This page hosts requests for requesting administrator access on the Meta-Wiki; for requesting administrator access on any other wiki, please see the index of request and proposal pages, where a Steward can do the job if required. Bureaucrat, checkuser and bot requests are also made here. Before making a request here, please see the administrator policy.

Requests should be listed here for at least seven days. Bureaucrats should close only after the closing time, unless the consensus is clear and they did not vote. Adminship will be granted by a majority of at least 75%. If a request hasn't been addressed by a bureaucrat after a lengthy period of time, please leave a note at Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. Requests may be extended, or put on hold by bureaucrats, pending decision or finding of consensus.

All editors with an account on Meta, at least one active account on any Wikimedia project, and a link between the two, may participate in any request and give his/her opinion of the candidate. However, more active Meta editors' opinions may be given additional weight in controversial cases.

See below for information on prerequisites on submitting a request, and how to add a nomination.

[edit] Information

[edit] Regular adminship

  1. Before requesting admin access, please ensure you meet all of the minimum criteria:
    • You have at least 100 valid contributions on another Wikimedia project.
    • You have at least 100 valid contributions on the Meta-Wiki.
    • You are an administrator on another Wikimedia project.
    • You have a user page on Meta, with links to your user pages on other projects you participate in.
    • You have a valid contact address (either a confirmed email address in your preferences, or a valid email address on your user page).
  2. Edit your user page on the non-Meta project while logged in to that account to prove that it is linked to the Meta-Wiki account. For example, add a link to your Meta account or explicitly note that the two accounts are owned by the same person.
  3. Place a request on this page, by transcluding a subpage, for example {{Meta:Requests for adminship/Example}}. Please put the newest request on the top. Bear in mind that even if you do meet the criteria above this does not mean that the community will automatically approve a request. Please add a minimum ending date to the election, allowing a full 7 day period from the first timestamp.

[edit] Bureaucratship

Add your request below under the bureaucratship section. Please note:

  • only administrators can become bureaucrats, and only after 3 months of regular adminship
  • The requesting of bureaucratship does not require any voting, so can be processed by a current bureaucrat at any time

[edit] Other access

  • Temporary adminship: If you need temporary sysop access for a particular reason (such as ability to edit protected pages), you may request temporary adminship on meta. In this case, adminship shall be granted with no requirements and approval, but the user will promise to limit their activity to the necessity of what they asked for. Temporary sysop access will normally be valid for one month.
  • Bot: please read the Bot policy and add your request below under the bot section, in the same way as an admin request.
  • Checkuser: please read the CheckUser policy and add your request below under the checkuser section, in the same way as an admin request.

[edit] Erwin

Ending: 21:24, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm nominating myself for adminship. I'm Erwin, which is my SUL username with conflicts, but use the name Erwin85 for my toolserver account, pywikipedia access and on IRC. I'm a bureaucrat on nlwiki, my home wiki, and a sysop on nds-nlwiki and nlwikibooks.

I'm requesting adminship to help fight cross wiki spam, i.e. be able to edit the spam blacklist. I do this both by live monitoring of the relevant IRC channels and by checking automated bot reports. Being an administrator would help when catching a spammer red handed. Although I do plan to continue checking reports, which may be a few hours or days old.

A list of my active user accounts is available at User:Erwin/Matrix and I have more than 100 contributions here. Global contributions: Erwin - Erwin85

Regards, Erwin(85) 21:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


Oppose - sorry but looking through your edits, you really don't have much cross-wiki edits and nearly 50% of your 261 edits is to your userspace. Meta will become a very powerful wiki in a couple of months and we would prefer a person with a lot more experience on Meta...--Cometstyles 22:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mardetanha

Ending: 16:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Self-nomination.i have been into meta since some month's ago , and up to this moment i had plenty of edit which is around 300 hundered in meta.i am admin on fawiki fawikt and fawikiq and wikimania for helping to fingt vandals.and recent otrs member. i think as a jimmy said"I just wanted to say that becoming a sysop is *not a big deal*" adminship is not big deal"

So I would like sysop tools mostly for dealing with vandalism (I often come across vandals that I am unable to stop), as well helping out with any administrator backlogs.I am also on IRC for a few hours each day, so I can easily be contacted there.at the end i think it would a good time for me to serve here as sysop.--Mardetanha talk 16:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Support No reason not to, Majorly (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Support Of course. He proved himself as a trustworthy contributor. --Millosh 21:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose - I'm not really happy about all your RfAs on the above mentioned wikis since most were done on wikis that were very much inactive and which really didn't need sysops and the method in which it was done really did confuse all the stewards, so I'm not really going to support you yet, we already have one farsi speaking admin on Meta, and I haven't heard of any administrator backlogs on Meta or vandalism spree yet..sorry..--Cometstyles 21:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support e.c. 21:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Good translation work for which many thanks. However there is no real work in areas that would require admin tools as far as I can see. No vandalism reverts & just three pages tagged for deletion. Based on what I have seen of you I see no need for admin tools & so find myself agreeing with Comet. I Oppose for now, thanks --Herby talk thyme 07:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support I know Mardetanha throw his activities in Persian wikis. I believe he is trusted and qualified in that user communities. I hope to see acceptable activities on meta. Sajad 14:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Support Masti 20:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
  • ok I'm sure you can do the job :) Cary Bass demandez 06:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support I share the qualms that Cometstyles mentioned above, but I guess fawiki is not such a small community and obviously you are interested in doing administrative stuff, so why not here too. --Thogo (talk) 09:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I would be extremely happy to see another Persian speaking admin on Meta. You've done much good work everywhere, but frankly, your admin experience is limitted to the few months you've been an admin on Fa Wikipedia (other wikis on which you're an admin don't give you much experience). Also, you're still not good with some other things you've done on meta: Your translations are not good, a previous request of yours resulted in much confusion of Stewards. So in short, although I believe you're a good user and you'll get a Meta adminship sooner or later (and if you fail this nomination, I may nominate you later myself) I think now is too soon for you to get an adminship here. You need to get more familiarized with traditions and policies. Huji 13:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose mainly per Cometstyles and also because adminship on Meta could be a big deal: a single mistake can affect hundreds of wikis. --Brownout(msg) 15:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Support, maybe there're no backlogs and we already have one Farsi-speaking admin, but that's not a reason — VasilievV 2 15:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose, per Brownout. Meta has various pages that can potentially cause problems for most of Wikimedia's projects if they are mishandled. Nakon 01:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Support definitely. We keep learning even after promoted. es:Drini 21:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • samþykkt, I hesitated long here. While some things of the opposers might be right, he is always willing to help and to learn. Actions on Meta have great impact, but too many people are watching! I hope he will not be one of the admins complaining there is nothing to do on Meta ;) --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for bureaucrat access

[edit] EVula

Hey, since we've apparently made it so any admin in good standing can request to be a bureaucrat (see Meta talk:Requests for adminship#Radical idea, for those not in the know), I'd like to go ahead and give it a whirl. :)

I'm currently a bureaucrat on Wikispecies, an administrator on the English Wikipedia and Commons, and a bureaucrat of the Half-Life Wikia. I have been an administrator on Meta since October 23, 2007[1] and am (as far as I know...) in good standing here. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Done [you know, you don't need to give a speech - just "MAKE ME BUROCAT NOW PLZ" will do :)] Majorly (talk) 22:00, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
You have no idea just how tempted I was to say something like "POWER!! UNLIMITED... POWER!!"). EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thogo (talk)

Seeing the coming workload when SUL gets enabled for all users, I would like to help out with renamings and the like. I'm sysop here since about 9 months (and I consider me active). --Thogo (talk) 22:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Done Majorly (talk) 22:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hillgentleman

I want to be a bureaucrat, please. I am reasonable. Hillgentleman 00:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Done Majorly (talk) 00:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I am requesting bureaucrat access to help out with SUL when needed. Nakon 00:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Done Majorly (talk) 00:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nick1915

If you want, I could help out with SUL and renaming issues. I'm sysop here since 1 year--Nick1915 - all you want 01:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Done Majorly (talk) 01:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cometstyles

Hi, I would Like to help out with renaming users and when SUL is available to all, the influx it may create be quite helpful in that and I'm quite trustworthy, atleast that's what my therapist said :p ..--Cometstyles 04:02, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Done ~Kylu (u|t) 04:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Huji

Hello. It can be a pain to deal with right-to-left language usernames when SUL becomes available and people from such languages make related requests. So I thought, I may be able to help out. I'm good in Persian and Arabic, and can deal with other RTL stuff too. Huji 09:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I forgot to add that I'm aware I haven't been a Meta sysop for any longer than a month and a half; I've been a MediaWiki developer for a long time and a sysop on some other projects (including Simple English Wikipedia and Persian Wikipedia) for long enough, to have the honor of being trusted by you. Huji 09:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Not done for now. I'd rather be consistent with who we promote and not promote, and you haven't been an admin for 3 months yet. When you have 3 months experience, I'll be very happy to promote you. Majorly (talk) 09:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
No problem. Anyways, if anyone got stuck with an RTL item, I'm ready to help as far as I can. Huji 11:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Meno25

Please add me as a bureaucrat. I believe that I will be helpful in managing any RTL SUL renames (see above section) as I am a native Arabic speaker. Thanks. --Meno25 14:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Done Majorly (talk) 14:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nishkid64

Please make me a bureaucrat. I would like to help with SUL, promotions and renames here. Nishkid64 (talk) 20:20, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Done Granted 'crat status by User:Cbrown1023 on 22:19, April 26, 2008 --Az1568 23:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Anonymous Dissident

What with all the other 'crats that have been promoted, I'm certainly not needed. But, after some thinking, I've decided that there's simply no harm in it. Why not? --Anonymous DissidentTalk 07:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Done..Granted, Please make sure you don't abuse it :P ..--Cometstyles 07:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] James F.

Well, it's certainly true that we're about to have more Bureaucrats than any other wiki, but... I'd like to help out with SUL on the ground, rather than just the ages-old interminable discussions we all had. Also, this is an interesting experiment in community shape, and I'm curious to see as to how it will turn out. So, please might I have Bureaucrat permissions for meta?

James F. (talk) 22:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
