hakıszıca trwikide engellenme

merhabalar değerli yöneticiler trwikide haksız bir şekilde @Mustafa MVC adlı şahşiyetin kuklası denilerek engellendim yapılan denetçi incelemesi şaibeli taraflı bir şekilde yapıldığını düşünüyorum kullandığım ağ şirket ağı ve gizlidir baskası tarafından kullanılabilen nırmal ağ değildir lütfen bu durumu çözmenizi talep ediyorum ben denetleyen yerel wiki denetçisi @Vincent Vega dır bahsi geçen kulllanıcıda burada yorum yababilir kendsine mesaj olarak kendside yazmışdır ve denetçi kaçma girişimde bulunarak saklanma peşinde olduğunu düşünüyorum bu engelleme yanlış ve hatalıdır engelimin kaldırılmasını talep ediyorum Ehlal (talk) 12:58, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Merhaba @Ehlal bu yaşananlardan dolayı üzgün olduğumu belirtmek isterim. Her ne kadar elimde olmayan bir durum olsa da kendimi suçlu görüyorum. Bu duruma karşı yapabileceğimiz görünen en mantıklı yol kimlik bilgilerimizi VTR ile paylaşmak. Kişisel bilgilerini gizli kalmak kaydıyla VTR ile paylaşmayı kabul edersen bunu bende yapacağım. Benimle mustafamvcwiki@gmail.com adresi üzerinden iletişime geçersen sevinirim. Mustafa MVC (talk) 14:43, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I need to make a note in English because the translation may not work well enough. This thread is about an erroneous sockpuppetry block on the Turkish Wikipedia. Since our message pages on trwiki are closed and Vincent Vega, the moderator who applied the block, has not reconsidered, I offered to share our credentials with Wikimedia on condition of anonymity. (Ehlal was accused of being my sockpuppet and blocked.)

I have no experience of how to share my credentials confidentially. Anyone who is not helpful in this matter, please help. Mustafa MVC (talk) 15:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Kaçma girişimi... Enteresan ve komik... Denetçi olarak tespit ettiğim ve diğer ek yetkililerce kontrol edilmiş bu engel için lütfen beni daha fazla meşgul etmeyiniz. Vincent Vega ^msg? 06:55, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

merhaba @Vincent Vega benim bu kullanıcıyla ip adresim çakışması imkansızdır çünkü kullandığım ağ gizli bir blok şirket ağıdır ve herkese özeldir yani yaptığınız denetleme hatalıdır bunu kabul edin ve lütfen engelimi kaldırın denetlemenize hatalı olduğu aşikar ozaman bana denetleme verilerni kanıtlayın eğer bu kullanıcıyla çakışıyorsam ben burayı terk ederim am hakkımı kimseye yedirmem meşgul etmeyiniz değişinden kaçma girişiminiz olduğu belli oluyorburadan hatalarınızı kabul etmek de bir görevdir Ehlal (talk) 09:19, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Closing, nothing for the stewards to do here. Trwiki is a self-managing wiki capable of handling their own issues, and any block appeal should be locally handled. If you find the block unjustified or do not have a way to appeal your block locally, you can consider opening an RfC, but unless there is an emergency stewards will not act if there are local users who are able to do so.

Albertpda

Currently Special:CentralAuth/Albertpda is globally blocked, but not locally blocked in any wiki. However even if enwiki locally whitelisted this block, many actions (e.g. moving pages) would involve actions in Wikidata where the user can not edit. I have asked at User_talk:Martin_Urbanec#Special:CentralAuth/Albertpda but did not get an answer. GZWDer (talk) 18:07, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@GZWDer As far as I can tell, @Albertpda has not appealed to the stewards since their English Wikipedia ban has been lifted. I am not currently aware of the circumstances that led to the global lock and therefore can't speak to whether an unlock/unblock is appropriate at this time. Albertpda should have access to SRG where they can submit an appropriate appeal, or they may email stewards@ or use UTRS if they prefer. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 18:20, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Whether the global block should be lifted is a matter of debate (I am neutral on it), but what I concern in addition is if this user moved a page in enwiki, it will involve edits to Wikidata where this user can not edit but is not explicitly blocked. GZWDer (talk) 18:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Well that mooted itself rather quickly. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:47, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

• Closing as the target user is now globally locked. They would need to appeal their lock to do anything else. Regarding the general concept above, if the wikidata community wants someone that is globally blocked to make changes to their project, they may also whitelist them on their project. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:12, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

dewikt

The U4C has passed a motion unblocking User:Mighty Wire on de.wikt. We ask for your help with implementing this. On behalf of the U4C, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

EN rename request

Can someone action this request, thanx - FlightTime (open channel) 09:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

@FlightTime: You need to check the checkbox that says "Confirm to rename user with more than 100,000 edits". If you are still not able to do it I could do it for you. EPIC (talk) 09:48, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I notice that the issue is not because of the amount of edits but that there is a local account at Wikitech preventing the rename. I renamed that account to Beeblebrox (renamed), and will proceed with the global rename. EPIC (talk) 09:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Username implying the user is a famous athlete

We have a user in both sewiki and smnwiki who has registered an account with a username that implies they are a famous Finnish professional footballer. I know that on enwiki this is not allowed: Implies user is some well-known figure, unless factually the case. How to proceed in this case? - Yupik (talk) 19:22, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

As a first step, it would be up to the admins on sewiki/smnwiki to address locally according to their own procedures. We could look at global action (block or lock) in cases of abuse, but this does not appear to be at that level in my view. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll get back to you if it turns into abuse. I agree that right now it's not. - Yupik (talk) 20:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Well this turned out to be a sockpuppet of an LTA account, which I didn't know about. So problem solved :) - Yupik (talk) 16:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Info about RfC for change of license on Wikinews

Hi! As I understand it a notice here is not required but to be safe I can inform you that I created Requests for comment/Update standard license for Wikinews. I will post a notice on the Wikinewses but it may take a while and I may not complete today. Just in case someone complain that they did not get a notice etc. MGA73 (talk) 16:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello! The votes on all Wikinewses are set to end on January 20. My plan is to check all Wikinewses right after that (hopefully on January 21) and add the results to the Requests for comment/Update standard license for Wikinews.

After that I hope the RfC can be closed shortly after that so there is time to create a task on Phabricator and for someone to create the relevant patch and check etc.

When I created the RfC I was not aware that changes can only be made Monday to Thursday so the actual change can't be made late on January 31 or early February 1. It has to be made either January 30 or February 3. I suggest January 30 so there will be a little less time to make this happen.

So I would like to hear if there are there any advice or requirements from the stewards that I should know in order to make the closure go as smooth as possible? Should I for example create a request on Steward requests/Miscellaneous? --MGA73 (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Striking my previous comments (well removing as nobody will have read it yet!). A Meta admin or Steward can close the RFC. If you post a request on / Miscellaneous when ready, someone will look to close the RFC. If you need help implementing the results - e.g., admin actions on projects with no active admins - please include that in the request. MarcGarver (talk) 09:26, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! Requests_for_comment/Policy#Closure_of_RFCs states that "Only stewards can close any RFC requiring steward action or changing global policy.". I thought perhaps the word "global" might apply here because it affect the default license for Wikinewses. But I'm happy with an admin too. --MGA73 (talk) 10:32, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

I read that to mean if the change needs a steward to action it or if the change affects a global policy. In this case you are proposing a license change to a handful of projects. That isn't a policy, and it isn't global, so I think a Meta admin could close it. However, if you need someone to do some admin actions on the various WN projects that don't have local admins, then you'll need a steward. MarcGarver (talk) 15:00, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Aha, thanks a lot. --MGA73 (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
