[14:25:29] Hi dears [14:26:14] I had previously created an account on Wikipedia (English) called "Alireza-rezaee-org". There was no problem in editing English, but in other versions, such as Arabic or Persian, they canceled the entry. This makes it difficult to use a global account. [15:19:49] In Persian Wikipedia, like many other versions of Wikipedia, the entry with the username "org" was invalidated. I mean, I logged in easily with en.wikipedia.org, but I logged out automatically after changing the language. [15:21:25] Isn't this a bug or a mismatch between versions of Wikipedia? [15:26:18] Alireza-Rezaee: probably not. the policy for "invalid" user names on en.wikipedia says it is just for English Wikipedia on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy [15:27:14] so that sounds to me like each language community has their own policy [15:27:52] which would make sense because certain words might be considered offensive in one language / culture but totally not in another [15:27:53] I understand. That's why I changed. [15:29:13] To solve this problem, the first solution that came to my mind was to request a change of username. I waited for several days to change the account name, but finally decided to create an account with a new username, but the administrators did not pay attention to my description and blocked the account.In the description, it is written that [15:29:14] Ladsgroup, the administrator of Persian Wikipedia, has blocked me. [15:31:27] Now my new and original account with the username "Alireza-Rezaee.Iran" has been blocked due to a misunderstanding. [15:31:29] What should I do now? [15:34:13] Alireza-Rezaee: you can appeal to Ladsgroup directly and try to explain the misunderstanding [15:36:07] ways to contact him besides wiki can be email or IRC or a ticket on Phabricator [15:36:45] ThankfulI realized this difference is not a bug. [15:37:11] I realized [15:59:41] Trizek: heyheyhey I think you want to update.. [15:59:44] > There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. [16:00:06] (The article you edited about ten minutes ago @ meta) [16:02:17] Good catch. [16:02:25] Thank you revi [16:02:42] np XD [17:35:58] I just posted on Phabricator about this, but the repeated user session issues are embarrassing and approaching unprofessional. [18:47:53] mutante: I blocked the user's account as he's a banned user coming back [18:49:52] Amir1: ah, so it wasn't just that the username is an illegal string? banned for other things? [18:51:50] banned for other things [18:51:54] a season troll [18:52:00] ACK, thank you [18:52:01] *seasoned
