Requests for global (un)lock and (un)hiding
Note that global blocking currently only applies to IPs, due to a technical limitation. If you wish to request a named account for global [un]locking, please request a global [un]lock here instead. Be sure to follow the instructions below:
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.

Global lock for Won1017

Cross-wiki abuse. Already blocked from 5 wikis by vandalism and abusing, and continuing block evasion at kowiki. No more mercy, enough for global lock. LR0725 ( Talk / Contribs ) 16:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, the main reason why I wanted to check was because the kowiki steward in question declined a request for global lock of this user the first time to give them an ultimatum, and also because this seems to be a young user who doesn't seem to be too aware of what they are doing. EPIC (talk) 18:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- In kowiki, I and other admins have given many opportunities. Although he is young, it is no use to show him mercy anymore. He already made about 100(or more) accounts while saying, "I will not make sock puppets anymore" for several times, not only q:ko:사용자토론:Whitetiger#사과의_말씀과_함께_모든_진실을_밝힙니다 case.

- @LR0725: has there been abuse outside of kowiki after they got an ultimatum? EPIC (talk) 06:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- After an ultimantum from Sotiale, they made so many sock accounts at kowiki (as confessed themselves).
- But, ok, no firm evidence for abuse outside the kowiki. However, why should we just always allow this kind of malicious behaviors? Because they are kid? They make sock accounts every day, personal attacking, and vandalism. And next day, they come and say, "I am sorry I won't do it ever plz don't global lock me". And then, same pattern every day.
- All Korean wiki community is just being tired by that system-challenging user. Why should we hesitate? LR0725 ( Talk / Contribs ) 07:21, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- After the original account email was blocked, he routinely conducted terrorism through e-mails using socks accounts and tested the limit of patience through multiple accounts every time. He is the one who gave up the opportunity even though most of the sysops of kowiki executed and controlled his blocking, even though they gave him several opportunities. It is no longer evidence clear that he is "young." How many users should be harmed and personally blasphemed for it? How many users have to go beyond their patience? ㅡ Joayong (Suggest) 08:29, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- @EPIC Not outside the Korean wikimedia project, but he also made other sock puppets in Korean Wiktionary and Korean Wikiquote, which are not blocked as they are not linked to Korean Wikipedia and other. --Whitetiger (talk) 08:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment I don't have a strong opinion against locking them. This is because they may come to different conclusions depending on their perspective, and I do not expect their behavior to improve in the short term. However, there are a few things that need to be clarified; most of the above opinions focus on local affairs, so it is important to understand exactly what the questions asked by stewards about global lock mean. It is quite clear that for global locks to apply, the damage they cause must be cross-wiki. As I understand it, EPIC is asking you to provide a clear rationale. You tend to argue that global locks can be guaranteed because of kowiki local abusing. There are continuous local LTA cases that occur every day in many local areas, even more serious than those, even personal attacks, but this is not handled as a global lock. This is because it is a local difficulty and not a global difficulty, and that is a serious misunderstanding of global lock. Therefore, there is no point in claiming local affairs difficulties so that you can lock their account. So, as to why they should be locked, you have to prove that they caused cross-wiki problem, and any other circumstances are meaningless. Tl;dr: multiple kowiki admins asserting local affairs will not have a positive impact on this request(as this increases the likelihood that this will look like a local problem to other users), so it is recommended that you focus your justification on their cross-wiki abusing. Eg. concretizing what Whitetiger presented, it is necessary to explain in detail how this is cross-wiki abuse and how it is related. --Sotiale (talk) 09:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- He avoided kowiki's user talk block by using wikiquote - see what I linked above - and pretending as a normal user in Korean wiktionary and wikiquote while creating numerous sock puppets in wikipedia. He also requested to meta admins to be unblocked in kowiki during that period. If it is not a cross-wiki abuse just because the projects are using the same language, then all projects using Korean(+meta) should block his account(and lots of other sock puppets, if necessary) manualy. I don't think that's a good idea. --Whitetiger (talk) 11:41, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
This has been sitting open for some time, mainly because I had forgotten about it. With that said, this case is a little more unclear since most of the recent abuse has been at kowiki, but given the clarification by Whitetiger above as well as the previous cross-wiki abuse, I would say this is roughly sufficient to lock for cross-wiki abuse, so ultimately Done.

Spam / spambot. Estrellato (talk) 22:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- This looks like regular local spam, is this part of some cross-wiki spam campaign or just average local spam? Spam is generally only lockable when it's cross-wiki or a spambot, and we generally don't lock one-wiki spam especially when it appears to be from a human (which it seems to be because they submitted an unblock request locally). EPIC (talk) 00:48, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- It seemed like AI to me, which I consider a spambot. I guess a gblock isn't really that necessary but they do exist in Norway and Denmark as well and if they start targeting those wikis then it's a problem. Estrellato (talk) 00:54, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
