Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

A very serious accusation

[edit]
Latest comment: 9 hours ago7 comments2 people in discussion

To whom it may concern. In two interventions in this thread, user Lazaro d'Aragón has publicly accused me of being the author of death threats against him: 1) He wrote (in Spanish, automatically translated by Deepl.com) "the user who opens this thread, who I personally believe to be the author of the death threats I've received" (diff). 2) And again: "who I personally believe to be the author of the death threats I have received is the person who opened this thread" (diff). This accusation is false and a very serious attack on my honour. The use of the word ‘personally’ does not diminish the seriousness of an accusation that has been made publicly. I request the intervention of a steward and that disciplinary action be imposed on Lazaro commensurate with the seriousness of the accusation. Thank you.

(Spanish) Señor Pompilos, es usted una persona que actúa como un trol, por motivos políticos ultranacionalistas españoles, en todas las wikipedias existentes en España en idiomas distintos al castellano. Ha sido usted bloqueado en dos ocasiones por sus comentarios ofensivos y agresivos contra otros usuarios y contra administradores en la wikipedia en catalán, y le he bloqueado merecidísimamente en la Biquipedia en aragonés por exactamente los mismos motivos. Además ha sido usted reprendido en muchas ocasiones en su propio proyecto, la Wikipedia en español, por motivos idénticos. Coincidiendo con su campaña de acoso con múltiples denuncias en Meta contra mí y contra la Biquipedia en aragonés he recibido en mi correo electrónico amenazas de muerte con comentarios coincidentes con los que usted hacía en público. Mi conclusión es pues obvia, ya que ese tipo de comportamientos son plenamente consistentes con su conducta agresiva e insultante contra múltiples usuarios en al menos tres proyectos en tres idiomas diferentes. Y he solicitado varias veces en varias ocasiones que se sancione globalmente su actitud por ser completamente contraria al espíritu que debería prevalecer en un proyecto colaborativo. Olvídese de mí de una vez en sus obsesiones de denuncias constantes, porque lleva usted ya acumuladas varias decenas. Y es usted justamente el culpable de que mi hartazgo me haya hecho decidir abandonar por completo mi colaboración en cualquier wikipedia, tras la puntilla que ha supuesto el señor @userMGA73. De modo que hagan ustedes lo que quieran, porque estoy harto de acosos, amenazas, insultos y provocaciones, todo ello motivado por hacer más de 100.000 ediciones en un pequeño proyecto wikipédico en un idioma cuya existencia al parecer ofende al señor Pompilos y a lagunos otros personejes como él. Y no pienso volver a colaborar de ningún modo en ningún proyecto relacionado con la Fundación Wikipedia. Saludos, Lazaro d'Aragón (talk) 14:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Lazaro d'Aragón, although our relations are not good, I am going to ask you a favour. Please, go to a police station in Spain and report the death threats you say you have received, and tell them that you suspect me of being the author. Although I am not going to reveal my real identity here, it is easy to find out with a search engine. Thank you. Pompilos (talk) 14:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
(Spanish) Por cierto, ¿cómo está el tema de la denuncia contra la Biquipedia ante el Tribunal de Derechs Humanos con la que nos amenazaba por vulnerar los Derechos Humanos?. Según usted decía, al no conocer el idioma aragonés era usted incapaz de ver las imágenes existentes en la Biquipedia, y eso era una grave violación "idiomista" (sic, palabra inexistente en su idioma) de sus Derechos Humanos, argumento a todas luces propio de una persona centrada y equilibrada. Sigo esperando la notificación de la denuncia. ¿[https://an.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Tabierna/Politicas&diff=prev&oldid=1756358 Lo recuerda?.

Irony is not a constructive means of communication. The above message is only intended to distract attention from my request (the false accusation that I have addressed death threats to him) and wastes the time of all of us. Pompilos (talk) 23:00, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dear Meta sysops. You probably do not resolve my complaint against the false accusation of Lazaro d'Aragón because you think that perhaps Lazaro is telling the truth. I am going to put forward a hypothesis. Imagine that I write a message in which I call Lazaro ‘Rapist’. I am sure you would intervene and delete the insult. If I claimed that the insult was based on the fact that Lazaro actually raped me, you would not evaluate whether or not it is true that he raped me. You would reply me that evaluating it is not Meta sysops' responsibility: that the insult would only stand up in Meta if I provide the court sentence proving that this is so, or maybe not even in this case. Lázaro does not provide any court sentence proving that I have threatened to kill him, not even a complaint against me to the police. In doing so, he is accusing me of a crime and damaging my honor and you, Meta sysops, are tolerating it. This is not fair and it has to stop now. Thank you.

Es curioso, porque veo que ya ha sido bloqueado en su propio poyecto (es el tercer proyecto en el que se le bloquea, va camino de récord) por "sabotaje", que es como ha descrito @Taichi su comportamiento (yo lo había adjetivado cuando le bloqueé como conducta disruptiva), que aquí describe perfectamente como: seudodenuncia producto de tus constantes problemas editoriales, te andas peleando con diversos usuarios, no pareces entender el lenguaje descrito por otros (o asumo yo que las interpretas a mera conveniencia táctica), pero arrojas una discusión encendida para que te favorezca comunitariamente pero no consigues nada más que rechazo, hastiar a las contrapartes con cosas repetitivas para hacerles perder la calma y después decir «¡ven cuánta razón tengo, ellos me faltan el respeto, lo que digo entonces sí es correcto!». Me quedo con tus últimas palabras de «un comportamiento así debe cortarse de raíz» pero las aplico a quien la merece, esto ya supera el umbral de esta prohibición por lo que no sólo te desestimo la denuncia, sino que tengo que bloquearte por dos semanas, exigiendo que rebajes tu intensidad con el tema topónimos y que luego de la sanción seas más concesivo y apliques con más frecuencia esta máxima, por el bien de todos los demás usuarios y el tuyo propio. No puedo por menos que compartir plenamente esta perfecta definición de su forma de actuar, cuando curiosamente usted mismo dice que atribuyéndome, de forma indirecta pero obvia, una ideología totalitaria contraria a las lenguas minoritarias de España. Algo de lo que yo le he acusado no indirectamente, sino claramente, ya que ese ha sido su comportamiento de acosos, vandalismos, sabotajes y denuncias contra todo el mundo porque le insultan en las wikipedias aragonesa y catalana, donde se le ha bloqueado por tratar de asesino a otro usuario y por vandalismo. De todos modos en mi caso, entre usted y @MGA73 lo han conseguido: ya hay un editor menos en los proyectos de la Fundación. Y no uno cualquiera, ya que en mis dos etapas de colaboración había hecho más de 300.000 ediciones, con miles de artículos creados en varios idiomas. Felicidades. Y espero que todos estos hechos sirvan para que se recapacite sobre cómo actuar con personajes como este (y como el otro que cito) antes de que revienten una comunidad wikipédica por completo. Le aviso a usted y al otro de que no velveré a intervenir para nada en ningún proyecto de la Fundación, de modo que aproveche para soltar su rollo hablando solo. Au, adiós.

Request for Massmessage senders permission

[edit]
Latest comment: 21 hours ago4 comments2 people in discussion

This message is sent on behalf of the Wikipedia Asian Month User Group. I joined the Wikipedia Asian Month User Group about two months ago and am currently the main contact for this user group. With the support of our partners from Wikimedia Taiwan, I will be responsible for this year's WAM campaign. Although I am a newcomer, I am working hard to learn about Wikimedia movement matters.

To prepare for this year's WAM campaign, we need to send invitations to past organizers and convene a call to exchange ideas and opinions about this year's campaign. Here is the sending list and the content.

In addition to this call for past organizers, we will also need to send invitations to potential participants and Barnstars to award winners in the future. Therefore, I would like to request permission to use the MassMessage senders tool.

If there are any aspects of this request that require further clarification or if you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you very much for your assistance and understanding. Betty2407 (talk) 16:48, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Betty2407 please check MassMessage#Global message delivery and my previous remarks again. Ideally the message should include a sentence or at least some links explaining why users got the message and how they can unsubscribe if they no longer want it (most people do this by addling something like [[:m:User:Betty2407/WAMMassMessagelist|Unsubscribe]] | [[:m:Global message delivery|Global message delivery]] before the signature.
And if you send the message only to metawiki talk pages, you don't need to use links explicitly pointing to meta. [[m:Link|Link]] instead of [[Link]] is only needed if you send the message to talkpages outside metawiki (similarly <div lang="en" dir="ltr"> is not needed if you send the message to metawiki pages only). --Johannnes89 (talk) 05:39, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Dear Johannnes89,
Thank you once again for your patience and instruction. These are really helpful for me to learn.
1. I have add a sentence in the end “You received this message because you was an organizer in the previous campaigns”to notice the receivers the reason why they got the message.
2. I originally didn't understand why the list link should be shown as "unsubscribe," but now I get it. By including the list, receivers can edit it themselves.
3. I have already replaced links from [[m:Link|Link]] to [[Link|Words]]
I understand that granting this permission to a newcomer may raise some concerns, so it’s okay if you decide not to give me the access for now. I’m prepared to send messages manually for this year's campaign. I will keep learning and doing. Thank you :) Betty2407 (talk) 12:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Betty2407 regarding your last comment: You can also ask meta admins to send out mass messages you prepared (that's what user usually do if they don't need frequent mass messages).
I think we are now at a point where you've learned enough to get the permissions (especially if you can still get support by @Joycewikiwiki in case any questions come up). I will wait 2-3 days in case other admins want to comment and grant the permissions if there are no objections. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:15, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Global filters

Latest comment: 21 hours ago9 comments6 people in discussion

Hi, could you please review these false positives?

Regards,--SRuizR ¡Pure life! 16:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have some suggestions and responses listed
  • 1: remove the last two phrases on line 23.
  • 2: I emailed a Meta admin to fix the regex due to a mistake.
  • 3: Some Meta administrator removed some specific conditions that caused significant false positives.
  • 4: I think removing the fourth phrase from line 20 should stop such false positives from happening.
Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 18:56, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
  1. @XXBlackburnXx could you take a look at Special:AbuseFilter/132? This keyword [5] has caused these false positives [6], can we safely remove it?
  2. Special:AbuseFilter/324 has been changed by @EPIC and @1234qwer1234qwer4
  3. @EPIC could you take a look at Special:AbuseFilter/345? This false positive [7] is caused by this change [8]
  4. Regarding Special:AbuseFilter/72 and this false positive [9] I don't think we should change it. Similar false positives are not very likely and the specific phase (indeed the fourth phrase from line 20) seems useful to stop spambots?
Johannnes89 (talk) 06:01, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I put #1 in log-only. Will review later because I don’t have my computer on hand. -XXBlackburnXx (talk) 08:57, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
The 345 FP was before the filter was changed. The error that caused it was fixed in the last change AFAIK. EPIC (talk) 09:01, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
oh you're right, I must have tested the wrong filter version when examining the change. Johannnes89 (talk) 09:29, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
FTR, 4. was indeed already discussed previously and kept. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 11:34, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
With 2 and 3 changed, 1 taken care of as well and 4 discussed but intentionally not changed, this request is resolved. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:17, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
