Steward requests/Global

This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

For global IP or account block requests, read the guideline and make a request below under Requests for global (un)block. Indicate why a global block is necessary and for how long.
For account lock requests, read the guideline and post under Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding. Note that temporary accounts can't be locked; in this case please request a global block.
For local requests here on Meta, see Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat.

If you are here because you have been affected by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts (except temporary accounts).

Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 1 day ago39 comments23 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

I found out this IP range had been gblocked from the first link above. This range belongs to SKT (a Korean telecom carrier) and many good faith users edit from this range. A local vote to block this range long term was also rejected (second link). Since this gblock appears to be preventing a number of good faith contribs from users on Korean wikimedia projects, I'm requesting the gblock be lifted.

@AmandaNP: Hello! I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this. Best, --𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷기나ㅏㄴ(T/C) 16:54, 6 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

@기나ㅏㄴ: I have to decline your request to lift this. 1) This block is anonymous users only. It only requires the user to create an account. Considering the amount of abuse being higher than 70% of the account creation activity on that range, that is generous. 2) You fail to show that consensus is for not blocking the IPs (which I've only blocked one of, not an entire carrier). The consensus listed is against blocking the entire provider with things like account creation blocks, etc. Basically the consensus is too broad and for the opposite meaning. 3) You have linked 1 user under "a number of good faith contribs". So the evidence is not there to back your statement.

Please note that we take extreme care in going to this length to block a range as large as this, and only do it when it is absolutely necessary. We anticipate these requests every time we make such a block. -- Amanda (she/her) 05:30, 8 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi:) The rfc was opened due to ongoing vandalism from three ranges: 2001:4430::/32, 2001:2D8::/32, and 2001:e60::0/32. Among these 2001:2D8::/32 is the most heavily used range in S Korea. Please also refer to the block log from AN at the time.(ko:위키백과:관리자 알림판/보존8, ko:위키백과:관리자 알림판/보존9) SKT actively promotes IPv6, and the 2001:2d8::/32 IPv6 range appears to affect SKT's entire mobile network. There are also users on kowiki currently editing under this range as TAs. SKT has over 20 million users, and blocking this range would hinder both existing good faith editors and the influx of new contributors. If lifting the block entirely isn't feasible, I'm requesting the range be narrowed. 𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷기나ㅏㄴ(T/C) 14:07, 9 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Extensive global lock evasion and vandalism by multiple LTAs on this range for the last 9 years, including Andrew5 (who is Foundation-Banned) and Cruizir/MadMans1019.

The /44 range is already rangeblocked on en.wiktionary, es.wiki, fr.wiki, and pt.wiki (all at the /32 level), as well as locally here on Meta Wiki at the /43 level. Vandalism and socking already resumed after the expiration of more recent local blocks (and after the expiration of an older global rangeblock), so I'm requesting a longer global rangeblock on the /44 range.

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

Latest comment: 2 minutes ago65 comments24 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}}

Global block for User:Asorev

Cross-wiki promotional spam / Block evasion / Potential Undisclosed Paid Editing (UPE)

So, This user has been blocked on the Russian Wikipedia for disruptive behavior. Following this local block, the user has immediately migrated to other language projects to conduct an aggressive cross-wiki campaign. They are mass-creating the exact same article topic that is Boris Perchatki, across multiple projects including the Malayalam, English, Simple English, Marathi, and Alemannic Wikipedias.

The articles are poorly machine-translated articles created in languages the user clearly does not speak. For instance, the Malayalam page contains a lot of unnatural machine translations. This pattern is highly indicative of a cross-wiki undisclosed paid editing (UPE) operation trying to force global coverage for a client while bypassing local blocks. A global lock is requested to prevent further project abuse.

Evidence:

Some example of articles are as follows:-

This accusation of paid editing is slander. Translating article is not spam. And I do not evase block. Here I have explained to TheGreatEditor024 that I do not violate any Wikipedia's rules translating article. Asorev (talk) 09:22, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
To clarify, I never stated that you are a paid editor as an absolute fact. I explicitly used the word "potential." This means your behavior of mass-creating identical, long-form articles across nearly 100 language wikis strongly mimics the patterns of an undisclosed paid editor.

Furthermore, you explicitly admitted to using artificial intelligence tools, specifically Google Gemini Flash 3.6 to translate text and Gemini Pro 3.1 to correct Lua modules to generate these articles in languages you do not speak or understand.

Using AI is not prohibited on the local wikis into which I translated the article. Asorev (talk) 09:31, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Cross-wiki abuse. Making substantial unconstructive edits across multiple language versions of Wikivoyage. Maybe a global block is better. XReport --Pr is tome 10:32, 13 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Global lock evasion by Foundation-Banned LTA Andrew5. All of these were very recently active. The temp accounts also happen to share the same /32 range (mostly a /44 range), which is rife with heavy LTA activity. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:03, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
