Steward requests (Global)

latest archive→

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

Global unblock for 106.131.0.0/16

(The same can be said for the many accounts locked by EPIC at roughly the same time that use languages ​​used in Japan and Japantown, and that contain the same surname (presumably relatives) [33])
Given that so many read-only accounts that do not edit qualify as LWCU locks, I think that the very long period of blocking for one year that is imposed on that IP address range of Japan's major telecommunications company KDDI is widespread and many people are affected.

Any apparent collateral on this range? In the current state, I think exempting the block at jawiki, at their admins' discretion, is sufficient here, and would therefore advise the handling steward to decline on this note. EPIC (talk) 13:59, 26 February 2025 (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.

Per Commons admins' noticeboard: crosswiki harassment, intimidation against several users. Indefinitely blocked on Commons. --Bedivere (talk) 04:06, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

@Bedivere I agree that turning to an admin's talk page at another project [49] is inappropriate, but I wouldn't consider it crosswiki harassment (especially given that the user has stopped)? The users's behaviour on Commons definitely warranted a local block, but so far I don't think steward action is needed? Note that a global lock would also deny the user a potential unblock request in the future (you mentioned the possibility of them asking in three months [50]). Johannnes89 (talk) 17:03, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I did mention that possibility, but I feel there is consensus to ask for a greater sanction. But I'm fine if you don't accept this request. If they continue their problematic behavior, I can come back again. Bedivere (talk) 20:41, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

I agree with Johannnes89 on this one. If the user would continue their behaviour on other projects, please come back to this page & we will take appropriate action. Daniuu (talk) 19:50, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Long-term abuse. Lock evasion of Special:CA/Vikworker8.

Here’s my reasoning for those interested. I think this is worth mentioning because this user has been reported twice at en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vikworker8, but both cases are still open.

The latest lock evasion, Special:CA/Elonweraned, showed up 3 days ago. Both accounts appeared one after the other at ja:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alireza Jadidi, which seems too much of a coincidence. On top of that, they both said the exact same thing: "Try to improve the article rather than trying to delete it" (ja:Special:Diff/103810844 vs. ja:Special:Diff/103839104). Looks pretty obvious to me.

Another note: User:Elonweraned didn’t trip LWCU last time, even though multiple accounts have been locked in the past month. That makes me suspect the sockmaster is using one-time proxies like VPNs to dodge detection. Dragoniez (talk) 18:23, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

According to the linked discussion this appears to be a local LTA (Nv7801). All accounts mentioned at c:Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Nv7801 are not globally locked (except for an impersonation account), just locally blocked. I don't see a need for steward action if local blocks are sufficient. Johannnes89 (talk) 18:45, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

@EPIC: Also they are attempting creating account to avoiding the local ban on idwiki. according the montoring he using "Oukkasyah Hebat" for the main one previously he got blocked from editing in idwiki for adding misinformation and Vandalism. AF1011 (talk) 01:44, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@EPIC: Just a little update, that Oukkasyah sock accounts belongs to RendiStwn, according Block reason from idwiki. AF1011 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
