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

[edit] Rokaszil@ffwikipedia

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

This page doesn't exist. Alex Pereira ^falaê 18:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Alex is referring to the discussion page linked above ( ff:iscussion_utilisateur:Rokaszil )... is there a chance it's actually somewhere else? ++Lar: t/c 06:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I haven't got the talk page in Fulfulde Wikipedia. I have got the talk page in Lithuanian Wikipedia. Rokaszil 10:58, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

[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)

Sounds reasonable to me, how long do you need the rights for? Would a week be enough? a month? Let us know. ++Lar: t/c 06:11, 27 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)

Sounds okay for me to give permanent access. Removed from Steward requests/Permissions/Approved temporary. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Agreed (for the record). ++Lar: t/c 06:11, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

[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)

  Shouldn't it be extended, I mean there are not enough votes according the policy ? Huib talk 19:13, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

  Just for those few votes? There is no vote against him for a month, but if there is realy a problem we can do it once more :). --WizardOfOz 19:40, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Note:Extended until 12-15-2009 even if there is no need. --WizardOfOz 19:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for extending the vote. Policy is clear on this, you need 25-30 votes and 70-80% support for a checkuser election to be valid. 20 votes are not enough. See CU#Access_to_CheckUser. I hope that helps clarify matters, this is not a debatable point. ++Lar: t/c 19:23, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Lucas Teles@ptwikipedia

On wiki.pt, Lucas Teles was elected for a one-year term. User already been told to send the confirmation of his real identity as shown in this diff. Thanks. Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 01:13, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Waiting for Cary' response--Nick1915 - ^{all you want} 11:28, 29 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)

Not sure why he hasn't responded to this request yet but I thought I would point out his user page where he seems to reference the request. More time is rarely bad though so :) Jamesofur 20:59, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Thanks for your job. Alex Pereira ^falaê 11:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dantadd@ptwiki

 Done Thanks.--Nick1915 - ^{all you want} 00:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks @lestaty ^discuţie 00:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

• It was a mistake, could you revert this situation, please? That user was under medic licence with a several disease. Now he is better and can edit again. Thank you. For more information about that please have a look at [5] (in Portuguese) FML 14:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not a mistake. The user was desysopped in accordance with the local policy of administrative inactivity, because he made less than 50 administrative actions in the last 180 days. Thanks. Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 14:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC) (local bureaucrat)

No, we cannot revert it. Granting userrights is up to local bureaucrats only. Please solve that internally on ptwiki. --თოგო ^(D) 15:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] NonvocalScream@simplewikipedia

Please remove the administrative access. Thank you. NonvocalScream 21:44, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

 Not done - simple wikipedia has asked that this be handled by local 'crats, and local 'crats can remove sysop. Please contact a local 'crat. Laaknor 22:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
