Note, cu has already been removed by the user himself.
  • Remove Remove Inactive since 2007-12-26. Suggest also removing checkuser tool if it hasn't been used too (I'm not too sure what the policy on the checkuser tool is, but it does get removed after a length of inactivity.) Majorly (talk) 01:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    I think all rights should be confirmed simultaneously. If the user is active either as an administrator or as a checkuser, they should not be removed for inactivity. Similarly, remove both if they're inactive. —{admin} Pathoschild 02:21:10, 01 April 2008 (UTC)
    With the exception of steward, right? What I'm saying is to remove both anyway. Majorly (talk) 02:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    Steward access is not based on Meta election, so it's not subject to Meta confirmation. —{admin} Pathoschild 02:27:37, 01 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Remove Remove - He is very active on English Wikinews but he hasn't made a single edit on Meta-Wiki this year, His last admin action was 3rd November and steward action (which doesn't count) on 20th December, if he is willing to be active here, he can keep the tools but otherwise, I don't think he needs the sysop tools on Meta and some stewards do quite well without the sysop tools like Darkoneko ..--Cometstyles 05:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Remove Remove for inactivity, and someone should check the CU logs. I'd say if it's close to a year, remove that too. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 05:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    He performed a series of checks on 13–16 March 2007. According to the logs, he's otherwise never used his checkuser access. —{admin} Pathoschild 17:28:32, 01 April 2008 (UTC)
    According to the checkuser policy, it should automatically be removed after a year of inactivity. Pathoschild, would you mind checking the other checkusers here for activity? Thanks, Majorly (talk) 17:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    Okay, will do. —{admin} Pathoschild 17:55:44, 01 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks EVula for the note. I intend to be more active on meta in the coming months. Other responsibilities have led me to neglect Meta, but I intend to change that :). I can not really remember why I have checkuser, but since meta has gotten local checkusers I have not used it and it should be removed, as I have done. --Cspurrier 17:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Remove Remove planning to be active is not the same as being so. I'm sure when the user is active again seeking the rights will be fine. (CU will have been granted for "log access" and is no longer valid as there is no cross wiki log) --Herby talk thyme 06:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Clarification: Wikitech shows his last activity as 23 August 2007 [1] and he apparently no longer has SVN access [2][3] since May 2006. No logged actions on Meta [4] at all. Further input from other developers would be appreciated. ~Kylu (u|t) 01:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Kate [edit]

  • Remove Remove - Kate is vaguely "around" but isn't using the tools. I consider this user inactive as an administrator. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 05:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral Neutral Well, Kate is a steward, so the question of his adminship here has no relevance in my eyes. FiLiP ¤ 09:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
    • He has recently denied even being a steward... Majorly (talk) 11:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
      • What do you mean? That he has the steward flag as developer? ('cause that I recall) Snowolf How can I help? 13:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral Neutral Pretty inactive. Majorly (talk) 11:11, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Remove Remove - well he is a developer and can change his rights via the server and the Steward flag is not an important issue, since he believes he is not a Steward, but he assigned himself as a steward to make his workload bearable..--Cometstyles 14:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral Neutral per Dungodung --Fabexplosive The archive man 16:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Keep per Dungodung.--Ahonc 15:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Neutral Neutral inactive. When he needs the tools, he can easily either ask someone in the IRC channel, or make himself sysop with his steward buttons. --Thogo (talk) 16:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC) Changed to neutral, per Aphaia.

  • Keep Keep Developer trumps inactivity guidelines, in my estimation. EVula // talk // // 01:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Kate is a developer who is not that active on meta unlike Brion and because of that I believe he doesn't need adminship status here, and BTW since he is a dev, he can temporarily assign himself as a sysop to make changes to MediaWiki related changes and remove it when not in use..--Cometstyles 02:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Yes, but that's an extra step that, frankly, I don't see much point in forcing them to do. Trustworthiness is definitely not an issue here, only their inactivity; I choose to disregard that issue, though I certainly won't act like I don't understand why someone else may not make the same choice. If Kate wasn't a developer, I'd be singing a whole different tune. EVula // talk // // 19:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Keep - Not completely inactive. Korg 16:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

10 keep, 4 remove

    • Kept, The user is an active dev that needs to use the tool time and again to fix the MediaWiki errors on multiple wikis which can be done easily through Meta (71%) ..--Cometstyles 12:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Keep. I was hesitant at supporting this, simply because it would seem like a "support: he's a friend" vote. I do, however, honestly think Majorly's being sysopped has a positive effect on Meta. Sure, he's very robust in his word choice, and isn't afraid to state his mind. Perhaps he's a little controversial. Per Nishkid, however, he's not abusive, and indeed, is a great admin. Fully support his being reconfirmed. Anthøny 10:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • By Majorly's request, I checked how active the checkusers on Meta were. According to the logs, Redux has never used his checkuser access. —{admin} Pathoschild 18:02:08, 01 April 2008 (UTC)
    • In that case, I suggest that while he should be kept as an admin, he should remove his checkuser right. Majorly (talk) 20:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Was it granted the normal way? Or was it granted as a steward, like we did for some others (who already were removed)... If the latter, there is no reason in my view at this time to keep it, regardless of any other outcomes, as stewards used to have it to get access to the global log. The log is no longer global, hence no need. ++Lar: t/c 22:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

    Note: I've gone ahead and taken care of the CU bit myself (here). It is indeed true that circumstances on Meta have changed, and it is no longer necessary for Stewards to be on standby as local CUs, now that we have active, regular users filling the shoes.
