Global IP block exempt for Iwaqarhashmi

Status: Done

Global user: Iwaqarhashmi (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Hey, I am from Saudi Arabia. Most of the websites are blocked here, and I just can't access them without using a VPN. So whenever I try to contribute to Wikipedia, the IP address of the VPN is always blocked globally. For this reason, I demand a global IP block exemption, if possible. Thank you! --Iwaqarhashmi (talk) 19:18, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

@AmandaNP why are you having your bot post useless applications like this? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:56, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: This is the only "useless" one. We have appeals going back as far as the end of August (in UTRS - not VRT) from the start of this pile. My hope is to draw attention to the outstanding requests because of the length they have been waiting. This one in particular just had an unanswered appeal open and no one had closed it. I just didn't have the script run a permissions check for this one use case to see if it actually had GIPBE already. I'll see if I can incorporate a check into the script before I run it next. The other two I marked already done were applications made after the IPBE, so a ping onwiki about their request would be helpful to have them come back if there are issues. -- Amanda (she/her) 18:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

@Sotiale: Could I get you to look at this one please? -- Amanda (she/her) 23:38, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@AmandaNP:It is thought that editing was blocked while using the VPN function. As a general guide, I told this user to turn off the feature and try again, or to let us know if there are any reasons to use VPN. --Sotiale (talk) 09:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for MagicSilvia

Status: Not done

Global user: MagicSilvia (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Hello everyone, I always use a VPN for safe browsing and would like to join the Wiki world but without having to give up protecting my privacy. I have disconnected it now just so I can write here. My interest is to be able to contribute constructively and learn about new things! Thanks youall! --MagicSilvia (talk) 23:58, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

(Non-steward comment) Your account is too new and only have 1 edit (this request) on this wiki. Tryvix1509 (talk) 12:36, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your interest. That's the whole point: to be able to use a VPN for security and personal privacy (that's my sole intent). If my account already had several edits with my IP, there would be no point in asking for it since it wouldn't be anonymous beforehand anyway. Hope you understand. Thank you! MagicSilvia (talk) 21:38, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Please understand that "privacy" as a generic reason for GIPBE is not accepted, especially for new accounts. This exemption also overrides ALL non-proxy related global blocks which means any sockpuppet could come here, make the same request you are, and then go on to edit under the blocks intended for that sockpuppet. If you wish to explain further and privately, more details are at NOP on venues in which you can do so. Not done -- Amanda (she/her) 22:46, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Amanda! Yes I understand what you are saying and you are right. The basic nature is that there is no logical sense in asking for an unblock after using your IP countless times, if, as in my case, you want privacy. I think this is a non-trivial issue that you should study carefully, because in a community that wants to be free and democratic like yours this is a situation that should be better addressed. The "new account" objection is really the basis of this as I said before: if I don't use a "clean" account there is no point in using a proxy/VPN. There is food for thought, however it is fine, if you don't feel that you can give me access in this way I understand and that is fine! I am very sorry because more than my word on good faith I cannot give. Have a good Sunday! MagicSilvia (talk) 02:45, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, the global rollbacker flag is intended for users active in cross-wiki patrolling, particularly on small wikis. I suggest to join the SWMT and to gain experience in cross-wiki patrolling. You can use SWViewer to patrol. Your edits are only on a few projects and there's no rush to receive the flag. Once you have acquired good experience, there will be no problem to give you the GR flag. But for now, it's really too early imho. Best regards --Superpes15 (talk) 13:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

Please also review the Global sysops policy.

Stewards: When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.

Please note that Global sysops discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

You have a global account ;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

To make a request: Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).

=== Global sysop for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:H:i j F Y (T)|+2 week}}''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than two weeks (no exceptions are allowed no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

I previously had Global rename permissions, but they have expired because of inactivity / lack of use. I have had an off-wiki request from an en-wp administrator to "un-vanish" Cassianto who wishes to return to active editing, and it is preferred that I do the revert. Ritchie333 (talk) 10:04, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

@Ritchie333 in the meantime, that user can log on to their account and just submit their own request. — xaosflux ^Talk 11:24, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Comment I see no reason why any steward - although in some cases I saw also GRN - couldn't process a request for unvanish, even if they didn't process the previous vanish. If that's the only reason, it seems a little light to me to get the flag. If you plan to get active in helping handle renames I have no problem supporting your request! --Superpes15 (talk) 11:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
+1, can't see why we would refuse an "unvanish", they can just log on with that placeholder userid and drop a request at Special:GlobalRenameRequest. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:53, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Question: @Ritchie333: I certainly support this, but just to be clear are you intending to return to being an active global renamer or is it 'just' for this one request? — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 18:15, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

A good question. In theory, I would help out in renames at en:CAT:UNBLOCK; in practice, I look at them, question whether the accounts actually want to do any constructive work at all instead of just promoting their pet cause, and pass on them. Ritchie333 (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

@Ferien Sorry for the unclearness, I will go along the lines of SHB2000 (i.e. support if there is desire to help out for renames in general but oppose should it be just 1 rename). So if the candidate explicitly says that they are wanting the permission to help out in general, I am not opposing. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:49, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose Does not make sense for me to grant rights for a one time action --Ameisenigel (talk) 16:22, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

To those opposing, can you clarify that you are opposing outright (you don't think I will use the privilege enough and denying it is more sensible for security reasons) or because you oppose if I only used it for one thing? As I mentioned above, I have been in situations where I could have used the privilege, but decided it would not be in the project's best interest to do so. Many username-related unblock requests are for users with a promotional username AND promotional edits (first example I found from today - en:User:KanadMarketing); without evidence they want to edit Wikipedia in a neutral manner with no conflict of interest, there is no reason to unblock or rename them. Unless people would prefer I renamed the account and declined the unblock request? Ritchie333 (talk) 12:44, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Oppose per above. Not appropriate to grant this for a single, one-off rename. Like others above, I'd support re-granting if Ritchie333 intends to actively use this privilege. -FASTILY 04:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 09:14, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
I think you've misread that. What I said was, there have been times where I could have unblocked and renamed someone, but I made a conscious decision to not use those tools. Hope that's clarified that. It is somewhat interesting that in two years, consensus changed from "we should give any enwp admin in good standing the right to" "we should deny the right without sufficient evidence". I wonder what changed? Ritchie333 (talk) 15:26, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
