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

Global lock for David C. S. and sockpuppets

Status:    In progress

See also my talk page on Commons. David C. S. was a long-time Commons contributor who repeatedly, for years, uploaded copyright violations, particularly coats of arms and other Ecuadorian emblems. They were caught several times, blocked and ultimately indefinitely-blocked. They then resorted to using sockpuppets on Commons, while using his main account to edit other projects, like Wikidata, to insert their new uploads. They have also used such sockpuppet accounts to edit other projects. Long-term abuse. --Bedivere (talk) 06:46, 19 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Given that they are still active on some projects with a large amount of edits, I think this is rather a case for requesting a global ban instead of stewards just applying a global lock. Johannnes89 (talk) 13:55, 23 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
They've been recently expelled (i. e. indefinitely blocked) from the Spanish Wikipedia along with the active sockpuppets they had there. Maybe an alternative would be to just lock, for now, the sockpuppets. Bedivere (talk) 02:58, 25 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
A couple of sockpuppets have been active in multiple wikis, therefore I've locked all of them for crosswiki (sockpuppet) abuse. I would appreciate another steward's opinion regarding the main account. Johannnes89 (talk) 06:57, 25 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
I'd be inclined to lock the master as well. Daniuu (talk) 23:37, 6 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Global lock for OperationSakura6144

Status:    In progress

After my previous report, the user OperationSakura6144 has continued a pattern of cross-wiki disruption, particularly following their indefinite block on Wikimedia Commons. They have been making mostly non-constructive and often incomprehensible edits in several language wikis where they have no demonstrated understanding of the language, often targeting country data templates and similar pages with little to no value added. One such example can be seen on the Yoruba Wikipedia.

In addition to non-constructive editing, the user has repeatedly engaged in disruptive behavior across multiple projects:

On the Spanish Wikipedia, they were told: "You haven't made any contributions that would be improvements. I find it difficult for you to contribute to the Spanish Wikipedia because you don't even understand the language. I beg you to stop this disruptive behaviour." [6] On the Turkish Wikipedia, after making several disruptive edits, they were told "Keep[ing] calling out somewhere constantly, demanding things function disruptive I think it's on the verge of being. Since you can't learn Turkish, there is no need to take the time of the users unnecessarily" [7]. On the Kazakh Wikipedia they were actually blocked for their disruptive behavior.

Moreover, the user has actively sought to bypass their Commons block by soliciting others to act on their behalf, which constitutes clear meatpuppetry. Examples include: on the Italian Wikipedia, the Portuguese Wikipedia (where they've pinged a nearly inactive user on their talk page), and the Spanish Wikipedia. Similarly, they've been messaging user Meierberg on several wikis, making the regular victim role, and despite having their message removed by trusted users, they reinstate them.

Lastly, the user continues to portray themselves as a victim, both on the Meta-Wiki in an RFC that contains misleading and inflammatory framing, and on other wikis where they attempt to deflect valid concerns raised about their behavior.

Given the long-standing cross-wiki pattern of disruption and non-constructive editing; abuse of talk pages; attempts to circumvent the Commons block by meatpuppeting, I am requesting that this user be globally locked for long-term abuse. Their overall presence is net negative to the Wikimedia community, and a global lock would prevent further disruption. --Bedivere (talk) 18:56, 19 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

To @Bedivere and the Wikimedia community,
After everything that has unfolded—including my indefinite block on Commons, the constant scrutiny, and now a global block request—I’ve made the decision to quit Wikimedia for good.
Yes, I’ve made mistakes. I accept that. If the final result is a global block, then so be it—I’m not going to fight it. If you want to block me, go ahead. I’ll accept it, even if it feels harsh. I’m tired. I no longer have the strength to keep defending myself to people who won’t see me beyond my flaws.
I truly tried to contribute, and maybe I failed more than I succeeded. Maybe I wasn’t the right kind of contributor for this place. But I’m done. I’ve lost faith in the idea that kindness, vulnerability, or second chances mean anything here.
Thank you to those who supported me, or at least tried to understand me. That meant more than you probably realize.
I’m moving on now. No more edits. No more messages. I’m letting go.
Goodbye. OperationSakura6144 (talk) 08:41, 20 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
@Bedivere i have seen @OperationSakura6144 in ckbwiki, a wiki that i have admin rights in it, they were making constructive edits and improvements to the project. : ) 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 07:52, 21 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
