=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
I hope I’m following the template correctly.
Dear Wikimedia Team.

I am worried that the user Mirzali is engaging in sysop abuse at the Zazaki Wiktionary. I have notified the team at Requests for Comment [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse_by_Mirzali_on_Zazaki_Wiktionary Here!] and they told me: "You may want to consider filing at Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases instead." so that is what I did.

I have been blocked indefinitely in the Zazaki Wiktionary without any prior warning on my talk page as far as I can see.

[https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Werênayışê_karberi:Kurdanparez My Zazaki Wiktionary Talk page (link)]

The comment for my block is only “Tiya Zazaki nuşiyeno, Kurdki nê…”, in other words, that I am not allowed to write anything in Kurdish.

So far, I’ve made less than 10 edits on the website. I’ve mostly edited on pages about the Kurmanji Kurdish language, since it is my native language, and added a template about adjectives (the positive, comparative and superlative table), so I’ve not made anything complicated, harrassed anyone or written inaccurate information in the Wiktionary.

I do not intend to vandalize or do anything, and as you are able to see on my edit history, I do not engage in harmful behavior, edit-warring and anything else in that regard. It is also a well-known principle ([[foundation:Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] 2.1 of Code-of-Conduct "Assume Good Faith") that admins should assume good faith first from users, and even if I did do wrongful behavior in the Wiktionary, I have not been notified of any specific event. I do not intend to break any rules either on the Zazaki Wikipedia - and if I have been doing so based on my activity, I still have not gotten any explanation for which rules are broken, and why it warrants an indefinite block, which makes me think of Code of Conduct policy 2.2. Civility, collegiality, mutual support and good citizenship.

Mirzali seemingly without evidence has said that I have no credentials or authority to say anything related to Zazas, “since I am a Kurd” and is also generally very hostile in an otherwise mostly calm discussion.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Zazaki_entry_guidelines#c-Mirzali-20260707134900-Kurdanparez-20260707110800 See the comment here]

He says:
*"You are Kurdish. I am Zaza. You have no authority; moral, linguistic, or historical; to speak on behalf of my language. Your entire post is an exercise in misplaced entitlement, and I will not entertain it. You frame this as a debate about alphabets. It is not. It is about a Kurd; you, attempting to insert himself into a Zaza internal matter, pretending to advocate for us while in fact treating our language as a political football in your broader Kurdish nationalist project. I do not need your advocacy. I did not ask for it. And I reject it outright."
*"So here is my response to you, direct and without polish:
**Stay in your lane. Zazaki is not Kurdish. Zazas are not Kurds. You do not get a vote.
**Stop pretending to be an ally. Allies listen. You lecture. That is not solidarity; that is domination.
**Wiktionary is not your battlefield. If you care about Zazaki, step aside and let Zazas speak. If you cannot do that, then stay silent."
*"Do not reply to me unless you are prepared to acknowledge that you have no say in this matter. I will not engage further with a Kurd who thinks he knows my language better than I do."

I believe this is important context in regards to why he has chosen to block me from the Zazaki Wiktionary. It is evident that he breaks rule 3.1 (Harassment) of the Code of Conduct, specifically:

* '''Insults:''' This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, sex, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics. In some cases, repeated mockery, sarcasm, or aggression constitute insults collectively, even if individual statements would not.

Furthermore he breaks 3.2 (Abuse of Power), specifically:

* '''Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff:''' use of authority, knowledge, or resources at the disposal of designated functionaries, as well as officials and staff of the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia affiliates, '''to intimidate or threaten others.'''
** Example: "Stay in your lane. Zazaki is not Kurdish. Zazas are not Kurds. You do not get a vote." and "If you care about Zazaki, step aside and let Zazas speak. If you cannot do that, then stay silent."

as well as 3.3:

* '''Hate speech in any form''', or discriminatory language aimed at vilifying, humiliating, inciting hatred against individuals or groups on the basis of who they are or their personal beliefs:
** Example: "You are Kurdish. I am Zaza. You have no authority; moral, linguistic, or historical; to speak on behalf of my language."

I apologize for any inconvenience, but I cannot see any other solution relevant to this case other than to notify you, the Wikimedia Team.

I would also like to note that Mirzali has gotten past complains about sysop-abuse in other projects also over 10 years ago:

[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse:Mirzali 2011]

[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse_on_the_Zazaki_Wikipedia, 2013]

I thank you for taking the time to read my request, and I hope you will consider resolving this issue about user blocking.

Best regards
Kurdanparez

=== Previous attempts at a solution - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
I cannot explain myself on my own or his talk page. I cannot solve this problem independently. I’ve been blocked on every parameter. So I’m basically view-only. I think it is a bit worrying that I have gotten no warnings and he has straight-out blocked me from doing anything. That is why I believe it is sysop-abuse, since he is sysop in the Zazaki Wiktionary. Reminder that he says: "Do not reply to me unless you are prepared to acknowledge that you have no say in this matter. I will not engage further with a Kurd who thinks he knows my language better than I do."

=== Suggested solutions - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
It is absolutely clear that he holds a different threshold towards Kurds than he does to other people, and he is insistent that Zazas are not Kurds and uses this principle as a disciplinary measure as an admin. This is clearly unacademic and biased behavior and is not going to help us create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, be part of a global community that will avoid bias and prejudice, and strive towards accuracy and verifiability in all its work, looking back at the Universal Code of Conduct.

A solution that would benefit the Zazaki Wiktionary and the Wikimedia project in general would first be to remove the indefinite block imposed on me and possibly other users targeted for the same/similar things. If he continues with the behavior or if his behavior is simply unacceptable in light of the Wikimedia principles, the best solution would be to remove his Sysop permissions.

=== Suggested solutions - [[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] ===
My actions should not be interpreted as either political or racist. My primary concern is to protect the project from individuals who do not speak Zazaki, given the years of work invested in it. Is everything to be undone, and the project ruined, just because of a single person? Those supporting Kurdanparez here are unfamiliar with the political realities concerning the Kurds and do not even know the difference between Kurdish and Zazaki. Or am I supposed to imply that Kurds are hiding behind these names? If I were to do that, I would immediately be accused of racism; the mere presentation of facts leads to instant condemnation. On top of that, I am accused of using AI, as if everyone else (like Kurdanparez) possessed innate, effortless wisdom in this age of technological capabilities. How can these supporters reconcile this with their consciences without doing their own research? Not to mention [https://diq.wiktionary.org/wiki/X%C4%B1susi:%C4%B0%C5%9Ft%C4%B1raki/Kurdanparez Kurdanparez’s track record] on the Zazaki Wiktionary compared to the long-standing contributions made by myself and other collaborators.
:I have already opened up access to [https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wer%C3%AAnay%C4%B1%C5%9F%C3%AA_karberi:Mirzali&diff=prev&oldid=87862 my talk page].
:Furthermore, I have [https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=X%C4%B1susi:Qeyd&logid=36239 removed the block] on Kurdanparez to give him a chance for positive, constructive collaboration; after all these years, I am tired of wasting my valuable time on pointless disputes.
I now look forward to a lenient and sensible decision. Warm regards to everyone! -- [[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] ([[User talk:Mirzali|talk]]) 18:32, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

===Other feedback (Guherto)===

Dear committee, I would like to add some more information regarding Mirzali's inappropriate conduct.

----

Exhibit A:

In 2021, shortly after diq.wiktionary was recently moved out of incubator, Mirzali [https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=X%C4%B1susi%3AQeyd&page=&subtype=&tagfilter=&type=delete&uselang=en&user=Mirzali&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist&wpdate=&dir=prev&offset=20210207031702%7C10785&limit=500&useskin=vector deleted thousands of pages and recreated many of them]. [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Xorasan?countsOnly=0 All pages (100%) created by user Xorasan were deleted], and many were recreated.

Among other edit summaries, hundreds of pages were deleted and recreated with the edit summary "Formato newe" (New format), which is IMO a red flag as format updates are usually made as edits, and this method that was used discredits the author and editors of the page. This points to intentionally obscuring and discrediting the original contributor of such pages. The argument of "New format" is further disproved in Exhibit B. In my experience, history alterations are only done to delete spam and profanities.

----

I have accessed an [https://archive.org/details/incubatorwiki-20210201 archived dump of Incubator Wiki] and found many contributors whose credits were deleted from the page history by the way of recreating the page.

Exhibit B, XTools "Pages Created" for various users '''on diq.wiktionary, not incubatorwiki, so these are not caused by the move out of incubator''', showing 100% deletion of all created pages:

* [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Xorasan?countsOnly=0 Xorasan]: 1165 pages (100%)
* [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Marmase?countsOnly=0 Marmase]: 868 (100%)
* [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Zazamental?countsOnly=0 Zazamental]: 422 (100%)
* [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Xoser~incubatorwiki?countsOnly=0 Xoser~incubatorwiki]: 440 (100%)
* [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Dokuz_sekiz?countsOnly=0 Dokuz sekiz]: 180 (100%)
* [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Buderan?countsOnly=0 Buderan]: 157 (100%)

I could go on and on, this is just a random sample of users. This is in stark contrast to the [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/diq.wiktionary.org/Mirzali?countsOnly=0 number of pages created by Mirzali that were deleted], which is just ''50''. Clearly, the reason is not "New format", as he does not seem to have done this recreation-history-obscuring process to pages made by him. All these users no longer contribute to diq.wiktionary, which might point to alienation carried through by Mirzali. Mirzali's number also proves that the 100% deletions are '''not''' caused by the import.

* {{ping|Mirzali}} The allegations made here are deeply concerning. I would also appreciate an explanation on why you revoked talk page access, which prevents an appeal, and why your local talk page on the project is locked to admins only, which prevents anyone asking about your admin actions. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 16:49, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

::I note that the filer, Kurdanparez, is not a Zaza speaker and has made no substantive contributions to the Zazaki Wiktionary beyond a handful of edits. He is a Kurdish nationalist activist who has no connection to the Zaza language community. His filing is not a good-faith report of misconduct; it is a retaliatory act following my rejection of his political interference in Zaza linguistic affairs.
::Kurdanparez was blocked for writing in Kurmanji Kurdish on a project whose sole purpose is the documentation and preservation of the Zaza language. The block comment was: "Tiya Zazaki nuşiyeno, Kurdki nê…" ("Here it is written in Zazaki, not Kurdish"). This is a basic content policy, not an act of discrimination. The Zazaki Wiktionary is not a platform for Kurdish nationalist activism, nor is it a place for Kurds to assert ownership over Zaza language resources.
::Kurdanparez selectively quotes my words to manufacture a harassment claim, while omitting that his original intervention was unsolicited and involved him attempting to dictate orthographic standards for a language that is not his own. His edits were not collaborative; they were an imposition. My response was not an attack on his ethnicity; it was a rejection of his claim to authority. There is a difference between saying "You are Kurdish, therefore you cannot speak for Zazas" and saying "You are Kurdish, therefore you are inferior." The former is a statement of standing; the latter would be harassment. I said the former.
::The UCOC does not require admins to tolerate bad-faith interference.
::The Universal Code of Conduct exists to protect projects from disruption, not to compel admins to accept political interference. Kurdanparez was not blocked for being Kurdish; he was blocked for acting as a Kurd who refused to acknowledge that Zaza is a distinct language with its own community. His continued insistence that he has a right to participate in Zaza linguistic governance is precisely the behavior that warranted the block.
::I revoked talk page access because the filer was using his talk page to continue the same political arguments that led to his block, rather than engaging constructively. There was no legitimate appeal to be made; he did not contest the content policy; he contested the legitimacy of Zaza self-determination. That is not an appeal; it is continued disruption.
::This is a technical measure to prevent off-topic political debates from being inserted into a project space that is meant for dictionary-building. It does not prevent users from contacting me on Meta or via other appropriate channels. If a Zaza speaker has a legitimate concern about an editorial decision, I am accessible. If a Kurd wants to lecture me about my own language, I am not obligated to provide a platform for that.
::This case is without merit. It is a vexatious filing by a user who was rightfully blocked for violating the basic content policy of the Zazaki Wiktionary. I request that the U4C dismiss this case and, if appropriate, consider restrictions on Kurdanparez to prevent further misuse of Wikimedia dispute resolution mechanisms to advance a political agenda. -- [[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] ([[User talk:Mirzali|talk]]) 22:15, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] "I revoked talk page access because the filer was using his talk page to continue the same political arguments that led to his block" – No, the filer has never edited their talk page. It was never even created [https://diq.wiktionary.org/wiki/X%C4%B1susi:Qeyd?type=&user=&page=Wer%C3%AAnay%C4%B1%C5%9F%C3%AA+karberi%253AKurdanparez&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%255B%255D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist]. I note that it looks like some parts of your message were written by AI (a large-language model); AI sometimes adds factual errors to text and I strongly suggest not using it for anything other than translation.
:::Your stated reason for protecting your own talk pages is inappropriate. Editors should not be expected to go to ''another project'' to reach you. There is a link to your talk page in page histories ("werênayış"), in links to old revisions, and even in your signature ("mesac"). That link needs to let people contact you.
:::More broadly, I am concerned by your views of the Zazaki Wiktionary as a project. Claims such as "political interference in Zaza linguistic affairs" imply that the Zazaki Wiktionary is itself a Zaza political project, rather than simply a collaborative online dictionary. Wiktionaries generally aim to define words in all languages in the language of the project. For example, the English Wiktionary also has entries for German words. Without specific evidence of "political interference" and a very limited ability to machine-translate the Zaza language, all I can see is that Kurdanparez added entries for Kurdish words to the Zazaki Wiktionary [https://diq.wiktionary.org/wiki/X%C4%B1susi:%C4%B0%C5%9Ft%C4%B1raki/Kurdanparez]. Please provide evidence to support your accusations. '''[[User:Toadspike|Toadspike]] [[User talk:Toadspike|[Talk]]]''' 07:22, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
::::I agree with Toadspike and EggRoll97.
::::Mirzali cannot speculate on my political ideology without evidence. Though I am Kurdish, it does not mean that my edits are founded on Kurdish nationalism. I have always confined myself to proper sourcing and documentation in my main-space editing. For example:
::::[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:zza-conj-verb See the Zazaki conjugation page on English Wiktionary]
::::[https://ku.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C5%9Eablon:zza-tew%C3%AEn-lk See the Zazaki conjugation page on Kurmanji Wiktionary]
::::Though I am not an "absolute" expert of Zazaki, I do have knowledge of Zazaki grammar and access a wide variety of literature on this that could help the Wiki-projects. Furthermore, I have repeatedly been open for collaboration on Zazaki topics with people regardless of their political beliefs, as I prefer to value the quality of edits.
:::: Mentioning orthographic standards in the English Wiktionary was again based on a variety of sources, and even here I acknowledged the politically sensitive nature of this:
::::[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Zazaki_entry_guidelines#c-Kurdanparez-20260707030800-Normalizing_one_alphabet_over_the_other? See here, if you want]
::::I have not, as far as I know, contacted Mirzali on his talk page before. He says:
::::*'' "This is a technical measure ... It does not prevent users from contacting me on Meta or via other appropriate channels"''
::::I think the most appropriate channel is Wiktionary. We cannot compromise on the right to privacy in the Wiki-projects.
::::Now, he is continuing to communicate without evidence here. He is accusing me of disruption, not engaging constructively, "misusing" this channel of communication (where else should I communicate?), and as a Kurd "asserting ownership over Zaza language resources". This is genuinely shocking to stand witness to.
::::Furthermore, he is again being blatantly racist, as I understand it:
::::* ''"If a Kurd wants to lecture me about my own language, I am not obligated to provide a platform for that."''
::::I do not know how you, the Wikimedia team, understand it, it may be understood differently, but I am genuinely shocked to hear that he seemingly continues the same negative discourse.
::::He is launching attacks against my name. This may affect peoples' willingness and trust in working with me, where I am reminded of past conversations: [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Zazaki_entry_guidelines#c-Vahagn_Petrosyan-20260707101500-Kurdanparez-20260707030800 See here]. If it is possible and appropriate with the admin team, addressing this problem as well and finding a solution to it would be highly appreciated. I don't know if you can enforce an apology. This specific thing is, however, of course secondary to the main issue.
::::I would like to sincerely thank the Wikimedia team for their efforts. I appreciate you for taking the time to read about these issues. [[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]] ([[User talk:Kurdanparez|talk]]) 07:53, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::Just so we are all on the same level, I would just like to note that the block was imposed on me June 30, 2026, and the English Wiktionary discussion started July 7.
:::::He also reverted (most of) my Zazaki Wiktionary edits where I added an adjectival inflection template for Kurmanji words, as well as IPA. He deleted them without any caption as well (the intention is probably clear enough already):
:::::[https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=bilind&diff=prev&oldid=87522 Here, for adj. “bilind”]
:::::[https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=tir%C5%9F&diff=prev&oldid=87523 Here for adj. “tirş”]
:::::The edits were done June 29 in the interval of 23:30-45 GMT (11:30-45 PM) GMT, the indefinite block was imposed June 30 at 9:49 (AM) GMT. The reverts were done shortly after the indefinite block. [[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]] ([[User talk:Kurdanparez|talk]]) 20:04, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
:::::And just the last note… he is definitely using AI in the discussion, per @[[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]]. Looking at his diffs, he has made two edits where he edits em-dashes “—“ away from his initial comment:
:::::[https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Cases/2026/Sysop_abuse_on_Zazaki_Wiktionary&diff=prev&oldid=30869375 Here]

:::::It’s unfortunate that em-dashes are now stigmatized in writing, but it makes me curious why you would edit them away if you truly wrote it yourself. [[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]] ([[User talk:Kurdanparez|talk]]) 20:17, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
::::::{{ping|Toadspike}}, {{ping|Kurdanparez}} and {{ping|U4C}} I acknowledge that I was mistaken about the filer having used the talk page. I have since reopened access to my local talk page, as noted. This matter is now resolved. The block was not based on talk page behavior, it was based on mainspace disruption. The talk page restriction was a secondary measure that I have already corrected.
::::::My statements are my own. Whether I use tools to assist with phrasing in a language that is not my primary one is irrelevant to the substance of this case. The U4C exists to adjudicate conduct, not to police writing style. This line of argument is a distraction.
::::::Toadspike suggests that I view the Zazaki Wiktionary as a "political project." This misrepresents my position. The Zazaki Wiktionary is a linguistic documentation project for the Zazaki language. That is precisely why it must be protected from users who treat it as a platform for Kurdish linguistic expansionism. There is nothing "political" about insisting that a Zazaki dictionary contain Zazaki content, that is the core mission.
::::::Kurdanparez claims he has only added "Zazaki" content. This is not accurate. He added entries that are Kurmanji Kurdish to the Zazaki Wiktionary. He did this not out of genuine interest in Zazaki lexicography, but because he operates from the premise that Zazaki is a dialect of Kurdish, a premise I reject, and which is linguistically false. His own words in earlier discussions reveal this: he argued for the Vate alphabet because it aligns with Kurdish orthographic norms, and he framed Zazaki as falling under a Kurdish cultural umbrella.
::::::That is not "collaboration." That is erasure through inclusion, the classic assimilationist tactic of absorbing a distinct language into a larger nationalist framework. I do not need to "prove" his political ideology; his actions speak for themselves.
::::::Kurdanparez claims I am being "blatantly racist" by stating that Kurds have no authority over Zazaki. This is a deliberate misreading. Refusing to accept Kurdish authority over Zazaki affairs is not racism, it is self-determination. I have never attacked Kurds as a people. I have rejected one Kurd's claim to speak for my language. These are not the same thing.
::::::If a non-Zaza contributes constructively to the Zazaki Wiktionary, by adding accurate Zazaki entries, citing sources, or improving formatting, they are welcome. If a non-Zaza insists that Zazaki is Kurdish and that Zazas must write in a Kurdish-approved alphabet, they are not contributing; they are colonizing. That is the distinction Kurdanparez refuses to acknowledge.
::::::Kurdanparez did not come to the Zazaki Wiktionary to build. He came to argue. He was blocked for disruption. He then escalated to Meta. He is not here to collaborate, he is here to win a political argument. That is evident from the fact that he continues to frame this as a "racism" issue rather than addressing the substantive point: Zazaki is not Kurdish, and the Zazaki Wiktionary is not a Kurdish project.
::::::I ask the U4C to:
::::::1.Dismiss this case as a vexatious filing by a user who was blocked for content policy violations.
::::::2.Recognize that the Zazaki Wiktionary, like all Wikimedia projects, has the right to define its own scope and content boundaries.
::::::3.Affirm that an admin is not obligated to tolerate disruptive editing from users who reject the fundamental purpose of a project.
::::::I have already corrected the talk page issue. There is nothing left to resolve. I request that this case be closed. -- [[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] ([[User talk:Mirzali|talk]]) 20:29, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

::[Edits from original comment in brackets. Addressing Vuzorg's comment to Guherto's point:] While we are going way out of bounds of this discussion and are falling into internal Wiki discussion, I would just like to note that [Edit: Vuzorg] [has] made this “error” [himself] in the page [[https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%C5%9Fiyayen%C4%B1&oldid=85675532 şiyayenı]] where the infinitive is normally transscribed as “-ene” (in the Zazaki Wiktionary as well & in some cases “-îş”/“-iş”).

:::Let me ping @[[User:Toadspike|Toadspike]] and the latest active admin @[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]].

:As an user, I have been showing forbearance toward Kurdanparez for a long time, even though I knew it would be a waste of time and despite their personal attacks since the beginning, I have chosen to engage with Kurdanparez's "arguments" rather than reporting their conduct, in hopes of maintaining a constructive dialogue [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Vuzorg#Note read here].

:::I would just like to note that Vuzorg's statements do not touch the subject matter at hand, and I do not think we should twist the discussion into something "about me". As you can see, Mirzali's reasoning for the block was based on edits in Kurmanji and accusations of me being a Kurdish nationalist who has nothing to do with Zazas. This was an arbitrary decision that violates UCoC as stated above.
:::'''Firstly, you are grossly mischaracterizing my actions. '''
:::This issue has been resolved on the English Wikipedia, where you filed a complaint about my pattern of behavior (do not claim that you have not reported my conduct) largely identical to what you mentioned here. I was only blocked for 31 hours due to the English Wikipedia policy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1230#h-User:_Kurdanparez,_problematic_and_disruptive_behavioral_patterns,_the_spread_of-20260726153000 see here] due to ECR restrictions on the topic of Kurds/Kurdistan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Contentious_topics/list see here], not due to harassment etc. I have since respected the decision and I am not engaging in Kurdish topics on Wikipedia until I have authorization to do so. This, however, does not have any relevance to my engagement in Kurdish and related topics in other Wiki-projects, unless the other Wiki-projects have a similar ECR-policy.
::: If the admins wish to get an explanation of my statements, I will gladly tell all the necessary details.
:::'''Secondly, when referencing diffs, I recommend noting the entire discussion.'''
:::Vuzorg mentions "passive-aggressive digs" at the admin Vahag Petrosyan, mentioning an older diff, missing the fact that we landed on a compromise I accepted. [https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary_talk:Zazaki_entry_guidelines&oldid=91566048 See here]
:::'''Lastly, do not make baseless allegations.'''
:::For example, ''"They also lack any proficiency in Zaza, doing more harm than good to the projects"''. How would you know this? As a note: I have actively contributed to Zazaki in the English and Kurmanji Wiktionary, especially conjugation tables and other details. The link is above.
:::'''''I have strong suspicion to believe that these statements are retaliatory after an English Wiktionary discussion about the Zaza-Gorani languages between me, Vuzorg, Victar and Chuck Entz, where Vuzorg again mentioned personal attacks in a discussion about linguistic literature: [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Language_treatment_requests#c-Kurdanparez-20260801233100-Vuzorg-20260801223400 You are welcome to review the discussion]''''' [[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]] ([[User talk:Kurdanparez|talk]]) 00:02, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

::::'''They also lack any proficiency in Zaza, doing more harm than good to the projects. How would you know this?'''
::::My answer: As seen in our discussions, especially the one on Wikipedia, I have repeatedly refuted your groundless claims about Zaza and Northwestern Iranian languages. These are your own words, what you told me: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKurdanparez&diff=1359921331&oldid=1359843926 '''And considering linguistics, which you seem to be very knowledgeable''' about with your input of sources...]. If I am very knowledgeable in linguistics, I wholeheartedly say that I absolutely do not believe that you have a command of Zaza. I strongly doubt that you are fluent in Zaza.
::::This one is your sentece too, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AKurdanparez&diff=1360048382&oldid=1360041835 So even if Zazaki demonstrates linguistic similarity with Caspian languages (which doesn’t even amount to mutual intelligbility, really), it doesn’t make the language less Kurdish.] Is this how you contribute to Zaza, by taking such an ideological approach?
::::You do remember how I refuted all your arguments, right? Would you like to explain all us why did you get blocked on Kurds/Kurdistan topics on English Wikipedia? Could it be for ruining those articles, could it be because you removed well-sourced content from a bunch of articles for no reason? Or could it be that all of the sources you removed were actually demonstrating that Zaza is not Kurdish? Shall I share the diffs? I, HistoryofIran, Mirzali, Asmen, the admin blocked you on Wikipedia, Vahagn Petrosyan, six different users who warned you about your Kurdification activities, are we all wrong, and you are the only one who is right? Why don't you prove your claims about Zaza on other projects to all of us here, your claim that "from a purely linguistic perspective, no, Zaza is not a dialect of Kurdish, but a Kurdish language"? Why don't you present to us which linguistic criteria classify Zaza within Kurdish, and exactly how and in what way they do so?
::::Do you remember what I have said to you? As long as you fail to provide evidence to back up your claims regarding linguistics, Zazas, and Iranian languages, and to debunk ours, stop twisting the topics and accusing other users of anti-Kurdish sentiment, White, etc...

Hello. I am an administrator on the Zazaki Wikipedia and have been active in Zaza Wikimedia projects since their early days and I'm also a linguist of the Zaza-Language. I have known Mirzali for many years and have worked alongside him in building Zazaki language resources online. I am writing to express my strong support for Mirzali and to request that this case be closed without further action.
The filer, Kurdanparez, has made minimal substantive contributions to the Zazaki Wiktionary. His edits consist primarily of inserting content that is, in reality, Kurmanji Kurdish, not Zazaki, into a project explicitly dedicated to documenting the Zazaki language. When Mirzali rightfully reverted these edits and blocked the user for persistent disruption, Kurdanparez escalated to Meta rather than addressing the actual content issue.
This is not a case of "sysop abuse." This is a case of a user who refuses to accept that Zazaki is a distinct language and that the Zazaki Wiktionary is not a Kurdish project.
Some may argue that we should ignore identity politics and focus solely on "neutral" content. But we cannot ignore the reality that Kurds and particularly Kurdish nationalists have systematically attempted to absorb Zazaki language and culture for decades. This is not speculation; it is documented history. The insistence that Zazaki is a "dialect of Kurdish" is a political claim, not a linguistic one. Linguists classify Zazaki as a distinct Northwestern Iranian language.
Mirzali has been on the front lines of this battle since 2006. He has endured endless arguments, personal attacks, and now a formal Wikimedia case, all because he refuses to allow our language to be treated as a sub-branch of Kurdish. The fact that he is being dragged before the U4C for defending the integrity of his own project is deeply unjust.
Kurdanparez claims to be a neutral editor, but his own words reveal otherwise. His previous advocacy for the Vate alphabet was explicitly linked to Kurdish orthographic norms. He has repeatedly framed Zazaki as falling under Kurdish cultural and linguistic authority. This is not collaboration, it is cultural encroachment.
When Mirzali blocked him, Kurdanparez did not appeal on content grounds. He did not say, "Here is evidence that my entries were valid Zazaki." He went straight to Meta and accused Mirzali of "racism." This is a classic bad-faith tactic: when you cannot win on substance, accuse your opponent of prejudice.
The block was proportionate. The filer was warned repeatedly and continued to add non-Zazaki content. The talk page restriction was a temporary measure that Mirzali has since reversed. There is no pattern of abuse, no history of indiscriminate blocks, and no evidence that Mirzali targets Kurds or anyone else unfairly. He defends the Zazaki Wiktionary against disruption, that is his job.
The U4C was established to address genuine misconduct, not to adjudicate political disputes between ethnic groups. This case has no merit. It is a vexatious filing by a user who was rightfully blocked and who is now using Wikimedia's dispute resolution mechanisms to harass an admin who stood up to him.
I urge the committee to dismiss this case and to consider warning Kurdanparez against further misuse of these processes. The Zazaki Wiktionary is a small, fragile project. It does not need to be burdened with frivolous cases brought by outsiders who have no respect for its mission.
Thank you for your time. --asmên 10:07, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
:I have critiques of these points, if it is okay:

* Asmên says: "His edits consist primarily of inserting content that is, in reality, Kurmanji Kurdish, not Zazaki, into a project explicitly dedicated to documenting the Zazaki language.
** Where is this "explicitly" mentioned? When you say explicitly, you imply that this is clearly mentioned somewhere. This requires documentation, and it doesn't explain the fact that entries for Kurmanji exist, supposing that the Wiktionary "explicitly" is dedicated only to the Zazaki language. Furthermore, you talk about "edits". I've not made more than 10 edits, and most of these edits were minor ones.

* "Kurdanparez escalated to Meta rather than addressing the actual content issue."
** As is now obvious, Mirzali provided NO (with capital letters) pathway for me to dispute the block. Furthermore, you assume I did this in bad faith without definitive evidence.

* "This is a case of a user who refuses to accept that Zazaki is a distinct language and that the Zazaki Wiktionary is not a Kurdish project."
** First and foremost, though this is not relevant at all to the topic, you have no evidence that I have said that Zazaki is not a (distinct) language,. Furthermore, it worries me that your adminship is based on your insistence that the Zazaki Wikipedia should be based on these assumptions. Whether this is correct or not is a matter that can be resolved based on internal collaboration, not as a principle in the foundation of a Wiki-project. I recommend seeing UCoC 2.1: "Listen and try to understand what Wikimedians of different backgrounds want to tell you. Be ready to challenge and adapt your own understanding, expectations and behaviour as a Wikimedian."

* "The fact that he is being dragged before the U4C for defending the integrity of his own project is deeply unjust."
** He is being "dragged" before the U4C because he is violating the Universal Code of Conduct and arbitrarily deciding on indefinite bans without any possibility to dispute this. It seems like a documentable pattern of behavior based upon ideological bias.

* "and now a formal Wikimedia case, all because he refuses to allow our language to be treated as a sub-branch of Kurdish."
** You, yourself attest to Mirzali being ideological biased. I don't believe this is okay at all.

* "His previous advocacy for the Vate alphabet was explicitly linked to Kurdish orthographic norms. He has repeatedly framed Zazaki as falling under Kurdish cultural and linguistic authority. This is not collaboration, it is cultural encroachment."
** This is not relevant to my behavior in the Zazaki Wiktionary. I've conformed to the orthographic standards in the Zazaki Wiktionary. Furthermore, critiquing the usage of a certain orthographic standard, especially when based upon sourcing, never alone warrants an indefinite block. Your argument is furthermore based upon a different Wiki-project, the English Wiktionary. If this behavior was problematic, I would be an internal issue in the English Wiktionary, and I would have been consulted on this issue. I have not yet, as far as I know, been consulted about problematic behavior. '''Anyway, this case centers around Mirzali's adminship.'''

* "He did not say, "Here is evidence that my entries were valid Zazaki." He went straight to Meta and accused Mirzali of "racism.""
** See my earlier point, I had no opportunity to say anything to Mirzali. Mirzali explicitly doesn't want to talk to me either. The primary issue of Mirzali is not racism, it is the violation of UCoC, with one of the factors being that he explicitly subjects Kurds to another standard, which is the definition of discrimination, whether or not it can be categorized as racism.

* "The block was proportionate. The filer was warned repeatedly and continued to add non-Zazaki content."
** Uh... where?

The rest of the points I won't address. These are mostly about the categorization of Zazaki in relationship to Kurdish, which is an internal Wiki-project matter that doesn't seem appropriate to resolve in this committee regarding UCoC. I don't know where the source of information from Asmên comes from about me being warned. --[[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]] ([[User talk:Kurdanparez|talk]]) 10:35, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Statement on the Zazaki Wiktionary Dispute: A Linguistic and Historical Perspective

Submitted for consideration by the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)

1. Linguistic Reality: Zazaki as a Distinct Northwestern Iranian Language

The core of this dispute is not a matter of opinion, identity politics, or cultural sentiment—it is a question of established linguistic science.

International linguistic authorities—including Ethnologue, Glottolog, and the Linguist List—classify Zazaki as an independent Northwestern Iranian language, separate from Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish) and Sorani (Central Kurdish). This classification is based on fundamental structural differences in phonology, morphology, syntax, and core vocabulary. Zazaki and Kurmanji, while sharing a common ancestral root, belong to different branches of the Iranian language family (Zaza–Gorani vs. Kurmanci) and exhibit low mutual intelligibility.

To frame Zazaki as a "dialect of Kurdish" is a political claim, not a linguistic one. It disregards decades of peer-reviewed research and ignores the internal diversity of the Zaza–Gorani group. The insistence on such a classification, particularly within a project dedicated to documenting Zazaki, constitutes a form of linguistic erasure—a documented historical phenomenon whereby larger ethno-linguistic groups absorb smaller ones through cultural and discursive domination.

---

2. Project Integrity and Administrative Responsibility

The Zazaki Wiktionary (Zazaki Wikiferheng) is, by its very name and founding purpose, a project dedicated to the documentation and preservation of the Zazaki language. This is not a "secret" or "unstated" policy; it is the explicit raison d'être of the project.

In this context, administrative action to remove content that does not belong to the project's defined linguistic scope is not only permissible but obligatory. When a user persistently inserts Kurmanji content into a Zazaki resource, they are not making a "neutral" contribution—they are compromising the project's structural integrity. For a small, fragile project with limited editorial oversight, such boundary violations pose an existential threat.

The blocking of Kurdanparez by Mirzali must be understood in this light. The block was not an act of personal hostility, nor was it driven by ethnic prejudice. It was a proportionate response to repeated content violations that undermined the project's core mission. The claim that Mirzali acted without providing a path for appeal is contested; however, the record shows that Kurdanparez did not pursue local dispute resolution but instead escalated directly to Meta, framing a content dispute as a case of systemic abuse.

---

3. The Misuse of "Ideology" Accusations

Kurdanparez has characterized Mirzali's position as "ideologically biased." This argument is untenable. Defending a scientific fact—that Zazaki is a distinct language—is not ideology; it is adherence to scholarly consensus. Accusing a linguist and project founder of "bias" for upholding this consensus is a rhetorical tactic that conflates evidence-based advocacy with partisanship.

Furthermore, the historical and ethnographic record supports the distinctiveness of the Zaza people. Genetic, archaeological, and historical studies indicate that the Zaza have separate ethnogenetic origins from the Kurds, with distinct migration patterns and cultural trajectories. To assert this distinctiveness is not an act of division; it is an act of historical accuracy. The attempt to subsume Zaza identity and language under a Kurdish framework is not collaboration—it is a form of cultural encroachment that has been documented in the region for decades.

Mirzali, who has been active in building Zazaki digital resources since 2006, has endured persistent personal attacks, ideological pressure, and now a formal Wikimedia case—all because he refuses to allow the language he works to preserve to be treated as a subordinate branch of another. This is not abuse of power; this is the defense of a minority language against systemic assimilationist pressures.

---

4. Content vs. Conduct: The U4C's Proper Jurisdiction

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) exists to address harassment, discrimination, threats, and severe misconduct—not to arbitrate content disputes or settle linguistic disagreements. The matter before this committee is, at its heart, a content dispute masquerading as a conduct complaint.

Kurdanparez's edits, while few in number, were structurally problematic. The administration responded with a block. The proper venue for challenging such a block is local appeal or, failing that, the relevant Wikimedia channels for reviewing administrative action—not the U4C, which is designed for cases of systemic abuse, not isolated administrative decisions in small projects.

The accusation of "discrimination" or "racism" is unsupported by evidence. There is no pattern of Mirzali targeting Kurdish editors or acting with ethnic bias. There is, however, a clear pattern of a user who rejects the foundational purpose of a project and frames the consequences of that rejection as persecution.

---

5. Conclusion and Recommendation

This case is without merit. It represents a vexatious use of Wikimedia's dispute resolution mechanisms to harass an administrator who acted in good faith to protect the linguistic integrity of a small, vulnerable project.

The U4C should:

1. Dismiss this case with prejudice, as it does not fall within the committee's mandate.
2. Affirm that administrators are not obligated to tolerate disruptive editing from users who reject the fundamental purpose of a project.
3. Consider a warning to Kurdanparez against further misuse of global dispute resolution processes for content disagreements.

The Zazaki Wiktionary is a rare and valuable digital repository for a language with a limited speaker base. It deserves protection, not prosecution. Mirzali has demonstrated, over nearly two decades, a consistent commitment to that protection. The committee has the opportunity to reaffirm that Wikimedia projects are built on respect for factual reality and linguistic diversity—not on the erasure of minority identities through procedural harassment.

As a former admin, I know, without a doubt, that Xorasan, Marmase, and Zazamental are definitely Erdemaslancan's sockpuppets.
:Furthermore, almost all of these deleted pages, Xorasan 1165 pages (100%), Marmase: 868 (100%), Zazamental: 422 (100%), Xoser~incubatorwiki: 440 (100%), Dokuz sekiz: 180 (100%), Buderan: 157 (100%), are grammatically incorrect. If you notice, the grammar matches perfectly across all the verb pages created by the 6 accounts whose articles were deleted. In all verbs, the infinitive ends with a common pattern (''-yen, -den, ten''), which is not the rule for forming verbs correctly in Zaza. Even someone with a very basic level of Zaza can understand that the articles created by these 6 accounts (which are actually sockpuppets of a single account) are grammatically flawed. I do not think it is wrong to delete grammatically incorrect pages created by the sockpuppets of a single account to maintain the standard.

::'''Your reply is a non-answer.''' None of what you said addressed license violations or discrediting, which were my '''main concerns'''. I have not claimed solely the deletion to be problematic, rather, deletion-recreation which deleted history ''yet retained CC BY-SA-copyrighted content''. Although, the mass-deletions themselves could also be problematic not only as part of the discrediting. I shall '''not engage''' in your discussion of grammar, as it is wholly irrelevant and sways the discussion. Incorrect grammar (alleged) or sockpuppetry (alleged) do not give one the right to violate licenses nor discredit. And many, perhaps most, of the pages were recreated, in which case "incorrect grammar" is not even true (E.g. Exhibit C). I do not find your reply to be constructive at all, just addressing irrelevant things instead of even ''mentioning'' the '''main concern'''.

:::Using incorrect grammar and sockpuppet accounts are not alleged. As anyone can see and check from the links I shared in my previous answer, Xorasan, Marmase etc. are blocked for sockpuppetry. I said almost all, not all of the content was gramatically incorrect. Most of the accounts [https://diq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategoriye:Karber%C3%AA_k%C4%B1litbiyaey here], including Marmase, Xorasan etc. are blocked for using sockpuppets. You say, "this method that was used discredits the author and editors of the page. This points to intentionally obscuring and discrediting the original contributor of such pages." But already the the original contributor of those pages are sockpuppets, are sockpuppet accounts blocked for using multiple Wiki projects in a disruptive way. What does a user with multiple sockpuppets creating grammatically incorrect pages and disruptive behaviour have to do with discrediting an honest user? The user is already using the system in a disruptive way. "I do not find your reply to be "constructive" at all.", are you sure you are the who decides this?

:::The grammatical gender forms of Old Iranian, except for the neuter form, remain largely the same in the Zaza language (Selcan 2011: 124–125) and Zaza is one of the Western Iranian languages where grammatical gender is most robustly preserved (Windfuhr 1989: 258), similar to Tati, Semmnani and Central Iranian dialects (Lecoq, 1989; 301-318; Keskin, 2015: 100, 106; Hassanzadeh-Nodehi, 2025: 2-3; Borjian, 2012: 42). The feminine suffix is present throughout the entire morphology of Zaza, including the infinitive and in Zaza, the feminine suffix of Old Iranian /-ā/ remained as the unstressed suffix /-e/ [-ə] in the northern dialect and as /-ı/ in the southern dialect of Zaza (Brigitte, 2012: 421; Selcan 2011: 125), e.g. şiyayen'''e''', şiyayen'''ı'''; but not as vıcyaye'''n''' or esterye'''n''', where the grammatically required feminine suffix is omitted, as those sockpuppet accounts did. Thus, there is no grammatically invalid point in my edit. Mirzali's style may be somewhat harsh however, considering the examples I presented via the diff links on the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Cases/2026/Sysop_abuse_on_Zazaki_Wiktionary|discussion page] and together with their unfamiliarity with Zaza grammar as demonstrated in their most recent answer, it is evident that Kurdanparez lacks a full command of the Zaza language to conrtibute in a helpful way and they are not entirely irreproachable.

The accusations made by the user [[Kurdanparez]] against our Zazaki Wikipedia sysop, **Mirzali**, are unfounded and unacceptable. Unfortunately, Kurdanparez gives the impression of pursuing negative motives. Not only does he lack sufficient command of the Zaza language, but he has also, out of personal animosity, made defamatory accusations against our administrator, who has been the most active contributor on the Zazaki Wikipedia since its foundation and continues to work on it every single day. This is deeply disappointing to us.

As both [[Vuzorg]] and I have pointed out, he has unfortunately displayed similarly negative behavior in the past. We have always supported dialogue and peaceful solutions.

The foremost requirement for writing articles or contributing to the Zazaki Wikipedia is a solid command of the Zaza language. To date, no one has contributed to maintaining and developing the Zazaki Wikipedia to the extent that our colleague Mirzali has. In this respect, his contribution is invaluable and cannot easily be replaced. --[[Asmen]] 10:01, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Lado85|Lado85]]) ===
Hi, admin ([https://ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/მომხმარებელი:Mehman Mehman]) on Georgian Wiki blocked me for adding correct information on two pages:
# Georgian Super Cup Article - another user changed information about Current champions andMost championships winner. I reverted it to correct information (Current champions - Torpedo Kutaisi and Most Championships winner - Dinamo Tbilisi). There are multiple sources for this information. He removes my edits, because "he do not trust me". He said this himself.
# On Commonwealth of Independent States article I added information about Ukraine newer was a member of CIS, because never ratified the CIS Charter, so never became a member state.
He banned me for a year without any reason. I opened block removing request on my talk page 10 days ago, but admins are ignoring it. I can't wrote any admin directly.

=== Previous attempts at a solution - [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ===
Hello. Although I don't believe this case falls under the UCoC or that there was a violation, I will briefly outline the issue and explain why the user was blocked.

First, we don't have a specific policy regarding block durations, so each admin decides on the duration at their discretion; however, we are currently working on drafting such a policy.

As for the specific block, it was not imposed spontaneously or without warning. The block resulted from the user failing to follow Wikipedia's rules and engaging in an edit war. If we look at the two points on which the user is complaining about me, the situation is as follows:

*Georgian Super Cup Article: the user [https://ka.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E1%83%A1%E1%83%90%E1%83%A5%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%95%E1%83%94%E1%83%9A%E1%83%9D%E1%83%A1_%E1%83%A1%E1%83%90%E1%83%A4%E1%83%94%E1%83%AE%E1%83%91%E1%83%A3%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%9D_%E1%83%A1%E1%83%A3%E1%83%9E%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%90%E1%83%A1%E1%83%98&diff=prev&oldid=5453748 reverted an edit] without providing a reason, altered the article text, and cited a non-functional source. Because the source was not working, I couldn't verify the authenticity of the text. So, I would place more trust in a user with "autopatrolled" status and a working source than in a user lacking such privileges and a valid source. I also reverted Lado85's edit without stating a reason, as Georgian Wikipedia [[:ka:ვიკიპედია:რეზიუმე|rules]] don't require one for such actions. Furthermore, the edit I made was to undo what I considered to be vandalism.
*As for the CIS: the language used in the text was unnatural for Georgian, and it appears the user does not have full command of the language; their contribution history suggests a better grasp of Russian than Georgian. I replaced the text with more natural Georgian, formatted it according to Georgian WP guidelines, and aligned the layout with that of the English Wikipedia. I provided specific information noting that Ukraine is not a member of the organization in a footnote. However, the user evidently took issue with this and initiated an edit war, [https://ka.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E1%83%9B%E1%83%9D%E1%83%9B%E1%83%AE%E1%83%9B%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%94%E1%83%91%E1%83%9A%E1%83%98%E1%83%A1_%E1%83%92%E1%83%90%E1%83%9C%E1%83%AE%E1%83%98%E1%83%9A%E1%83%95%E1%83%90:Mehman&diff=prev&oldid=5453762 despite my warnings against doing so] and my pointing out their lack of language proficiency and failure to grasp the meaning of the word "member" in this context.

In my view, the user doesn't have a full command of the language, which hinders their ability to contribute to the Georgian Wikipedia—yet they refuse to acknowledge this; instead, they lash out at other users and engage in edit wars. I believe that blocking the user for a year is an appropriate measure.

=== Suggested solutions - [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ===
The user has posted a request for unblocking on their talk page. Other admins must review this request and decide. If they decide to unblock the user, they will do so; otherwise, the user must wait for the block to expire, just like anyone else.

''For people who are not parties, the following rules apply:
*Comments/replies may not be longer than 500 words and may not include more than 25 diffs/links. The U4C may, if asked, grant additional words or diffs/links.

===Other feedback (TheJoyfulTentmaker)===
I don't have direct information about the case or the parties beyond what is written on this page, but as a global community member I am concerned and felt the need to share my thoughts. I believe the admin conduct we see here, in general, might not be compliant with UCoC section 2.2 (i.e. the principles about mutual support, good citizenship, mentorship and coaching), and this is even more concerning when the admin is a very senior member of the Wikimedia movement. I also believe that disproportionate sanctions violate the Enforcement Guidelines, which says {{tqq|outcomes shall be proportional to the severity of the violation}}, if we consider this sanction as a local UCoC enforcement, and the block duration, even after it was revised, still appears to be too long for what seems to be a simple content dispute.
I also find it concerning that an obvious typo in the URL was used to disqualify a reference as a non-working link, that somewhat non-constructive comments were made about the filer's language proficiency, and that the lack of the autopatrol privilege appears to have been used against the user during a content dispute, even though it seems unrelated to the dispute itself. This is all based on my initial, quick reading of the case, and I acknowledge that I might be missing some context. However, I felt the need to express how the situation looks at first glance from the outside. I hope this feedback will be considered constructive.

==U4C decision==
''Only U4C members may edit in this section.''

===U4C member discussion===
* Just to formalize some things I've stated privately, the block length here seems fairly long in general, especially given the last block was 3 days long, 6 years ago. The unblock request itself doesn't seem to have taken that long (10 days isn't terribly long for a wiki with 5 admins), but [[ka:მომხმარებლის_განხილვა:RiadS99]] has also been open for 134 days, which is definitely far too long for an appeal to be waiting. I would like to see kawiki resolve these matters without a case, but because of these popping up, I think a case may be the practical way to resolve this, possibly via an expedited proceeding per 4.2.2.2 of the charter. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 19:40, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
* I am leaning to accept because I see some possible improper/excessive use of admin tools and some processes have margin of improvement (mainly block policy and appeal process) where I think we can give some useful advice. --[[User:Civvì|Civvì]] ([[User talk:Civvì|talk]]) 08:14, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

===Accept votes===
* I'm leaning towards accepting, even if somewhat weakly. Even if I don't think there are any ''clear-cut'' UCoC violations, having looked through the case and some other circumstances, I do see a pattern of unclearly justified blocks and unattended unblock requests. Regardless of whether or not the blocks are correct, one should in principle have a right to appeal, and I think we are at a point where locally blocked users don't seem to properly have that. The response above, as already noted by EggRoll, was also somewhat unconvincing to me and did not really explain the issues in the way I would have desired. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 19:32, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, though not without hesitation. I don’t think the block itself is a clear-cut UCoC violation, and if this were only about whether Lado85’s edits merited a year off, I’d say decline and let kawiki sort it out. What tips me over is the appeals situation. An unblock request sitting unanswered for 11 days is tolerable on a wiki with five admins; one sitting for over 130 days is not. Add to that a block that jumped from three days (in 2018) straight to a year, with no duration policy behind it, and a reduction logged with no new rationale, and I’m left doubting that blocked users on kawiki have a meaningful right of appeal at all. [[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 20:32, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, the reasons why the user was blocked are not completely clear to me. The lack of a blocking policy defining block durations, the absence of previous warnings (at least I don't find any on the user's talk page), some issues with the appeal process and red links in the specific blocking reasons (and in the dropdown list) lead me to believe that further analysis is necessary to determine how we can help to make sure that the EG requirements are met. --[[User:Civvì|Civvì]] ([[User talk:Civvì|talk]]) 16:56, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

* Accept, weakly - I am not quite convinced by the reasons given for blocking and the appeals process appears to need some review. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 17:03, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, ''extremely weakly''. I do not think we should focus on the specific block of Lado, and frankly I think we should remove Lado as a party, other than as the technical filer who brought this case. What we should focus on is that there are unblock requests waiting over 130 days for a response. The appeals process is not ideal, and a blocked user should not need to bring their block to the U4C to get a review faster than 130 days. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 20:03, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

* Initially I was more inclined not to accept, but accepting it because the block appeal process does not seem to be working as it should. It might be worth looking into. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 14:22, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

===Decline votes===
* <s>While it's slightly disturbing conduct overall, and certainly not admin behavior (blocking over basically a content dispute) that I would endorse, I also do not see a UCoC violation here. An appeal resulted in another admin shifting the block to 6 months from a year. I am thus convinced that a neutral admin has reviewed the situation and come to the same conclusions here. 6 months is still a bit much, but I don't see it as a UCoC violation at this time.

=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Lado85|Lado85]]) ===
Hi, admin ([https://ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/მომხმარებელი:Mehman Mehman]) on Georgian Wiki blocked me for adding correct information on two pages:
# Georgian Super Cup Article - another user changed information about Current champions andMost championships winner. I reverted it to correct information (Current champions - Torpedo Kutaisi and Most Championships winner - Dinamo Tbilisi). There are multiple sources for this information. He removes my edits, because "he do not trust me". He said this himself.
# On Commonwealth of Independent States article I added information about Ukraine newer was a member of CIS, because never ratified the CIS Charter, so never became a member state.
He banned me for a year without any reason. I opened block removing request on my talk page 10 days ago, but admins are ignoring it. I can't wrote any admin directly.

Block must be removed, because there was no reason to block me. Administrator privileges for [https://ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/მომხმარებელი:Mehman Mehman] must be removed.

== [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ==
=== Previous attempts at a solution - [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ===
Hello. Although I don't believe this case falls under the UCoC or that there was a violation, I will briefly outline the issue and explain why the user was blocked.

First, we don't have a specific policy regarding block durations, so each admin decides on the duration at their discretion; however, we are currently working on drafting such a policy.

As for the specific block, it was not imposed spontaneously or without warning. The block resulted from the user failing to follow Wikipedia's rules and engaging in an edit war. If we look at the two points on which the user is complaining about me, the situation is as follows:

*Georgian Super Cup Article: the user [https://ka.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E1%83%A1%E1%83%90%E1%83%A5%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%95%E1%83%94%E1%83%9A%E1%83%9D%E1%83%A1_%E1%83%A1%E1%83%90%E1%83%A4%E1%83%94%E1%83%AE%E1%83%91%E1%83%A3%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%9D_%E1%83%A1%E1%83%A3%E1%83%9E%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%90%E1%83%A1%E1%83%98&diff=prev&oldid=5453748 reverted an edit] without providing a reason, altered the article text, and cited a non-functional source. Because the source was not working, I couldn't verify the authenticity of the text. So, I would place more trust in a user with "autopatrolled" status and a working source than in a user lacking such privileges and a valid source. I also reverted Lado85's edit without stating a reason, as Georgian Wikipedia [[:ka:ვიკიპედია:რეზიუმე|rules]] don't require one for such actions. Furthermore, the edit I made was to undo what I considered to be vandalism.
*As for the CIS: the language used in the text was unnatural for Georgian, and it appears the user does not have full command of the language; their contribution history suggests a better grasp of Russian than Georgian. I replaced the text with more natural Georgian, formatted it according to Georgian WP guidelines, and aligned the layout with that of the English Wikipedia. I provided specific information noting that Ukraine is not a member of the organization in a footnote. However, the user evidently took issue with this and initiated an edit war, [https://ka.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E1%83%9B%E1%83%9D%E1%83%9B%E1%83%AE%E1%83%9B%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%94%E1%83%91%E1%83%9A%E1%83%98%E1%83%A1_%E1%83%92%E1%83%90%E1%83%9C%E1%83%AE%E1%83%98%E1%83%9A%E1%83%95%E1%83%90:Mehman&diff=prev&oldid=5453762 despite my warnings against doing so] and my pointing out their lack of language proficiency and failure to grasp the meaning of the word "member" in this context.

In my view, the user doesn't have a full command of the language, which hinders their ability to contribute to the Georgian Wikipedia—yet they refuse to acknowledge this; instead, they lash out at other users and engage in edit wars. I believe that blocking the user for a year is an appropriate measure.

=== Suggested solutions - [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ===
The user has posted a request for unblocking on their talk page. Other admins must review this request and decide. If they decide to unblock the user, they will do so; otherwise, the user must wait for the block to expire, just like anyone else.

==Other feedback==
''For people who are not parties, the following rules apply:
*Comments/replies may not be longer than 500 words and may not include more than 25 diffs/links. The U4C may, if asked, grant additional words or diffs/links.
*Comments/replies are permitted only in your own section.
*Contributions that do not help clarify the matter can be removed.
*'''''All''''' accusations and claims must be supported with diffs/links.''

===Other feedback (TheJoyfulTentmaker)===
I don't have direct information about the case or the parties beyond what is written on this page, but as a global community member I am concerned and felt the need to share my thoughts. I believe the admin conduct we see here, in general, might not be compliant with UCoC section 2.2 (i.e. the principles about mutual support, good citizenship, mentorship and coaching), and this is even more concerning when the admin is a very senior member of the Wikimedia movement. I also believe that disproportionate sanctions violate the Enforcement Guidelines, which says {{tqq|outcomes shall be proportional to the severity of the violation}}, if we consider this sanction as a local UCoC enforcement, and the block duration, even after it was revised, still appears to be too long for what seems to be a simple content dispute.
I also find it concerning that an obvious typo in the URL was used to disqualify a reference as a non-working link, that somewhat non-constructive comments were made about the filer's language proficiency, and that the lack of the autopatrol privilege appears to have been used against the user during a content dispute, even though it seems unrelated to the dispute itself. This is all based on my initial, quick reading of the case, and I acknowledge that I might be missing some context. However, I felt the need to express how the situation looks at first glance from the outside. I hope this feedback will be considered constructive.

Regarding the block, there is no specific policy on the duration, so each admin makes their own decision. In this instance, I was guided by the user's blocking history and their behavior on the Georgian Wikipedia. – [[User:Mehman|'''''Meh''''']][[User Talk:Mehman|'''''man''''']] 09:29, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
::* Super Cup: the information added by "autopatrolled" user had nothing in common with real situation. Before revert you must check information. If you don't know how to use google or any sport page, the same information is added on same Super Cup page in infobox and in Performance part of article.The link was right, there was only one extra "h" in http, left from old link, why didn't you simply fix this?
::* CIS - For first, I have full command of Georgian Language, for second you must explain a block, but you can't, because there was no reason to block me.

::{{ping|Mehman}} If I am reading your comment right, the fact that Lado does not have autopatrolled is a factor in your decision to revert their edit? Additionally, while I acknowledge there is no formal policy on block duration, the user's last block was 3 days, and it was 6 years ago. How did you get to a year for the block duration?

Even above in the discussion, personal attacks are visible against another, uninvolved Georgian Wikipedia admin, which confirms that the user has not grasped how Wikipedia works and that we should listen to the opinions of others. This also falls under the [[Ka:ვიკიპედია:პერსონალური შეტევების დაუშვებლობა|No Personal attacks]] policy (which we have).

==U4C decision==
''Only U4C members may edit in this section.''

===U4C member discussion===
* Just to formalize some things I've stated privately, the block length here seems fairly long in general, especially given the last block was 3 days long, 6 years ago. The unblock request itself doesn't seem to have taken that long (10 days isn't terribly long for a wiki with 5 admins), but [[ka:მომხმარებლის_განხილვა:RiadS99]] has also been open for 134 days, which is definitely far too long for an appeal to be waiting. I would like to see kawiki resolve these matters without a case, but because of these popping up, I think a case may be the practical way to resolve this, possibly via an expedited proceeding per 4.2.2.2 of the charter. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 19:40, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
* I am leaning to accept because I see some possible improper/excessive use of admin tools and some processes have margin of improvement (mainly block policy and appeal process) where I think we can give some useful advice. --[[User:Civvì|Civvì]] ([[User talk:Civvì|talk]]) 08:14, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

===Accept votes===
* I'm leaning towards accepting, even if somewhat weakly. Even if I don't think there are any ''clear-cut'' UCoC violations, having looked through the case and some other circumstances, I do see a pattern of unclearly justified blocks and unattended unblock requests. Regardless of whether or not the blocks are correct, one should in principle have a right to appeal, and I think we are at a point where locally blocked users don't seem to properly have that. The response above, as already noted by EggRoll, was also somewhat unconvincing to me and did not really explain the issues in the way I would have desired. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 19:32, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, though not without hesitation. I don’t think the block itself is a clear-cut UCoC violation, and if this were only about whether Lado85’s edits merited a year off, I’d say decline and let kawiki sort it out. What tips me over is the appeals situation. An unblock request sitting unanswered for 11 days is tolerable on a wiki with five admins; one sitting for over 130 days is not. Add to that a block that jumped from three days (in 2018) straight to a year, with no duration policy behind it, and a reduction logged with no new rationale, and I’m left doubting that blocked users on kawiki have a meaningful right of appeal at all. [[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 20:32, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, the reasons why the user was blocked are not completely clear to me. The lack of a blocking policy defining block durations, the absence of previous warnings (at least I don't find any on the user's talk page), some issues with the appeal process and red links in the specific blocking reasons (and in the dropdown list) lead me to believe that further analysis is necessary to determine how we can help to make sure that the EG requirements are met. --[[User:Civvì|Civvì]] ([[User talk:Civvì|talk]]) 16:56, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
* I would like to look closer into the blocking reasons, the kawiki personal attack policy and the appeal process as well as a potential conflict of interest. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 14:51, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, weakly - I am not quite convinced by the reasons given for blocking and the appeals process appears to need some review. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 17:03, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, ''extremely weakly''. I do not think we should focus on the specific block of Lado, and frankly I think we should remove Lado as a party, other than as the technical filer who brought this case.

* <s>While it's slightly disturbing conduct overall, and certainly not admin behavior (blocking over basically a content dispute) that I would endorse, I also do not see a UCoC violation here. An appeal resulted in another admin shifting the block to 6 months from a year. I am thus convinced that a neutral admin has reviewed the situation and come to the same conclusions here. 6 months is still a bit much, but I don't see it as a UCoC violation at this time.

=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Lado85|Lado85]]) ===
Hi, admin ([https://ka.wikipedia.org/wiki/მომხმარებელი:Mehman Mehman]) on Georgian Wiki blocked me for adding correct information on two pages:
# Georgian Super Cup Article - another user changed information about Current champions andMost championships winner. I reverted it to correct information (Current champions - Torpedo Kutaisi and Most Championships winner - Dinamo Tbilisi). There are multiple sources for this information. He removes my edits, because "he do not trust me". He said this himself.
# On Commonwealth of Independent States article I added information about Ukraine newer was a member of CIS, because never ratified the CIS Charter, so never became a member state.
He banned me for a year without any reason. I opened block removing request on my talk page 10 days ago, but admins are ignoring it. I can't wrote any admin directly.

== [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ==
=== Previous attempts at a solution - [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ===
Hello. Although I don't believe this case falls under the UCoC or that there was a violation, I will briefly outline the issue and explain why the user was blocked.

First, we don't have a specific policy regarding block durations, so each admin decides on the duration at their discretion; however, we are currently working on drafting such a policy.

As for the specific block, it was not imposed spontaneously or without warning. The block resulted from the user failing to follow Wikipedia's rules and engaging in an edit war. If we look at the two points on which the user is complaining about me, the situation is as follows:

*Georgian Super Cup Article: the user [https://ka.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E1%83%A1%E1%83%90%E1%83%A5%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%95%E1%83%94%E1%83%9A%E1%83%9D%E1%83%A1_%E1%83%A1%E1%83%90%E1%83%A4%E1%83%94%E1%83%AE%E1%83%91%E1%83%A3%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%9D_%E1%83%A1%E1%83%A3%E1%83%9E%E1%83%94%E1%83%A0%E1%83%97%E1%83%90%E1%83%A1%E1%83%98&diff=prev&oldid=5453748 reverted an edit] without providing a reason, altered the article text, and cited a non-functional source. Because the source was not working, I couldn't verify the authenticity of the text. So, I would place more trust in a user with "autopatrolled" status and a working source than in a user lacking such privileges and a valid source. I also reverted Lado85's edit without stating a reason, as Georgian Wikipedia [[:ka:ვიკიპედია:რეზიუმე|rules]] don't require one for such actions. Furthermore, the edit I made was to undo what I considered to be vandalism.
*As for the CIS: the language used in the text was unnatural for Georgian, and it appears the user does not have full command of the language; their contribution history suggests a better grasp of Russian than Georgian. I replaced the text with more natural Georgian, formatted it according to Georgian WP guidelines, and aligned the layout with that of the English Wikipedia. I provided specific information noting that Ukraine is not a member of the organization in a footnote. However, the user evidently took issue with this and initiated an edit war, [https://ka.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E1%83%9B%E1%83%9D%E1%83%9B%E1%83%AE%E1%83%9B%E1%83%90%E1%83%A0%E1%83%94%E1%83%91%E1%83%9A%E1%83%98%E1%83%A1_%E1%83%92%E1%83%90%E1%83%9C%E1%83%AE%E1%83%98%E1%83%9A%E1%83%95%E1%83%90:Mehman&diff=prev&oldid=5453762 despite my warnings against doing so] and my pointing out their lack of language proficiency and failure to grasp the meaning of the word "member" in this context.

In my view, the user doesn't have a full command of the language, which hinders their ability to contribute to the Georgian Wikipedia—yet they refuse to acknowledge this; instead, they lash out at other users and engage in edit wars. I believe that blocking the user for a year is an appropriate measure.

=== Suggested solutions - [[User:Mehman|Mehman]] ===
The user has posted a request for unblocking on their talk page. Other admins must review this request and decide. If they decide to unblock the user, they will do so; otherwise, the user must wait for the block to expire, just like anyone else.

==Other feedback==
''For people who are not parties, the following rules apply:
*Comments/replies may not be longer than 500 words and may not include more than 25 diffs/links. The U4C may, if asked, grant additional words or diffs/links.
*Comments/replies are permitted only in your own section.
*Contributions that do not help clarify the matter can be removed.
*'''''All''''' accusations and claims must be supported with diffs/links.''

===Other feedback (TheJoyfulTentmaker)===
I don't have direct information about the case or the parties beyond what is written on this page, but as a global community member I am concerned and felt the need to share my thoughts. I believe the admin conduct we see here, in general, might not be compliant with UCoC section 2.2 (i.e. the principles about mutual support, good citizenship, mentorship and coaching), and this is even more concerning when the admin is a very senior member of the Wikimedia movement. I also believe that disproportionate sanctions violate the Enforcement Guidelines, which says {{tqq|outcomes shall be proportional to the severity of the violation}}, if we consider this sanction as a local UCoC enforcement, and the block duration, even after it was revised, still appears to be too long for what seems to be a simple content dispute.
I also find it concerning that an obvious typo in the URL was used to disqualify a reference as a non-working link, that somewhat non-constructive comments were made about the filer's language proficiency, and that the lack of the autopatrol privilege appears to have been used against the user during a content dispute, even though it seems unrelated to the dispute itself. This is all based on my initial, quick reading of the case, and I acknowledge that I might be missing some context. However, I felt the need to express how the situation looks at first glance from the outside. I hope this feedback will be considered constructive.

==U4C decision==
''Only U4C members may edit in this section.''

===U4C member discussion===
* Just to formalize some things I've stated privately, the block length here seems fairly long in general, especially given the last block was 3 days long, 6 years ago. The unblock request itself doesn't seem to have taken that long (10 days isn't terribly long for a wiki with 5 admins), but [[ka:მომხმარებლის_განხილვა:RiadS99]] has also been open for 134 days, which is definitely far too long for an appeal to be waiting. I would like to see kawiki resolve these matters without a case, but because of these popping up, I think a case may be the practical way to resolve this, possibly via an expedited proceeding per 4.2.2.2 of the charter. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 19:40, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
* I am leaning to accept because I see some possible improper/excessive use of admin tools and some processes have margin of improvement (mainly block policy and appeal process) where I think we can give some useful advice. --[[User:Civvì|Civvì]] ([[User talk:Civvì|talk]]) 08:14, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

===Accept votes===
* I'm leaning towards accepting, even if somewhat weakly. Even if I don't think there are any ''clear-cut'' UCoC violations, having looked through the case and some other circumstances, I do see a pattern of unclearly justified blocks and unattended unblock requests. Regardless of whether or not the blocks are correct, one should in principle have a right to appeal, and I think we are at a point where locally blocked users don't seem to properly have that. The response above, as already noted by EggRoll, was also somewhat unconvincing to me and did not really explain the issues in the way I would have desired. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 19:32, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, though not without hesitation. I don’t think the block itself is a clear-cut UCoC violation, and if this were only about whether Lado85’s edits merited a year off, I’d say decline and let kawiki sort it out. What tips me over is the appeals situation. An unblock request sitting unanswered for 11 days is tolerable on a wiki with five admins; one sitting for over 130 days is not. Add to that a block that jumped from three days (in 2018) straight to a year, with no duration policy behind it, and a reduction logged with no new rationale, and I’m left doubting that blocked users on kawiki have a meaningful right of appeal at all. [[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 20:32, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, the reasons why the user was blocked are not completely clear to me. The lack of a blocking policy defining block durations, the absence of previous warnings (at least I don't find any on the user's talk page), some issues with the appeal process and red links in the specific blocking reasons (and in the dropdown list) lead me to believe that further analysis is necessary to determine how we can help to make sure that the EG requirements are met. --[[User:Civvì|Civvì]] ([[User talk:Civvì|talk]]) 16:56, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
* I would like to look closer into the blocking reasons, the kawiki personal attack policy and the appeal process as well as a potential conflict of interest. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 14:51, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
* Accept, weakly - I am not quite convinced by the reasons given for blocking and the appeals process appears to need some review. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 17:03, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

===Decline votes===
* While it's slightly disturbing conduct overall, and certainly not admin behavior (blocking over basically a content dispute) that I would endorse, I also do not see a UCoC violation here. An appeal resulted in another admin shifting the block to 6 months from a year. I am thus convinced that a neutral admin has reviewed the situation and come to the same conclusions here. 6 months is still a bit much, but I don't see it as a UCoC violation at this time. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 23:12, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
* I'm not seeing a UCoC violation in this case. [[User:Superzerocool|Superzerocool]] ([[User talk:Superzerocool|talk]]) 14:18, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in the upcoming WPWP Campaign ==

Hello Wikipedians,

This is to invite you to join the [[:m:Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos|WPWP Campaign]] to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign will run from 1st July 2020 to 31st August 2020.

The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

Please visit the '''[[:m:Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos|campaign page]]''' to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.

With kind regards,

Thank you,

Deborah Schwartz Jacobs, Communities Liaison, On behalf of the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Organizing Team - 21:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

In order for this feature to work, we need translations of those labels. There are only six labels:

* Configure
* Disable Bot

Hi, thank you for adding your name as a contact for Anti-Spam. I have posted a message about Prix Versailles at [[:tr:Vikipedi tart%C4%B1%C5%9Fma:B%C3%BCy%C3%BCkel%C3%A7ilik#Cross Wikipedia promotion and sock puppets for Prix Versailles]], but have not had a response yet.

In en and fr Wikipedias we have deleted the Prix Versailles article, but obviously that is a decision for each Wikipedia to make independently.

<div lang="en" class="mw-content-ltr">Hi all!

The community vote of this year's Board Elections are close. As always voter mails will be sent out. To invite as many community members as possible in their native tongue your help is very much appreciated. While there are already plenty of translations we would appreciate you to check for languages still missing and to contribute translations for these.

The mails are short, just a bit about two times '''200 words''', a few minutes of work.

Your support is very important as it helps communities to learn about the election and to cast their vote.

Best,

Dear Toprak,

On behalf of the Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2024 programme committee, I am pleased to inform you that your submission titled "[[Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2024/Submissions/Wiki Student Clubs in Türkiye panel|Wiki Student Clubs in Türkiye panel]]" has been accepted as a panel. In case you have any additional requests or questions, do not hesitate to contact me or any other committee member.

Best regards.--[[User:Kiril Simeonovski|Kiril Simeonovski]] ([[User talk:Kiril Simeonovski|talk]]) 18:37, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

== Web2Cit contributions ==

Hi, @[[User:ToprakM|ToprakM]]! Thank you very much for your Web2Cit contributions. I have checked a few of them, for domains www.voaturkce.com, www.yenisafak.com and www.sabah.com.tr, and they look really good! Thank you!

Could you please also add translation tests for the domains you have configured? Having translation tests indicating what the expected outputs are is crucial to collaboratively maintain Web2Cit configuration, by enabling other contributors understand what has been done and why and what is missing, and by allowing the [[Web2Cit#Watch changes|Web2Cit monitor]] to detect when translation breaks for some reason and fixes are needed.

You can read more about translation tests here: [[Web2Cit#Add_a_translation_test]]. I recommend that you start with the same paths that you have used for the templates you configured.

Let me know if you have any questions. I will be happy to help!

Oh, and by the way! We have recently created a [[Template:User Web2Cit|Web2Cit userbox]] that Web2Cit contributors can add to their [[Special:MyPage|meta-wiki user page]] to advertise their Web2Cit skills and contributions. This userbox also automatically adds the user page to the [[:Category:Web2Cit contributors|Web2Cit contributors]] category, making it easier for Web2Cit users and other contributors to find and help one another. If you think adding this userbox to your user page makes sense, you can do so by just adding <code><nowiki>{{User Web2Cit}}</nowiki></code> to it :) [[User:Diegodlh|Diegodlh]] ([[User talk:Diegodlh|talk]]) 20:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

== Join the 6th Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Campaign – 2025 Edition ==

Dear Wikimedia affiliate community leader,

Thanks for organizing the previous editions of the [[:m:Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Campaign|Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos]] Campaign in your community. We invite your community again to participate in the 6th edition of the [[:m:Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2025|Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Campaign]], a global campaign taking place from July 1 to August 31, 2025.

Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable photo from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests ([[:m:Wiki Loves Africa|Wiki Loves Africa]], [[:m:Wiki Loves Earth|Wiki Loves Earth]], [[:m:Wiki Loves Folklore|Wiki Loves Folklore]], [[:m:Wiki Loves Monuments|Wiki Loves Monuments]], etc.) over the years.

More than 80 Wikimedia affiliates have participated since the campaign was launched in 2020 and have added images to more than 400,000 Wikipedia articles in over 245 Wikipedia languages. Thanks to the volunteer contributors!

We now invite your affiliate to organize and lead the campaign within your community. As a local organizer, you may:

*Encourage individual members to take part by adding images to Wikipedia articles.
*Host edit-a-thons focused on improving visual content.
*Organize training workshops to teach contributors how to correctly integrate images into Wikipedia.

These activities will help build local capacity and increase visual content across Wikipedia.

Please note that for participants to be eligible to participate in the campaign, they need to have registered an account for at least a year before the official start date of the contest. That is, for the 2025 edition, they must have registered an account on or before July 1, 2025. The account can be from any Wikimedia project wikis.

The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language Wikipedia.

We would be glad for you to [[:m:Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2025/Participating Communities|sign up directly]] at [[:m:Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2025/Participating Communities|WPWP Participating Communities]].

With kind regards,

[[User:Reading Beans]]

== Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki ==

Greetings!

The [[mw:Wikimedia Language and Product Localization|Language and Product Localization team]] has developed a [[mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Message_Bundles/Lua_reference|Lua interface]] to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages.

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.

We invite you to [[commons:File:Translatable_modules_video_demo_July_2025.webm|'''watch our demo video''']] '''and read more about''' [[mw:Translatable_modules|'''translatable modules''']] to understand how it works. '''Please give us your feedback on''' [[mw:Talk:Translatable_modules|'''this talk page''']] on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to [[m:Module:User Wikimedia project|Module:User Wikimedia project]], which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach.

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.

== Web2Cit template paths ==

Hi @[[User:ToprakM|ToprakM]]! Thank you for being a Web2Cit contributor!

Some translation templates you have worked on may need attention. Could you help us fix them?

[[Web2Cit/Docs/Templates|Translation templates]] should be based on specific webpages and ideally should have corresponding [[Web2Cit/Docs/Tests|translation tests]] indicating the expected output. This is important for maintainability, so other contributors can understand why a template has been set in some way, and so the [[Web2Cit/monitor|Web2Cit Monitor]] can detect when citations break.

We found some templates for paths that do not have a corresponding test. This is usually because the path is generic (i.e., not corresponding to a specific webpage of interest; e.g., <code>/</code> or <code>/**</code>), or simply because a translation test hasn't been defined for that path.

Here's a list of domain configurations you have contributed to, and corresponding template paths for which no tests have been defined. Other editors may have contributed to these files as well and they will or have been notified too.

To help us, for as many of these paths as you can, could you please make sure:
# that it corresponds to a specific webpage of interest, and
# that a corresponding translation test has been defined?

=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
I hope I’m following the template correctly.
Dear Wikimedia Team.

I am worried that the user Mirzali is engaging in sysop abuse at the Zazaki Wiktionary. I have notified the team at Requests for Comment [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse_by_Mirzali_on_Zazaki_Wiktionary Here!] and they told me: "You may want to consider filing at Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases instead." so that is what I did.

I have been blocked indefinitely in the Zazaki Wiktionary without any prior warning on my talk page as far as I can see.

[https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Werênayışê_karberi:Kurdanparez My Zazaki Wiktionary Talk page (link)]

The comment for my block is only “Tiya Zazaki nuşiyeno, Kurdki nê…”, in other words, that I am not allowed to write anything in Kurdish.

So far, I’ve made less than 10 edits on the website. I’ve mostly edited on pages about the Kurmanji Kurdish language, since it is my native language, and added a template about adjectives (the positive, comparative and superlative table), so I’ve not made anything complicated, harrassed anyone or written inaccurate information in the Wiktionary.

I do not intend to vandalize or do anything, and as you are able to see on my edit history, I do not engage in harmful behavior, edit-warring and anything else in that regard. It is also a well-known principle ([[foundation:Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] 2.1 of Code-of-Conduct "Assume Good Faith") that admins should assume good faith first from users, and even if I did do wrongful behavior in the Wiktionary, I have not been notified of any specific event. I do not intend to break any rules either on the Zazaki Wikipedia - and if I have been doing so based on my activity, I still have not gotten any explanation for which rules are broken, and why it warrants an indefinite block, which makes me think of Code of Conduct policy 2.2. Civility, collegiality, mutual support and good citizenship.

Mirzali seemingly without evidence has said that I have no credentials or authority to say anything related to Zazas, “since I am a Kurd” and is also generally very hostile in an otherwise mostly calm discussion.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Zazaki_entry_guidelines#c-Mirzali-20260707134900-Kurdanparez-20260707110800 See the comment here]

He says:
*"You are Kurdish. I am Zaza. You have no authority; moral, linguistic, or historical; to speak on behalf of my language. Your entire post is an exercise in misplaced entitlement, and I will not entertain it. You frame this as a debate about alphabets. It is not. It is about a Kurd; you, attempting to insert himself into a Zaza internal matter, pretending to advocate for us while in fact treating our language as a political football in your broader Kurdish nationalist project. I do not need your advocacy. I did not ask for it. And I reject it outright."
*"So here is my response to you, direct and without polish:
**Stay in your lane. Zazaki is not Kurdish. Zazas are not Kurds. You do not get a vote.
**Stop pretending to be an ally. Allies listen. You lecture. That is not solidarity; that is domination.
**Wiktionary is not your battlefield. If you care about Zazaki, step aside and let Zazas speak. If you cannot do that, then stay silent."
*"Do not reply to me unless you are prepared to acknowledge that you have no say in this matter. I will not engage further with a Kurd who thinks he knows my language better than I do."

I believe this is important context in regards to why he has chosen to block me from the Zazaki Wiktionary. It is evident that he breaks rule 3.1 (Harassment) of the Code of Conduct, specifically:

* '''Insults:''' This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, sex, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics. In some cases, repeated mockery, sarcasm, or aggression constitute insults collectively, even if individual statements would not.

Furthermore he breaks 3.2 (Abuse of Power), specifically:

* '''Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff:''' use of authority, knowledge, or resources at the disposal of designated functionaries, as well as officials and staff of the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia affiliates, '''to intimidate or threaten others.'''
** Example: "Stay in your lane. Zazaki is not Kurdish. Zazas are not Kurds. You do not get a vote." and "If you care about Zazaki, step aside and let Zazas speak. If you cannot do that, then stay silent."

as well as 3.3:

* '''Hate speech in any form''', or discriminatory language aimed at vilifying, humiliating, inciting hatred against individuals or groups on the basis of who they are or their personal beliefs:
** Example: "You are Kurdish. I am Zaza. You have no authority; moral, linguistic, or historical; to speak on behalf of my language."

I apologize for any inconvenience, but I cannot see any other solution relevant to this case other than to notify you, the Wikimedia Team.

I would also like to note that Mirzali has gotten past complains about sysop-abuse in other projects also over 10 years ago:

[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse:Mirzali 2011]

[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse_on_the_Zazaki_Wikipedia, 2013]

I thank you for taking the time to read my request, and I hope you will consider resolving this issue about user blocking.

Best regards
Kurdanparez

=== Previous attempts at a solution - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
I cannot explain myself on my own or his talk page. I cannot solve this problem independently. I’ve been blocked on every parameter. So I’m basically view-only. I think it is a bit worrying that I have gotten no warnings and he has straight-out blocked me from doing anything. That is why I believe it is sysop-abuse, since he is sysop in the Zazaki Wiktionary. Reminder that he says: "Do not reply to me unless you are prepared to acknowledge that you have no say in this matter. I will not engage further with a Kurd who thinks he knows my language better than I do."

=== Suggested solutions - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
It is absolutely clear that he holds a different threshold towards Kurds than he does to other people, and he is insistent that Zazas are not Kurds and uses this principle as a disciplinary measure as an admin. This is clearly unacademic and biased behavior and is not going to help us create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, be part of a global community that will avoid bias and prejudice, and strive towards accuracy and verifiability in all its work, looking back at the Universal Code of Conduct.

A solution that would benefit the Zazaki Wiktionary and the Wikimedia project in general would first be to remove the indefinite block imposed on me and possibly other users targeted for the same/similar things. If he continues with the behavior or if his behavior is simply unacceptable in light of the Wikimedia principles, the best solution would be to remove his Sysop permissions.

::Preliminary statement on jurisdiction and standing
::I note that the filer, Kurdanparez, is not a Zaza speaker and has made no substantive contributions to the Zazaki Wiktionary beyond a handful of edits. He is a Kurdish nationalist activist who has no connection to the Zaza language community. His filing is not a good-faith report of misconduct; it is a retaliatory act following my rejection of his political interference in Zaza linguistic affairs.
::The block was justified and proportionate
::Kurdanparez was blocked for writing in Kurmanji Kurdish on a project whose sole purpose is the documentation and preservation of the Zaza language. The block comment was: "Tiya Zazaki nuşiyeno, Kurdki nê…" ("Here it is written in Zazaki, not Kurdish"). This is a basic content policy, not an act of discrimination. The Zazaki Wiktionary is not a platform for Kurdish nationalist activism, nor is it a place for Kurds to assert ownership over Zaza language resources.
::The filer misrepresents the context
::Kurdanparez selectively quotes my words to manufacture a harassment claim, while omitting that his original intervention was unsolicited and involved him attempting to dictate orthographic standards for a language that is not his own. His edits were not collaborative; they were an imposition. My response was not an attack on his ethnicity; it was a rejection of his claim to authority. There is a difference between saying "You are Kurdish, therefore you cannot speak for Zazas" and saying "You are Kurdish, therefore you are inferior." The former is a statement of standing; the latter would be harassment. I said the former.
::The UCOC does not require admins to tolerate bad-faith interference
::The Universal Code of Conduct exists to protect projects from disruption, not to compel admins to accept political interference. Kurdanparez was not blocked for being Kurdish; he was blocked for acting as a Kurd who refused to acknowledge that Zaza is a distinct language with its own community. His continued insistence that he has a right to participate in Zaza linguistic governance is precisely the behavior that warranted the block.
::On talk page access
::I revoked talk page access because the filer was using his talk page to continue the same political arguments that led to his block, rather than engaging constructively. There was no legitimate appeal to be made; he did not contest the content policy; he contested the legitimacy of Zaza self-determination. That is not an appeal; it is continued disruption.
::On the administrator-only lock on my local talk page
::This is a technical measure to prevent off-topic political debates from being inserted into a project space that is meant for dictionary-building. It does not prevent users from contacting me on Meta or via other appropriate channels. If a Zaza speaker has a legitimate concern about an editorial decision, I am accessible. If a Kurd wants to lecture me about my own language, I am not obligated to provide a platform for that.
::Conclusion
::This case is without merit. It is a vexatious filing by a user who was rightfully blocked for violating the basic content policy of the Zazaki Wiktionary. I request that the U4C dismiss this case and, if appropriate, consider restrictions on Kurdanparez to prevent further misuse of Wikimedia dispute resolution mechanisms to advance a political agenda. -- [[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] ([[User talk:Mirzali|talk]]) 22:15, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Mirzali|Mirzali]] "I revoked talk page access because the filer was using his talk page to continue the same political arguments that led to his block" – No, the filer has never edited their talk page. It was never even created [https://diq.wiktionary.org/wiki/X%C4%B1susi:Qeyd?type=&user=&page=Wer%C3%AAnay%C4%B1%C5%9F%C3%AA+karberi%253AKurdanparez&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%255B%255D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist]. I note that it looks like some parts of your message were written by AI (a large-language model); AI sometimes adds factual errors to text and I strongly suggest not using it for anything other than translation.
:::Your stated reason for protecting your own talk pages is inappropriate. Editors should not be expected to go to ''another project'' to reach you. There is a link to your talk page in page histories ("werênayış"), in links to old revisions, and even in your signature ("mesac"). That link needs to let people contact you.
:::More broadly, I am concerned by your views of the Zazaki Wiktionary as a project. Claims such as "political interference in Zaza linguistic affairs" imply that the Zazaki Wiktionary is itself a Zaza political project, rather than simply a collaborative online dictionary. Wiktionaries generally aim to define words in all languages in the language of the project. For example, the English Wiktionary also has entries for German words. Without specific evidence of "political interference" and a very limited ability to machine-translate the Zaza language, all I can see is that Kurdanparez added entries for Kurdish words to the Zazaki Wiktionary [https://diq.wiktionary.org/wiki/X%C4%B1susi:%C4%B0%C5%9Ft%C4%B1raki/Kurdanparez]. Please provide evidence to support your accusations. '''[[User:Toadspike|Toadspike]] [[User talk:Toadspike|[Talk]]]''' 07:22, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
::::I agree with Toadspike and EggRoll97.
::::Mirzali cannot speculate on my political ideology without evidence. Though I am Kurdish, it does not mean that my edits are founded on Kurdish nationalism. I have always confined myself to proper sourcing and documentation in my main-space editing. For example:
::::[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:zza-conj-verb See the Zazaki conjugation page on English Wiktionary]

== [[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]] ==
=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
I hope I’m following the template correctly.
Dear Wikimedia Team.

I am worried that the user Mirzali is engaging in sysop abuse at the Zazaki Wiktionary. I have notified the team at Requests for Comment [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse_by_Mirzali_on_Zazaki_Wiktionary Here!] and they told me: "You may want to consider filing at Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases instead." so that is what I did.

I have been blocked indefinitely in the Zazaki Wiktionary without any prior warning on my talk page as far as I can see.

[https://diq.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Werênayışê_karberi:Kurdanparez My Zazaki Wiktionary Talk page (link)]

The comment for my block is only “Tiya Zazaki nuşiyeno, Kurdki nê…”, in other words, that I am not allowed to write anything in Kurdish.

So far, I’ve made less than 10 edits on the website. I’ve mostly edited on pages about the Kurmanji Kurdish language, since it is my native language, and added a template about adjectives (the positive, comparative and superlative table), so I’ve not made anything complicated, harrassed anyone or written inaccurate information in the Wiktionary.

I do not intend to vandalize or do anything, and as you are able to see on my edit history, I do not engage in harmful behavior, edit-warring and anything else in that regard. It is also a well-known principle ([[foundation:Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] 2.1 of Code-of-Conduct "Assume Good Faith") that admins should assume good faith first from users, and even if I did do wrongful behavior in the Wiktionary, I have not been notified of any specific event. I do not intend to break any rules either on the Zazaki Wikipedia - and if I have been doing so based on my activity, I still have not gotten any explanation for which rules are broken, and why it warrants an indefinite block, which makes me think of Code of Conduct policy 2.2. Civility, collegiality, mutual support and good citizenship.

Mirzali seemingly without evidence has said that I have no credentials or authority to say anything related to Zazas, “since I am a Kurd” and is also generally very hostile in an otherwise mostly calm discussion.

[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary_talk:Zazaki_entry_guidelines#c-Mirzali-20260707134900-Kurdanparez-20260707110800 See the comment here]

He says:
*"You are Kurdish. I am Zaza. You have no authority; moral, linguistic, or historical; to speak on behalf of my language. Your entire post is an exercise in misplaced entitlement, and I will not entertain it. You frame this as a debate about alphabets. It is not. It is about a Kurd; you, attempting to insert himself into a Zaza internal matter, pretending to advocate for us while in fact treating our language as a political football in your broader Kurdish nationalist project. I do not need your advocacy. I did not ask for it. And I reject it outright."
*"So here is my response to you, direct and without polish:
**Stay in your lane. Zazaki is not Kurdish. Zazas are not Kurds. You do not get a vote.
**Stop pretending to be an ally. Allies listen. You lecture. That is not solidarity; that is domination.
**Wiktionary is not your battlefield. If you care about Zazaki, step aside and let Zazas speak. If you cannot do that, then stay silent."
*"Do not reply to me unless you are prepared to acknowledge that you have no say in this matter. I will not engage further with a Kurd who thinks he knows my language better than I do."

I believe this is important context in regards to why he has chosen to block me from the Zazaki Wiktionary. It is evident that he breaks rule 3.1 (Harassment) of the Code of Conduct, specifically:

* '''Insults:''' This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, sex, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics. In some cases, repeated mockery, sarcasm, or aggression constitute insults collectively, even if individual statements would not.

Furthermore he breaks 3.2 (Abuse of Power), specifically:

* '''Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff:''' use of authority, knowledge, or resources at the disposal of designated functionaries, as well as officials and staff of the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia affiliates, '''to intimidate or threaten others.'''
** Example: "Stay in your lane. Zazaki is not Kurdish. Zazas are not Kurds. You do not get a vote." and "If you care about Zazaki, step aside and let Zazas speak. If you cannot do that, then stay silent."

as well as 3.3:

* '''Hate speech in any form''', or discriminatory language aimed at vilifying, humiliating, inciting hatred against individuals or groups on the basis of who they are or their personal beliefs:
** Example: "You are Kurdish. I am Zaza. You have no authority; moral, linguistic, or historical; to speak on behalf of my language."

I apologize for any inconvenience, but I cannot see any other solution relevant to this case other than to notify you, the Wikimedia Team.

I would also like to note that Mirzali has gotten past complains about sysop-abuse in other projects also over 10 years ago:

[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse:Mirzali 2011]

[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Sysop_abuse_on_the_Zazaki_Wikipedia, 2013]

I thank you for taking the time to read my request, and I hope you will consider resolving this issue about user blocking.

Best regards
Kurdanparez

——

=== Previous attempts at a solution - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
I cannot explain myself on my own or his talk page. I cannot solve this problem independently. I’ve been blocked on every parameter. So I’m basically view-only. I think it is a bit worrying that I have gotten no warnings and he has straight-out blocked me from doing anything. That is why I believe it is sysop-abuse, since he is sysop in the Zazaki Wiktionary. Reminder that he says: "Do not reply to me unless you are prepared to acknowledge that you have no say in this matter. I will not engage further with a Kurd who thinks he knows my language better than I do."

=== Suggested solutions - ([[User:Kurdanparez|Kurdanparez]]) ===
It is absolutely clear that he holds a different threshold towards Kurds than he does to other people, and he is insistent that Zazas are not Kurds and uses this principle as a disciplinary measure as an admin. This is clearly unacademic and biased behavior and is not going to help us create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, be part of a global community that will avoid bias and prejudice, and strive towards accuracy and verifiability in all its work, looking back at the Universal Code of Conduct.

A solution that would benefit the Zazaki Wiktionary and the Wikimedia project in general would first be to remove the indefinite block imposed on me and possibly other users targeted for the same/similar things. If he continues with the behavior or if his behavior is simply unacceptable in light of the Wikimedia principles, the best solution would be to remove his Sysop permissions.

== [[User:Johnnytelles|Johnnytelles]] ==
=== Description of the problem - ([[User:Johnnytelles|Johnnytelles]]) ===
On 25 July 2026 at 14:17 UTC, administrator Madamebiblio applied a 2-week block to Johnnytelles citing "Creating inappropriate pages: Notability policy" (Log ID: [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=672303047 672303047]).

'''The central issue: no specific edit or item was identified'''

The block notice does not name a single item, edit, or example. This is not a procedural omission — it is dispositive. An administrator who genuinely believes an editor is creating inappropriate pages can name at least one. The inability or unwillingness to do so means the stated justification is unverifiable on its face and unappealable by design: without knowing which specific item violated policy, the blocked user has no means to demonstrate compliance or contest the decision.

This point is independent of what happened in the days before the block. Even if one were to assume the edits were problematic, a block citing "Notability policy" without identifying which pages violates the basic standard of evidentiary accountability expected of administrative actions.

'''Systemic pattern: 5 blocks citing notability with no item specified'''

This is not an isolated omission. A review of Madamebiblio's block log reveals a consistent pattern of notability-based blocks without identifying any specific item:

# User:70Juan — 13 June 2026 — "Elementos sin relevancia demostrada. Falta de comunicación" — 3 months — no item cited
# User:Wendy Tatiana Mendoza Aparicio — 14 June 2026 — "not notable items. No response" — indefinite — no item cited
# User:Wikibgt — 15 July 2026 — "Items not referenced, WD:N. Not response" — indefinite — no item cited
# User:VauTee — 15 July 2026 — "More and more items not notable, WD:N. Not response" — indefinite — no item cited
# User:Johnnytelles — 25 July 2026 — "Creating inappropriate pages: Notability policy" — 2 weeks — no item cited

In all five cases, the block reason contains no item identifier (Qxxxxx), no diff, and no link. Notably, when Madamebiblio issued a warning to Wikibgt in June 2025, she cited a specific item: {{subst:uw-notability|Q134587789}}. She is capable of citing specific items when issuing warnings — the systematic omission in block notices is a choice, not an oversight.

'''The 4-day editing record reinforces this conclusion'''

Between 21 July and 25 July 2026, Johnnytelles made more than 1,300 edits creating items for Brazilian audiovisual works with verifiable external identifiers (IMDb P345, ORCID 0009-0004-5181-3957). During this entire period:
* Zero edits were reverted
* Zero items were deleted
* Zero flags were raised by any administrator

The block was the first and only targeted administrative action — and it named no examples.

'''Network pattern: Bovlb signals, Madamebiblio executes'''

The block did not occur in isolation. A review of prior cases reveals a pattern in which Bovlb flags a user on their talk page and Madamebiblio subsequently blocks that user:

* User:VauTee — Bovlb added section "Notability" to VauTee's talk page on 3 July 2026. Madamebiblio blocked VauTee indefinitely on 15 July 2026 (12 days later)
* User:Johnnytelles — Bovlb posted "A suggestion for moving forward" on Johnnytelles' talk page on 24 July 2026. Madamebiblio blocked Johnnytelles on 25 July 2026 (1 day later)

This pattern does not require that Bovlb and Madamebiblio communicate directly. It is sufficient to note that Bovlb's interventions on user talk pages have been followed, in both documented cases, by Madamebiblio blocking those users — without citing specific items in either block notice.

'''Timeline of escalation'''

* 21 July 2026: Madamebiblio denies rollbacker request citing "notability" — an incorrect criterion (rollbacker is based on editorial trust, not item notability)
* 21 July 2026: Madamebiblio issues a formal warning on [[User_talk:Johnnytelles|Johnnytelles' talk page]]
* 21–25 July 2026: ~1,300 edits made, zero corrective actions by any administrator
* 22 July 2026, 12:25 UTC: Ymblanter publicly states "you cannot be trusted with this flag" on the rollbacker request page
* 24 July 2026: Bovlb posts on Johnnytelles' talk page
* 25 July 2026, 14:17 UTC: Block applied — approximately 74 hours after Ymblanter's statement, with no specific item identified

'''Why local resolution is insufficient'''

The blocking administrator (Madamebiblio) and the administrator who made a hostile public statement (Ymblanter) are both part of the Wikidata local admin group. No impartial local authority is available to review an action taken by one administrator 74 hours after another administrator publicly questioned the editor's trustworthiness.

'''UCoC violation alleged'''

UCoC §3.2 — Abuse of power: systematic use of administrative tools without evidentiary basis for the stated justification, as demonstrated by a consistent pattern of notability-based blocks that identify no specific item, applied in this case in temporal proximity to a hostile public statement by a second administrator and following a rollbacker denial that applied an incorrect criterion.

=== Previous attempts at a solution - ([[User:Johnnytelles|Johnnytelles]]) ===
* Rollbacker request denied by Madamebiblio on 21 July 2026 (incorrect criterion): [[Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Other_rights]]
* Ymblanter public statement 22 July 2026: [[Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Other_rights#c-Ymblanter-20260722122500-Johnnytelles-20260721191500]]
* Block notice on talk page: [[User_talk:Johnnytelles#Item_creation_block]]
* WMF Trust & Safety — Ticket #154174 (submitted prior to this case)

=== Suggested solutions - ([[User:Johnnytelles|Johnnytelles]]) ===
# Precautionary suspension of the 2-week block pending U4C review, given that the block notice identifies no specific edit or item as violating the notability policy
# Independent review of which specific edits, if any, violated the notability policy, and why none were challenged, reverted, or flagged during 4 days of continuous editing prior to the block
# Review of the systemic pattern of notability-based blocks without evidentiary specificity, and whether this pattern constitutes a violation of the due process standards implied by the right to appeal under UCoC §3.2

== [[User:Madamebiblio|Madamebiblio]] ==
=== Previous attempts at a solution - [[User:Madamebiblio|Madamebiblio]] ===

The user was [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User%20talk:Johnnytelles duly notified that the items created violate Wikidata's notability policy].
The rejection of the rollbacker flag is due to a clear lack of understanding of Wikidata policies. The request was based on the number of edits.

The user is only restricted from creating new items; this is not a full block: they continue to edit existing items and communicating with the community.

=== Suggested solutions - [[User:Madamebiblio|Madamebiblio]] ===


The text regarding the restriction on creating new items, posted on the user's talk page, explicitly states the reasons.
The partial block allows the user to add the missing references from external and notable sources.

* Hi [[User:Johnnytelles|Johnnytelles]], have you tried a block appeal at wikidata? --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 18:05, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

:A block appeal at Wikidata requires an uninvolved administrator. If Madamebiblio were uninvolved in the matters documented in Cases 1–4, there would be no record of Madamebiblio closing cases involving Bovlb. There are four such records, spanning January through July 2026. Therefore Madamebiblio is not uninvolved. Therefore a local block appeal does not provide an independent review of this block.
:Cases 1–4 were filed following explicit referral by WMF Trust & Safety (ticket #154174, Kevin Peterson, 2026-07-22), who indicated this committee as the appropriate channel for UCoC violations where local administrators are unable or unwilling to act. I have requested reopening of those cases on the grounds that EPIC, who formalized all four declines, received oversight rights from Lymantria (respondent in Case 4) three months before the cases were filed, and has 73 documented instances of self-closing threads on Wikidata — the same pattern the cases document.

* You still don't seem to understand that this isn't an appeals venue, nor is it a place where you should be ranting about personal disagreements. The truth about Wikimedia is that you can't always "obtain justice" - sometimes you have to respect that your behavior might have been faulty and that it's something you'll need to work on. Now please drop it. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 18:27, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
* I’ve read through this request and the related discussions on Wikidata. What I see is fundamentally a disagreement over how WD:N was applied to a set of deleted items, and disagreeing with a deletion outcome is not a UCoC violation - which is exactly something we already declined to intervene two days ago. Why are you bringing this to us again? The block itself was preceded by the filer opening substantially the same discussion across multiple venues after being asked to stop, so I don’t find the “retaliation” framing convincing. Wikidata has functioning local processes for both of these issues: the block can be appealed locally, and the underlying notability question is already being discussed in the ongoing RfC on notability reform, which is the right place for it. I would also note this is now the fifth request from the same filer in a matter of days, all raising similar unsupported allegations.

</translate>

* <translate> Comply with the UCoC.</translate>
* <translate> Be at least 18 years old and sign the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (NDA) with the Wikimedia Foundation once they are elected.</translate>

* <translate> Meet any other eligibility requirements determined during the election process.</translate>
* <translate> Be a registered member of at least one Wiki project for at least 365 days and have a minimum of 500 edits globally on 24 April 2026 12:00 UTC.</translate>

<translate>

As a further eligibility requirement for the 2026 election, candidates must hold or have held administrator or other extended rights (e.g. CU, Arb) on at least one public Wikimedia Foundation project or steward or global sysop rights for a period of at least three months.


Please note that all volunteers who meet the requirements are eligible to run. For an overview of the candidates' user statistics, please see the [[<tvar name="1">Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2026/Candidates guide</tvar>|candidates guide]].


In this election, according to [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter#2. Elections and Terms</tvar>|chapter 2 of the U4C charter]], there are 12 seats available on the U4C: '''five''' community-at-large seats and '''seven''' regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.

* <translate> East, South East Asia and Pacific (ESEAP)</translate>
<translate>

U4C membership is for a two-year term in general. There additionally are vacant seats from last year's election that are available for one year. The term of elected representatives (both regional representatives and community-at-large representatives) will end on June 15, 2028 for those elected to the four regional seats, and for up to four community-at-large candidates who receive the most support (as determined by the criteria established for the elections; see [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter#2.4. Elections</tvar>|section 2.4 of the U4C charter]]). In the case where more than four regional or community-at-large members have been elected, the additionally elected candidates who did not receive the most support will serve one-year terms ending on June 15, 2027.

=== Further information for candidates === 


'''Time commitment''': The expected time commitment is around 4 hours per week. There are also, on average, two voice meetings for the whole committee per month; members working on a particular case or initiative may also choose to hold a meeting.


'''Communication:''' Per the UCoC, English knowledge is not required. While the committee currently communicates primarily in English, committee members work to support any members with lower levels of English knowledge. Committee work currently happens primarily on the U4C wiki and Discord; UCoC members also need access to the [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/VRT</tvar>|Volunteer Response Ticketing system]].


'''Anticipated work:''' Over the next year, the U4C will continue to establish systems and processes in order to handle its preventive and responsive work. Additionally there has been a steady increase in U4C cases over the past year and this is expected to continue increasing. Candidates are encouraged to read [[<tvar name="1">:m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases</tvar>|past cases]] to learn more about the kinds of requests the U4C receives. There is a lot of opportunity for U4C members to work on other initiatives that interest them within the U4C's [[<tvar name="2">:m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter#4.2.1. Jurisdiction</tvar>|jurisdiction]].

=== Questions for candidates === 


Eligible voters can ask questions to all candidates on the '''[[<tvar name="1">Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2026/Questions</tvar>|Questions page]]'''. Voters are asked to post no more than 2 (two) relevant questions per candidate (in total; i.e. all questions a candidate needs to answer are counted), and keep them as concise and relevant as possible. Candidates are asked to answer as briefly and simply as possible.

=== Campaigning rules ===

'''METU Northern Cyprus Campus Wikipedia Society''', is a formally established extra-curriculum student society at [[:en:Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus|Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus]]. Dedicated to promoting open knowledge, the society actively engages in Wikipedia and its sister platforms and the importance of free-licensing. We also intent to recruit new volunteers and assist inexperienced users through the guidance of experienced users. This society stands as the first student group in Cyprus focused on advancing Wikipedia and open knowledge initiatives.

The society was applied to establish in May 2023 and officially established on November 8, 2023. It is also a member chapter of Youth Mappers since 2024.

== Aim ==
Our aim is to expand the Wikimedia community in Cyprus and promote the creation and sharing of open knowledge by focusing on themes related to Cyprus across Wikimedia projects, Wikipedia and its sister projects; we achieve this by holding regular meetings, engaging volunteers, and providing support and guidance to newcomers through the experience of our members.

== Questions for all candidates ==
===Q1===
Give a description of a candidate that, in your opinion, should or would in a U4C election,

* barely crosses the 60% threshold
* barely misses the 60% threshold

justifying your reasoning and stating any assumptions you make. [[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] ([[User talk:Leaderboard|talk]]) 06:00, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* I will answer rather humbly, because I'd rather not judge other candidates here. I have experience from other high-stakes elections (SE), but the main reasons some people go barely under the minimum treshold there (low cross-wiki experience etc.) are mostly not relevant here. However, for U4C specifically, I feel like a large factor in determining whether a candidate has a "good shot" is twofold - the statement and the answers to questions. From my experience, these two are what voters mostly look at, and as such it's generally one of these two that sink a candidate. For the "borderline" candidacies, my impression of what leads to them barely failing - or barely passing - is that their experience and matrix is heavy, but their answers to questions and/or statement falls short. If I remember correctly, we've also had users failing because they're running from a home wiki which already has two of their community members on the U4C, and would be overrepresented with a third - which can be a bit unfortunate but also understandable. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 08:10, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

* Personally, I think communication, experience, the candidate statement, and answers to questions matter the most here. While global contributions may also have an impact, I believe a candidate's familiarity with policies and processes, as well as their behavior and general conduct, are especially important. In my opinion, users who are not prone to conflict, act in good faith, and are able to find common ground tend to inspire more trust. Sincerely, [[User:Qədir|Qədir]] ([[User talk:Qədir|talk]]) 11:39, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

*Honestly, that description still doesn’t really map to me directly as a person or “label” me as either passing or failing. It more like describing a general type of candidate you see in U4C elections, not a specific individual. So I wouldn’t take it as something saying “this is you” or anything close to that. If I look at it in a personal way, the main point I take is that U4C isn’t just about being active or having edits, it’s more about trust, judgement, and how people feel you will act in difficult or sensitive situations. That part is what usually decides support or oppose. But saying it fits me specifically? I don’t think it’s accurate to say that from just that description alone. It’s too general, and elections are usually more complex than that anyway.*A candidate who barely crosses the 60% mark in a U4C election is usually someone the community mostly trusts, but not without a bit of hesitation here and there. [[User:Pharouqenr|Pharouqenr]] ([[User talk:Pharouqenr|Talk]]) 14:15, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* It depends on the voting system. Since it is a Securepoll election where voters can't see preliminary results and change their vote accordingly or react to preliminary results, both options are in the same margin of error of typical qualification metrics. E.g. 59% is almost as good as 61%, with no statistically significant difference, because the values may switch if voted on another day. Therefore, the first candidate is almost as suitable to voters as the second with no big difference, but there technically needs to be a cut-off. This is very different in typical wiki elections, where voters can react to the openly visible preliminary results. But to get back to the question about a suitable candidate's qualifications: a certain amount of community trust. Now voters are very heterogenous. My personal preferences for a U4C member would be: experiences with conflict management/resolution and teamwork. And, coming from a wiki where an arbcom member only needs >50% support, i personally would not expect too many qualifications from a candidate, because the group brings a lot of different qualifications to the table and everyone learns from everone else. The U4C colleagues also love to help, in my experience. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 14:47, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* The candidates' answers to questions and the candidate statement are significant and increases/decreases the support votes. The candidate's judgement skills, and intentions are very decisive. Every contributor is important but showing your competency and accuracy to the community has an impact on the candidate's votes. Regards.--[[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 16:52, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* My impression is that a large degree of what leads to getting over the 60% mark is the answers to the questions primarily. A candidate who answers questions from the community in a satisfactory manner to said community members is, in my impression, going to receive more favorable results, because the questions afford the community the ability to see the candidate's judgement on full display, for better or for worse. This leads somewhat into the reasons a candidate could miss that 60% threshold. The first would obviously be poor answers to the community, to which they should be accountable. Another would also be, as EPIC has already mentioned above, the home-wiki of the candidate, as some voters prefer to not have a U4C composition relying too heavily on a singular or a few home-wikis. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 18:00, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Several factors come to play when voters decide on a candidate: past activity, years and depth of experience in general and with respect to other candidates, I think a candidate who barely crosses the 60% threshold is someone who might have given unsatisfactory answers during the elections, and/or had past problematic behavior that led part of the voters to vote against, or the candidate wasn't able to convince voters that these past problematic decisions or behavior have been overcome, that he or she changed his/her attitude for the better. Same thing for the candidate who misses the threshold, here just a bit larger group of voters voted against.--[[User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح Mohamed Ahmed]] ([[User talk:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|talk]]) 20:25, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* I think my opinion on a candidate who should barely cross/miss the threshold is different to who ''would'' in reality. I personally as a voter treat the answers to the questions as more important than other factors like committee or functionary experience because they have the opportunity to shine through and actually show how they would act on the committee to everyone else. So on that, I think a candidate who just misses the 60% threshold should be one who has the given related experience but answers to the questions are lacklustre, and a candidate that just crosses is one that has less administrative experience than is ideal (plenty of admin experience and less committee experience) but reasonable answers. In reality, as we saw in 2025 as EPIC already mentioned, we had a good candidate who was, at least publicly, somewhat punished for his dewiki ArbCom background (as we already have two former dewiki ArbCom members on the committee) and missed getting in by two support votes, and he wouldn't be the type of candidate that I would put on this boundary level particularly given the number of members we have at the minute. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 23:20, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Hello, My answer would be neither should be judged on the percentage alone. A candidacy should be taken based on the quality of candidates answers, their interactions with the community, their local administrative experience, and their cross-wiki contributions and conduct. Running U4C candidacy needs to have a person who is open-minded, responsible, respectable, safe, and efficient. Some candidates who barely miss the 60% threshold, or even score much lower, may still possess the qualities needed for the role. There are many reasons not to achieve the percentage. 
: In short, the threshold does not always capture the full picture of a candidate’s potential or their value to the movement. 
: Otherwise, if you are looking for straight answer for the question, in the perfect situation, the user contributions on wikiprojects, answers and attitude he is doing would reflect on the percentage of elections; thus, I would go for who had higher voting, and that is what U4C elections are now (60% or more).
: On the other hand, more practically, several issues affect candidacy, like not being able to reflect clearly on the answers, which could lead to barely missing the threshold; thus, giving this opportunity to the user could lead to having a really good user in position.--[[User:SanBonne|SanBonne]] ([[User talk:SanBonne|talk]]) 23:35, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Many candidates have already given great answers on this, so I don't really have much new to add. In my view, a candidate who barely crosses the 60% threshold typically has solid relevant experience and mostly good answers to questions, but leaves some voters with slight reservations. A candidate who barely misses the threshold is often very similar in background, yet their responses possibly come across as slightly less convincing to just enough voters. I assume that in such close cases the quality and nuance of the answer usually make the difference as they best demonstrate judgment and trustworthiness.--[[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 23:59, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Hi, thanks for the question. These kinds of doubts are challenging because we are not talking only about a username; we're discussing the effort, time, and willingness to be a volunteer in a committee. Being a volunteer member in any committee represents a tough challenge, both in terms of online participation and in the real world. If a person barely makes it in the election, they might face a challenge of perceived legitimacy. While the person is elected, the narrow approval suggests that their election is not universal. In this case, the member should put additional effort into transparency and community engagement, because sometimes case resolutions impact specific communities, and some of them seem to be too silent to support or give feedback to the U4C. On the other hand, if a person loses the election by 1%, it is a discouraging moment for the volunteer. The person puts in the effort and time, so they see not being elected as an immediate failure. But this failure is not only for the candidate; the community also needs to reflect on why that person missed the seat. What do we need to ask regarding the capacity or conditions to be met when choosing someone for this committee?. To complement this, I believe we must also consider whether the current voting system truly reflects the diversity needed within the U4C. At times, the raw 60% threshold fails to show if we are losing a mediation expert or a representative from a key region—factors that are just as vital as the percentage itself. [[User:Superzerocool|Superzerocool]] ([[User talk:Superzerocool|talk]]) 13:14, 11 May 2026 (UTC) (ps: I used AI to correct grammar)
* IMO the difference between 59.5% and 60.5% is actually very small in practice. I don't think it's possible to definitively determine why someone passed or failed because of just 1%p. A failed candidate may have had less experience than the successful candidate. Or, may simply have failed to present their qualifications effectively. They may also have had conflicts with several users, or perhaps some users who were unfamiliar with the candidate simply didn't like the candidate's username. Nevertheless setting a 60% threshold is the fairest method because it applies equally to everyone. A candidate may be lucky or unlucky, but in the end, they still need to continue proving their suitability for the role. [[user:기나ㅏㄴ|<ruby><rb>𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷</rb><rt>기나ㅏㄴ</rt></ruby>]]([[user talk:기나ㅏㄴ|T]]/[[special:contributions/기나ㅏㄴ|C]]) 15:22, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
* To be honest judging other participants is a little bit uncomfortable for me, because the idea of this vote is not to get more points, but to choose the best candidates. In my opinion, the decisive factors are the candidate's experience and his statement along with the answers to the questions. Since the expectations of voters vary greatly, it is difficult to clearly assess what a given group expects. For me personally, the most important thing is the candidate's experience and a factor that I don't think anyone mentioned: red flags on websites such as [[User:Giraffer/U4C2026]] or [[User:SHB2000/U4C guide 2026]]. Barely crossing the 60% mark may indicate some issues, though not necessarily disqualifying. However, I personally wouldn't consider failing to reach the 60% mark a failure, but rather a victory for the better candidate. [[User:Ptjackyll|'''ptjackyll''']] ([[User talk:Ptjackyll|''leave a message'']]) 19:36, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

* Many factors can influence voters’ opinions to different degrees. I will leave aside [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2026/Candidates guide|objective elements]], such as previous experience and any past problematic behavior, which surely carry more weight. A candidate, especially if they are not already well-known, has limited space to present themselves clearly and honestly, and to answer questions. In my opinion, these two things are important not only to show the candidate’s familiarity with conflict resolution and policy management, but also because they help understand their judgment and personal attitude. For this kind of role, I would expect a candidate capable of projecting a calm, thoughtful, and detail-oriented approach, aimed cooling down tense situations rather than imposing their own personality. The work should be collaborative and well-coordinated, so that it can be effective and carried out within reasonable timeframes. I think a candidate may cross the 60% threshold if they have sufficient experience and generally good answers, but still leave some doubts among part of the voters. A candidate who barely misses the threshold may have a similar profile, but fail to clearly convey balance, reliability, or ability to work in delicate situations. The difference can therefore be minimal: not only a matter of experience, but also of what the candidate manages to convey. I also think that more external factors can play a role, such as the size of one’s home wiki or the risk of overrepresentation of the same community. --[[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 22:26, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

* My observation is that U4C elections are heavily trust based. Although competence and policy knowledge matter, voters would also look for neutrality, and the ability to work respectfully. Because of that, even capable candidates may end up near the threshold if the broader qualities are not met from the community point of view. There can be many reasons why voters may not support otherwise qualified candidates, including simply not being familiar with them. I do not believe in a case where a difference of one or two votes reflects a tangible difference. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 16:24, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

* The answers to who should pass and who would pass are unfortunately different. The community has thus far been very cautious in choosing U4C members. As a result, the U4C has struggled to maintain quorum, let alone a consistent and sustainable level of activity. In my view, candidates need to be experienced with dispute resolution; familiar with the expectations for use of administrative and functionary tools; and able to engage respectfully with communities and cultures they are unfamiliar with. Recent sanctions for misconduct are disqualifying. Candidates with additional experience, such as serving on an Arbitration Committee, may do better. Three candidates in past elections barely missed the threshold. I don't think voters need my analysis of each unique situation, but I do not have any reason to believe those three editors were not fit for serving on the U4C. '''[[User:Toadspike|Toadspike]] [[User talk:Toadspike|[Talk]]]''' 07:56, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:A candidate who barely crosses the 60% threshold would likely be someone who is generally trusted, communicates respectfully, and shows the ability to remain neutral in difficult situations, even if they have some weaknesses such as limited cross-wiki experience or controversial past decisions. The community may have reservations, but still see them as capable of acting fairly and responsibly within the U4C.
:A candidate who barely misses the 60% threshold would probably be someone with useful experience and strong activity, but whose behavior raises concerns about neutrality, communication style, or consistency in applying rules. In such cases, the community may doubt whether the person can effectively build trust across different communities.
:My assumption is that trust, impartiality, and ability to work with diverse communities are the main factors voters consider in U4C elections / [[User:Artemev Nikolay|Artemev Nikolay]] ([[User talk:Artemev Nikolay|talk]]) 06:34, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
:A candidate who has good reputation and deep experience. Apart from just communication and interractions skills, a candidate should have knowledge of how to navigate Wikipedia, conduct on-wiki investigation and has a profound knowledge of Wikimedia Guidelines. Hardwork and consistency is also a key to getting over 60% because without them, a candidate may not be able to commit 100% in handling cases, investigating complains and drafting the UCoC best practices etc. therefore editing skills and understanding of the U4C scope are very crucial. [[User:Uncle Bash007|Uncle Bash007]] ([[User talk:Uncle Bash007|talk]]) 11:01, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
* A candidate who barely crosses the 60% threshold, in my opinion, would be someone with strong experience in Wikimedia governance and community work, but who may also have some concerns raised about communication style, availability, or past decisions. For example, the candidate may have experience as a user with extended rights, and demonstrate a clear understanding of the Universal Code of Conduct and conflict resolution processes. They may also show willingness to collaborate across communities and learn from feedback. However, some voters might hesitate due to limited global experience, controversial decisions in the past, or concerns about neutrality. Despite these concerns, the candidate would still gain enough trust from the community because of their overall commitment, transparency, and constructive contributions. A candidate who barely misses the 60% threshold could be someone who is passionate and active in the movement, but whose experience or preparedness for the role appears limited to many voters. For example, the candidate may have good intentions and local community involvement, but lack demonstrated experience in handling sensitive conflicts, governance processes, or cross-community collaboration. In some cases, concerns about communication, impartiality, or understanding of the UCoC could make voters uncertain about their readiness for the responsibilities of the U4C. Even if the candidate has potential and community support, the level of confidence required for such a sensitive global role may not yet be strong enough to reach the threshold.[[User:Olimasy|Olimasy]] ([[User talk:Olimasy|talk]]) 18:56, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

===Q2===
This question is about the following item listed in the UCoC under "Expected behavior": ''"Looking out for fellow contributors: Lend them a hand when they need support, and speak up for them when they are treated in a way that falls short of expected behaviour as per the Universal Code of Conduct."''
How do you approach this principle when doing so may put you at odds with people in positions of power, such as administrators? Do you have any examples (share the diffs please, if possible; examples that show some power difference, e. g. before you became an admin or from a project where you are not an admin would be preferred) of situations where you followed this principle even under such circumstances? Also, do you have any general thoughts about the risks that this may put our community members in, if they choose to follow this principle?

* Users should be respectful of local communities, especially communities they do not know or are not part of. As a steward, since we are not arbitrators or mediators, I am generally quite conflict-averse and tend to refrain from interfering in communities where my input may be negatively received. From my experiences in that role, we have occasionally been dragged into issues where global community members have gotten into conflicts with a local community. In such cases, our principle is to do the minimum necessary, redirect the issue to the relevant bodies, and being especially careful with making comments or taking actions. Many of these times, the same applies to the U4C. While one will regularly deal with complex cases as a U4C member, the U4C is a coordination committee and not a medcom. If one is unsure about something, one should discuss it with others (and possibly leave it to someone more suited to handle it), which is especially important for this committee, given that a lot of the work consists of off-wiki discussion and coordination. That is one of the reasons why the U4C needs more than the minimum, given that some members may have personal involvement or may lack other important factors (such as language/community knowledge).

* Administrators are still members of the community, and so should be approached with the same respect and good faith given to any member of a community. Certainly there are those who are either more or less reasonable than others, but I do not see that as necessarily being reflected solely by the holding of advanced permissions. While I acknowledge the idea of [[w:social capital|social capital]], and in some cases it does play a part in decisions, it should not, and the continual pursuit of someone who hopes to improve the wiki should be to minimize the amount that social capital plays a role. I don't disagree, though, with the general idea that it can be daunting for some to speak up to behavior that falls short of the expectation the UCoC esablishes, because many are conflict-adverse, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

* In my view, administrators are contributors whose main task is to keep the project clean. Beyond the few technical tools they have access to, they are not hierarchically superior or more powerful than any other user. Being an admin is not what matters most; what truly counts is acting with common sense, justice, and neutrality. Every community member is protected by project policies, and no one should be looked down upon by administrators. In this journey, which I find very meaningful, we are a small group of volunteers, and we must ensure that no one feels pushed away from the platform. Therefore, our policies must always come first.--[[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 22:46, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

*During my admin role on Arabic Wikipedia, I have dealt with several situations that relate to this principle. The first action is reaching an appropriate page for discussion (village pump, users’ page, discussion of the article, etc.) to understand the situation and ensure transparency and allow all parties to be heard and help to approach the point of view, whether they are admins or newcomers who have a conflict. If they are admins or newcomers, I believe they have the same standards that should be applied. I prefer not to share any links for the bad attitudes of the users because I believe that won’t support my answer and could revive old conflicts or affect other users badly. Mentioning that, this behavior should be done with neutrality and respect for the policies.
:There are real risks that could be faced when doing this role, such as reporting against me to different charters from the local community to the international one, and it could even sometimes affect your life outside the Wikimediaverse.
:In short, this principle should be handled with neutrality, fairness, courage, and responsibility to the rights we handle. [[User:SanBonne|SanBonne]] ([[User talk:SanBonne|talk]]) 23:32, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

* I believe that every user is equal and that their rights should be protected. Any user should be able to raise concerns to the U4C, and naturally, if there is a genuine issue, it should be reviewed carefully and a decision should be made accordingly. Outside of serious cases, however, I do not think local wikis should be interfered with too easily. In my view, such matters should first be communicated to the relevant project and the involved administrator(s), and the necessary steps should primarily be taken by the local community or the parties involved.

: I just want to point out that, before I became an admin, there was a page where admins made important decisions among themselves. (This page had existed for many years.) However, since some of those decisions affected the whole community, I opposed this practice. Even after becoming an admin, I held the same view and opened a discussion to abolish that page, which was eventually done. Later, I created a new page where the entire community could participate in decision-making, and it was accepted. My objection was based on the idea that admins are not more important than other users. I was also concerned that they could, like anyone else, make biased decisions and that there was a risk of decisions being influenced by informal grouping. Sincerely, [[User:Qədir|Qədir]] ([[User talk:Qədir|talk]]) 00:35, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

* Generally, when asked personally about a conflict, i give advice via Wikimail. This permits to ask for problems that i may have overlooked. The private setting of the conversation has some advantages: a more open communication and no interference. But when giving advice privately, please keep in mind that email content can be published at some point. In my time before i became an arb in 2014 (i became arb first, then admin in 2019), i often did not have enough experience to feel safe giving advice without making a fool out of myself. Gradually, by communicating with others, reading discussions, and reading the rule pages over and over i learned the possibilites and limitations, and ways to change things without causing much conflict. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 04:59, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

*For me, “looking out for fellow contributors” means trying to help users to improve when they make mistake, especially new editors, while also making sure vandalism or disruptive edit are handled properly.
:When I deal with vandalism cases, I normally start with warnings and explanations first, so the user can understand what was wrong and how to edit correctly. If the behavior continues after warning, then I may escalate it based on local policies.
:Some examples of warnings I gave are [https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tattaunawar_user:Zahrah0&diff=671925&oldid=572499 here] and [https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tattaunawar_user:Abubakar_Yusuf_Gusau&diff=807965&oldid=735544 here]
:In those situations, my aim was not just to warn them, but also to guide them so they can contribute better and to also understand the project rules.
:I also reviewed a cases where a user later improved and I removed the block after seeing changes in the behavior: see it [https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Musamman:Log&logid=169346 here]
:I believe enforcement should not only be about punishment, but also giving all people opportunity to improve if they are willing to follow all the rules.
:In situations involving more experienced users or disagreements, I always try to stay calm and focuses more on policy and evidence instead of personal arguments.
:I think there can be risks sometimes, like misunderstandings or disagreements from other users, but I still believe it is important to apply policies fairly and consistently for everybody. [[User:Pharouqenr|Pharouqenr]] ([[User talk:Pharouqenr|Talk]]) 06:04, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
*After I became director of our regional user group I was responsible for enforcing the Friendly Space Policy and UCoC at all offline meetings and events. During this journey, some participants had been around much longer than me, had way higher social capital or had even held very senior positions including former Board members and Trustees. Even then, whenever I received reports of harassment or inappropriate behaviour I still stepped in. I believe that once you accept the responsibility you also accept the duty to protect fellow contributors even if it means upsetting some very popular or influential people. To me, it is important to focus on the issue not the person.
:In one zhwiki ArbCom case we had, an editor reported problematic behaviour by a user who had a lot of support. While handling that case I insisted that all evidence be anonymized and the whole matter be discussed and reviewed privately, if we have to disclose something it must be deidentified to protect the reporter from backlash. Even if that person can easily influence other editors to vote me out in the next ArbCom election, I still do what I have to do. In the end I keep my seat because I did what I should have done.
:I know there are real risks for anyone who follows this principle. People who get sanctioned can retaliate because they feel they have nothing left to lose. But I think that’s why those of us who have extra responsibilities and permissions should use them to help protect more vulnerable members. -[[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 09:48, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
* I believe this principle is part of the nature of Wikipedia: collaboration. Sometimes we have biases in our way of seeing the world, and people are not always impartial, so having more voices in the discussion helps us to be clearer and more focused on a possible case resolution. The possibility of helping others to create a more friendly and easy-going Wikimedia space is the goal for this project. Because Wikipedia and its sister projects are made by humans, we will speak, discuss, and disagree more frequently than we might think. Therefore, being a team or committee member is not only about reading cases and being a judge; it is about being part of the community, reading, and trying to understand others before seeking the 'best solution possible' for the parties involved. Sometimes we need more empowered voices to speak up for others. While this kind of behavior might seem rude in some online spaces, in our project, we should see it as a fundamental part of building human knowledge. My guiding principle is to hear or read everyone before making a statement. Following the rules —informed by my past experience as a public official in real life— and being clear about decisions and their implications is the best way to de-escalate conflicts. I don't know everything, so I always strive to reach a consensus with others before making a final statement or resolution.

:@[[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] There are many examples where I tried to object to a wrong block decision by other admins, or report what I see as offences by other members who are admins. The most recent of which are with the temp arb committee that has been established in ArWiki, check [[w:ar:Special:diff/72226835|this message]] where I have reported what I saw as provocative remarks made by 2 parties. If you check further in the following history of this talk page, I have sent private emails, some of which were reporting and contrasting the way non-admins are treated compared to admins with respect to the blocking for behavioral violations, one other email I reported a very questionable block that turned out to be just plain wrong. There are many past examples for me, unfortunately this kind of action is not received reasonably by some. Words like obstructionism عرقلة or futile discussion نقاش عقيم has been used when participating in such discussions.
:Of course there are risks involved when speaking up, one risks being called an obstructionist, or being threatened with a block. But for myself, I find it very hard not to object to some act that I know is wrong, and as member with years of experience and an admin, one has an additional duty to speak up to try to remove injustice. [[User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح Mohamed Ahmed]] ([[User talk:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|talk]]) 23:18, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
* We have to recognise that as much as I don't like to say it, admins are in a position of power, with that they can really deter new users as well, so if I see a situation where I believe an admin is misusing their rights or scaring away a new user, I will tell them. I have been doing this since before I became an admin on my homewiki and continued to do when I was an admin even if it technically put me "at odds" with other admins that had been around for longer than me. On our wiki we had a case where an admin repeatedly deleted pages without providing explanation in policy to the point it likely deterred quite a few other users and could even count as a UCoC violation under 3.3 that I addressed numerous times. There was another case where a new user's pages were nuked for complexity (which is important to avoid on Simple English Wikipedia) and threatened with blocks but the pages weren't complex as it first seemed and it seemed a clear bite, so I restored the pages and tried to ease the new user. I would prefer not to link these as all these contributors are no longer active so I don't want to give them a ton of visibility, but as you did ask for diffs I'd be willing to send them to ElectCom and yourself privately to verify these happened if needed. Individual communities should be ensuring that all users aren't scared to scrutinise other admins' actions so concerns aren't immediately written off, so there should ideally be no risk for community members, though I appreciate even on my own homewiki in the distant past there have been cases of blocks made for simply questioning other abusive blocks. In cases where the community feel scared to report UCoC violations, this is where the U4C can step in as reports can be made anonymously. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 00:10, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
* First of all, I don't consider users with advanced permissions, such as administrators, to be "people in power." Users with permissions and users without them should naturally be treated equally. However there are sometimes users who misunderstand advanced permissions as authority and act accordingly. In such cases, I think the system is generally designed well enough that, if the UCoC is properly followed, the issue can be resolved either at the community level or, in more serious situations, through outside intervention from the Foundation, stewards, the U4C, or similar bodies.{{pb}}I have had several experiences mediating between admins and non-adminis. The most memorable case for me was one in which an admin blocked non-admin user during an ongoing dispute. After the block the blocked user appealed it, and I first listened to the arguments from both sides. While I thought there were some understandable aspects to the block, I ultimately concluded the admin had misused their tools in this case. A more detailed explanation of my reasoning can be found at [[ko:특수:GoToComment/c-기나ㅏㄴ-20250715035400-차단_재검토|this link]]. Even after the unblock, lengthy discussions continued. But in the end, the two users reconciled and the matter was resolved without major issues.{{pb}}Although this is simply a matter of following basic principles, it's not always easy to conclude that an admin's judgment was wrong and to overturn that decision. Nevertheless I believe it is more important to trust the community's systems and follow established principles. In the end, I believe that following these principles generally leads to better outcomes.

* Disagreeing with an administrator or someone with significant influence in the community is always difficult, especially if the other user chooses to ignore you, although there is no hierarchy in between user groups. I believe in good faith, and I prefer to assume that people may not realize the impact of their actions, but I also have never hesitated to share my opinion. Especially when I believe that an incorrect action has been taken. I prefer not to share links to past conflicts here. My approach is always to focus on the action and the policy, rather than the individuals. Speaking up against someone in a position of power could have unwanted effects, such as retaliation or burnout, which I have witnessed throughout my journey. Disagreeing with anyone should not carry any risks. This is precisely why the UCoC and bodies like this committee matter. I believe the committee has a responsibility to ensure that reporting mechanisms are accessible and take all concerns seriously, regardless of who is involved. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 16:57, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
* Perceiving people with higher privileges, such as administrators, as people in power is unfortunately a common misunderstanding of their role. I can provide an example that affected me personally. Until 2024, I was a person without higher rights, after my resignation two years earlier. During that time, a situation arose in which I became involved in a matter involving the activity of two other users. One of the administrators at the time, who defended their position, [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specjalna:Rejestr?type=block&user=PG&page=Wikipedysta%3APtjackyll&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= blocked] my account for one day. After about 90 minutes another administrator [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specjalna:Rejestr?type=block&user=Piastu&page=Wikipedysta%3APtjackyll&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= removed] the ban and the case finally ended in Arbitration Comittee. ArbCom [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Komitet_Arbitrażowy/Wnioski_o_arbitraż/(4/2022)_ptjackyll_–_PG decided] that the blocking administrator's permissions has to revoked. This situation taught me that the position of an administrator is sometimes poorly perceived by themselves and can easily lead to abuse. However, because the creation of free content on Wikimedia projects is based on collaboration, members of the Coordination Committee must listen to the arguments of the parties involved and understand their situation. [[User:Ptjackyll|'''ptjackyll''']] ([[User talk:Ptjackyll|''leave a message'']]) 19:41, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

* An administrator (and similar advanced permissions) should only have a technical role, but since these are usually experienced users who have received the community’s trust, their opinions often carry a lot of weight, sometimes too much.
:Both recently and when I was just a user, I have had discussions with users and administrators with stronger personalities who were difficult to deal with, but never anything that became a violation. However, I have seen users struggle to express their opinion when they feel like they're facing a wall, and in most cases they simply leave the discussion. Sometimes this imbalance can create unhealthy dynamics. In these situations, it is important to discuss the facts and focus on the content rather than attacking people. If the basic principles are not respected, most projects usually have dedicated pages and procedures where the issue can be brought for a more neutral evaluation and possible checks.
:We should always keep respectful relationships, not only in our local community, but especially when we are guests in another one. In that situation, if I came across a problematic situation, I would avoid immediately stepping into the conflict, at least until it becomes necessary. I would first prefer to speak with a trusted local user or direct the issue to a competent local body, also to make communication easier and respect local procedures. If I saw that the situation kept getting worse and nobody intervened, then I would step in personally, mainly trying to calm the situation down. In these cases, I think it is important to distinguish between supporting a person, verifying the facts, and managing the conflict correctly: supporting someone does not automatically mean agreeing with them, but making sure they can express themselves and be heard fairly. I think speaking against influential users can have a cost, and this is also why communities should try to make it safer to do so. --[[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 22:19, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

*I am not afraid of standing up for what is right. Perhaps the best example is [[c:Commons:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Nathannah|this one]], where I argued against an erroneous CheckUser result which led to two incorrect blocks on a project where I have no extended rights. On my home wiki, I have reviewed (and criticized) administrative actions since long before I was an administrator. Some examples: [[w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2024_December_2|1+2]], [[w:en:User_talk:Daniel_Case/Archive_27_4/15/2025-3/21/2026#Semi-protection_of_First_Saudi_state|3]], [[w:en:User_talk:Ritchie333/Archive_139#Close_of_WP:Articles_for_deletion/2024_Nepal_Premier_League_(2nd_nomination)|4]], and [[w:en:User_talk:Ritchie333/Archive_140#-ington|5]]; the last, about respecting consensus on other projects, seems especially relevant.
:The first step of helping others is ensuring one's own safety. I generally trust that people we put in positions of responsibility will not retaliate against me, but if another contributor does not feel safe providing help to a fellow editor or standing up to someone in a position of power, ''we should not expect them to do so''. This is reflected in the UCoC, which lists "looking out for fellow contributors" as a behavior we "strive for", not an inflexible rule. Instead, we should provide a way for such contributors to report their concerns privately to the people responsible for resolving such issues, be that other local admins, a local ArbCom, the U4C, or another body.

:I believe the UCoC should apply equally to everyone, including administrators and experienced users. If I see unfair or disrespectful treatment, I try to address it calmly, neutrally, and based on policy rather than status.
:I also understand that speaking up against people in positions of power can be difficult and may create risks for contributors, especially in smaller communities. That is why it is important to build an environment where users can raise concerns safely and without fear of retaliation.

* I may not have a single public example with diffs that perfectly demonstrates this , my experience as a Swahili Wikipedia administrator, community Event organiser, has involved situations where I had to support contributors, encourage respectful engagement, and help navigate tensions within diverse communities. These experiences taught me the importance of listening carefully, remaining neutral, and ensuring that contributors feel heard and safe. I believe this principle is essential for maintaining healthy Wikimedia communities. In practice, supporting fellow contributors sometimes requires speaking up even when the situation involves experienced users, administrators, or other people in positions of trust. I approach such situations carefully and respectfully, focusing on behavior and policy rather than personalities. My goal is usually to help de-escalate conflict, encourage fair treatment, and ensure that discussions remain respectful and inclusive.

=== Q4 ===
A Dutch Wikipedia user consistently refuses to use die/diens despite a user preferring use of those pronouns on their talk page. They do so on the basis that as an [[wikipedia:nl:NT2|NT2]] user, they are unfamiliar with such usage and prefer to stick with "standard" language (which would be gender-specific). Using the U4C charter, your research into nl.wikipedia when answering this question, and anything else you find relevant, give your opinion to this issue. Will your answer change if the user is a native speaker of Dutch?

''Note that the standard expected is that of a U4C member that is presenting their first thoughts, after researching on this matter. Assume that merely referring to the community or using the Dutch ArbCom is not an option. It is important to share your thought process and reasoning for this question.''

* The argument NT2 is insufficient for repetition. There are tools that can help rephrase, and the correct form is easy to learn. For a native speaker, the arguments for repetition are even weaker, there were none given. So, the first step is to warn. Then we will see. In case of repetition, other options will be discussed. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 20:03, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* If a user explicitly states that they want to others to use gender-neutral pronouns when referring to them, others should respect that. Obviously no one is going to be dwelling on a single mistaken pronoun use, but point 2.1 explicitly calls for respect of other editors and adressing fellow editors with their desired pronouns is in my opinion one of the minimums in that end - and as already brought up, it is easy to remember the correct pronouns and rephrase accordingly as needed. This applies regardless of whether they are NT2 or native, but even more so for the latter. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 20:20, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* Everyone should be respectful to each other's preferred gender pronouns and gender identities. It does not matter the user is a native speaker or not. Researching and finding the needed information is easy in nowadays. Therefore, with assuming good faith, the user should be warned firstly. If the user continues after a warning without a valid explanation and repeats the wrong pronoun, other choices will and should be considered.--[[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 21:09, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* The fact that they've consistently refused means they have already been told it is an issue, so they are actively choosing to misgender the user. As a consequence, I would treat that mistake just as if they were a native user. I'd warn them and if they then continued, blocks would probably follow quickly. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 22:45, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* Since this user has an intermediate level of Dutch, the initial mispronouns may be understandable. However, if they received an explanation for the error and continue to make it, this is considered as a disrespectful behavior, contrary to section 2.1, point 3 of the UCoC. If appealing to the Arbitration Committee or the community is not an option, the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the U4C, and the first step is a warning. If the user were a native speaker, I would be even a little less lenient, as the argument of lack of language proficiency doesn't apply here. [[User:Ptjackyll|'''ptjackyll''']] ([[User talk:Ptjackyll|''leave a message'']]) 07:59, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

*To me a warning always comes first, because a user can make some mistake without noticing. So if the same mistake was repeated a block is the right decision. [[User:Pharouqenr|Pharouqenr]] ([[User talk:Pharouqenr|Talk]]) 09:53, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

*Assuming that person is already well informed about the preferred pronouns and repeatedly refusing to use them.
:I believe the U4C has jurisdiction in this matter given that the local decision-making body (arbcom) is not being used here and because of UCoC section 2.1 Mutual respect: {{quote| “Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves. … People who identify with a certain sexual orientation or gender identity using distinct names or pronouns … As a sign of respect, use these terms when communicating with or about these people, where linguistically or technically feasible.”}}
:Looking into [[:wikt:die#Dutch]] and [[:en:Gender_neutrality_in_languages_with_grammatical_gender]]: while it is not yet the most common standard form it is linguistically feasible. The not standard Dutch argument therefore does not override the UCoC expectation once the preference has been clearly communicated.
:The key factor here is consistency of refusal after being informed. Initial mistakes by an NT2 Dutch as a second language editor is totally understandable. However once the user has been told the preferred pronouns, the language proficiency defence loses most of its weight. If someone is competent enough to edit and communicate on the Dutch Wikipedia then they surely are capable of learning and applying a small number of specific pronouns or rephrasing sentences accordingly. A final warning should be given to cease this behaviour immediately and a block will be applied if such behavior occurs again (native or not).—[[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 11:28, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

* I think they may not be aware of this, and if it is still consciously disregarded after a warning, then this is no longer something that can be tolerated. In my view, a warning should be given first, and then if it continues deliberately, a sanction could be applied or other options could be considered. Because we are all here to contribute and communicate within a framework of respect. Sincerely, [[User:Qədir|Qədir]] ([[User talk:Qədir|talk]]) 12:06, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

* Hi, sorry for being late. I'm aware of the key issue regarding not being fluent or a native speaker of a language; it can be very frustrating because you don't know if you're writing, talking, or referring to others respectfully or in a proper manner. In this case, I prefer to review the language nuances and understand the differences, examining the user's history to see if these problems are only due to a language barrier or if they are recurrent. After that, I'll try to reinforce the idea to the user about the proper manner to interact with others. If the person is a native speaker —as mentioned in the question— my evaluation process would be the same: we need to investigate, but in this case, I'm less empathetic about language differences, because the user knows the proper way to refer to others. This kind of interaction is not accepted and we can't tolerate it. In the decisions, I prefer to apply gradual measures when contacting, correcting, or imposing any sanction on users. Disagreeing or just misinterpreting a statement is very easy because we're using text-based communication, and being supportive is not the same as being tolerant.

* The use of a gendered pronoun against another user's preference is a problem, for reasons which others have pointed out already, namely being in violation of the UCoC considering the other person has already asked to have die/diens used instead. That the community is not available in this case is troubling, though the Dutch Arbitration Committee currently has no members, and thus the community lacks a high-level decision making body. While the possibility of a block or warning has been brought up, it's important to also remember that these aren't necessarily the only tools available for enforcing the U4C. It is entirely possible that there is no malice intended and a native speaker familiar with the nuances of pronoun use can explain their importance. I wouldn't think my answer would change for a native speaker, though I would want to know why, if they are a native speaker, they would insist that they are unfamiliar with die/diens usage. The rationale used of being NT2 does not seem to necessarily apply in the event the situation described was changed to that of the first user being a native speaker.

* Hello, Respect is essential in the Wikimedia projects and events, and using the appropriate pronouns is a reflection of this. Accordingly, I think fluency matters at first glance, but if the user mentions the correct way to be addressed, this should be respected and used. On the other hand, the speaker did not use the wrong pronoun by mistake, but insisted on it. Thus, from my point of view, this could be handled locally by the admins through warnings and then escalated to blocking the user, as it is violating the main policy: '''"Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves."''' that applies across all Wikimedia projects and events before being raised to the U4C.--[[User:SanBonne|SanBonne]] ([[User talk:SanBonne|talk]]) 15:31, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

* Article 2.1 of the code states Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves. If only look at the given scenario, if the user was warned properly, I don't see how the behaviour would be appropriate. Examining whether the user is genuinely confused or deliberately ignoring this preference would be necessary. Ultimately it might be considered as a UCoC violation. This is regardless of whether it is their native language. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 17:35, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

* I think after a clear warning that mentions the relevant passage from UCoC: 2.1 , if the user continues to use a pronoun other than the preferred by addressed users, this constitutes a violation of UCoC. After consultation with fellow members of U4C, sanctions might be applied. But the ruling in such case will have to take into account that it should be applied to all regions, with different culture backgrounds. I don't think that being a native speaker or a second-language learner plays a role in the case.--[[User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح Mohamed Ahmed]] ([[User talk:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|talk]]) 00:29, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

* It's possible to make a mistake with pronouns innocently and in good faith, especially if the user is not a native speaker. Even a native speaker could make a mistake the first time.
:I would start from the assumption of good faith and clarify the user's request, also because every language has different grammatical rules for expressing gender. If the user isn't a native speaker, I would like to make sure they have understood. If, after clear explanations and another reminder, the user continues to deliberately refuse those pronouns, then I would no longer consider it a simple linguistic difficulty, but a refusal of the principle of mutual respect required by the UCoC.
:In the case of a native speaker, my opinion would change more quickly, because after clear explanations it would be harder to argue that this is only a linguistic difficulty.
:At that point, the situation should be discussed in the most appropriate venue, if one exists on the project, or within the committee, while proportionally evaluating which measures are most appropriate for the specific case. --[[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 12:05, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
* Generally, actual cases handled by the U4C tend to be multifaceted, but since this is a simplified hypothetical scenario, it seems there is a somewhat expected direction for the answer.{{pb}}I don't know much about Dutch, so I looked into the matter a bit. From what I found, die/diens are gender-neutral pronouns, and [[w:Gender_in_Dutch_grammar#Gender-neutral language|their use in this way is a relatively recent development in Dutch]]. I think it is entirely possible that the user initially did not know that Dutch has gender-neutral pronouns. However, if they continue refusing to use those pronouns even after becoming aware of them, then it could be considered a violation of the UCoC regardless of whether they are an NT2 user or not. By the time the U4C becomes involved in such a case, it is unlikely to still be in the "initial misunderstanding" stage, so NT2 status would probably not carry much weight.{{pb}}That said, I'm not entirely sure how the U4C should ultimately handle such a case. I have thought about it for quite a while, and I think the response would depend on the severity and context of the actual UCoC violation. Broadly speaking, Ig the U4C should initially conclude the matter with a warning. Since the nlwiki ArbCom is not being utilized, then this appears to fall clearly within the type of situation where U4C intervention may become necessary. However, blocks should be used only as a last resort, and only if the same behavior continues even after a final warning from the U4C.

*I believe contributors should make a reasonable effort to respect another user’s stated pronouns, as this is part of maintaining a respectful environment under the UCoC.
:However, if the user is an NT2 Dutch speaker and genuinely unfamiliar with such language usage, I would first approach this as a communication and education issue rather than intentional misconduct. I would expect the user to try to adapt, avoid unnecessary misgendering, or use alternative neutral forms where possible.

:If the refusal becomes dismissive or intentional after repeated clarification, then it could become a UCoC concern.
:If the user is a native Dutch speaker, the explanation of unfamiliarity would carry less weight, but I would still focus mainly on behavior, intent, and willingness to cooperate / [[User:Artemev Nikolay|Artemev Nikolay]] ([[User talk:Artemev Nikolay|talk]]) 06:45, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
* If the user is an NT2 (non-native Dutch) speaker unfamiliar with “die/diens,” I would initially assume good faith, especially if there is no evidence of mockery or hostility. However, once informed of another contributor’s preferred pronouns, I believe contributors should still make a reasonable effort to communicate respectfully, such as using usernames or avoiding gendered pronouns if they are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with the requested forms. A complete refusal to make any accommodation after repeated discussions could become problematic because the impact may still feel exclusionary or disrespectful, regardless of intent. My assessment would likely differ if the user were a native Dutch speaker, since claiming inability to use or understand these pronouns would generally be less convincing and may raise concerns about unwillingness rather than language limitations. also I would avoid treating this as immediately punitive and would instead focus first on dialogue, education, and de-escalation. Overall, I think situations like this require balancing inclusion, cultural and linguistic context, good faith, and the responsibility to ensure contributors feel respected and safe within Wikimedia spaces. [[User:Olimasy|Olimasy]] ([[User talk:Olimasy|talk]]) 19:39, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
*This behavior is a violation of section 2.1 of the UCoC. Though a non-native speaker may need more information than a native speaker, there is otherwise no reason to treat them differently. Enforcement of the UCoC should first be handled by the local community, by providing information, warning, or sanctioning the user who refuses to respect the pronoun choice of another user. Your question instructs me to assume that referring to the community is not an option. Of course, the U4C would not simply assume this – it would examine what has gone wrong for the community to fail to stop this behavior. Depending on the underlying cause, the committee could take a targeted action such as those available to the local community, or it could recommend a systemic change, such as reworking local guidance or improving software to bring it in line with the UCoC. As an example, the U4C [[Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Announcements#MediaWiki|made such a recommendation]] for the MediaWiki software itself a year ago.

:Thanks for your question and I apologize that this might be a long text:
:Q1: Earlier I added [[m:Special:Diff/30514471|this section for transparency]]. I think it was a fair result given that at the time I lacked of community governance experience and people simply dont know who I was. I realized that the U4C has a broad jurisdiction and heavy responsibilities, so after I wasn't elected, I spent a lot of time observing the committee's work. I discovered that because U4C intervention inherently means a community or group is experiencing systemic failure, you have to be very precise about when to intervene and when to let the community resolve things themselves. This involves a lot of work assessing local community structures and practices, understanding the community's culture, and being extremely careful to ensure the UCoC applies while using local resolution channels as much as possible to encourage handling issues at the local level. The U4C work really tends toward deescalating situations and cooling down conflicts rather than playing the role of an active arbitrator. I believe that's why it's called the coordinating committee rather than something about enforcement. I think my work in the affiliation aspect (Hub, Usergroup) has equipped me with these skills since I have to understand what challenges they (affiliates and communities in our region) are facing and decide what resources we are distributing to them.
:Q2: After the [[m:Office actions/September 2021 statement|zhwiki OA2021 (Foundation's action)]], we saw a decline in the number of admins on zhwiki and users split into different factions accusing each other of connections to banned groups and applying labels. These conflicts multiplied and keep occupying the ANM, which created a vicious cycle where fewer people were willing to deal with disputes. However I don't think the Foundation's intervention was unnecessary. [[m:Office actions/September 2021 statement|As they said at the time]], the community was "captured". There were so many of them that it was basically impossible to get the disruptors out using fair voting mechanisms like RFDA or desysop (trust me we already tried that). But after that effective external intervention, the community also needed to fill in its own gaps. For a long time the establishment of an arbitration committee on Chinese Wikipedia had been rejected because people feared it would lead to oligarchy. In reality though, a large group of admins and functionaries gathered together could also easily form an underground government. Systemic failure happens because the system has vulnerabilities. This taught me that driving out individuals who exploit those vulnerabilities doesn't solve the systemic failure. In the end communities still need to think about how to prevent the breakdown of order. Thats why we have ArbCom now.
:Every Wiki project is unique and has its own culture, so looking at community situations purely from the perspective of one's homewiki can introduce bias. My experience with the ArbCom has shown me that we ourselves will almost always understand the root causes of behavioral problems, the full context of conflicts, and what led to them better than any external body. So I would think critically to ensure that intervention is necessary, unavoidable, and falls within the UCoC's scope. However ArbCom also taught me that when the potential impact is major, especially involving safety and privacy, effective intervention must happen quickly. The kind of community reform I mentioned can take a great deal of time, so in those situations I believe U4C intervention is still necessary and ideal. I hope to help the committee distinguish when strong intervention is needed and when it is better to provide the community with practical reform suggestions.

U4C was by some interpreted as a new global Arbitration Committee planned on top of the English Wikipedia local counterpart. Given your extensive involvement with enwiki what is your opinion on such stances? How would someone entrust you that being elected wouldn’t start an English Wikipedia oriented push in decision making? --'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 14:46, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:I tend to feel as though the {{tq|global Arbitration Committee}} interpretation is somewhat of a variance from the actual idea of the U4C. The U4C lacks essentially any authority on projects who already have a high-level decision-making body (ie: a local Arbitration Committee), and this is by design. The only exception to this is a determination that there has been a systemic failure, which is in general a high bar. Even in instances in which a high-level decision-making body does not exist and thus has not acted, the U4C only retains the authority to act on violations of the UCoC, not garden variety disputes. I'm not sure if I particularly understand what you mean by {{tq|an English Wikipedia oriented push}}, but decisions should be made based on a manner of thinking of what action (or lack thereof) will cause a party to return to compliance with the UCoC. They should not be based on loyalty to a particular project or its members. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 17:50, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]]: Thanks for your response. {{tq|an English Wikipedia oriented push}} was meant to represent all different fears that appeared as enwiki is even passively very influential on smaller projects through policy ideas and translation of its texts. Hence some users at the time thought that elected users from enwiki could even enlarge this "soft power". I am not accusing you (or anyone) of trying to influence in such a way, but I don't think your answer needs further clarification :) '''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 19:20, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

You're not an admin on your home wiki (which is perfectly fine for U4C). Reflecting on your last [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/EggRoll97 2|failed RfA]], do you see the issues raised in your second RfA to impose a hurdle as a U4C member? //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 01:21, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:I've looked through again with some time from it, and I don't think it will be a hurdle necessarily. With some exceptions (and certainly there are at least a notable couple), a large majority of the oppose !votes are in reference to content creation and deletion experience, which I tend to find is a more enwiki-specific criteria for adminship (or, more specifically, the weight given to such). For example, a few months after that RfA, I ended up becoming a sysop here on Meta. Even ''sans'' adminship, I certainly haven't stopped attempting to contribute in the best way I can to my homewiki. More relevant to whether it will be a hurdle, while I'm sure it can help in some matters, I don't think an admin bit specifically on one's homewiki is a necessity for a U4C member (as you have pointed out in your question as well).

:::RfA is a much different type of candidacy to an AELECT. Especially with being the first AELECT, and with only one comment necessarily being about content, this didn't give me a grounded perspective at the time of whether that was something that was sorely needed to improve on, or whether that was just something preferred by a smaller subset of !voters. It is clear I underestimated the amount of !voters for whom content creation (or, more accurately, lacking amounts of such) is a dealbreaker. I think AmandaNP's comment in the bureaucrat chat hit it on the head, in part {{tq|It's clear the community values EggRoll97's work in edit filters and other technical areas. However, candidates without breadth — particularly in content and community-facing experience — consistently struggle to gain consensus, as evidenced by the oppose section in this RfA.}} In fairness to many of the participants at the RfA, this is something I likely would've avoided if I had contacted a nominator beforehand.

::::I think that's what bothered me about the second run, your surprise to the well established expectations and norms regarding content work. To run without addressing that issue felt rather cavalier, given how many people we've seen fail for a lack of content work. In the discussion part of your first run, HJ Mitchell said {{tq|...normally I would want to see deeper experience from a prospective admin, and a bit more content work. GAs and FAs are nice, but anything that shows that you understand how core policies are applied is good; better still if you've had to make and defend an editorial decision.}} I also re-read [[:en:WP:Administrator elections/October 2024/Debrief#EggRoll97|your debrief from the first run]], which has 5 people supporting the need for more content work.

::::There's nuance to the pseudo-requirement of content on en-wiki, and it doesn't require a good article, it simply requires a demonstrated understanding of the core policies that are important to editors, and demonstrating an understanding of how those policies and guidelines are applied. If you failed to understand the expectations and requirement of a run at adminship, can we trust that you'll appropriately take all the information presented in a case, keep an open mind, and come to an appropriate conclusion? If you didn't feel comfortable reaching out to people for feedback before your RfA, will you feel comfortable reaching out to people for discussions for the U4C? It's not to say you make bad judgement calls or anything on a regular basis, I can't say that you do, but those are the thoughts that have been nagging at me since I saw you standing for the committee.

The U4C guidelines for this cycle included a requirement for adminship/high level rights. As of writing, you have 423 edits with sysop tools (i.e. on Meta since you were granted adminship).

:I believe ''some'' administrative experience is important, though certainly not the only qualifying factor. The U4C is a group of individuals, and by that measure, benefits from the varied experience of its members. I would posit that a member should be experienced ''in general'', though this does not necessarily just encompass administrative experience. I would personally assess my administrative experience as fairly good, though that's also coming from a place of self-assessment.

You have extensive experience handling various types of (long-term) abuse. How would you approach cases opened by long-term abusers ensuring the overall U4C decision would be fair for all involved parties and inline with the current policies? How would your stewardship expertise benefit U4C processes given stewards can already enforce UCOC if deemed plausible?--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 14:44, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:As for the first part of the question; it depends on the case, but as a general practice, U4C cases should be determined primarily based on the merit of the case, rather than the initiator. Of course, though, most such cases end up/will end up being closed or speedy closed ([[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2025/Admin conduct of BRPever on Simple English Wikipedia|example]]) to avoid feeding the trolls, which I also most of the time would consider the best approach. If a case would concern me in any way, I would however abstain from closing or voting on it, regardless of the actual merit, to avoid COIs.
:Regarding my stewardship, I will as a general practice abstain from performing any kind of U4C/UCoC related steward actions from my side, and if any motion passes requiring steward action, that action should be left for someone else to perform. Despite this I believe I would be valuable for the committee and for my fellow stewards, partly because I am experienced with dealing with complex cases and issues from other wikis, which would bring a different perspective to the U4C, but also because I as a U4C member would be happy to give my input if the stewards discuss performing UCoC related steward actions. The stewards work quite closely with the U4C and often coordinate with each other on UCoC enforcement, and I'll happily contribute to keeping the U4C-steward relationship positive, e.g. by keeping the other stewards/other U4C members updated on potential changes/plans from any of our sides. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 16:01, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey, you are already holding many roles, including some of them where activities might overlap. In your previous comment, you already elaborated why it makes sense to have a few people who serve as stewards and on the U4C, and I can partly follow this explanation (although I'm not much a fan of aggregated roles like steward+ombuds or steward+U4C due to the [[:m:Wikipedia:Meinungsbilder/Aufgabentrennung|established separation of duties on German Wikipedia]] with which I grew up and whose advantages I see, too), and we've already seen the advantages from former holders of both rights. But you are also holding other advanced rights on metawiki that might overlap with U4C work: I don't think it's too far-fetched that oversightable content could be posted when a U4C case is filed. If you see that (first), would you remove it yourself as fast as possible (because that's the idea behind OS actions) and the policy doesn't handle separation or duties or even COI's, or would you leave that to your metawiki oversighter colleagues (disclosure: I am one of them) and just report it or get it reported by other U4C members? — I think that there are arguments for both ways, so I am curious what you think about it. Best, —[[User:DerHexer|DerHexer]] [[User talk:DerHexer|(Talk)]] 12:22, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you for the question. The hesitation is understandable (I myself am part of that hesitation in some senses), and my home wiki also has a policy requiring separation of roles (one can only hold one advanced right higher than sysop at a time). My answer here is largely; it depends on the situation and circumstances.
:I am of the somewhat hot opinion that oversight, particularly OS#1 (non-public personal information), are at many times, at least in some sense, urgent. In such cases, I'd rather do what I can to protect the privacy of others when I'm available, rather than the community having to wait for someone else to do it. Many OS#1 cases also tend to be accidental PII leaks where suppression in most cases is uncontroversial.
:On the other hand, the situation is slightly different for me with OS#2 (potentially libellous information). OS#2 is often combined with OS#1, but in cases where they are not, there is a higher risk of COI (and the community seeing it as such). For instance; if someone made a statement about me that could be considered libellous or defamatory, there will in most cases be no reason or immediate urgency for me to take immediate action. In such cases I'd rather leave it to one of the other six local oversighters - or worst case scenario, a fellow steward (who can OS if locals are unavailable). For me, this applies regardless of whether or not we have a policy technically allowing me to make that action.
:If there are any actions overall that the community does not feel comfortable with me taking for COI reasons, I will respect that and leave them to other advanced rights holders, several of which I am already close with and regularly work with in my advanced roles.

*:The non-voting member pathway has a lot of potential but we need to decide more what we want non-voting members for. They are more than clerks but aren't full members, but it can sometimes be unclear where we should/shouldn't get involved. We had ideas that NVMs could coordinate cases behind the scenes then voting members vote on motions, this hasn't ended up happening yet. It is easier to become a voting member in the sense you know you won't be overstepping, though I am glad to be a non-voting member as I've been able to give my input on cases and get a sense for what U4C work is actually like behind the scenes.

Hi Fulani! Earlier this year, [[:ff:User talk:Fulani215#Block review request|I asked]] for your review of a block on ffwiki, where you are an administrator.

Given you are one of the most active and long-standing members of the Committee can you elaborate on further improvements of Enforcement guidelines to better address repeated cases involving same users and/or communities?

:First of all, we can always bundle several cases with the same participants or the same problems into one case. In my opinion, the U4C has all necessary options to handle conflicts and i currently don't need more options, but we need more members for the workload.
:Recurring people can indicate e.g. a long-term conflict or forum shopping. Recurring problems may indicate an underlying governance issue and may have a cultural or political component. For example, we often receive case requests from projects where blocked users generally have talk page access removed and nobody responds to vrt-based appeal requests. Another example, in smaller projects: the same admin who blocked can decline an appeal request. Therefore, it can be very difficult to even get an appeal process started. I would not want to limit these requests. And frivolous case requests are easily recognised and declined. Our goal is to minimise requests by helping communities build a fair UCoC-compatible system that is able to handle these conflicts. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 17:46, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi Kadı, first of all, thank you for all your contributions to Wikimedia projects, and good luck with this candidacy. My question concerns your activity in sockpuppet investigations on TrWiki. You happen to be one of the most active participants in that area, and in my opinion, unfortunately, you have often requested or endorsed checks that would not be justified under the Wikimedia global CheckUser policy. For instance, if the alleged multiple-account usage does not involve any impropriety such as double voting or ban evasion, I do not believe a CU check is justified, even if the account owner chooses not to declare the account due to potentially sensitive contributions. A CU check, by itself, is an invasive action against fellow Wikimedians, so it should only be used when there is a clear justification. As far as I know, one of our CheckUsers was recently reminded by the Ombuds Commission to follow the CU policy more closely after performing a CU check that had been endorsed by you.

:@[[User:A09|A09]], thanks for the questions. In Turkish Wikipedia, especially newcomers usually use AI tools for communicating in English. AI models suggest that users create a file at U4C. (Examples: [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/Report a false Sockpuppet block in Wiki.tr (Turkish Wikipedia)]] and [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/Indefinitely blocked in Turkish Wikipedia over allegedly being a sock]].) These kinds of requests should be handled locally as a principle of subsidiarity.
:The other cases are mostly about the checkusers. Claims of misuse of the CU tools are handled by the Ombuds Commission, if I were a member of U4C, I would be declining these cases.
:Serial abusers (long-term abusers, sockpuppeteers, POV pushers) should not create requests to U4C because there are lots of open cases that await for a decision, and this behavior increases the workload.
:I may suggest that the Turkish Wikipedia administrators that they should not revoke talk page access at first time. I think this would be beneficial for handling requests locally. [[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 16:27, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:::In Turkish Wikipedia there are lots of trolls and sockpuppets; they sometimes imitate each other to be undefined. Most of them are creating new accounts and starting to contribute to Wikipedia to create a positive perception among the community members.

Your submitted candidacy statement ensured maintenance of inclusive and safe enviroment. How would your action plan look like if you had detected serious systematic abuse of extended user rights amongst your colleagues of the Swahili Wikipedia, especially such that is targeted against religious, sexual and gender views? Mention Italian openess

Would your low experience handling any sort of abuse hinder your efforts working for the Committee?--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 16:09, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you very much @[[User:A09|A09]] for your question,
:If I detected serious systematic abuse of extended user rights on Swahili Wikipedia, especially targeting contributors based on religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or gender identity, my approach would focus on fairness, evidence, transparency, and protection of affected contributors. I believe no contributor, including administrators or other functionaries, should be above accountability. My first step would be to carefully document patterns of behaviour and gather clear evidence before drawing conclusions, while also ensuring affected users are heard and supported. I would encourage discussion through appropriate governance and conduct channels, while avoiding escalation based purely on assumptions or personal disagreements.
:I also believe openness and transparency are important principles in governance, similar to approaches often emphasized in communities such as the Swahili Wikimedia environment, where strong community discussion and accountability mechanisms are valued. At the same time, openness must be balanced with privacy and safety considerations, especially in sensitive conduct cases.
:Regarding experience, I agree with you that I do not yet have extensive direct experience handling large scale abuse cases at the international governance level. However, I do not see this as a barrier to contributing effectively to the Committee. My experience as a Swahili Wikipedia administrator, community Event organizer, and member of the Wikimania 2025 COT team has given me practical exposure to community dynamics, respectful conflict handling, and collaborative decision making in diverse environments. I am also willing to learn from more experienced members, follow established procedures carefully, and approach cases thoughtfully and impartially. I believe humility, willingness to learn, and commitment to fairness are also important qualities for effective U4C work.

Your edit count and matrix are both extremely low, with fewer than 30 edits to your home wiki since the start of 2026. How can you assure the community that you'll stay active and continue to help out in such areas if elected? //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 06:12, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you very much for this question @[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]],
:It is true that my recent edit counts and Matrix activity are relatively low. This is mainly because I have spent much of my time focusing on training and mentoring new community members, organising events, and supporting community gatherings and outreach activities (Wiki for Unversities). While these contributions may not always appear directly in edit statistics, they are still an important part of strengthening and growing the Wikimedia movement.
:I believe that being part of the U4C would further expand my knowledge and experience in community governance, conflict resolution, and safe collaboration practices. I hope to use that experience to better support contributors and help create Wikimedia spaces where people can contribute safely, fairly, and without fear of abuse or discrimination. At the same time, I understand the importance of active participation, and if elected, I would make a strong commitment to remain engaged and responsive in the Committee’s work and communication spaces.

Your admin-related involvement on the Hausa Wikipedia is inherently tied to content creation. Since your community has not faced any case yet, do you think that brings any improvement to efficient case resolution by the U4C even considering your low experience with handling disputes?Mention Wikivoyage and Wikivoyage 
How would you mitigate different expectations of social norms brought by local African communities and the "Western" oriented UCOC?--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 16:03, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you @[[User:A09|A09]] for this important question, below is my response.
:It is true that most of my admin experiences on Hausa Wikipedia is more connected with content work, helping contributors, and also maintaining project quality than handling very serious conduct disputes. Also, our community has not really faced many major UCoC cases yet, so I understand why some people may see that as limited experience in dispute handling.
:But I dont think that automatically means I cannot contribute effectively in the U4C work. In growing communities, admins usually work closely with the contributors directly, helping calm tensions early, guiding discussions, and preventing smaller issues from becoming bigger conflicts. I believe that kind of experience also matters, even if it is not in a very formal setting.
:I am not an editor on Wikivoyage, but through interacting with contributors from different Wikimedia communities, I have learned that projects and regions do not always communicate or operate in exactly the same way. Different communities have different social expectations and communication styles, and I think U4C members should keep that in mind when reviewing cases.
:About African social norms and what some people describe as more “Western-oriented” interpretation of the UCoC, I think balance is important. The UCoC should remain universal in protecting contributors from harassment, discrimination, and abuse, but enforcement should also try to understand local context before making conclusions too quickly.
:For example, in some African communities, communication can sometimes be more direct or based around seniority, and from another cultural perspective that may sometimes be misunderstood as hostility too quickly. But at the same time, cultural differences should never become an excuse for clear harassment or harmful behaviour either.
:If elected, I would try to approach cases carefully, listen to all sides, and where necessary consult local communities before reaching conclusions. I think fair enforcement works best when universal principles are applied together with understanding of local realities across the movement.

Hi, happy to see someone run for CEE seat. Imagine you are being met with this imaginary case. A local small-wiki (only) admin is spreading elements of their culture that are not aligned with the current expectations of UCoC and gets blocked for stating same views on a larger wikiproject. After running out of community options they get before U4C. They claim the larger wiki did not respect their culture. What would your actions look like and would you declare a systemic failure for the smaller project? There is no definitive answer so I am interested in hearing your reasoning.--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 23:55, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
* Hello. Hypothetical situations are always difficult to address because there are so many factors that the answer may come down to "it depends". This is especially true when it comes to what the smaller wiki admin's actions were and how serious they were. On the one hand, we have a duty to share free knowledge and enable as many people as possible to participate in Wikimedia projects. On the other hand, we must create a safe, fair, and inclusive work environment for our creators. The described situation (like most) likely falls somewhere in between, and therefore, the response should also be a balanced one. There is no good answer to that question. Regarding the systemic failure of a smaller project, blocking a user who contributed substantively is always a failure for us as a movement, although it's not always our fault. Conflicts should be resolved and softened at the lowest possible level, so that as few as possible reach the Arbitration Committees or U4C.

Over the last few months, Polish Wikimedia community has noticed your growing conflict with [[Wikimedia Polska|WMPL]] and some of its members. We witnessed your argument with {{ping|Gdarin}}, the President of WMPL, your accusations of "behind-the-scenes conspiracy" against participants of Warsaw Wikimedia meeting, including [[pl:User:Cyfrowabiblioteka|Cyfrowabiblioteka]], the WMPL Board member. When the President pointed out your impolite behavior and asked you to apologize, you reacted with anger, demonstratively leaving WMPL Peer Court and WMPL. You wrote that "you wouldn't pose for a photo with us because you couldn't look in the mirror". You said you had a number of complaints about WMPL, without specifying what you actually wanted. I sense strong negative emotions between you and WMPL, and your comments indicate that the conflict may be about more than one issue. You've made some strange decisions that surprised many, like {{ping|Julo}} (co-founder of WMPL), {{Ping|Ency}} and led {{Ping|Wostr}} (member of Polish CA) to write his ''votum separatum'' on your decisions. Each time, you were showing strong emotional charge and tension.

Question: Let's assume a hypothetical situation where WMPL has a dispute with a Wikimedia Foundation employee or an entity. As a U4C arbitrator, will you truly be able to remain calm, impartial, and objective in such a situation? Can EVERY member of the Polish community count on your fair judgment if you openly say you "won't share a photo" with some of us?

*{{u|SHB2000}}, sorry, [[User talk:SHB2000/U4C guide 2026|I was expecting your questions.]] I saw [[special:diff/30531349|this]] and thought I should write. I understand that it would have been better to discuss this earlier, and you are right, but my intention was not bad. I am trying to be transparent. For example, I have contributed paid edits to two articles so far, and they are [[:az:İstifadəçi:Qədir/Açıqlamalar|here]]. Also, I once helped someone upload files to Commons, and they voluntarily paid me a small amount for it (I did not request it, and I considered it a donation). According to Commons rules, this does not need to be disclosed, but I am noting it here for transparency.

:I have never requested any payment (the offers came to me from the parties I mentioned above, and I evaluated them). Because I personally do not consider paid editing appropriate in volunteer projects, although I am aware that it is not prohibited when done properly. Yes, I did it and I disclosed it. Still, I believe that someone holding such critical rights should be very careful in these matters. As you know, paid work is already done in grant programs and similar projects. {{pb}} I have received many offers so far, but I did not engage with any of them because they were all related to topics without encyclopedic value. In other words, I think this is a good thing — I did not take the attitude of "let me get paid and write anything", and I have not misused my advanced rights, nor will I.

:Regarding the evidence issue, I don't know what the stewards have, but I assume it is the screenshots mentioned in my checkuser candidacy. And I should also say that I have the complete record of those messages on my side (<s>I cannot know if the other party deleted anything</s> (I checked now and noticed that they deleted some of the messages; I didn't record all the conversations at the time.), but my messages are still intact). And I also have no idea what they told or how they presented it. {{pb}} In the checkuser candidacy, it was claimed that I requested payment, but I did not do such a thing — the other party made me an offer, and afterwards they asked me to promise that the article would not be deleted, to meet with them, and also requested other personal information. I replied that I cannot guarantee whether an article will remain or not, and I rejected their request. Later, they contacted several people, and one of them restored the deleted article in an inappropriate way. But I still didn't do anything—I only said, "this is not right". The only thing I did was fix the article's incorrect title.

:Regarding the [[:az:Vikipediya:Təftişçi namizədliyi/Arxiv/2025|checkuser election]], there are already enough people supporting me there as well. Most of those who are against me do not have objective positions—in other words, I do not find their arguments objective. They also did not even look at my replies to them, meaning they are not presenting any substantial arguments. I am open to communication and criticism, but there is no real criticism there. It seems that {{u|White Demon}} only voted against me because of the paid editing issue, and that is their opinion, which I understand. I think that is also a valid position. {{pb}} I could say that some users may not trust people they do not know personally (on azwiki, many users know each other in real life, and local events are organized every year), so voting is often based on that and whether people are biased or not. In addition, I know many users on-wiki, and quite a few of them trust me in this candidacy. {{pb}} Some users may simply be against me because we have some disagreements on wiki or because they do not like me personally (which of course is not objective). Also, one user who supported me in a previous vote ended up voting against me in the second one. Why? Because they engaged in incorrect actions on the wiki and I warned them about it. Since I follow the principle of neutrality, I thanked that user for their good contributions, while also informing them about their mistakes. One of the candidates initially supported me but later withdrew their support without any clear reason. I asked for an explanation, but they did not provide one.

:I tried to explain as much as I could; if there's anything I missed, you can let me know. Also, if you have any additional questions or any nuances you're not satisfied with, please point them out so I can answer them.

As stated in the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2026/Discussion#Qədir|discussion]] section, I am generally supportive of your candidacy. In addition to holding adminship on AzWiki, you also happen to be an experienced community member on TrWiki with patroller rights. So, if I may ask a question, I was curious what your answer would be to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026/Questions#c-A09-20260510154200-Kadı question] by A09 to Kadı. E.g., what are your thoughts overall about the open and closed TrWiki cases? Would you have handled them differently? Thanks and good luck, [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 15:13, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
*:I think such matters should primarily be left to local projects (i.e. administrators, local bodies and the communities) to handle. Dispute resolutions, SPI and CU-related issues should be considered separately, and U4C should only be used as a last resort when local projects are clearly insufficient, unable to resolve the issue, or systematically failing to do so. Matters concerning CU actions or potential concerns should be addressed through the appropriate oversight channels in a way that ensures procedural consistency. Sincerely, [[User:Qədir|Qədir]] ([[User talk:Qədir|talk]]) 17:29, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
*::Thanks for the response, @[[User:Qədir|Qədir]]. To be honest, I find this response a bit too generic, especially from a TrWiki community member. To narrow it down a bit, let's consider [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GoToComment/c-Ghilt-20260404054800-1denizakdemir-20260403152800 this comment by Ghilt] on one of the mentioned cases. As an experienced community member of the Turkish Wikipedia, do you agree with the implied statement that "we are not there, yet; but we should get there" and if so, "how can we get there"? [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 22:29, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
*:::I agree with Ghilt. Users should first be given the opportunity to submit their own appeals. As for the answer to the question, I would say that this requires a healthy community environment, the existence and completeness of relevant policies, and at the same time appropriate local bodies (such as an Arbitration Committee).

You have cited a [[Grants:Project/MSIG/SandraH./Communication and Leadership skills development for Arabic community|communication related grant]] in your candidacy statement. Can you explain how are you proficiently using said acquired skills given you have been involved in two U4C cases both [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/Systematic failure to enforce UCoC in ArWiki|as a party]] and [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/'Arabic Wikipedia Admins' WhatsApp Group|as an outside commentator]] where the first involved language inappropriate for an user with extended user rights?--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 14:42, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @[[User:A09|A09]]
:Thank you for your question. I have improved my skills in the mentioned grant and worked with different communities since then, with the pleasure of serving with respect to the Wikimedia Foundation's atmosphere, community, and environment.
:One last important meeting I had was a virtual meeting for admins of Arabic Wikipedia. I organized it; it was the first online meeting that gathered the Arabic Wikipedia admins.
:The meeting ran smoothly and was attended by '''15 admins''' who shared their points of view. User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح (Mohammed Ahmed) was also a participant and even shared his experience in that meeting, like the other admins did. You can have an overview of the event from: [[w:ar:فعالية:الاجتماع الأول - إدارة ويكيبيديا العربية|Here]].
:Now we are working to adapt what was discussed since then and will have another meeting in the near future.
:Going into the first case you mentioned, I was asking to respect the friendly space, and the interpretation within this case is bad faith. Reviewing the full topic again, you can have a clearer view of the case. Dr. Taher (as part of the temporary ArbCom of this case exactly) is telling user:Mohammed Ahmed to stop looking at the archive, as it is considered unacceptable chasing. Please review: [[w:ar:خاص:وصلة دائمة/74078048#إشارة_إلى_تعليقات_لاحقة|here]]
:Unfortunately, Mr. Mohammed Ahmed keeps adding more topics even after the answer he got where you mentioned, and sent 7 emails according to his mentioning on the page: [[w:ar:نقاش ويكيبيديا:مجلس التحكيم/لجنة تحكيم مؤقتة 2025|Discussion page of the temporary Arbcom 2025]]
:For me, in a wider view, good communication does not mean to avoid difficult conversations but to handle them with respect, understanding, openness, and acceptance.
:Going to the next case, my questions were with respect, and as the user did not follow the admin guideline, I am wondering why. The following question was asked, because of respecting private space "virtually or physically" and the code of conduct.
:Here I would like to mention that I am part of the WhatsApp group with other admins, who clarify that within this case or another, everybody is professional in the domain and speaks with respect in both public and private spaces.
:Finally, I am always looking forward to having bridges between people and communities, and that should always come with respect for each other and the Wikimedia policies of the friendly space and code of conduct.
:I hope my answer gives you a clear view, and please feel free to respond with any questions or clarification; I'm always happy to help.

Hello SanBonne, thanks for all your Wikimedia contributions, and good luck with the candidacy. You are one of the leaders of the user group Wikimedians of the Levant, and I have some concerns about the diversity and inclusivity of this user group when it comes to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/The_WMF_needs_to_support_dialectal_Arabic_more_actively dialectal Arabic debate]. I understand if the ''majority'' of the members happen to represent one side of the debate, but I fail to understand the situation if the user group is ''unanimously'' on one side of this debate. (Side note: I personally consider myself to be from the Levant, and I personally know how diverse the opinions and perspectives in this region can be on ''any subject you can think of''.) This makes me concerned that maybe people who happen to think differently on this subject do not feel welcome in the user group, and because of that they chose not to join the user group? Having a convincing answer to this question is important for me and, I believe, some other voters who think embracing the UCoC by heart as a leader is important for taking on this responsibility.

::''Shukran kteer'', Sandra. Really appreciate the response, and I totally believe the members individually do their best to follow a friendly code of conduct policy. I have no doubt about that. However, the "diversity" problem is real, and I don't believe it can be solved passively. The people whose perspectives about dialectal Arabic are similar to [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/The_WMF_needs_to_support_dialectal_Arabic_more_actively#What_we_see_outside_of_Wikimedia these examples I listed on my RfC] are missing from your user group. These people are from the Levant, they represent a perspective within the Levant, but they are missing from the ''Wikimedians of the Levant''. When I initially attempted to reach out to several leaders of your user group, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SanBonne&oldid=1344519290#Levantine_Arabic_Wikipedia including yourself], I received no response, not from anyone.

After that, Michel Bakni [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_the_Levant/%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A9_%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%84_%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9 kindly started a discussion] and pinged all group members, I still appreciate Michel's act. However, I believe anyone who reads that user group discussion started by Michel in detail can understand the root cause of the diversity problem that I mentioned, and I believe the leaders have a responsibility to mitigate that. Even if they are personally against the idea, leaders are responsible to create a safe environment for those who are not, and reach out to new people if necessary when they see a diversity or representation problem. I believe the ethos of the Wikimedia movement necessitates this. I hope this will be considered as a constructive feedback.

I want to understand your views on the temporary ArbCom on arwiki. Compared to what you consider an ideal high-level decision making body, where do you think it is doing well and where do you think it is falling short, both in terms of member selection and handling of cases, and how do you think those shortcomings should be addressed?--[[User:BRPever|BRP]]'''[[User talk:BRPever|'' ever'']]''' 06:04, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @[[User:BRPever|BRPever]]
:Sorry for the late reply, as this is a complex question to answer. I prefer to start with the positive side by mentioning the selected members, who were two admins and a steward. They are known for their openness, responsibility, and neutrality, and are well-respected in the Arabic community. These are valuable qualities for ArbCom members to have.
:However, from my point of view, the main shortcoming was the lack of a clear ArbCom timeline, clearly defined institutional procedures, and a well-established policy to work from.
:The decision that was made did not meet my expectations. It was diplomatic and general, and it did not address the core of the problem. This ArbCom was established hurriedly because of a special case, and that should not be the approach in the future.
:Resolving such cases should involve having clear procedures to follow, starting with improving the local ArbCom policy and learning from the experiences of international projects and other communities.
:The policy should include expected timelines, the responsibilities and duties of ArbCom members, the duration of membership, and the method of selecting members and defining eligibility criteria (such as extended rights holders, etc.).
:Having a clear ArbCom policy could resolve many issues. Hopefully, the community will not face situations like the one we experienced again, but if it does, the members should be prepared and available to handle such cases effectively.

----
Hypothetical case scenario question: A Hokkien-speaking user (Hokkien = nan) leaves you a talk page message about zhwiki admins suppressing (in the literal sense, not the OS sense) their use of Hokkien. They do so by threatening blocks for users promoting the Hokkien language and removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible.

What would you do in this instance? In your response, state which sections of the UCoC would come into remedy here. Additionally, what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion? (there is no single correct answer for the second question – I'm looking to see your thought process here; also note that zhwiki has a local ArbCom.)

(Full disclaimer: this scenario is hypothetical only, and I'm using zh for the lack of a better example. The examples are irrelevant, other than that Hokkien is a dialect of Chinese) //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 11:09, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]],
:I appreciate the time you took to create this hypothetical scenario. Mr. Mohammed Ahmed gave a good answer based on the charter. I could answer the same, but I will also give my response.
:Going to the first part of the question, I would start by practicing empathy, assuring a safe and respectful space, and investigating the case further to understand what steps the user had taken before reaching me. Had they already contacted the local ArbCom? According to the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|Universal Code of Conduct - chater]], '''section 4.2.1 Jurisdiction''', {{quote|the U4C will not have jurisdiction to enforce the UCoC when a high-level decision-making body is able to (Arbitration Committees, Affiliations Committee, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, Technical Code of Conduct committee, Stewards), warranting effective self-governance.}}
:If they had not, I would first try to understand why and respond accordingly, because a single phrase cannot fully describe a situation that may be more complex. Accordingly, I could not give a direct answer to this case based only on your question, as it is still too early. As part of a team, I would also want to better understand the situation through a U4C member familiar with similar cases and who works closely with zhwiki to have a better understanding of what happened within the zh ArbCom process and why the case was raised here.
:I would also need to determine whether the case falls within [[Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|the main policy of U4C]] '''section 3.3 - Content vandalism and abuse of the projects''' especially if there is repeated removal of content without explanation or discussion. This could include {{quote|
:* The repeated arbitrary or unmotivated removal of any content without appropriate discussion or providing explanation. 
:* Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view (also by means of unfaithful or deliberately false rendering of sources and altering the correct way of composing editorial content).}}
:If mentions of Hokkien or nanwiki were being removed in this way, this section of the UCoC could come into remedy.
:If the user had already opened an ArbCom case and the further appeal was ineffective or does not totally agree with the U4C charter, then there may be grounds for the U4C to accept the case. So, first and foremost, the local high-level body should handle it. The U4C can intervene where there is no such body or where that body has made multiple decisions that go against the UCoC.
:''For the second question'', it depends on the details of the case, because the full picture is not clear from a single phrase. The key issue would be to understand why this is happening: is it a matter of the community not accepting this dialect, or is it related to the user’s behavior? It would also be important to know in what context the dialect is being added.
:The response could involve better communication with the community and the user about how to include the dialect appropriately or, if needed, raising the matter to the U4C to ensure better accommodation of the dialect in zhwiki. This work should be done within the team and informed by the experience of those who have handled similar issues before.

:{{ping|SHB2000}} thank you for your greetings and the question. Sometimes, problems arise between affiliates and the representation in the same territory or on the same topics. I know people love to write in their mother languages, and sometimes some expressions are too difficult if someone isn't a native Spanish speaker. I'm aware of many cultural differences between the countries or even in some regions in the country, and this aspect is key to keeping the the dialogue flowing and try to reach consensus between the parties involved: I prefer to listen all positions, try to understand the ideas properly, and discuss with other before made any statement or leaving an impression about the disagreement: it is too difficult if the people don't even share the same room in the real life, but at the end, I assume good faith and mantain flowing the discussion to reach the best agreement possible for the parties. About your specific question about Conflict of Interest (CoI), in the past, I shared my concerns and choice to abstain from the discussions, especially of my home affiliate (Wikimedia Chile). I don't share any information with my affiliate, even if I am aware of them before any public announcement. If I have any doubt about a potential CoI, I disclose it to the group, so they can decide about my statement. In my current role (LAC RFC), I'm aware of many relationships between affiliates and how they manage internal conflicts or potential risk of creating a conflict. In these cases where my CoI is involved, I share some initial insights, but the rest of the committee/team will follow the next steps, and I don't try to read or know anything about the investigation.

Hey, thanks for running. I think it's important to have Spanish speaking people active in global community settings as they compose one of the largest (international) communities. Your candidacy statement cites 20 years of experience handling dispute resolutions. Imagine being met with the following scenario: a serious abuser has expended every community process (bar nonexistent ArbCom) available locally while every admin is in-fact involved. This user then starts forum-shopping on a foreign wiki until they come before the U4C as a filer claiming they have been wronged on the homewiki and that it clearly presents a systematic failure. What actions would you take (if you'd even consider this case valid) and do you agree with their reasoning of the systemic failure? There is no single definitive answer. Best of luck,--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 23:38, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello {{ping|A09}}, thanks for leaving your question. It's not an easy answer for an LTA (Long Term Abuse), especially in cross-wiki cases where the evidence or the events happen and seem unrelated. When someone is thinking about a username, maybe there is a person taking time to create a narrative about their participation and involvement in our Movement. In this hypothetical case, the person would point to harassment in their home wiki, but we need to understand the situation of the local admins before making any judgment about the conflict: sometimes the best way to try to see the history is by reading/listening to both parties and seeing how the history is written with facts instead of taking notes from preconceived ideas. It's fundamental to hear the position of the administrators and how they noted the involvement of the user in the local wiki, and figure out the best possible way to re-focus the user to be a good user again or to see if it requires another decision. Regarding the U4C jurisdiction —if I don't misunderstand— I see it as a complex situation; because all administrators are involved in some way (or they don't want to engage further due to burnout from this situation), discussing the case could be seen as the user being right, and it may create an exploit for others. However, if all administrators agree, the U4C could help them find the best solution for all users.
:(side note: I'm not a big fan of infinite blocks, because blocking can create a sock-puppet master —I remember 2 notable cases from Spanish Wikipedia— or an angry real person against the projects)

:Apologies for the delay in responding, I became unexpectedly busy in real life. Actions like the one you describe are a shock to the affected community, as well as the global community, but they are not unprecedented. In the past, projects have been able to recover from such incidents and even strengthen their self-governance capabilities as a result. We should do our best to learn from their experiences. Without knowing the specifics of the impacted community, there are some general principles we can apply. [[m:WMF Global Ban Policy|WMF global bans]] take place when there is "a lack of ability by the communities to self-police", "all possible community-led efforts to address the situation have been attempted and seem to have failed", or the WMF has access to private information. After such a situation, it is important for the community to set up systems that can prevent issues from again reaching the point of WMF Office action. On larger projects, this might mean setting up an arbitration committee; on smaller projects, this might mean making it easier for editors to report their concerns privately to the U4C. The U4C could use its experience to help with designing such a system. The U4C would also remain in contact with T&S. Though the high level of confidentiality involved would prevent the U4C from providing all of the answers the community seeks, I generally believe that the U4C would benefit from greater transparency and outreach and I would do my best to help in such a situation. While I cannot predict the best course of action in every situation, communities are not powerless and should respond proactively.

Hi ToprakM, thank you for your contributions to TrWiki, all your technical contributions, as well as the ones as an editor and an admin are really appreciated. Recently, there was a high-profile conflict within TrWiki related to Basak’s block, and you made strong points early in the discussion, such as noting the unjustified talk page block. However, you did not participate further in the discussion afterward, which I believe would have given you an opportunity to demonstrate your interest in conflict resolution in complex cases like that one. Additionally, I would like to mention the Umtcnyd case, where the U4C almost unanimously concluded that our CheckUsers did not have sufficient evidence to prove inappropriate use of multiple accounts. (They were also aware of Vincent Vega's 90-day argument before making this statement, if you check Vincent Vega - Barkeep49 correspondence on Vincent Vega's talk page.) There were very long local discussions following that, and multiple TrWiki editors expressed skepticism about the block. Despite this, [[:tr:Kullanıcı_mesaj:Umtcnyd#c-ToprakM-20251118003200-Engel_kaldırma_talebi|you declined the user's appeal]] without providing a meaningful explanation. In my opinion, a reblock in such a case would at least require some explanation. I would appreciate hearing your perspective on this. (Disclosure: Umtcnyd emailed me after I expressed interest in their case on the U4C case's talk page, but this question is completely independent of that correspondence.) Thank you, and good luck with the candidacy. [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 03:43, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:: Thank you for the question, TheJoyfulTentmaker.
::The case of user Basak was indeed a notable one, particularly regarding how the block was implemented as I pointed out. Specifically the restriction of talk page access and email privileges, which I found as inconsistent with local policy. To my knowledge, I was the only user to raise this concern publicly. That said, the block itself was justified thorough sysop discussion with significant community participation, and a consensus emerged among sysops that the block was correct. Also I would like to highlight that I did reach out to the blocking sysop on the talk page of the blocked user to seek their final perspective on the matter. I should also note that Basak had already submitted a request to the Coordinating Committee regarding this matter before the local objection process had started. I believe that there is no procedural error within the local wiki process itself.

::Regarding the Umtcnyd case: From what I've reviewed the U4C's decision called for a reassessment of the CU decision, with some members finding the evidence insufficient to conclude sockpuppetry. However, following that decision, I see that a reassessment was conducted on Umtcnyd's talk page, and the CheckUsers' conclusion remained unchanged. As a local sysop, I do not have the authority to override a CheckUser determination. Our local policies are clear. A block imposed based on CheckUser evidence can only be lifted by a CheckUser or through a community decision, not by an individual sysop acting alone. I closed the appeal procedurally months later, referencing the concluded discussion, because I had no evidence to counter the CheckUser findings. While I would certainly have voiced concerns had I seen a clear procedural error or injustice, the fact remains that the CheckUsers who have access to tools and data that I do not maintained their position even after reassessment. I understand the concern that my closure lacked a detailed explanation, and I accept that as valid criticism. In hindsight, I should have stated my reasoning more clearly at the time, and this is something I would approach differently today.

Ciao! Your candidacy statements says {{tq|I also believe the U4C can be useful in identifying inconsistencies, contradictions, or gaps in local policies}}. Imagine a scenario where a controversial admin was deadminshipped through ArbCom, which hands back the request to the community to vote upon. Given ArbComs are considered the topmost local-level organs, it is safe to denote such action as uncommon as they decide upon actions themselves. De-adminship eventually becomes a case before U4C. How would you act on such cases given the project has an ArbCom and is likely not a case of systemic failure? There is no single definitive answer and I would love to hear your thoughts. Best, --'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 21:09, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:Ciao/Hi A09, I find the topic interesting and I'm happy to discuss it. I can share two examples I personally experienced, both showing how even a major wiki can have contradictions or gaps. I'll try to keep it brief.
:The first case is exactly what you described (did you know about it, or is it just a coincidence?): The [[:it:Wikipedia:Commissione arbitrale|local ArbCom]] received a report about off-wiki abuse and threats by an administrator. The committee reviewed the case privately and decided to deadmin the user [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale/Deliberazioni/Gatto_Nero]. Only then did it become clear that there was a gap: the policy made no mention of this possibility. So the local ArbCom, despite being a high-level decision-making body, couldn't formally request it — and the rights revocation procedure hadn't been updated, simply because it hadn't been used in years (on itwiki, sysops go through annual reconfirmation). The ArbCom then invoked [[:en:WP:IAR|WP:IAR]] and pushed for the opening of a revocation procedure[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Amministratori/Revoche/Pierpao][https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Amministratori/Revoche/Pierpao]. This ended up dividing the community. Many users didn't want to take a stance because the evidence was private. The process effectively became a vote of confidence in the ArbCom (some even wanted to cancel the procedure) and it highlighted the risks of unclear or inconsistent policies. There's also a debate about how much power the ArbCom should have[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale#Ampliamento_competenze_Commissione_arbitrale]. The ArbCom on itwiki is relatively new; we still needed clearer guidelines and more experience, and no one can always anticipate every scenario. If you're curious about the details, we can discuss it separately; it would be quite a long story. The links provided contain everything anyway.
:The second case involves an ongoing discussion about the appealing a block procedure: On itwiki, [[:it:Wikipedia:Revisione del blocco|appealing a block]] were introduced in 2024 (as part of the UCoC implementation)[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Blocchi_automatici_alle_pagine_di_discussione_degli_utenti_e_possibilit%C3%A0_di_appelli]. Before that, there was no formal review process. Due to a lack of consensus, only users blocked after March 12, 2024 can currently request a review, and there is an active discussion about making the procedure retroactive[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Revisione_del_blocco#Estensione_della_retroattivit%C3%A0_della_richiesta_di_sblocco]. Since then, many users have submitted requests to the ArbCom, which has had to reject some of them as ineligible under its procedures[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale/Deliberazioni/Archivio/2025][https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale/Deliberazioni/Archivio/2026]. This is another example of a policy gap that still needs to be addressed.
:When I wrote that sentence in my candidacy statement, I had exactly these kinds of cases in mind — and the importance of preventing breakdowns. I hope I haven’t bored you and that I’ve covered everything. [[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 12:20, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
::I almost forgot: if a comparable situation becomes a case handled by the U4C, there are many considerations and analyses to be made. I don't think Arbcom was at fault - They aren’t responsible for updating that page[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Amministratori/Revoche/Pierpao#c-Torque-20260320100900-ValterVB-20260319202800]. One alternative was to put the decision on hold and ask the community to update that page, even though the request would have implicitly revealed the outcome in advance. I wouldn't want to give too many personal judgments, because it's a case I was actively involved in and my opinion wouldn't be neutral enough. What I can say objectively is mostly already in my previous message. [[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 13:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Late last year, you engaged in [[:w:en:WP:CANVASS|canvassing]] to buy votes from your [[:w:ha:Special:Diff/700899/701515|home wiki]] in your non-voting member application. This was disruptive to say the least, but also highlighted a severe misunderstanding on your end of the entire U4C member process. Thus, here are two questions for you to answer.

::1. Canvassing from Wikipedia means direct contact with voters to solicit for votes or identify voters and pursuade the undecided voters. It can be disruptive in the case that voters can be pursuaded or bought off against there free will. It can cause bias and inbalance in election process.

Hypothetical case scenario question: A Hokkien-speaking user (Hokkien = nan) leaves you a talk page message about zhwiki admins suppressing (in the literal sense, not the OS sense) their use of Hokkien. They do so by threatening blocks for users promoting the Hokkien language and removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible.

What would you do in this instance? In your response, state which sections of the UCoC would come into remedy here. Additionally, what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion? (there is no single correct answer for the second question – I'm looking to see your thought process here; also note that zhwiki has a local ArbCom)

(Full disclaimer: this scenario is hypothetical only, and I'm using zh for the lack of a better example. The examples are irrelevant, other than that Hokkien is a dialect of Chinese) //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 11:09, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]]
:Hello, based on this hypothetical scenario, and as zhwiki has a local ArbCom:
:Q1: What would I do in this instance?
:I would ask the user who has messaged me on my talk page whether the matter has been brought to the attention of the local ArbCom; as mentioned in the U4C charter#4.2.1. Jurisdiction "the U4C will not have jurisdiction to enforce the UCoC when a high-level decision-making body is able to". There are two pathways from this point, either the matter has been brought in a case presented to the local high-level body or it hasn't been, before U4C can intervene, it should be handled by the high-level body (local ArbCom) first, and if it has been handled by local ArbCom, the user still objects to the result and thinks that no remedy has been provided for claimed violations, has he/she/they went to appeal?
:I would actually put a link to the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|U4C Charter]] and the relevant section of it, so that the user who messaged me understands the process better, this will also help highlight that U4C complies with the principles of self-governance as also mentioned in the charter.
:The relevant UCoC sections that would come into remedy here are in my opinion, keeping in mind that this assumes that indeed violations have taken place, which I can't form a personal opinion on just judging by the message on my talk page:
:* The repeated arbitrary or unmotivated removal of any content without appropriate discussion or providing explanation.
:* Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff. (Threatening a block)
:Also an expected behavior in such type of case is "Practice empathy: Listen and try to understand what Wikimedians of different backgrounds want to tell you."
:Just based on the messaged I received on my talk page, I don't assume that the admins of zhwiki have done something wrong, or in other words committed in UCoC violations, since words can have different meaning to different people, one should know the full story, and hear from both sides.
:So, first and foremost the local high-level body should handle the case. U4C can intervene in cases where there is no local high-level body, or the high-level body has made multiple decisions that go against UCoC.
:Q2: what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion?
:If the user still thinks that there are unaddressed violations after exhausting the process and appeal with local ArbCom, he/she/they could present a case to U4C that U4C could accept at this point, in determining whether to accept the case after exhausting local process with ArbCom, I would ask the following questions:
:1. Is there a prior consensus regarding prohibition of use of Hokkien dialect?
:2. What exactly is prohibited: the use of the dialect in the main namespace (Article namespace)? or also using it to make a statement in a users' page in user namespace or using it between two people discussing in a talk page?
:3. Does this prohibition targets this dialect only? Because Chinese has many dialects, it would be useful to know if there is an element of discrimination in this hypothetical scenario.
:3. Regarding "removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible", if the case is brought before U4C, after exhausting the process with local high-level body (ArbCom), I would ask for specific examples of this act, it might be justified in certain cases, what comes to mind, if applied universally to all languages and dialects. My view is, that it is not permissible to remove the mentioning of nanwiki from the zhwiki article about the dialect.
:I would consult with fellow members of U4C on what to do if the case is accepted, and there was a determination that indeed violations have taken place, sanctions might be required especially in cases of clear, repeated, incivility or harassment.

Hi محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح, thank you for running for U4C and good luck with your candidacy. I think you gave a great answer to the above question by SHB2000. Something very similar happened in 2024, and [https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/ويكيبيديا:إخطار_الإداريين/أخرى/أرشيف/2024/أكتوبر#c-محمد_أحمد_عبد_الفتاح-20241028085900-TheJoyfulTentmaker-20241027225400 you were the only one who pointed out] that an admin had used revision suppression in a way that was not consistent with the policies. I really appreciate that you stood up for me at that time, even though, as I can see from the babel box on your profile, you personally oppose Wikipedia editions in Arabic dialects. My question is: in situations like that, where an administrator acts in a way that may not be consistent with policy, do you think there could sometimes be social pressure that discourages other editors or admins from speaking up? Best wishes and good luck, [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 22:29, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] Hello, yes in a situation regarding the "language/dialect" debate and the use of dialects in written form, some societal pressure might play a part in the action/inaction of some admins or editors. This might happen in any Wikipedia, but there is also a chance that it happens more in Arabic Wikipedia.
:I would also note that there might be a problem in speaking up when an admin makes a decision that is not consistent with policy in topics other than the 'language/dialect' debate. Power structures and alignment of editors and admins, not wanting to be a party to a conflict or to spend time discussing an issue, all these are factors that would influence the action of members, in any wiki.

::::@[[User:Mohammed Qays|Mohammed Qays]] I will answer the first question, I will try to answer in points to give a more complete chronology of events in ArWiki:
::::* You said "suggesting insufficient familiarity with global policies and the ability to act or make appropriate decisions," That is not true; as I have submitted a block request earlier, and instead of blocking the offending user, or even giving him a second warning (because he received a warning in a previous block request). I was [[w:ar:Special:diff/67679671|threatened with a block by an admin]]. If I am not aware that I should not use my admin rights against a user who is in a conflict with me I wouldn't have asked other admins to block him.
::::* Months have passed since the previous block request I submitted, the admin who previously threatened me with a block has defended his position [[w:ar:Special:diff/69480008|by saying]] that "it is natural to support the other party because he writes articles and develops policies" He said that publicly in a complaint page! This directly goes against UCoC which states "{{Quote|Nor will we make exceptions based on standing, skills or accomplishments in the Wikimedia projects or movement}}". . And the more troubling thing here, is that his comment remained unanswered by any other admin except for one, only Karim Ahmed responded to this objectionable comment.
::::* One uninvolved user, who was appointed as a member of a 'temp arbitrary committee has previously made a statement that indicate that there is no arbitration body that would act as a fair arbiter between users who accuse other users of alignment and just taking sides with other user. He basically stated that there might be "Failure of the System" in ArWiki.
::::* This user, along with 2 others were appointed in a temp arbitrary committee, and after more than 10 months of investigating, they released [[w:ar:ويكيبيديا:مجلس التحكيم/لجنة تحكيم مؤقتة 2025/بيان 2|a very problematic statement]], which I think contradicts the UCoC; that statement contained the following "Despite the seriousness of the violations identified, the committee decided—in the interests of the community and to ensure that no further contributions are lost—not to impose retroactive penalties at this stage"
::::I am asking you, I wouldn't need anwser, but do you believe that the fear of a loss of contributors can be given as a reason not to block an offending user in any situation?

There is only one acceptable justification — though not really an excuse, but rather a strong reason for contributing to another Wikipedia — and that is when a contributor writes in a language other than their own to present matters related to their identity, meaning their homeland, religion, history, and so on. Other than that, I believe it is unacceptable. Why would you contribute to a Wikipedia that is not in your own language?!}}

This goes against what Wikimedia projects encourage regarding contributing in any languages a user is proficient in across other projects. It also significantly contributes to the diversity of articles across sister projects. For example, if a person is proficient in one or more languages, what harm is caused by contributing in the languages they know?--[[User:Mohammed Qays|Mohammed Qays]] ([[User talk:Mohammed Qays|talk]]) 08:12, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

{{collapse|expand=yes|2=Deepl translation (Reviewed by responder)|1=Hello, regarding your first question, I would very much like to respond to it. But perhaps we should first see the Election Committee’s opinion, since this is an ongoing issue. I’ll just say this: please provide the full facts of the matter.

In response to your second question: This text has been on my user page since 2009, at a time when Arabic Wikipedia was far behind in terms of both the quantity and quality of its content compared to a long list of other Wikipedias. My position was that we should focus our efforts on developing the Arabic project. This does not mean that I was previously “opposed to users,” and the situation has certainly changed now. I do not hold a position “opposed to users” who contribute to Arabic Wikipedias; Arabic Wikipedia has grown in content, and tools such as content translation are making it easier and easier to develop Arabic Wikipedia and others. I am completely open to contributing to other Wikipedias and projects and recognize the importance of translation; I am interested in writing about non-English-speaking countries, and English Wikipedia is where I turn for translations on these topics.

I was expecting a question like this, and I may edit the text on my user page to convey the intended message, which is the need to focus efforts on developing Arabic projects while not opposing contributions to non-Arabic projects in general.--[[User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح Mohamed Ahmed]] ([[User talk:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|talk]]) 09:58, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

: This incident was very sensitive within local community, so I'd like to address it carefully.{{pb}}First, I will explain the incident itself in more detail. I personally respect this user as a contributor. In 2021, this administrator initiated something called "Delete-a-thon".([[:ko:위키백과:사랑방/2021년_제34주#회사_및_단체_문서_관련_델리터톤을_진행합니다|link]]) They argued that articles related to associations and organizations were "mass-produced articles" and that more than 900 legitimate articles should be deleted in bulk. Due to opposition from other users, the proposal ultimately failed.{{pb}}In 2024, the same admin again claimed that articles related to bus terminals on kowiki were mass-produced articles and announced that they would be deleted in bulk.([[:ko:위키백과:사랑방/2024년_제13주#삭제_예고_:버스_터미널|link]], yes, that purple nickname is me) The admin then proceeded with large-scale deletions. Although many users opposed this action, the administrator refused to restore the pages. Eventually, I even created a massundelete tool myself and restored all of the deleted pages.{{pb}}Afterward, the admin partially apologized for their actions, and following this incident, I took the lead in quickly passing the CSD policy, which had already been under preparation for introduction.([[:ko:위키백과토론:빠른_삭제_기준/보존1#빠른_삭제_기준_도입_토론|link]]) However, a few months later, the same administrator once again described school-related articles as mass-produced articles and deleted them.([[:ko:위키백과:사랑방/2024년_제34주#일부_학교_문서_삭제_알림|link]]) The admin also interpreted the newly introduced CSD policy arbitrarily.{{pb}}As a result, I led a discussion regarding the removal of the administrator's permissions, and the proposal passed.([[:ko:위키백과:관리자_권한_회수/Reiro|link]]) Afterward, the deletion policy was revised once again on a large scale, including the introduction of DELPRO and PROD.([[:ko:위키백과토론:삭제_정책#삭제_정책_개정|link]]) Some users who had been mobilized to oppose the desysop discussion were later blocked as well, and the situation on kowiki became peaceful afterward. I still think it is unfortunate that kowiki does not have an ArbCom, because the situation might have been resolved in a more orderly way if one had existed.{{pb}}I believe the admin's actions clearly fall under section 3.2, "Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff." Some users argued that the admin used their authority to intimidate non-admin users, but tbh I don't agree with that interpretation, so I would not classify it as "Using one's position and reputation to intimidate others." Nevertheless I still think the actions were a clear violation of the UCoC. {{pb}}However, in this case, only one administrator abused their tools, while other admins and users worked together to resolve the problem. Since the local community clearly demonstrated its ability to self-correct, I don't think this would constitute a systemic failure. These counter abuse actions reflect the expectations outlined in UCoC Section 2.2, which calls on community members to collaboratively take active responsibility for ensuring Wikimedia projects are safe and productive spaces.

== Questions for all candidates ==
===Q1===
Give a description of a candidate that, in your opinion, should or would in a U4C election,

* barely crosses the 60% threshold
* barely misses the 60% threshold

justifying your reasoning and stating any assumptions you make. [[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] ([[User talk:Leaderboard|talk]]) 06:00, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* I will answer rather humbly, because I'd rather not judge other candidates here. I have experience from other high-stakes elections (SE), but the main reasons some people go barely under the minimum treshold there (low cross-wiki experience etc.) are mostly not relevant here. However, for U4C specifically, I feel like a large factor in determining whether a candidate has a "good shot" is twofold - the statement and the answers to questions. From my experience, these two are what voters mostly look at, and as such it's generally one of these two that sink a candidate. For the "borderline" candidacies, my impression of what leads to them barely failing - or barely passing - is that their experience and matrix is heavy, but their answers to questions and/or statement falls short. If I remember correctly, we've also had users failing because they're running from a home wiki which already has two of their community members on the U4C, and would be overrepresented with a third - which can be a bit unfortunate but also understandable. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 08:10, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

* Personally, I think communication, experience, the candidate statement, and answers to questions matter the most here. While global contributions may also have an impact, I believe a candidate's familiarity with policies and processes, as well as their behavior and general conduct, are especially important. In my opinion, users who are not prone to conflict, act in good faith, and are able to find common ground tend to inspire more trust. Sincerely, [[User:Qədir|Qədir]] ([[User talk:Qədir|talk]]) 11:39, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

*Honestly, that description still doesn’t really map to me directly as a person or “label” me as either passing or failing. It more like describing a general type of candidate you see in U4C elections, not a specific individual. So I wouldn’t take it as something saying “this is you” or anything close to that. If I look at it in a personal way, the main point I take is that U4C isn’t just about being active or having edits, it’s more about trust, judgement, and how people feel you will act in difficult or sensitive situations. That part is what usually decides support or oppose. But saying it fits me specifically? I don’t think it’s accurate to say that from just that description alone. It’s too general, and elections are usually more complex than that anyway.*A candidate who barely crosses the 60% mark in a U4C election is usually someone the community mostly trusts, but not without a bit of hesitation here and there. [[User:Pharouqenr|Pharouqenr]] ([[User talk:Pharouqenr|Talk]]) 14:15, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* It depends on the voting system. Since it is a Securepoll election where voters can't see preliminary results and change their vote accordingly or react to preliminary results, both options are in the same margin of error of typical qualification metrics. E.g. 59% is almost as good as 61%, with no statistically significant difference, because the values may switch if voted on another day. Therefore, the first candidate is almost as suitable to voters as the second with no big difference, but there technically needs to be a cut-off. This is very different in typical wiki elections, where voters can react to the openly visible preliminary results. But to get back to the question about a suitable candidate's qualifications: a certain amount of community trust. Now voters are very heterogenous. My personal preferences for a U4C member would be: experiences with conflict management/resolution and teamwork. And, coming from a wiki where an arbcom member only needs >50% support, i personally would not expect too many qualifications from a candidate, because the group brings a lot of different qualifications to the table and everyone learns from everone else. The U4C colleagues also love to help, in my experience. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 14:47, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* The candidates' answers to questions and the candidate statement are significant and increases/decreases the support votes. The candidate's judgement skills, and intentions are very decisive. Every contributor is important but showing your competency and accuracy to the community has an impact on the candidate's votes. Regards.--[[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 16:52, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* My impression is that a large degree of what leads to getting over the 60% mark is the answers to the questions primarily. A candidate who answers questions from the community in a satisfactory manner to said community members is, in my impression, going to receive more favorable results, because the questions afford the community the ability to see the candidate's judgement on full display, for better or for worse. This leads somewhat into the reasons a candidate could miss that 60% threshold. The first would obviously be poor answers to the community, to which they should be accountable. Another would also be, as EPIC has already mentioned above, the home-wiki of the candidate, as some voters prefer to not have a U4C composition relying too heavily on a singular or a few home-wikis. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 18:00, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Several factors come to play when voters decide on a candidate: past activity, years and depth of experience in general and with respect to other candidates, I think a candidate who barely crosses the 60% threshold is someone who might have given unsatisfactory answers during the elections, and/or had past problematic behavior that led part of the voters to vote against, or the candidate wasn't able to convince voters that these past problematic decisions or behavior have been overcome, that he or she changed his/her attitude for the better. Same thing for the candidate who misses the threshold, here just a bit larger group of voters voted against.--[[User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح Mohamed Ahmed]] ([[User talk:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح|talk]]) 20:25, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* I think my opinion on a candidate who should barely cross/miss the threshold is different to who ''would'' in reality. I personally as a voter treat the answers to the questions as more important than other factors like committee or functionary experience because they have the opportunity to shine through and actually show how they would act on the committee to everyone else. So on that, I think a candidate who just misses the 60% threshold should be one who has the given related experience but answers to the questions are lacklustre, and a candidate that just crosses is one that has less administrative experience than is ideal (plenty of admin experience and less committee experience) but reasonable answers. In reality, as we saw in 2025 as EPIC already mentioned, we had a good candidate who was, at least publicly, somewhat punished for his dewiki ArbCom background (as we already have two former dewiki ArbCom members on the committee) and missed getting in by two support votes, and he wouldn't be the type of candidate that I would put on this boundary level particularly given the number of members we have at the minute. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 23:20, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Hello, My answer would be neither should be judged on the percentage alone. A candidacy should be taken based on the quality of candidates answers, their interactions with the community, their local administrative experience, and their cross-wiki contributions and conduct. Running U4C candidacy needs to have a person who is open-minded, responsible, respectable, safe, and efficient. Some candidates who barely miss the 60% threshold, or even score much lower, may still possess the qualities needed for the role. There are many reasons not to achieve the percentage. 
: In short, the threshold does not always capture the full picture of a candidate’s potential or their value to the movement. 
: Otherwise, if you are looking for straight answer for the question, in the perfect situation, the user contributions on wikiprojects, answers and attitude he is doing would reflect on the percentage of elections; thus, I would go for who had higher voting, and that is what U4C elections are now (60% or more).
: On the other hand, more practically, several issues affect candidacy, like not being able to reflect clearly on the answers, which could lead to barely missing the threshold; thus, giving this opportunity to the user could lead to having a really good user in position.--[[User:SanBonne|SanBonne]] ([[User talk:SanBonne|talk]]) 23:35, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Many candidates have already given great answers on this, so I don't really have much new to add. In my view, a candidate who barely crosses the 60% threshold typically has solid relevant experience and mostly good answers to questions, but leaves some voters with slight reservations. A candidate who barely misses the threshold is often very similar in background, yet their responses possibly come across as slightly less convincing to just enough voters. I assume that in such close cases the quality and nuance of the answer usually make the difference as they best demonstrate judgment and trustworthiness.--[[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 23:59, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Hi, thanks for the question. These kinds of doubts are challenging because we are not talking only about a username; we're discussing the effort, time, and willingness to be a volunteer in a committee. Being a volunteer member in any committee represents a tough challenge, both in terms of online participation and in the real world. If a person barely makes it in the election, they might face a challenge of perceived legitimacy. While the person is elected, the narrow approval suggests that their election is not universal. In this case, the member should put additional effort into transparency and community engagement, because sometimes case resolutions impact specific communities, and some of them seem to be too silent to support or give feedback to the U4C. On the other hand, if a person loses the election by 1%, it is a discouraging moment for the volunteer. The person puts in the effort and time, so they see not being elected as an immediate failure. But this failure is not only for the candidate; the community also needs to reflect on why that person missed the seat. What do we need to ask regarding the capacity or conditions to be met when choosing someone for this committee?. To complement this, I believe we must also consider whether the current voting system truly reflects the diversity needed within the U4C. At times, the raw 60% threshold fails to show if we are losing a mediation expert or a representative from a key region—factors that are just as vital as the percentage itself. [[User:Superzerocool|Superzerocool]] ([[User talk:Superzerocool|talk]]) 13:14, 11 May 2026 (UTC) (ps: I used AI to correct grammar)
* IMO the difference between 59.5% and 60.5% is actually very small in practice. I don't think it's possible to definitively determine why someone passed or failed because of just 1%p. A failed candidate may have had less experience than the successful candidate. Or, may simply have failed to present their qualifications effectively. They may also have had conflicts with several users, or perhaps some users who were unfamiliar with the candidate simply didn't like the candidate's username. Nevertheless setting a 60% threshold is the fairest method because it applies equally to everyone. A candidate may be lucky or unlucky, but in the end, they still need to continue proving their suitability for the role.

* To be honest judging other participants is a little bit uncomfortable for me, because the idea of this vote is not to get more points, but to choose the best candidates. In my opinion, the decisive factors are the candidate's experience and his statement along with the answers to the questions. Since the expectations of voters vary greatly, it is difficult to clearly assess what a given group expects. For me personally, the most important thing is the candidate's experience and a factor that I don't think anyone mentioned: red flags on websites such as [[User:Giraffer/U4C2026]] or [[User:SHB2000/U4C guide 2026]]. Barely crossing the 60% mark may indicate some issues, though not necessarily disqualifying. However, I personally wouldn't consider failing to reach the 60% mark a failure, but rather a victory for the better candidate. [[User:Ptjackyll|'''ptjackyll''']] ([[User talk:Ptjackyll|''leave a message'']]) 19:36, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

* Many factors can influence voters’ opinions to different degrees. I will leave aside [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2026/Candidates guide|objective elements]], such as previous experience and any past problematic behavior, which surely carry more weight. A candidate, especially if they are not already well-known, has limited space to present themselves clearly and honestly, and to answer questions. In my opinion, these two things are important not only to show the candidate’s familiarity with conflict resolution and policy management, but also because they help understand their judgment and personal attitude. For this kind of role, I would expect a candidate capable of projecting a calm, thoughtful, and detail-oriented approach, aimed cooling down tense situations rather than imposing their own personality. The work should be collaborative and well-coordinated, so that it can be effective and carried out within reasonable timeframes. I think a candidate may cross the 60% threshold if they have sufficient experience and generally good answers, but still leave some doubts among part of the voters. A candidate who barely misses the threshold may have a similar profile, but fail to clearly convey balance, reliability, or ability to work in delicate situations. The difference can therefore be minimal: not only a matter of experience, but also of what the candidate manages to convey. I also think that more external factors can play a role, such as the size of one’s home wiki or the risk of overrepresentation of the same community. --[[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 22:26, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

* My observation is that U4C elections are heavily trust based. Although competence and policy knowledge matter, voters would also look for neutrality, and the ability to work respectfully. Because of that, even capable candidates may end up near the threshold if the broader qualities are not met from the community point of view. There can be many reasons why voters may not support otherwise qualified candidates, including simply not being familiar with them. I do not believe in a case where a difference of one or two votes reflects a tangible difference. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 16:24, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

* The answers to who should pass and who would pass are unfortunately different. The community has thus far been very cautious in choosing U4C members. As a result, the U4C has struggled to maintain quorum, let alone a consistent and sustainable level of activity. In my view, candidates need to be experienced with dispute resolution; familiar with the expectations for use of administrative and functionary tools; and able to engage respectfully with communities and cultures they are unfamiliar with. Recent sanctions for misconduct are disqualifying. Candidates with additional experience, such as serving on an Arbitration Committee, may do better. Three candidates in past elections barely missed the threshold. I don't think voters need my analysis of each unique situation, but I do not have any reason to believe those three editors were not fit for serving on the U4C.

===Q2===
This question is about the following item listed in the UCoC under "Expected behavior": ''"Looking out for fellow contributors: Lend them a hand when they need support, and speak up for them when they are treated in a way that falls short of expected behaviour as per the Universal Code of Conduct."''
How do you approach this principle when doing so may put you at odds with people in positions of power, such as administrators? Do you have any examples (share the diffs please, if possible; examples that show some power difference, e. g. before you became an admin or from a project where you are not an admin would be preferred) of situations where you followed this principle even under such circumstances? Also, do you have any general thoughts about the risks that this may put our community members in, if they choose to follow this principle? [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 19:56, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Users should be respectful of local communities, especially communities they do not know or are not part of. As a steward, since we are not arbitrators or mediators, I am generally quite conflict-averse and tend to refrain from interfering in communities where my input may be negatively received. From my experiences in that role, we have occasionally been dragged into issues where global community members have gotten into conflicts with a local community. In such cases, our principle is to do the minimum necessary, redirect the issue to the relevant bodies, and being especially careful with making comments or taking actions. Many of these times, the same applies to the U4C. While one will regularly deal with complex cases as a U4C member, the U4C is a coordination committee and not a medcom. If one is unsure about something, one should discuss it with others (and possibly leave it to someone more suited to handle it), which is especially important for this committee, given that a lot of the work consists of off-wiki discussion and coordination. That is one of the reasons why the U4C needs more than the minimum, given that some members may have personal involvement or may lack other important factors (such as language/community knowledge). [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 20:30, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* Administrators are still members of the community, and so should be approached with the same respect and good faith given to any member of a community. Certainly there are those who are either more or less reasonable than others, but I do not see that as necessarily being reflected solely by the holding of advanced permissions. While I acknowledge the idea of [[w:social capital|social capital]], and in some cases it does play a part in decisions, it should not, and the continual pursuit of someone who hopes to improve the wiki should be to minimize the amount that social capital plays a role. I don't disagree, though, with the general idea that it can be daunting for some to speak up to behavior that falls short of the expectation the UCoC esablishes, because many are conflict-adverse, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 21:27, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
* In my view, administrators are contributors whose main task is to keep the project clean. Beyond the few technical tools they have access to, they are not hierarchically superior or more powerful than any other user. Being an admin is not what matters most; what truly counts is acting with common sense, justice, and neutrality. Every community member is protected by project policies, and no one should be looked down upon by administrators. In this journey, which I find very meaningful, we are a small group of volunteers, and we must ensure that no one feels pushed away from the platform. Therefore, our policies must always come first.--[[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 22:46, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

*During my admin role on Arabic Wikipedia, I have dealt with several situations that relate to this principle. The first action is reaching an appropriate page for discussion (village pump, users’ page, discussion of the article, etc.) to understand the situation and ensure transparency and allow all parties to be heard and help to approach the point of view, whether they are admins or newcomers who have a conflict. If they are admins or newcomers, I believe they have the same standards that should be applied. I prefer not to share any links for the bad attitudes of the users because I believe that won’t support my answer and could revive old conflicts or affect other users badly. Mentioning that, this behavior should be done with neutrality and respect for the policies.
:There are real risks that could be faced when doing this role, such as reporting against me to different charters from the local community to the international one, and it could even sometimes affect your life outside the Wikimediaverse.
:In short, this principle should be handled with neutrality, fairness, courage, and responsibility to the rights we handle. [[User:SanBonne|SanBonne]] ([[User talk:SanBonne|talk]]) 23:32, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

* I believe that every user is equal and that their rights should be protected. Any user should be able to raise concerns to the U4C, and naturally, if there is a genuine issue, it should be reviewed carefully and a decision should be made accordingly. Outside of serious cases, however, I do not think local wikis should be interfered with too easily. In my view, such matters should first be communicated to the relevant project and the involved administrator(s), and the necessary steps should primarily be taken by the local community or the parties involved.

: I just want to point out that, before I became an admin, there was a page where admins made important decisions among themselves. (This page had existed for many years.) However, since some of those decisions affected the whole community, I opposed this practice. Even after becoming an admin, I held the same view and opened a discussion to abolish that page, which was eventually done. Later, I created a new page where the entire community could participate in decision-making, and it was accepted. My objection was based on the idea that admins are not more important than other users. I was also concerned that they could, like anyone else, make biased decisions and that there was a risk of decisions being influenced by informal grouping.

* Generally, when asked personally about a conflict, i give advice via Wikimail. This permits to ask for problems that i may have overlooked. The private setting of the conversation has some advantages: a more open communication and no interference. But when giving advice privately, please keep in mind that email content can be published at some point. In my time before i became an arb in 2014 (i became arb first, then admin in 2019), i often did not have enough experience to feel safe giving advice without making a fool out of myself. Gradually, by communicating with others, reading discussions, and reading the rule pages over and over i learned the possibilites and limitations, and ways to change things without causing much conflict. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 04:59, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

*For me, “looking out for fellow contributors” means trying to help users to improve when they make mistake, especially new editors, while also making sure vandalism or disruptive edit are handled properly.
:When I deal with vandalism cases, I normally start with warnings and explanations first, so the user can understand what was wrong and how to edit correctly. If the behavior continues after warning, then I may escalate it based on local policies.
:Some examples of warnings I gave are [https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tattaunawar_user:Zahrah0&diff=671925&oldid=572499 here] and [https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tattaunawar_user:Abubakar_Yusuf_Gusau&diff=807965&oldid=735544 here]
:In those situations, my aim was not just to warn them, but also to guide them so they can contribute better and to also understand the project rules.
:I also reviewed a cases where a user later improved and I removed the block after seeing changes in the behavior: see it [https://ha.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Musamman:Log&logid=169346 here]
:I believe enforcement should not only be about punishment, but also giving all people opportunity to improve if they are willing to follow all the rules.
:In situations involving more experienced users or disagreements, I always try to stay calm and focuses more on policy and evidence instead of personal arguments.
:I think there can be risks sometimes, like misunderstandings or disagreements from other users, but I still believe it is important to apply policies fairly and consistently for everybody. [[User:Pharouqenr|Pharouqenr]] ([[User talk:Pharouqenr|Talk]]) 06:04, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
*After I became director of our regional user group I was responsible for enforcing the Friendly Space Policy and UCoC at all offline meetings and events. During this journey, some participants had been around much longer than me, had way higher social capital or had even held very senior positions including former Board members and Trustees. Even then, whenever I received reports of harassment or inappropriate behaviour I still stepped in. I believe that once you accept the responsibility you also accept the duty to protect fellow contributors even if it means upsetting some very popular or influential people. To me, it is important to focus on the issue not the person.
:In one zhwiki ArbCom case we had, an editor reported problematic behaviour by a user who had a lot of support. While handling that case I insisted that all evidence be anonymized and the whole matter be discussed and reviewed privately, if we have to disclose something it must be deidentified to protect the reporter from backlash. Even if that person can easily influence other editors to vote me out in the next ArbCom election, I still do what I have to do. In the end I keep my seat because I did what I should have done.
:I know there are real risks for anyone who follows this principle. People who get sanctioned can retaliate because they feel they have nothing left to lose. But I think that’s why those of us who have extra responsibilities and permissions should use them to help protect more vulnerable members. -[[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 09:48, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
* I believe this principle is part of the nature of Wikipedia: collaboration. Sometimes we have biases in our way of seeing the world, and people are not always impartial, so having more voices in the discussion helps us to be clearer and more focused on a possible case resolution. The possibility of helping others to create a more friendly and easy-going Wikimedia space is the goal for this project. Because Wikipedia and its sister projects are made by humans, we will speak, discuss, and disagree more frequently than we might think. Therefore, being a team or committee member is not only about reading cases and being a judge; it is about being part of the community, reading, and trying to understand others before seeking the 'best solution possible' for the parties involved. Sometimes we need more empowered voices to speak up for others. While this kind of behavior might seem rude in some online spaces, in our project, we should see it as a fundamental part of building human knowledge. My guiding principle is to hear or read everyone before making a statement. Following the rules —informed by my past experience as a public official in real life— and being clear about decisions and their implications is the best way to de-escalate conflicts. I don't know everything, so I always strive to reach a consensus with others before making a final statement or resolution.

:@[[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] There are many examples where I tried to object to a wrong block decision by other admins, or report what I see as offences by other members who are admins. The most recent of which are with the temp arb committee that has been established in ArWiki, check [[w:ar:Special:diff/72226835|this message]] where I have reported what I saw as provocative remarks made by 2 parties. If you check further in the following history of this talk page, I have sent private emails, some of which were reporting and contrasting the way non-admins are treated compared to admins with respect to the blocking for behavioral violations, one other email I reported a very questionable block that turned out to be just plain wrong. There are many past examples for me, unfortunately this kind of action is not received reasonably by some. Words like obstructionism عرقلة or futile discussion نقاش عقيم has been used when participating in such discussions.
:Of course there are risks involved when speaking up, one risks being called an obstructionist, or being threatened with a block. But for myself, I find it very hard not to object to some act that I know is wrong, and as member with years of experience and an admin, one has an additional duty to speak up to try to remove injustice.

* We have to recognise that as much as I don't like to say it, admins are in a position of power, with that they can really deter new users as well, so if I see a situation where I believe an admin is misusing their rights or scaring away a new user, I will tell them. I have been doing this since before I became an admin on my homewiki and continued to do when I was an admin even if it technically put me "at odds" with other admins that had been around for longer than me. On our wiki we had a case where an admin repeatedly deleted pages without providing explanation in policy to the point it likely deterred quite a few other users and could even count as a UCoC violation under 3.3 that I addressed numerous times. There was another case where a new user's pages were nuked for complexity (which is important to avoid on Simple English Wikipedia) and threatened with blocks but the pages weren't complex as it first seemed and it seemed a clear bite, so I restored the pages and tried to ease the new user. I would prefer not to link these as all these contributors are no longer active so I don't want to give them a ton of visibility, but as you did ask for diffs I'd be willing to send them to ElectCom and yourself privately to verify these happened if needed. Individual communities should be ensuring that all users aren't scared to scrutinise other admins' actions so concerns aren't immediately written off, so there should ideally be no risk for community members, though I appreciate even on my own homewiki in the distant past there have been cases of blocks made for simply questioning other abusive blocks. In cases where the community feel scared to report UCoC violations, this is where the U4C can step in as reports can be made anonymously. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 00:10, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
* First of all, I don't consider users with advanced permissions, such as administrators, to be "people in power." Users with permissions and users without them should naturally be treated equally. However there are sometimes users who misunderstand advanced permissions as authority and act accordingly. In such cases, I think the system is generally designed well enough that, if the UCoC is properly followed, the issue can be resolved either at the community level or, in more serious situations, through outside intervention from the Foundation, stewards, the U4C, or similar bodies.{{pb}}I have had several experiences mediating between admins and non-adminis. The most memorable case for me was one in which an admin blocked non-admin user during an ongoing dispute. After the block the blocked user appealed it, and I first listened to the arguments from both sides. While I thought there were some understandable aspects to the block, I ultimately concluded the admin had misused their tools in this case. A more detailed explanation of my reasoning can be found at [[ko:특수:GoToComment/c-기나ㅏㄴ-20250715035400-차단_재검토|this link]]. Even after the unblock, lengthy discussions continued. But in the end, the two users reconciled and the matter was resolved without major issues.{{pb}}Although this is simply a matter of following basic principles, it's not always easy to conclude that an admin's judgment was wrong and to overturn that decision. Nevertheless I believe it is more important to trust the community's systems and follow established principles. In the end, I believe that following these principles generally leads to better outcomes.

* Disagreeing with an administrator or someone with significant influence in the community is always difficult, especially if the other user chooses to ignore you, although there is no hierarchy in between user groups. I believe in good faith, and I prefer to assume that people may not realize the impact of their actions, but I also have never hesitated to share my opinion. Especially when I believe that an incorrect action has been taken. I prefer not to share links to past conflicts here. My approach is always to focus on the action and the policy, rather than the individuals. Speaking up against someone in a position of power could have unwanted effects, such as retaliation or burnout, which I have witnessed throughout my journey. Disagreeing with anyone should not carry any risks. This is precisely why the UCoC and bodies like this committee matter. I believe the committee has a responsibility to ensure that reporting mechanisms are accessible and take all concerns seriously, regardless of who is involved. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 16:57, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
* Perceiving people with higher privileges, such as administrators, as people in power is unfortunately a common misunderstanding of their role. I can provide an example that affected me personally. Until 2024, I was a person without higher rights, after my resignation two years earlier. During that time, a situation arose in which I became involved in a matter involving the activity of two other users. One of the administrators at the time, who defended their position, [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specjalna:Rejestr?type=block&user=PG&page=Wikipedysta%3APtjackyll&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= blocked] my account for one day. After about 90 minutes another administrator [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specjalna:Rejestr?type=block&user=Piastu&page=Wikipedysta%3APtjackyll&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= removed] the ban and the case finally ended in Arbitration Comittee. ArbCom [https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Komitet_Arbitrażowy/Wnioski_o_arbitraż/(4/2022)_ptjackyll_–_PG decided] that the blocking administrator's permissions has to revoked. This situation taught me that the position of an administrator is sometimes poorly perceived by themselves and can easily lead to abuse. However, because the creation of free content on Wikimedia projects is based on collaboration, members of the Coordination Committee must listen to the arguments of the parties involved and understand their situation. [[User:Ptjackyll|'''ptjackyll''']] ([[User talk:Ptjackyll|''leave a message'']]) 19:41, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

* An administrator (and similar advanced permissions) should only have a technical role, but since these are usually experienced users who have received the community’s trust, their opinions often carry a lot of weight, sometimes too much.
:Both recently and when I was just a user, I have had discussions with users and administrators with stronger personalities who were difficult to deal with, but never anything that became a violation. However, I have seen users struggle to express their opinion when they feel like they're facing a wall, and in most cases they simply leave the discussion. Sometimes this imbalance can create unhealthy dynamics. In these situations, it is important to discuss the facts and focus on the content rather than attacking people. If the basic principles are not respected, most projects usually have dedicated pages and procedures where the issue can be brought for a more neutral evaluation and possible checks.
:We should always keep respectful relationships, not only in our local community, but especially when we are guests in another one. In that situation, if I came across a problematic situation, I would avoid immediately stepping into the conflict, at least until it becomes necessary. I would first prefer to speak with a trusted local user or direct the issue to a competent local body, also to make communication easier and respect local procedures. If I saw that the situation kept getting worse and nobody intervened, then I would step in personally, mainly trying to calm the situation down. In these cases, I think it is important to distinguish between supporting a person, verifying the facts, and managing the conflict correctly: supporting someone does not automatically mean agreeing with them, but making sure they can express themselves and be heard fairly. I think speaking against influential users can have a cost, and this is also why communities should try to make it safer to do so. --[[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 22:19, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

*I am not afraid of standing up for what is right. Perhaps the best example is [[c:Commons:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Nathannah|this one]], where I argued against an erroneous CheckUser result which led to two incorrect blocks on a project where I have no extended rights. On my home wiki, I have reviewed (and criticized) administrative actions since long before I was an administrator. Some examples: [[w:en:Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2024_December_2|1+2]], [[w:en:User_talk:Daniel_Case/Archive_27_4/15/2025-3/21/2026#Semi-protection_of_First_Saudi_state|3]], [[w:en:User_talk:Ritchie333/Archive_139#Close_of_WP:Articles_for_deletion/2024_Nepal_Premier_League_(2nd_nomination)|4]], and [[w:en:User_talk:Ritchie333/Archive_140#-ington|5]]; the last, about respecting consensus on other projects, seems especially relevant.
:The first step of helping others is ensuring one's own safety. I generally trust that people we put in positions of responsibility will not retaliate against me, but if another contributor does not feel safe providing help to a fellow editor or standing up to someone in a position of power, ''we should not expect them to do so''. This is reflected in the UCoC, which lists "looking out for fellow contributors" as a behavior we "strive for", not an inflexible rule. Instead, we should provide a way for such contributors to report their concerns privately to the people responsible for resolving such issues, be that other local admins, a local ArbCom, the U4C, or another body.

=== Q4 ===
A Dutch Wikipedia user consistently refuses to use die/diens despite a user preferring use of those pronouns on their talk page. They do so on the basis that as an [[wikipedia:nl:NT2|NT2]] user, they are unfamiliar with such usage and prefer to stick with "standard" language (which would be gender-specific). Using the U4C charter, your research into nl.wikipedia when answering this question, and anything else you find relevant, give your opinion to this issue. Will your answer change if the user is a native speaker of Dutch?

''Note that the standard expected is that of a U4C member that is presenting their first thoughts, after researching on this matter. Assume that merely referring to the community or using the Dutch ArbCom is not an option. It is important to share your thought process and reasoning for this question.''

[[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] ([[User talk:Leaderboard|talk]]) 19:07, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* The argument NT2 is insufficient for repetition. There are tools that can help rephrase, and the correct form is easy to learn. For a native speaker, the arguments for repetition are even weaker, there were none given. So, the first step is to warn. Then we will see. In case of repetition, other options will be discussed. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 20:03, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* If a user explicitly states that they want to others to use gender-neutral pronouns when referring to them, others should respect that. Obviously no one is going to be dwelling on a single mistaken pronoun use, but point 2.1 explicitly calls for respect of other editors and adressing fellow editors with their desired pronouns is in my opinion one of the minimums in that end - and as already brought up, it is easy to remember the correct pronouns and rephrase accordingly as needed. This applies regardless of whether they are NT2 or native, but even more so for the latter. [[User:EPIC|EPIC]] ([[User talk:EPIC|talk]]) 20:20, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* Everyone should be respectful to each other's preferred gender pronouns and gender identities. It does not matter the user is a native speaker or not. Researching and finding the needed information is easy in nowadays. Therefore, with assuming good faith, the user should be warned firstly. If the user continues after a warning without a valid explanation and repeats the wrong pronoun, other choices will and should be considered.--[[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 21:09, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* The fact that they've consistently refused means they have already been told it is an issue, so they are actively choosing to misgender the user. As a consequence, I would treat that mistake just as if they were a native user. I'd warn them and if they then continued, blocks would probably follow quickly. --[[User:Ferien|Ferien]] ([[User talk:Ferien|talk]]) 22:45, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
* Since this user has an intermediate level of Dutch, the initial mispronouns may be understandable. However, if they received an explanation for the error and continue to make it, this is considered as a disrespectful behavior, contrary to section 2.1, point 3 of the UCoC. If appealing to the Arbitration Committee or the community is not an option, the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the U4C, and the first step is a warning. If the user were a native speaker, I would be even a little less lenient, as the argument of lack of language proficiency doesn't apply here.

*Assuming that person is already well informed about the preferred pronouns and repeatedly refusing to use them.
:I believe the U4C has jurisdiction in this matter given that the local decision-making body (arbcom) is not being used here and because of UCoC section 2.1 Mutual respect: {{quote| “Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves. … People who identify with a certain sexual orientation or gender identity using distinct names or pronouns … As a sign of respect, use these terms when communicating with or about these people, where linguistically or technically feasible.”}}
:Looking into [[:wikt:die#Dutch]] and [[:en:Gender_neutrality_in_languages_with_grammatical_gender]]: while it is not yet the most common standard form it is linguistically feasible. The not standard Dutch argument therefore does not override the UCoC expectation once the preference has been clearly communicated.
:The key factor here is consistency of refusal after being informed. Initial mistakes by an NT2 Dutch as a second language editor is totally understandable. However once the user has been told the preferred pronouns, the language proficiency defence loses most of its weight. If someone is competent enough to edit and communicate on the Dutch Wikipedia then they surely are capable of learning and applying a small number of specific pronouns or rephrasing sentences accordingly. A final warning should be given to cease this behaviour immediately and a block will be applied if such behavior occurs again (native or not).—[[User:Borschts|'''Borschts''']] [[User talk:Borschts|'''Talk''']] 11:28, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

* I think they may not be aware of this, and if it is still consciously disregarded after a warning, then this is no longer something that can be tolerated.

* Hi, sorry for being late. I'm aware of the key issue regarding not being fluent or a native speaker of a language; it can be very frustrating because you don't know if you're writing, talking, or referring to others respectfully or in a proper manner. In this case, I prefer to review the language nuances and understand the differences, examining the user's history to see if these problems are only due to a language barrier or if they are recurrent. After that, I'll try to reinforce the idea to the user about the proper manner to interact with others. If the person is a native speaker —as mentioned in the question— my evaluation process would be the same: we need to investigate, but in this case, I'm less empathetic about language differences, because the user knows the proper way to refer to others. This kind of interaction is not accepted and we can't tolerate it. In the decisions, I prefer to apply gradual measures when contacting, correcting, or imposing any sanction on users. Disagreeing or just misinterpreting a statement is very easy because we're using text-based communication, and being supportive is not the same as being tolerant.

* The use of a gendered pronoun against another user's preference is a problem, for reasons which others have pointed out already, namely being in violation of the UCoC considering the other person has already asked to have die/diens used instead. That the community is not available in this case is troubling, though the Dutch Arbitration Committee currently has no members, and thus the community lacks a high-level decision making body. While the possibility of a block or warning has been brought up, it's important to also remember that these aren't necessarily the only tools available for enforcing the U4C. It is entirely possible that there is no malice intended and a native speaker familiar with the nuances of pronoun use can explain their importance. I wouldn't think my answer would change for a native speaker, though I would want to know why, if they are a native speaker, they would insist that they are unfamiliar with die/diens usage. The rationale used of being NT2 does not seem to necessarily apply in the event the situation described was changed to that of the first user being a native speaker.

* Hello, Respect is essential in the Wikimedia projects and events, and using the appropriate pronouns is a reflection of this. Accordingly, I think fluency matters at first glance, but if the user mentions the correct way to be addressed, this should be respected and used. On the other hand, the speaker did not use the wrong pronoun by mistake, but insisted on it. Thus, from my point of view, this could be handled locally by the admins through warnings and then escalated to blocking the user, as it is violating the main policy: '''"Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves."''' that applies across all Wikimedia projects and events before being raised to the U4C.--[[User:SanBonne|SanBonne]] ([[User talk:SanBonne|talk]]) 15:31, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

* Article 2.1 of the code states Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves. If only look at the given scenario, if the user was warned properly, I don't see how the behaviour would be appropriate. Examining whether the user is genuinely confused or deliberately ignoring this preference would be necessary. Ultimately it might be considered as a UCoC violation. This is regardless of whether it is their native language. --[[User:ToprakM|'''''ToprakM''''']] [[User talk:ToprakM|✉]] 17:35, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Hypothetical case scenario question: A Hokkien-speaking user (Hokkien = nan) leaves you a talk page message about zhwiki admins suppressing (in the literal sense, not the OS sense) their use of Hokkien. They do so by threatening blocks for users promoting the Hokkien language and removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible.

Additionally, what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion?

:Thanks for your question and I apologize that this might be a long text:
:Q1: Earlier I added [[m:Special:Diff/30514471|this section for transparency]]. I think it was a fair result given that at the time I lacked of community governance experience and people simply dont know who I was. I realized that the U4C has a broad jurisdiction and heavy responsibilities, so after I wasn't elected, I spent a lot of time observing the committee's work. I discovered that because U4C intervention inherently means a community or group is experiencing systemic failure, you have to be very precise about when to intervene and when to let the community resolve things themselves. This involves a lot of work assessing local community structures and practices, understanding the community's culture, and being extremely careful to ensure the UCoC applies while using local resolution channels as much as possible to encourage handling issues at the local level. The U4C work really tends toward deescalating situations and cooling down conflicts rather than playing the role of an active arbitrator. I believe that's why it's called the coordinating committee rather than something about enforcement. I think my work in the affiliation aspect (Hub, Usergroup) has equipped me with these skills since I have to understand what challenges they (affiliates and communities in our region) are facing and decide what resources we are distributing to them.
:Q2: After the [[m:Office actions/September 2021 statement|zhwiki OA2021 (Foundation's action)]], we saw a decline in the number of admins on zhwiki and users split into different factions accusing each other of connections to banned groups and applying labels. These conflicts multiplied and keep occupying the ANM, which created a vicious cycle where fewer people were willing to deal with disputes. However I don't think the Foundation's intervention was unnecessary. [[m:Office actions/September 2021 statement|As they said at the time]], the community was "captured". There were so many of them that it was basically impossible to get the disruptors out using fair voting mechanisms like RFDA or desysop (trust me we already tried that). But after that effective external intervention, the community also needed to fill in its own gaps. For a long time the establishment of an arbitration committee on Chinese Wikipedia had been rejected because people feared it would lead to oligarchy. In reality though, a large group of admins and functionaries gathered together could also easily form an underground government. Systemic failure happens because the system has vulnerabilities. This taught me that driving out individuals who exploit those vulnerabilities doesn't solve the systemic failure. In the end communities still need to think about how to prevent the breakdown of order. Thats why we have ArbCom now.
:Every Wiki project is unique and has its own culture, so looking at community situations purely from the perspective of one's homewiki can introduce bias. My experience with the ArbCom has shown me that we ourselves will almost always understand the root causes of behavioral problems, the full context of conflicts, and what led to them better than any external body. So I would think critically to ensure that intervention is necessary, unavoidable, and falls within the UCoC's scope. However ArbCom also taught me that when the potential impact is major, especially involving safety and privacy, effective intervention must happen quickly. The kind of community reform I mentioned can take a great deal of time, so in those situations I believe U4C intervention is still necessary and ideal. I hope to help the committee distinguish when strong intervention is needed and when it is better to provide the community with practical reform suggestions.

U4C was by some interpreted as a new global Arbitration Committee planned on top of the English Wikipedia local counterpart.

How would someone entrust you that being elected wouldn’t start an English Wikipedia oriented push in decision making? --'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 14:46, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:I tend to feel as though the {{tq|global Arbitration Committee}} interpretation is somewhat of a variance from the actual idea of the U4C. The U4C lacks essentially any authority on projects who already have a high-level decision-making body (ie: a local Arbitration Committee), and this is by design. The only exception to this is a determination that there has been a systemic failure, which is in general a high bar. Even in instances in which a high-level decision-making body does not exist and thus has not acted, the U4C only retains the authority to act on violations of the UCoC, not garden variety disputes. I'm not sure if I particularly understand what you mean by {{tq|an English Wikipedia oriented push}}, but decisions should be made based on a manner of thinking of what action (or lack thereof) will cause a party to return to compliance with the UCoC. They should not be based on loyalty to a particular project or its members. [[User:EggRoll97|EggRoll97]] ([[User talk:EggRoll97|talk]]) 17:50, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

You're not an admin on your home wiki (which is perfectly fine for U4C). Reflecting on your last [[:w:en:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/EggRoll97 2|failed RfA]], do you see the issues raised in your second RfA to impose a hurdle as a U4C member? //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 01:21, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:I've looked through again with some time from it, and I don't think it will be a hurdle necessarily. With some exceptions (and certainly there are at least a notable couple), a large majority of the oppose !votes are in reference to content creation and deletion experience, which I tend to find is a more enwiki-specific criteria for adminship (or, more specifically, the weight given to such). For example, a few months after that RfA, I ended up becoming a sysop here on Meta. Even ''sans'' adminship, I certainly haven't stopped attempting to contribute in the best way I can to my homewiki. More relevant to whether it will be a hurdle, while I'm sure it can help in some matters, I don't think an admin bit specifically on one's homewiki is a necessity for a U4C member (as you have pointed out in your question as well).

:::RfA is a much different type of candidacy to an AELECT.

It is clear I underestimated the amount of !voters for whom content creation (or, more accurately, lacking amounts of such) is a dealbreaker. I think AmandaNP's comment in the bureaucrat chat hit it on the head, in part {{tq|It's clear the community values EggRoll97's work in edit filters and other technical areas.

You have extensive experience handling various types of (long-term) abuse.

:As for the first part of the question; it depends on the case, but as a general practice, U4C cases should be determined primarily based on the merit of the case, rather than the initiator. Of course, though, most such cases end up/will end up being closed or speedy closed ([[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2025/Admin conduct of BRPever on Simple English Wikipedia|example]]) to avoid feeding the trolls, which I also most of the time would consider the best approach. If a case would concern me in any way, I would however abstain from closing or voting on it, regardless of the actual merit, to avoid COIs.
:Regarding my stewardship, I will as a general practice abstain from performing any kind of U4C/UCoC related steward actions from my side, and if any motion passes requiring steward action, that action should be left for someone else to perform. Despite this I believe I would be valuable for the committee and for my fellow stewards, partly because I am experienced with dealing with complex cases and issues from other wikis, which would bring a different perspective to the U4C, but also because I as a U4C member would be happy to give my input if the stewards discuss performing UCoC related steward actions. The stewards work quite closely with the U4C and often coordinate with each other on UCoC enforcement, and I'll happily contribute to keeping the U4C-steward relationship positive, e.g. by keeping the other stewards/other U4C members updated on potential changes/plans from any of our sides.

:First of all, we can always bundle several cases with the same participants or the same problems into one case. In my opinion, the U4C has all necessary options to handle conflicts and i currently don't need more options, but we need more members for the workload.
:Recurring people can indicate e.g. a long-term conflict or forum shopping. Recurring problems may indicate an underlying governance issue and may have a cultural or political component. For example, we often receive case requests from projects where blocked users generally have talk page access removed and nobody responds to vrt-based appeal requests. Another example, in smaller projects: the same admin who blocked can decline an appeal request. Therefore, it can be very difficult to even get an appeal process started. I would not want to limit these requests. And frivolous case requests are easily recognised and declined. Our goal is to minimise requests by helping communities build a fair UCoC-compatible system that is able to handle these conflicts. --[[User:Ghilt|Ghilt]] ([[User talk:Ghilt|talk]]) 17:46, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Your candidacy has had various issues, all of which are ''really'' simple and could've been solved with a bit of reading (or are concerning for a sysop):
* Your [[Special:PermaLink/30483645|candidate statement]] states that you're running for the South Asia seat, even though this seat is already occupied by [[User:BRPever|BRPever]]. What was the specific thinking and/or logic behind this?
* You [[User_talk:JogiAsad#c-JogiAsad-20260507142100-Civvì-20260504123500|asked for help]] to add your candidate statement to the table because you were "confused in coding", even though it's literally just editing a table???
Linking to the two points: U4C involves a lot of attention to detail and careful reading – if you struggled to do something as simple as editing a table, or notice that the South Asia seat was already occupied, what redeeming quality or trait of yours do you have that you think you can showcase to the community that you're reasonably suited for the tasks U4C undertake?

Hi Kadı, first of all, thank you for all your contributions to Wikimedia projects, and good luck with this candidacy. My question concerns your activity in sockpuppet investigations on TrWiki. You happen to be one of the most active participants in that area, and in my opinion, unfortunately, you have often requested or endorsed checks that would not be justified under the Wikimedia global CheckUser policy. For instance, if the alleged multiple-account usage does not involve any impropriety such as double voting or ban evasion, I do not believe a CU check is justified, even if the account owner chooses not to declare the account due to potentially sensitive contributions. A CU check, by itself, is an invasive action against fellow Wikimedians, so it should only be used when there is a clear justification. As far as I know, one of our CheckUsers was recently reminded by the Ombuds Commission to follow the CU policy more closely after performing a CU check that had been endorsed by you. I was wondering what your perspective is on this matter. Thanks, [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 02:14, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

In my 6-year Wikipedia journey, I created lots of SPI cases. As a user, I have limited access to data.

However, I remember that CU @[[User:Vincent Vega|Vincent Vega]] clarified this situation [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Cases/2026/Repeated_CU_abuse_and_lack_of_meaningul_appeal_on_Turkish_Wikipedia&diff=prev&oldid=30459295 in Meta.] As a patroller, I do not have access to the data which indicated by @[[User:Elmacenderesi|Elmacenderesi]] in the SPI case.

::::Thank you for responding to the question, @[[User:Kadı|Kadı]]. If I may follow up, my original question actually was not limited to a single case but a general pattern, like in this discussion where you [https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kullanıcı_mesaj:Esc2003#c-Kadı-20250122110200-Elmacenderesi-20250122094300 appear to be encouraging] Elmacenderesi to be more aggressive in SPIs. But going back to 1denizakdemir's case, a quick disclosure: I also happen to be in touch with the Ombuds Commission related to 1denizakdemir's case, not knowing that they had separately contacted the commission. And what I can say is that 1denizakdemir's statement is quite consistent with what I was told, in that the commission ''has found certain issues with checks performed by Elmacenderesi and has reminded him to comply more closely with the Checkuser Policy in the future''. Now this nuance is important, I know you don't have access to CU data, but even before knowing anything, the check itself may not be compliant with the Global CU policy in certain situations, regardless of its outcomes.

:@[[User:A09|A09]], thanks for the questions. In Turkish Wikipedia, especially newcomers usually use AI tools for communicating in English. AI models suggest that users create a file at U4C.

These kinds of requests should be handled locally as a principle of subsidiarity.
:The other cases are mostly about the checkusers. Claims of misuse of the CU tools are handled by the Ombuds Commission, if I were a member of U4C, I would be declining these cases.
:Serial abusers (long-term abusers, sockpuppeteers, POV pushers) should not create requests to U4C because there are lots of open cases that await for a decision, and this behavior increases the workload.
:I may suggest that the Turkish Wikipedia administrators that they should not revoke talk page access at first time. I think this would be beneficial for handling requests locally. [[User:Kadı|'''Kadı''']] [[User talk:Kadı|'''Message''']] 16:27, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Your admin-related involvement on the Hausa Wikipedia is inherently tied to content creation. Since your community has not faced any case yet, do you think that brings any improvement to efficient case resolution by the U4C even considering your low experience with handling disputes?Mention Wikivoyage and Wikivoyage 
How would you mitigate different expectations of social norms brought by local African communities and the "Western" oriented UCOC?--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 16:03, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you @[[User:A09|A09]] for this important question, below is my response.
:It is true that most of my admin experiences on Hausa Wikipedia is more connected with content work, helping contributors, and also maintaining project quality than handling very serious conduct disputes. Also, our community has not really faced many major UCoC cases yet, so I understand why some people may see that as limited experience in dispute handling.
:But I dont think that automatically means I cannot contribute effectively in the U4C work. In growing communities, admins usually work closely with the contributors directly, helping calm tensions early, guiding discussions, and preventing smaller issues from becoming bigger conflicts. I believe that kind of experience also matters, even if it is not in a very formal setting.
:I am not an editor on Wikivoyage, but through interacting with contributors from different Wikimedia communities, I have learned that projects and regions do not always communicate or operate in exactly the same way. Different communities have different social expectations and communication styles, and I think U4C members should keep that in mind when reviewing cases.
:About African social norms and what some people describe as more “Western-oriented” interpretation of the UCoC, I think balance is important. The UCoC should remain universal in protecting contributors from harassment, discrimination, and abuse, but enforcement should also try to understand local context before making conclusions too quickly.
:For example, in some African communities, communication can sometimes be more direct or based around seniority, and from another cultural perspective that may sometimes be misunderstood as hostility too quickly. But at the same time, cultural differences should never become an excuse for clear harassment or harmful behaviour either.
:If elected, I would try to approach cases carefully, listen to all sides, and where necessary consult local communities before reaching conclusions. I think fair enforcement works best when universal principles are applied together with understanding of local realities across the movement.

Hi, happy to see someone run for CEE seat. Imagine you are being met with this imaginary case. A local small-wiki (only) admin is spreading elements of their culture that are not aligned with the current expectations of UCoC and gets blocked for stating same views on a larger wikiproject. After running out of community options they get before U4C. They claim the larger wiki did not respect their culture. What would your actions look like and would you declare a systemic failure for the smaller project? There is no definitive answer so I am interested in hearing your reasoning.--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 23:55, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
* Hello. Hypothetical situations are always difficult to address because there are so many factors that the answer may come down to "it depends". This is especially true when it comes to what the smaller wiki admin's actions were and how serious they were. On the one hand, we have a duty to share free knowledge and enable as many people as possible to participate in Wikimedia projects. On the other hand, we must create a safe, fair, and inclusive work environment for our creators. The described situation (like most) likely falls somewhere in between, and therefore, the response should also be a balanced one. There is no good answer to that question. Regarding the systemic failure of a smaller project, blocking a user who contributed substantively is always a failure for us as a movement, although it's not always our fault. Conflicts should be resolved and softened at the lowest possible level, so that as few as possible reach the Arbitration Committees or U4C.

Since being a member of the U4C ought to exhibit high trust in someone it should be clear their behaviour is aligned with both UCOC and ToS. Do you think your actions reflect those?

*{{u|SHB2000}}, sorry, [[User talk:SHB2000/U4C guide 2026|I was expecting your questions.]] I saw [[special:diff/30531349|this]] and thought I should write. I understand that it would have been better to discuss this earlier, and you are right, but my intention was not bad. I am trying to be transparent. For example, I have contributed paid edits to two articles so far, and they are [[:az:İstifadəçi:Qədir/Açıqlamalar|here]]. Also, I once helped someone upload files to Commons, and they voluntarily paid me a small amount for it (I did not request it, and I considered it a donation). According to Commons rules, this does not need to be disclosed, but I am noting it here for transparency.

:I have never requested any payment (the offers came to me from the parties I mentioned above, and I evaluated them). Because I personally do not consider paid editing appropriate in volunteer projects, although I am aware that it is not prohibited when done properly. Yes, I did it and I disclosed it. Still, I believe that someone holding such critical rights should be very careful in these matters. As you know, paid work is already done in grant programs and similar projects. {{pb}} I have received many offers so far, but I did not engage with any of them because they were all related to topics without encyclopedic value. In other words, I think this is a good thing — I did not take the attitude of "let me get paid and write anything", and I have not misused my advanced rights, nor will I.

:Regarding the evidence issue, I don't know what the stewards have, but I assume it is the screenshots mentioned in my checkuser candidacy. And I should also say that I have the complete record of those messages on my side (<s>I cannot know if the other party deleted anything</s> (I checked now and noticed that they deleted some of the messages; I didn't record all the conversations at the time.), but my messages are still intact). And I also have no idea what they told or how they presented it. {{pb}} In the checkuser candidacy, it was claimed that I requested payment, but I did not do such a thing — the other party made me an offer, and afterwards they asked me to promise that the article would not be deleted, to meet with them, and also requested other personal information. I replied that I cannot guarantee whether an article will remain or not, and I rejected their request. Later, they contacted several people, and one of them restored the deleted article in an inappropriate way. But I still didn't do anything—I only said, "this is not right". The only thing I did was fix the article's incorrect title.

:Regarding the [[:az:Vikipediya:Təftişçi namizədliyi/Arxiv/2025|checkuser election]], there are already enough people supporting me there as well. Most of those who are against me do not have objective positions—in other words, I do not find their arguments objective. They also did not even look at my replies to them, meaning they are not presenting any substantial arguments. I am open to communication and criticism, but there is no real criticism there. It seems that {{u|White Demon}} only voted against me because of the paid editing issue, and that is their opinion, which I understand. I think that is also a valid position. {{pb}} I could say that some users may not trust people they do not know personally (on azwiki, many users know each other in real life, and local events are organized every year), so voting is often based on that and whether people are biased or not. In addition, I know many users on-wiki, and quite a few of them trust me in this candidacy. {{pb}} Some users may simply be against me because we have some disagreements on wiki or because they do not like me personally (which of course is not objective). Also, one user who supported me in a previous vote ended up voting against me in the second one. Why? Because they engaged in incorrect actions on the wiki and I warned them about it. Since I follow the principle of neutrality, I thanked that user for their good contributions, while also informing them about their mistakes. One of the candidates initially supported me but later withdrew their support without any clear reason. I asked for an explanation, but they did not provide one.

:I tried to explain as much as I could; if there's anything I missed, you can let me know. Also, if you have any additional questions or any nuances you're not satisfied with, please point them out so I can answer them.

::What I'm trying to say here is this—let me put it more clearly: the person in question contacted me via email and asked for my phone number in order to discuss payment. Later, they reached out to me themselves via Discord. This was in response to 3–4 emails I had received from the other side, to which I only replied with: "I remember stating the reason" — they had asked me why I deleted the article.

* Hi Qədir, thank you for running for U4C and good luck! As stated in the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Election/2026/Discussion#Qədir|discussion]] section, I am generally supportive of your candidacy. In addition to holding adminship on AzWiki, you also happen to be an experienced community member on TrWiki with patroller rights. So, if I may ask a question, I was curious what your answer would be to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026/Questions#c-A09-20260510154200-Kadı question] by A09 to Kadı.

Thanks and good luck, [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 15:13, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
*:I think such matters should primarily be left to local projects (i.e. administrators, local bodies and the communities) to handle. Dispute resolutions, SPI and CU-related issues should be considered separately, and U4C should only be used as a last resort when local projects are clearly insufficient, unable to resolve the issue, or systematically failing to do so. Matters concerning CU actions or potential concerns should be addressed through the appropriate oversight channels in a way that ensures procedural consistency. Sincerely, [[User:Qədir|Qədir]] ([[User talk:Qədir|talk]]) 17:29, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
*::Thanks for the response, @[[User:Qədir|Qədir]]. To be honest, I find this response a bit too generic, especially from a TrWiki community member. To narrow it down a bit, let's consider [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GoToComment/c-Ghilt-20260404054800-1denizakdemir-20260403152800 this comment by Ghilt] on one of the mentioned cases.

*:::I agree with Ghilt. Users should first be given the opportunity to submit their own appeals.

Can you explain how are you proficiently using said acquired skills given you have been involved in two U4C cases both [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/Systematic failure to enforce UCoC in ArWiki|as a party]] and [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/'Arabic Wikipedia Admins' WhatsApp Group|as an outside commentator]] where the first involved language inappropriate for an user with extended user rights?--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 14:42, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @[[User:A09|A09]]
:Thank you for your question. I have improved my skills in the mentioned grant and worked with different communities since then, with the pleasure of serving with respect to the Wikimedia Foundation's atmosphere, community, and environment.
:One last important meeting I had was a virtual meeting for admins of Arabic Wikipedia. I organized it; it was the first online meeting that gathered the Arabic Wikipedia admins.
:The meeting ran smoothly and was attended by '''15 admins''' who shared their points of view. User:محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح (Mohammed Ahmed) was also a participant and even shared his experience in that meeting, like the other admins did. You can have an overview of the event from: [[w:ar:فعالية:الاجتماع الأول - إدارة ويكيبيديا العربية|Here]].
:Now we are working to adapt what was discussed since then and will have another meeting in the near future.
:Going into the first case you mentioned, I was asking to respect the friendly space, and the interpretation within this case is bad faith. Reviewing the full topic again, you can have a clearer view of the case. Dr. Taher (as part of the temporary ArbCom of this case exactly) is telling user:Mohammed Ahmed to stop looking at the archive, as it is considered unacceptable chasing. Please review: [[w:ar:خاص:وصلة دائمة/74078048#إشارة_إلى_تعليقات_لاحقة|here]]
:Unfortunately, Mr. Mohammed Ahmed keeps adding more topics even after the answer he got where you mentioned, and sent 7 emails according to his mentioning on the page: [[w:ar:نقاش ويكيبيديا:مجلس التحكيم/لجنة تحكيم مؤقتة 2025|Discussion page of the temporary Arbcom 2025]]
:For me, in a wider view, good communication does not mean to avoid difficult conversations but to handle them with respect, understanding, openness, and acceptance.
:Going to the next case, my questions were with respect, and as the user did not follow the admin guideline, I am wondering why. The following question was asked, because of respecting private space "virtually or physically" and the code of conduct.
:Here I would like to mention that I am part of the WhatsApp group with other admins, who clarify that within this case or another, everybody is professional in the domain and speaks with respect in both public and private spaces.
:Finally, I am always looking forward to having bridges between people and communities, and that should always come with respect for each other and the Wikimedia policies of the friendly space and code of conduct.
:I hope my answer gives you a clear view, and please feel free to respond with any questions or clarification; I'm always happy to help.

Hello SanBonne, thanks for all your Wikimedia contributions, and good luck with the candidacy. You are one of the leaders of the user group Wikimedians of the Levant, and I have some concerns about the diversity and inclusivity of this user group when it comes to the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/The_WMF_needs_to_support_dialectal_Arabic_more_actively dialectal Arabic debate]. I understand if the ''majority'' of the members happen to represent one side of the debate, but I fail to understand the situation if the user group is ''unanimously'' on one side of this debate. (Side note: I personally consider myself to be from the Levant, and I personally know how diverse the opinions and perspectives in this region can be on ''any subject you can think of''.) This makes me concerned that maybe people who happen to think differently on this subject do not feel welcome in the user group, and because of that they chose not to join the user group? Having a convincing answer to this question is important for me and, I believe, some other voters who think embracing the UCoC by heart as a leader is important for taking on this responsibility.

::''Shukran kteer'', Sandra. Really appreciate the response, and I totally believe the members individually do their best to follow a friendly code of conduct policy. I have no doubt about that. However, the "diversity" problem is real, and I don't believe it can be solved passively. The people whose perspectives about dialectal Arabic are similar to [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/The_WMF_needs_to_support_dialectal_Arabic_more_actively#What_we_see_outside_of_Wikimedia these examples I listed on my RfC] are missing from your user group. These people are from the Levant, they represent a perspective within the Levant, but they are missing from the ''Wikimedians of the Levant''. When I initially attempted to reach out to several leaders of your user group, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SanBonne&oldid=1344519290#Levantine_Arabic_Wikipedia including yourself], I received no response, not from anyone.

After that, Michel Bakni [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_the_Levant/%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A9_%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%84_%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9 kindly started a discussion] and pinged all group members, I still appreciate Michel's act. However, I believe anyone who reads that user group discussion started by Michel in detail can understand the root cause of the diversity problem that I mentioned, and I believe the leaders have a responsibility to mitigate that. Even if they are personally against the idea, leaders are responsible to create a safe environment for those who are not, and reach out to new people if necessary when they see a diversity or representation problem. I believe the ethos of the Wikimedia movement necessitates this. I hope this will be considered as a constructive feedback.

I want to understand your views on the temporary ArbCom on arwiki. Compared to what you consider an ideal high-level decision making body, where do you think it is doing well and where do you think it is falling short, both in terms of member selection and handling of cases, and how do you think those shortcomings should be addressed?--[[User:BRPever|BRP]]'''[[User talk:BRPever|'' ever'']]''' 06:04, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @[[User:BRPever|BRPever]]
:Sorry for the late reply, as this is a complex question to answer. I prefer to start with the positive side by mentioning the selected members, who were two admins and a steward. They are known for their openness, responsibility, and neutrality, and are well-respected in the Arabic community. These are valuable qualities for ArbCom members to have.
:However, from my point of view, the main shortcoming was the lack of a clear ArbCom timeline, clearly defined institutional procedures, and a well-established policy to work from.
:The decision that was made did not meet my expectations. It was diplomatic and general, and it did not address the core of the problem. This ArbCom was established hurriedly because of a special case, and that should not be the approach in the future.
:Resolving such cases should involve having clear procedures to follow, starting with improving the local ArbCom policy and learning from the experiences of international projects and other communities.
:The policy should include expected timelines, the responsibilities and duties of ArbCom members, the duration of membership, and the method of selecting members and defining eligibility criteria (such as extended rights holders, etc.).
:Having a clear ArbCom policy could resolve many issues. Hopefully, the community will not face situations like the one we experienced again, but if it does, the members should be prepared and available to handle such cases effectively.

----
Hypothetical case scenario question: A Hokkien-speaking user (Hokkien = nan) leaves you a talk page message about zhwiki admins suppressing (in the literal sense, not the OS sense) their use of Hokkien. They do so by threatening blocks for users promoting the Hokkien language and removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible.

What would you do in this instance? In your response, state which sections of the UCoC would come into remedy here. Additionally, what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion? (there is no single correct answer for the second question – I'm looking to see your thought process here; also note that zhwiki has a local ArbCom.)

(Full disclaimer: this scenario is hypothetical only, and I'm using zh for the lack of a better example. The examples are irrelevant, other than that Hokkien is a dialect of Chinese) //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 11:09, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]],
:I appreciate the time you took to create this hypothetical scenario. Mr. Mohammed Ahmed gave a good answer based on the charter. I could answer the same, but I will also give my response.
:Going to the first part of the question, I would start by practicing empathy, assuring a safe and respectful space, and investigating the case further to understand what steps the user had taken before reaching me. Had they already contacted the local ArbCom? According to the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|Universal Code of Conduct - chater]], '''section 4.2.1 Jurisdiction''', {{quote|the U4C will not have jurisdiction to enforce the UCoC when a high-level decision-making body is able to (Arbitration Committees, Affiliations Committee, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee, Technical Code of Conduct committee, Stewards), warranting effective self-governance.}}
:If they had not, I would first try to understand why and respond accordingly, because a single phrase cannot fully describe a situation that may be more complex. Accordingly, I could not give a direct answer to this case based only on your question, as it is still too early. As part of a team, I would also want to better understand the situation through a U4C member familiar with similar cases and who works closely with zhwiki to have a better understanding of what happened within the zh ArbCom process and why the case was raised here.
:I would also need to determine whether the case falls within [[Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|the main policy of U4C]] '''section 3.3 - Content vandalism and abuse of the projects''' especially if there is repeated removal of content without explanation or discussion. This could include {{quote|
:* The repeated arbitrary or unmotivated removal of any content without appropriate discussion or providing explanation. 
:* Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view (also by means of unfaithful or deliberately false rendering of sources and altering the correct way of composing editorial content).}}
:If mentions of Hokkien or nanwiki were being removed in this way, this section of the UCoC could come into remedy.
:If the user had already opened an ArbCom case and the further appeal was ineffective or does not totally agree with the U4C charter, then there may be grounds for the U4C to accept the case. So, first and foremost, the local high-level body should handle it. The U4C can intervene where there is no such body or where that body has made multiple decisions that go against the UCoC.
:''For the second question'', it depends on the details of the case, because the full picture is not clear from a single phrase. The key issue would be to understand why this is happening: is it a matter of the community not accepting this dialect, or is it related to the user’s behavior? It would also be important to know in what context the dialect is being added.
:The response could involve better communication with the community and the user about how to include the dialect appropriately or, if needed, raising the matter to the U4C to ensure better accommodation of the dialect in zhwiki. This work should be done within the team and informed by the experience of those who have handled similar issues before.

:{{ping|SHB2000}} thank you for your greetings and the question. Sometimes, problems arise between affiliates and the representation in the same territory or on the same topics. I know people love to write in their mother languages, and sometimes some expressions are too difficult if someone isn't a native Spanish speaker. I'm aware of many cultural differences between the countries or even in some regions in the country, and this aspect is key to keeping the the dialogue flowing and try to reach consensus between the parties involved: I prefer to listen all positions, try to understand the ideas properly, and discuss with other before made any statement or leaving an impression about the disagreement: it is too difficult if the people don't even share the same room in the real life, but at the end, I assume good faith and mantain flowing the discussion to reach the best agreement possible for the parties. About your specific question about Conflict of Interest (CoI), in the past, I shared my concerns and choice to abstain from the discussions, especially of my home affiliate (Wikimedia Chile). I don't share any information with my affiliate, even if I am aware of them before any public announcement. If I have any doubt about a potential CoI, I disclose it to the group, so they can decide about my statement. In my current role (LAC RFC), I'm aware of many relationships between affiliates and how they manage internal conflicts or potential risk of creating a conflict. In these cases where my CoI is involved, I share some initial insights, but the rest of the committee/team will follow the next steps, and I don't try to read or know anything about the investigation.

Hey, thanks for running. I think it's important to have Spanish speaking people active in global community settings as they compose one of the largest (international) communities. Your candidacy statement cites 20 years of experience handling dispute resolutions. Imagine being met with the following scenario: a serious abuser has expended every community process (bar nonexistent ArbCom) available locally while every admin is in-fact involved. This user then starts forum-shopping on a foreign wiki until they come before the U4C as a filer claiming they have been wronged on the homewiki and that it clearly presents a systematic failure. What actions would you take (if you'd even consider this case valid) and do you agree with their reasoning of the systemic failure? There is no single definitive answer. Best of luck,--'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 23:38, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hello {{ping|A09}}, thanks for leaving your question. It's not an easy answer for an LTA (Long Term Abuse), especially in cross-wiki cases where the evidence or the events happen and seem unrelated. When someone is thinking about a username, maybe there is a person taking time to create a narrative about their participation and involvement in our Movement. In this hypothetical case, the person would point to harassment in their home wiki, but we need to understand the situation of the local admins before making any judgment about the conflict: sometimes the best way to try to see the history is by reading/listening to both parties and seeing how the history is written with facts instead of taking notes from preconceived ideas. It's fundamental to hear the position of the administrators and how they noted the involvement of the user in the local wiki, and figure out the best possible way to re-focus the user to be a good user again or to see if it requires another decision. Regarding the U4C jurisdiction —if I don't misunderstand— I see it as a complex situation; because all administrators are involved in some way (or they don't want to engage further due to burnout from this situation), discussing the case could be seen as the user being right, and it may create an exploit for others. However, if all administrators agree, the U4C could help them find the best solution for all users.
:(side note: I'm not a big fan of infinite blocks, because blocking can create a sock-puppet master —I remember 2 notable cases from Spanish Wikipedia— or an angry real person against the projects)

Hi ToprakM, thank you for your contributions to TrWiki, all your technical contributions, as well as the ones as an editor and an admin are really appreciated. Recently, there was a high-profile conflict within TrWiki related to Basak’s block, and you made strong points early in the discussion, such as noting the unjustified talk page block. However, you did not participate further in the discussion afterward, which I believe would have given you an opportunity to demonstrate your interest in conflict resolution in complex cases like that one. Additionally, I would like to mention the Umtcnyd case, where the U4C almost unanimously concluded that our CheckUsers did not have sufficient evidence to prove inappropriate use of multiple accounts. (They were also aware of Vincent Vega's 90-day argument before making this statement, if you check Vincent Vega - Barkeep49 correspondence on Vincent Vega's talk page.) There were very long local discussions following that, and multiple TrWiki editors expressed skepticism about the block. Despite this, [[:tr:Kullanıcı_mesaj:Umtcnyd#c-ToprakM-20251118003200-Engel_kaldırma_talebi|you declined the user's appeal]] without providing a meaningful explanation. In my opinion, a reblock in such a case would at least require some explanation. I would appreciate hearing your perspective on this. (Disclosure: Umtcnyd emailed me after I expressed interest in their case on the U4C case's talk page, but this question is completely independent of that correspondence.) Thank you, and good luck with the candidacy. [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 03:43, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:: Thank you for the question, TheJoyfulTentmaker.
::The case of user Basak was indeed a notable one, particularly regarding how the block was implemented as I pointed out. Specifically the restriction of talk page access and email privileges, which I found as inconsistent with local policy. To my knowledge, I was the only user to raise this concern publicly. That said, the block itself was justified thorough sysop discussion with significant community participation, and a consensus emerged among sysops that the block was correct. Also I would like to highlight that I did reach out to the blocking sysop on the talk page of the blocked user to seek their final perspective on the matter. I should also note that Basak had already submitted a request to the Coordinating Committee regarding this matter before the local objection process had started. I believe that there is no procedural error within the local wiki process itself.

::Regarding the Umtcnyd case: From what I've reviewed the U4C's decision called for a reassessment of the CU decision, with some members finding the evidence insufficient to conclude sockpuppetry. However, following that decision, I see that a reassessment was conducted on Umtcnyd's talk page, and the CheckUsers' conclusion remained unchanged. As a local sysop, I do not have the authority to override a CheckUser determination. Our local policies are clear. A block imposed based on CheckUser evidence can only be lifted by a CheckUser or through a community decision, not by an individual sysop acting alone. I closed the appeal procedurally months later, referencing the concluded discussion, because I had no evidence to counter the CheckUser findings. While I would certainly have voiced concerns had I seen a clear procedural error or injustice, the fact remains that the CheckUsers who have access to tools and data that I do not maintained their position even after reassessment. I understand the concern that my closure lacked a detailed explanation, and I accept that as valid criticism. In hindsight, I should have stated my reasoning more clearly at the time, and this is something I would approach differently today.

Ciao! Your candidacy statements says {{tq|I also believe the U4C can be useful in identifying inconsistencies, contradictions, or gaps in local policies}}. Imagine a scenario where a controversial admin was deadminshipped through ArbCom, which hands back the request to the community to vote upon. Given ArbComs are considered the topmost local-level organs, it is safe to denote such action as uncommon as they decide upon actions themselves. De-adminship eventually becomes a case before U4C. How would you act on such cases given the project has an ArbCom and is likely not a case of systemic failure? There is no single definitive answer and I would love to hear your thoughts. Best, --'''[[User:A09|A09]]'''<nowiki>|</nowiki>[[User talk:A09|(pogovor)]] 21:09, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

:Ciao/Hi A09, I find the topic interesting and I'm happy to discuss it. I can share two examples I personally experienced, both showing how even a major wiki can have contradictions or gaps. I'll try to keep it brief.
:The first case is exactly what you described (did you know about it, or is it just a coincidence?): The [[:it:Wikipedia:Commissione arbitrale|local ArbCom]] received a report about off-wiki abuse and threats by an administrator. The committee reviewed the case privately and decided to deadmin the user [https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale/Deliberazioni/Gatto_Nero]. Only then did it become clear that there was a gap: the policy made no mention of this possibility. So the local ArbCom, despite being a high-level decision-making body, couldn't formally request it — and the rights revocation procedure hadn't been updated, simply because it hadn't been used in years (on itwiki, sysops go through annual reconfirmation). The ArbCom then invoked [[:en:WP:IAR|WP:IAR]] and pushed for the opening of a revocation procedure[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Amministratori/Revoche/Pierpao][https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Amministratori/Revoche/Pierpao]. This ended up dividing the community. Many users didn't want to take a stance because the evidence was private. The process effectively became a vote of confidence in the ArbCom (some even wanted to cancel the procedure) and it highlighted the risks of unclear or inconsistent policies. There's also a debate about how much power the ArbCom should have[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale#Ampliamento_competenze_Commissione_arbitrale]. The ArbCom on itwiki is relatively new; we still needed clearer guidelines and more experience, and no one can always anticipate every scenario. If you're curious about the details, we can discuss it separately; it would be quite a long story. The links provided contain everything anyway.
:The second case involves an ongoing discussion about the appealing a block procedure: On itwiki, [[:it:Wikipedia:Revisione del blocco|appealing a block]] were introduced in 2024 (as part of the UCoC implementation)[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Blocchi_automatici_alle_pagine_di_discussione_degli_utenti_e_possibilit%C3%A0_di_appelli]. Before that, there was no formal review process. Due to a lack of consensus, only users blocked after March 12, 2024 can currently request a review, and there is an active discussion about making the procedure retroactive[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_Wikipedia:Revisione_del_blocco#Estensione_della_retroattivit%C3%A0_della_richiesta_di_sblocco]. Since then, many users have submitted requests to the ArbCom, which has had to reject some of them as ineligible under its procedures[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale/Deliberazioni/Archivio/2025][https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Commissione_arbitrale/Deliberazioni/Archivio/2026]. This is another example of a policy gap that still needs to be addressed.

::I almost forgot: if a comparable situation becomes a case handled by the U4C, there are many considerations and analyses to be made. I don't think Arbcom was at fault - They aren’t responsible for updating that page[https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Amministratori/Revoche/Pierpao#c-Torque-20260320100900-ValterVB-20260319202800]. One alternative was to put the decision on hold and ask the community to update that page, even though the request would have implicitly revealed the outcome in advance. I wouldn't want to give too many personal judgments, because it's a case I was actively involved in and my opinion wouldn't be neutral enough. What I can say objectively is mostly already in my previous message. [[User:Torque|Torque]] (''[[User_talk:Torque|scrivimi!]]'') 13:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Late last year, you engaged in [[:w:en:WP:CANVASS|canvassing]] to buy votes from your [[:w:ha:Special:Diff/700899/701515|home wiki]] in your non-voting member application. This was disruptive to say the least, but also highlighted a severe misunderstanding on your end of the entire U4C member process. Thus, here are two questions for you to answer.

Hypothetical case scenario question: A Hokkien-speaking user (Hokkien = nan) leaves you a talk page message about zhwiki admins suppressing (in the literal sense, not the OS sense) their use of Hokkien. They do so by threatening blocks for users promoting the Hokkien language and removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible.

What would you do in this instance? In your response, state which sections of the UCoC would come into remedy here. Additionally, what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion? (there is no single correct answer for the second question – I'm looking to see your thought process here; also note that zhwiki has a local ArbCom)

(Full disclaimer: this scenario is hypothetical only, and I'm using zh for the lack of a better example. The examples are irrelevant, other than that Hokkien is a dialect of Chinese) //[[User:SHB2000|shb]] ([[User talk:SHB2000#top|t]] • [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|c]]) 11:09, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]]
:Hello, based on this hypothetical scenario, and as zhwiki has a local ArbCom:
:Q1: What would I do in this instance?
:I would ask the user who has messaged me on my talk page whether the matter has been brought to the attention of the local ArbCom; as mentioned in the U4C charter#4.2.1. Jurisdiction "the U4C will not have jurisdiction to enforce the UCoC when a high-level decision-making body is able to". There are two pathways from this point, either the matter has been brought in a case presented to the local high-level body or it hasn't been, before U4C can intervene, it should be handled by the high-level body (local ArbCom) first, and if it has been handled by local ArbCom, the user still objects to the result and thinks that no remedy has been provided for claimed violations, has he/she/they went to appeal?
:I would actually put a link to the [[Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|U4C Charter]] and the relevant section of it, so that the user who messaged me understands the process better, this will also help highlight that U4C complies with the principles of self-governance as also mentioned in the charter.
:The relevant UCoC sections that would come into remedy here are in my opinion, keeping in mind that this assumes that indeed violations have taken place, which I can't form a personal opinion on just judging by the message on my talk page:
:* The repeated arbitrary or unmotivated removal of any content without appropriate discussion or providing explanation.
:* Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff. (Threatening a block)
:Also an expected behavior in such type of case is "Practice empathy: Listen and try to understand what Wikimedians of different backgrounds want to tell you."
:Just based on the messaged I received on my talk page, I don't assume that the admins of zhwiki have done something wrong, or in other words committed in UCoC violations, since words can have different meaning to different people, one should know the full story, and hear from both sides.
:So, first and foremost the local high-level body should handle the case. U4C can intervene in cases where there is no local high-level body, or the high-level body has made multiple decisions that go against UCoC.
:Q2: what do you think would be the most appropriate action for the U4C to take, in your opinion?
:If the user still thinks that there are unaddressed violations after exhausting the process and appeal with local ArbCom, he/she/they could present a case to U4C that U4C could accept at this point, in determining whether to accept the case after exhausting local process with ArbCom, I would ask the following questions:
:1. Is there a prior consensus regarding prohibition of use of Hokkien dialect?
:2. What exactly is prohibited: the use of the dialect in the main namespace (Article namespace)? or also using it to make a statement in a users' page in user namespace or using it between two people discussing in a talk page?
:3. Does this prohibition targets this dialect only? Because Chinese has many dialects, it would be useful to know if there is an element of discrimination in this hypothetical scenario.
:3. Regarding "removing mentions of nanwiki wherever possible", if the case is brought before U4C, after exhausting the process with local high-level body (ArbCom), I would ask for specific examples of this act, it might be justified in certain cases, what comes to mind, if applied universally to all languages and dialects. My view is, that it is not permissible to remove the mentioning of nanwiki from the zhwiki article about the dialect.
:I would consult with fellow members of U4C on what to do if the case is accepted, and there was a determination that indeed violations have taken place, sanctions might be required especially in cases of clear, repeated, incivility or harassment.

:@[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]] Also, for a future hypothetical scenario, Arabic has many dialects like Chinese.

Hi محمد أحمد عبد الفتاح, thank you for running for U4C and good luck with your candidacy. I think you gave a great answer to the above question by SHB2000. Something very similar happened in 2024, and [https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/ويكيبيديا:إخطار_الإداريين/أخرى/أرشيف/2024/أكتوبر#c-محمد_أحمد_عبد_الفتاح-20241028085900-TheJoyfulTentmaker-20241027225400 you were the only one who pointed out] that an admin had used revision suppression in a way that was not consistent with the policies. I really appreciate that you stood up for me at that time, even though, as I can see from the babel box on your profile, you personally oppose Wikipedia editions in Arabic dialects. My question is: in situations like that, where an administrator acts in a way that may not be consistent with policy, do you think there could sometimes be social pressure that discourages other editors or admins from speaking up? Best wishes and good luck, [[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] ([[User talk:TheJoyfulTentmaker|talk]]) 22:29, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

:@[[User:TheJoyfulTentmaker|TheJoyfulTentmaker]] Hello, yes in a situation regarding the "language/dialect" debate and the use of dialects in written form, some societal pressure might play a part in the action/inaction of some admins or editors. This might happen in any Wikipedia, but there is also a chance that it happens more in Arabic Wikipedia.
:I would also note that there might be a problem in speaking up when an admin makes a decision that is not consistent with policy in topics other than the 'language/dialect' debate. Power structures and alignment of editors and admins, not wanting to be a party to a conflict or to spend time discussing an issue, all these are factors that would influence the action of members, in any wiki.

: This incident was very sensitive within local community, so I'd like to address it carefully.{{pb}}First, I will explain the incident itself in more detail. I personally respect this user as a contributor. In 2021, this administrator initiated something called "Delete-a-thon".([[:ko:위키백과:사랑방/2021년_제34주#회사_및_단체_문서_관련_델리터톤을_진행합니다|link]]) They argued that articles related to associations and organizations were "mass-produced articles" and that more than 900 legitimate articles should be deleted in bulk. Due to opposition from other users, the proposal ultimately failed.{{pb}}In 2024, the same admin again claimed that articles related to bus terminals on kowiki were mass-produced articles and announced that they would be deleted in bulk.([[:ko:위키백과:사랑방/2024년_제13주#삭제_예고_:버스_터미널|link]], yes, that purple nickname is me) The admin then proceeded with large-scale deletions. Although many users opposed this action, the administrator refused to restore the pages. Eventually, I even created a massundelete tool myself and restored all of the deleted pages.{{pb}}Afterward, the admin partially apologized for their actions, and following this incident, I took the lead in quickly passing the CSD policy, which had already been under preparation for introduction.([[:ko:위키백과토론:빠른_삭제_기준/보존1#빠른_삭제_기준_도입_토론|link]]) However, a few months later, the same administrator once again described school-related articles as mass-produced articles and deleted them.([[:ko:위키백과:사랑방/2024년_제34주#일부_학교_문서_삭제_알림|link]]) The admin also interpreted the newly introduced CSD policy arbitrarily.{{pb}}As a result, I led a discussion regarding the removal of the administrator's permissions, and the proposal passed.([[:ko:위키백과:관리자_권한_회수/Reiro|link]]) Afterward, the deletion policy was revised once again on a large scale, including the introduction of DELPRO and PROD.([[:ko:위키백과토론:삭제_정책#삭제_정책_개정|link]]) Some users who had been mobilized to oppose the desysop discussion were later blocked as well, and the situation on kowiki became peaceful afterward. I still think it is unfortunate that kowiki does not have an ArbCom, because the situation might have been resolved in a more orderly way if one had existed.{{pb}}I believe the admin's actions clearly fall under section 3.2, "Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff." Some users argued that the admin used their authority to intimidate non-admin users, but tbh I don't agree with that interpretation, so I would not classify it as "Using one's position and reputation to intimidate others." Nevertheless I still think the actions were a clear violation of the UCoC. {{pb}}However, in this case, only one administrator abused their tools, while other admins and users worked together to resolve the problem. Since the local community clearly demonstrated its ability to self-correct, I don't think this would constitute a systemic failure. These counter abuse actions reflect the expectations outlined in UCoC Section 2.2, which calls on community members to collaboratively take active responsibility for ensuring Wikimedia projects are safe and productive spaces.

{{U4C 2026 election candidate
| year = 2026
| username = ToprakM
| languages = tr-N, en-3
| region = CEE
| active wikis = Turkish Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, English Wiktionary
| Wikimedian since = 2016
| home wiki = Turkish Wikipedia
| regional or community seat = both

| statement = Hello. My name is Toprak, and I have been a Wikimedian for about ten years. I am active on Turkish Wikipedia as a sysop and on several other projects. Mainly, my focus has been on community work and technical stuff lately. I'm a member of Wikimedia UG Turkey and Cyprus. I established an extracurricular society at my university to encourage students to work on Wikimedia projects alongside other active participants in both communities. Through my experience, I have been involved in environments where respectful communication and clear processes are essential.

I will aim to balance standards with local realities, ensuring that decisions are equitable and sensitive. My priority would be to support an environment in which contributors feel respected and heard while maintaining proportionality and transparency.
| expectations = I would love to have a high standard of transparency and accountability in all committee work. It is important that contributors are able to understand how and why outcomes are reached. Also, being open to feedback should be one of the highest priorities.
