== Seeking a contact point ==

Jimbo, do you know a WMF account on English Misplaced Pages that serves as a contact point for people involved in WMF grant administration? There's ] over at the Admin Noticeboard about a sitebanned user being entrusted with thousands of dollars in a WMF grant to help run a global contest. Obviously, this creates trust issues. I'd like to start a discussion at the village pump or elsewhere on site about maybe petitioning to have something added to the UCOC or a policy created regarding how grants are administered to people who've been banned from editing on a Wikimedia project (unless there is already explicit guidance for this). I'm not asking for your personal opinion here (unless you want to share), I just want to know what the most relevant WMF en.wiki account would be to ping for a discussion. -] (]) 07:59, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

:I think that ] is on the relevant team. There's probably a way to reach the whole team over at Meta-Wiki. ] (]) 02:08, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

    Request for unlock

    Hello! Is it possible to unlock me in kk-wiki? An illiterate admin blocked me, because I asked him frequently not to input intentionally mistakes in articles and not to be jealous to other users' contribution. Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 17:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

    I think that this user is grossly abusing admin rights, when he deletes my comments on his talk page and bans me when I try to recover them. --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 19:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

    When I said him that using nonexistent words was illiteracy by itself (here, 38); he used in his answer very inadequate phrase: Еріккен сарт енегін уқалайды, which had no correlation to anything, and may be considered racist and sexist as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ерден Карсыбеков (talk • contribs) 21:52, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

    Does Misplaced Pages support such illiterate and inadequate users? --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 10:40, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

    Hello @Ерден Карсыбеков! I won't be able to help you, but you might get someone to help you if you ask at the Teahouse or the Help Desk. I hope your conflict gets solved! 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 👋❤️ (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔🤔) 03:53, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
    Oh, thank you. --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 08:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

    I think also that it would be good if such inadequate admins would be informed (regularly) about their rights and obligations. --Ерден Карсыбеков (talk) 13:52, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

    Important Notice

    This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

    You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

    To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
