Due to persistent vandalism and disruption on this page, this page is currently semi-protected indefinitely. Globally blocked or locked users should appeal to stewardswikimediaorg or UTRS. If your account was locked with the reason "Compromised account", please contact cawikimediaorg.

Please be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please also review Global blocking . Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally. Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP or account. Saying an IP or account is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined. Instructions for making a request Before requesting, make sure that: You know the IP address(es) or accounts you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP or account, if any. To make a request for the address(es) or account(s) to be blocked or unblocked Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked. === Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] === {{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template --> * {{Luxotool|IP address/username}} Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~ When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request. To find your IP, please visit https://www.whatismyip.com/ You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email at: stewardswikimediaorg

• 46.183.103.0/27 xwiki-contribs • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye

I am asking about this range because there was no justification provided for this global block in the previous unblock request (Steward_requests/Global/2019-04#Global_unblock_for_46.183.103.0/27). I have also checked resources available to checkusers and I cannot see any information about this particular case for "long term abuse" where. Global block policy says:

Global blocks should be placed with the lowest expiry possible, while still remaining effective. All global blocks should have an expiry (none should be indefinite).

In this case, a train service of Deutsche Bahn (German railway service), it makes little sense to block anything for longer than few hours, or even less. Why this block has been placed for so long?

It is generally not required to log in to the wiki to fix something (even small typo), so I the explanation that I am not affected by this block is unfortunately not enough. I am posting this here again because I do not understand why this request has been closed this way without any better justification than this.

@Ruslik0:@Alaa:@Ajraddatz:@Seewolf:

You placed this request in the wrong section. As to the block, the range had been extensively used by Avoided, so it is blocked now. Ruslik (talk) 17:05, 3 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, do you know which wikis he was mostly active? dewiki has exempted this range apparently....  « Saper // talk »  19:46, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

In the event of persistent/serious abuse on multiple wikis, a Global Block is implemented in order to prevent further disruption to the projects. Since this block is "anon-only", you shouldn't be affected, meaning that you should still be able to log in and edit with your user account. (If you still can't edit after logging in, then that is a problem.) If you (or anyone on that network) wants to edit anonymously with their IP, unfortunately, this isn't an option due to the abuse on this network. So, if you still want to edit using the IPs, you will have to wait until the block expires. I know that Avoided is a serious cross-wiki troll, and I trust that the Stewards have evaluated the level of abuse and potential collateral before implementing the block. Inconvenience due to being unable to edit anonymously is not a valid reason for lifting a Global Block. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 04:50, 5 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Cross-wiki vandalism, including disruptive activity on en.wiki and Simple Wikipedia (already blocked on en.wiki). This person was recently vandalizing a number of articles, including biographical articles. This appears to be a public school IP. The IP info indicates that this is likely a Proxy IP or computer-sharing network, so an extended Global Block may be appropriate. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Persistent history of cross-wiki abuse from this range for at least a year. Cruizir was also using this range today. This LTA has continued vandalizing multiple IPs from this range, including on en.wiki and en.wiktionary (and Commons, Simple Wikipedia, and Meta wiki in the past), with personal attacks and vandalism on both sites (there's probably more vandalism on other wikis as well). Please Globally Block this range for at least 6 months, and also check for sleeper accounts, since he usually generates a bunch of socks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 23:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information. Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversightwikimediaorg (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks. Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places. If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appealswikimediaorg. Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward. Instructions for making a request Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that: You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s). You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption. You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect, especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests. To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked Copy one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked. === Global lock/unlock for Foo === {{status}} <!-- do not remove this template --> * {{LockHide|username}} * {{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page --> *... Reasons, etc. --~~~~ For many accounts: === Global lock for spambots/vandals === {{status}} <!-- do not remove this template --> {{MultiLock|username|username2|username3}} {{MultiLock|username|username2|username3|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the names to be visible on this page --> *...

• 濫用過濾器 (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • CA • gblock • ST • lwcheckuser)

This username is the Chinese translation of "Abuse filter" but not the exact abuse filter that performs block and therefore was blocked indef on zhwp. Request for global lock to prevent the account from editing on other Chinese projects to pretend to have adminstrative authority. --94rain ^Talk 13:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

• Prevent this account from other Chiness projects? Can local blocks work? Prevent impersonator of abuse filter, only zhwp have abuse filter block function [thus far]. The local zhwp block notice message even encourage them to ask for a rename, their local contributions are fine.--Cohaf (talk) 13:14, 24 April 2019 (UTC)--Cohaf (talk) 13:51, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

    • @濫用過濾器:您愿意改用户名至一个符合规定的用户名吗？如果不，您的帐号很可能被全域锁定。--Cohaf (talk) 15:43, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
      • Marked this as on hold until several days or this user replies and rename. I do not think this user would response, though. If the user still does not reply in a week, I strongly suggest stewards lock and hide this account. -- 94rain ^Talk 02:11, 26 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
        • • Since there's can be room for a rename, I propose we wait for them to reply failing which we do a hard forced rename. Save the lock plus hide. I am not convinced for a lock if User:滥权管理员 is not locked and hide , that means administrators who abuse power. I know per local decision, we allow such username. User:滥权巡查员 Patrollers who abuse power. etc.--Cohaf (talk) 07:23, 26 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

            @Cohaf: a “hard forced rename” will make the username available again. What’s the merit? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:13, 28 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Actually no, it will be only available to re-create those with "titleblacklist-override", not everyone. — regards, Revi 10:14, 28 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
