This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global sysop, ...) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications.
This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.
Successful global rollback requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion, while successful global sysop discussions require no fewer than 2 weeks.

Requests for global rollback permissions

Shortcut:
SRGR
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the Global rollback policy.
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
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

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). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global rollback for JurgenNL

Status:    Done

I am a sysop on nl-wiki since March 2013 and a few months ago I joined SWMT. I also follow up crosswiki vandals (spam, vandalism only accounts, cross wiki schools) to revert all edits. Global rollback would make my maintenance work much easier helping out keeping Wikipedia in order everywhere. Kind regards, JurgenNL (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Greip

Status:    Not done
  • Why: I haven't done anything that would sanctify this policy, in my opinion. I am merely seeking anonymity while still being able to participate on wikimedia projects.
  • What for: Mostly translations on meta, maybe some articles on enwiki (as i have done in the past).
  • Why am I blocked: I am using Tor.

(IRC request; neutrally posted on the user's behalf by Nemo 12:15, 7 September 2013 (UTC))[reply]

I am inclined to grant this request. Ruslik (talk) 16:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not. He has only 100 edits and I don't really get why he needs to use Tor (anonymity, but he has an account?!). Trijnsteltalk 14:10, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon? How is anonymity in contrast with having an account? Editing as IP would. --Nemo 20:01, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I meant: why does he need to use a Tor when he has an account (with ~100 edits)? And why does he need to use Tor anyway? Trijnsteltalk 20:03, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We can debate on the value for the stated reason, but "anonymity" is the why. Sorry, I also don't get how using Tor is in contrast with having an account, whether such account has 1, 1k or 1M edits. --Nemo 20:15, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there still interest here? --MF-W 15:21, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I recall correctly, just the desire to use ToR is not an acceptable reason to get an IP exemption. People who are blocked by government--applied firewalls or believe that their lives or freedoms are in jeopardy are a different matter (although in the latter case, one needs to seriously ask oneself is editing a website worth the potential risk of incarceration or worse). -- Avi (talk) 16:58, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Renewal of global editinterface for Tpt

Status:    Done

The editinterface right was given to me in November 2012 for a year in order to help small Wikisources to maintain there configuration of the ProofreadPage extension. As it will come soon to expiry, I ask today a renewal of this right. Thanks, Tpt (talk) 10:10, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done for 12 months, noting rights have been used. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. @PiRSquared17 I doesn't use this right so much, mostly to fix quickly some JavaScript issues introduced by changes in MediaWiki. Tpt (talk) 07:24, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
