Re: Wiki selection dropdown

You're right. It looks like the table with the meta information about the wikis isn't functional right now. I reopened this bug, the roots should fix it soon. ---Pietrodn · talk with me 06:55, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

The problem is now solved. Thank you for telling me about it. :) --Pietrodn · talk with me 11:42, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello! Will you look, please, at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/37.144.145.16 This seems to be destructive bot. What do you think about it? How to deal with it? Domitori (talk) 04:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Can be consider as a bot or user who want to delete sth. All I can advice to you is contact with local admins, but I saw you already did it. Since I am not a sysop at commons, I can't help you in that case. Einsbor (talk) 14:45, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

There is also similar case at the Russian version of wikisource. Texts by the following authors are removed:

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

Could you, please, handle the case, or, at least, give an advice, how to deal with it? Domitori (talk) 13:16, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

an admin blocked another admin illegally

hi Einsbor!

as an admin my IP is blocked by an irresponsible admin Mr Khangul just for the reason i have allowed and unblocked a user who is hard working, keen to develop, contribute in pashto wiki. see this for his countributions: Usman khan's contributions

plz have a look to his work. if you think that he (Usmankhan) deserved to be blocked by Khangul. and for restoring (Usmankhan) was that against the rule of wiki, or i have done something wrong for which Khangul (an admin like me) blocked me from wiki and deleted my pages where i have requested for bureaucrat.

plz take this matter serious and solve the prob which khangul create day by day to new users, and now for admins as well.

you will note that pashto wiki contribution is zero now a day due to khangul's behaviors with users.

best regards

note: my nomination page is also deleted by him. khangul deleted my nomination page for bureaucratship. its against wiki norms and laws.

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December

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 (gvarnumwikimedia.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

Removal of Ebrahim's admin rights on Wikidata

Hello Einsbor!

This is now the third attempt to make you respond, and I hope you will do so now. I am in a very uncomfortable situation now since Ebrahim already complained to me he could not even maintain his own gadgets on the wiki in concern, anymore. I don't feel comfortable just overruling you either and giving him this day to perform this action allowing him to keep his flag, and I can't predict how the community would react to this either. I kindly ask you to think of a solution for this problem.

Confirmation discussions

Dear Einsbor,

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. Savh^ñ 08:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

No renaming between November 20 and November 27

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.

If there are any problems related to this, or you have any questions, please write me on my talk page. /Johan (WMF) (talk) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

SOS

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. A cette fin, et faute d'autres moyens, mon adresse e-mail était accessible via mon ancienne page Claude PIARD. Celle-ci est certes effacée et je suppose que vous avez les outils nécessaires pour la ré-ouvrir. Néanmoins je me permets de vous la confirmer : [email protected] Merci d’avoir pris le temps de me lire et bonne semaine. Envoyé depuis une adresse flottante, faute de pouvoir le faire plus régulièrement.--37.166.90.99 16:15, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Je découvre que ma connexion n'est pas bloquée sur Meta-Wiki et vous confirme donc totalement ce qui précède.--Claude PIARD (talk) 16:41, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Cette version archivée avant effacement de ma page de discussion confirme et explicite ce qui précède. Elle démontre également que j’ai épuisé tous les recours avant de vous solliciter. Sans résultats autre que provoquer une demande de bannissement. Indifférence générale ? Complot ? Quoiqu’il en soit le remplacement du respect des principes fondateurs et des recommandations écrites par le concept de « décision communautaire » ( i.e. « au soviet ») a de quoi inquiéter pour l’avenir de Wikipédia francophone--Claude PIARD (talk) 09:37, 20 April 2017 (UTC).

Help design a new feature to stop harassing emails

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.

For the Anti-Harassment Tools team SPoore (WMF), Community Advocate, Community health initiative (talk) 21:50, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

14.0.0.0/16

Hello Einsbor. A Cantonese Wikipedia editor has contacted me off-wiki that he has been blocked. On further inspection, he's blocked due to collateral damage from your block of 14.0.0.0/16. This has locked out many ISPs in the Asia-Pacific region, notably PCCW in Hong Kong. Would you please reduce the block to a smaller set of /24 ranges, and/or soften the block to allow autoconfirmed users to edit from this range? Deryck C. 18:21, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

@Deryck Chan:, the block expires today, I soften it, so people logged in can edit. einsbor _talk 05:36, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

A question

Hello, Einsbor. I hope you are good. Here you have given 2 weeks to remove the rights for this user. For years, I have seen that the stewards give for a month to remove for users' rights. In this message you send to the user, it says that rights will be removed after 1 month. Shouldn't you change this date from February 6 to February 23 on AAR Data?

Only I thought why it happened like that. You're welcome. --Uncitoyen^talk 09:39, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Einsbor. Firstly, thank you for your effort. Here I understand that according to your comment you won't remove it. You marked it as done but it doesn't appear in the user rights log. You should probably mark it as not done. For your information. Regards. --Uncitoyen^talk 12:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

@Unicitoyen: I belive you're talking about the previous edit ([1]). In such case I consider done as solved, but right, I shall make it undone. einsbor _talk 12:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Alaa and Marco probably mark for a wiki as not done if they can't removed all rights in this list (eg. cebwiki). So I ask you. Thanks :) --Uncitoyen^talk 13:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Bonsoir, c’est Noah Sokolowski. Je suis disparu de tous les wikis et mon compte est verrouillé globalement. Je suis désormais en contribution sous IP. Normalement quand un utilisateur disparaît, on devrait avoir "Nom d’utilisateur retiré" (exemple ici) mais le problème c’est que mon nom d’utilisateur ne disparaît pas et mon compte est bloqué en écriture. Est ce que vous pouvez demander à l’administrateur Jules* de débloquer mon compte pour résoudre le bug et en précisant que mon compte est verrouillé globalement et que je ne peux plus contribuer ?

Lingua Libre Bot on Occitan Wiktionary : request bot status

Hello Einsbor, we have a small issue on a lesser active wiktionary. Our request for bot status (oc:wikt:Wikiccionari:Demandas_als_administrators#Lingua_Libre_Bot) is awaiting for more than a year without bureaucrat to approve it.

Yug (talk) 08:20, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Yug. Since the Occitan Wiktionary does not have local bureaucrats you shall post your request at Steward requests/Bot status. Einsbor is sadly not a steward anymore and therefore he won't be able to assist with this. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 08:41, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
