This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback , global sysop , global rename , …) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications.

This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.

Global rollback and global interface editor requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion while abuse filter helper and maintainer requests require no fewer than 7 days. Global renamer and global sysop requests require no fewer than 2 weeks of discussion. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

Requests for global rollback permissions

Shortcut:
SRGR
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the Global rollback policy.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (other than requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, no other exceptions are allowed , no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Hello everyone. I fight cross-wiki vandalism using SWViewer, TwinkleGlobal and often the usual undos. I would like request for global rollback permission, so these will help me to combat cross-wiki vandalism more effectively. --Mykola talk 01:40, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Mr. Alice King Tai Poon

Status:    In progress

Dear Wikimedia Foundation Representative,

I am Mr. Alice King Tai Poon, an Internet user from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Since the implementation of the National Security Law in July 2020, We are worrying that our freedom of speech in Hong Kong will be tightened or stifled. Taking the mainland as an example, every comment must be censored. In addition to whether the content we publish is offensive, the censored content also needs to see the face of the CCP. In the mainland, under the current proxying policy, mainland citizens are strictly prohibited from using VPN and secure DNS, which will have a significant impact on their privacy rights, and we believes that on or before July 1, 2047, Hong Kong may implement the Great Firewall Policy, strict network monitoring, by this time, freedom of speech will be going away. In recent years, before the release of each new film, the Hong Kong government, in addition to the film rating system, will also check whether the film does or not comply with the National Security Law. In Hong Kong, new films that do not comply with the Hong Kong National Security Law are not allowed to released.

The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the content published or modified here should have space for freedom of speech and should not be influenced by the government, and you believe that the content published here is completely independent and has absolute authority!

So I will tell you that we have to use VPN and secure DNS for the above reasons. The VPN proxy and secure DNS we use are all made by mine decision after considering and synthesizing the content over the Internet. Our VPN proxy of choice is Windscribe; our secure DNS uses Cloudflare, ControlD by Windscribe, and Mullvad. These VPNs and secure DNS have one thing in common, that is, overseas registered companies are not monitored by the Chinese government and Hong Kong SAR, and they adopt a no-log policy. You may search on Google to lookup their privacy policy. Generally speaking, if The government wants to randomly check the user's Internet records, and the user uses a VPN or a secure DNS or both, and the government department cannot find it. Only one record will be queried, that is, the domain name and IP address of the VPN and secure DNS someone selected, and will not reveal the user's real IP address and location. So as to achieve the purpose of scientific Internet access.

We invite you to apply for unblocking, so that we can freely edit Wikipedia, improve the Wikipedia database, and lead the memory of worldwide people around the world to last forever.,

Thanks,
