Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat

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

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.

Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages:
- Requests for (translation/central notice/interface) adminship on this Meta-Wiki
- Requests for CheckUser information on this Meta-Wiki
- Requests for oversight of edits on this Meta-Wiki
- General requests for permissions on other wikis
- Requests for CentralNotice banners and campaigns

MassMessage for Pyb en résidenceEdit

Hello,

I would like to have massmessage right to send out a newsletter about French universities, delivered to talk pages. We only send the newsletter, to people on a list created on Meta. It's part of my work as a wikimedian in residence. The draft for March is available on the French Wikipedia. Pyb en résidence (talk) 08:58, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Pyb en résidence please point to your delivery target list. — xaosflux ^Talk 09:06, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Xaosflux the target list will be on this page: WikiESR. Pyb en résidence (talk) 10:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Pyb en résidence is this only from and for people on the French Wikipedia? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Xaosflux The newsletter will be in French, but universities are doing stuff on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, so I believe that those 3 communities might be interested by this newsletter. That is why I've put the target list on meta. Pyb en résidence (talk) 14:36, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unjustified blocking in Wiktionary from the admin User:Vininn126Edit

Hi. I was blocked for 30 days. I think this admin behaves with partiality and blocks without reason. I made only 1 one edit cancellation out of 2 possible ones. Please help me. Gnosandes (talk) 19:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is nothing the meta-wiki admins can do about blocks on that project, see this page for information on blocks there. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
