This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

If you are here because you have been blocked by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses; and (un)locks apply to global accounts

Requests for global (un)block

  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. Only IP addresses can be globally blocked at this moment. Please see #Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding if your request involves an account.
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses 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.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You know the IP address(es) you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
  2. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
  3. For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP, if any.

To make a request for the address(es) to be blocked or unblocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address|Some IP address]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address}}
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: stewards wikimedia org

I do not understand why I, a volunteer of the Bashkir Wikipedia, get into the zone of blocking for the second time (29.02 and 31.02).

There are 0 edits outside of enwiki and I don't see any evidence of xwiki spamming. What are you talking about, MarioJump83? Praxidicae (talk) 18:45, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
@Jeff G. and Praxidicae: these are suspected IPs used by Richybeno and socks, and I transcluded them to here after no progress about Richybeno and sock(s) global lock. MarioJump83! 02:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
@MarioJump83: Moved from #Global lock for Richybeno and sock(s) without context, maybe. Please provide context and see wikt:transclude. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 03:04, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: To clarify what I did, I moved the IPs out of the Richybeno (formerly Alpsintegral) global lock request because I believe that the IPs delayed the process of eventual global lock (or decline), which happened to عہۗلہٰےاہۣۗلعہرہۣۗاقہۗے and sock(s). When I saw that user I mentioned before wasn't globally locked, I decided to move the IPs out from the global lock request and copied the content of the request with a global block request, and this is what I did on these edits. I did the identical strategy shortly after عہۗلہٰےاہۣۗلعہرہۣۗاقہۗے was globally locked to the Alpsintegral/Richybeno request with these edits, with the intent to help the process and hopefully globally locking them (note that I disagree with the global lock). I don't intend to disrupt what you're doing at all, but to help and speed up the process. If you believe that is wrong thing to do, I'm sorry for what I did. I think what I said above is enough for you to understand the context of what I did in February 23. Thanks! MarioJump83! 08:20, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Global unblock for 24.211.243.241

Status:    In progress

Hello, The IP range this address is in has a history of abusive users on the network. Unfortunately, these users have moved onto our address and vandalized multiple wikis which ended with a global block on the users of network. Innocent users, like me were caught in this block, and we have done nothing wrong. That's why, on behalf of all innocent users, I come to appeal this block. Shinyedit (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Note: I no longer really need this appeal for myself (new IP address), but I'll leave it for others. Shinyedit (talk) 12:44, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

  Note that global blocking currently only applies to IPs, due to a technical limitation. If you wish to request a named account for global [un]locking, please request a global [un]lock here instead. Be sure to follow the instructions below:
  • Your request might be rejected if your request 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 OTRS queue at stewards wikimedia org (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 wikimedia.org.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that:

  1. You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
  2. You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
  3. 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 [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
* {{LockHide|username}}

It appears the user changed name to Richybeno, uploaded copyvio File:Rachel Parris Press Shot.jpg to Commons, and vandalized the article with it. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 13:49, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
As the subject is an obviously good faith user, this request must be declined. I have reached out to the user to try to explain how they can successfully go about in donating copyrighted materials (which is what they're trying to do if we assume good faith, and which no-one has yet explained in language comprehensible to them). — Bilorv (talk) 16:01, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
That's not so obvious to me, as they appear to have been practicing UPE and the above since 25 January, using 4 account names and 2 IP Addresses. They keep uploading and adding unfree photos of Rachel Parris to her article (which appeared first elsewhere on the Internet), and have thus far refused to provide a recent free photo of her (or OTRS permission for a previously mentioned photo). -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 09:15, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure if they are global-lock worthy, because of lack of activity in the recent days. MarioJump83! 01:33, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
I forgot to say that Richybeno was formerly Alpsintegral and the IPs 45.72.252.190 and 2.7.30.154 were moved out from this global lock request. What I intended to do was to help and hope that this will speed up the process. MarioJump83! 08:22, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Global lock for LTA UnderArmourKid socks

Lock all:

Socks of the LTA Lightning Sabre (the "UnderArmourKid" LTA), a copycat of IPhonehurricane95's tropical cyclone and 9/11 imagery vandalism; the LTA also engages in cross-wiki socking and harassment. He returned as soon as his previous Global Rangeblocks expired. Please run sleeper checks and Globally Block the IP ranges again for longer periods of time, with the "anon-only" setting (short blocks don't seem to deter him at all). LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 21:32, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

@Ruslik0, Stryn, Wim b, and RadiX: Can someone please run sleeper checks and reblock the ranges? This LTA is back, and he's not going to stop as long as he has access to his ranges. Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 21:32, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
This LTA is back with new socks. Can someone please lock the accounts and Globally Block his IP ranges? Thanks. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 20:43, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
So far I see all accounts were created at the English Wikipedia with no edits at other wiki's. At the moment this looks like the problem is at the English Wikipedia. I would be more inclined to globally block the IP's if there are other wikis being hit as well, which is not the case at the moment, Wiki13 (talk) 21:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
