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] Demmy@yo.wikipedia

I am requesting an extension to my sysop which expires tomorrow. I am the only active administrator on the wiki. Thanks. Demmy 16:15, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done for 3 months through 2010-03-01. Your last request on 2009-02-28 to prolong was based on the request shown above started in 2008. Since no one says anything after February 2009 with very limited active users there, I am extending for another 3 months.--Jusjih 21:56, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Jack Merridew@en.wikiquote

Sorry for the back and forth. They would like me back. Cheers, Jack Merridew 11:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

[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)

Have any announcement on local page? Alex Pereira ^falaê 16:05, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

User page? http://ff.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Rokaszil . Rokaszil 17:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

No, your local Village pump. What the community say about your request? Alex Pereira ^falaê 18:25, 3 December 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)

 Done to expire on 2010-01-02 as I see all existing two administrators being inactive. Please ask shortly before the end of this year if you need extension.--Jusjih 03:09, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the slow reply! And I think I should be able to get all the details furbished before the deadline, although will be back here to ask for an extension if not. So far it is looking good and I really hope this will inspire people to use Cherokee Wikipedia more. Cheers, Nesnad 17:36, 2 December 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] Thuvack@ts.wikipedia

Real life has given me a breather during the summer Holidays. I would like to contribute once more on work started in this wiki. Temporary admin rights can help frequent vandal in this wiki.Thank you! -- Thuvack 08:20, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

We'd rather you didn't use your temp admin rights to frequently vandalize :) ... (Yes, I know what you really meant but it was funny. )... No objections, seems reasonable enough. 6 months? ++Lar: t/c 11:25, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Jamesofur@ug.wikipedia

I'd like to request temporary sysop on ug wiki to clean out the deletion category (at ug:Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion) which is currently at 67 pages. I have made a post stating my intention to do this on wiki (see above link) I have no problem if you'd like to wait to see if there is an objection. I shouldn't need sysop for more then 10-15 minutes. Jamesofur 23:05, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

 Done — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 23:06, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

It takes longer to look at each of 67 deletion requests then you'd think!, Done now if someone could remove access and thanks Jamesofur 00:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

 more done Removed, thank you for your hard work. Kylu 00:05, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucrat access

[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)

  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)

Now Lucas is identified. Ruy Pugliesi^◥ 22:23, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done --FiliP ██ 23:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Момир Томић@sr.wikipedia

Per the above-referenced srwiki administration policy, "Одузимање администраторских права следи аутоматски након 18 месеци некоришћења истих." - sysop rights are automatically removed after 18 months of inactivity. Please remove sysop rights for sr:Корисник:Момир Томић, whose last admin action was on 13 May 2008. --Dzordzm 08:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellaneous requests

[edit] Dutch arbcom

Recently on nl.wikipedia a new group has been created for arbcom members. They have gotten the right to see deleted edits. I would like to request the current Arbcom members (see w:nl:Wikipedia:Arbitragecommissie/Leden) to be put in this group. They are: w:nl:Gebruiker:Paul B, w:nl:Gebruiker:CaAl, w:nl:Gebruiker:Groucho NL, w:nl:Gebruiker:Lolsimon, w:nl:Gebruiker:Robert, w:nl:Gebruiker:Taketa and w:nl:Gebruiker:Basvb. (Lolsimon and Taketa will not actually get any extra rights because they already have them because they are sysops, but I think it would be best to give them the group membership nevertheless). - Andre Engels 22:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Request withdrawn - I now hear that local bureaucrats should be able to do this. - Andre Engels 23:07, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
