Requests for comment/Blocked for no reason at Greek Wikipedia

This is a subpage; for more information, see the Requests for comments page.


Hello, I would like to ask for help. Recently I was blocked on Greek Wikipedia indefinitely for no reason by user Kalogeropoulos. Reason which this user indicated is use of multiple accounts, as showed here, while I have not used any other account on that language Wikipedia nor misused such. My global account is 10 years old, I am active Wikipedian. I was discussing also with some other users. What I did is that I just suggested concerns about deletion of some articles by some other user in the discussion. My edit was ment just to evaluate his actions by other users there and say, if his actions were appropriate or not. My concern was immediately deleted. There was not even one notification before he used block.

Checkuser utility can easily prove that there is no such reason, I have not used any account as is suggested. In this case there is a problem that on other Wikimedia Projects such as English Wikipedia, every user can always request for review of their block (Wikipedia:Appealing a block), but on Greek Wikipedia there is no such option as block is complete and you cannot even ask for review in your discussion. I have also asked some three Greek Wikipedia Administrators on Wikimedia Commons (as here, here), but no one reacted there to my message after 1 month of waiting for response. Can you please help me? What should I do? Thank you very much. --ThecentreCZ (talk) 07:37, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kalogeropoulos Would it be possible to provide some explanation about the block? Was a checkuser analysis performed? TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion is open, he can ask there to be unblocked. No there was not checkuser analysis, only ducktest. He used the same pattern of attack against another admin, used frequently by another blocked user. Imperative style of demand on restoring an article deleted as mechanical translation Kalogeropoulos (talk) 20:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When more users, not just blocked ones, adressed this style of immadiate deletion of articles, it doesn't mean it must be same person. I am sorry, but message you mentional was no "imperative attack" on admin at all, but this was my worried request to undone or explain actions of this user, which I posted on 15 June 2024. This was clearly not reason for block, reason given at block is: usage of multiple accounts. I was not blocked in any way after 3 weeks, when I posted this request, because this was normal concern in the discussion. I was blocked on 6 July 2024, the real reason was, that I posted on the same day (6 July 2024) detailed concern about administrator conduct in here: Αφαίρεση δικαιωμάτων/2024/Εὐθυμένης, which was immadiatelly removed. (Administrators#Misuse of tools) I summarized there in detail questionable behavior of administrator, also with examples from history which I analyzed. This absolutely constructive objection was immadiatelly removed and I was blocked for pointing at these problamatic conductions. This concern was written in absolutelly professional and constructive way. Normal procedure would be to evaluate concerns given and accept or decline notice as suitable or not.
Block log clearly say usage of multiple accounts. Not any other conducts. I don't even live in Greece, I dont even have any connection to other mainly Greek-user IP accounts, which maybe didn't followed the rules and were correctly blocked. I must again strictly refuse this reason as I have not used there any other account. That doesn't mean that conduction of these specific administrators was in accordance with Wikipedia standards in cases of articles removal of articles. Thank you.
