Round 2 Re-submission of Arc.heolo.gy proposal

Hi there Ruslik,

I have decided to reapply for the Round 2 of the 2016 Project Grant applications.

I selected to create a new proposal, and it seemed to simply overlay the new information on the old application page, therefore leaving my updates and revisions on the Round 2 version attached to the "Past Proposals" link to the application.

Do you know how I would get this updated version bumped into the "Current Proposal" sections?

Blocked IP

Hi,

You have blocked an IP address range including mine from editing. This is not due to my edits, so must be from due to user on the same ISP. Is it Wikipedia policy to block the IP range for an entire ISP because one of its users broke the rules?

Me too! I’ve also been blocked from editing a page.

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia.

Editing from your IP address range (213.162.73.0/24) has been blocked (disabled) on all Wikimedia wikis until 20:40, 28 October 2019 by Ruslik0 (meta.wikimedia.org) for the following reason:

Long-term abuse

This block began on 20:40, 28 October 2018 - I don't understand why I am blocked, the phrase "long-term abuse" can never be dedicated to me.

By the way: my own IP-address is 213.162.73.13.

You blocked me too and I've gotten messages saying I made edits on articles I never read. 1Trevorr (talk) 17:13, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Block IP

Hello,

I have just logged into my account after moving to Israel and have discovered my entire IP range has been blocked. This seems somewhat excessive?

"Your current IP address is 185.3.147.179, and the blocked range is 185.3.146.0/23. Please include all above details in any queries you make."

--Urbanplay (talk) 17:29, 16 June 2018 (UTC) This happened to me as well. Maybe this is due to the fact that I use an USB-stick for my internet access. Please unblock this IP asap because I have not misused Wiki in any way. The error message was: "Deine aktuelle IP-Adresse ist 109.40.129.228 und der gesperrte Bereich ist 109.40.129.0/24.

I am user en:User:Boiagiallo-edits: I made several edits in en.wiki and it.wiki, but unlogged IP 2.239.136.182-it.wiki, during April 2013 for to improve and to start several articles regarding Italian food and related articles. I used a computer in a public location en:User talk:2.239.136.182: obvious that computer, and related IP, was in charing use with other users, but an Italian admin globally locked my account [Boiagiallo], wich is used by me alone. I leave a post in Italian discussion of admin, but he ignored me. Admin was looking for other editors, who edit in articles regarding history and sports, but those users are not my friends and I don't know them! If you global unlock [Boiagiallo], I can continue to improve many articles in many languages: articles regarding Italian food and related articles! I made request here.

Apology

Everyone... Let me talk...

It all started in 2014/2015 (I think) when I created a Wikipedia account. I was exaggerating the sizes of UY Scuti at the time. I now know that UY Scuti is only 1,708 ± 192 solar radii.

I came back in June 2017. I wanted to help make useful contributions to the encyclopedia. Everything turned out well for the first 2-3 months. However, things changed. Some users started to argue against me, especially when it came to star sizes.

Then, when I tried to introduce more information, the other users didn't like it and started to want to get me blocked. They succeeded. Why would they pick on me? Yes, why me? Why are they always saying that everyone else is right (not in the case of wikipedia:WP:TRUTH, but in encyclopedic contribution terms) and I am wrong?

But things took a turn for the worse. My archnemesis, Sasha Primerov, started insulting me on wikipedia:es.wikipedia.org . He got both of us blocked indefinitely as a result. My niece, friend, and archnemesis made their own Wikipedia accounts on my computer without my consent. My niece was making disruptive edits to wikipedia:List of largest stars, my friend was editing in bible verses even though it is vandalism, and my archnemesis was making personal attacks. All of our accounts got involved in a sockpuppet investigation and all of them were banned, and my account was globally locked. All of this is the truth.

Everyone...

Please, in 4 months, let me come back. Please unlock my account and inform an administrator to unblock me. Not now, but in 4 to 5 months, to complete the wikipedia:Wikipedia:Standard offer.

My only intention was to help build an encyclopedia. I really don't want to be globally locked. After all, Wikipedia is «the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.»

I don't hate the people who think that I am wrong and that I should be blocked. I actually like all of you, guys. Just please let me contribute to the encyclopedia.

Please, I promise to never let anyone make a Wikipedia account on my computer again. I also promise that I will avoid the behavior that got me blocked at all times and make useful contributions.

Please, give me a second chance. I am just a teenager living in wikipedia:Russia, and I want to make Wikipedia more reliable than it is today.

I am very sorry for the incidents and thank you very much, in advance.

Reason for IP blocking?

Hello, Ruslik,

I've been informed, that my IP address (46.211.99.7 from the blocked range 46.211.0.0/16) is currently blocked by you since 20.07.18. May you detalize, what is meant by "Long-term abuse" in my case? Is this a problem of my mobile internet operator - and if so, may it be resolved in some more sophisticated way?

Pleas unlock IP

Dear Rusliko, I tried to create an account to contribute to Wikipedia, but I got the reply that my IP adress 82.113.106.8 is blocked, since it is part of the IP-range 82.113.106.0/24, due to long-term abuse. Since I have never worked with Wikipedia before, this seems to be a fault. Could you please unlock my IP? With many thanks in advance and best regards, Sebastian

IP blocked

Dear Sir/Madam, you have blocked my IP address range (212.95.5.0/24), marked "your current IP address is 212.95.5.218." for "Long-term abuse" Would you please tell me what seems to be the problem here? I am not aware of any "abuse", I am doing proper historical research, I cite all sources. I spent quite some in libraries to find out about this forgotten general. Now that I am retired, I can afford to do so. Isn't wikipedia supposed to be about extending knowledge?

Yours sincerely,

User:Panara_hin_abusado admin status@warwiki

I'm currently one of those who have an admin access at https://war.wikipedia.org.

I've just noticed and was surprised to know that we suddenly have a new admin with the username Panara_hin_abusado at Waray Wikipedia . https://war.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pinaurog:ListUsers&group=sysop.

I'm at a lost why and how this user was able to gain sysop access at warwiki when he or she did not even edit once across wikimedia projects as of this moment. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Panara_hin_abusado. There was also no request for adminship at Waray Wikipedia for this user. https://war.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mga_hangyo_nga_mahimo_nga_magdudumara. We do not have any steward or bureaucrat at warwiki by the way.

Harassment regarding userrights you have modified

Dear steward,

You and steward @علاء: have changed my userrights on Marathi wikisource and allowed me for continuing my temporary administrator privilages as per steward policies on that wiki. Since past few months I have been harassed on that wiki by a user QueerEcofeminist who has been blatantly insulting me and has pure intensions to defame me. This user is just copying all my edits patterns on meta Commons and enwp. Copying all the gadgets tools and trying all ways to harass me. It is true that on Marathi Wikipedia this user and his fellow team disruped the whole voting process because of which the local admin had to forcefully delete their votes and protect that page. The same technique is used on wikisource now where there is a limited community. This user on this page has not only accused me for misbehaving/vandalising/supporting vandals and sockpuppets but also making personal remarks and all negative stuffs on me. This comes into light when steward @Ajraddatz: rejected his account Creator request on SRP. He went on local wiki to ask where I questioned him about whether he has followed procedure regarding this userright where in reply he in a rage tone replied on my mrwp talkpage stating that I want a reply from you on wikisource.

I request you to please look into this asap and find a concrete solution to this massive abuses and defaming that this user is doing about me. Thanking you. --Tiven2240 (talk) 16:46, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ruslik0: Hello. Remember this report you took care of yesterday? I just wanted to let you know that you missed some of this LTA's socks (they are cross-wiki, as usual). Can you please Lock the accounts, and also run a sleeper check on the accounts and his listed IP range? Can you please also apply a 6-12 month "anon-only" Global + Local Rangeblock on his IP range? His IPs are semi-dynamic, but in the last 3 years, his IPs have generally been limited to the /21 range I listed above (with the exception of another /22 range that has since gone inactive). The range also needs to be rangeblocked locally, because he also has a history of socking on Meta. You can see this discussion from last year for more info on this LTA's behavior. (By now, this LTA is pretty much mainly a cross-wiki vandalizer, and has been logging back in to any old accounts he can find.) If you don't block the /21 range (which I strongly recommend), you should at least block this IP locally: 181.49.95.0/24 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog. In case you're wondering, the last 6-month Global/Local Rangeblock on the /21 range was 100% effective (it expired last December). At this point, it is my opinion that anon editors on that range need to see a Steward for creating an account to use, due to the severity of abuse from this LTA. The "anon-only" setting should allow uninvolved users with their own accounts to continue editing. Thank you. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 20:42, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ruslik0 and RadiX: Hello. Can you please Globally Lock all of these accounts? They are probably sleeper accounts of ROXELANA22 (it seems that this LTA's original username was "AUC COLOMBIA"). Each account is behaviorally identical to his first account (AUC COLOMBIA), and each account was created within rapid succession on es.wikipedia, this LTA's home wiki. Almost all of these sleepers are already locally indeffed. (This page demonstrates that the only unblocked sock, AUC COLOMBIA 2009, is still a part of this sockfarm.) Every single one of his socks/sleepers needs to be Globally Locked, because as demonstrated numerous times in the past (e.g. ZiguratEnki, AUC COLOMBIA), this nut still remembers his password(s) for all of his accounts, no matter how old they are, and also because sock accounts that are locally blocked but not Globally Locked can be "regenerated" on another Wikipedia Project (this LTA has been doing this with each of his socks since 2017). This basically means that all of his socks need to be Globally Locked in order to effectively curb his abuse. Thank you. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 03:59, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Can you please consider an "anon-only" Global/Local Rangeblock of the range listed above? The person responsible is a cross-wiki vandal who appears to be imitating the vandalism of IPhonehurricane95, and possibly also Lighting Sabre (also known as the "UAK vandal"), given the persistent use of 9/11 imagery vandalism and references to "UnderArmourKid" in his edit summaries. This person has been vandalizing via multiple IPs in the range since December 2018, and so far, he has vandalized on en.wiki, sv.wiki, Commons, and Meta wiki (other sites may be affected as well). At least 3 of his IPs have already been subjected to Global Blocks, but they seem to be doing nothing to curb his abuse. Can you please implement a 3-6 month Global and Local rangeblock? The vandalism and personal attacks from this vandal are quite severe and involve graphic (and even indecent) images. Thank you. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 01:40, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Can you please also sweep the range for sleeper accounts? It isn't unusual for imitators of LTAs to generate their own accounts. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 01:41, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hiding text on Wikipedia (en)

Hi ... Is it possible you hide the text I delete on Wikipedia (en) (please see [2], an editor sent me this message [3] asking to cancel and hide it but as global Sysop I can not do it. Translating by Google it seems that there are several offenses. Kind regards. DARIO SEVERI (talk) 09:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Done as I have enWP admin rights, so it is completely without issue.  — billinghurst sDrewth 09:49, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Can you please Globally Block this IP? The Arturo Gustavo LTA was using it to stalk me cross wiki (and he may have used it to generate more sock accounts). The IP should also be checked for sleepers, since he's known for generating a large number of socks. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:59, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Dear Ruslik0,

Please take all of LightandDark2000's requests with "grain of salt". The CIDR/24 blocks looks like aggresive overreach by requestor. Do you know this is static or dynamic or not? I don't think requestor knows. He just randomly throwing out /24 or sometimes /22 requests to you and hope it sticks. But he got no expertise or access to CU tools.

Cross-wiki LTA

• Alvaro la Venganza (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date • CA • ST • lwcheckuser)
• 181.49.92.0/22 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog

@Ruslik0: I found one more sleeper (the contributions obviously indicate that it's him). Can you please lock the account and also Globally / Locally Rangeblock the IPs for at least 6-12 months (specifically, an "anon-only" block to prevent collateral)? This LTA immediately resumed cross-wiki abuse 2 days after the last 6-month Global/Local Rangeblock expired (on the larger /21 range). This LTA's IPs are semi-dynamic, so they change every 2-4 weeks, but are usually restricted to 1 or 2 ranges at a time. At least 90% to 95% of all of his IPs within the last 3 years can be traced back to this range (with the exception of another inactive range), so a rangeblock on this range should effectively keep him from being about to sock until its expiration. Incidentally, this range is currently being abused by at least 1 or 2 other cross-wiki LTAs (active on en.wiki, es.wiki, and possibly others), which have resulted in a smaller, separate rangeblock on en.wiki (181.49.88.0/23), so a Global Block would be able to prevent cross-wiki abuse from ROXELANA22 and the other LTAs on this range. This page on Commons indicates that he has been abusing this range for almost 3 years now, and given the severity of the cross-wiki abuse, I personally believe that account creation and IP editing from anons should be restricted until the abuse winds down. (An "anon-only" block should allow unrelated users on that range to continue editing, and unregistered users should still be able to contact the Stewards for account creation.) Thank you.

In terms of possible collateral, the /22 subnet has a significantly smaller potential collateral than the larger /21 range, and recently, there have been several Rangeblocks enacted that have a significantly larger collateral damage than the range listed above, including 2607:fb90::/32. That range has enormous collateral, and yet, it has been locally rangeblocked up to 3 years, and Globally Rangeblocked multiple times due to the recent abuse. At the same time, the vandalism from the "Dog and rapper vandal" (the main LTA on that range) has never actually reached the severity of ROXELANA22. I can guarantee that within 1 month, if this LTA hasn't been rangeblocked, he will generate another string of cross-wiki socks, as seen last year. Given the abuse from this LTA and other cross-wiki vandals, I believe that it's in the best interest of the Projects for the IPs to be blocked. The IPs also need to be blocked on Meta, because he also socks on this site, as observed in some of the socks from this month. (He has also issued death threats to me and other users, so I'm considered whether or not to notify WMF of the abuse.) LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Done Ruslik (talk) 20:41, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Can you please also extend the "anon-only" block on the /22 range to Meta? These 2 recent accounts, 4NT1 7PS 43 and COOOCOOON, indicate that he is returning to sock on Meta (something he did numerous times last year). The talk page access doesn't have to be revoked yet. Thank you. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Dear Ruslik0,

This user have a habit to take up too much your precious bandwidth. So, I don't know if he just send requests until each steward got exhausted and "good wills" ran out. Then maybe he just moves on to another steward and use up another good wills.

Ruslik (and anyone else reading this), I'm sure you're well aware that the comments from the IP above are basically trolling, specifically by the LTA Arturo Gustavo. As I've already told him, he is still quite clueless about how I run my anti-vandal operations (or even my extensive vandal/LTA research), and obviously, none of what he said above accurately describes what I was trying to accomplish. I could go into more detail explaining why I do stuff the way that I do (and also how I know how to hunt down LTAs and find their recent ranges), but I'd rather not go into more detail on this at the moment. I actually think that Arturo's a bit paranoid (especially towards CUs), though I can't really blame him there, given his socking as an LTA. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Some explanations sounds like partially legitimate, however some explanations looks like grasping the straws. Arturo has some good working relationships with 2 or 3 en~CheckUsers. The CIDR /24, /23, /22 blocks should dish out conservatively because avoid collateral is best. Only reason to do CIDR blocks is avoid to revealing the Lima Tango Alpha's underlying IP.

Also, L&D2k behavior need to closely monitor because more and more Stewards and now Global Sysops (example: Billinghurst) are impacted negatively due to him. How to regulate his petulances and anti-community behaviors? --12.27.65.221 23:28, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Abuse filter

Hello dear steward Ruslik0 I am unable to translate a page into Hindi. Its say that "The action is potentially regarded as unconstructed and it has been disallowed. A brief note of which filter description filter is match is: Antivandalism". I was just trying to translate which filter I hit? Content was:

यह पुरस्कार हैं:<ref>ध्यान दें: यदि अप्रत्याशित समस्याओं के कारण आवश्यक समझा जाता है, तो आयोजकों को पुरस्कार को एक उपयुक्त प्रतिस्थापन में बदलने का अधिकार सुरक्षित है।</ref>

Please help translate this dear steward. Thank you sir.106.209.170.174 12:23, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Done Your edit looks fine and I've added it for you. I'm not sure why that filter was triggered, @MarcoAurelio: as the one who last edited that filter. Leaderboard (talk) 12:38, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

My edit on that filter was to exclude bots from it. As you can see it is aimed to stop some abusive words. I think that given that the user used the word "Surakshit", which matches the pattern of a prohibited word, the filter was triggered. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:41, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

OAuth request

Hello,

Would you please be kind enough to accept the OAuth requests ? I'm trying to get it working.

Thank you !

--DSwissK (talk) 14:12, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

@DSwissK: These requests usually are made at SRM in the community's view, not away on a user talk page.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:12, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't know. Should I write it there ? --DSwissK (talk) 20:14, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

The community sets up a series of Steward requests pages to manage community business so it is central, archived, visible, and enabling of the workload to first available steward. I cannot tell you not to write on a user talk page, especially not a steward's. All I can do is talk about the system, if you could move it there, it would be my preference.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:32, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Apparently there's a problem with my IP address

Hello, I created a new article on the German Wikipedia called de:Sebastian Weyer. Now I wanted to connect the article with its corresponding English and Italian versions. I get an error saying "Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis." And it says you blocked all IPs in the 213.162.73.0/24 range (including me) until 28 October 2019. What can I do? Could you please connect the different language-versions of those articles? Thank you very much! Judith Sunrise (talk) 20:25, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind, I tried again from the new article on the German Wikipedia and that worked. Judith Sunrise (talk) 20:26, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
