Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 31 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Your assistance please (In need to being treated like another human being)

Hello. Not 100% sure if you have seen my messages and are just ignoring them or you've just not had time to reply., Anyway I'll get to the point. Several years ago I had an account on enwiki by the name of LouisPhilippeCharles and I was blocked (I forget by whom) and early last year I was able to get into contact with an admin by the name of Salvidrim! who was able to revive my account. I was blocked again shortly after due to the spite of another admin and have been unable to do anything since. Anyway, I also did a lot of work on the commons and it was actually you that blocked me (Under the pretence of "abusing multiple accounts" which is totally incorrect, I set up another one to upload an image I HAD MADE MYSELF which was also deleted despite my saying it was MY own work.) Anyway I was wondering if you could help me return to the commons at the very least, please bare in mind that just because you can't see me type this, am in fact another human being. Also it is almost a new year, please give me something to look forward to. Now I shall just pray you reply 92.24.37.229 10:56, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Give me strength.

Hello, I left a few messages on your German talk page where I quite literally am pleading for your help but you have since ignored me entirely. So thought I'd try here instead. Please have the human decency to reply and help me, then I will happily shut up and leabve you be. Like I said I'm a human being. :/ 92.24.34.148 11:27, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

HELLO?!

GOOD LORD. Help please. 78.149.138.126 13:59, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Ugh. HELLO?! HELP ME. 92.24.40.155 11:37, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Question

All of my "suspected" images are my own work. Can you explain me why it is not acceptable for the wiki commons? I guarantee that none else is copyright owner of all of them! Every single appearance of those files on the internet is copy of my work because I uploaded it on several wiki projects. The photos are mainly older and I previously didn’t have it in digital version so all uploaded scanned images. If it is needed I can send hard copy of these images to prove that it is my work. Yahadzija (talk) 09:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Explanation and links to guidance and policies have been repeatedly presented to you by multiple editors on multiple projects. As there appears to be ample evidence that your failure to engage with them is deliberate, I will not offer you additional explanation or, indeed, additional response.

Autopatrolled

Hi Elcobbola, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrol right to your account, as you are a trustworthy user. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Meta:Autopatrollers. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! RadiX∞ 19:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Salam Mr. Elcobbola!

saya bukan bermaksud membuat kaus kaki Suwanda Sitorus seperti dimaksud, tetapi saya ingin berkarya di tulisan-tulisan tentang orang-orang sukses di wikimedia, salahsatunya di wikimedia commons! di karnakan akun pertama saya yang Suwanda Sitorus lupa pasword! bukan bermaksud menghindari pemblokiran oleh admin seperti mr. Elcobbola mohon pengertiannya? dan yasa juga tetap pada aturan yang ada di seluruh wikimedia, salam. 36.76.196.17 23:50, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

You forgot your password ten times, at least six times in the last ca. month, and, just coincidentally, that repeated forgetfulness was proximate to your new accounts being blocked for spamming, self promotion, and copyvios? I'm not sure whom you respect less: me, for thinking I'd believe that, or yourself, for asserting that. Эlcobbola _talk 02:10, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

About Commons

Hello, ublock me on Commons, I was blocked 11 months ago by you--ჯეო (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

I did not block you; Yann was the blocking admin. I merely removed talk page access after your repeated pings and non-responsive requests rose to the level of disruption, if not harassment. That you apparently believe this message, entirely devoid of substance, to be appropriate, responsive to the issues, or in any way productive seems to reaffirm that removal. Эlcobbola _talk 16:04, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Please give me chance to write something on my talk page and I will message to him--ჯეო (talk) 14:47, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

How do I come out of my block on commons and enwiki and come to terms with my situation?

Well currently, I'm doing the standard offer on enwiki, but on commons, there is not such Standard offer or Unblock Ticket Request system to help with my unblock there since I can't edit my talk page. Can you please give me some suggestions on helping improve my situation? I think, with your 13 years of experience in wikimedia projects, I believe that you have plenty to say to help everyone. Any questions?--Eltomas2003 (talk) 20:44, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

@Eltomas2003: You are blocked by him, like me, right?, I am messaging him but there is no answer--ჯეო (talk) 20:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

I apologize

Hi how are you. I know I made mistakes and right now I'm paying for them. I want to change my name from "LukeCody" to "Aldair" and I can't because I was forever blocked from WC. May I know if there is any way you can help me change my name. I will understand if you want to block me, ok, I change my name and then you keep blocking me. Please. I need you to unblock me, I promise I won't use WC. Please reply to this message. Lukecody (talk) 15:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Mexican Peso

Please, answer as soon as you can. Why did you blocked me forever? It was supposed to be 1 day. Also, the images of Mexican Peso, which were from Internet, I took them to avoid taking photographs to real notes, this as a safety and privacy measure. If I did a mistake, please tell me how I should upload banknotes images to Wikipedia to avoid copyright, because it’s free to edit and we can learn right?, or are you the Wikimedia Police?

Possible impersonation

Hello. Are you the person behind Ǝlcobbola? --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 09:13, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

@Minorax: no, it's LTA SwissArmyGuy. @Billinghurst: FYI. Filter tweak? Эlcobbola _talk 10:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

addition  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:24, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, @Billinghurst: Will that also prevent against, say, Эlcobbola? (There are logs of SwissArmyGuy attempting this.) Could User:Ǝlcobbola/Draft be deleted as well? Эlcobbola _talk 11:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Done. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:07, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I think so though haven't checked. It uses the mw:extension:Antispoof mw:Equivset and if they are not in the set, then we should get them added.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:35, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

And now I have equivocated the other way in my earlier decision making and made the alteration, just in case.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

User Commons and Correct

You blocked me on Commons. I understand the reason for being blocked (sockpuppeter). Over half a year, after reviewing some molecular files in (Hoa112008), uploaded, some models were wrongly drawn. I have more precise versions of them, like the salt molecule represented by cation+anion is not exact, must be represented by crystals. Now, (thanks to you) can help me get the correct version (new version) by sending you the picture to your email. Can you tell me what your email is? Thank.--Molecule 2211 (talk) 08:19, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Molecule 2211

Request for help

Ec, my commons account was blocked by you. Now, to be honest, I feel like there’s no logical reasoning behind this. I checked that MegaMack02 was global locked prior to the block. Yet, I got into my account without a problem (this action in no way is seen as blasphemy). If my account was part of the global lock, I would not have been able to log in at all. If you read my user page, you will see that my account is owned by the IP mentioned in the user page, and that my account is used by said IP for me to access semi-protected pages. Since I need to keep up my activity on a WIP draft page, I need to upload photos, as I had absolutely no edits (disregarding my user page creation prior to the block). Can you please review my activity on Commons and run a sleeper check? Thank you. XJ999 (talk) 16:33, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

You judged quickly and even blocked my IP range falsely branding it as an open proxy so that I couldn’t defend myself or request the removal of the block from my main account. Why? XJ999 (talk) 16:34, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Ec

Hello. Dear admin Elcobbola, my IP was blocked from Commons due to a misunderstanding. Of course, I fully respect you when you did this. While trying to talk to Yann, I received the block error message: “Editing and uploading from 174.202.0.0/21 was disabled by ‪Elcobbola‬ for the following reason: Vandalism: Open Proxy/Webhost. This block (ID #433977) is set to expire: 16:39, 5 September 2022. This assessment is incorrect in my opinion. While it is true that my IP is part of the range, it surely has no reason to be listed as an open proxy. There is no particularly high potential of abuse, and my only edit is to start a conversation with Yann about more MegaMack alts that continually flood into the Commons Regards, please unblock my account. I have always been subject to the rules. Please give me this chance. Sincerely 174.202.6.113 15:35, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Request for Reconsideration of Indefinite Block

Dear @Elcobbola,

I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out to you today with a sincere request and a renewed commitment to positive change. Since my block in March 2023, I have taken significant steps to understand the issues that led to this action and to better myself in order to contribute constructively to WikiCommons.

I want to express my regret for the mistakes that resulted in my block, particularly the misunderstanding surrounding multiple accounts. I now fully comprehend the gravity of these actions and the impact they had on the community. I apologize for any confusion or disruption this may have caused. Since then, I have made it a priority to deepen my understanding of the platform's guidelines and to ensure that my future participation aligns with community expectations.

Over the past months, I have reflected on my actions and the reasons for my block. I realize that my previous appeals lacked clarity and did not present a concrete plan for how I would contribute positively if unblocked. For this, I sincerely apologize.

Here is how I intend to move forward and contribute constructively to WikiCommons:

1. Adherence to Guidelines: I have thoroughly reviewed the community guidelines and policies. I am committed to adhering to them diligently and ensuring that my contributions meet the standards expected of all community members.
2. Positive Contributions: My focus will be on adding high-quality content that enriches the platform and supports its mission.
3. Accountability: I will take full responsibility for my actions and maintain transparent communication with the community. I understand the importance of trust and am dedicated to rebuilding it through consistent and respectful behavior.

I sincerely hope that you will consider giving me another opportunity to demonstrate the positive changes I have made. I am eager to contribute meaningfully to WikiCommons and to become a valued member of the community once again.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards, — Osama Eid ^(talk) 21:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
