Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

Archives (current)→

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis.

Elizium23's abandoned account

Greetings, Wikimedians:

Elizium23 has been chastened and chagrined because that volunteering on enwiki wasn't as constructive as we'd hoped.

Elizium23 wrote to Stewards; '' Re: [Ticket#2024072510011731] Self-requested global block (from Elizium23 at 2600:8800:1ea4:d200:33c7:7bf6:d08c:28a0) '' ; "Shaemous Flocks" privately suggested a password scramble and account abandonment, which instructions Elizium23 promptly followed. Recovery by Elizium23 should be virtually "unpossible".

Elizium23 is indef-blocked on enwiki, and on English Wiktionary. Ok standing elsewiki, such as Commons and Wiki data.

Robert has been mulling over creation of a new CentralAuth account. Robert is in ok standing on all except 2.projects. Robert believes.that editing from an account is preferable to the semi-stable Arizona Cox IPv6 ranges. If/whenever Robert creates a fresh account, y'all should be notified, necessarily reblock his new accounts elsewiki, and (ChuckEntz at Wiktionary knows the case.)

Robert should/shall determine and post on an appropriate board at Meta, and Wiktionary as well; this WP:AN story is our first step out of the shadows. Plural pronouns correspond to Robert/Elizium23/eleison23 only: a solitary human entity. We prefer "they" or "he/him". Robert has composed & posted this message on behalf of his Elizium23 persona. Robert is holding on to a Committed Identity file locally here, https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Elizium23&diff=prev&oldid=25554040 previously uploaded by Elizium23 to his Meta userpage. 2600:8800:1E9C:8200:2002:684:3E14:ED7F 09:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Not done Nothing here to be done on Meta-Wiki specifically. Elizium23 is not blocked on Meta. --SHB2000 (t • c) 01:38, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
