About username change request
Hello, I have just seen that you denied my username change request of "Siz". may I learn why? the account has a total edit count of 1 and is inactive. thanks, Tahatamer0 (talk) 19:33, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Tahatamer0 Did you read my replay; "the username "Siz" can be usurped. Please open a new request."? --Alaa :)..! 19:35, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- I did, I just did not understand why I should've opened a new request. I did it anyway. Just asking out of curiosity. thanks, Tahatamer0 (talk) 19:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Tahatamer0, changing the username requested in the request will make the discussion incomprehensible to other users, that the discussion was actually about 3 usernames. Therefore, it is correct to submit a new request, while preserving the old request for illustrative archival purposes. Thanks --Alaa :)..! 19:40, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- ok then. thanks, Tahatamer0 (talk) 19:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Temporary account IP access policy
Hey, we briefly talked about this a couple days ago - the policy is at foundation:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy. Hope you are doing well! – Ajraddatz (talk) 11:26, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Ajraddatz, thanks for the reminder, and I'm glad we had a quick talk. You mean this Foundation:Policy:Access to temporary account IP addresses (Title: Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy)? I'll re-read it and complete the Arabic translation. --Alaa :)..! 21:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ah yes - sorry didn't see the hidden namespace! You could check with the WMF people working on the document, not sure if it's at the final version yet for translations. – Ajraddatz (talk) 22:15, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
xwiki CU request involving arwiki/Wikidata
Dear arwiki/Wikidata CU and Wikimedia Steward.
Hello, I'm writing this to inform you that an unacceptable parallel account operation (including block evasions) was previously found in enwiki/simplewiki, and the involved users are also active at arwiki/Wikidata (where you have CU permissions), and future xwiki CU results may lead to a global lock as "cross-wiki abuse".
Please note that the following users are confirmed in w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Irtapil/Archive, and they have recent edits in arwiki/Wikidata:
In addition, I estimate that the following user is related to the above per the behavior evidence explained in w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Irtapil and simple:Special:Diff/9770165:
Please also see simple:Special:Diff/9771749 (simplewiki CU feedback) and simple:special:redirect/logid/2817326 (simplewiki CU result) for further details.
Please have a look at their edits in arwiki to see if their actions are acceptable to the arwiki community, and please also decide if the users should stay in the global community.
I look forward to hearing from you. MathXplore (talk) 01:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello MathXplore, all first three accounts blocked in arwiki then locked globally as "cross-wiki abuse". Regarding Wikidata edits, most of them are automatic edits resulting from change pages titles. In addition, the same behavior is followed in other projects. Finally, if there's any updates regarding "LagoonGoose", please if you can inform me. Thanks --Alaa :)..! 09:02, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, user:LagoonGoose is confirmed by the enwiki CU. MathXplore (talk) 22:21, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- MathXplore, sorry for my late replay, but already done by EPIC --Alaa :)..! 10:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Global filter 171
