Steward requests/Global permissions

Steward requests (Global permissions)

This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global sysop, global rename, …) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications.

This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.

Successful global rollback requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion, while successful global renamer and global sysop discussions require no fewer than 2 weeks. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

Requests for global rollback permissionsEdit

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

Please also review the Global rollback policy.

Please note that global rollbacker discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag
You have a global account;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

To make a request: Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.

=== Global rollback for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = Username
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (other than requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, no other exceptions are allowed, no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Requests for global sysop permissionsEdit

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

Please also review the Global sysops policy.

Stewards: When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.

Please note that global sysop discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

You have a global account;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

To make a request: Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).

=== Global sysop for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = Username
}}
:''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than two weeks (no exceptions are allowed no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Global IP block exempt for CswquzEdit

Status: Done

Global user: Cswquz (edits • CA • global groups • crosswiki-ness • crossactivity)

Hello,

I am from mainland China, which blocked all projects of wikimedia since April this year, and so from then on I can only view and edit Wiki via VPNs, which are deemed as open-proxies. I am an IPblock-exempt user on zh.wikipedia.org, with fairly well credit (having edited for thousands of times without a single block).

I mainly edit on zh.wikipedia.org, but sometimes I need to edit on other wiki projects as well, including en.wikipedia.org and wikidata (I have contributed hundreds and dozens of edits on them respectively), etc. So please allow me to bypass the ipblock, thanks,

Global IP block exempt for GogolplexEdit

Status: In progress

Global user: Gogolplex (edits • CA • global groups • crosswiki-ness • crossactivity)

Hello, I am from Turkey and Wikipedia has been banned since 2017. I need to use a VPN service in order to access Wikipedia, which is why I am constantly getting the message while editing and translating articles that my IP has been banned. I'm most active on Turkish Wikipedia, but also contribute to English Wikipedia on topics about Cyprus and Turkey sometimes. I request a global IP-block. thanks, --Gogolplex (talk) 10:59, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

If you edit English Wikipedia, you will need local IP global block exemption here. Ruslik (talk) 07:28, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for 高文海Edit

Status: Done

Global user: 高文海 (edits • CA • global groups • crosswiki-ness • crossactivity)

I'm living in China and I have to use VPNs to make edits due to Internet censorship in China. I've already got IPBE on Chinese Wikipedia but I need to make edits on other projects such as Wikibooks. Thanks, --高文海 (talk) 05:56, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Trailblazer101Edit

Status: In progress

Global user: Trailblazer101 (edits • CA • global groups • crosswiki-ness • crossactivity)

I was going to request a page protection for a page on Wikipedia, but, when I submitted the form, I got the IP block message. I'd like to say that I am only using a VPN for the means of bypassing internet restrictions forced upon me by my parents due to our internet provider allowing so, and I would like to have this block undone and a global sysop done for me so I can proporly go about things such as page protection requests properly, as I have no malicious intent to use my VPN for harmful things on Wikipedia or any other sites. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:07, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Trailblazer101, I'm assuming you mean you want IP block exemption? Vermont (talk) 23:40, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I'd like. Trailblazer101 (talk) 23:47, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Great! :) I've moved this request to the correct location. Vermont (talk) 23:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for JagulinEdit

Status: In progress

Global user: Jagulin (edits • CA • global groups • crosswiki-ness • crossactivity)

Occationally blocked when travelling etc. I'd like to ask for exemption from the global IP block. I'd also like to remind about the [[Global_blocks#Guidelines|]] saying Global blocks should, (..) be placed with the anonymous only flag on. I'm asuming it means that registered users should not be affected. For a global IP block I see no reason to block authenticated users, especially users with a good track record (autoconfirmed on some site). Your IP address is in a range which has been blocked on all wikis. The block was made by Jon Kolbert (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open Proxy: Colocation webhost - blocked range is 37.120.129.0/24.

Thanks! --Jagulin (talk) 03:04, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
