Hello everyone. I had a withdrawn application for the global rollback right a month ago. I'm back with increased crosswiki activity. Here I'm re-requesting the application so that I can revert edits more quickly and efficiently without being prevented by the abuse filter or captcha. I have the local rollback right on bnwiki, meta, and wikidata. I am familiar with the global rollback policy and the local policies on using global rights, where applicable. Thanks for your re-consideration. Borhan (talk) 05:38, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- (I generally do not comment on SRGP requests, I'll emphasize that this isn't a vote but since I noticed this request I feel like I should note it here) As someone who monitors SRG/GSR/RC etc, I still find them making reports/reverts that give the impression of the "newbie vandalism patroller errors" - which isn't really what I expect from a GR, especially considering the flag is truly global and gives autopatrol/rollback everywhere. With that being said I cannot oppose either, since on the other hand the reverts I've noticed generally look fine and I would consider someone with their experience experienced enough for GR. EPIC (talk) 07:03, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Borhan I'd like to hear your response to this. Leaderboard (talk) 09:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC, @Leaderboard, I apologize for the delay in my response. Unfortunately, I made some mistakes while reporting to SRG and have selected the wrong criteria while reporting to GSR a few times. But, these mistakes were not intentional and I have learned from these mistakes.
- However, I am very careful when reverting vandal edits, and I promise to the community that I will be more careful when reporting. Thanks. Borhan (talk) 15:04, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I see the explanation as sufficient. As long as you are careful I have no issues, but I'll abstain from supporting or opposing to stay neutral here. EPIC (talk) 15:20, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Weak support Adding onto EPIC, I do feel like if anything, the errors are on GSR or SRG, which are more or less not relevant for GR, and their reverts from a quick glance seem fine. A lot of it will later come with time and practice, both of which will come with experience over time. --SHB2000 (t • c) 08:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support, let's give it another shot. We are all humans, and no one is perfect. Since SRG and GSR doesn't relate to global rollback. This is a support because all reverts I saw are all good, which is great and appreciated. On an unrelated note, can you explain this? ToadetteEdit (talk) 09:40, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- (Reply since I assume this is related to my comment) Indeed SRG and GSR are not related to reverts or rollback, but it is a factor that is relevant to cross-wiki patrolling, as well as to how well they understand what should be reverted/reported and what they see as vandalism/spam/abuse - thus why it was a relevant factor to bring up. Note that I also mentioned reverts as well, not just reports. EPIC (talk) 10:07, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have just reviewed their edits to GSR and SRG, with some questionable reports like [1], where the user highlighted promotional usernames as "abusive usernames". Given that they acknowledged the issues above, the support vote still stays as it should be. ToadetteEdit (talk) 17:08, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- @ToadetteEdit, Sorry for late reply. This user was replacing the map in the article on multiple wikis simultaneously without providing any explanation, so I undid their edits. However, in their next edit, they did explain the reason in the edit summary, which I missed. Reverting that edit was my mistake. Borhan (talk) 18:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

However, I generally agree with EPIC's observation about the SRG report—it was a beginner's mistake, but his progress in learning is evident. I know him from my home wiki, where he is an experienced patroller. —MdsShakil (talk) 14:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for global sysop permissions

Hello everyone, I come to introduce my request for global sysop. I've been an administrator on the Portuguese Wikipedia since 2015 and a bureaucrat since 2020. Since 2021, I've been a global renamer (see log), and this time I want to be able to contribute to small projects without many active administrators.
In the Portuguese language communities, small projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiuniversity, Wikisource and Wikivoyage have less than 5 local administrators, with the majority having less than three active administrators in the past two months. In this way, I want to assist in these projects to meet any requests with the global tool.
Furthermore, I want to attend to any requests in Global sysops/Requests for other small projects outside the Portuguese-speaking community. I hope to have everyone's support. Thanks! WikiFer msg 18:08, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Thanks for volunteering, but crossactivity seems low from my side. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 18:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Tanbiruzzaman I believe that when a user makes numerous edits to several projects, it assumes that he is interested in contributing locally to the project's content, not necessarily contributing at the sysop level. I bring here my administrative experience in the most active project in Portuguese (Wikipedia) to be able to assist other projects in the absence of administrative volunteers who cannot carry out administrative actions. My role is limited to just that. Stewards, for example, have the prerogative to assign or remove sysop or bureaucrat status in projects where there are no local users with these tools. At no time, stewards need to be active in multiple local projects in order for them to perform such administrative actions. Therefore, I understand that a global sysop applies to the same situation, given that my action would be in exceptional cases when there is administrative absence in the local project. WikiFer msg 22:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Global sysop is not a backdoor to obtaining local community roles on multiple projects simultaneously, which is seemingly what the request is about. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:43, 10 December 2024 (UTC)- @1234qwer1234qwer4 These projects I mentioned refer to the Portuguese language because everyone already knows me from my administrative work at Wikipedia since 2015. Furthermore, your claim about the use of administrative tools is wrong, since the global sysop policy itself prohibits their use in projects where there were three administrators carrying out actions in the last two months. My main objective is only to assist these communities in the absence of local administrators who can carry out such administrative actions. WikiFer msg 22:03, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose thanks for volunteering, but I am not seeing any recent xwiki antivandalism work. I suggest that you revert vandalism on the Portuguese projects you are interested in and request adminship on those projects since it sounds like that is your main reason for requesting GS. Ternera (talk) 22:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Ternera This request is for Global sysop, not Global rollback. If the objective was revert vandalism, I wouldn't even need any tool to voluntarily contribute. WikiFer msg 22:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- I would like to point out that the GS policy page says, "Global sysops are highly trusted users with a strong track record of cross-wiki contributions". While this may not need to only be work reverting vandalism, that's something I would like to see in a global sysop candidate since it's something global sysops deal with often. Since you wish to help at GSR, it may be good to get experience reporting vandals there before helping there. Ternera (talk) 22:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- "I don't read books, I write them." Experience in dealing with abuse and maintenance cross-wiki (in particular in languages in which you are not proficient) is crucial for a role like this, since there are many intricacies that one can only learn by doing (and making mistakes sometimes), while sysop-level actions on small wikis receive even less scrutiny (while mistakes can be the more consequential). ~~~~

- Oppose Get GR + local adminship on those projects first. --SHB2000 (t • c) 00:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping out, but I would prefer to see much more experience cross-wiki before supporting this candidacy. Global sysop gives unsupervised administrator permissions across hundreds of small projects; extensive experience reverting vandalism or performing maintenance / other admin tasks across language barriers and multiple types of projects is a must for these permissions. If you want to help out on some of the smaller pt projects, you can request local adminship on those. – Ajraddatz (talk) 02:27, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support - The request is sensible to me. The purpose of the user getting GS is to protect on primarily Portuguese-language projects, and the user is otherwise trusted. Why do we have to force this user to unnecessarily get like 6+ sysop rights just for this? If the concern is about cross-wiki experience (and I don't have that concern in this case), why not make GS conditional on only working on Portuguese-language requests? Also, global rollback shouldn't be a pre-requisite, as there are tools like TwinkleGlobal that make GR not as necessary for routine anti-vandalism. Leaderboard (talk) 02:37, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

- Neutral. Global sysop grants you access to the sysop kit on 600+ wikis, and use case is for Portuguese projects and processing GSR requests. The reason why I am not opposing is that the user is trusted not to abuse the global sysop access, but the reason why this is not a support is because of the lack of crosswiki activity outside Portuguese projects; GS is appointed to trusted users who work crosswiki mainly in the context of counter-vandalism on small wikis with no sysops available, which is unfortunately not the case here. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:57, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral I'd like to see (more) cross-wiki anti-vandalism and/or anti-spam activity and experience from this candidate, but on non-Portuguese Wikimedia projects first. --نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 09:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Weak oppose per above comments. Wüstenspringmaus talk 09:54, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral. I'm not going to oppose your request as you are a bureaucrat and a sysop on your home wiki (which is a plus), but unfortunately, I cannot support either due to some concerns mentioned above. I would like to see much more activity on non-Portuguese wikis and other small wikis by reverting obvious vandalism and spam, and by reporting small wiki vandals and pages (that should be deleted) to GSR. I still thank you for volunteering. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 02:31, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I am part of the Patroller user group and currently manage translations on the Turkish Wikipedia. I am also an active contributor to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.
On the Turkish Wikipedia, we often face problems with vandalism and usernames. To help overcome these difficulties, I would like to help correct inappropriate usernames and assist with user renaming requests.
I have thoroughly reviewed and understand the relevant policy pages and believe that this permission will allow me to better support the community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Have a nice day. -- kızıl message 20:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
Oppose, this is a good faith request, but it appears that the user has no clerking experience at all. Also User does not have sysop experience on homewiki or elsewhere. Also, trwiki's renaming venue appears to redirect users to sruc or the special page. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)- After reading the comment below, I am reconsidering. Sysop rights aren't required, but that shows some sort of trust. I an happy to Support the nomination. ToadetteEdit (talk) 09:26, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Kızıl: the problem I see is that as you're not a sysop, I'm not entirely sure how much you can help on "correct inappropriate usernames" - can you clarify on that, and also why you're not a sysop on trwiki? Leaderboard (talk) 08:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi again @Leaderboard and @ToadetteEdit. As far as I found out, I don't need to be an sysop to be a global renamer. Therefore, I was thinking that whether I was a sysop or not would not affect this permit application.
- I'm not yet an sysop on Trwiki and I don't want to be for a while, it's not a community decision, it's my own wish. Most of the time, users may be sysops first and then apply for global renamer. But I don't prefer to follow that path. I want to contribute outside my homewiki, that's why I applied, and that's how I will gain this experience.
- If I talk about my experience, I have been on Wikipedia for 1 year and 7 months. Contrary to popular belief, I have gained a lot of experience during this time. Apart from my rights on my homewiki, I also have minor rights on other projects. I speak English and Spanish.
- Again, do you need to be an sysop to become a global renamer? As far as I know, no, there is no such requirement.
- There are 3 global renamers on Trwiki, but two of them are almost inactive. At the same time, we face problems like sockpuppetry and vandalism very often. Thanks for your comments. -- kızıl message 09:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- You don't need to be a sysop yes, but in that case users often tend to be hamstrung on what they can do (eg they cannot process unblock requests). That being said, Support as your reasoning is sensible. Leaderboard (talk) 09:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

- Hi @Neriah. At first glance, there may not seem to be a direct link between dealing with vandalism and global renaming. However, global renaming makes user accounts more organized and controllable. For example, there are times that a new account's name may not comply with Wikipedia policies. This is where vandalism and global renaming intersect. The situation may be due to vandalism, or sometimes it is a good faith effort to contribute by a person who doesn't know the policy well. These users are then directed to apply for a global rename, it is up to the global renamer to see if the requested name is compliant with policies. It is also up to the global renamer to notify a sysop if the user is insisting on non-compliant names, even when they seem to understand the issue. I want to help in maintaining a safe environment, free of vandalism, while also making sure that good faith requests are handled properly and courteously. Thank you for the question. -- kızıl message 16:15, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- As someone who is heavily involved in vandalism prevention, I can say that the connection is not direct, and trwiki requests are mainly passed to the GlobalRenameQueue. However, I see no fundamental obstacle to doing this even though you are not a sysop on any site. Neutral. Neriah - 💬 - 08:59, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

ːHello everyone, I decided to submit this request after considering it.
I am a designated Arbitrator on zhwiki and a member of the VRT. I would like to request permission to help with user rename requests in zhwiki, small projects, and requests of Special:GlobalRenameQueue, as well as help in the zhwiki Discord group about user rename requests (I am also a group administrator). In fact, I have often been helping others and providing support in the zhwiki Discord group. I have experience creating accounts in zhwiki as an IPBEG. I have read and understood the Global Renamer and Global Rename Policy, and I will ask other renamer if I encounter any problem or have any doubts when dealing with requests. In addition, I also have global anti-vandalism experience as a reference for this application.
However, I have a small question about Global rollback. I'm not sure if I am qualified and experienced enough to apply for global rollback. My global patrolling is not continuous, but I sometimes encounter situations where I need to use quick rollbacks. I hope someone can help clarify my doubt. I am asking this in my application because I can't find an appropriate place to ask it, and I apologize if it seems very strange to ask in this application.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Best regards, ~~Sid~~ 13:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support, the user is definitely trusted on their homewiki. As for the global rollback question, I have no concerns, though some people will say that your x-wiki is sproadic and low (104 undo operations on SWViewer, much more reverts using TwinkleGlobal). Maybe an additional month or two of consistent xwiki reverts will warrant you global rollback access at the very least. ToadetteEdit (talk) 18:27, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia (verify; RfA), and I have been helping out with unblock requests and frequently come across requests that require renames. I have read and will abide by Global renamers, Global rename policy, and en:Wikipedia:Username policy. As for languages, I have babel on my userpage (en-N, la-2, es-1), but I only am planning on being active with enwiki matters. Thank you kindly for considering this request; I am more than happy to answer any questions people might have. Best, HouseBlaster (talk) 02:08, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Requests for global IP block exemption
edit

- Global user: Faldi00 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello
Currently, I am living in Russia. As you know, Russia has blocked several websites since 2022. These restrictions cause me to often use VPN to access blocked websites. Unfortunately, users cannot either editing or creating a page on Wikipedia with VPN. Although Wikipedia has not been blocked yet, however several important websites that can support me during the editing or creation of an article are blocked such as BBC.com, Archive.org, Rfel.org and others. Apart from that, there are several news that stated Russia wanted to block Wikipedia, although it has not materialized yet. Hence, I am requesting Global IP block exempt so that I can edit or create an article on Wikipedia without having turning off the VPN. Faldi00 (talk) 07:22, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Can you please file a UTRS appeal? There are questions we need to ask that are better done not visible to everyone. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- I just read your message so apologize for late reply. Yes, I have made a UTRS appeal. Faldi00 (talk) 06:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Player8635
edit- Global user: player8635 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I was blocked when logging into Wikimedia Commons
I hope I can log in to upload some resources (such as photos of my school) for use in the wiki, and I also hope to log in to participate in editing activities, but I only have access to the Chinese wiki now, and I hope to get a global IP exemption --Player8635 (talk) 14:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Player8635, have you tried local (commons) IP block exempt? As far as I can understand you, you only want to edit the chinese wikipedia and commons. More information: Commons:IP block exemption. TenWhile6 15:19, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- I did apply for a local IP exemption, but I was blocked by Wikimedia Commons when I was editing a realm, and I can't edit tasks like: "Add an image to an article without an illustration

As a Wikipedia editor, I reside in mainland China (PRC) generally, where access to Wikipedia is restricted. This necessitates the use of a proxy server with outside-the-state network to enable my contributions. Using a proxy can occasionally lead to complications with editing permissions due to the IP address associated with the server. Please be assured that this proxy server IP address is used exclusively for my personal using and will not be misused. Thanks. --Hokdung Koo↗️talk 14:28, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Ishtiak Abdullah
edit- Global user: Ishtiak Abdullah (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I am an active wikipedia contributor for last three years. Recently I've faced global IP block which greatly hindered me from editing. So I'm requesting for global IP block exemption right in order to continue editing.I would be grateful if you consider my request. Thanks, --Ishtiak Abdullah (talk) 08:53, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I was blocked when logging into Wikiquote for the first time. I live in mainland China, so I have to use a public proxy to access the wiki sites normally.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vxchin (talk)
