Stock car racing:Blocking policy

Blocking it is an action that prevents editing to a user account, an, or a range of IP addresses. Some of the additional privileges of the librarians and bureaucrats are also affected by blocking; see effects be locked.

The locks are often used to avoid the vandalism and to enforce the policy. Below lists other situations grounds for blocking. In all cases the blocking is a preventive measure before punitive and only serves to prevent damage to.

All user you can inform the librarians about violations of policies committed by another user, which could lead to a blockage. For complaints related to vandalism in the course please contact Stock car racing:Vandalism in progress. For denounce violations of the Wikietiquete, wars of editions or vandalism that is not in progress there are specific sections in the bulletin board to the library.

Users blocked will be able to request your unlock on your page discussion. To do so, they can use the template reason, which has the advantage of include automatically your page in a category maintenance, where you can be view more easily for review. A librarian different that applied the measure of blocking, will review the argumentation exposed, and, according to the criteria discussed below (here a link), access, will decline or be subject to consultation by the community request. The librarian may also translate this result in the template unblock reviewed.

Vandalism
The administrators can block the IP addresses of those users who vandalize Though there is a general rule on the duration of the lock, which you can go from several minutes up to one or several days, more common is that the lock is 31 hours or less. In general the vandals occasional give them several warnings before of be blocked. However, in cases of deliberate vandalism with intended to discredit Wikipedia or as a means of propaganda will proceed directly to the lock, without warning.

The admins can also block user accounts new to undertake a great number of editions disturbing alter the normal functioning of and/or the activity of the rest of wikipedians. Reincarnations (new accounts) of these users will be blocked again if they continue performing the same type of issues disturbing.

You can to distinguish between vandalism, mild and severe. The gravity will be taken into account in function of if the vandalism is done for a static IP, dynamic, or a registered user; the type of vandalism and recidivism.

To alert on vandalism in progress: Stock car racing:Vandalism in progress.

Wars of editions
The admins will be able to block users who violate the rule of three reversals. When multiple parties violate the rule, librarians shall treat all users involved by the same.

To alert on wars of editions: Plank wars editions.

Attacks personal
Are reasons blocking threats to other users or any action (including if it is done outside of ) that expose it to other editors Wikipedia to a persecution on political, religious or another type by the government, their bosses, work or other. In such cases you can apply a lock of any length of time.

To alert on serious violations or repeated tag: notice Board label.

Biographies of people alive
Publishers enter repeatedly critical material into the biography of a living person (or its discussion page), or in a section about a living person in another article (or in its discussion page), can be blocked if, in the opinion of the librarian that has been blocked, the material is not verifiable or incorrectly checked and may constitute an act of defamation.

Locks this type are made for the reason of keeping the material off the page until they are written and mentioned in sources in accordance with the policies of content. The repetition of violations will bring locks of longer duration.

Harassment and publication of personal details
The librarians can block IP addresses or user accounts that bully to other users, carry out attacks personal excessive and added material that can be defamatory. Usually the users will be warned before of be blocked.

Users who to publish personal details about other users without their consent may be blocked for any duration, including indefinitely, depending on the severity of the incident and if the incident is isolated or it is a fact that has been repeated. Not you must use this available on users verifiers of users, which can provide some type of information within the standards of the policy "checkuser".

The publication personal information can be deleted by following the policy Oversight.

Rape copyright and plagiarism
Add the work of other people to without permission or attribution it is unacceptable. The violation of copyright and plagiarism problems arise from moral, legal, and reputational.

If there is a discussion on whether a work can be used, the editors should strive to be cautious, and clear the working discussed the items until the matter is resolved. The editors that remain in enter material discussed, after being warned, may be blocked to protect the project. In cases where the publisher acts in good faith, showing caution with respect to issues of rights of author, and do not have a threat of legal imminent, the editor should not be blocked.

In accordance with the policy of user name, user names defamatory, deliberately confusing, insulting, advertising, and other inappropriate are not allowed, in certain circumstances, the librarians can block those user accounts. The names of users that have been created to usurp the identity of legitimate users can be blocked immediately and indefinitely.

To alert on names are not valid: Board misnomers and vandalism persistent.

Accounts public user
By convention Wikipedia should not create user accounts with a name specific to be used by several people. This equivalent to pass by a single individual within the Wikipedia, while hidden in the anonymity. They are called "accounts public user" and it is considered that there are necessary because any anonymous user can edit freely and easily create a user account without the need to mail - mail. An example of a user account is a public the account owner publishes the key to use general. This type of accounts may be blocked indefinitely.

Threat of legal actions
If threats with legal action over a dispute on Wikipedia, your account will be probably locked to avoid that you will continue editing and that the issue is compounded by other channels. Users that discharge threats legal will be blocked until these are resolved.

Users puppet
In the case of users puppets used to voting, for evade blockages or for other situations of prohibition, is will proceed to block them indefinitely.

Death
The account or user accounts of someone who has died may be blocked indefinitely for that are not used by third parties.

Other
Other reasons can lead to a crash are:


 * Spam


 * Sabotage


 * Proselytize


 * Conflict of interest

Effects of be blocked
Users and the blocked IP addresses are still seeing all the pages of the Wikipedia, but when you click on "Edit" appears the message block that explains the reason for such a lock and provides information on how to request the unlock. This page includes the message with the "reason" provided by the librarian who made the lock. Blocked users also can't move pages or upload files.

The duration the lock can be limited to a certain amount of time or indefinite (until it is unlocked explicitly).

When a user blocked you try to edit, the user's IP is also blocked automatically, so as to not be able to do the same editing anonymously or under a different user name. This lock machine has a variable duration, currently fixed in 24 hours. This means that when a user account is blocked indefinitely, their IP will be blocked automatically for 24 hours, counting from the last time I had access to a page.

For the librarians, the lock also restricts their abilities of quick rollback, delete, restore, pages, protect and unprotect pages. They can, however, add and remove locks.

Locks accidental
From time to time, users with dynamic IP addresses can be found with a lock accidental, due to that your current IP was used by a a registered user or as anonymous already locked. These locks go away if you can force the change of IP (for example, restarting the or ). If this is not possible, may report to a admin placing template unblock in the discussion of the IP and indicating the number that appears after the # symbol in the form lock.

Users who act in a manner similar to a user you previously blocked, or that seem to dedicate themselves to the vandalism, they can be blocked. For to avoid this problem, do not act in this way. It is a good practice edit to demonstrate its reliability, not to put a wall of mistrust.

When you should not use the lock
Use locks to gain an advantage in a discussion of content is strictly prohibited. That is to say, the librarians must not block the editors who are holding a dispute of content. It follows from this that librarians they should act with the utmost prudence to the terciar between wikipedians who have a conflict that could lead to a crash for one of them if I had a relationship of friendship or enmity with any of the two parties to the conflict. In case you have a friendship or enmity manifested with a wikipedian librarians should refrain from taking the decision to block or not to that a wikipedian.

You must exercise with caution before you to block users, because they can to be acting in good faith.

The librarians should not be locking themselves to perform tests if you have a dynamic IP, as you could be lead to a "lock" that affect other users.

How to block
The librarians must go to pages special and select "Lock users or addresses IP". This leads to Special:Blockip, where they are the instructions. In addition, this page is accessible from the link [Block] appears next to the names of the users on recent changes.

The "reason" is what the librarian added and will be shown at the user blocked when you try to edit; also appears in Special:Log/block and Special:Ipblocklist.

Users must be notified of your locks on its pages discussion. In this way, the other editors will be aware of that that user has been blocked, and will not wait responses on their discussion pages.

Times of expiry and application
Times expiration are entered using the standard format GNU, that is described in the manual tar (in English). A lock can be "for ever", which means that is permanent or indefinite, until a librarian to remove.

If you do not enter any expiration time, you will see a error message.

A user can be blocked by more than one library simultaneously. In that case, the user remains locked until the expiry of the lock shorter. For example, if a library blocks a user for a day, and another librarian locks the user for two days, the user will have the ability to edit after only a day.

For IP dynamic, the locks are by default of 31 hours. For IP static, the initial block is for 31 hours, but if the reason for blocking persists —vandalism, for example—, to as you increase the locks will increase gradually your duration. The accounts of a registered user they can be blocked for any time or permanently and users puppets created to violate the policies of Wikipedia must be blocked indefinitely.

Should not be hold locks without the users —anonymous or registered— you have been warned at least twice, and a last warning will be a warning level 3 —"By please, stop"— or 4 —"This is our last warning"—, or via "single Warning" in the case of edits or creations highly harmful. Not must block isolated cases of vandalism or when the editions vandalism have ceased after the last notice. Nor is block anonymous users whose actions vandalism have stopped hours or days ago, because the lock it is unnecessary because the purpose of the same —stop the vandalism— was achieved.

It is useful leave a note with the links that shows the user the lack committed in its discussion page.

Accounts public should be locked leaving a message indicating that they are not necessary. As an alternative, you will have to confirm if the key is public and change it to become private. This can be done by any user, not not necessarily a librarian.

In the case of bots, the initial block should last up to 24 hours, which should be enough time to allow your controller to respond.

Lock IP ranges
Locks IP ranges are sometimes applied when a user who has blocked the IP, re-act using an IP address different. In most cases, the locks ranges IP may affect some legitimate users. Therefore, this type of locks should only be used in cases ends, where other methods are ineffective.

Due to its technical difficulty, it is recommended to read meta:Range blocks.

Timeout
Users blocked can request that your account be unlocked by placing the template reason on its discussion and providing the reason for which it considered should be unlocked. You must wait for the review of a librarian, those who access or decline the request specifying a reason in the template unblock reviewed.

In Special:Ipblocklist, find the user you want to unblock and then on the link "unlock". You can also unlock it by going to your contributions and selecting "unlock" in the buttons tab fast located in the upper part. There you will also find the options to "change lock" and "crash log" that will help you have a more complete picture of the actions of the user before proceeding to lock or to unlock.

The librarians can be unlocked to themselves using the same procedure, but should not be done, except in the case of have been accidentally locked.

If you're in disagreement with a lock
If you are disagree with a lock, contact the librarian who made the lock. Considers that the blocked users commonly sent emails to various librarians stating that they are victims of a persecution for a librarian one-sided. As it is not always obvious to know what is the problem by viewing the list of contributions of the user blocked, it is a matter of courtesy and common sense consult the librarian who held the lock in place the jailbreak personally.

Locks controversial
While the blockages arising from vandalism simple and obvious is a routine, locks user accounts are more debatable.

Locks may be controversial:


 * Locks users puppets suspects or reincarnations of users expelled.


 * Locks user accounts veterans with a history of contributions valid, beyond the reason of the lock.


 * Locks made under the provisions of "disruption".


 * Locks, while you can be successful, lack a basis in the policy.


 * Decide about of the lock (either for or against the measure, and bring it to out) to users with which it maintains a relationship of friendship or enmity.

The procedure recommended for the locks issue is:


 * 1) Check the made with care.


 * 1) Rereads the parts appropriate policy locks.


 * 1) Performs the lock, taking special care in the message of "reason", and includes a link to the diff —if any— that generated the lock.


 * 1) Put a note explaining the reasons of the blockade on the discussion page the blocked user, with additional information, summarizing the facts and the part of the policy of blockade that you create apply.


 * 1) You must be willing to discuss the block with other wikipedians.

The "wars of locks", in which a user is repeatedly blocked and unblocked, are extremely harmful. They are a source of frustration and disappointment of many wikipedians veterans and tend to promote bad behavior on the part of the blocked user. Evítalas. If discrepas on a lock, discuss the matter with the librarian who made the lock and others, and attempt to reach a consensus, in place of unlock. Considers that the librarian who blocked you can find out more on the situation that led to the crash.
