From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The following request for comments is closed. This is not an issue in scope of the RfC process. Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases would be the more appropriate venue. * Pppery * in solidarity 20:02, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
I am being harassed by user GAndy on the basis of my gender. The Russian Wikipedia community tolerates systematic sexism. Local administrators have refused to act.
This violates the Universal Code of Conduct and Wikimedia’s legal duties.
I request a formal investigation and site‑wide sanctions against the harasser. – Mariâ Magdalina (talk) 13:27, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Мария Магдалина did not provide any evidence. This is not surprising, as the details do not reflect well on the user. User has repeatedly used psychiatric terminology to insult other users on the Russian Wikipedia. She was warned once, but continued to insult others. As a result, the administrator of the Russian Wikipedia Джекалоп has blocked the user for a period of 5 days. After being blocked, Мария Магдалина on her user talk made an unethical statement about the administrator who imposed the block. In response, I have increased the block period to 7 days and additionally blocked the user talk. This was my first and only interaction with a contestant. I had never interacted with a Мария Магдалина before, either as a editor or as an administrator. The claims of harassment on my part are far-fetched. The claims of gender discrimination are also far-fetched. What is most surprising is the provocative and unfounded accusations, not even against me, but against the entire Russian Wikipedia community. GAndy (talk) 15:25, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
- Would be better to raise at U4C/Cases. Ahri Boy (talk) 07:07, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
