Requests for global rollback permissions

Global rollback for Apipo1907

Hi, here I present myself as a global rollbacker. Member SWMT I fight against vandalism in small wikis, my main account is on French Wikipedia and Vikidia (wiki does not belong to WMF) where I patrol and rollbacker. I believe that the tools will allow me to fight effectively against vandalism in several wiki without any problems. Thank you for their time . Apipo1907 (talk) 12:55, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Oppose for now. Unfortunately, there is no recent activity and reverts like [1] show you are not yet ready for this global permission. Please try to remain active for a period of 3-6 months before re-applying and try to avoid reverting non-obvious vandal edits without providing an edit summary. Mistakes can happen, but at least your actions should be replicable to other users. If you consider these points, I would be happy to support in a future request. Thanks for volunteering. --Vogone (talk) 16:29, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Global rollback for Ks-M9

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Not ending before 29 October 2016 22:43 UTC

Hello. I would like to use the global rollback flag for reverting vandalism, spam and cross-wiki abuse. My work on antivandalism is on small wikis and sometimes on big wikis. I am a member of SWMT with the nickname Ks-M9 on IRC, and I use the channel #cvn-sw for check vandalism and nonsenses, off-topic material, mark vandalic/spam pages for deletion, etc. I use Twinkle for revert, and sometimes the button of undo if is necessary. Sometimes I have a problems to joining on IRC because my connection of internet is not good, and I ask other users by this errors on the channels. In the past months and currently, I've reverted vandalism by cross-wiki vandal users; for example: Italian vandals [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] (mostly on big wikis), or flag vandal user case (here 020730szm, his sockpuppets are currently globally locked for continued cross-wiki abuse) [10] (block log) [11] [12] reverts [13] and many wikis in which he has been reverted because his vandalism is persistent: he is from China, but his reverted IPs are from Quanzhou. Also on Meta I sometimes check global filter 90 of cross-wiki comment spammers, and I revert that, examples: [14] [15] [16] and I've reverted edits by LTA Wikinger [17] [18]. SWMT needs more help to monitoring small wikis, and I would like to help in this task using GR flag. I have rollback tool on eswiki, enwiki and commonswiki. If you objections for me, I try to improve my mistakes. Thanks for your consideration. --Ks-M9 [disc.] 22:43, 24 October 2016 (UTC).

Requests for global sysop permissions

Global sysop for Biplab Anand

Not ending before 6 October 2016 10:52 UTC

Hello Friends, I would like to request for GS. This is my second request. I'm a Global Renamer and active in the Small Wiki Monitoring Team. I have experience with the sysop tool as being a sysop on newiki and maiwiki. This tool would help me to delete vandalism and spam pages. You can find me on IRC under the nick Biplab in multiple Wikimedia channels. I surely concern about the scope of GS and also concern where I can use the tool and where it shouldn't be used. Now I have to ask other global sysops or stewards, but it would be much easier when I can do it by myself. If I appointed as a global sysop, I'll be helpful for maintenance and anti-vandalism. Thanks--Biplab Anand (Talk) 10:52, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Global sysop for タチコマ robot

Not ending before 5 November 2016 09:09 UTC

We have a large number of wikis with Double Redirect issues. I operate a bot that fixes this on practically every wiki. Over the years these smaller wikis have accumulated double redirects bots cannot fix. This may be because the page is protected or because the double redirect is formed due to a circular or self redirects.

The protected pages can be due to admin protections or user .js or .css files that are leftover as redirects if the user account is moved more than once. I fixed plenty of these on Commons wiki using my admin privileges. An admin helped me with the task on en.wikipedia. If the bot (User:タチコマ robot) is given global sysop (even briefly, for a day or two) it can fix the protected double redirect pages on the smaller wikis that accumulated in over a decade.

The bot will not use any admin privileges aside from editing protected pages.

After that there still will be a need to process whats left manually. I tend to recommend speedy deletion of circular redirects since they lead to nowhere to begin with. They are a navigational hazard.

Requests for global IP block exemption

Global IP block exempt for Philroc

Hi, I'm Philroc from the English Wikipedia. As you might know already, my IP got global blocked. I think it was because some guy in the same county as me was using UltraSurf. That's a really popular proxy in my county. I don't have anything to do with them and haven't done anything wrong, so I think that I need global IP block exemption. Thanks, Philroc (talk) 12:36, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Neutral Neutral I have my doubts, but anyway, I do not see a bad candidate. Alvaro Molina (Let's Talk) 06:05, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Neutral Neutral for now. I will change my vote after a thorough review of his crosswiki contributions. Seems like an editor who is keen and willing to contribute. No visible or glaring problems at first glance. Jianhui67 talkcontribs 06:07, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
    I am staying neutral for a few reasons. I am not sure if the candidate has enough crosswiki experience or not as he is rather new to Wikimedia in general (account created 5 months ago). But I think he seems willing to help. I am not against him obtaining the right, but I do not find myself comfortable to endorse either. Jianhui67 talkcontribs 17:47, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Global rename for Ks0stm

Not ending before 19 October 2016 17:42 UTC

Hey y'all! I'm applying for global rename permissions because at my home wiki, the English Wikipedia, I often work at Usernames for Administrator Attention discussing username violations with users and blocking accounts that do not meet the local username policy. Users blocked for a username violation or notified that their usernames do not meet policy often request a change in username, and having the ability to perform these renames would enhance my ability to perform this work. I have carefully read the global rename policy and the English Wikipedia username policy (I would focus primarily on requests from that wiki), and while I have no bureaucrat experience, I believe I would be well suited to the role.

Global rename for Martin Urbanec

Not ending before 21 October 2016 17:54 UTC

I was elected as a 'crat of cswiki in May 2016 and I wish to help this project with renaming of user accounts too. In this case I request relevant permissions. I will be focused at requests from my wiki and only after some time maybe I'll help other projectes too. I know that I'm active exclusively at cswiki but in case I would focus on requests from this project I think this isn't big objection. I can speak Czech and Englis as my global user page says. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:54, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Oppose Oppose Trusted user but lacking a basic x-wiki experience which is imho needed. This confirms my concerns. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:28, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Neutral I do not think crosswiki experience is too significant for this permission, but at least a basic level (understanding instructions like in the case Steinsplitter linked) can be expected. Since mistakes can happen, I won't oppose this request, but given this little issue, I would recommend getting to know metawiki a bit before being granted this permission. --Vogone (talk) 19:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

    • Thanks for your comment, but could you explain it a little bit? Or do you agree with the others? When I don't know a reason why there is an oppose comment I can't get myself to better state for getting this permission. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:35, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
