It was the wrong wiki. I too many opened windows. --DerFussi 18:36, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
Done as a local sysop; please note that Meta (which is not a global sysop wiki) has an active community that can handle their own stuff, thus does not need stewards intervention. Best, Sgd. —Hasley 18:46, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

No oppose in nearly 2 weeks. Operator was g-locked a year ago, so the bot's newest edits (since October 2020) can also be considered lock evasion. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 22:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Problematic contributions to amwiki
There seems to be a lot of POV-pushing (to put it mildly) going on recently in the Amharic Wikipedia. For example, am:አብርሃም ፀሐዬ ግርማይ -ABREHAM TSEHAYE GIRMAYE and am:ታዬ በላቸው መልካ-TAYE BELACHEW MELKA, both created today, seem (based on Google translations) to be biographical puff-pieces connected to some kind of media company and/or Facebook group. And am:ሰይጣኒዝም በስካንዲኒቭያ ሀገራት ("Satanism in Scandinavian countries", also created today by a different user) informs us (again, according to Google) that "Satanism is the largest religion in Scandinavia and… the largest religion in Europe" and that "Scandinavian countries are the most racist in the world." The same user also contributed an article on the Illuminati that seems, on first glance, to be similarly reliable. The wiki has a local admin, but they haven't edited there in over a year. (@WikiBayer: looks like you might be especially interested in this.) - dcljr (talk) 01:40, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- I deleted them. Ruslik (talk) 20:57, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- OK, but since these were created by logged-in users (1, 2), the deletions should probably be explained on their talk pages (which I will leave to you, since you're the one who actually deleted the articles), so they know what they should avoid doing in the future. - dcljr (talk) 21:10, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
- No, it is your responsibility. Ruslik (talk) 20:50, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- Regardless of whose "responsibility" it is to notify the users, one of them has simply recreated the biographical articles again, as I knew he would. Ball's back in your court... - dcljr (talk) 00:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- If they persist, I will block them. Ruslik (talk) 20:49, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Closing as Done: pages deleted and users blocked. Ruslik (talk) 21:03, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Amwiki again
I see that @Dcljr: already raised the problem of contributions on amwiki, however situation did not end there. I would like to ask stewards to take a closer look at the contributions of The Supermind [stalktoy] – [cross-wiki edits]. Most of it looks like conspiracy and violation of BLP and NPOV. As it slightly does not fit GS policy, stewards need to take action here.--Renvoy (talk) 10:57, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- May I ask you to notify this user about the discussion here? Ruslik (talk) 21:02, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done--Renvoy (talk) 21:55, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Their edits to the article on LGBT rights are rather concerning, assuming that machine translations are even remotely accurate. Especially this edit, which is very much in line with TE's ideology. Vermont (talk) 22:02, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Who is TE? Ruslik (talk) 06:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Ruslik0: I think Renvoy is referring to WMF- and community-banned user Til Eulenspiegel. As can be seen from my metawiki and amwiki talk pages and the global ban RfC, they have a history of randomly bringing up colonial stuff to justify their actions and (most importantly) a history of making homophobic edits. I have myself been doubting since processing this request on whether the account was related to previous socks of TE (due to similar conspiracy behaviour). After seeing the edit linked by Vermont, the alarms have been going off even more to state it like that. Daniuu (talk) 10:08, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- For transparency, I will also point to this request I just filed. Daniuu (talk) 11:43, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- I have remembered this user but the CU evidence have been inconclusive so far. Ruslik (talk) 14:57, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sotiale also ran a check on the user and found three accounts (not including The Supermind). Daniuu (talk) 15:02, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Need to block ip - spam - eowikt
The log of spam action, need to block this ip 188.27.91.77 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye

Not done Just one edit does not justify a block. Ruslik (talk) 20:53, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Ruslik0: ok, I'll keep that in mind for the future. Then the question arises - how many changes should there be sufficient for conversion? Because now I observe 7 attempts of inadequate changes from one address - 103.6.198.192 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye.
And in this regard, I am asking you to set the semi-protection status for the following pages:- eo:wikt:Vikivortaro:Ĉefpaĝo - main page
- eo:wikt:Template:Ĉefpaĝo/Projektoj - uzed in main page
- eo:wikt:Template:Ĉefpaĝo/kestoj
- eo:wikt:Template:Ĉefpaĝo/atentigoj
- eo:wikt:Template:ĉefpaĝo-bonventeksto
- eo:wikt:Template:ĉefpaĝo-kapo
- eo:wikt:Template:ĉefpaĝo-dezirataj
- eo:wikt:Template:ĉefpaĝo-kunlaboro
- eo:wikt:Template:ĉefpaĝo-statistiko
- PS: A local appeal about setting the semi-protection status in the project discussion is posted. Va (🖋️) 14:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

- Done 1 month. @User:Vami: please write in English, not Russian here. Taylor 49 (talk) 20:47, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- I support protecting the 9 pages listed above from IP:s and new users. But the incivility of Vami persists. Taylor 49 (talk) 20:50, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- To avoid answering twice - see my answer about the substitution of the RFC topic from a technical issue to personal dislike, which was a direct warning at the very beginning of the RFC. BTW, Taylor, You were the administrator of this project for about two years, why didn't you complete such an important task during this time - didn't you protect the main page at the minimum level? Va (🖋️) 10:46, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Désolé, Taylor, mais c'est vous qui n'avez pas le droit de me dire quoi et dans quelle langue je dois écrire. N'assumez pas les responsabilités d'administrateur Meta. ( ) Va (🖋️) 10:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

- Attacks against the title page and templates used by it were very rare to inexistent. Thus I renouced to solve a non-existent problem. And I (temporarily) protected this one. I solved a huge number of other problems during that time, but not all. Och du ska inte förakta mig för problem som hade funnits före min ankomst, och som jag inte har hunnit fixa. Och jag vill kunna läsa innehåll på wikier som jag använder utan att behöva samtycka till Googles affärsvillkor. Strange things happen at eowikt. 188.27.91.77 Romania and 103.6.198.192 Malaysia only 12 hours later after "Just one edit does not justify a block" above. Interesting content from "Ŝablono:Ĉefpaĝo/Fermita" closely related to "Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Esperanto wiktionary":
