Wikipedia:VRT noticeboard

Welcome to the VRT noticeboard

Wikimedia's volunteer response team (VRT) handles copyright permissions, email inquiries from the public, reuse inquiries, article errors, and a wide range of non-public inquiries. The email service is operated and managed by a cross-project team of volunteers at the Meta-Wiki level and not by the English Wikipedia community. Actions by VRT members on English Wikipedia are ultimately subject to review by the Arbitration Committee. Please be aware that there is sometimes a backlog in processing tickets sent to the permissions-en queue. This backlog is currently 0 days. This noticeboard is primarily for Permissions verification and inquiries for text and files (hosted on the English Wikipedia) said to have been granted permission via VRTS. Requests for VRT member review of matters that have been described as VRT comments or actions. Other inquiries to VRT members that do not involve, disclose or reference private material. Do not post Private information or links to private information (including but not limited to emails, phone numbers, physical addresses). Fishing requests (asking for all details of a ticket or generally probing ticket information). You should make a specific request and clearly state the reason for your request. Additional questions on a point, once a VRT member has indicated they cannot answer due to privacy issues. (Further inquiries and any complaints should be made via email.) Requests for VRTS access (use meta:VRT/Volunteering instead). Questions regarding media hosted on Wikimedia Commons (use Commons:Volunteer Response Team/Noticeboard instead). Media questions unrelated to VRT (use Wikipedia:Media copyright questions instead). Disputes For disputes over VRT actions on English Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team § Dispute resolution and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution § Sensitive issues and functionary actions.

Unblock request by M66JX

Bringing the unblock request at User talk:M66JX to this board's attention--a previous unblock request was declined as stale, and this one has now sat open for a month. The block log cites a VRT ticket, which I expect contains evidence of paid editing, but I would appreciate if a VRT member could confirm and respond to the unblock request appropriately. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:41, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

You'll need one of the users with access to the specific queue. See WP:COIVRT#Users with access. — JJMC89 (T·C) 23:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Rosguill, you won't be able to get any help from VRT noticeboard as noted above by JJMC89. The users active around this board usually have access to the permissions queue only. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 13:17, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
