Hello Linedwell!, and welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there).

A barnstar for you!

[edit]
This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.
This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 13:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the Barnstar, it will be one little more motivation to help with translations in the future. Sorry for my awfull english, I 'm not very good in foreign languages. --Linedwell@frwiki 16:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Fundraising translation feedback

[edit]

Hey Linedwell,

I wanted to ask for your help. As you may be aware we have been running banners on many language wikis. We have a lot of new content this year and I really want to conduct a thorough review of our translations. This is a combination of feedback from the community, readers, donors as well as those with professional translator experience. This will help us ensure the highest quality of translations used in our messaging.

To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to give us feedback in french using This Link

Simply follow the simple instructions on that page and if you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Many Thanks

Boris Vian

[edit]

Salut Linedwell

Je suis très découragé. Cela fait cinq fois que j'envoie le message reçu de la cohérie boris Vian ( héritiers de Boris Vian) et la photo qu'ils m'ont envoyé attachée au message. On vient de la supprimer en disant qu'il n'y a pas eu d'autorisation. Iù uis-je encore envoyer ce messages ( les héritiers Vian commencent à en avoir marre de wikimedia commons, ils sont comme moi, ils ne comprennent rien). Merci pour ton aide.--Lepetitlord (talk) 21:35, 8 March 2014 (UTC) (sur wikipédia je suis là http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Lepetitlord)Reply

Userbox template

[edit]

Hi, I noticed that the latest SWMT userbox edit removed its capability to be placed at the centre... can that be added or go back to hard-coding if it had more options? -- Mentifisto 21:30, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Mentifisto: Hi, it seems SWMT userbox lost is capability to be centered (like every other userbox, {{User OTRS}}

, {{User admin}} , ...) but this capacity wasn't "excpected" for an userbox. About the hardcoding I don't think this is a good idea for 1 reason, the size of this "fake box" isn't the same than the "true boxes". Linedwell@frwiki (talk) 22:23, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

What do you mean by fake and true boxes? Including <center> will change its size? -- Mentifisto 18:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Mentifisto: I call "true" infobox the ones using the {{Userbox}} template. The previous box had a different size than the boxes using {{Userbox}}. Adding the <center> wouldn't change the size. But it would "break" the displays of regular boxes and this one when used on the same page. Linedwell@frwiki (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
'Float' is a parameter on enwiki's template... would that also alter the size? Only problem is, it doesn't seem to be able to align to the center... -- Mentifisto 02:10, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Mentifisto: Float doesn't alter the size, and yes "center" isn't a valid parameter to the float property (allowed ones are: "none", "left", "right", "initial" and "inherit" (float property documentation). Linedwell@frwiki (talk) 10:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

Hello! Will you look, please, at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/37.144.145.16 That seems to be a destructive bot. What do you think about it? Domitori (talk) 04:12, 17 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Domitori: Hi, it seems to be a bot but edit summary is one of commons:Mediawiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js that is enabled (by default) for everyone (including non logged users) on Commons. Kindly, Linedwell@frwiki (talk) 11:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
There is similar case at the Russian version of wikisource, but this time the bot is handled by the registered user Lozman, who removes the text of the following authors:
https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/Леонард_Борисович_Терновский
https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/Софья_Васильевна_Каллистратова
https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/Александр_Павлович_Тимофеевский
The texts are moved to some strange site http://wikilivres.ru
There, the user with the same nick Lozman removes them with pretext of violation of the copyright
(the licenses from Wikisource are not transferred to that site).
You may look for the example at
https://ru.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Леонард_Борисович_Терновский&oldid=96651
Do you think, such an activity also should be allowed? Domitori (talk) 13:21, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations!

[edit]

Hello Linedwell,

On behalf of the stewards' election committee, congratulations on your election as a steward! Your permissions have now been set and you are able to start working.

You have been added to the list of stewards and the stewards' chart. Please take a moment to check that your details are accurate and update them if necessary.

You have been given access to the mailing lists related to your steward duties, which include: checkuser-l, the private mailing list for Wikimedia checkusers, stewards-l, the private list for stewards. In addition, you have been or will be given access to the related private wikis, one for checkusers and the other solely for stewards, details of which will be provided.

If you use IRC, you will be given access to several channels, including #wikimedia-checkuserconnect and #wikimedia-privacyconnect. Please also idle in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect when you are available for duty.

Best of luck with your new tools; I am sure you will do a fantastic job. Please remember that your fellow stewards are always available if you need a second opinion, either via the mailing list or on IRC.

Renommage ?

Bonjour Linedwell,

Que pouvons-nous répondre à cette demande ? Est-ce que tu peux la prendre en charge ? Merci de ton aide précieuse :-) --Zyephyrus (talk) 08:11, 2 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour Zyephyrus,
Cette requête requiert l'utilisation de l'outil de fusion de comptes, qui n'est pas encore disponible (encore en test par les développeurs). Il y a également un petit souci, si l'utilisateur qui possède ces 2 comptes ne se souvient pas de son mot de passe, je pense que la demande de fusion ne pourra pas être acceptée (vu qu'il doit prouver qu'il possède les deux comptes avant de pouvoir les fusionner).

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum(_AT_)wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

WM PL toolserver block

[edit]

Thnks for softenning the block!

BTW, could you hint me any way how can we avoid such accidental blocks in future? Is adding all bots operating from this server the ipblock-extempt right on all projects they are active in the only way? Unfortunately, if the bots are stopped for longer period of time as such a block is not noticed, resetting their maintenance work to the right way is highly time consuming. Ankry (talk) 18:38, 27 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Ankry: I suppose the only way to avoid this accidental block in future is looking at the block log before to block. For very active bots, a global IP Block Exempt can be requested here. Kindely, Linedwell (talk) 19:33, 27 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thx. Local extempts would be enough in theese cases as no bot is highly active on more than 3-4 projects. Unfortunately, MediaWiki:Autoblock_whitelist seems to no longer work (phab:T119758) Ankry (talk) 21:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Confirmation discussions

[edit]

Dear Linedwell,

As you probably know, the confirmation discussions for Stewards have been closed. In order to determine the outcome of these discussions, you are invited to comment on Talk:Stewards/Confirm/2016 before scheduled closure of the confirmation section "one week after the appointment of the newly elected stewards" (Sunday 6th of March, 17:22 UTC), though the closing time might be extended at the ElectCom's discretion for an extra week if it is believed "further input is required before concluding". All stewards are welcome to comment, including those newly elected.

For those who ran for confirmation, consider revising comments regarding you, and replying to those where appropriate. Savhñ 08:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

2016 Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You’re getting this message because you participated in the 2015 Community Wishlist Survey and we want to make sure you don't miss it this year – or at least can make the conscious choice to ignore if it you want to. The 2015 survey decided what the Community Tech team should work on during 2016. It was also the focus of Wikimedia hackathons and work by other developers. You can see the status of wishes from the 2015 wishlist at 2015 Community Wishlist Survey/Results.

The 2016 Community Wishlist Survey is now open for wishes. You can create proposals until November 20.

No renaming between November 20 and November 27

[edit]

Hi,

You’re getting this because you’re a steward or global renamer. The Community Tech team are working on cross-wiki watchlists. We need to add a couple of fields to the localuser table in centralauth database. In order to be able to do this, we’d need to run a script that will get in the way of renaming users. Our apologies – we realize this is getting in the way of your work.

We ask that you do not rename anyone between 00:00 November 20 (UTC) and 00:00 November 27 (UTC).

(UTC means that if you live in the Americas, it will be on the evening or afternoon of November 19 when the script starts running, and if you live in Oceania or eastern Asia, it can be closer midday on November 27 before we can be sure the script is no longer running.)

Phabricator task.

Re: Your administrator status on the mgwiki

Salut,

Merci pour ta notification. Je ne suis effectivement plus actif sur mg:, mais comme la dernière fois, vu qu'il y a très peu d'admins pour plus de 80000 articles, et qu'il est assez facile de me "réveiller", je pensais que ce serait bien que je conserve encore un peu mes droits d'admins là-bas. Je vais en faire la proposition à la communauté locale ; pour info cependant, cette dernière n'avait pas bougé il y a deux ans quand j'avais posé la même question et tes collègues de l'époque m'avaient gentiment laissé continuer à ne rien faire de mes outils :)

SOS

[edit]

Bonjour et permettez-moi de me présenter : je suis Claude Piard, jadis contributeur sous le pseudo de Claude PIARD aujourd’hui quasi-banni dans des conditions pour le moins contestables. Et vous êtes mon ultime recours pour dénoncer des dérives nuisibles in fine à la réputation de Wikepdia. J'ai en effet déjà tenté d'alerter le CAR qui s'est déclaré incompétent puis fais appel récemment aux bureaucrates où mes messages sur leur PdD, revertés dans les délais les plus brefs par Habertrix, n'entrent même plus suite à une prise de contrôle que n'approuverait probablement pas la CNIL. Mais ce genre de manœuvre risquée est bien révélateur en soi de l'urgence qu'il y a pour certain(e)s de "cacher les poussières sous le tapis".

Excusez-moi donc de vous ramener loin en arrière. En novembre 2013 Litlok est intervenu sur la PaS pour TI d’un article consacré à l’ « Attitude des juifs sous le régime nazi » pour suggérer son transfert dans la catégorie Recherche en histoire de Wikiversité, ce que j’ai fait le 6 janvier 2014 non sans provoquer de réactions de Lgd/Alginatus, longtemps sous simple IP.

Deux ans plus tard, en octobre 2016 la fausse manoeuvre d’un collègue et ami qui a rapatrié par erreur les travaux résultant de l'évolution de cet article sur Wikiversité a été prétexte au procès le plus rapide de l’histoire wikipédienne. Un RA pour « désorganisation de l’encyclopédie » initié par Heddryin à mon encontre déposé le 22 octobre à 12 heures 46 a abouti à mon blocage indéfini le 24 octobre à 18 heures 41, sanction prononcée par Lomita – après une large consultation certes – aux motifs allégués de « WP-POINT, meatpuppetry et contournement de décision communautaire », la décision étant appliquée par Starus. Le RA initial a été clos dès le 23 par la même Lomita à 9 heures 33 – soit 15 heures après son ouverture – pour « conflit d’édition » trois minutes exactement après le dépôt de mon argumentaire, la discussion se poursuivant ensuite uniquement sur le BA entre administrateurs où celui-ci est ignoré.

Mes tentatives d’appel au RA puis au CaR sont rapidement éludés avec pour seul effet le blocage de mon IP (2A01:E35:2E8F:19D0:E574:9CCA:1C5C:7825) et l’effacement de ma page présentation ainsi que sa PdD probablement trop compromettantes pour mes détracteurs. Depuis d’épisodiques tentatives de modestes interventions lors d’éphémères déblocages de mon IP se traduisent par son reblocage immédiat par Lomita au seul prétexte du test du canard, empêchant ainsi toute remise en cause de sa décision. Et actuellement ma détermination à faire rétablir l’exactitude des faits me vaut en RA une proposition de bannissement de la part d’Heggesipe. L’IP flottante de mon téléphone me permet néanmoins de porter à votre connaissance cette situation sur laquelle je reste prêt à fournir tous les renseignements complémentaires utiles.

Sysop Removal of access

[edit]

Hello, we have been waiting for sysop removal of access for Xoser of Zazaki Wikipedia since almost a week. Xoser used two sock puppets for local dicussion (Neribij and Kirmanciye) although we stated that Zazaki Wikipedia is so small and a third sysop is needless and so there is a consensus about remove Xoser's sysop access. When will we receive answer? [1] Vuzorg (talk) 18:03, 25 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Question

[edit]

Hi, I wonder did you grant this user a permanent adminship? In my opinion it should be a temporary as the wiki is a new. Regards, Stryn (talk) 16:51, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Stryn: You must be right, I didn't take into account the fact it was a new wiki. How long should this temporary adminship be ? One year ? Linedwell [talk] 17:13, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
I would say 3 months first as there were quite many voters. I also know new wikis where the first adminship was only 1 month, then 3 months, then 6 months and so on... but I think 3 months is a good start. Stryn (talk) 17:15, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Stryn: OK, then I will set it as 3 months. Linedwell [talk] 17:20, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour Linedwell !
Je vous prie de bien vouloir donner votre avis sur la question suivante.
Le 27-07-2017, j'ai envoyé la demande d'autorisation d'importer un extrait de l'interview du réalisateur Dominique Delouche :
Dominique Delouche sur Éric Laborey (le 13-07-2017).pdf

J'ai également joint à cette lettre ma correspondance avec M. Delouche où il donne l'autorisation de publication ce texte sur Wikipédia :
Re_ Éric Laborey (1-5).pdf
Le 30-07-2017, j'ai reçu la lettre de refus
Le critère « travail inédit » ne doit pas être interprété de manière étroite et bureaucratique.
Ce n'est pas une nouvelle théorie ou un concept scientifique. C'est la source primaire que l'auteur accorde exclusivement à Wikipedia. Tout est clair et évident.

Bonjour V2016 une telle interview ne peut malheureusement pas servir de source pour un article sur Wikipédia. En effet, comme indiqué sur cette page, les sources primaires ne peuvent être utilisées que dans des cas très précis surtout si aucune source secondaire ne vient les appuyer.

Help design a new feature to stop harassing emails

[edit]

Hi there,

The Anti-Harassment Tools team plans to start develop of a new feature to allow users to restrict emails from new accounts. This feature will allow an individual user to stop harassing emails from coming through the Special:EmailUser system from abusive sockpuppeting accounts.

We’re inviting you to join the discussion because you have experience dealing with abusive sockpuppeting accounts and you work across many wikis. We think that your insights will help us build a better feature.

You can leave comments on this discussion page or send an email to the Anti-Harassment Tools team.

It is important to hear from a broad range of people who are interested in the design of the tool, so we hope you join the discussion and let us know how it would work best for you.

OS on Wikidata

[edit]

Hello,

Until I resign, Wikidata has its own OS team and requests should be directed to us. Thanks, – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:19, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Ajraddatz: The requester contacted me regarding this point on WD:OS : "In emergencies (e. g. when no local oversighter is available), oversight requests can be referred to the stewards, who can be contacted at stewards at wikimedia.org." Best regards, Linedwell [talk] 15:36, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hi, no oversighter was online on #wikidata, so I contacted Linedwell who was online. Regards. --Thibaut120094 (talk) 15:50, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
We have a mailing list for exactly such purposes. oversight at wikidata.org – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:52, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
This is concerning - more attempts to contact local oversighters apparently should have been made. If you are using the emergency clause (which is really the case for any wiki with local oversighters), that should be clearly indicated in the log, and the oversight action should be particularly time-sensitive (i.e. not just somebody logged out and needing to hide their IP) and not addressable by revdel. Local oversighters should then be notified so that they can review the action. --Rschen7754 00:55, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Rschen7754: You are right, I should have mentioned in the revdel log that the ticket was critical, I thought only the ticket reference would have been enough. Even if I hope this kind of request will not happen anymore, I'll try to remember next time to explicitly specify the emergency of the request. Best regards, Linedwell [talk] 01:09, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
(Edit conflict.) (For the record, Linedwell clarified offline the nature of the emergency and I think that, while it could have been documented better, was a valid judgment call). --Rschen7754 01:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Besoin d'aide

[edit]

Chère Linedwell,
j'ai un souci et apparemment, vous êtes mon dernier recours pour y voir plus clair. Je participe à internationaliser les galeries sur Commons; en début d'année, un problème est survenu sur le fait d'avoir des titres de chapitre au pluriel, personnellement, je pensais qu'ils devaient tous être au singulier (sauf pour les listes). Après quelques discussions, une solution à fini par convenir à tous ex: modèle Maps. J'ai, non seulement, adopté ce type de modèle ex:ici mais commencé à participer à son développement ex:ici.

Mais, après avoir subi une menace violente et incompréhensible, cet Admin me bloque 1 semaine pour ceci (voir ici et l'intro comprise). Je suis allé sur "Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems‎" afin d'obtenir des explications. Je leur laisse le temps de prendre connaissance du problème, mais au bout d'une semaine, le sujet est archivé sans aucune explication. Donc je relance le sujet et soit, on me dit de laisser tomber, soit je reçois des menaces d'utilisateurs non-Admin.

Donc, je retourne sur la page de discussion de la galerie pour pouvoir continuer mes contributions, mais pas de réponse. Attend-t-il une modification de ma part pour me bloquer définitivement? Je ne vois plus que vous pour clarifier la situation avec cet Admin. Merci d'avance pour votre aide. Camulogene77 (talk) 18:20, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Camulogene77: Bonjour, je viens de prendre connaissance des divers échanges sur les pages que vous indiquez. Bien que je comprenne votre contrariété, je pense que le conseil de Christian Ferrer est le plus judicieux (à savoir « faire le dos rond »). Je préciserai également que malheureusement, bien que steward, je ne peux être d'aucune utilité sur Commons qui ne reconnait pas ce statut et sur lequel je suis un simple contributeur (peu actif qui plus est). Cordialement, Linedwell [talk] 06:19, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Camulogene77: Bonjour, comme je suis cité je me permet de commenter. Si les utilisateurs et l'administrateur en question ne répondent pas, c'est parce que j'ai l'impression qu'il est clair pour eux qu'ils vous ont fais suffisement part de leurs points de vues. Il y a apparement un genre de consensus actuel à ne pas utiliser les labels dans les galleries, que cette opinion soit bien fondée ou non, c'est une chose, mais ce n'est pas le problème. Le problème c'est que vous ne pouvez pas aller contre le consensus, surtout dans le cas ou un administratuer vous a avertis. Je vous conseille de passer à autre chose, ou dans le cas ou le sujet vous tiens vraiment à coeur, de continuer à essayer de discuter (meme si il n'y a pas de réponse). Mais en tout cas je vous déconseille de réinstaller ces labels unilatéralement, car j'ai l'impression que cela vous causerai des problèmes, et je ne vous le souhaite pas. De toute façon, dites vous bien que si l'idée est bonne, alors elle ressortira à un moment ou à un autre. L'expression « faire le dos rond » employé ci-dessus par Linedwell est tout à fait appropriée. Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:48, 29 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Demande de blocage global

Bonjour Linedwell, j'aimerais que mon compte principal FrankyLeRoutier soit soit bloqué globalement, j'ai fais deux demandes de requête qui ont été refusées Steward requests/Global#Global lock for FrankyLeRoutier, et donc si vous ne pouvez pas effectuer cette demande, est-ce-que vous connaissez un autre steward qui accepterait de réalisé ma requête, je ne tiens vraiment pas à faire des bêtises pour justifier mon blocage. Merci beaucoup pour votre compréhension à mes problèmes de contributions. Argosy (talk) 03:43, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@FrankyLeRoutier: Bonjour. J'ai bien vu tes deux requêtes mais je ne suis malheureusement pas en mesure de les traiter moi-même. En effet, ton wiki d'origine étant le même que le mien, il m'est impossible en tant que Steward de traiter une requête de ce type. Je te conseille de tenter ta chance avec l'un des autres stewards (non dépendant de frwp) présent sur cette liste ou bien directement en envoyant un mail (en anglais) sur la liste des Stewards : Special:Contact/Stewards. En m'excusant de ne pas pouvoir t'aider davantage, Linedwell [talk] 05:59, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

A Translation Central is available to help translators figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), you can also add others.

Please support the Affiliate-selected Board seats process

[edit]

Hello. You are receiving this message because you are an esteemed Wikimedian translator. The movement needs you! The Nominations phase for the ongoing selection process of two Board members is almost over, so this is probably the last call for translations.

The profiles of the current candidates are the ones that need your attention now. Yes, this may be a slightly different topic than the ones you are used to work on, but this is the final stretch and this process needs all the help it can get.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates, Arabic, French, Russian, and Spanish, help for Chinese, Ukrainian, Bengali, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Farsi, German, Cantonese, Finnish, Hindi, Thai, Dutch, and Greek is also welcome.

A global lock on an account I blocked, but have now unblocked

[edit]

I see that you have globally locked the account Møstbarr following a report at Steward requests/Global. I had earlier blocked the account on English Wikipedia, but I have now received further information which has led me to think I may have been mistaken, so I have unblocked the account. I don't know how much, if at all, my block influenced your decision to globally lock the account, but if your decision was significantly based on my block then you may like to consider whether there is enough evidence without my block to justify the lock, or whether you should lift it.

I write because can't edit in the Wikipedia app, because my IP appears blocked, because my phone IP is included in a list of blocked directions.

J'ai bien compris le problème et effectivement sur la partie du renommage je pourrais aider, en revanche pour assigner une adresse mail à un autre compte, j'ai bien peur que ça ne soit que du ressort de l'équipe technique car les stewards n'ont pas la main là dessus. Cordialement, Linedwell [talk] 13:14, 22 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oui, je ne suis même pas certaine que l'équipe technique puisse en fait. Alors renommons, renommons. Au moins, on est certain que Sarah a la main sur le compte qu'elle a créé aujourd'hui... Anthere (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC).Reply

Regarding an account you locked

[edit]

Special:CentralAuth/Wasserbräuner Wasserbräuner Wasserbräuner is not a spambot but the German LTA Avoided, whose abusive usernames often involve defecation. ~~~~

@1234qwer1234qwer4: Spambot or LTA, its lock was needed as you confirmed. It was locked as a spambot because it was reported as one. Linedwell [talk] 21:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
I was not disputing the lock itself. Looking at Steward requests/Global/2021-07#Global lock for Wasserbräuner Wasserbräuner Wasserbräuner though, it does not appear that the account was reported as a spambot. ~~~~

Local deblock

[edit]

Hi, Could you please enable the syops at sh.wiki to locally deblock Obsuser? We're fully aware of his past transgressions across Wikis and hence ask only for this local deblocking. Also, we pledge to carefully monitor any inappropriate conduct and to sanction it immediately. Obsuser had in the past proved to be a great contributor to sh.wiki, having written a great many articles of substantial value, and we would now like to have him back. If any information/clarification is needed, please let me know. Many thanks in advance. All the best, Igor --Igor Windsor (talk) 22:15, 19 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Note that it is not possible to locally unblock a locked account without lifting the global lock. ~~~~

Please help me with an article on Yiddish Wikipedia

[edit]

@Linedwell Hi, since I have seen that you have a page on Yiddish Wikipedia is possible to create an article there for Hellenic Vehicle Industry (ELVO) on this link: https://yi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%94%D7%A2%D7%9C%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A7_%D7%A4%D7%90%D6%B8%D7%A8%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%98%D7%9C_%D7%90%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%93%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%A2 because I have created it but it was deleted since I used translator. Or you may reach this person: https://yi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%91%D7%90%D6%B7%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%A2%D7%A8_%D7%A8%D7%A2%D7%93%D7%9F:%D7%90%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%92%D7%90%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A2%D7%A8 which you have communicated on talk page which he has edited some car-related pages on Yiddish Wikipedia. I would be so happy if this article would be created on Yiddish Wikipedia.

Hello, I'm sorry but I can't speak yiddish. Linedwell [talk] 16:50, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello

[edit]

Hello, could I have more reason on my IP block? What exactly was the cross-wiki abuse? I do believe the block was genuine, but I have no edits

I didn't even notice the block until now, actually. I don't normally edit wikipedia.

Hello, as I told on the steward request, this block have already been softened to affect only anonymous edits, you can avoid it by creating an account. Regards, Linedwell [talk] 13:05, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
But I can't create accounts, it also blocks me on doing that. And, why was I blocked in the first place? 2001:44C8:4510:4117:1734:4B26:7A3:CBC7 14:16, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
The block wasn't directed at you specifically, but as an IP range used in february for cross wiki vandalism. Linedwell [talk] 18:10, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Anyway, I have unblocked this range, you should now be able to contribute to Wikipedia as expected. Linedwell [talk] 18:21, 29 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. BoxOfNotes (talk) 09:34, 30 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

2017 blacklist entry for ISIL-affiliated domains

[edit]

In response to accusations of legal threats, a user at enwiki asked about the reason that you accepted this addition to the global spam blacklist for a family of ISIS-affiliated websites after this request at frwiki. Was it because of legal concerns, because (as detailed at this enwiki thread for their local spam blacklist) the domains are too short-lived, or simply because there is no encyclopedic value in linking to terrorist-affiliated websites? LaundryPizza03 (talk) 01:53, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

@LaundryPizza03: Hello, if I remember well, the reason why I added those URLs to the global spam blocklist was the risk of global spam / propaganda from those websites. It would have been the same if it was about warez sites or any commercials. Regards, Linedwell [talk] 01:59, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
But these contents are illegal too. Panam2014 (talk) 02:27, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Of course, I just told it wasn't the only reason. Linedwell [talk] 09:18, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
