Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request

 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem).

Global IP block exempt for Lanwi1

Status:    Not done

Because of the Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China and Great Firewall of China, I can't access to Wikimedia Projects some page directly, so I need to use proxy visit wikipedia sometimes. I have 4700+ edits in zhwp and 1550+ edits in jawp without block record. thanks, --Lanwi1 (talk) 09:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Support If so then you have support from me. --Kolega2357 (talk) 09:46, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From checking meta data, I don't see that you are blocked. If you are still getting blocked, would you be so kind as to email to stewards the block text, and we can review it there. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because the GFW block Wikipedia HTTPS links, so I need to use open proxy edit Wikimedia Projects. --Lanwi1 (talk) 16:28, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
billinghurst meant that he didn't see your IP used on meta being globally blocked. --Bencmq (talk) 09:05, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Qwerty Binary

Status:    Not done

Dear stewards,

I have been an editor since ages and have a handful of edits. I often edit from computers on a college/university network with a shared IP. Universities being what they are, the IP address is frequently blocked and for long durations. So that I might be able to edit while on the college/university network, I am thus requesting a global IP block exemption and would appreciate your kindness.

My apologies if this isn't the right template or in the right section. Any additional help is very welcome.

Much thanks and kind regards. -QB --Qwerty (talk) 10:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me like you mainly edit the English Wikipedia? Maybe it's best to seek a local IP block exemption first. If it's granted, and you wish to extend your activities to other wikis at some time, a global IPBE can be considered. --MF-W 14:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, MF-Warburg, and thank you for your reply. Oh, that sounds like a good and reasonable idea and I'll give that a go first.
If I were to request IP block exemption from Wiki Commons, however, would I have to request that independently at Wiki Commons as well? --Qwerty (talk) 08:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, at commons:Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard I think. --MF-W 14:56, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not done at this time. Can reopen if the problem has become widespread. — billinghurst sDrewth 16:42, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Gransar

Status:    Not done

I like to request unblock for my ip/username. Here is the message I receive: You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia.

Editing from your IP address (204.12.255.53) has been blocked (disabled) on all Wikimedia wikis until 04:46, 24 July 2013 by Billinghurst (meta.wikimedia.org) for the following reason: Cross-wiki spam: spambot: http://whois.domaintools.com/204.12.234.122

This block began on 04:46, 24 April 2013

You can contact Billinghurst to discuss the block and you may make unblock requests or file appeals at meta:Steward requests/Global. Your current IP address is 204.12.255.53. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

You have only one edit outside this wiki (on enwiki). So, probably should ask for a local IP block exemption first. Ruslik (talk) 19:25, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The block has expired, there is no requirement for IPBE. Please reapply if required. — billinghurst sDrewth 16:45, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for William915

Status:    In progress

The Great Firewall of China has made it very slow to access and edit some pages and impossible to access some pages. That's why I have acquired local IP block exemption in zhwiki and used open proxy to edit. I have contributed to the zhwiki for a long time after I have acquired local IPBE and I have never abused it. I have also acquired local IPBE in zh-yuewiki, enwiki and wikidata recently and I believe a global IPBE would be a better choice for me when I tried to edit some pages on mediawikiwiki and zhwiktionary recently.

The global block was done by Vituzzu in June (the line in global IP block log is attached below), mainly to prevent cross-wiki spams from users with usernames starting with "bagswish". Some sysops have performed CheckUser in enwiki and has proved that my account is not related to the spam after they have granted me local IPBE(See enwiki, oldid=564142720). I believe what stated above further qualifies me as a global IPBE user. 

15:24, 1 June 2013 Vituzzu (talk | contribs) globally blocked User:8.35.201.214/21 (expires 15:24, 1 June 2018) (Open proxy: google apps: spam from users bagswish*)

Thank you for your concern. --William915 (talk) 05:06, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Hvn0413

Status:    In progress

Because of the Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China and Great Firewall of China, I can't access to some Wikimedia Projects pages directly, so I need to use proxy to visit Wikipedia sometimes. I have 14,796 edits in zhwp.

The block log is as follows:

Editing from your IP address (50.31.254.202) has been blocked (disabled) on all Wikimedia wikis until 21:29, 27 September 2017 by Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org) for the following reason: Open proxy: hosting on server central + spam from 50.31.240.86

This block began on 21:29, 27 September 2012

You can contact Vituzzu to discuss the block and you may make unblock requests or file appeals at meta:Steward requests/Global. Your current IP address is 50.31.254.202. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

Thanks, --Hvn0413 (talk) 01:06, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
