at English Wikipedia. Could you please first request a local exemption there? The process is explained at en:WP:IPECPROXY. Once the request is granted, we'll gladly consider granting a global exemption. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks.The reason I edit in EN Wikipedia is I didn`t know how to use vpn to get to Chinese Wikipedia. I really want to edit chinese wikipedia! Now I know how to use vpn, so I try to edit in Chinese wikipedia,but The ip is blocked .I also try to use the vpn edit the English Wikipedia ,but ip is blocked too!Rizīka (talk) 11:30, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Rizīka Thanks for the reply. In that case, can you please request a Chinese Wikipedia exemption first? The e-mail address is unblock-zh@lists.wikimedia.org, see [1] for more information. Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Porot09
- Global user: Porot09 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Buenas noches, editó en Wikipedia español hace casi 15 años y siempre he tratado de ser lo más correcto posible, en estos días me han bloqueado el IP por utilizar un proxy abierto según entiendo, la verdad es que desde hace un tiempo que editó las páginas en mi notebook laboral y no en mi notebook personal como lo hacía antes y creo que por eso el bloqueo porque mi computadora laboral tiene muchas configuraciones de seguridad para protegerme de Internet. Por favor solicito el desbloqueo de mi IP para poder seguir editando soy un usuario de Paraguay que desde joven he aprendido a aportar en Wikipedia y no me gustaría acabar así mi trabajo. Gracias.
Good evening, you edited in Spanish Wikipedia almost 15 years ago and I have always tried to be as correct as possible, these days my IP has been blocked for using an open proxy as I understand it, the truth is that for a while you have edited the pages in my work notebook and not in my personal notebook as I did before and I think that is why the lock because my work computer has many security settings to protect me from the Internet. Please I request the unblocking of my IP in order to continue editing. I am a user from Paraguay who since I was young I have learned to contribute to Wikipedia and I would not like to end my work like that. Thanks.
