This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.
  • For global IP block requests, read the guideline and make a request below. 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.

If you are here because you have been blocked by a global block, and believe that the block is in error or you have not done anything wrong, there are a few methods through which you can appeal:

  • If the IP is not currently blocked on Meta, you can post a request to this page following the instructions below to have the IP unblocked.
  • If the IP is currently blocked on Meta, you can post an appeal on your talk page. For maximum effectiveness, link to the username of the steward who globally blocked the IP address using the code [[User:USERNAME|USERNAME]] so that they are pinged by it.
  • If you are editing from an account and have been caught by a global IP block that is unlikely to be removed (i.e. because it is an open proxy or because of long-term abuse), you can request an individual exemption from the block at the requests for global permissions page. Please see the section on global IP block exemptions on that page for specific instructions for making a request.
  • If none of those options work, you are free to email using this form or writing at stewards-at-wikimedia.org.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses; and (un)locks apply to global accounts

Requests for global (un)block[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg 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. Only IP addresses can be globally blocked at this moment. Please see #Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding if your request involves an account.
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses 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.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

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

To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address|Some IP address]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address}}
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 http://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: stewards-at-wikimedia.org

Global unblock for 146.185.28.59[edit]

Status:    In progress

The reason given is Cross-wiki spam: Hoster / VPN service + open proxy at 146.185.28.178. My current IP address is 146.185.28.59, and the blocked range is 146.185.16.0/20. -- Si Gam (talk) 05:05, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Global unblock for 2A03:2880:0:0:0:0:0:0/32[edit]

Status:    In progress

By mistakely admin blocked this ip range 2A03:2880:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 abusing this is open proxy actually this proxy is not open this is proxy of facebook's internet.org private organization please review and unblock it. --Gamma+ (talk) 03:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Comment: If it is a "private internet organization" (i.e., private web browsing through facebook's virtual servers), then it is considered to be a "webhost", not an open proxy, which is still blockable. 2601:1C0:10A:F73A:1056:9979:D4E9:73AE 11:18, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Global unlock for 93.104.210.103[edit]

Status:    In progress

Please, consider unlocking IP 93.104.210.103 from the 93.104.208.0/21 network. This IP belongs to a hosting company and currently is assigned to my server.

Sometimes I use it as a proxy to access the Internet. There is no open proxy, though. — mrDoctorWho 03:50, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Note: Most webhosts are generally blocked from editing Wikipedia due to abuse, however, there's likely a way that you can receive IP block exemption. It's possible for en.wiki (per en:Wikipedia:IP block exemption), but I'm not sure if there is a way to do this for globally blocked IP addresses. 2601:1C0:4401:F360:8460:2EED:6C93:6013 03:54, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Disruptive vandal/troll operating from this IP range (en:User:Taokaka); spamming the en.wiki admin noticeboards and trolling user talkpages.

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding[edit]

Symbol comment vote.svg Note that global blocking currently only applies to IPs, due to a technical limitation. If you wish to request a named account for global [un]locking, please request a global [un]lock here instead. Be sure to follow the instructions below:
  • Your request might be rejected if your request 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-stewardsconnect or email your request to the stewards OTRS queue at stewards-at-wikimedia.org (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.
Instructions for making a request

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

  1. You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
  2. You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
  3. You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect, 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 the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.
=== Global lock/unlock for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
*{{LockHide|username}}
*{{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page -->

Global unlock for Diegusjaimes[edit]

Status:    In progress

Hi, I'm not a normal IP. I am the same user. I can't edit with my original account, because this actually locked, and i can't access its. I request unlock and ask for forgiveness for the damages caused at this time. Thanks in advance --181.61.83.227 03:25, 27 July 2017 (UTC) PD: Sorry for my english

To the Stewards, Bernard is a CU and can confirm a new block evasion [2] --Ks-M9 [disc.] 16:24, 28 July 2017 (UTC).
I created it simply to continue editing. There is no vandalism or anything bad. I am worried that Wikipedia in Spanish will be so drastic with users who want to edit for the first time, or who want to resume editing, and I am also puzzled by the fact that they consider everyone as a "toxic element" to Anyone who gets blocked. 181.61.83.227 18:23, 28 July 2017 (UTC) PD: The last text is traduced by Google"
See w:WP:BE and w:WP:SOCK - Using other account to continue editing while blocked is not permitted in most Wikimedia projects, even if the editor only makes good edits.
  • For Diegusjaimes: I suggest you do no edit in Spanish Wikipedia, using any account or anonymously, in no less than six months (i.e. until at least 2018-1-29) and request an unblock there. You're free to contribute other Wikimedia projects once you are unlocked.
  • For stewards: I think the account can be unlocked as long as there're no longer crosswiki issue. This allows user to make significant and useful contributions to other WMF projects (which is beneficial for unblocking in eswiki).

Hello, I have noticed that you commented on several global locks, well I really don't want to bother you if this is not your thing but as I can't seem to find any "Guide for appealing global locks" I would like to ask you what I could do, I am indefinitely blocked in 2 communities and I really just wish to edit in a community where I have never been blocked (Dutch Wikipedia) but because of my global lock this is not possible, what would you advise me to do? For the record I made 2 bad faith names insulting another editor (to whom I have apologised, admittedly after evading my block but I thought that he deserves kt because he wrote a good reply that I only saw after my lock), and I made accounts with a name similar to a blocking admin, well I should've read the terms of service because that's forbidden and I have read almost every rule ans guideline since my block and don't think that I'll ever break one here again, but I can't seem to establish any contact with any steward. --2405:4800:148C:AAB1:811B:7305:E235:9FEC 13:12, 21 August 2017 (UTC) (Donald Trung)

Global lock for Classiccardinal[edit]

I think that it is not an appropriate place to voice your opinion. It is not a global ban discussion, although the last time I advised you to start one. Ruslik (talk) 20:07, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
Symbol strong support vote.svg Strong support The scope of our projects aren't clear to him, that much is obvious. Vandalizing on Commons and calling it a joke we should laugh at? How can a vandal be allowed to be sysop on fr.wiktionary.org? That's a joke by itself. There HAS to be severe action, this serial vandal needs to be removed from our projects. We can do without being harassed and insulted. We (the projects) are better off without those people. --Hedwig in Washington (talk) 02:53, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Mensonges et diffamations. A part cette plaisanterie [12], avez vous d'autres preuves de «serial vandalism» dans mes milliers de contributions? Non. Votre racisme social m'écœure. Dites clairement: Classiccardinal n'est pas de notre monde, il parle pas comme nous, il faut qu'il parte; mais n'accusez pas mes contributions. Vous ne les connaissez pas et elles sont toute irréprochables, à 99.9999/100.--Classiccardinal (talk) 10:38, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Oppose as a contributor on French Wiktionary I observe very good contributions by this person. He creates hundred of good quality pages with the right structure and appropriate content. It was the same in Wikipédia and Commons, where he earn a price in a photo challenge recently. French Wiktionary have a page for troubles with admins and he never went mentioned in this page. He was summoned by an outsider for alleged troubles he made in another project in the Bureaucrats office, and he was defended by all of his colleagues. It appears some people do not want to have him in some projects, but he is welcome in French Wiktionary and a global lock will go against a community vote. Noé (talk) 09:30, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Meanwhile I blocked Classiccardinal for 3 days: this is an insult. --Vituzzu (talk) 12:28, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

I edit wikipedia from Turkey. All of the wikipedias (including wikimedia) are blocked in Turkey, so i use vpn. Proxy ip addresses are blocked from editing wikipedias and wikimedia.
