Contact de Wikimedia Foundation

As soon as you see claim anaa threat of physical harm to persons ("I dey go kill my body"; "I dey go kill Person"; "I dey go kill you") anaa property ("I dey go kill blow up your school"), immediately contact de Wikimedia Foundation office staff for dis special email address: emergencywikimediaorg, wey automatically dey forward to trained team of staff members wey be available make dem respond to dese incidents even outsyd of normal business hours. De Wikimedia Foundation get internal policies give office actions, such as de "On-Wiki Threat Protocol", wey dey apply both domestically for de United States insyd den internationally.

(Please note: emails dem send to dis address for non-emergency issues fi receive no response at all. If you dey hia assistance of anoda kind, dem no fi help you.)

Make you contact functionary

Except for edge cases den oda cases wey dey require common sense, such as where functionary be de source of threat, you sanso for contact de closest designated functionary give your local wiki immediately.

"Functionary" hie dem dey define as de highest body of authority wey be responsible make dem dey oversee your wiki, one wey dem typically govern by local policies den guidelines; for example, Arbitration Committee den/anaa resident team of CheckUsers dem appoint den Oversighters. If der be no ArbCom process, dem fi relegate de "functionary" role to local bureaucrats, anaa anoda special group as dem determine by local policy; den if der be no local bureaucrats, dem fi relegate de "functionary" role to local administrators, anaa anoda special group as dem determine by local policy. Den finally, if der be no local members of your community dem elect make dem hold advanced permissions, anaa dem fi be inactive anaa hold de positions temporarily per, you fi contact steward make dem serve as local "functionary".

Make you consider dey block dose wey dey issue threats of violence to odas, plus dema talkpage den email access dem revoke. Howeva, if ebe threat of suicide anaa self-harm, dem for use discretion as to whether anaa make dem no dey block if e fi be appropriate. De threats anaa claims for be RevisionDeleted anaa oversighted from de page history.
