Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

[edit] Using this page

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below:

   ====user name@xxproject====
   {{sr-request
    |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
    |domain    =
    |user name =
    |discussion= 
   }}
   (your remarks) ~~~~
   

2. Fill in the values:
   • 'domain': the wiki's URL domain (like "ex.wikipedia" or "meta.wikimedia").
   • 'user name': the name of the user whose rights are to be changed (like "Exampleuser"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
   • 'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").
3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

[edit] Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

[edit] Administrator access

Hello! I want admin rights in Fulfulde Wikipedia because I can help for this. User Guaka isn't active administrator in this Wikipedia.

[edit] Nesnad@chr.wikipedia

Hello! I think that one of the things slowing down input on the Cherokee Wikipedia is that many people don't know how to input the non-roman characters into the computer. A helpful user on the Navajo Wikipedia has taught me how to create an input bar (that is in use on Navajo Wikipedia) for use on Cherokee Wikipedia. I request temporary Admin rights so I can impliment this, in the hope of making Cherokee Wikipedia easier to use for those who do not know how to setup a Cherokee keyboard and what not. Thanks in advance, wado. Nesnad 13:26, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] seagull.stefanos@el.wikiquote

As you have probably noticed, the 3 permanent administrators in Greek Wikiquotes (or "Βικιφθέγματα") are inactive (don't work for the project any more). For this reason, last March, I asked for temporary permission. The first 3-month permission (27.3 until 27.6.2009) was extended for an extra 5 month period, which expires tomorrow. Recently I put this problem under discussion in the Community Discussion Page of Βικιφθέγματα, asking for "votes". Until now 4 people have vote positively ("support"), most of them are administrators of the Greek Wikipedia. Among them is also "Θεόδωρος", one of the three inactive admins I mentioned before. So... could you, please, give me permanent permission? You have probably to know that, in fact, during these last 8 months, I'm the only one who take care of the Greek Wikiquotes, adding plenty of new articles and cheching if everything goes right in the project... --Seagull.Stefanos 08:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucrat access

[edit] Marmzok@ckb.wikipedia

I got admin access now, but we have no user with Bureaucrat accesses. You said: "A small community generally doesn't require a local bureaucrat, because stewards can easily handle the low traffic of requests from that wiki with little delay; generally a user with this access is not needed until several local administrators are present.". Now we need a steward for give a bot flag but even we dont know how to find him. Thus I repeat my request for Bureaucrat access. Kind Regards --Marmzok 07:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

For bot access, please make a request here and a steward will respond and act accordingly. This is  Not done. --FiliP ██ 22:11, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] CheckUser access

[edit] Smooth O@bs.wiki

Election done. --WizardOfOz 09:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

User is not yet identified to the WMF. This needs to be done before access can be granted. I've posted information about the procedure at his talk page. --Erwin 09:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Note: this user requested CU rights in last month: Steward requests/Permissions/2009-10#Smooth O@bs.wikipedia. LeinaD (t) 17:00, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

• Note:@ Leinad and he was elected by the rules of bs.wiki. Dungodung wanted more votes and so we extended the election. The result are 10 more votes of support and two which doesn´t count (not enough edits by election rules). It is the same election just extended.--WizardOfOz 18:22, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

  I think this is fine now, as the support for this user is quite obvious. --FiliP ██ 22:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bocianski@plWikipedia

 Done - thank you for your service to the Polish Wikipedia. Your rights on be-x-old:wp have not been modified. ++Lar: t/c 03:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] sjc@enWikipedia

After a number of recent unpleasant experiences with Wikipedia, I am of the opinion that I no longer wish to be associated in any way with the project whatsoever; I can only reflect on what a pleasure it was in the early days and what a deeply divided, hostile and abusive community it has now become. I request herewith admin status removal as I won't be needing it again. Sjc 09:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC) (BTW my global account does not appear to be very global and probably needs bugging)

Please, make an edit in your talk page on enwp, about this request. Thanks. Alex Pereira ^falaê 12:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Manning Bartlett@enwiki

Done. Thank you for your work. --M/ 13:38, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Amdf@mhr.wikipedia

Hello. After the local voting our community decided to remove administration access of user Amdf. The election started 10/11/2009 and ended 19/11/2009. 50% has voted agains this user, while the user needs 2/3 of all votes to become an administrator. Thanks. ПешСай 17:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Isn't clear to us. Amdf did have your temp sysop flag extended to May 15 2010, make a local announcement here. Alex Pereira ^falaê 12:44, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Amdf post a message to prolong his administrative access. But we begun a local voting. The result of the voting is to give administrative access for user ПешСай, and to remove access for user Amdf (because two of four votes are agains). I have made an announcement here. --ПешСай 18:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

You are doing very strange things, I think. I don't know why you want to remove my temporary sysop access after all my work in mhr wikipedia. I want to havem my temp sysop rights until May 15 2010, and I will not ask to prolong it after. амдф 18:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

The voting have made such decision. It is not comfortable for our community to have administrator, who don't know native language at all. And I have told you(Amdf) that you have made you work with mistakes, after which we spend a time to fix them.--ПешСай 19:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Are sure that having two administrators is not better than just one, at least for a limited amount of time? If you abstain, User:Amdf has 2/3 of votes. As you know, Stewards will not decide for your community, but given that it's a small one, I think that most of us will feel much more confortable if you decide to cooperate in order to achive the best results. Thank you, M/ 12:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am sure. Mhr wikipedia is not too big to have several administrators. One admin will be able to watch and track whole activity in project. I don't want to abstain in the vote. I wouldn't be so insistent if Amdf's work was definitly good. Amdf have made mistakes, and doesn't know language at all. This two points let down development of Mhr Wikipedia. Stewards, please make attention to the fact, that this is the wish of community and the result of voting. Thanks. --ПешСай 17:10, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I will fullfill this request, after having jotted down that the only other user opposing User:Amdf had 83 edits at the date of the poll. A CU was negative. Any comments from other stewards? --M/ 17:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

If Amdf don't help mhr:wp, he don't need tools. Don't speak local language, to me, isn't a problem... Alex Pereira ^falaê 18:28, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

What is the problem, Guys? This is the local voting. The rule in the voting says that participate may anyone, who had made at lease one edit in Main namespaces before the start of the voting. --ПешСай 19:40, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't afraid that I'm a spamer or any other bad guy. I'm don't. I have translated the whole most used messages for Mhr:wp, and have made a lot of affords in incubator. So, it is my interest to make Wp:Mhr better. And I don't understand why you are delaying the decision made by the community during the voting.--ПешСай 19:49, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm taking the time that I think is needed, please don't pressure! 32 other Stewards have the same right that I have, but this is not an urgent matter and the community vote involves 4 users, and I'm wondering also if this may be a really small number for granting and also for removing rights.

@Alexander, I can count over 100 log lines for this sysop. --M/ 23:36, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Done and notified on talk page. --M/ 16:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. --ПешСай 18:39, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hamham,Dersonlwd,Farm@zhwikip

All of the 3 sysops have asked for removal of their access at zhwikip, see the discussion links. --Kegns 10:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the flag. Please thank all three users for their work as sysop on zh.wikipedia. --M/ 12:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Razorflame@simplewikt

Please remove both my sysop and bureaucrat bits. Thanks, Razorflame 02:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done - Per your request (note that this was corrected to remove the request to remove Global Rollback, so that was not removed). Thank you for your service to the projects. ++Lar: t/c 02:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Restored per your request on IRC. —Pathoschild 02:22:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done again. After further discussion with Pathoschild and other stewards, I have removed the bits again. A request to remove bits can be granted by Stewards. A request to restore them, even if given in 1 minute after the request was handled, cannot be. It is up to the community process to restore them to the user. Razorflame, speak to a local bureaucrat about restoring your permissions.

Note, if necessary, we can have a discussion about this, should there be a needed clarification of policy, but it is my view that this is the current situation. ++Lar: t/c 02:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
