Invitation for Functionary consultation 2021

Greetings SWMT member,

I'm letting you know in advance about a meeting I'd like to invite you to regarding the Universal Code of Conduct and the community's ownership of its future enforcement. I'm still in the process of putting together the details, but I wanted to share the date with you: 10 July, 2021. I do not have a time on this date yet, but I will let you soon. We have created a meta page with basic information. Please take a look at the meta page and sign up your name under the appropriate section.

Thank you for your time.--BAnand (WMF) 03:21, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

@BAnand (WMF): No worries mate. Will check it out. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 07:39, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Pardon me?

I'm not trying to fool anyone. I'm asking, no begging for help. That i not a crime. Maybe if I wasn't treated like a disease I would not have to resort to messaging people via here. Please be decent. I'm asking for HELP. Not someone's home address or bank details. Please don't behave like a bully. 31.125.215.135 12:17, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

You're globally blocked under the IP 31.125.215.135 which means that you're not allowed to edit any WMF project until 23/9/21. If you need help, ask a steward, not a Global Sysop. Global sysop's can't do anything. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 12:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Also pinging @Martin Urbanec: (the only steward I know) and @Leaderboard: (trusted well known user). Please help me with this user, I've got little experience on meta. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 12:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Pinging @علاء who made the block, and probably can help more here. Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:24, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Thanks Martin. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 12:25, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Well thanks to علاء for making things more difficult for me. Alas, I'll message the stewards wish me luck. 31.125.215.135 12:27, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
Well, instead of throwing aspersions, you should probably reflect on why got you this global block. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 12:29, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
This block made per this request --Alaa :)..! 03:21, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

I don't want to derail the conversation, so will respond here instead. The definition of active may be arguable, but there is precedent of IP and new users (which can also count as "active") having their votes counted. Hence I personally believe that Billinghurst was wrong, though \shrug. Leaderboard (talk) 08:06, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Just like you, I believe that all good users (i.e. no banned users or locked users) should be voting. But I think Billinghurst is probably tired of that user constantly hat collecting. (asking rollback rights after 44 edits while I myself have 1038 edits and don't have it myself) SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 08:14, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
That does not mean that he has the option to do what he wants, does he? Leaderboard (talk) 08:49, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Not at all. After all, even the stewards and admins are just regular users here but just with special tools. (also, the fact that you weren't given abuse filter helper because of "lack of communication" makes no sense to me and seemed to me that the user was picking on you) SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 08:51, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Did you mean abuse filter maintainer (AFM)? My abuse filter helper request passed on first go. I don't believe Billinghurst actually opposed my AFM proposal; it was Rschen7754 that derailed my application, which created a punishing cascading effect. Whether Rschen7754 was "picking on" me is another question entirely. Leaderboard (talk) 21:10, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Oh yes, my bad. I'll answer that other question by email. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | w:User:SHB2000) 01:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

About your action

Hi. I saw the ping you sent me, and I want to explain to you that your action was quite inappropriate. Of course, you might think of this as bold, but this is clearly not so. It's clear what happened when you mark it as done. This was automatically archived, and I marked it on hold to prevent this. Yes, you may not be aware of this intention. But you questioned if I forgot to change status. I didn't simply attach done template for this;

Done. But on hold; Granting should be logged. --Sotiale (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Because I wrote the reason I marked it on hold, you shouldn't change it. And what you left in the edit summary means you didn't see what I left at all. At this point you can't claim it's bold. If you didn't think of it as bold in the first place, the problem is even worse.

|status = on hold<!--don't change this line-->

You cannot arbitrarily change this because you do not have permission to change it. I'd like to believe that you made a mistake while trying to help a steward in a good way.

You may not know my intentions, or you may not know what practices and procedures exist. But if you don't know, the smartest thing to do is to ask someone a question, not to do it yourself. Your intentions may be good, but if the results are in the way, it's not what you want. Some stewards have noticed that you recently commented on steward's request box. I hope that your good intentions are not distorted and transmitted regardless of your intentions. In that sense, I hope that you will be a little more considerate in the future. Thank you. --Sotiale (talk) 12:41, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I'll be more considerate in the future. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 12:42, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

don't

I don't want to be blocked globally. Before all of this I was working hard to become a good user on both regular and simple wikipedia and now I have been banned from both and also you have requested I get a global block. I want to be unmanned from both the regular English and simple wikipedia in the near future so please don't do it. MrDanielBryer (talk) 11:17, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

You haven't made any good contributions and made some legal threats, and you are blocked on both the wikis you've been contributing to. That = x-wiki abuse. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 11:30, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

I have agreed on simple wikipedia to never do legal threats again, which is what I was told to do. which means I can be unblocked again hopefullym MrDanielBryer (talk) 11:34, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Edit wars with vandals/LTAs

Please don't do it. You are feeding the troll; be more bored. It will typically be a popular page, and someone will see it and action it, most especially if it is a stewards' page. Report it to Meta:RfH if truly needed. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 08:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Was about to comment this

+1 for this year wishlist for tech I guess. But if they persist, do re-report, I will be willing to impose a block for it (if it's close to their thanking spree) as blocks are preventative, not punitive and should not be used to convey a message in most cases. We can use wishlist to move mediawiki devs if needed, but well it can be vetoed easily still but some awareness is still better than nothing. I am sure people are annoyed too with thanking en masse.

Relations between 7elteven and yourself?

It looks like someone pointed that you are probably a meatpuppet of 7elteven, could you please clarify it, as I don't love to submit a RFCU request against you without more informations to be evidence-able? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:51, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

@Liuxinyu970226: I have no relation with 7elteven in any way or form. I didn't even know this user until I made my first edit to nawiki in March where before I'd only edited the English Wikivoyage.

Hello! I saw your answer in the proposal.
You can read all descriptions of the problems in this RfC, opened on October 20, and in the earlier RFC, opened in the spring.
There are no final decisions on both RfCs yet. So you can give your point of view there. Va (🖋️) 16:05, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Vami, I'll be sure to check those out this afternoon when I get back home. Regards, --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 20:29, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
@Vami: Had a look at both the RfCs which were opened on Oct and last autumn (or northern spring). I'll comment on it within the next few days, when my schedule is a bit more freeing, as this does require some research to know the full story (and I mean the full full one, not just a summarised one). After that, I'll comment. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 09:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

@Taylor 49: had a long read of all this and took some time to think what should be done. sorry for not responding earlier, I've been interstate and haven't had my computer with me. All I would advise is to nuke all pages created by the former admin (it was Pablo I think?), excluding pages in namespace 1 (talk pages) and their userpage and propose an indef ban them for copyvios which is technically breaking the law and WMF's ToS. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 09:02, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. Do you have an idea how to request such an action? Could you please place you suggestions that at Requests for comment/Resolve massive copyright infringement on Wiktionary in Esperanto? Taylor 49 (talk) 11:09, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Done It seems the only way forward to me. I'd say nuking the pages should probably be done first and then consider an indef block. Please ping me on that page, as I don't regularly check meta that often these days. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 11:30, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
