Hi. This happens now and then here on Meta since it's a multi-language project. The pages that you created in error is deleted. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:27, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Usuario:Invadinado

Hello, Tegel.

Yes, you have reason, I've looked it. This is because of unfamiliarity with English. I'm sorry.

Thanks for the warning, and regards from Spanish Wikipedia. invadinado (Tell me) 18:36, 5 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. It was just to inform you why I deleted the page. As you can see above it's not the first time it happens and it will probably not be the last time. -- Tegel (Talk) 18:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome. Ruy Pugliesi semiprotected my user page 6 month ago due to vandalism. It shouldn't be necessary to protect the user page, but in some cases it seems to be the only option. It seems like the user is back here. -- Tegel (Talk) 02:43, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

How can i add quotes in Pashto wikiquote

Hi there

How can i add quotes in here? Please guide me Thanks --WadanAfghanistan 08:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. My knowledge in wikiquotes is not the best, but what happens if you enter the name of the person in the frame and create the page? When the page is created you can add the quotes of that person. Check other pages on for instance Wikiquote in English how they have setup the pages. -- Tegel (Talk) 14:25, 4 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Stewards/Elections 2012/Statements/Tegel

Hi, Tegel. First of all, good luck on elections!

I used the English version of your statement to add Portuguese version. I am not sure about a sentence:

"Fighting cross-wiki vandalism and supporting small wikis is what user outside of Wikipedia in Swedish see me do, and that is a big part of what I do."

The text in bold is not clear for me. Could you tell me that in other words, please?” Teles (T @ L C S) 19:27, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I don't mean to offend but I'm slightly confused too, reworded, perhaps this is what you mean:

"A user that does not use the Swedish Wikipedia can see that fighting cross-wiki vandalism and supporting small wikis is a big part of what I do here. On the Swedish Wikipedia, I am a bureaucrat and so do standard bureaucrat work - renaming accounts, adding and removing bot flags and promoting new administrators and bureaucrats."

Hope this helps! The Helpful One 19:38, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Good suggestion Thehelpfulone. I think that I go for that. I had some issues with that particular sentence so the support is appreciated. -- Tegel (Talk) 20:53, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

That IP block

It doesn't worry me but I was about to block that IP when you did. Looking at the block log with blocks up to 3 months in the past and a lot of them I wonder if something rather longer would be more appropriate. Regards --Herby talk thyme 19:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

User rights

Hello. How are you? I am admin on MK Wikisource and Wikipedia, and the last week there was a voting for my request about the bureaucrat user rights on MK Wikisource. Since I am the first of that kind on mk Wikisource, I need a steward to give me the rights. There was voting, limited of course because of the small number of users, but it was successful. I asked Milosh, a steward, to give me the rights, but probably he is busy. Can you do it? Thanks, --MacedonianBoy (talk) 20:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Place the request at Steward requests/Permissions under the right section. Then all Stewards will see it. I'm new as Steward and this is a tricky case when so few users has voted, so I prefer that some of the more experienced Stewards look at this. -- Tegel (Talk) 20:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's because no more than 2 are active users there :) I got the admin rights on the same way.--MacedonianBoy (talk) 20:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's why I would like that the request is placed on Steward requests/Permissions. One question is if you really need a bureaucrat with so few active users. -- Tegel (Talk) 21:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
I made my request. Of course we need, we are four, the most active one, but we have new users from time to time. We do not have bureaucrats at all, and we hope we will get the first one. For every bureaucratic intervention we need to ask the stewards which is not practical. Best--MacedonianBoy (talk) 21:34, 17 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

You have to use the right steward at the request of the user on a particular wiki and it seems to me not a problem under certain conditions. Cheers. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 13:37, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
The Steward policy states "in an emergency situation requiring immediate action". And it's a tricky balance when it comes to what could be considered "emergency". But the problem got solved, and that's the important thing. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:44, 24 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Unlock request

Hello! Could you please unlock my account in the following wiki-projects: Russian wikipedia and Wiki-Commons. You can see I didn't commit vandal actions in these projects and it would be fairly to no block me there.88.82.168.217 02:16, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Spamming 36 different wikis is cross-wiki vandalism and is a ground for locking the account. That you continued to do it on a couple of wikis after the account being locked doesn't do it any better for you.
Doing good on some wikis doesn't allow you to vandalise other wikis, so I have no intention on lifting the lock. If you think that the locking of the account is wrong, then you could place a request on Steward requests/Global. -- Tegel (Talk) 18:31, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Stop. I don't think the blocking my "guest" wiki sub-accounts is wrong. And I don't ask you to unlock these sub-accounts. But where is the sense to block my account in projects where I bring much good and did nothing illegal? Can you see the difference? Best regards, 88.82.168.217 23:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I can see the difference, but that is not how it works. Cross-wiki vandalism on 36 wikis results in a global lock of the account. And the global lock affects all WMF's wikis. -- Tegel (Talk) 00:11, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I got it. Tell me please, is it possible just to kill all my sub-accounts and leave alone account in Russian wikipedia? It was before January 2012, when I create multy-project account.88.82.168.217 00:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
It's technically possible, but this is not a valid reason. Now you only have one global account and that account is locked. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:26, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
It's kinda stupid rule I guess. To ban user with 1000 useful edits and 100 pictures loaded on Wiki Commons (without warning) for his actions in the different areas. As if you jumped red lights and the policeman take out your child for this. 88.82.168.217 23:56, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Isn't that comparison a little bit wrong? It was your account that did all the edits. It's not like I blocked your account for something that your children did on their account. You should have thought of that before you went cross-wiki. You did one edit on a wiki and then you went on to the next one. So a warning on the wiki that you just left would have no effect because you wouldn't see it. As I wrote above, doing good on some wikis doesn't allow you to vandalise other wikis. You could place a request on Steward requests/Global and see if some of the other Stewards makes another judgement. -- Tegel (Talk) 00:19, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
You don't understand my comparison (maybe it was poor comparison, sorry, my English is not good enough). It should be read so: as if you jumped red lights and the court judgement is "deprivation of Parental responsibility" 88.82.168.217 00:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
So what you're saying is that cross-wiki vandalism is a minor offence and should be allowed if you have done good edits elsewhere? Or do you think that the penalty was too hard based on what you did? I have explained above how you should do to get a second opinion on the lock. -- Tegel (Talk) 01:15, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Surely, the second one. The red light jumping must be punished. But not by deprivation of Parental responsibility. I accept that blocking me in wikis where I vandalised (and where supposed to) is right. But there was no need to block me in Russian wiki. Yep, I guess I should make a request to Steward requests/Global. Just wanted to discuss this situation with admin who locked me. 88.82.168.217 02:28, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

You blocked my private VPN IP

This isn't a proxy and this isn't public, you need to pay to use that IP, so please unblock it. Wikimedia never said being anonymous was forbidden. It is the use of open proxies thaa anybody can use that is forbidden. 46.246.20.43 17:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

If you read No open proxies you can see that open and anonymous proxys is handled in the same way and can be blocked at any time. It's not illegal to edit thou a proxy or anonymous service, but there is no guarantee that it will work. As in your case. It doesn't matter if you have to pay or not. You just have to use your normal IP-address when editing Wikipedia. But something tells me that you, for some reason, can't use your normal IP-address. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
A VPN is not something you can disable like that, it is used permanently for all Internet connections types, disconnecting it means it will cut all connections of all softwares connected to the Internet. The way I read the policy, private proxies are allowed since it is explicitly said only public proxies are not allowed, so not using your real IP is not forbidden, or why they would mention "public". Also a VPN isn't a proxy, unlike a proxy it governs all connections at all times without having to configure any software. A VPN service provider isn't different that an ISP, and you can contact my VPN provider to get my IP. 46.246.20.43 23:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Private proxy, or as in this case an anonymous service, is not forbidden, but may be blocked without any reason. Do you really think that a company that makes it's business from protecting user will let me have your real IP-address? That is bad for business. And this is a public service. You just have to pay for it. I say it again, you have to use your normal IP-address when editing Wikipedia. -- Tegel (Talk) 01:23, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
If you really think I will cut my connection for something like wikipedia then you must be out of your mind. 46.246.20.43 04:02, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's your choice. If you don't want to show your real IP-address there is always the option to create an user account. Then you're more anonymous and your IP-address is protected by the privacy policy. Unless you already have an account, that is the only other option I can give you. -- Tegel (Talk) 08:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
"inet addr:192.168.88.24 Bcast:192.168.88.255 Mask:255.255.255.0" <-- This is my real IP, how do I ise it to access your site? My entire ISP routs traffic trough Anonie so I do not have any other public IP than my Anonine IP. All other ISP:s in my area does similar things. They either route everything trough a VPN provider or they block access to everything but such a provider. There are dozens of reasons why blocking by IP is ALWAYS a bad idea, and with the new EU laws forcing smal providers to shut down the use of anything but VPN:s (or handle exabytes of logs) you will be shutting out most of EU with this policy.
192.168.88.24 is a private IP-adddress and is not used on the Internet. Do you use a router at home? Could you say what ISP you are using?
If you create an account from an open IP-address you can get exemption from the IP-block locally on the wiki that you want to edit. But then you can only edit that wiki, and it's up to the local community if they would allow you to be exempted from the IP-block. Normally that would be difficult for a new user. That is what I can offer you today, unless you can give me more information on who the ISP is so I can assess the situation in a better way. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:05, 27 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I live in a swedish housing cooperative which is also my ISP. As they own the wires I can not easily swith to a ISP that provide public IP adresses. They are not leagally an ISP as they do not provide public aresses, which saves them a huge amount of cash in hardware and software resquired in order to log everything we do on the Internet so they have no plans in handing me or anyone else a public IP. All my friends also live in apartmants where landlords face similar problems and have only private IP:s as a result.
Also please note that fresh statistics show that about 10% of the Swedish population is affected by this and is thereby blocked from editing wikipedia. Having a small tech support company I am flooded by calls from people that meet a access denied page if they try to access anything but Anonine or Relakks.
I do realize that the only reliable solution like this is using something else then IP:s as internet identities. Why doesnt Wikipedia support OpenID, WebID or some other high-level identity solution?
Wikipedia will not use any third-party services, so that's not going to be possible. Unfortunately, abuse often occurs on such shared IPs - so a few bad apples ruin the whole bushel. Things will improve when Wikimedia begins to use IPv6.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:35, 4 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
It's like Jasper say, we have had too much problem with user that uses Anonine and other similar services. Someone acts as the ISP with an external IP-address. Anonine doesn't act as an ISP. If you create an account from another IP-address, you can use that account from home. As I explained above. Can you provide a link to the statistics about the 10% affected Swedes? -- Tegel (Talk) 23:20, 4 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia uses plenty of 3:d party services... like for example the internet, e-mail and reverse DNS. There must be a less idiotic way to handle identity then IP bans. I do not really se why supporting OpenID or BrowserID (Formerly WebID) would be that much of a problem. Also there is not really a need for 3:d party service, internal measures like web of trust could be used, like letting a invite from a non-banned member ovverride the IP-ban.
"It's like Jasper say, we have had too much problem with user that uses Anonine and other similar services.". Thats because you rely on IP banning which is notoriously unreliable.
"Someone acts as the ISP with an external IP-address.". Yes the ISP has an external IP address. But we are talking about users which dont.
"If you create an account from another IP-address, you can use that account from home. As I explained above." When a decreasing ammount of users have access to "another IP-adress" this is a problematic approach.
"Can you provide a link to the statistics about the 10% affected Swedes?". I can find you the article from the swedish paper that reported it, if that would be useful for you? However it is in swedish...— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.246.17.92 (talk)
The IP-block is only for those without accounts today. If it will be more common with OpenID and that type of system, then we might see support for that in the MediaWiki software. Until then we have to work with the functions that we have.

This block reason surprises me (I noticed because I watch Chapter-selected Board seats/2012/Process) considering the range contribs [1] which suggests it's just one naughty person playing with various wikis, and so a temporary block (1 week - 1 month?) should suffice.

Please reply on my talk page. Deryck C. 20:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I will reply here, but I will notify you about the reply. It's to be considered standard to block proxy servers or similar servers for 1-3 years, due to that the IP-address doesn't change that often. And the hole subnet was already globally blocked.
As I assume that you are aware of, open proxys can be blocked without having done any real damage to the projects and is normally given the longest non-permanent block set as default at that particular wiki.
If it only been a "comment spammer" the block time would have been more in the range 24-36 hours. -- Tegel (Talk) 00:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
That surprises me even more - someone managed to edit from the range without logging in even though it's globally rangeblocked? Deryck C. 06:31, 3 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Meta is not covered by the global block. That is so it would be possible to come to Meta to appeal for a removal of the block or to apply for a Global IP-block exemption. -- Tegel (Talk) 07:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Tegel, I65.232.286.357 was a sockpuppet of the Astrotroll and has now been locked by Tanvir. Greetings, Mathonius (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thanks for the information. I put a global block on the IP-address that the user used recently on sv.wiki. It was on the list and had been blocked before. -- Tegel (Talk) 15:52, 17 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I am not spamming

Dear Tegel, please unblock my IP. I am not spamming, I am just setting an external link which might be usefull for those interested in Serbian language - the link is about Serbian language and I put it on Wiki pages about Serbian language. I am an assistant professor at the University of Belgrade (as you can probably see from my IP), not some crazy kid. Thanks!

Adding the same link on every other wiki is cross-wiki spamming and is a valid reason for a global block. -- Tegel (Talk) 10:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Banning of private proxy

Hi. I want to contact a wikimedia bureaucrat about the banning of my private proxy you decided and which I think is clearly against wikimedia policy as it is explicitly said that only OPEN proxies should be banned. OPEN = PUBLIC = NON PRIVATE, I don't think that the word OPEN is there just so that people ignore it. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/NOP It doesn't say No Proxy, it says No OPEN proxies. Tell me how to contact bureaucrats about it, thanks.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.246.23.73 (talk)

As you can read on No open proxies and above, that open or anonymising proxies may be blocked at any time. Anonine in an anonymization service with the purpose for their customer to be hidden when surfing the net. Just because you pay for your service to a company that offer an anonymization service doesn't mean it's classified as private and should be excluded from the "No open proxies"-policy.
If you create an account your IP-address is protected by the privacy policy and the CheckUser policy, and there is only a few user at each wiki that is, under certain criteria, allowed to see your real IP-address. So as long as you don't do anything bad on Wikipedia, no one will ever find out your IP-address. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:34, 19 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Where is the link to wikimedia bureaucrats? I do not see it.
Obviously all that " + anonymous proxy " is something that was pulled out of nowhere (to stay polite) at some point by some people without any consensus or thought. In the article you linked the "Open or anonymising proxies" part is linking to an article named "Open proxy" where it is stated it must be usable by anybody as opposed to private, this just shows how all of this is made up. How is a proxy not anonymous to begin with since it always shows another IP and not the real one, the key word is OPEN, because not showing your personal IP has never been forbidden, or all universities, cyber cafés and any space with a shared computer would have been banned long time ago, as well as all computers using a private proxy (like in many companies). If there is any spam issue, report it. VPN providers are banning the spamers because they are causing trouble to all other customers. I know my VPN provider does. You seem to think the problem is I want to hide my IP on wikipedia but no I wouldn't care about it, I use it for other applications. If I could just create an exception for wikipedia I would, but that isn't possible, the only way is to entirely disconnect from the VPN which means it will cut the connexion of all my applications connected to the internet, and that's something I can obviously not afford. I do not really want to argue any further with you because everything has been said many times so if you didn't understand until now, then you just don't want to. Now I want to talk to a bureaucrat and not to a sysop, I will ask to bureaucrats to clear this up as they should when a sysop is acting outside of the consensus. Thank you.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.246.88.48 (talk)
Bureaucrats on the different Wikimedia projects can only change user names, promote new administrators and bureaucrats and add bot flags to bot accounts. Nothing else. Administrators exists on each local project and can block users and IP-adresses. In this case your IP-address is globally locked from all Wikimedia projects, and that is preformed by a Steward. So lifting the global block you would like to talk to a Steward, so you can talk to me.
By the way, your latest IP-address, 46.246.88.48, is not globally blocked.
Policys doesn't come from nothing, but is discussed for a long time and agreed by many user thru consensus. Then that the founder of Wikipedia is in line with this policy doesn't make it less valid. So if you don't like the policy your welcome to take up the discussion and see if you have support for demoting it from a policy to a guideline or something similar. Until then it's a policy that we follow. As stated in the policy, it's not forbidden to use a proxy to edit Wikipedia, but it may be blocked for any time without any reason. And when it comes to Anonine there is many reasons why it should be blocked.
In your case the proxy is available for anyone that pays money to Anonine, and it's in that way a public proxy, compared to a private proxy used by a company to connect to the Internet. Many Cyber Cafés is blocked from editing because their customers is vandalising as well as schools. So in these cases, as in your case, some customers is causing trouble for other good customers. That is why many of the blocks is anonymous only, witch mean that if you have an account you can log in from that IP-address. You just have to create the account from an IP-address that is not blocked.
There is transparent proxys that shows the IP-address behind the proxy as well if a check is done.
A dozen proxys is blocked on all the major languages every day, and if you think that all these administrators is acting against the policy, you're free to bring it up for discussion as well. Until the you have two options if you want to edit Wikipedia; disconnect from the VPN-service or create an account from another IP-address.
If you are from the same country as Anonine, Sweden, you can use Swedish the next time. -- Tegel (Talk) 19:33, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Question

Hi Tegel. In this post you say: "When the second unblock-request was placed I was considering granting that, but when I was called "teenaged bully", then I kind of lost interest in looking into this case further. A "teenaged bully" is so far from what I am in real life that you can't imagine. But since the comments is crossed out I could consider reconsidering my decision." As you correctly noticed the comment was crossed out. Is there anything else that is preventing you from granting the unblock request especially now when there is a strong consensus for the unblock? Broccolitalk page 03:38, 19 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I was about to believe that you declined unblock in a good faith but your ignoring my question makes me think otherwise. Thanks. Broccolitalk page 19:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi. I have been on vacation without any Internet connection so there hasn't been any time or possibility to check this. I said that I would think about my rejection of the request, and I will do that. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:57, 4 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I am sorry, but it is not rocket science we are talking about IMO. The editor was unfairly blocked for over a month! I believe you should either unblock her, or at the very least you should remove your "decline" of her unblock request, and let an uninvolved administrator to handle this unblock because now it does not look you acted in a good faith, and it is not only my opinion. Broccolitalk page 16:43, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I have commented the case here: Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat#Unblock request of Mbz1. There is a new unblock request that other admins can act on. We can't remove the first unblock request when other users has commented on it. That would look strange when they comment something that doesn't exist. And we can't remove all these comments. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

The user Aweescotsman was not blocked by me, but by an adminstrator on sco.wikipedia.

Hi. There has not been any cross-wiki spam from your IP-address from what I can see right now. There where alot of cross-wiki spam from the IP-addresses around your IP-address. When one IP-address where blocked the user switched to another IP-address and continued. So the only solution that we had was to place a range-block on the hole subnet, and that is was also affect you. From what I can see there is 10 websites hosten on this IP-address. That is normally not where editors edit from, and indicate some kind of proxy or VPN-service. I will check what can be done with the range-block. You might want to read No open proxies. -- Tegel (Talk) 22:26, 9 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your speedy response. To clarify: the server in question indeed hosts several web sites, as well as act as a VPN server for myself and very limited set of friends. Each user has a personal client certificate to access the system. This host isn't an open proxy, nor is the user activity anonymous.
Regardless, I was more concerned about one of my friends potentially being infected by malware than the actual edit blockade. --176.9.118.209 22:57, 9 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
One final note: The addresses in this subnet are static. One customer can have multiple ipv4 addresses though.

När jag prövade med bug report verkar det som om det inte räcker med mitt wikikonto, utan man verkar vara tvungen att registrera ett Bugzilla konto. Är bug report det enda sättet att rapportera tekniska fel? Mvh Höstblomma (talk) 10:44, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hej. Detta problem är tyvärr inget som jag märkt av. Jag använder Monobook och laddar dessutom en extra navigeringsmeny. Det enda sättet är nog att skapa en bug report. Det går snabbt att skapa ett Bugzilla konto, trots att det är ytterligare ett konto att hålla reda på. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:26, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Request

You've blocked my IP and I don't know the reason why. I am using this PC inside a building with shared server (a student dorm) and I am not able to edit anything. So please unblock my IP.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.103.160.20 (talk)

I blocked the IP-address because of cross-wiki vandalism. What wiki do you want to edit? -- Tegel (Talk) 16:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
I did edits on English and Italian Wikis only. Please unblock this IP.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.103.160.20 (talk)
There is a local block on the English Wikipedia, so you can't edit there anyway if I remove the global block. The IP-address is locally blocked on four wikis and should be blocked on another four wikis. Have you done any edit on the Italian wiki today? -- Tegel (Talk) 16:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
No, there were no edits of Italian Wiki from my PC today, nor in last few days.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.103.160.20 (talk)
OK. I have to go on what is coming from the IP-address that you are using and based on that the global block will remain the full 31 hours. My recommendation to you is that, after the block has expired, create an account. Then you're not so affected if the IP-address is blocked. But not immune. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:56, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

You have a new message

You have a new message. --Kolega2357 (talk) 16:27, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

And you have placed a request at Steward requests/Bot status. You have to wait until someone that normally handles bot-requests answer on your request. -- Tegel (Talk) 16:36, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Request

Ok, I will wait. Would you mind telling me how to become immune? 213.103.160.20 17:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Start with creating an account and do a lot of good edits. Then, if you're affected by a globally blocked IP-address, you can come back and I will direct you to the proper place where you can request it. If the IP-address is blocked locally on one wiki it's handled locally. -- Tegel (Talk) 17:28, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Check User

Why do you keep in Serbo-Croatian itself give Check User right without the knowledge of the community. This is a concrete example:

Explain to me please, this is a community you do not inform anyone nor tolerate, here at the request of META. --Kolega2357 (talk) 12:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have been doing checks to protect the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia against vandalism. -- Tegel (Talk) 12:55, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Why himself giving right Check users on the META? Would not that be should you give yourself to check Wikipedia on where vandalism? It is very interesting for me. --Kolega2357 (talk) 13:06, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I give myself Check User right on the wiki where the vandalism is, but the user right change is logged at meta. It's like that for all user rights where a Steward do the change and not a local bureaucrat. I know it's interesting for you. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:10, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I understand but it does not show in the history of the user's right to check up on Wikipedia, where vandalism. --Kolega2357 (talk) 13:19, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

No, Only on Meta. -- Tegel (Talk) 13:20, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

How Check User tools through an check open proxy up to see the true IP address. It's very important I made a testwiki. --Kolega2357 (talk) 00:33, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

That is something of a trade secret used to fight vandalism and is nothing that I can reveal here. -- Tegel (Talk) 19:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
