Requests for comment/Unjustified block in the Hebrew Wikipedia

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The following request for comments is closed. Closing, as this RFC has quickly gone stale and there is no need for multiple open requests about a single wiki's governance. --MF-W 20:44, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Hello My Hebrew Wikipedia account (AMI LEER) was blocked three weeks ago without warning. The announcement stated a mass block of 43 users, accused of being sock puppets (alternate accounts) working together to disrupt the project. While my username wasn't explicitly listed, this was apparently the reason for my block. I was shocked by this accusation. I contribute independently to Hebrew Wikipedia, adding reliable sources, fixing errors, and including relevant links. I haven't held any existing editing roles, and the administrators haven't changed any relevant roles after the block, further demonstrating my good faith. My attempts to understand the block and regain editing access have been unsuccessful. I can only access my talk page to contact the blocking administrator, but my messages have been ignored. The announcement implies the blocks weren't based on individual review, raising concerns about transparency. This lack of clarity prevents me from defending myself or understanding why I wouldn't meet their standards. I reached out to Wikipedia support, who recommended contacting the Hebrew Wikipedia administrator directly. Unfortunately, my attempt to reach one hasn't been successful. Hoping for a resolution, I'm seeking help here.

Comment Comment As I have already pointed out to three other colleagues, there are multiple requests for comment on the same hewiki matter that were created in a short span, these being Requests for comment/blocked and ignored by the bureaucrats in Hebrew Wiki, Request for Comment/Banned without any explanation, and Requests for comment/Abuse of power by bureaucrats in the Hebrew Wikipedia. To easen community input I suggest you merge this request into any of the listed above. Best, A09|(pogovor) 20:25, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a block within the W:HE:ויקיפדיה:פרשת הטיית הצבעות ודיונים 2024, which was carried out by the bureaucrats. @גארפילד@ביקורת, for your information. Neriah - 💬 - 09:21, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
