Unauthorized photograph of personal residence on the Roy Klotz site

I am requesting that the photograph of my home be removed from the Jerrye and Roy Klotz site, it is a very deceptive photograph and people are mistaking it for the John Stovall historic site and I am having a lot of individuals trespassing on my property thinking it is a HISTORIC site. Klotz had no authority to post or publish a photograph of my home and I am having a lot of problems because of it. If it is not removed I will take legal action, no matter the cost. its a miss representation and if people don't look at the caption at the bottom of the photograph they believe what they google or pull up on the KLOTZ site. This is FRAUD!!! and its a safety risk to my family--Ffoster55 (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

We could maybe help with a rename, but I'm genuinely confused which house we're talking about. File:HARSHAW-STOVALL HOUSE, WHITE COUNTY, GA.jpg (Harshaw-Stovall house) is a country inn and restaurant according to the description. File:JOHN STOVALL HOUSE, WHITE COUNTY ,GA.jpg is the John Stovall House.. seen from the back. On https://www.stovallhouse.com/ (John Stovall house, also an inn) I found https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c8f0d6_6aa1479e855b4f8e9c0b699f54cc8cf1~mv2.jpg (the background image) and yeah, it's practically identical to the Harshaw-Stovall house. @Ffoster55: if I were you, I'd put up some signs around the house saying "The John Stovall house is that way →". - Alexis Jazz ping plz 14:28, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Global Lock Inquiry

Hi! Why my account is globally locked and what is required to get the lock lifted?

--NikitaSadkov — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.193.98.117 (talk) 21:57, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

See m:Special:CentralAuth/NikitaSadkov. Per the notice at the top of m:Steward requests/Global you may appeal via email to stewards@wikimedia.org. No one here can affect global locks at all. I'll be blocking this IP now as global locks apply to the person. So editing via IP is considered evasion. --Majora (talk) 22:06, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
@NikitaSadkov: See also m:Steward requests/Global/2019-04#Global lock for NikitaSadkov. Posting to m:Talk:Steward requests/Global is discouraged. Please avoid all other edits until your lock is lifted.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 22:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

From what I can tell the information above is wrong, this page reads "This list does not include accounts that have been globally locked on charges of cross wiki disruption, spamming, or vandalism. Such users are not globally banned, per se. If they create new accounts and are not disruptive with those accounts, they will not be locked again merely because it is discovered that they were previously globally locked." so "global lock evasion" is a bad reason to block someone locally if they have never done anything wrong on Wikimedia Commons and aren't disrupting this website. What ever happened to autonomy of Wikimedia projects or are stewards now the final arbiters of who gets allowed to edit? I don't see why this IP should be blocked here, global bans apply to the person, global locks to the account, at least that is what the policy pages say. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 10:08, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

The image on File:Wikimedia Hackathon Prague 2019 - Group Photo - CLK - cropped.jpg is used on mw:MediaWiki and this seems to be inspiring lots of anon vandalism to the page.

Are we also supposed to protect File: REO (cropped)(cropped).jpg etc. etc.?

That warning would only be relevant if the Croptool knows something can't be written to. Else they won't get a warning until after they try to upload it and the warning should just be the standard {{Protectedpagetext/UploadProtected}}. Not anything specific (and that warning just says to use a different name). Lets find out what happens... --Majora (talk) 21:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Croptool reports "Upload failed! [api] Received error: protectedpage : This page has been protected to prevent editing or other actions." This would still serve as a hint to croppers. I wonder if it's possible to hide the croptool link with a template. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 22:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) Ok. Well that isn't as bad as I thought it might be but not exactly informative either. Croptool does show an api error. Specifically, Upload failed! [api] Received error: protectedpage : This page has been protected to prevent editing or other actions. which is better than nothing. Doesn't really tell you why, a log entry would have been ideal, but it was better than expected. Mkay. The consensus at AN is clearly to do something about these images and this seems much more reasonable now that I know it was for croptool purposes. --Majora (talk) 22:07, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz: There are a couple of other images not uploaded by Nightshooter but by the same person. Are we also doing those? Special:Search/insource:"Larry Philpot" --Majora (talk) 22:24, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
@Majora: good catch! File:Willie Nelson at Farm Aid 2009.jpg is from Flickr, uploaded in 2011 where the Nightshooter files were uploaded in 2013. It doesn't appear to have any suggested kind of attribution. File:Randy Travis 2.jpg is a low resolution duplicate of File:Randy Travis performs at the dedication of the Johnny Cash postage stamp, June 5, 2013.jpg. The latter had a watermark, but considering the bar I just added, who cares. Have to look at the others. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 23:49, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
@Majora: I also added an attribution bar to File:Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg. Couldn't copy any of the existing ones because Mr. Philpot has a new website. There's also a crop of the Willie Nelson photo from Flickr and File:Tom Petty 2.jpg came in through OTRS, I asked about that one. That's all of them. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 00:20, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz: were you going to redo the bar for the Kathy Griffin image? I've left it unlocked for now but let me know either way. Thanks. --Majora (talk) 23:55, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
@Majora: is there something wrong with it? I thought it was ok. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 00:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
You reverted yourself since the license on that particular image is CC BY 3.0 not CC BY-SA 3.0. So the bar you originally put on was incorrect. I actually deleted the incorrect version to avoid any issues in the future but the Kathy Griffin image is missing a warning bar now. --Majora (talk) 00:14, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Oh that was odd. My cache was still displaying the old image. Rendering was wrong on my end. Ctrl+F5 fixed it. Sorry bout that. Protecting now. --Majora (talk) 00:16, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
@Majora: No problem, now I understand. Larry also required specific attribution for File:Tom Petty 2.jpg so that has an attribution bar now as well and should be protected from overwriting. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:12, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Sockpuppeeter and its sock

Hello there. Just above this thread there is another by user Historiadormundo, who is claiming to be harassed by me. That might be true, but the thing is that he is a sockpuppeeter, blocked in the Spanish Wikipedia, and who has also used his sock Blancalu79 to deceive the Commons community. Spanish Wikipedia admin and CU Bernard said that these accounts are socks and "I have to recognize there is a great effort not to link both accounts, until errors are committed". Here, in Commons, Blancalu79 has attempted to vote on a Deletion request regarding one of Historiadormundo's files [7]. Although most of their edits date over four years ago, I think both accounts should be blocked preemptively, specially since Historiadormundo's attitude continues to be rude and unconstructive. --Cuatro Remos (nütramyen) 17:42, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I have tagged both accounts accordingly. --Cuatro Remos (nütramyen) 17:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Furthermore, Historiadormundo was blocked indefinitely in 2014, until September 2015, when Alan decided to give them a "second and last chance". He was later blocked for doxing. It is completely clear that Historiador has continued to fail to abide Commons policies, and instead, decided to deceive the community. --Cuatro Remos (nütramyen) 18:02, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Estimado Diego, no soy un títere de nadie. Vamos por un café para que me dejes en paz de una buena vez. Realmente agotador tu actuar (me siento bastante acosada por ti) y no entiendo tu afán. Cuando quieras nos encontramos. Saludos!--Blancalu79 (talk) 21:13, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Stop pretending to be a woman, Historiador. It has been settled this Blancalu79 account is yours, despite "great efforts". Hopefully an admin will close this case for once and for all. --Cuatro Remos (nütramyen) 21:16, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
In addition, Blancalu79 has gone on to make several pointless comments on their user page. [8] One of them reads, "Hey [my real name; some admin may please remove them as doxing], just let me know, do you have a job? Do you have a stable job? I do. [...]". --Cuatro Remos (nütramyen) 23:10, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Bmxracerx - repeated copyvio uploads and permission problems

The user claims this file has been taken by them "in Los Angeles, August 2019", whereas the EXIF contains generation data from May and June 2016. I am no expert for technical image questions or EXIF data, but this seems almost impossible and an intentional falsehood. Usually I would just speedy-nominate the file, but the user has been repeatedly uploading files with invalid permissions and has been repeatedly asked to use OTRS if needed. Could an admin please check the data situation and the user's history? GermanJoe (talk) 04:48, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Camera clocks can be set incorrectly, but one wonders how Bmxracerx would explain that a photo supposedly created in August 2019 could appear elsewhere in 2018 or even 2016. I think they might find they'll need a fire extinguisher for their pants. —LX (talk, contribs) 09:03, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

  •  Comment: The photos you consider copyvio are from Flickr. It may be more appropriate to disable Flickr transfer tools. And these photos were uploaded 2 years ago. Otherwise, I upload an author photo. If you want to block me - nice, but I'll stop uploading my photos and terminate the most successful GLAM cooperation in Bulgaria - with the Bulgarian Archive State Agency. If this is your mission, welcome. It's difficult for me to participate in this discussion, because I'm not at home. All the best!--Spasimir (talk) 06:48, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment: Спасимир / Spasimir is one of the most prominent Wikimedians from Bulgaria, and the backbone of all the GLAM cooperations and photo contests in the country. I feel that there is some misunderstanding in this report, and I'd really appreciate more information on the case, because from his recent list of uploads and from the list of deleted uploads I cannot quite work out what is so troublesome (what specifically puzzled me were the statements "Continued copyvio uploading after final warning" and "even after this report you still continued uploading of unfree files"). In any case, I vouch that all the user's contributions are good faith, and Spasimir is one of the most knowledgeable and active Bulgarian Wikimedians, also a person of international reputation, at least in the Central and Eastern European region. →Spiritia 08:52, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

  •  Comment I don't see any recent copyright violations, but images like this need more information. This is clearly a derivative work, so we need to know who is the author of map, when was it made, and if it is recent, we need a permission from the copyright holder. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:13, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
  •  Comment: I, too, think this must be just some unfortunate miscommunication that is not associated with bad faith from either side. And Спасимир is, indeed, a highly-respected member of the Bulgarian wikicommunity, who has been doing tremendous work in digitizing and contributing to Commons the valuable (public domain) collections of the Bulgarian National Archives. I'd like to emphasise how important is this work, which nobody else seemed able to endure consistently, as it requires copious amounts of patience and perseverance, not to mention the time one needs to devote to it. Knowing Spasimir also in person, I can also absolutely attest to his conciliatory manner, so I have no doubt that any possible problems can be resolved in a very amicable way.

Re: 2600:1700:3260:15C0:318D:5A41:1C3C:3710 (talk · contribs):

IP recently made four drive-by comments (1, 2, 3, 4) on file talk pages for entries from Wiki Loves Monument 2018, arguing that the images are not valuable and should be deleted because they contain people. Given the odd complaints, focus on old WLM 2018 photos, and similar language, duck test says this is Jessejess (talk · contribs). Jessejess participated in WLM-US 2017 and ended up with many of their photos deleted as they were unused personal images. After this, Jessejess made unconstructive edits such as this and this expressing their frustration about the deletions, and made several personal attacks until indefinitely blocked. At the time of the block, Jessejess also emailed me to the point of disruption (8 back-to-back emails) to complain about the image deletions and rationale. As an organizer of Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States, this is the only user we ever had this issue with re. disruption due to deletion of personal images.

Due to block evasion and disruption, requesting block of the IP and deletion of the four file talk page conversations as they are unconstructive. Thanks, ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 04:16, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

@1989: For IPv6 blocks please always block the /64. IPv6s generally assign an entire /64 range to one individual so it is generally safe to always block it and the way they are assigned blocking just one will rarely be enough as they shuffle very frequently. To do the /64 just take the first four octets put a ::/64 at the end and block that. So Special:Contribs/2003:d5:d3f7:6a01::/64 for this one. --Majora (talk) 22:36, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Translation pages cannot be protected, nor does the protection of the translatable page extend to them. To prevent further edits to translations, you should add the source language as only priority language and disable translations to other languages, see prioritizing languages above. Together these two actions effectively prevent changes to both the source page and translation pages with its translation unit pages.

LordOfBrexit (talk · contribs) is a sock puppet of SuperSucker (talk · contribs). I can't confirm it via CheckUser on English Wikipedia because the original account went stale, but it's very likely.

@Movses: As this is not real account but a part of the MassMessage MediaWiki extension, blocking it is pointless. I think, RMaung (WMF) uses this mechanism basing on her staff member rights. What you can do is:
  • propose disabling the extension here (this needs at least community consensus; but I am unsure if even when we get such consensus, techadmin will accept to disable it)
  • discuss the problem opening an RFC on meta, as I think this was meta initiated action distributed over wikis
  • report this problem directly to WMF to the Learning and Evaluation team of the Community Engagement department.

Those users are removed from the massmessage delivery list and do not receive any further reminders about the Community Insights survey. Let me know if you have any questions! --RMaung (WMF) (talk) 14:16, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Rebecca, this is inappropriate approach when users have to ping you "do not send notifications anymore". The correct approach is just "Do not send any notifications second and triple times in any circumstances for anybody" ! I thought it's obvious in our Universe. --Movses (talk) 14:31, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
I agree with Movses. I don't see a need to remind us about the completion status of the survey. 10%, 30%, etc. If Movses didn't sound this out, would you continue sending the same reminder at 50%, 70%, 90%? 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 14:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
User:RMaung (WMF), sending requests to editors requesting participation in the same survey multiple times is spam. You received complaints on your talk page here at commons about the spam and did not stop sending them out; you only removed the people who complained from the list. I’m not sure if you were requested to do so at the direction of other WMF staff, but please refrain from using MassMessage for this purpose in the future. Thank you, Vermont (talk) 17:33, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
While this discussion is taking place they made another spamrun at the Dutch Wikipedia. Doesn't the WMF understand that annoying your sample editors doesn't work. Natuur12 (talk) 17:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
I had not noticed that when I made my comment above. Their use of MMS is completely out of line, especially considering this conversation is currently going on. As the granting administrator on meta, I’m revoking their mass message sender rights; if the WMF would like to add it through their processes, I have no objection so long as it’s ensured this issue does not repeat. Vermont (talk) 18:26, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello all! I want to apologize to those of you who felt spammed, that was not our intention. We conduct the Community Insights survey to gather data that informs our strategy, how we allocate staff to projects, how we allocate funding, and how we can improve our community engagement work, among other things. To be sure that the data adequately represents Wikimedia communities, we need to hear from a large number of people, which is why we send reminders that substantially increase our response rate. We hear your frustration with the level of MassMessage traffic this has led to, and we will not be sending another round of reminders. For the reasons raised on this page as well as a host of others, MassMessage is not an ideal way to distribute surveys and send reminders. We've been exploring ways to distribute the survey in a less invasive and more effective way, but for this year MassMessage was the best option available to us. As we plan for next year's survey distribution, we welcome any input on how we can make sure to gather sufficiently representative data while minimizing communities' frustration on the Community Insights discussion page. Also, please feel free to reach out to me or User:DMccurdy (WMF), who is the manager of the Learning & Evaluation Team at the Foundation. We receive a high volume of messages during the Community Insights survey, but we are doing our best to respond to questions and feedback within a week or so. Best, RMaung (WMF) (talk) 21:10, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
@RMaung (WMF): You could have used central notice you know. Masum Reza📞 21:19, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
@Masumrezarock100: Central notice is great for a lot of things, but if we were to use it for survey research we would be very limited how we could analyze and apply the data. Central notice would generate what is known as a "convenience sample," which doesn't do a great job of representing the population as a whole. A random sample, where we randomly identify users to ask to take the survey, is much more effective in getting representative data. Our goal is to find a solution that still allows us to distribute the survey to specific users. --RMaung (WMF) (talk) 01:00, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello friends. The Cll_99 profile is my Old Profile. Until May 2018, I used this profile. But then I forgot the Code. I didn't enter the code so my account was always open on my computer. I forgot about it. I created this profile in July of last year and started an activity on this profile. In August of this year I finally found the Cll_99 Profile Code. But since it already has a wide range of profiles, it has decided not to use the Cll_99 profile. Please blocк the Cll_99 profile. I don't need that profile anymore.

I reserve my right to comment on public discussions. Just because I am not an admin, doesn't mean that I should not comment here. You should have discussed/warned him about his behaviour.

I have undone the DR tag removal and warned the editor for DR removal. Removing a DR tag once is not blockable (even if the IP was likely them), only blockable once it becomes disruptive (edit/revert warring). Relying on Google Translate for the comments left, while uncivil, it isn't blockable. Bidgee (talk) 07:07, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
(Edit conflict)I have warn/reminded them to be civil and also notified them of this topic, which is something you should have done (it is stated at the top of this very page). Bidgee (talk) 07:17, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for these edits. Please note, that there are two warnings already on the user’s talk page about the need to moderate his behavior. I think, native Russian speakers are to decide, how uncivil user was this time, that's why I made those pings. VLu (talk) 07:14, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Indeed, a very insulting and arrogant comment by Andshel. If they made it in Russian WP, they would have been blocked at least 7 days for it, that's for sure. Luckily for Andshel, I'm too late here: otherwise I would have blocked them. --A.Savin 10:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Administrators behaviour

Gentlemen, I wonder why two comments of your administrators Elcobbola and another one which name I don’t remember, posted on Oct 18 to my appeal of undeleting image file ‘Pasquale Festa Campanile.jpg’, have been disappeared not only from page of discussion but even from discussion history? Because they were rude, arrogant and insulting, violating collegial spirit of your Foundation? Yes, I pretty sure they were. I kindly ask the Board to restore that comments as a sample of friendly collegial collaboration inside of Wikimedia Commons. In this way many of us can reply to the above-mentioned administrators. And, yes, I’d like to restore an important file, a portrait of great Italian writer and film screenwriter and director Pasquale Festa Campanile, deleted by incompetent people with derisory as well defamatory statements. I rely on your discreteness. Thank you for understanding, Sincerelly,--Pontycosta (talk) 17:20, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

It "disappeared"" because it was closed by @De728631: as not done. @Ankry: is the other person who commented, and I'm sure we'd all be quite interested in how you reconcile calling us "rude, arrogant and insulting, violating collegial spirit" and "incompetent people with derisory as well defamatory statements" with your purported concern for "collegial spirit". As you seem unaware: COM:AGF is a policy here, and common courtesy ("rude") is to notify people whom you are discussing. Эlcobbola talk 17:29, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
Elcobbola has summed it up pretty well. Apart from that, it is standard procedure at Commons to close undeletion requests after one day. Comments were made by two very experienced administrators who opposed undeletion of this file providing convincing arguments and external links. This is why I closed the request as "not done" in due time. De728631 (talk) 22:15, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Possible block evasion by Lakonedan

Semar Ismoyo (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  Lakonedan (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

Same pattern of uploading (uploading using Commons mobile app) and same pattern of disruptive behaviour (uploading files deleted by community consensus). I just noticed they reuploaded a file by user:Lakonedan. It seems they are block-evading.  It looks like a duck to me. Masum Reza📞 02:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

 Not done Personally, I am not inclined to make a duck block when it "seems" like block-evading. Two edits, one re-uploading an image (but not an exact match) is not enough for me to make a block-evasion block. Too bold of a block without CU data or further disruptive pattern based edits. I recommend taking this to CU, and adding in that they are both using Androids and making mobile edits as evidence. ~riley (talk) 04:53, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Clarification over deletion process/dispute over picture

Hello,

A ways back I nominated a picture for deletion based on a false claim that it was the signature of the artist Céline Lepage.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Céline_Lepage,_Signature.JPG

As I am not very aware of how your process works, all the original poster had to do was say "no it isn't" and nothing more became of it as I was never informed of his claim.

I have again raised a nomination and again he has disputed it, so I thought I would write you with the facts.

The picture in question comes from the 1st dibs website, which claims that the sculpture is signed and with the provenance of the Christies Auction House. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/decorative-objects/sculptures/figurative-sculptures/celine-lepage-femme-de-marrakech-bronze-sculpture/id-f_1053862/

In fact, Christies only claimed it to be "cast from a model by" and "inscribed" not signed. Maybe these are only semantics but I think the final price paid says it all. https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/sculptures-statues-figures/a-french-patinated-bronze-figure-of-a-5663811-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intObjectID=5663811&sid=f28ed1bd-35a4-4e7b-9133-5ef8fdc0840b

The OP disputed saying "Assertion without substance". As a descendant of Lepage I can provide several examples of her signature. Many of these are already available in the common domain but a couple are not (from artwork still in the family's possession).

The intentions of the person who submitted this as an example of her signature are not my concern, but if it is the intention of Wikipedia to purvey accurate information, again I submit, this is not her signature.

Thank you for you consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sschmidt23 (talk • contribs) 11:56, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

There is nothing actionable here, and I am not sure why this report was filed on the "Blocks and protections" board. Wikipedia should in fact purvey accurate information, but it is not the task of Commons to filter what is used in Wikipedia. As long as a file is used by Wikipedia, we do not delete it unless there are copyright concerns or serious personal issues of living people. If there is doubt about the factual accuracy of the image, its description should be changed here and in Wikipedia. De728631 (talk) 19:37, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Much work for nothing

Today i spent 7 hours to produce a Wiki-Page for my died friend and artist Helmut Stangl. I place some photos of his art works from his facebook-homepage. It was a lot of work to have a nice design and give a good overview of his artistic work. After i uploaded the page suddenly a "Wiki" XenonX3 deleted all the pictures. These were pictures of my dead friends page for my dead friends page. I lost a lot of work and time and i made great experience. I have to urgently think if i will again give any donation for Wikipedia after such a rude procedure. Regards Peter Bauer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Bad Ischl (talk • contribs) 16:55, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

@Peter Bad Ischl: , as far as I can see none of the file you uploaded have been deleted.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:43, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 Not done. Now really all your uploads are deleted as copyright violations. They all depicted art of Helmut Stangl and they are protected with copyright. Copyright lasts 70 years after artist's death, that means until January 2090. Such art needs permission from artist's heir (not from friend). In addition, photos from sculptures need another permission from photographer. Some of the photos were taken from Facebook and their author was unknown. Such kind of photos are not suitable for Commons: what if the photographer or artist's heir does not like the files in Commons? After artist's heir sends OTRS-permission (German version is COM:OTRS/de) and it is received, processed and approved, those files which do not need another permission from photographer can be restored.

Promotional username. --轻语者 (talk) 11:43, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, user is active since 2015 and I see no trace of promotional activity. The account-name may have been choosen a bit unwisely, as there is indeed an Instagram account of the same name. From its on-wiki activity I see no reason for a block. Other opinions? --Túrelio (talk) 11:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
 Not done per Túrelio. No promotion detected. Taivo (talk) 10:14, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Can anyone please grant talk page access to them so they can request an unblock. --VKras (talk) 14:16, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Was just about to ping them, enabled tp access because email is disabled, too. --Achim (talk) 14:36, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Just passing through, but @VKras: I am curious as in why you are requesting that at least three blocked users regain talk page access? --Boothsift Three (talk) 22:56, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
