Chinese Wikipedia SPI clerk nomination[edit]

Dear Stewards,

It has been two years since the SPI noticeboard opened on Chinese Wikipedia. I am thrilled to present you with one proposed new SPI clerk, 94rain (talk · contributions · deleted user contributions · recent activity · logs · block log · global contribs · CentralAuth), to the team. They have received multiple endorsements from community members, SPI clerks and sysops.

Just like last time, the clerk nomination is to be made public here at the Stewards' noticeboard for seven days before taking the position, in case any stewards would have any opinions on the credibility of the above users. They will take their position as SPI clerk from March 6, 2024 if no opposing opinions arise.

If you have any comments about the listed nominees, please do not hesitate to leave your comment below. cc Stewards who actively helped with zhwiki CheckUser requests: @Sotiale, -revi, علاء, AmandaNP and Martin Urbanec.

Like it or not, as one of the most involved stewards there, I support the nominated candidate. --Sotiale (talk) 14:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No opposition from me! Superpes15 (talk) 18:21, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LuciferianThomas: FYI: -revi is no longer a steward so there are no need to ping him. GZWDer (talk) 14:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. Thanks for the notice. LuciferianThomas 05:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since there are no oppositions, 94rain is now an SPI clerk on zhwiki. LuciferianThomas 02:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

I wanted to leave a shout out and a thank you to the newly elected stewards who have taken it upon themselves to clear persistent backlogs like the one over at SRG. I think we have elected a great group of new stewards, and I'd like to commend them and the entire steward team for all the time and effort they spend as volunteers for the global Wikimedia movement.

+1 on this --Ferien (talk) 21:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
+2. This stuff is very time-consuming (something I could never do). SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 00:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problem cross-project user with fraudulent userpage[edit]

This userpage (created at Wikimedia 21 November 2023) copies affiliations etc. from User:Aimeabibis, including a claim to be the treasurer of LesSansPages. (Here for example you can see clear evidence that Aimeabibis is an active member of said group; कटासमुला is not even on their list of members.)

The user in question is recently (Feb. 29) blocked at Commons for creating bad categories there and participating in a promotional hoax that Abdel Nasser, head of AlHakawi News and AlAgha Group, won "the" Academy Award in 2023. NOTHERE and etc. HouseOfChange (talk) 18:41, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it. — JJMC89(T·C) 19:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
