CheckUser access for administrator election scrutineers

The Arbitration Committee has been informed that, following a request from an English Wikipedia editor, Stewards Johannnes89 (talk · contribs), EPIC (talk · contribs), and Yahya (talk · contribs) have volunteered to serve as scrutineers for the administrator elections being held this month using SecurePoll. The Committee notes that SecurePoll election scrutineers often use local CheckUser permissions in order to fully perform their functions.

The Arbitration Committee has been unable to locate community discussions that establish consensus for appointing Stewards from outside the English Wikipedia to serve as CheckUsers for this purpose, which would bypass the Committee's established procedures for functionary appointments in ordinary circumstances.

Nonetheless, the Committee has decided to appoint the three Steward volunteers as English Wikipedia CheckUsers for the duration of the election in order to facilitate the election process. In future cases, the Committee will request a showing of affirmative community consensus for selecting scrutineers from among Stewards outside the English Wikipedia before granting such access outside of the ordinary procedure.

Accordingly, the Arbitration Committee grants temporary English Wikipedia CheckUser permissions to Stewards Johannnes89, EPIC, and Yahya, solely for the purpose of their acting as scrutineers in the ongoing administrator elections.

A question about your IP block

Hello EPIC. You seem like a good lad. Can you please give me information about the recent three-day block of the IPv6 range "2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:..." and also what kind of policy would mandate a three-day block for "long-term abuse". How is that going to help? Best wishes, 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:D5D3:367:202:F5DE (talk) 18:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Beware, I am still making high-quality edits on Wiktionary. 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:D5D3:367:202:F5DE (talk) 21:48, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Oirattas

Hello. I think the globally blocked user that was blocked by you, Oirattas, has returned under a different account, Moroike. It's especially evident in Commons, as both Oirattases and Moroike often post on the same user talk pages requesting map updates and the like, usually of same maps Oirattas had requests for; here see for yourself the glaringly similar commons interaction analysis, and even en-wiki interaction analysis showing very selective articles edited by both and more of same user "request" talk comments [1]. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 12:12, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, is there any CU confirmation on this (such as on Commons)? Since all of the wikis where they have recent edits have local checkusers, I cannot check myself. EPIC (talk) 10:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Do you want me to open a SPI case in commons? Could you link the page for SPI in commons? I never opened a SPI report there. The most distinct evidence of socking is in commons as far as I've seen, but there are some examples in en-wiki too like I've shown. I don't know about other projects though, haven't checked them. KhndzorUtogh (talk) 11:35, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, please do since I can't check on any of the wikis where they have recent edits. The request page is at c:Commons:Requests for checkuser. EPIC (talk) 13:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I am blocked from editing

Hi @EPIC, I was editing a Marathi language article when i suddenly got to know my IP address was blocked. I am a part-time editor on wikipedia. After further investigation, I got to know that IP: 27.59.76.0/24 was blocked by you and my IP comes in its range. I think it was a mistake, please unblock me for editing. Thank You ! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 09:45, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

I tried reconfiguring the block. Could you try again now? EPIC (talk) 09:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, i can edit now. Thanks ! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 09:47, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

@EPIC 1) can you please check if User:私は日本が大好きです is a sockpuppet ? He is disrupting Lingayatism again and again without proper reasons.

2) I was recently blocked from editing page Veerashaiva by a sockpuppet User:RationalIndia. I don't know how can such sockpuppets come, disrupt pages and block real ones from editing. This is not good for a democratic space which wikipedia is ought to be.

Thank You ! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 10:14, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

The block on your account was placed by a local administrator. EPIC (talk) 10:20, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Baseless allegations against me ,;

I wanted to highlight ;

I made only two edits on Lingayatism that to revert only

1) PerspicazHistorian vandalised the article I just reverted it [2]

2) Today He moved the page without discussion, I just reverted it.

Recently his POV pork Lingayat Vani article also deleted [3], He is trying to POV on Caste related articles, and trying to request page protection multiple times which is declined by admins. 私は日本が大好きです (talk) 10:25, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

1) its okay, I will edit it after block ends, but please check if these both users are same. They seem to be same and disrupt articles.

2)He is currently disrupting Bharatiya_Janata_Party,_Karnataka : User:私は日本が大好きです and User:RationalIndia might be sockpuppets. Please look into the issue or direct me how can i raise it somewhere if I have such option.

Thank You ! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 10:25, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Can you give diff link , which I disrupted articles, also if you have evidence against me then prove it, It is you vandalised the articles , Your POV article is recently deleted after enough discussion. Also Lingayatism page move request is declined previously[4] , but still you moved without starting discussion 私は日本が大好きです (talk) 10:30, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
