IP blocked

Hi! You blocked the IP 108.61.0.0/16 and mentioned an OTRS ticket as reason (which I can't read). Can you give me more details about this ban ? A user on fr.wp ask to create an account using this IP. Ping me please. Best wishes, --Arthur Crbz (talk) 07:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Arthur Crbz:, This IP range is blocked by Vituzzu because of spam, I had just modified to allow registered users to edit as there were reports of collateral damage.--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 09:25, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Can you allow account creation too ? The request was about it. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 13:44, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

There is no option to unblock only account creation, but we can create an account for them if they can email their desired username and email address to stewards@wikimedia.org. @Vituzzu: I still dont see any block log after Billinghurst's block removal log, Can we remove this block again, as there are collatral damage? (i have seen couple of otrs tickets and Billinghurst also mentioned in the removal log)--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 14:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

I am affected by the same issue, because I am in the same ip range. I'm on a fixed IP. I think conditions have changes since 2015.--155.254.6.51 20:13, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

155.254.0.0/16 IP range was blocked by a collegue for spam, unforutnately we dont have an option to unblock a single IP from a range. I had modified the block to allow registered users. Please create an account on this wiki and continue editing. --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 03:06, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

I have shortened the range block. now you should be able to edit without loggin in--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 03:26, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Help design a new feature to stop harassing emails

Hi there,

The Anti-Harassment Tools team plans to start develop of a new feature to allow users to restrict emails from new accounts. This feature will allow an individual user to stop harassing emails from coming through the Special:EmailUser system from abusive sockpuppeting accounts.

We’re inviting you to join the discussion because you have experience dealing with abusive sockpuppeting accounts and you work across many wikis. We think that your insights will help us build a better feature.

You can leave comments on this discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.

It is important to hear from a broad range of people who are interested in the design of the tool, so we hope you join the discussion and let us know how it would work best for you.

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

வணக்கம் சண்முகம் ஐயா ஒரு உதவி வேணும்

எனக்கு ஒரு உதவி வேணும் எனக்கு தெரிந்த என் நண்பர் பக்கத்தை இன்னொரு பக்கத்துடன்

merge இணைக்க பார்க்கிறார்கள்.

சொல்லப்போனால் merge பண்ணவேண்டிய பக்கத்தில் இன்னும் வரலாறு சீராக இல்லை. வேலை நடந்து கொண்டிருகிறதுக்கு அதற்க்குள் அதை protect செய்து விட்டார்கள். தாங்கள் தான் அதை மாற்றிய அமைத்து தரவேண்டும் சண்முகம் ஐயா. Mohammad Althaf (talk) 05:05, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

வணக்கம் @Mohammad Althaf:. உங்களுக்கு எந்த விக்கியில் எந்த பக்கத்தை குறித்த உதவி வேண்டும்? பொதுவாக ஒரு பக்கம் குறித்த உதவிக்கு அப்பக்கத்தில் பேச்சுப் பக்கத்தில் முறையிடலாம். என்னாலும் தனிப்பட்டு எதுவும் செய்ய இயலாது. விக்கி கொள்கைகளுக்கும் சமூக கருத்தொற்றுமைக்கும் உட்பட்டே செயல்பட இயலும். --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 14:11, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

தவறான ஒரு பதிப்பு செய்ய கூடாது அதற்கு உங்கள் உதவி தேவை மதிப்பிற்குரிய சண்முகம் அவர்களே

அது ஒரு ஒடுக்கப்பட்ட தமிழ் இன குழு ஆனால் அதை வடமாநிலத்தில் இருக்கும் ஒரு இனத்தோடு இணைக்க வேண்டும் என்று அதில் கூறப்படுகிறது. அதுவுமில்லாமல் அதை merge பண்ண நினைப்பவர் அதை பற்றி சீரான தகவலை அறியவில்லை என்பதே என்னுடைய கருத்து. நானும் ஒரு பொறியில் பட்டதாரி தான் உங்களை போல. எனக்கு தெரிந்தவரால் நான் விக்கிப்பீடியாவில் இணைந்தேன். அதுனால் எனக்கு தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியாவில் கொஞ்சம் தெரிகிறது. இங்கிலீஷில் தெரியவில்லை இல்லையேல் பங்களிப்பேன் https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vannar

Mohammad Althaf (talk) 14:32, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

மன்னிக்கவும். இது போன்ற கட்டுரைகளில் நான் பங்களிப்பதில்லை. உங்களுடைய கருத்தை இப்பக்கத்தில் {{edit semi-protected}} என்ற வார்ப்புருவுடன் இடவும்.--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 14:45, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

உங்களால் ஆனா உதவி செய்யுங்கள்

அப்பக்கத்தை merge பண்ணாமல் வைக்க தாங்கள் தான் உதவ வேண்டும். Mohammad Althaf (talk) 14:35, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm not an IT expert, but I know our company just signed up for a new fiber optic line and this error popped up. Would you kindly review the block, to confirm that nothing has changed since 2015? I am concerned that this might be unnecessarily affecting the users of SilverIP Communications Inc. in a major city. That being said, I barely comprehend what an open proxy is, so it may jest be how our company's network is set up.--155.254.6.51 17:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I modified the block to allow SilverIP Communications range 155.254.6.0/24 since there seems to be change of ip allocation, if we see any abuse again the block may be reinstated --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 03:24, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Global preferences ready for testing

Greetings,

I am contacting you because of your support for Global settings in the 2016 Community Tech Wishlist. Global preferences are now available for beta testing, and need your help before being released to the wikis.

1. Read over the help page, it is brief and has screenshots
2. Login or register an account on Beta English Wikipedia
3. Visit Global Preferences and try enabling and disabling some settings
4. Visit some other language and project test wikis such as English Wikivoyage, German Wiktionary, the Hebrew Wikipedia and test the settings
5. Report your findings, experience, bugs, and other observations

Once the team has feedback on design issues, bugs, and other things that might need worked out, the problems will be addressed and global preferences will be sent to the wikis.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Blocked?

Hi, Wikipedia will not allow me to edit. It says you have blocked me. I have yet to edit Wikipedia, so I am confused as to why I am blocked. Thank you for your response. - Blocked newbie

Hi, The IP range was blocked by a colleague because of excessive spamming, I just modified it to allow registered users but now unblocked the range as there were too many collateral --Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 18:16, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Translation request

Hello, I see you speak Tamil.I was wondering if you can translate "Commune in Morocco" and "village in Indonesia". It is for updating Wikidata. Thanks in advance. --Artix Kreiger (Message Wall) 20:27, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger:Commune in Morocco - மொராக்கோவிலுள்ள உள்ளூராட்சிப் பிரிவு , village in Indonesia - இந்தோனேசியாவிலுள்ள கிராமம்--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 18:12, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Emergency in KaWiki

Dear steward,
Please read my explanation thoroughly. It is about an inexorable situation in the Georgian Wikipedia, the long-established. Every attempt to solve the problem locally fails again and again. So, please, do not be indifferent.
The requests are extraordinary, so I do not write on a general page, but personally.
Best regards, Deu. 18:07, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Supporting Fake Business Advertisement

Really appreciate someone that helps Wikipedia. However, one of the pages you assisted is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleTech_Centers There is an excellent real news article about Charlie Fink, the real engineer of Virtual World Entertainment, INC created by Tim Disney. However, this site was hijacked by an advertiser at "www.mechjock.com" Around 2007, his friend at dropshipcommand posted a fake article describing some deal. DropshipCommand was removed by ICANN for this and other complaints. Wikipedia should not promote a self-promotion from "nick Smith" as the self-proclaimed owner. The article claims the headquarters was moved to Michigan. In the US, a Business in any state requires a license registration. These are generally free to the public on the State Corporation Commission web site. A State Registration License provides a legal name (like a copyright) for to use that name in the State of operation. It is also a legal registration revenue. The State presents a public status to protect consumers. MechJock LLC, and Virtual World Entertainment, LLC in Michigan status are "Not in Good Standing" since about 2009. This is public published information from the legal source. This article on Wikipedia BattleTech Centers is basically a self advertisement by a business that may not be what they say. Many of the claims made are not even cited. Just because anyone creates a webpage and makes claims, doesn't make the story true.

Perhaps you can spend a moment and delete any information that isn't properly cited? This is the kind of thing that could give Wikipedia a bad reputation.

Central notice adminship

Hi! For security reasons, the Foundation decided to remove the rights related to Central Notice adminship from regular Meta admins, so that only the special group "central notice administrators" still has them. Since you made CN-related actions in the last 12 months, WMF requested us Meta bureaucrats to add you to do this group, in order not to disturb your workflow. The announcement can be found here. Best regards --MF-W 23:42, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
