Updating this Talk page and adding an archiving bot

This page and this Talk page need a deep cleanup and update. Let's see whether this can be done step by step. If you have any feedback, requests or ideas, please share them.

About this Talk page, it seems that it would be useful to have an explanation at the top explaining its scope and directing to the usual venues that people seem to be looking for, judging for the questions posted here in the past years. I also think that we can have a bot archiving topics that are older than 30 days. I plan to enable this bot in a couple of weeks, during the first week of August. If there is any section that you think is still relevant, please add a comment or a simple ping to it to avoid its archiving as soon as the bot is enabled. Qgil-WMF (talk) 10:44, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

 Support both: explanatory note and archiver bot. Meta has two approved archiver bots: ArchiverBot and SpBot. SpBot has a bit more features but for this talk page any of them would work just fine. There are, however, unsigned posts (specially the oldests on top) which won't be archived by the bot unless tagged with a timestamp. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

@MarcoAurelio: Ah, I thought that having one post with correct date in one section was enough to have the bot archiving the section automatically. Well, we can clean as we see what the bot is not digesting. I have used ArchiverBot before, so I would go for it again. Qgil-WMF (talk) 08:40, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Alright, old posts archived. There were three old sections that were not archived automatically due to dates problems and I have archived them manually. Qgil-WMF (talk) 08:49, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Stop abuse and violence in Fawiki by checkusers

Hi all.

I sent a complaint to OC and reported that my account " shahramrashidi" has been blocked and banned in Fawiki as nominating Sockpuppetry, without any evidence. Even the user checking has not been requested by any in check user page. But the checkusers have blocked my account according to doubt only as their declaration. Which policy of WP tell you can block unlimited any user without evidence and with doubt only.

This is the response of OC: "The Commission is responsible for investigating complaints about infringements of the Privacy Policy, the Access to nonpublic personal data policy, the CheckUser policy, and the Oversight policy, on any Wikimedia project. The OC pays close attention to policies and their violations. Regarding the complaint relating to the block of User:Shahramrashidi for sockpuppet, the commission has found no violation of any of the aforementioned policies.

Shahramrashidi was blocked according to the Persian Wikipedia's (fawiki) sockpuppetry policy, which provides that a sockpuppet can be blocked without needing to identify the "sockmaster". The Commission is not an appeals body for blocks. The local community's appeal processes should be used in this case."

How do i tell and prove my account is not sockpuppet and the response of OC is about sockpuppet user only, then when my account is not sockpuppet, this policy is not applicable for my account. I asked OC to check my account is not sockpuppet and check users have abused from their facility and access, but instead of checking my account and their action has replied as a/m.

My question is can any check user block and ban any account as sockpuppet even it not to be sockpuppet? Who check this and stop their abuse? I never stop this to prove my account is not sockpuppet and check users abuse from their access. Please check my account in Fawiki and if my account to be sockpuppet, block me in all wiki projects else stop their abuse. Thanks Shahramrashidi (talk) 07:22, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
