hello! i'm trying to make my global user page, but it's telling me that my page has automatically been detected as harmful (specifically with the rule Global "ntsamr"-pattern spambot filter)-- did i do something wrong, or am i just being flagged on accident? thanks!

Patroller

Hello, can an admin please give me patroller rights? I’ve been watching out for Meta RC feed and would like to mark edits as patrolled as well to decrease the workload on other patrollers. I have read appropriate policies and been a patroller on wikis elsewhere A09|(pogovor) 00:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Done – thank you for volunteering! --SHB2000 (t • c) 00:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Request for help in connection with information about efforts to hack my account

Hello. I received two emails - one on December 21 and another on December 24 about multiple failed attempts to log into Wikipedia as Hindustanilanguage (my username). It is strange that someone wants to impersonate me in the Wikiworld. As I am being targetted repeatedly, I would like to know the geographic location and/or IP address from where this mischief is being carried so that I can be more alert. Thank you. --Muzammil (talk) 06:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Hindustanilanguage, have you changed your password to a new and safer version? You could also think about activating 2FA for way more security. TenWhile6 09:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done due to our privacy policy information about network sources of account is not able to be disclosed. Some steps you can do:

1. Ensure you have a strong, unique password on your account
2. Ensure your recovery email is strongly secured, using multi-factor authentication if available
3. Consider enrolling in our multi-factor authentication system. (see Steward requests/Global permissions#Requests for 2 Factor Auth tester permissions
4. If the notifications are annoying you, you can suppress them in your prefernces.

Request for the patroller right

Hello, everyone.

Today, I am requesting the patroller user right; this will allow me to revert vandalism and other disruptive edits much faster. I am familiar with the patroller policy here and some rollback policies on other projects where I have the rollback right. I did a previous request, but I had to withdraw it as I might have been inexperienced at the time. I had a relevant discussion about the patroller user right with a user here.

As for the ability to mark others' edits as patrolled, I will try not to abuse the patroller right by repeatedly marking bad edits as patrolled, and using the rollback function to edit war or to gain the upper hand in content disputes.

Thank you for your consideration.TYPEINFO (talk) 08:39, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I hate to do this, but I'm going to say no to this (thus Not done). I was initially indifferent – you have rb on enwiki, so trust isn't a huge issue here. But then I saw User talk:Bhairava7#c-TypeInfo-20250104073600-Something about requesting the patroller right, and I don't know if that's supposed to be a request asking for help or a genuine request for patroller perms, but if it's the latter, I do not feel comfortable granting perms to someone who doesn't understand how perms are assigned (I'm gonna be fully honest,the way it's phrased indicates the latter to me). Additionally, I've only seen 2 reverts on Meta-Wiki in the last 12 months too – that is way too few to be able to make a solid judgment. Please don't be discouraged (I'm well aware having two failed requests of the same permission can be frustrating at best) and do rerequest once you've addressed all the possible concerns have been addressed and have a sufficient need for patroller perms. --SHB (t • c) 10:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Crosswiki?

I have no evidence of crosswiki, but I think they deserve being checked, since they are a vicious vandal and prolific sockpuppeteer at en.wiki. I would be highly amazed if they confined their vandalism campaign to only one wiki.

See for details w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Valen2929.

Thanks. Tgeorgescu (talk) 01:15, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Update: the IP range has been blocked for socking, on behavioral grounds, at en.wiki. So, it's not like I'm speaking nonsense. Tgeorgescu (talk) 03:39, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

No one claimed you were speaking nonsense either. With that being said, I'm going ahead and closing this. It's not clear what you are requesting - from reading your initial post I assume you are either requesting CheckUser or a global block, though in either case, Meta admins cannot do anything about either of those.
