Appeal
Recently, i got banned off wiki voyage. This was because vandalism, but i didn't take it seriously and the mod banned me from even using the talk page. The mod was acting snarky and replied saying "You can go find a different way to make the world a crappier place". I apologize for not cooperating and vandalizing on wiki voyage, and i also want to apologize sincerely for the vandalizing i made across Wikimedia in general. I promise to be a better wikimedian for now on. Princebarackalibarrydaddyobamaiii (talk) 23:06, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Remove event organizer for Bile rene
Global user: Bile rene (talk • contribs • User rights • global contributions • CentralAuth • block log)
Reason for request: The requirements for this right include "No active blocks on the wiki on which you are applying for the right". The user has been indefinitely blocked on Wikidata since December, but has continued to use this permission to organize Wikidata-related events, doing so three times in this period. Given these circumstances, I recommend the removal of the permission. Bovlb (talk) 15:58, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Bovlb, Wikidata-related events, so yes, I have revoked the right, though the "No active blocks on the wiki on which you are applying for the right", wouldn't technically apply because that'd be applicable on Wikidata. I am open to corrections. signed, Aafi (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, technically this doesn't directly apply here since the block is on Wikidata, but since they're organising events related to Wikidata, I don't think it makes much sense for them to represent Wikidata when they can't even edit there themselves. – DreamRimmer ■ 11:06, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hello @Aafi
- Hello @DreamRimmer
- On Wiidata, I explained to the person who blocked me that I am not the Wikidata trainer for the events I create.
- Due to their insistence, I asked them to provide proof of their accusations, which they were unable to do.
- I am an organizer for Wiki N'zundeuh event pages, but I am in no way the Wikidata trainer.
- Furthermore, a training session for this project is scheduled for the weekend of May 17th by someone else. The program has been announced here.
- I would like to know if being an event organizer automatically makes you the trainer. I don't think so, which is why I find it excessive to have this right revoked here.
- My Wikidata block is indeed excessive, and I have tried to reach an agreement with the person who blocked me.
- I am available for further information. Bile rene (talk) 18:21, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- This reply does not appear to address the issues raised. It is not appropriate for an editor who is indefinitely blocked on a project to continue organizing events for that project. The existence of future events is not evidence in favour of restoring the right; they were aware of the block when organising them. The underlying block is a matter to appeal on the project and should not be relitigated here. Bovlb (talk) 19:27, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- Furthermore, you have failed to provide any evidence (proof) for your unfounded accusations, as I requested on Wikidata.
- I would appreciate it if you would cease attempting to tarnish my reputation.
- What you may not know is that project organization is planned in advance. Removing my organizer rights is unjustified.
- Especially since I'm not a trainer for Wikidata.
- I'm turning to you here to reconsider this removal of rights, especially given that the project is ongoing. Bile rene (talk) 20:56, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- Again, creating and organising events for a project you are currently blocked on, is simply unacceptable and an abuse of trust of both communities. I suggest you get your block on Wikidata lifted first and then reapply for event organiser rights here. A09|(pogovor) 22:10, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- I will continue to demand this right.
- The block on Wikidata predates the block on a project that is in its second edition.
- But if you believe it is fair to remain deprived of this right, I will abide by that decision and remain silent, much to the chagrin of whoever initiated the block, which I find abusive because it is based on unsubstantiated accusations, for example, their inability to prove that I was a Wikidata trainer for a project. Bile rene (talk) 22:57, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- what is missing here is calmness. the due course would be as @A09 said. Seek calmly an unblock on Wikidata. There's no problem saying, "Sorry, this was a mistake, and I won't create non-notable entries persistently", and perhaps avoid being part of any initiative/project which impacts Wikidata, in any capacity, even creating event pages. Perhaps I'd be okay restoring the right if the focus was into Commons/Wikipedia only. If you seriously need the right, community trust is important. Trust is only gained when you are honest and calm in your approach. signed, Aafi (talk) 03:47, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

- I do not see consensus to restore the event organizer group at this time. While some interest in re-granting was shown, the general consensus of this discussion appears to be that it is inappropriate for Bile rene to hold the event organizer group at this time, considering their active Wikidata block. There is no prejudice shown, at this time, to the user re-applying for the group, however, when the user is able to resolve their block on Wikidata. EggRoll97 (talk) 06:23, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Blocked Since this is their only way to appeal the gblock, I would normally refrain from blocking them indefinitely. But the removal of a report, 4 months after a global block, leaves me with no other conclusion than to see a connection to the sockpuppets.

Disruptive harassment by Dan Polansky
Hello!
I'm reporting User:Dan Polansky for disruptive harassment. For the last month, Dan has repeatedly been leaving me walls of texts on my talk page regarding his indefinite ban from the English Wikiversity for racism and disruptive editing (enforced by community consensus), which I've refused to engage due to the user's history of trolling behavior (hence his indefinite block on the English Wiktionary and block on Meta a few years ago).
I've recently put in an archive bot on my talk page to remove the walls of text, but Dan has been removing it multiple times with no legitimate reason. Even after I have asked him to stop interacting with me, he continues to leave messages on my talk page.
I ask either for a short-term block or an administrator to issue a verbal warning as well, as this is a larger campaign by Dan to harass/annoy users who he's had issues with on other projects. See examples here, here, and this blog clearly demonstrating his lack of interest in contributing to Meta-Wiki productively. Thank you! —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 12:36, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Request for Event Organizer Rights for Mboa Forward May 20 Community Days
I am requesting event organizer rights to support a new Wikimedia community initiative called Mboa Forward May 20 Community Days. My username is Essa237. I currently have approximately 133 contributions globally and no active blocks. Although I am still early in my Wikimedia journey, I recently started organizing a local community initiative at my school focused on increasing Cameroonian representation across Wikimedia projects. The campaign includes onboarding new contributors, article creation training, translation activities, edit-a-thons, and Wikidata contributions. The goal is to improve coverage of underrepresented Cameroonian history, culture, women, languages, geography, and public figures on Wikimedia platforms. Organizer rights would help participants properly register their contributions and allow the event to be tracked effectively as the community grows. I hope this initiative can serve as a foundation for long-term Wikimedia engagement within my local community.

Mass message request for Talk:Community Wishlist#Proposed direction for Wishlist
As we are currently discussing a new proposed direction for the Wishlist, and wish to reach out as many projects as possible instead of having a majority of commenters from the English Wikipedia, can it be possible to send this to Distribution list/Technical Village Pumps distribution list?
<bdi lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
== Survey (proposed direction for Wishlist) ==
{{subst:#ifeq:{{subst:CONTENTLANG}}|en||Apologies if this has not yet been translated into your wiki's language. {{int:Please-translate}}.}}
You are invited to voice your opinion on a new [[m:Talk:Community Wishlist#Proposed direction for Wishlist|community-proposed direction]] for the [[m:Community Wishlist|Community Wishlist]]. {{Int:Feedback-thanks-title}} ~~~~
</bdi>
The main worry is that the distribution list is inconsistent regarding whether to include generic village pumps or not, meaning I'm afraid it misses many smaller wikis. Is it possible to send it to Distribution list/Global message delivery only for projects not on the above list? It's fine if that isn't possible.
Additionally, the following languages could be excluded: french, spanish, italian, portuguese, swedish, hindi, japanese, dutch, danish, hungarian and afrikaans. Should I make a new distribution list for that purpose? Chaotic Enby (talk) 01:02, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- Also noting that Distribution list/Technical Village Pumps distribution list is out of date with d:Q4582194 on some aspects. For frwiki, the former points to today's subpage of fr:Wikipédia:Le Bistro while the latter is linked to fr:Wikipédia:Questions techniques. Chaotic Enby (talk) 01:11, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- User:Chaotic Enby/Community Wishlist distribution list has the content of Distribution list/Technical Village Pumps distribution list with the aforementioned languages removed. This should be enough for a start, if we don't want to look into revamping the whole distribution list. Chaotic Enby (talk) 02:30, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Done 𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷 (T/C) 04:24, 29 May 2026 (UTC)- Some advice :)
- @기나ㅏㄴ I recommend sending a test mass message to 2-3 of your own user talk pages in different projects next time. Obvious issues like the duplicated header could have been detected that way.
- @Chaotic Enby per Global message delivery I recommend using your own signature instead of using markup that leads to a message signed by MediaWiki message delivery. Johannnes89 (talk) 05:01, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks! Missed that line, hesitated signing it myself but that makes sense. Chaotic Enby (talk) 05:08, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'll make sure to test before sending to avoid mistakes in the future. Thank you. Best,
𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷 (T/C) 08:32, 29 May 2026 (UTC)- I was late here, but I would probably follow Johannnes89's advice above and also use User:Codename Noreste/Mass message as a base template start. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 09:16, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Request for Steward Review of Administrator Conduct and Possible Removal of Administrator Rights (User:Angmu, Korean Wikipedia)
I respectfully request an independent steward review of the conduct of User:Angmu, an administrator on the Korean Wikipedia.
I am concerned that a pattern of administrative actions and editorial conduct by this administrator may be inconsistent with Wikimedia principles, local policies, and the expected standards of neutrality, accountability, and responsible use of administrator privileges.
The following evidence is submitted for review.

Blocking concerns
The following users were indefinitely blocked by User:Angmu for alleged abuse of multiple accounts:
- User: 디헤르메스
* Block date: 25 May 2026 * Duration: Indefinite * Reason given: Abuse of multiple accounts
- User: POPULARITYO
* Block date: 31 May 2026 * Duration: Indefinite * Reason given: Abuse of multiple accounts
Concern:
I request an independent review of these indefinite blocks to determine whether they were supported by sufficient evidence and applied in a manner consistent with local and Wikimedia policies.
Administrator account
https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%ED%8A%B9%EC%88%98:%EA%B8%B0%EC%97%AC/%EC%95%B5%EB%AC%B4
Request
Given the concerns outlined above, I respectfully request that stewards review the administrator conduct of User:Angmu and evaluate whether the actions described are consistent with Wikimedia standards and local policies.
If the review finds misuse of administrator privileges, abuse of administrative authority, or conduct inconsistent with policy, I request that appropriate corrective measures be considered, including the possible removal of administrator rights.

Request for rate limit increase for Special:EmailUser
Similar to my request archived in Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat/Archives/2026-03#Help with Special:EmailUser, please grant my account User:Pine the permission to use Special:EmailUser at higher than the normal rate limit, from 27 May through 01 June 00:01 AM UTC, so that I can email users who have registered to attend the upcoming Wikimedia Café session without being rate-limited. The allowance to bypass the EmailUser rate limit has been granted in the past by temporarily assigning my account the accountcreator permission. If the bureaucrat who reviews this request would like to grant the permission for a longer duration, such as six months, I'm fine with that option. Thank you, ↠Pine (✉) 20:19, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- CC to @xaosflux who granted the user that permission in the previous request. Codename Noreste (talk • contribs) 20:23, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: would you follow up on this, please? Several days have passed, and time is getting short before the Café sessions. The signup lists for this month's sessions may be below the numbers that would trigger the rate limit if I Special:EmailUser everyone who signs up, but having more flexibility with that tool would be preferable. Thank you. ↠Pine (✉) 18:46, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Done added for a week for the immediate use. @Pine: can you explain a bit why this is necessary, for example as opposed to using user talk messaging? — xaosflux Talk 21:04, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: thanks. The links to join the meetings are not public in order to limit the exposure of the live meeting to bad actors; see for example en:Zoombombing and sockpuppetry. Also, I prefer to send the meeting links relatively near to the time of the event so that the messages with links are reminders for people who signed up, and so that the length of time in which the meeting links can be leaked is limited. The simple signup method that is being used for the Café seems to work fine without resorting to use of Event Center/Registration#Event Registration Tool. The latter tool seems to have features which could appeal to newcomers and, if an event organizer is a grantee who needs to report on event activities or is part of a multi-person campaign team, to that organizer. None of those factors is involved here. I like the simplicity and transparency of the current method. The only significant technical speedbump so far with the current method for registrations in the low dozens of people is the limitation on using Special:EmailUser to email meeting links to participants if the Special:EmailUser rate limit is reached. It is regrettable that the rate limit will be an ongoing issue that requires workarounds. ↠Pine (✉) 03:07, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
