Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 2 hours ago14 comments13 people in discussion

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.

Please also review Global blocking.

Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally.

Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP or account. Saying an IP or account is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

You know the IP address(es) or accounts you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP or account, if any.

To make a request for the address(es) or account(s) to be blocked or unblocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked.

=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address/username}}
Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~

When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request.: To find your IP, please visit https://www.whatismyip.com/; You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email at: stewardswikimediaorg

Global unblock for Abduddaher

Status: In progress

Abduddaher xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • gblock • glist • abuselog

I come from a large Palestinian family (Daher) that traces its lineage back to Zahir Omar al-Zaydani, the famous 18th-century king. I am not the same actor whose articles we translate, but he belongs to the same family, and we improve and add any documented articles that may be related to members of the family, including famous people like Abdul Rahman Zahir and others. We have made some improvements to articles about Palestinian cities and villages in more than one language. We have also written articles about cinematic and television works. This confusion, which arose due to the similarity of names, gives you full right to doubt the issue of conflict of interest and other matters. We were supposed to make these contributions under a clear name that does not resemble the name of the person whose articles we are contributing to. However, I confirm that this similarity stems from the fact that the family name is the same for the user and for some of the famous people we write about. We have developed information for several articles, such as the article on Nablus and the article on Yasid, where the Daher clan resides. We have also created websites that support the development of information about famous people from this family, each in their own field. We have also contributed to articles about other artists; you can review the registry, and the contributions were useful and were accepted. I can confirm my personal identity to you specifically to ensure that I am not one of the people we are writing about. These people are well-known in their region and have important events and diverse sources and references that support all the information contained. A very important thing: we are not the ones who originally wrote the first article about the person who is being claimed to be us. The article that was originally written was by a user we do not know and is located at the following link: [1]

It was created on December 14, 2014, 11 years ago, and was created by a person named Hajawi. Then, other people developed it, and we had nothing to do with that development. Later, we contributed to the improvements because we know that this person is from the same clan, and it is important for us to contribute any information related to him. In other words, we are not the ones who created the original article (in Arabic Wikipedia). Indeed, we have attempted to translate into other languages according to the standards and regulations, as Wikipedia allows us to do and in accordance with its terms and conditions. Therefore, I believe that blocking and filtering articles that we have worked hard to prepare and that others have developed for quick deletion is a violation of our rights as users, especially since we have made our point clear. We accept any request for modification or comment, but we did not expect all our efforts to be thrown away simply because someone cast doubt and claimed that the person was writing about himself without sending a private message or requesting clarification. I hope you will seriously consider this request. Thank you. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abduddaher (talk) 2025-05-04T15:19:30 (UTC)

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

Latest comment: just now76 comments42 people in discussion

Be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information.
Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewards^connect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversightwikimediaorg (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks.
Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places.
If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appealswikimediaorg.

Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward.

Temporary accounts (those with username format ~20##-#####) can not be globally locked. See #Requests_for_global_(un)block instead for them.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that:

You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewards^connect, especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests.

To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked: Copy one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.

=== Global lock/unlock for Foo ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
* {{LockHide|username}}

I am not a steward. They get to decide whether these accounts are locked (for lock evasion). As discussed at en:User talk:Kleodor#Clarification, a global lock must be appealed to the stewards. Izno (talk) 08:34, 11 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

No problem, however, idwiki will request a lock exception for this account. Additionally, we are considering requesting a global unlock. Regards, Fazoffic (talk) 10:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Greeting to all stewards, I am Hariadhi, sysop of the Indonesian Wikipedia (idwiki). It is true that Kleodor has admitted to his past actions as a long-term abuser (LTA) and is now voluntarily seeking an opportunity to demonstrate that his behavior can change. He has expressed genuine remorse.

As a proof of his good intention and behavioural change, we give him some task to be completed. But he needs some access to edit on idwiki for a while.

The statement of his remorse can be accessed here and here is the evidence of his application,

Should the stewards wish to proceed with a global lock, we understand that it falls within their authority. However, we would like to respectfully request a possible exemption from this lock specifically for idwiki. If Kleodor fails to demonstrate a genuine change in conduct, I will personally take responsibility for blocking him on idwiki.

Thank you very much for your attention and assistance. We highly appreciate it.

Best regards. Hariadhi (talk) 01:58, 14 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
