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.

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: You know the IP address(es) you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked. For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met. 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: stewardswikimediaorg

Global block for 181.120.178.107

Status:    In progress

• 181.120.178.107 xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^(alt) • ST • IP info • WHOIS • robtex • gblock • glist • abuselog • bullseye

Cross-wiki abuse. This user adds hoaxes on articles related to South American television networks and sports events broadcasting. It is a dynamic address, the user has also used 181.120.130.58, 181.120.131.44 and 181.120.137.244 in the past if it helps to find its range. It was blocked on the English and Spanish Wikipedia and is now editing in the Portuguese edition. --Bankster (talk) 02:33, 16 January 2020 (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 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-oversightwikimediaorg (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-appealswikimediaorg. 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: You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s). You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption. 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, --~~~~

Abusive username. --轻语者 (talk) 10:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

What is abusive in it? Ruslik (talk) 08:44, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Nothing abusive IMO, but clear spamming, will be asking for local blocks. Weird rationale by submitter.--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:05, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

And the submitter is voting keep at c:Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_AutoMapa#Files_uploaded_by_AutoMapa_(talk_·_contribs). A logo with this supposedly abusive username can be kept, where this username is abusive. I don't get the logic. I will suggest stewards to close this as not done. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:41, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

• Not done Steward intervention not required at this point in time. Please read the guidelines for requesting a global lock before making another request. ~riley (talk) 02:07, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello.
I am requesting the global lock of this new account of the cross-wiki long-term abuser described in Stewards' noticeboard/Archives/2019-05#User making tests/comments since at least May 2017.
I have canceled the edits, except the ones in the talk pages of the account (example) and the ones in the talk pages of old accounts of the same abuser (example).
Regards --NicoScribe (talk) 16:03, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
