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 unblock for 49.228.171.8

Does not appear to be a webhost or open proxy and I don't understand why my IP is block, I never use Tor Browser or VPN to be serving on any Wikipedia. And please use easy English to me because I don't much understand. --SirPSchwegen (talk) 04:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, none of my proxy checkers give any indication that this would be a proxy either, but pinging the blocking steward @Jon Kolbert:. EPIC (talk) 05:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Could you fix it or give me some advice for me, please? I don't know how to do with this. SirPSchwegen (talk) 07:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I've pinged the blocking steward of this IP to see how they came to the conclusion that this was a proxy. However, in the meantime I have set the block to only affect anonymous users, so you should now be able to edit. EPIC (talk) 07:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much indeed, I hope it are not in the bad way result. SirPSchwegen (talk) 07:45, 26 April 2024 (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, --~~~~
