Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

Archives (current)→

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

A very serious accusation

To whom it may concern. In two interventions in this thread, user Lazaro d'Aragón has publicly accused me of being the author of death threats against him: 1) He wrote (in Spanish, automatically translated by Deepl.com) "the user who opens this thread, who I personally believe to be the author of the death threats I've received" (diff). 2) And again: "who I personally believe to be the author of the death threats I have received is the person who opened this thread" (diff). This accusation is false and a very serious attack on my honour. The use of the word ‘personally’ does not diminish the seriousness of an accusation that has been made publicly. I request the intervention of a steward and that disciplinary action be imposed on Lazaro commensurate with the seriousness of the accusation. Thank you.

(Spanish) Señor Pompilos, es usted una persona que actúa como un trol, por motivos políticos ultranacionalistas españoles, en todas las wikipedias existentes en España en idiomas distintos al castellano. Ha sido usted bloqueado en dos ocasiones por sus comentarios ofensivos y agresivos contra otros usuarios y contra administradores en la wikipedia en catalán, y le he bloqueado merecidísimamente en la Biquipedia en aragonés por exactamente los mismos motivos. Además ha sido usted reprendido en muchas ocasiones en su propio proyecto, la Wikipedia en español, por motivos idénticos. Coincidiendo con su campaña de acoso con múltiples denuncias en Meta contra mí y contra la Biquipedia en aragonés he recibido en mi correo electrónico amenazas de muerte con comentarios coincidentes con los que usted hacía en público. Mi conclusión es pues obvia, ya que ese tipo de comportamientos son plenamente consistentes con su conducta agresiva e insultante contra múltiples usuarios en al menos tres proyectos en tres idiomas diferentes. Y he solicitado varias veces en varias ocasiones que se sancione globalmente su actitud por ser completamente contraria al espíritu que debería prevalecer en un proyecto colaborativo. Olvídese de mí de una vez en sus obsesiones de denuncias constantes, porque lleva usted ya acumuladas varias decenas. Y es usted justamente el culpable de que mi hartazgo me haya hecho decidir abandonar por completo mi colaboración en cualquier wikipedia, tras la puntilla que ha supuesto el señor @userMGA73. De modo que hagan ustedes lo que quieran, porque estoy harto de acosos, amenazas, insultos y provocaciones, todo ello motivado por hacer más de 100.000 ediciones en un pequeño proyecto wikipédico en un idioma cuya existencia al parecer ofende al señor Pompilos y a lagunos otros personejes como él. Y no pienso volver a colaborar de ningún modo en ningún proyecto relacionado con la Fundación Wikipedia. Saludos, Lazaro d'Aragón (talk) 14:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Lazaro d'Aragón, although our relations are not good, I am going to ask you a favour. Please, go to a police station in Spain and report the death threats you say you have received, and tell them that you suspect me of being the author. Although I am not going to reveal my real identity here, it is easy to find out with a search engine. Thank you. Pompilos (talk) 14:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

(Spanish) Por cierto, ¿cómo está el tema de la denuncia contra la Biquipedia ante el Tribunal de Derechs Humanos con la que nos amenazaba por vulnerar los Derechos Humanos?. Según usted decía, al no conocer el idioma aragonés era usted incapaz de ver las imágenes existentes en la Biquipedia, y eso era una grave violación "idiomista" (sic, palabra inexistente en su idioma) de sus Derechos Humanos, argumento a todas luces propio de una persona centrada y equilibrada. Sigo esperando la notificación de la denuncia. ¿[https://an.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Tabierna/Politicas&diff=prev&oldid=1756358 Lo recuerda?. Lazaro d'Aragón (talk) 14:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Irony is not a constructive means of communication. The above message is only intended to distract attention from my request (the false accusation that I have addressed death threats to him) and wastes the time of all of us. Pompilos (talk) 23:00, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Dear Meta sysops. You probably do not resolve my complaint against the false accusation of Lazaro d'Aragón because you think that perhaps Lazaro is telling the truth. I am going to put forward a hypothesis. Imagine that I write a message in which I call Lazaro ‘Rapist’. I am sure you would intervene and delete the insult. If I claimed that the insult was based on the fact that Lazaro actually raped me, you would not evaluate whether or not it is true that he raped me. You would reply me that evaluating it is not Meta sysops' responsibility: that the insult would only stand up in Meta if I provide the court sentence proving that this is so, or maybe not even in this case. Lázaro does not provide any court sentence proving that I have threatened to kill him, not even a complaint against me to the police. In doing so, he is accusing me of a crime and damaging my honor and you, Meta sysops, are tolerating it. This is not fair and it has to stop now. Thank you.

Request for Massmessage senders permission

This message is sent on behalf of the Wikipedia Asian Month User Group. I joined the Wikipedia Asian Month User Group about two months ago and am currently the main contact for this user group. With the support of our partners from Wikimedia Taiwan, I will be responsible for this year's WAM campaign. Although I am a newcomer, I am working hard to learn about Wikimedia movement matters.

To prepare for this year's WAM campaign, we need to send invitations to past organizers and convene a call to exchange ideas and opinions about this year's campaign. Here is the sending list and the content.

In addition to this call for past organizers, we will also need to send invitations to potential participants and Barnstars to award winners in the future. Therefore, I would like to request permission to use the MassMessage senders tool.

If there are any aspects of this request that require further clarification or if you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you very much for your assistance and understanding. Betty2407 (talk) 16:48, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Global filters

Hi, could you please review these false positives?

• [1]
• [2]
• [3]
• [4]

Regards,--SRuizR 16:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

I have some suggestions and responses listed

• 1: remove the last two phrases on line 23.
• 2: I emailed a Meta admin to fix the regex due to a mistake.
• 3: Some Meta administrator removed some specific conditions that caused significant false positives.
• 4: I think removing the fourth phrase from line 20 should stop such false positives from happening.

Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 18:56, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Wiki exclusion typo on line 13 of filter 201

Could an administrator replace wikidata with wikidatawiki on filter 201? Just using wikidata does not exclude the Wikidata website at all. Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
