vandalizm in azb wiki

we have vandalizm by fake users here. please semi-protect that page.--Koroğlu (talk) 04:26, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

@Koroğlu: As this is a new wiki, I don't believe that we have any good indication of a new vs. a faked user, so I am unwilling to protect the page at this point of time. I would encourage fellow stewards to be aware of this discussion, and to consider how they review the nomination discussions, and any awarding of temporary rights on the wiki when they are granted.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

It is very well possible to say that a faked user is one who did not previously contribute on the test-wiki or on azbwiki, but comes out of nowhere to oppose RFAs (&make an own RFA) on a brand new wiki with his first and only edits. --MF-W 11:21, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I removed all those opposes relating to this (I don't know what the strike mark is on that wiki, if different from English). Tropicalkitty (talk) 07:24, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Your initiative was surely well-intentioned, but traceless removal (like [1]) from a random user doesn't help to resolve such a situation either. For the record, the MediaWiki syntax' English originals work always, as you can read in all manuals. --MF-W 11:21, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protection likely is of little use, as azbwiki is a new wiki, so even established users from Incubator or azwiki might still not be autoconfirmed and therefore be unable to vote, while these strange new accounts might already be created long enough ago. - Anyway, I have checkusered these five voters who appeared out of nowhere and whose only edits globally were the opposes. They are all related and I blocked them locally. --MF-W 11:21, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Sysop abuse on the Azerbaijani Wikipedia

User:sefer azeri' is engaged in vandalism: 1 (Reliable sources wiped out.), 2 (Without any major wiped out the picture., , ) , 3 (Fraud. Map changed. 100 years have reduced the state's history.), 4 (Insult.)... Requires block it for at least a year. But it was never punished for their work. Sortilegus always supported him. He is also engaged in vandalism: 1 (Reliable sources wiped out), 2 (The name of the state, has been removed.), 3 (Reliable sources wiped out)... Wertuose always supported him. He is also engaged in vandalism: 1 (Picture of the article - az:Bakı xan sarayı), is deleted.. 2 (insult; Əxlaqsız ifadələrə görə...) and 3. The 3 users blocked me, without any reason! We do not have arbitration and appellate courts. Therefore, administrators dictator. No one can give me an answer?! To whom should I complain? I wrote about it: Requests for comment/Sysop abuse on the Azerbaijani Wikipedia, but there was no reaction?! The reason I am writing again. Please avoid vandalism. Perhaps now would be the reaction? Thanks in advance. -Idin Mammadof talk 11:59, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

It is a local issue and has nothing to with here, and as far as I checked no misuse has happened. please keep such discussion local Mardetanha ^talk 21:27, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Mardetanha, we arbitration and Appellate courts do not have. To whom should I complain? They do not give me an answer. Do you think the person suffering from the actions of Hitler, should apply to him? There is no other way out? -Idin Mammadof talk 6:45, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

you comparison is way wrong, and I checked admin actions against you, they were fair to you Mardetanha ^talk 14:40, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Mardetanha, you know the Azerbaijani language? I showed the facts, - vandalism is not it? If not, tell that I am telling lies. The question is not about me, the subject is about the violation of rules by them. Please let us know your opinion about it. I showed this vandalism, violation of general principles, they do not let anybody. Is this what you call justice ?! This is one thousandth of their actions... They are engaged in vandalism, those who oppose them, they will be blocked. Educated users immediately blocked under various pretexts. For example, see: Afrasiyab; he worked for 3 months. Very well worked and blocked 3 times in 1 month, and then blocked indefinitely. He created the template Russian Wikipedia. He also blocked.... --Idin Mammadof talk 15:08, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism continues..., User:sefer azeri writes: "atan haqqında yazdığın məqaləni də sildim bu da sənə paz olsun ... çox göt-baş atsan onun qəzeti haqqında məqaləni də sənin qəzetin haqqında məqaləni də siləcəm ... nə istəyirsən elə" (To displease you, I will do everything.). --Idin Mammadof (talk) 16:26, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism continues... and vandalism continues...!!! Ladies and Gentlemen !!! How long the vandals, remain unpunished ?! How long the vandals, the administrator will be ?! --Idin Mammadof (talk) 21:55, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Vandalizm in Azwiki

Have vandalizm here. Please protect that page. --Idin Mammadof 1:06, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Your community has an active bureaucrat and multiple administrators, I really don't see the need for any action to be taken here... again. As you have been told a number of times, please discuss this matter with your local community as the stewards are not going to be able to assist with this. The Stewards' noticeboard also isn't a place for rants and raves, so please limit this discussion to the section that you've already created. Thanks --Az1568 (talk) 03:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

We do not have arbitration and appellate courts. To whom should I complain? With whom I will discuss? If local sysops vandals. Can you answer my question? --Idin Mammadof 5:37, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

@Aydinsalis: Stewards do not have the authority to involve themselves in intrawiki disputes between users. A community needs to resolve its internal issue. For situations where people wish to discuss a community outside of that community's wiki, then we point users to a RFC. Continuing your quest here is inappropriate.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: I understood. Can you understand, I'm asking you: We do not have arbitration and appellate courts. To whom should I complain? With whom I will discuss? If local sysops vandals.... I do not want nothing from you. Can you answer my question? --Idin Mammadof 18:31, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

delete unwanted talk page

Hello, Could you please delete my talk page on English Wiktionary, because it was created in error? ~I ask here because local issues often take to much time to resolve. Thank you. HelmStantor (talk) 19:41, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

We cannot. And now it was also already done locally. --MF-W 20:50, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Unblock OlsiBot on sq.wikipedia

Few hours ago I created a bot and since it was my first time creating one, I had to make some test edits to see how the bot would run. I made 43 edits and I was logged in and I watched every single edit of my bot. But few hours later my bot got blocked by an admin because bot wasn't approved. I could make a request on wiki but first I wanted to make sure that the bot would work. After my bot got blocked I made a request to approve my bot and according to wiki rules, this is the trial period and I need to do more test edits, but the admin won't unblock me, so I request here to get OlsiBot unblocked. Thank you. --Olsi (talk) 14:18, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Simply ask another admin but generally you should have not done this before letting them know about your bot Mardetanha ^talk 14:39, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

I did but he is not sure if the bot should be unblocked or not. --Olsi (talk) 14:46, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

It depends on their policy but I think a sincere apology would solve many things Mardetanha ^talk 15:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Please unblock the bot, as the other admins are not sure about it. It has been a long time since the last bot got the flag on sq.wikipedia and admins that would know bot policies well are not active anymore. --Olsi (talk) 16:50, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

unfortunately we can not intervene in projects with active admins, you can email other admins, someone would unblock your bot eventually Mardetanha ^talk 16:54, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thank you! --Olsi (talk) 16:55, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
