Steward requests/Global permissions
This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.
Global rollback and global interface editor requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion while abuse filter helper and maintainer requests require no fewer than 7 days. Global renamer and global sysop requests require no fewer than 2 weeks of discussion. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

Requests for global sysop permissions

- Global user: A09 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 16 November 2024 06:37 UTC
Hello, I am A09, a slwiki admin, checkuser, and global rollbacker.
Although I am not the most prolific editor at GSR, I believe I could be a valued addition to the team. I deal daily with various forms of long-term abuse, cross-wiki spam and sock puppetry, as well as mass machine translation abuse (you can see me daily at SGR). When addressing these problems, I often need to request help from global sysops (I have 500 edits on GSR as of this nomination). I’d be happy to help with the backlog as well as continue doing what I love. Other dear colleagues also expressed their support of running for GS rights. Some voters might remember some cross-wiki block problems, but these were all resolved swiftly, as they were due to misunderstandings. I’d be happy to address any concerns you might have.
I confirm I have read appropriate policies and that my account will be protected with 2FA by the Nov 16th.--A09|(pogovor) 06:37, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support A09's been very helpful with dealing with cross-wiki matters and the >500 GSR requests is a case-in-point. Regarding the block problems, almost all of them bar etwikiquote were due to misunderstandings and even with etwikiquote you can't blame A09 when all they did back then was revert the edits of Risto hot sir from an admin who gave zero respect to A09 – no cross-wiki patroller could have known that's the response that etwq would have given and it would have made zero difference if A09 was a GS or not at the time. --SHB2000 (t • c) 06:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- And I say 500 quite lightly, but 500 is more than what most global sysops have on GSR. --SHB2000 (t • c) 06:47, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- If SHB2000 supports, I Support too. signed, Aafi (talk) 06:49, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support, I have seen them requesting deletions on GSR, and would be a great asset if given the tools. ToadetteEdit (talk) 06:51, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support I looked at the et.wikiquote case, and do not see enough evidence that A09 did anything wrong. But ... as a CheckUser, don't you think you should have 2FA enabled already? Leaderboard (talk) 09:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- We don’t have codified that a slwiki checkuser needs 2FA but I’m planning to change that. That however doesn’t mean I don’t take account security extremely serious. A09|(pogovor) 09:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was actually surprised that there is no mention of 2FA required for CheckUsers globally - but I thought this is something you would have enabled irrespective of policy. Leaderboard (talk) 10:06, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- It surprised me as well – you'd think that the WMF would've gotten to it by now (same for OS), but seems the requirement is still only for IA, GS and stew. --SHB2000 (t • c) 10:14, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, the 2FA requirement is only for roles that can edit site CSS/JS (which thus includes GS) and for CNA. EPIC (talk) 10:20, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Oh yes, I stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying, EPIC. --SHB2000 (t • c) 10:23, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @SHB2000, what is the most funny is that WMF does not even require 2FA for bureaucrats, even though they can make new IAs (including make themselves an IA). I have been mentioning this to the T&S folks in the steward–T&S calls and elsewhere for many years, but it seems no one really cares about it. --Base (talk) 11:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah that too – gotta love the irony of not requiring bureaucrats to enable 2FA but requiring IAs to. It's a shame, really – account security isn't exactly a trivial issue either; I guess it is what it is :-(. --SHB2000 (t • c) 11:10, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, everyone. I’ve been involved with cross-wiki patrolling for a few months (though my activity levels vary significantly) and often find that the global sysop list is quite backlogged; GS will greatly help in assisting me dealing with vandalism, long-term abuse, spam and other maintenance, having made over 600 edits to GSR.
I hold sysop perms on the English Wikivoyage, English Wikibooks and Meta-Wiki, bureaucrat perms on the English Wikivoyage in addition to global rollback. I’ve thoroughly read the policy on global sysops in addition to the three local policies (srwiki, enwikinews and mediawiki.org). I also confirm that I have 2FA enabled.

Hi! Until this day, I am a Steward and have been performing global renamings has been a while, even before the global renamer right existed, when I was a bureaucrat at Portuguese Wikipedia. I am withdrawing my steward rights, but would like to keep helping with renamings.

Requests for global IP block exemption
[edit]
| Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
- Global user: Faldi00 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello
Currently, I am living in Russia. As you know, Russia has blocked several websites since 2022. These restrictions cause me to often use VPN to access blocked websites. Unfortunately, users cannot either editing or creating a page on Wikipedia with VPN. Although Wikipedia has not been blocked yet, however several important websites that can support me during the editing or creation of an article are blocked such as BBC.com, Archive.org, Rfel.org and others. Apart from that, there are several news that stated Russia wanted to block Wikipedia, although it has not materialized yet. Hence, I am requesting Global IP block exempt so that I can edit or create an article on Wikipedia without having turning off the VPN. Faldi00 (talk) 07:22, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Global IP Block Exempt for MarkRosenbaum

Per UTRS #95471 --DeltaQuadBot (talk) 13:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- @MarkRosenbaum the IP range you are operating on is globally blocked, but also locally blocked at enwiki. A global IP block exemption only helps agains global blocks, while local exemptions override both local and global blocks (see IP block exempt). If you want to edit at enwiki (which seems to be your main wiki) you will need to ask for a local exemption -> en:WP:IPBE, a global exemption won't help you.

- I was actually looking to edit testwiki when I hit the block, I believe the testwiki block is controlled by the global block as opposed to a local block but I could be wrong. MarkRosenbaum (talk) 11:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I am a Wikipedian from mainland China. Due to the GFW blockade, I have to use open proxies to access Wikipedia. I have applied for an IP block exemption on the Chinese Wikipedia. In the past, I have participated in editing the Chinese Wikipedia multiple times without any misconduct.

As a Wikipedia editor, I reside in mainland China (PRC) generally, where access to Wikipedia is restricted. This necessitates the use of a proxy server with outside-the-state network to enable my contributions. Using a proxy can occasionally lead to complications with editing permissions due to the IP address associated with the server. Please be assured that this proxy server IP address is used exclusively for my personal using and will not be misused. Thanks. --Hokdung Koo↗️talk 14:28, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
