Steward requests/Global

edit

Hi, you're the steward who protected the page, so I'm writing to you, even if I don't know exactly whom I should write to about this matter. I've seen that there're requests for global blocks, locks and hiding written days ago, even weeks, the oldest go back to January. Why does no steward take care of them? I'm not saying that the requests must be checked daily, but if this isn't done even weekly something doesn't work properly there, imho. Stewards aren't so few, are they?

Let me add a little off-topic: I've tried writing in your Dutch talk page, because this was empty and you don't come here as often as there, but I couldn't because my ip range was blocked indefinitely. The motivation is that this ip range belongs to a proxy. This is totally false, the ip range is provided by "Telecom Italia Mobile" which is a very big mobile operator in Europe. You can check that none of its ips belong to proxies by checking on IPQS. I don't now why a Dutch sysop could commit such a big mistake, but after reading what I've written I think that you should have understood that it was an error that now should be repaired. Can you do it please?

Dear anonymous user, as I'm an administrator as well on the Dutch Wikipedia too and saw this coming I might reply here too. I looked up what the block reason was exactly and it's this one. This page explains that the entire IP range is used by a mobile operator. As we had a lot of abuse coming from these kinds of networks, editing from them has been blocked. IP's from users from these kinds of networks can change within minutes, which makes anti-vandalism efforts a whack-a-mole game. Therefore I personally don't see this as an issue. The same also advises one to make account from a non-blocked IP, as these blocks won't hit registered users. It's not very likely that the block will be lifted. Kind regards, Wiki13 (talk) 17:43, 10 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Wiki13 I've read your reply. Thank you for explaining. If I'm allowed to speak frankly, is there any other Wikipedia besides Dutch that made such a harsh choice? To me, it looks like a way to take fewer responsibilities by restricting users' rights. Actually, Portuguese Wikipedia has recently abolished completely the possibility to edit without being registered, I suppose for a similar reason. I'm sorry to see that the free encyclopedia, as time passes, is becoming less and less free, imho.

No problem. I don't see it as neccasarily restricting users' rights. The only IP's blocked for an indefinite amount of time are proxies, or networks that are really prone to abused as a sort of semi-proxy (mobile networks have really dynamic IP's so an user can return to vandalizing really quick after a block). We have a No open proxies policy for open proxies. I am aware you could argue with "Non-static IP addresses or hosts that are otherwise not permanent proxies should typically be blocked for a shorter period of time, as it is likely the IP address will eventually be transferred or dynamically reassigned, or the open proxy closed" that dynamic IP's which can change ownershop within minutes shouldn't be blocked, but in the end the local community decides on such cases. If this really hampers your ability to edit, I would suggest emailing info-nl wikimedia.org so that they might be able to help. Kind regards, Wiki13 (talk) 19:47, 10 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Of course, every community inside Wikipedia can give itself its own rules. I think that blocking every ip range including dynamic ip addresses is an excessive measure, but I have no interest in editing Dutch Wikipedia, I only wanted to report a mistake and you told me it wasn't a mistake. Thanks again for your explanation.

Unlock request

edit

May I request you unlock my account? You globally locked it for being a sockpuppet. I apologize for my behavior and I will promise to stick to only one account. I will wait for 6 months on my home Wikipedia because it’s not the right time for me to return. If unlocked, I will edit constructively on other projects for 6 months and wait for 6 months without socking. I will also appeal any other blocks on projects I’m blocked on. I emailed stewards but nobody answered, unfortunately. —34.99.115.120 20:44, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't want to discuss this with you. You could try contacting the English Wikipedia checkusers via UTRS. Trijnsteltalk 09:08, 10 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Overlegpagina spammer?

edit

Dag Trijnstel,

Op WikiWoordenboek worden sinds een week vanaf telkens andere IP-adressen nieuwe Overlegpagina's toegevoegd met onsamenhangende niet-Nederlandse teksten die deels in cyrillisch schrift, deels mogelijk daaruit getranscribeerd zijn geschreven. Hier is een [=newusers lijstje]. Er zitten geen hyperlinks in, maar ik weet niet wat er verder zou gebeuren als we de pagina's lieten staan - ik verwijder ze nu met het argument "niet geschikt voor een woordenboek". Ik weet niet of wij de enige wiki zijn die zich in dit type bijdrage mag verheugen en of er een strategie achter zit die ik niet doorzie, maar het leek me in ieder geval nuttig het onder je aandacht te brengen. Misschien houdt het de komende weken vanzelf weer op, maar dat valt nu niet uit het patroon af te lezen.

Als het aanhoudt, is er mogelijk een filter voor te maken, maar ik ben niet voldoende doorkneed in de techniek om die vanuit scratch zelf te schrijven en de bestaande filters zijn (begrijpelijkerwijs) afgeschermd, zodat de leercurve voor mij nu iets te steil is om het zelf te proberen. --MarcoSwart (talk) 10:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ik heb de de link naar het lijstje bijgewerkt; het wordt gestaag langer. Vandaag kwam er een nieuwe variant bij: het toevoegen van een nieuw kopje aan een bestaande overlegpagina. Het lijkt te gaan om Russisch teksten die deels naar Latijns alfabet zijn omgezet. De teksten worden nu wat begrijpelijker en hebben een duidelijke politieke ondertoon, getuige de tekst op "Overleg: Sovjet-Unie". --MarcoSwart (talk) 11:55, 15 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@MarcoSwart: Het zegt mij vooralsnog niks (als het gaat om bekende spammers). Nu ben ik geen filterdeskundige, maar wellicht dat Lymantria of RonaldB kunnen assisteren? Trijnsteltalk 11:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hallo @MarcoSwart: Ik heb geen rechten op nl.wiktionary, maar een filter dat bijvoorbeeld Cyrillische tekens op een overlegpagina tegenhoudt en het IP voor korte tijd blokkeert moet tot de mogelijkheden behoren. Ik zag wel dat er geen enkel filter actief is. Lymantria (talk) 16:53, 21 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Dag @Lymantria:, dank voor je reactie. We hadden tot op heden genoeg aan de zwarte lijsten van links en de globale filters op bewerkingen. De steile leercurve die ik hierboven noem is vermoedelijk de reden waarom we nog geen eigen filters hebben. Maar ja, de gestage groei die we doormaken doet zich ook bij de ongein voor. Wat we zouden willen tegenhouden zijn bijdragen op overlegpagina's die afkomstig zijn van IP-adressen en in meerderheid uit cyrillische tekens bestaan. Ik kan niet goed beoordelen hoe ingewikkeld dat laatste technisch is, maar het is voor een woordenboek wel handig als in overleg enig cyrillisch schrift mogelijk blijft. Als je mij een voorbeeld van zo'n soort filter kan bezorgen (liefst met wat commentaar in de tekst) ga ik er graag mee aan de slag. --MarcoSwart (talk) 21:37, 21 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
Ik ga daar voor je aan werken, maar wel even geduld (vrij druk IRL) en ik weet niet zeker of wat je wilt ook precies kan. Lymantria (talk) 05:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Female stewards

Apparently TNT, who was a steward for one, is a female. So you actually had 2 for a period in 2019 before TNT went radio silent in the confirmations. Leaderboard (talk) 16:50, 17 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Cree Wikipedia

edit

He, Trijnstel. Kun jij hier als steward naar kijken? De Cree Wikipedia krijgt het kennelijk niet zelf voor elkaar dit geteisem te blokkeren. We kregen een melding op en.wiki, maar de mods daar kunnen er niets mee.

"Obvious troll is obvious. Blatant spamming of the Cree wikipedia. Several pages such as [[1]], [[2]], [[3]] etc urgently need to be cleaned from the Cree subwiki. There is rampant vandalism and I believe it will take more than one person to help this situation. JezzaHehn (talk) 15:47, 21 August 2021 (UTC)"Reply

Hasley heeft het uitstekend opgelost. Ik ontving een juichend bedankje, dus men is zwaar tevreden en daarmee ben ik het ook. Hasley, als je dit leest, mag Trijnstel de vertaalde complimenten doorgeven. Alles prima aan deze kant. Kleuske (talk) 07:34, 23 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

SRG archives

edit

Hello, hope you are well and stay safe. Seeing you had manually archive, would it be more suitable to go to the weekly archive Steward requests/Global/2021-w43 as nowadays we do by week archives. Best, Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:47, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Camouflaged Mirage: Ah, good to know. Shouldn't we also change the links to the archives, then? I mean, in the upper right of SRG there's a link to the monthly archive - which I followed. Perhaps we should adjust the script so that it uses the links to the weekly archives, then? In any case, I'll move these requests to the other archive. Trijnsteltalk 13:30, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it should. Let me figure out how to change that as my script knowledge is quite minimal. It's confusing indeed. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:32, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Trijnstel, when I just looked at your userpage I noticed the irc link still links to freenode, because its manually done instead of via the template. As we've fully moved on from freenode would it make sense to update it to point to irc://irc.libera.chat/wikimedia-stewards or to convert the raw link to using {{channel}}, which also includes a convenient link to the webchat?
