This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

• For global IP or account block requests, read the guideline and make a request below under Requests for global (un)block. Indicate why a global block is necessary and for how long.
• For account lock requests, read the guideline and post under Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding. Note that temporary accounts can't be locked; in this case please request a global block.
• For local requests here on Meta, see Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat.

---

If you are here because you have been affected by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts (except temporary accounts).

Requests for global (un)block

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.

Please also review Global blocking .

Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally.

Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP or account. Saying an IP or account is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You know the IP address(es) or accounts you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP or account, if any. To make a request for the address(es) or account(s) to be blocked or unblocked Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked. === Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] === {{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template --> * {{Luxotool|IP address/username}} Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~ When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request. To find your IP, please visit https://www.whatismyip.com/ You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email at: stewardswikimediaorg

Cross-wiki vandalism. He or she has made unexplained removals and changes without an neutral point of view since this October, mainly on Chinese Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia. Evidences are listed below:

• Chinese Wikipedia: w:zh:Special:Diff/46708524,w:zh:Special:Diff/46741420,w:zh:Special:Diff/46741562, etc.
• Classic Chinese Wikipedia: w:lzh:Special:Diff/293741
• English Wikipedia: w:en:Special:Diff/807044843, w:en:Special:Diff/807044733
• Japanese Wikipedia: w:ja:Special:Diff/66060819, w:ja:Special:Diff/66006640, w:ja:Special:Diff/66060833, w:ja:Special:66069753, w:ja:Special:66069788, etc.
• Wikidata: d:Special:Diff/575426522, d:Special:Diff/575426338, d:Special:Diff/575426332

Since he has been banned twice for his vandalism at Chinese Wikipedia, I foresee that a long-period global block should be executed on this IP Address at once. --WQL (talk) 15:00, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

Be sure to follow the instructions below:

• Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information.
• Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewards^connect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversightwikimediaorg (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks.
• Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places.
• If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appealswikimediaorg.

Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that: You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s). You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption. You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect, especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests. To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked Copy one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked. === Global lock/unlock for Foo === {{status}} <!-- do not remove this template --> * {{LockHide|username}} * {{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page --> *...

To the Stewards, Bernard is a CU and can confirm a new block evasion [1] --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 16:24, 28 July 2017 (UTC).

I created it simply to continue editing. There is no vandalism or anything bad. I am worried that Wikipedia in Spanish will be so drastic with users who want to edit for the first time, or who want to resume editing, and I am also puzzled by the fact that they consider everyone as a "toxic element" to Anyone who gets blocked. 181.61.83.227 18:23, 28 July 2017 (UTC) PD: The last text is traduced by Google"

See w:WP:BE and w:WP:SOCK - Using other account to continue editing while blocked is not permitted in most Wikimedia projects, even if the editor only makes good edits.

• For Diegusjaimes: I suggest you do no edit in Spanish Wikipedia, using any account or anonymously, in no less than six months (i.e. until at least 2018-1-29) and request an unblock there. You're free to contribute other Wikimedia projects once you are unlocked.
• For stewards: I think the account can be unlocked as long as there're no longer crosswiki issue. This allows user to make significant and useful contributions to other WMF projects (which is beneficial for unblocking in eswiki).

--GZWDer (talk) 19:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Comment. I believe that the initial lock is wrong on a number of grounds. 1) Socking has no impact upon the use of the primary account. 2) Socks are not against WMF terms and use, and the use of global lock is not for this purpose of locking primary accounts. If the user is to be excluded we should be using a consensus of the community discussed in a global ban rather than summary exclusion by judge and jury stewardry.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:07, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

I want to ask and unblock my account. Let me have a chance, Thanks, --223.184.80.43 07:51, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Would you like to stop socking and wait for the certain period time of few months on the unlock request? SA 13 Bro (talk) 13:18, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

If you stop your disruptive editing such as like spamming and socking in between a few months to 6 months, yes it will. SA 13 Bro (talk) 17:14, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

@SA 13 Bro but i have a send mail of jimmy wales and If I told you about my problem, then I was told from there that you first request a global unlock, then you login to your account and request to unblock your account in it,And if the accounts you have created in Wikipedia are from the beginning, then your account will be unblocked, so I have requested to unlock your account here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2405:204:E408:2BF7:4165:4E2:CC25:BD4F (talk) 17:23, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Global lock for User:ROXELANA22 and User:Pluto reserve an tps43

Pluto reserve an tps43 is actually a sockpuppet of User:ROXELANA22, as you can see here [2]. He also vandalized my talk page at Wikimedia Commons, indicating Cross-Wiki abuse. (ROZELANA22 normally socks at the English Wikipedia [3], but the vandal attack from the Pluto account is indicative of Cross-wiki abuse.) The sockmaster should also be locked, because the master account was created at Commons and has edited at several Wikimedia project sites as well.

Long-term abuse, and socking on Wikimedia Commons and the Spanish Wikipedia. Also a possible sockpuppet of another vandal on the English Wikipedia (User:ROXELANA22), though I have to ask some Checkusers to confirm on that site first. He uploaded a junk image [4], then vandalized multiple articles on the Spanish Wikipedia, including the replacement of a legitimate war map with his junk image. [5] [6] This is indicative of a vandalism-only account, which now has committed cross-wiki vandalism. Here, he pretty much admits to being a sockpuppet of an IP that has been trolling my Commons account (BlueHypercane761) for 1 1/2 years, by adding the image that he himself uploaded. Aditionally, the IP troll admits to being a sockpuppet of User:Anibal1, as implied in this attack, so the account Anibal1 should probably also be locked. Please Lock this account, to prevent further abuse. LightandDark2000 (talk) 02:57, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Okay, now he has revealed his hand across multiple Wikimedia projects. The Spanish account in question vandalized my Commons talk page today. That makes at least 2 Wikimedia Projects where this sockpuppet has vandalized. I can't request a block on the Spanish Wiki, because I'm not fluent in Spanish, otherwise I would have already done so days ago. Please lock these accounts, in order to prevent further abuse. (Though it should be noted that Anibal1 is registered only on the Spanish Wikipedia.) LightandDark2000 (talk) 08:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

I am not sure why my account was blocked in the first place. It says my account was compromised and so globally blocked, but I see no evidence of this in my contributions. I used to be an administrator on en-wikipedia and en-wiktionary but I have been inactive for a while. Looking to make some sporadic edits, but unable to log in. The message on my en-wikipedia talk page says that I should contact a steward to have it reversed. Is this the correct channel for that? Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 109.181.34.182 (talk) 22:30, 29 October 2017‎ (UTC)

Your account was locked by WMF staff due to account compromised in the past. @Tim Starling (WMF): There is a unlock requests issue at here. SA 13 Bro (talk) 23:25, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

I was watching filtered authentication logs and saw the attacker successfully log in to your account in real time. So I locked it immediately, before they were able to do any damage. This attacker typically defaced the English Wikipedia main page within minutes of each account compromise, so it was important to act quickly. The attacker was using publicly available password databases from other websites, such as Yahoo and LinkedIn, correlating email addresses with user names, and trying the passwords against Wikipedia. So it's important that you change your password on any website where you've been using it. See https://haveibeenpwned.com/ -- Tim Starling (WMF) (talk) 23:47, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

@Tim Starling (WMF): Thank you for alerting me. That's quite worrying. So if I change my password, am I able to continue using this account? Thanks 109.181.34.182 00:04, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, you can continue to use that account. I assume you still have access to your email? A steward should contact you, confirm your identity, unlock your account, and give you advice on setting up 2FA. -- Tim Starling (WMF) (talk) 02:00, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

@Tim Starling (WMF): That's great news. Happy to set up 2FA. When might a steward contact me and through what channel? Email? Thanks, 109.181.34.182 12:41, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
