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; 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 . 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.
Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP. Saying an IP 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) 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

It is three wikis and it is targeted, it seems that the wikis themselves would be better to manage it.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:02, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Billinghurst Previous abuse was from a lot more wikis, so evasion is likely. However, recent abuse has been coming from the next /22 range as well, so local blocks might minimise collateral damage for now. I would like to see a steward's opinion on this, however – @Base? ~~~~

Global unblock for 136.158.16.126

Status:    In progress

I'm not sure why this one got blocked as an open proxy. It's not. It's allocated to Philippine ISP Converge. I know it because I'm currently in this IP. Pandakekok9 (talk) 09:51, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Pandakekok9: this is a P2P proxy, a type of temporary proxy, confirmed by a special API created to detect such proxies, and blocked on enwiki and globally blocked. See NOP/P2P for details. Generally, a given IP may be a P2P proxy though the ISP may not be responsible. I've seen many such P2P proxies being abused by LTAs, where the IPs were otherwise looking like normal, home IPs.

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 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 -->

Most of the time not active. When it joins a talk page, it does afterwards two edits in the mainspace. It also opens a new chapter on the talk page instead of joining an existing chapter, forcing the participants to re-discuss the issue and re-count their positions. The result is a chaos in the talk page. It also always tags experts, instead of relying the notice board. It also tried to fish at least three different answers in the checkusers' page. Ronam20 was a valued user in the Hebrew Wikipedia, and this sock took a similar name for confusing. Dgw (talk) 21:07, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Global lock for Dorian Gray Wild

Status:    In progress

Matanya locked Arnon Borochov (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date (alt) • CA • ST • lwcheckuser) without any request at the SRG, after claiming it had been a sock of Dorian Gray Wild, although Arnon Borochov did not do even a single edit in the Hebrew Wikipedia mainspace and userspace. Therefore Dorian Gray Wild has to be locked either. If the stewards prefer to leave Dorian Gray Wild unlocked, user:Arnon Borochov has to be unlocked either. Arnon Borochov and Dorian Gray Wild have to be both unlocked, or alternatively have to be both locked. Dgw (talk) 01:22, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

A sock bypasses another user. Arnon Borochov has not bypassed anyone. Please see its xwiki-contribs. ארנון בורוכוב (Arnon Borochov in Hebrew) was identified as a troll in the Hebrew Wikipedia, but not Arnon Borochov. Arnon Borochov and ארנון בורוכוב were not the same person, as it was found by the Hebrew Wikipedia checkusers. There was not even a SRG request, and Arnon Borochov was locked for nothing.

ארנון בורוכוב took the identity of Arnon Borochov, and was locked.
Afterwards, a steward locked also Arnon Borochov.
The Hebrew Wikipedia claimed that Arnon Borochov was a "sock" of Dorian Gray Wild, in spite of Arnon did not do any editing in the Hebrew Wikipedia. Only Dorian edited there. If Arnon was a "sock" of Dorian, Dorian had to be locked either. On a second thought, I withdrew it. Dgw (talk) 21:54, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Dorian Gray Wild, I truly do not understand how or why you're being accused of being a sockpuppet of this user, and on what evidence that is based. If you have any links, I'd be happy to look into it. Also, the following accounts are confirmed to each other:

Hope this helps. Vermont (talk) 23:57, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Vermont, I also truly do not understand how or why Arnon Borochov was accused of being a sock of Dorian Gray Wild. It is claimed here.
Both socks took the identitiy of Arnon Borochov. It is written in the locking reason: "Impersonation" and "Lock evasion":

The endless chase of Moshe Halevi after Arnon Borochov is shown here. Both links "halemo.net/edoar/0103/borochov" and "halemo.net/edoar/0103/0003" are copyvio of "Yedioth Ahronoth" and "Channel 10 (Israel)" corporations.
I do not know why the above twelve accounts were locked without performing any editing nor any SRG request. Dgw (talk) 05:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Dorian Gray Wild, the above 12 accounts are all operated by the same user, and some had already been locked. Therefore, all were locked. I don't see the problem here. Vermont (talk) 12:10, 30 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

The original message, "Mauvaise foi
Ma chère Bedevore, ne soyez pas de mauvaise foi. Vous dites que j'aurais dû lancer un arbitrage.
Mais de 1) Il n'y avait pas matière à un arbitrage, puisque votre jules Jules avait demandé à MilkyWikiWay et à moi de ne plus contribuer. Cela me paraît clair et simple à appliquer. Alors pourquoi JohnNewton8 a-t-il imposé la version de MilkyWikiWay ??? Et de 2) Pour lancer un arbitrage, il faudrait d'abord que mes comptes ne soient pas systématiquement bloqués dès leur première contribution. Et mes interventions effacées, comme sous Staline" translates to this: "Bad faith
My dear Bedevore, do not be in bad faith. You say that I should have launched an arbitration.
But 1) There was no matter for arbitration, since your jules Jules had asked MilkyWikiWay and me to no longer contribute. This seems to me to be clear and simple to apply. So why did JohnNewton8 impose the MilkyWikiWay version ??? And 2) To launch an arbitration, it would first be necessary that my accounts are not systematically blocked from their first contribution. And my interventions erased, as under Stalin.". They are also implying that they are engaged in sockpuppetry by saying that they were blocked somewhere else here on the Wikimedia projects.
