Requests for comment/Require RfC filers to be autoconfirmed on Meta is overdue for closure (it requires Steward closure since Requests for comment/Policy is by its own terms a global policy and says Only stewards can close any RFC [...] changing global policy) * Pppery * in solidarity 03:01, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
- I believe we should strike comments by globally (b)locked / WMF banned users. Johannnes89 (talk) 05:13, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Recommendation to lift global locks
[edit]This is further to a prior discussion on this noticeboard. I was asked to review the local blocks on three of the accounts (listed below) involved in the original global lock request. It is not clear to me why the accounts were not globally unlocked at the initial request because they remained blocked on only one project, so that the allegation of cross-wiki disruption was no longer applicable. Nonetheless, it was suggested to me that the blocks on English Wikipedia be reviewed before further steward action was likely to be considered.
The following users have now been unblocked following further investigation and discussion with the blocking CheckUser. Thus, they are no longer blocked on any project. Please lift their global locks.
I leave it to the stewards to independently determine if the other accounts identified in the original global lock request still meet the standard for global locking, as I was not requested to review those blocks/locks and cannot speak to their current situation. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Risker (talk) 20:18, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- @M7: want to look at these first? — xaosflux Talk 20:46, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- @WikiBayer, as the requester of the locks, do you have any advice about other locked users (and still locally blocked on multiple projects)? Thanks, --M/ (talk) 09:13, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- There have been repeated edits to entries on similar or identical topics. If multiple users have indeed shared a computer and CheckUser information cannot therefore be directly verified, it is difficult to say whether they were truly different users or whether one person might, in fact, have multiple accounts. Enwiki and Wikidata CUs took place at different times, but it's also possible that a group of Persons meets more often. 𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 07:05, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
