Hello,

I have been active on SWMT (primarily on Korean wikiprojects where I don't have admin rights, but I also idle on #cvn-sw^connect) and COIBot reports, and I think I could benefit from the GR tools so I can revert spam and vandalism faster. For example, I have reverted some spam links per COIBot reports since Oct 2014, (1, 2, 3, 4 and some more...) and I think GR tool will help me reverting faster.

(PS. 8~9 edits on all wikis are part of global userpage JS (Now defunct). Contribs on some wikis may include Commons filemover system's automated file replacements.)

Hi, everyone. I'd like to apply for gs permission again. I was a global sysop for more than 2 years, from March 2012 to July 2014, when I lost this permission due to inactivity. I was a quite busy in real life in 2014. However, in November, I returned to the countervanlism tasks, and I miss having this set of admin tools. I have been a member of the SWMT since 2010. Talking about local sysopship, I hold the sysop bit on pt.wiki, en.wikiversity and mediawiki.org, and I'm currently a global rollbacker. I hope I can help a bit more by having this permission, again. Thanks, Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 21:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral I see resumed activity from 29th December 2014 on, which was approx. a week ago. This seems a bit little to me, considering the reason for the de-GS was inactivity.

In some places I need to use TOR Browser (not in my home). I have this permissions on PL Wiki, but I think I need it globally (to edit Meta, EN, DE Wiki and maybe more)., thanks, --Devwebtel (talk) 21:04, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To use Tor browser because of high Internet-censure in Uzbekistan. I promise not to use this right for bad things. --Ochilov (talk) 07:31, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How have you been editing on Wikimedia up until now, and why is it necessary for you to start using TOR? I would normally grant this request, but there was another just recently that was declined for having no legitimate need. Ajraddatz (talk) 07:39, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was editing without it, but when I needed to go to the other website, I changed my connectin to VPN, closed Wiki-projects and then surfed internet. It is very hard and boring to turn it on/off every time when I want just to surf internet or simply search materials to Wikipedia, Wikinews or Wikiquote articles. --Ochilov (talk) 08:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've canceled my previous request, I have to use shared IPs for the next month and my robot is running on shared servers, thanks, --Mjbmr (discussion • contribs) 09:30, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The previous request was challenged, though I note that providing global IPBE only circumvents global IP blocks, not local blocks, so concerns about your editing at individual wikis is not problematic. I am unaware of any global IP blocks that have been put in place against the individual, so I don't see a particular issue granting this right to an individual user account.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:16, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Won't allow me to edit with TOR? or OVH? Mjbmr (discussion • contribs) 11:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 1 month to expire on 2015-02-04. Be aware that any abuse, even if only slightly related to this right, will lead to its inmediate removal and re-enforce of your block on meta. Please also note this is not an apology, and "testing steward intelligence" is obvious disruption. Savh^ñ 11:17, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, It really helps, btw see like this, you always have be aware what you are clicking on, and yeah I know that's obvious disruption that's why I've been blocked for a while. but I guess I'm more welcomed for him than before by that apology, that was personal not related to any of my requests. CU system is weak and it's easily bypassable but I'm telling I don't need to mess around with people. I only focus of the content, for now I'm busy with Persian Wikinews and with scripting, I'll let you know If I couldn't edit any where. sorry to made you feel bad, I never seen granting temp IPBE. Mjbmr (discussion • contribs) 13:30, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have to use proxies for that there exists heavy Internet censorship in China. Almost all exit nodes are self-owned VPS and are properly managed. Previous blocks on the IP range of the IDC I am using may exist, and should persist as I may change the service provider after they've been blocked in China.
