Steward requests/Global

This page hosts requests for global (un)blocks, (un)locks and hidings.

For global IP or account block requests, read the guideline and make a request below under Requests for global (un)block. Indicate why a global block is necessary and for how long.
For account lock requests, read the guideline and post under Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding. Note that temporary accounts can't be locked, in this case please request a global block.
For local requests here on Meta, see Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat.

If you are here because you have been affected by a global block, please see Global blocks/FAQ for more information about global block and routes to appeal.

Note: (un)blocks apply to IP addresses or accounts; and (un)locks apply to global accounts (except temporary accounts).

Requests for global (un)block

Latest comment: 3 hours ago8 comments7 people in discussion

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.

Please also review Global blocking.

Global blocks don't affect Meta-Wiki, so if your IP address or account is blocked, you can still appeal here. IP addresses or accounts that cause disruption on Meta should be reported at Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat instead of here so that they can be blocked locally.

Please describe the kind of cross wiki abusive activity you see from the IP or account. Saying an IP or account is a long term abuser is not helpful, but saying "IP vandalizes at ban.wikipedia, no.wikipedia and vi.wikipedia" is. This is especially important for range blocks. If you do not provide enough details, your request might be declined.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

You know the IP address(es) or accounts you wish to have globally blocked or unblocked.
For blocks, the global blocking criteria are met.
For unblocks, your request addresses the original reason for blocking the IP or account, if any.

To make a request for the address(es) or account(s) to be blocked or unblocked

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why the address(es) or account(s) should be blocked/unblocked.

=== Global block/unblock for [[Special:Contributions/Some IP address or account|Some IP address or account]] ===
{{Status}} <!-- Do not remove this template -->
* {{Luxotool|IP address/username}}
Description, evidence, diffs, etc. --~~~~

When requesting that your IP be unblocked, note that stewards need to know your IP address to even consider a request.: To find your IP, please visit https://www.whatismyip.com/; You are not required to disclose your IP in public - you may make requests privately to any steward on IRC or by email at: stewardswikimediaorg

Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding

Latest comment: 16 minutes ago51 comments27 people in discussion

Be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if it doesn't include the necessary information.
Warning! This page is publicly viewable. If the account name is grossly insulting or contains personal information please contact a steward privately in #wikimedia-stewards^connect or email your request to the stewards VRT queue at stewards-oversightwikimediaorg (direct wiki interface) but do not post it here. Thanks.
Warning! This is not the place to ask for locks based on your opinion that someone is disruptive. Global locks are used exclusively against vandalism and spam, not because of content disputes, not because you think that someone deserves to be globally blocked. In such cases, you should ask for local blocks at appropriate places.
If you are globally locked, you should appeal your lock to stewards-appealswikimediaorg.

Please describe abusive activity of an account before reporting them here. Since stewards are often not active at projects the reported accounts are, things that seem obvious to you may not be equally obvious to the reviewing steward.

Temporary accounts (those with username format ~20##-#####) can not be globally locked. See #Requests_for_global_(un)block instead for them.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting that a global account be (un)locked, please be sure that:

You have evidence of cross-wiki disruption from the account(s).
You can show that it is not feasible to use local-only blocks or other measures like page protection to combat the disruption.
You have considered making the request in #wikimedia-stewards^connect, especially for account names which will be hidden, or for urgent requests.

To make a request for an account to be locked or unlocked: Copy one of the codes below to the bottom of this section and explain why the account(s) should be locked/unlocked.

=== Global lock/unlock for Foo ===
{{status}} <!-- do not remove this template -->
* {{LockHide|username}}

Suggested global lock for Masood Masjoody

Status: In progress

Masood Masjoody (talk • contribs • block • xwiki-contribs • xwiki-date ^{(alt • mw)} • CA • gblock • ST • SC • lwcheckuser)

Likely deceased editor (or w:WP:REALNAME violation). There is a single-edit (March 2025) user, User:Masood Masjoody, whose eponymous real-life counterpart was murdered in March 2026 (The Iranian Royalists' Thuggish Edge (Q139718149), The Guardian, CTVNews). There is a COI tag warning that the person, possibly Masjoody or else someone pretending to be him, added the main text in the Twitter lawsuits list article in the section on Masjoody's lawsuits: w:list of lawsuits involving X Corp.#Defamation and conspiracy cases in Canada by Masood Masjoody. Given the info that we do have about the real person, it does sound credible that he was the actual one-time editor. It would likely be reasonable to lock the account: if the editor was not him, then the account should be locked per w:WP:REALNAME; if the editor was him, then it ~~should be locked because he's deceased~~. Boud (talk) 00:29, 11 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I re-read w:WP:DWGA. In the case that the editor was actually Masjoody, the lack of new edits is a lack of evidence of the account having been compromised; however, it's a case where extra security is likely justified: whether he was killed by w:Reza Pahlavi supporters or by the IRGC, if he wrote down his password on a Microsoft OS or a non-FOSS mobile phone, then there do exist at least two types of actors (non-state and state) with motivations for abuse of the account who may have found that password. So that probably does justify locking. Boud (talk) 08:53, 12 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I don’t see a reason to take global action. There is no evidence of account compromise (the account has been inactive for more than a year) and there is also no evidence that the account belongs to a dead person (it’s not uncommon for COI accounts to be named after an article subject even if someone else is operating the account). We should decline this request imo as long as local admins don’t come to a different conclusion. Johannnes89 (talk) 14:22, 16 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I wasn't aware that it's common for COI accounts named after the subject to be actually run by someone else. I guess that if the account starts being used again, especially in a damaging way, then people will quickly notice that and then the case can be handled on enwiki.
