Welcome to my talk page!

Read through the following text BEFORE you write your comments:

  • Have I commented on your talk page, I will monitor it for your reply. This so we keep the discussion together in one place. Don't reply here. If I have commented on your talk page and you reply here, I will in most cases move your reply to your talk page anyway.
  • Always sign your comments with four tilde (~~~~).
  • Put new comments under a ==Describing headline== at the bottom of the page.
  • If I have deleted a page that you have written, I'm sure there is more information on your talk page about the reason. Read it through before asking for the reason here.
  • If you would like to complain about a block that affect your account or want to ask for a block, use Steward requests/Global instead of my talk page. It's often quicker and it can be handled by all Stewards.
  • If you would like to request a global block, place the request at Steward requests/Global.
  • If you leave a message here, I will reply here. In normal case I will not reply by e-mail.
  • Vandalism and nonsense will be deleted.

Have you read all the text above?? OK, then you can continue.

Threats via IP

Same message that I send to ~riley I send to You, since You both were on the action on the same page (removing vandalism, protecting). This IP maniac [1] has a fixation on hr.wiki since August 2019. Early this night he was on hr.wiki from the other IP.[2] . He appears regularly, every day. He focuses on the users that remove his vandalisms and the users that are in the correspondence with the targeted user; e.g. I write You something here, then he makes such aggressive edits. He spreads (or at least he tries to, by random guessing) personal information in the threats. Kubura (talk) 00:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Fake account

I herebye promise, I have nothing to do, what so ever, with this fake account Dan KoehI, which was setup by someone else. During 18 years on Wikipedia, I never told a lie, or tried to do something against the rules. Dan Koehl (talk) 03:58, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Nej, jag vet att det inte var du. Det är en återkommande valdal som skapar den typen av konton så du är inte den enda som blivit drabbad. Det var därför som jag märke upp den med "förvillarkonto" och inte som "marionett". -- Tegel (Talk) 06:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

The motivation was "Cross-wiki abuse" and not related to long-term abuse. I can change the motivation to "cross-wiki spam" if you want. -- Tegel (Talk) 11:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Es.Wikiversity

Hi a curiosity why on es.wikiversity you didn't delete the page directly?

If I'm not mistaken, the local admin has been inactive for over a month. This is not one of the cases where you can delete as global sysop action?

I'm writing to you because the ip has continued to create other pages that need to be deleted and I reported them on GSR but I had the doubt that I wasn't considering something when I saw your edit. Thanks --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 01:43, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

82.132.231.0/24, 82.132.232.0/24

Hi Tegel. Most of the IPs in 82.132.231.0/24 and 82.132.232.0/24 range used by MariaJaydHicky. ‎82.132.232.201 posts User_talk:DrKay about the previous issue. Sorry for my blocked IP on English Wikipedia (183.171.0.0/22) because I noticed that I cannot edit in 1 week. So I post in Meta wiki talk page. 183.171.115.22 15:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Possible impersonating

Hello, on one of the private test wikis (where I'm a bureaucrat) user has created account with nick "Tegel". He claimed, that he is a steward on Wikimedia. If that were really You, just confirm it, please. If not, I have to block that account for impersonating. Thank You in advance, Neonek12 (talk) 09:09, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

That is not me, so feel free to block it. -- Tegel (Talk) 09:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi - deleting my entry

Hello, why did you delete my entry ?

Because it was promotional material. That is not the purpose of this wiki or any other wiki run by the Wikimedia Foundation. -- Tegel (Talk) 21:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Revert

Hi! Why did you revert that edit on SRM? Vermont (talk) 13:36, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

The comment was signed with a different account name that doesn't exist any more. The user should sign with the current user name. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:38, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ah, makes sense. Best, Vermont (talk) 13:46, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Deleted question

Thanks, Tegel, maybe you can be kind and move the deleted question to the users discussion page, I guess you realized it was a question to the user? Dan Koehl (talk) 13:26, 17 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Protection

Hi Tegel. Would you mind to protect my user talk due to persistent vandalism, for about a month? I don't have many activities here in Meta, so probably no one need to contact me here. Probably, you would be able also to block the vandal account. Regards. Medelam (talk) 09:23, 26 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Can you please protect my talk page?

I see you've recently deleted my talk page for vandalism, but you might have noticed that this wasn't the first time it was vandalized by an IP attacker. If memory serves me right, this was the fifth time someone had to delete my talk page. Can you please protect it so that IP addresses can't edit it? User:Imjustthere 19:22, 10 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

From what I can see it has only been deleted once and that was today. If it has been deleted in the past it must have been on a different wiki. -- Tegel (Talk) 19:27, 10 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
It was actually deleted in the past while I was using my old username, Imjusttherediting. Plus, it was recently deleted again. User:Imjustthere 10:33, 12 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Q

Hi! Thank you! But me intresting, this comment in edit... diff - need hide? It's crosswiki harassment... :c --くろねこ Обг. 12:42, 11 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please block

Hi. Will you please block 120.188.0.0/16 (talk · contribs), 114.5.0.0/16 (talk · contribs), and 114.4.0.0/16 (talk · contribs) since IPs on those ranges have been persistently harassing and vandalizing pages I edited and my talk pages for months. Not only in enwiki but also across several wikis like idwiki and commonswiki. the first (120.188.0.0/17 (talk · contribs)) and the 2nd are now blocked on enwiki only for some time so he moved to commons.

Hello I got a message that the picture austergrund2020.jpg will be deleted for copyright reason. The picture is taken by myself so I own all copyright of it. I also use the picture at www.rone.se/kummel and facebook. Therefor I whant you to remove the deletion order.

The picture was available on a page that claims Copyright on it's content, so it's up to the Commons Admins to decide what to do. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:36, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary global lock on my account

Hello, can you help unlock my account, please? The account's name is Albertpda. This account is only blocked in the English Wikipedia, not in any other wiki platform. I'm using this account to edit regularly in another language wiki site and I'm allowed to do so! Suddenly someone set a global lock against my account and now I can't even log in into it! I don't cross-wiki vandalize anything, I was blocked in the English Wikipedia only. I mean they can set global lock on my sock/other accounts but not my main account! It's unnecessary. I'm using the account to legally edit in another language-wiki, now it is locked up. 118.70.233.217 05:57, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Check out Steward requests/Global where you can find the email-address to the Stewards if you want to appeal your global lock. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have sent an email for 4 days and no one replied!! This is urgent! My account is still locked up. 118.70.129.185 03:25, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Needed assistance at no.wikibooks

Hi Tegel! I'm doing some temporary administrative work at the norwegian wikibooks. I have asked for help over at Steward requests/Miscellaneous#Update global bot policy template. I need help to implement the global bot policy by updating the Template:Bot policy. I have allready added no.wikibooks to the list Bot policy/Implementation#Where it is policy. There was one response, but he doesn't seem to understand my request. Can you please help? Possibly you could tell me if somethings missing in my request, or if it is misplaced -- Abuluntu ( talk) 15:20, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I see that you got feedback on your request at Steward requests/Miscellaneous, so lets keep the discussion over there. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Adminship

What do you need to become admin on meta? I would like to fight LTA's and vandals (as I do in enwiki and request global locks here). Am I likely to have a successful RFA, and if not, what do I need? Steve M (talk) 02:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Check out Meta:Administrators and Meta:Requests for adminship and you will see what is expected of a Meta Admin. Compared with an admin on, for example Wikipedia, there is some additional rights that require some experience with cross-wiki issues. Report vandals at Steward requests/Global can anybody do, as you are already doing, but dealing with them and globally lock them is a job for the Stewards and not for Meta Admins. It's difficult to predict if you would have a successful RFA, but with edits on nine wikis and with only four of the wikis where the edit count is above 10 it might be tough to be elected. I thing that you would have a better chance if you where an admin on a content wiki such as Wikipedia first. -- Tegel (Talk) 18:06, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

I want to vanish from the wiki and have a clean start on a new account.

After all the stress I am getting with this account I would like to have a fresh start... 1. I get indef blocked for unfair reasons 2. I get accused of being a flipping sockpuppet...

my new account is Dualcerb Alibino (talk) 16:45, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Vanish and an clean start is two different thing. So you are blocked on Wikipedia in English, but instead of solving the block you go ahead an create a new account to circumvent the block? How do you think that will work out? A clean start often mean that you stay away from all edit for 6-12 month, not create a new account two days after you got blocked. Then the local community "might" allow you to return with a new account. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:50, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oh oki... Ill return in 3-8 months Alibino (talk) 16:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

But now you admit socking with at least one other account, so the question is what the local community on Wikipedia in English will thing about that when they find out. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
I got accused of being a sock... not socking... (also this used to be my public wifi acc but the 2 accounts switched :/ ) Alibino (talk) 16:57, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
And now you created a third account? Or how many accounts have you created? -- Tegel (Talk) 17:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
EpicOmegy was the first (asked for it to be blocked when this acc got blocked) (EpicOmegy was not in the sockpuppet report for some reason. This account was second, (used to be called OmegySock) I used public Wifi more then secure wifi so I stopped using EpicOmegy.

Dualcerb was third because I wanted a fresh start (I will stop using it today) Alibino (talk) 17:18, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Why did you delete my user page?

Hello Tegel, I have just went on the Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month/Participants page and noticed that you have deleted my user page link. I can't understand the reason you have done this, and nor do I understand the reason given by yourself for doing so. It is simply just my user page on there, and it was created under the correct name. I feel this may be a mistake, however if it is not, can you tell me what I have to do to rectify this? Kind regards Luke780 (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Your user page is located at User:Luke780. The other page that you created became a normal page and not a user page, so that is why it was deleted. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for replying and explaining so quickly, I have now fixed this. Have a great day Tegel! Luke780 (talk) 16:36, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

ZenNet VPN

@Tegel: According to Stalktoy, an unknown vandal has crossed over to Finnish wiki on the ZenNet VPN range shortly after it was blocked per WP:NOP at enwiki.

If you select "Thailand" in ZenNet VPN once you created and logged to a dummy trial account there, you'll end up on that range. Besides that there's an unconfirmed rumor going around that the Myanmar junta might start a big editing operation in attempt to sway opinion undeservedly into their favor, which I think would include some of those proxies that would help them hide better.

Can you go forth and block the range for about three to five years and with anon-block setting on, like we did back on enwiki?John haxor (talk) 19:41, 8 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
