Scientology on Swedish Wikipedia

Hi, my name is Johan and I was doing some minor corrections on the Swedish Wikipedia about Scientologi. An administrator called Annika64 was preventing me to include correct true data, and suddenly this Administrator was censuring and blocking me off accusing me of changing that page of Scientologi to become some more truthful about Scientologi. How come this administrator allows to censur and stop the truth to be put in ? This is violating the free word and the democratic rights of me to put in correct true data. Why this kind of " Swedish-Talibanism", kind of dictatur kommunist censoring in a free democratic country as Sweden ? I want this administrator to be corrected and loose this privilidie as abusing the rules and stopping the free word and truth. Please do a control and correctness if there are others aswell. Sincerely Johan

Missing Aviation Site

www.go.to/execjet was a very good site for showing differences between the many executive jet aircraft. It has disappeared fairly recently, only this year I think. Have you any idea what has happened to it? Tony —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.89.90.63 (talk • contribs) 22 May 2009 (UTC)

No. You might try asking them. This is an totally unrelated site, concerned with discussions about Wikimedia Foundation projects. ++Lar: t/c 00:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Access

Hi Folks ! I'm not shure wether to put my request here is the right place. I want to ask for more server speed concerning german wikipedia. Actually the page access is very slow (more than 10 seconds), somtimes i just get a drop/cut because the server is not responding in time. Of course i checked my connectivity - it's OK. If something is moving to solve this problem i'd apreciate to have a note on my user disk. Thanks --Gruß Tom 21:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC) Just found this Info: about Server down --Gruß Tom 07:59, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Software problem

I want mandriva technical support

I want to use 3ds max 2010 in mandriva — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 117.200.150.177 (talk) 10:40, 17 August 2010

You bought 3ds max without ensuring that it'd work on your platform? It's known not to work under WINE/Crossover [1] so your only choices would be to use a virtualized Windows machine (slow) or multiboot into Windows. Also, this isn't really the right place for questions like this. :) Kylu 12:59, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

New Wiki?

I don't know if this is the right place, but I can't find where it should go. The system does not seem intuitive and straighforward to me.

I would like to suggest a names wiki: for given names, meanings and origins; and for surnames, meanings (if determinable) and origins.

Subcategories

Where can I ask for modifying of subcategory display scheme? In ru-wiktionary there's now only "(10 c.)" scheme, but I would like to see full "(100 p., 10 c., 2 f.)" scheme. --Infovarius 15:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Global sysop action request

This isn't a comment about the index page, but I don't know where to put it. There isn't any place where we can ask a global sysop to perform a minor action like moving or editing a protected page on a Wiki where there isn't any local admin nor bureaucrat. I think there should be a place where a contributor could ask for that. Personnaly, I always end up asking on the IRC for that, but it shouldn't be like that in my opinion. Amqui (talk) 03:22, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

There should also be a place to request help from a sysop (and/or stewards) to perform admin action on wikis without active admins such as deletion of pages for example. Please also see Talk:Global sysops#Consolidated request for deletion's page. Amqui (talk) 02:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Change settings in sw-wikipedia

Hi, I am a bureaucrat on sw-wikipedia. We just took a vote to have the settings changed for editing. We want to block unregistered users from starting new entries and to edit. We wanted to do this some years ago but then were told it is not allowed. By now we see that the policy has changed on a number of wikis. So we want to change it but do not know how to do it. So I ask you to help us with that change or to refer us to whosoever can do this. Can you please help us? Please respond to my page at http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majadiliano_ya_mtumiaji:Kipala Kipala (talk) 18:05, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Request for botflag

I am using a user account شہاب (temporary sysop on urdu wiktionary). To automate work on urdu wiktionary, I also created an account on Mediawiki recently having name Shahab.bot, which is being used to create pages on ur.wiktionary with the help of wikibot pagefromfile. I feel this bot user-account should have bot status. Kindly do the needful. Thanks! Shahab.bot (talk) 15:19, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, @شہاب: bot flags can be requested at: Steward_requests/Bot_status. Requests should not be made "from" the logged in bot account, but from the editor account. — xaosflux ^Talk 04:47, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Where can I complain a bureaucrat?

I had an objection to certian topic on Turkish wikipedia. I reported the abuse of power to the relevant bureaucrat, it has been almost a month and the bureaucrat is not doing anything. He does not seem to do anything. Where can I complain about it?

The background of the event: I told the patrol that certian passages are no original research, I told them that they are distorting the source. We discussed it, they did not show any reason to prevent my proposal and to keep their version, they just stated "if we accept your changes, there will be a rotation of one-eighty, it will change the artically totally in a different way." Then, their bureaucrat protected the page, they are not stating any reasons and are not allowing any change. I told them over and over again that they are giving misinforation in wikipedia. It is going on for more than 5 months now and nothing is done. The same passages are updated in English version wikipedia, the same user edit-warred me here but after I reported him to Wikipedia admin noticeboard/incidents and to Admin noticeboard edit warring he quitted doing so on English wikipedia, probably due to him having no powers to prevent me here without stating any reasons. But on Turkish wikipedia the same user is a patrol and he stops me from changing the article via his/her powers. Where can I solve this problem? If it is not a right place to complain this issue, tell me where to apply? I know it is very unlikely that I am in the right place, I do not know where to go and I know this is the place I can ask this question. Where can I report this abuse of power and ignorance of the bureaucrat? --Ruhubelent (talk) 07:17, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Is there nobody who can challenge this dictatorship?--Ruhubelent (talk) 14:30, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Assignments

Wikimedia should address assignments for Administrators/Staff/Board of Trustees to make edits, revisions translations etc. , As our project, Wikipedia does. And really I think this should be a thing for all of our projects really, 'cause why not? Oh and if this was already done please tell me ok Gjjixzoh (talk) 22:02, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Request for Create or Edited MediaWiki: of Wikipedia

Hi, I'm ShiminUfesoj of Bicol Sentral Wikipedya, i don't know where should I need to go to request a permission to edit or create a MediaWiki things on Wikipedia, as of Now, I translating "Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure" of English Wikipedia to my home wiki, but I don't know, I don't have permission to create the "MediaWiki:Guidedtour-tour-twa1.js" and soon from this one. Thank you -- ShiminUfesoj 05:45, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

@ShiminUfesoj: first, please fix your signature for use here on the Meta-Wiki. Your signature should contain your username, preferably linked to your account somewhere, and should never contain templates or images. Regarding your specific question, updating javascript pages in the MediaWiki namespace requires interface-administrator access. This may be requested at Steward_requests/Permissions#Interface_administrator_access for your project. Another option is to complete and test all of your changes in your userspace on your project, then request the page be moved here: Steward_requests/Miscellaneous#Manual_requests where a global sysop or steward could complete the request. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:56, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
