Global rollback for OJJ

Not ending before 23 December 2016 13:35 UTC

I'm rollbacker on cswiki and skwiki and I sometimes reverting vandalism on enwiki and others; rollback is quicker than revert and a saving work. OJJ (talk) 13:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Support This user helps with fighting with vandalism at various project and rollback can save a few of seconds. Examples [1], [2], [3], [4]. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose. Not enough cross-wiki activity. I suggest that you can join to SWMT, to help in reverts of vandalism in many wikis, especially in small-wiki work. Constant activity on many wikis in reverts is required for GR flag. Thanks for helping. --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 15:23, 18 December 2016 (UTC).
  • @Ks-M9: I do not know, it was not just one of the options? Otherwise, I do not need globall rollback :) but I just thought that the saving work. :) --OJJ (talk) 15:51, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
    • GR flag is used for reverting vandalism across many projects, this tool would be granted if an user must be demonstrably active in cross-wiki countervandalism or anti-spam activities and make heavy use of revert on many wikis, not only for "saving a work", I see that is an insufficient reason to justify the grant of global rollback. Please, re-apply if you are active in reverts in many wikis. --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 17:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC).
• If you want rollback rights on enwiki, please requests them on enwiki. Global rollback is for users who use rollback extensively on many wikis, e. g. as part of their work in the SWMT as outlined above by Ks-M9, not to circumvent certain local flag granting procedures. Kind regards, --Vogone (talk) 17:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

  Note OJJ was denied enwiki rollback access ~2 months ago, but is welcome to reapply when they meet the guidelines. — xaosflux ^Talk 21:02, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not enough experience reverting across language barriers yet. – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:27, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

---

@Ajraddatz, Vogone, and Ks-M9: Rollback is not necessary. I've got a special gadget :). OJJ (talk) 11:54, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Closing as withdrawn. Savh^ñ 12:47, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Global sysop for Shriheeran

Not ending before 2 January 2017 09:29 UTC

Hi! I am from Srilanka and I would like to be a global sysop and want to serve globally--Shriheeran (talk) 09:31, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

•  No. Complete lack of recent activity not active on many wikis and I don't see an experience by yourself as sysop on a project. Little cross-wiki experience. --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 13:17, 19 December 2016 (UTC).

Oppose. Blocked on hawiki for abusing multiple accounts. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

• I can see that you are quite young and you seem to still be growing. If you would like to attain these rights, I'd recommend you join the SWMT team and join the irc channel, #cvn-swm, to revert vandalism wiki-wide. These rights are for those that are in need of it. You don't seem to be showing any kind of need for the global sysop rights. Take the advice given by the users above (and me) in a good way and get active in the fight against vandalism (wiki-wide). --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 18:45, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per above comments. Alvaro Molina (Let's Talk) 02:00, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
• Hi Shriheeran, thanks for volunteering and helping :-). I think that this request won't pass, so I'd recommend to withdraw it for now. You are more than welcome to re-apply for GS once you are more active reverting vandalism/spam and tagging pages for deletion cross-wiki. If you have some doubt about something, please feel free to ask. Matiia (talk) 04:22, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per above 36.253.254.124 11:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per above comments. I'd recommend you join the SWMT team to revert vandalism wiki-wide. DARIO SEVERI (talk) 04:33, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Concerns with limited x-wiki experience -FASTILY 11:25, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Blocked on ha.wikipedia with "Blocked indefinitely. (account creation disabled) Reason: abusing multiple accounts" as reasons.--AldNonymous^Bicara? 15:45, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose —JuniorX2 ^Chat_Hello! 12:18, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per above. --Infinite0694 (Talk) 15:19, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose limited cross wiki experience--Biplab Anand (Talk) 11:50, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose - per this. I have earlier reported this user to Holder and Matiia for disruptive editing at yo:wiki. The indef block at ha:wiki, the disruptive editing at yo:wiki and the request here is a clear indication that this user is WP:NOTHERE. I'll appreciate if any GS can block this user at yo:wiki to prevent further action there. Thank you. Wikicology (talk) 14:02, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

  Just out of curiosity, "WP:NOTHERE" means what? --Vogone (talk) 12:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

  Is a term used on enwiki, mentioned here refers that the user (Shriheeran) is "cleary not here (on Yoruba Wikipedia) to contribute"; I suppose. I do not see that these term is used here on Meta. --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 20:05, 30 December 2016 (UTC).

Yes, Ks-M9 is correct. I recognized that it's not a Meta-community term but most experienced users who edit at en:wiki are familiar with it. Wikicology (talk) 21:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Not done. Early closure because the request isn't succeeding based on the agreement between stewards that early closures of steward requests are acceptable when there's no gain for the candidate in keeping obviously-unsuccessful discussions running. —MarcoAurelio 15:36, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for 逆襲的天邪鬼

I edit pages on zhwiki, enwiki, meta and sometimes on other wikis. I live in mainland China and the en:Great Firewall sometimes blocks SSL connections so I have trouble in accessing without a proxy server. Thanks, --逆襲的天邪鬼 (talk) 05:01, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Tigerzeng

I am a newpage patroller on Chinese Wikipedia(zhwiki). Due to the Great Firewall, I need to use public proxy to edit pages on wikipedia and wikidata. Recently, I'm troubled by a global ip block. I've already been granted a local ip-block exemption on zhwiki. Thanks!--Tigerzeng (talk) 07:56, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Global rename for Pablothepenguin

Global rename for Nahime2015

Hi... I make this request to be able to help those who need to change the username... I am able, therefore I can see if it really is necessary to change the username and I fulfill the minimum requirements... Nahime2015 (talk) 04:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Not ending before 7 January 2017 04:11 UTC

•  Oppose The user does not have advanced permissions (administrator / bureaucrat) in any wiki that can guarantee the trust with the permission of global renamer. Alvaro Molina (Let's Talk) 04:23, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per AlvaroMolina -FASTILY 11:26, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose per above. --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 12:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC).
•  Oppose per above. —JuniorX2 ^Chat_Hello! 12:46, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lack of experience, no crosswiki experience, not an admin-'crat on any wiki, not a rename clerk nor have an experience being a rename clerk on any wiki, with total global edit count of 177.--AldNonymous^Bicara? 15:43, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose I'm sorry to jump on the bandwagon, but unfortunately I don't see much under your belt that convinces me you're ready to be a global renamer. The biggest problem I can see is your lack of involvement with the global rename process, which speaks for itself; global rename is not a "trophy" and it is not something given to all users. You need to demonstrate an actual need for the tool, which you currently do not. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 18:31, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Lack of x-wiki experience, and appears to be currently blocked on their home project (ptwiki) for sockpuppetry. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:13, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Not done. Early closure pursuant the agreement that keeping open steward requests that ain't succeeding is acceptable. —MarcoAurelio 15:34, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Oathauth tester for Mike1901

Hi! As I'm familiar with the concept of 2FA (so unlikely to lock myself out) and work in an environment where several other people use computers I log onto Wikipedia on, it'd be good to be able to trial it as an additional security measure, thanks, --Mike1901 (talk) 09:05, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Abuse filter helper for VasilievVV

I've been working on deploying a new, more efficient parser for abuse filters, and it would be helpful if I could see all of the filters on WMF wikis, and edit them in order to remove some deprecated syntax. vvv^t 20:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

The flag you are requesting won't allow you to edit abuse filters, unfortunately. --Vogone (talk) 20:38, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I missed that. Well, being able to see them would be a good start. vvv^t 20:40, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Where have you been working on these? In a quick log review the only abuse filter activity I'm seeing for you is on ruwiki - where you've made 1 edit filter adjustment in the last 2 years. — xaosflux ^Talk 20:56, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Here and in some of the subsequent git patchsets. vvv^t 00:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

 Support this'll help his work on developing the new, faster, parser. And for those that don't know, vvv is one of the original authors of AbuseFilter itself :) Legoktm (talk) 01:03, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
