Village pump notice needed for Requests for comment/Trwiki block of RuzDD by an unproven sockpuppet claim

Hello, the user in question is blocked and thus can’t notify the wiki. So I am asking help from stewards per the policy. May a steward put up a notice on the Turkish Wikipedia?--85.98.17.178 09:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

RuzDD was unfairly blocked. It hasn't been proven that he is a sockpuppet but he was blocked, so sysop (administrator) rights were abused. The matter must be intervened urgently. 31.143.87.86 12:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much. RuzDD (talk) 09:53, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
@HakanIST Can you help me about that? RuzDD (talk) 13:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
@EPIC Sorry for another ping but can you help me for that? RuzDD (talk) 14:48, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
@Xaosflux As HakanIST and EPIC could not help me, can you help me about that? RuzDD (talk) 09:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Hacked Account

Robertjamal12 has been compromised and the email associated with his original account has since been changed. According to him,this incident happened the dawn of May 5, 2024 when he received an email about an attempt to login into his account and the next email was to inform him that the email associated with his account has been changed. The hacked account been editing since and the associated IP address deemed to be located in Canada. We will be glad if you could investigate this account and help with the restoration.

I did an investigation but couldn't find anything myself, and they last edited yesterday as far as I can see. If the account is indeed compromised, could you tell them to email Trust & Safety through ca@wikimedia.org, to confirm that they do not have access to the account? EPIC (talk) 16:27, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the review. I have sent him the email. He has sent the email. He said his last edit was this but his global contribution is in this link Dnshitobu (talk) 17:24, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Great, thank you :) Since the account last edited the English Wikipedia, contacting the checkusers could also be beneficial. Going ahead and doing so. EPIC (talk) 17:45, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
I locked the account following consultation with English Wikipedia CheckUsers. — JJMC89(T·C) 20:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
