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

If you are here because you have been affected 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 or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

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 .
Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts 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.
Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP or account. Saying an IP or account is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You know the IP address(es) or accounts 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 or account, if any.

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

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked.
=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] ===
{{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

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

Be sure to follow the instructions below:
  • Your request might be rejected if it 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 VRT queue at stewards-oversight@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-appeals@wikimedia.org.

Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward.

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 Foo ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
* {{LockHide|username}}
* {{LockHide|username|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the name to be visible on this page -->
*...
Reasons, etc. --~~~~

For many accounts:

=== Global lock for spambots/vandals ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
{{MultiLock|username|username2|username3}}
{{MultiLock|username|username2|username3|hidename=1}} <!-- if you do not want the names to be visible on this page -->
*...
Reasons, etc, --~~~~

@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: Hi. As per our recent discussion, we are moving towards abstaining from locking if they are only active on a particular wiki, even if the original account is locked(except global ban). Can you tell us if they have ever been active outside of Vietnamese Wikipedia? Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 09:45, 19 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
@Sotiale: They (including these) are suspected sockpuppets of MiG29VN, who is also a known sockpuppeteer on en.wiki. Unnamed UserName me 09:52, 19 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: Prior to that, Trankimtuyensg and Quanluchn, which were supposed to be their master accounts, were not locked. Is there any reason to lock their accounts? --Sotiale (talk) 10:06, 19 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
Since MiG29VN have been cross-vandalizing political-and-LGBTs-related content for years, there is reason to believe that they will abuse these accounts on several wikis. Unnamed UserName me 10:24, 19 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
Trankimtuyensg and Quanluchn are managed as separate cases in viwiki, is there any reason why they are managed as separate cases? --Sotiale (talk) 09:12, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
There are multiple similarities in their edits, but our CU did not confirm. However, I do suspect MiG29VN to be the sockpuppeteer, per the duck test. Unnamed UserName me 10:02, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@DHN: Hello. Could you please give me your opinion if they are related? It will help me to process this request. Thank you. --Sotiale (talk) 10:44, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Sotiale: They don't share IPs, but have similar UserAgent, which I felt wasn't strong enough to make a conclusion. I defer to NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh on the similarities in terms of M.O. DHN (talk) 18:36, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
Thank you, DHN. @NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh: From what I understand, their master account has never been locked, and you're the first to make a request to them. If you look at these accounts you requested, their recent activity is limited to viwiki, unlike accounts that were blocked a long time ago. In order for these accounts to be locked, evidence of recent cross-wiki abuse outside viwiki is required. Could you please provide this to us? Thanks. --Sotiale (talk) 12:53, 22 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
@Sotiale: All of those socks have never participate in any project rather than vi.wiki except for Trankimtuyensg, so I request global lock for their confirmed socks and withdraw the rest (including these if inappropriate):

Thanks for making it clear. Where was Trankimtuyensg blocked besides viwiki? --Sotiale (talk) 11:23, 23 October 2021 (UTC)Antwort
Sorry for the late reply. I highly suspect Trankimtuyensg to be MiG29VN, who is also blocked at en.wiki. Unnamed UserName me 16:19, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Symphonium264: Hitzeed is only locally blocked on idwiki. This looks more like a local affair, which doesn't warrant a lock but rather a local block. Trijnsteltalk 10:12, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Antwort

Long-term abuse. Cross-wiki abuse. confirmed socks on enwiki, w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Curious boy km/Archive.

@QueerEcofeminist: But 'active on multiple projects' is not the same as cross-wiki abuse, where is the abuse across multiple projects? Trijnsteltalk 19:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Antwort
For the fact that, 1) they had to create socks and even socks were blocked on enwiki. 2) SPI was held and they were blocked. 3) All their commons uploads were deleted.c:User_talk:Kmishra1024 4) on maiwiki, hiwiki they pleading to other editors to keep their article creations w:hi:Special:Diff/5357993 , w:hi:Special:Diff/1041278 . On wikidata we can see how they have linked all the pages they have created in this promotional project of their own. I don't know how to define abuse of wikiprojects more than this? owing to slow processes at regional languages. Eventually they will blocked soon. it happened on enwiki very fast. And anyways crosswiki socking will create more complexities. QueerEcofeminist [they/them/their] 12:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Note that other accounts listed at w:Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Curious boy km also appear to be editing multiple projects, though since I don't speak any of the languages, I can't say anything about the abuse ("promoting political parties from nepal"). ~~~~

II. Niveles has been carrying out attack activities for a long time by creating sockpuppets on Turkish Wikipedia, the puppets have been approved by the checkuser. Global locks are requested. --Kadıköylü (talk) 14:43, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • According to the global lock reasons, this request is not suitable. My alternative accounts, including VT Bot and Sheldon Cooper, is have a positive edits on Turkish Wikipedia and own account has contributed to various Wikimedia project. Being blocked from a Wikipedia project does not require being blocked from all Wikimedia projects. Best, --Victor Trevor (talk) 15:31, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • This is not a talk page. It has been proven by the checkuser's review that you are a sock puppet of II. Niveles, which has been blocked in many projects. While making positive contributions with this sock puppet, you tried to hide other harmful sock puppets. Your explanations are not valid.--Kadıköylü (talk) 15:38, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Just a little correction: Victor and his alternative accounts were banned because of probable meat puppetry, not sock puppetry. It's worth to point out. --07 (talk) 15:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
