Requests for global rollback permissions

Shortcut:
SRGR
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the Global rollback policy.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global sysop for Mathonius

Status:    In progress

Hello, I'd like to apply for global sysop access. I have been a member of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team since June 23th 2011 and was granted global rollback privileges two months ago (here). As an administrator on nl.wikipedia (since October 2010; here) and meta (since August 2011; here), I've gained experience in using these tools and I understand the corresponding responsibilities. Global sysop access would greatly improve my ability to help protect and maintain the smaller wiki's. I understand the role global sysops are supposed to fulfill (the local communities are key and consensus may not be overrided) and I will always respect that. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I'm able to communicate in both Dutch and English, and (with difficulty) in French and German. Thanks for your consideration, Mathonius 05:19, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for SPQRobin

Status:    In progress

Hi, I'm a bureaucrat/admin on Incubator, member of the language committee and MediaWiki software developer. I'd like to have global adminship so I can do maintenance work. For example, in a few weeks MediaWiki 1.18 will be deployed which includes a conversion script I made for Inuktitut, so I can clean up the Inuktitut Wikipedia (iuwiki). I also improved RTL support, so it would be useful if I could correct MediaWiki:Common.css pages on wikis that need updating. I also often import content when new wikis are created, so these rights can be useful as well then (now, temporary admin rights are given when needed). It can also be useful to delete a few redundant MediaWiki namespace pages on small wikis (there are lots of them, but deleting all of them apparently would need community consensus). My main intention is not fighting vandalism, but when I come across vandalism, I'll certainly delete/revert it. Thank you, SPQRobin (talk) 13:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.</translate>

Global IP block exempt for Striker

Status:    Not done

Sometimes I am affected by a local block applied to 189.27.0.0/16 (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • CA • ST • lwcheckuser), wrongly identified as open proxy, on some projects. It happened now when I tried to revert this edit. I'm requesting this to not take effect of some undue blocks for supposed open proxies anymore. Striker talk 14:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exemption only works against global blocks. If you're affected by a local block (as seems to be the case here), you would need to apply for an exemption locally. Jafeluv 14:58, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I thought this would solve the issue. That IP range is blocked as open proxy on many wikis. Althrough they don't always affect me and I can evade them by restarting the router, these blocks are still a nuisance. A global flag would work better in my eyes. Striker talk 15:24, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Comment If the option Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt) was checked at this page, global IPBE would work against those local IP blocks. I don't know if you're allowed to make such change or are willing to discuss about it, however I don't see an issue for it to not be done. The accounts with the global flag will still be able to be directly blocked if a local community decides to do so. Striker talk 16:47, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The option of overriding local blocks was never in that group. We created this group for users having problems with global blocks. You should seek local IP-block-exemptions. Annoying, yes. -- Marco Aurelio 18:24, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
