Warning The 2009 steward elections are finished. No further votes will be accepted.
Português :

A confirmação 2008-09 começará em 1.º de Fevereiro

As eleições para steward de 2008-09 são uma boa oportunidade para checar se nós estamos realmente satisfeitos com os nossos atuais stewards. Para tornar o processo o mais correto possível, aqui é que as coisas estão organizadas.

Durante as eleições de 2009, por favor indique se você está insatisfeito com algumas das pessoas abaixo listadas e porquê. Por exemplo, você pode mencionar inatividade ou comportamento negativo. Stewards inativos, como dito nas políticas dos stewards, perderão seus acessos de Steward.

No final das eleições, os atuais e recém-eleitos stewards analisarão as denúncias/menções colocadas nessa página, e escolherão a opção de remover o status de steward, se necessário, tendo em conta tanto os comentários deixados pela comunidade e sua própria perspectiva e entendimento do trabalho. Todos os stewards passarão por este processo depois de cada eleição.

  • Informações pessoais: Eu tenho sido uma steward desde 2004 e eu espero poder continuar sendo útil nesta área. Eu também sou menbro do Wikimedia:Advisory Board e ajudo com o Wikimania (julgamento e programa). Sou administradora no meta, na Wikipédia em inglês, e nas wikis do Advisory Board e da wikimedia foundation. Eu não tenho sido activa por que passei uma boa parte do último ano planeando meu casamento! Desde o casamento (em Novembro), eu voltei a ser bem mais activa nos projectos Wikimedia e pretendo continuar assim. As minhas principais áreas de actuação como steward são as mudanças de estatutos e a deleção de spam cross-wiki (um exemplo).Eu fico feliz em fazer outras tarefas de steward como os pedidos de SUL e de bloqueios globais, mas nos últimos meses, todos os pedidos deste género foram atendidos quase imediatamente por alguns stewards super-activos! Eu estou no #wikimedia-stewards se estiver no IRC e também posso ser facilmente contactada por e-mail em emergências, já que estou on-line 16 horas por dia.

  • Informações pessoais: Estou sendo steward desde a primeira eleição. Também sou administradora na fr.wiki, en.wiki e commons bem como sou burocrata na fr.wiki. Sou membro-fundadora da Wikimedia France e no passado recente foi membro do Conselho (e presidente!) da Wikimedia Foundation. Atualmente tenho editado mais na fr.wiki, assim como algumas pequenas colaborações no commons e no fr.books (algumas vezes deslogada). E tenho realizado um trabalho ao nível dos capítulos. Para ser sincera, minha atividade como steward no último ano foi devagar (hmmm, bem devagar). Primeiro por conta do conselho e não era simplesmente uma boa idéia usar as ferramentas. E então tirei umas férias psicológicas. Mas ficarei feliz em ajudar mais neste ano. Estou normalmente disponível no irc para as necessidades mais urgentes. Felicidades

Obrigado.

Ainda verifico a mailing list, e sempre dou uma olhada nos novos pedidos (apesar que alguém sempre os atende antes que os veja, temos óptimos stewards fazendo um trabalho muito bom :) ). Eu espero estar bem mais activo nos próximos meses e sempre estou disponível em casos de emergências.

  • Informações pessoais: Fui nomeado e eleito como um dos stewards originais lá em 2004. Do fim de 2004 ao fim de 2006 fui chefe do escritório financeiro da Wikimedia Foundation e ajudei a unidade entre 2007 e 2008. Por causa disso, muitas das ações como steward depois de 2007 estão relacionadas com a Fundação mas muitas delas também eram ações padrões de steward. Depois disso tirei uma longa - e muito necessária - wikiférias das atividades da Wikimedia. Desde então, tenho ajudado comentando nas requisições e na definição de direitos de usuários esperadicamente por conta da incoveniência de editar usando o nome mav e nas ações de steward sob meu nome real Daniel Mayer. Muito recentemente alterei meu nome de usuário da minha conta de steward para o mesmo da minha conta de edições para tornar as transições entre wikis mais fácil. Se confirmado, prometo manter um alto nível de atividades.

Comments about Drini[edit]

And sir, oh please explain me the high moral ground on canvassing? [7] [8] [9] es:Drini 21:44, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ad hominem attacks only serve to highlight your lack of suitability for the position. These users have a unique knowledge of your actions. Would you expect me to open a Request for comment on your actions and link to it here? Exactly what would you say was the ideal way to let people know about abusive behavior and the forum to comment on it? Perhaps leave a messgage on every user´s page on all the projects? Notifying three people of this election without suggesting what they say is hardly canvassing. I believe my friendly notification falls under [[10]]. It was sent to three people(limited number) and neutrally worded. Please explain how this is a violation of WP:CANVASS or is this another mendacious twisting of something that you cannot not know is not canvassing. If you do not understand the policy on canvassing to correctly identify it, then I realy question on more grounds you ability to serve as a steward.Die4Dixie 22:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
None of this has anything to do with stewardship. Drini is probably one of the best stewards we've ever had. You're essentially saying you're opposing him continuing his good work because he blocked you. Canvassing to people to get them to attempt to come and sabotage this discussion in your favour hasn't helped you one bit either. Please consider your future actions more carefully. Thanks, Majorly talk 22:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)I'm not familiar with meta-wiki or non-English projects but I seriously doubt Die4Dixie's incident is going to overturn anybody's candidacy for anything - the other comments are universally in support. Thus, I suggest all parties keep some decorum here and not get into wiki-arguing. I think the handling of Die4Dixie's block on English Wikipedia was unfortunate (a block for reasons poorly stated and seemingly mistaken, possibly not as a neutral party, followed by being unavailable for a day). Also, even though as Majorly points out Stewardship is very different than adminship, because of the increased authority it should be even more important that one keep a calm head, not play favorites, not get into grudges or matches with individual editors, etc. It is normal that the target of a block will be upset and make accusations, reasonable ones and otherwise, and perhaps even speak out of turn. Turning the other cheek and dealing with that in a firm but dignified way so that the blocked party can, hopefully, cool down and rejoin the editing process is also part of the job of administering blocks. The strong protest against alleged canvassing seems defensive, and piling on. Having said all that, and with all due respect to D4D and his (in my opinion) reasonable upset, I don't see this as anything to disqualify a candidate. No lasting harm done on either side, so please let it go. Wikidemon 23:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Informações pessoais: No último ano eu estive cada vez mais ocupado com outras actividades relacionadas à Wikimedia, mas "fora dos holofotes", (Wikimania, Wikimedia Netherlands, Wikimedia Conference Netherlands), pelo que a minha actividade como steward infelizmente diminuiu. Um parte das razões para isso é que o grupo dos stewards que temos lidam muito bem com o trabalho a ser feito, então quando eu dou uma olhada nos pedidos, já não há muito que eu possa fazer. Portanto eu não teria problemas quanto a isso se minha inactividade se tornasse um problema muito grande. Por outro lado, eu gostaria de ficar à disposição para situações de emergência etc, ainda a ser capaz de ajudar quando necessário.

  • Informações pessoais: Eu me tornei um steward na eleição de Dezembro de 2007 com bastante apoio.

Ser administrador em 11 projectos wikis (se contarmos com o projecto não pertencente a fundação Wikilivres:), burocrata em 4 e checkuser em 1 dá bastante trabalho, mas eu gosto de servir tantos utilizadores quanto eu puder e estou disposto a continuar a fazê-lo. Eu sou mais activo no wikisource em chinês, mas visito regularmente os outros sites onde sou administrador (pelo menos uma vez por semana). Aqui no meta, minhas principais tarefas como steward é dar estatuto de bot, mas algumas vezes também faço algumas verificações.

  • Personal info: "assume good faith" could rather mean "trustworthy people who have after a time become less active can use their extra tools even when used very sparingly" it will lead to a greater evolutionary diversity in a group with certain rights. nobody of course "needs" such tools, i do not "need" such tools, except to now and then perform a freely chosen job or task. demotion (please remove this guy) rather may make people be a stranger, whereas in my philosophy extended-rights communities should always be kept growing on a healthy wiki; after all, at least here, we are *not* competing for lots of soil. oscar 12:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personal info: While the logs make it look as though I'm somewhat inactive, in fact I make myself available on IRC on a very regular basis and respond as necessary to requests of various kinds, not all of which result in user rights changes. I have contributed extensively to the documentation and policies relating to stewards, and have periodically introduced formatting changes, minor and major, to ensure the continued efficient functioning of SR/P (formerly RFP). My extra-Wikimedia commitments make it somewhat unlikely that my log-evidenced activity will rise much in the next year, but this does not mean I am absent from Meta -- it only means I am rarely the first one to jump on a new request. I intend to maintain my regular presence on IRC, and if confirmed I will continue to perform steward tasks at every opportunity. — Dan

    Additionally, I'll note that the suggestion that transferring rights from one account to another is inappropriate is a tad silly, IMO. The point of stewards not changing rights (etc) on their home wiki is to prevent a conflict of interest. Since essentially nothing changed in this case, there can be no conflict of interest. If he had promoted someone to sysop who wasn't previously, we might have something worth talking about.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 18:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • In my opinion, this transfer was an inappropriate use of steward rights on your home wiki. John Vandenberg 07:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree, how is it? Majorly talk 16:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    All promotions should be done on the local wiki. It's a minor point, but it's an important one that dates back to the beginning of stewardship. --MZMcBride 19:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    MZM: This was not a new promotion but a transfer of rights. I seem to remember I decided to do both rights changes at Meta so as to keep them in the same log, hoping that this would minimize confusion and not give the impression that it was an unwarranted new promotion. I figured this consideration was more important than the convention that all promotions must be done locally. It seems to me that the relevant principle here is that stewards shouldn't grant sysop flags on wikis that have local bureaucrats; but I'm also a bureaucrat at en.wiki, so that problem is neutralized.
    But I think John was suggesting that I shouldn't be changing rights on en.wiki from Meta at all, since that's my home project. To this I can only respond that (1) I was executing a request made by the user, and not making any decisions of my own, so there is no possibility of conflicting interests; and (2) my actions caused no controversy nor provoked any objections whatsoever, precisely because I was doing no more than executing a request. I have argued for quite a while that the old prohibition on stewards changing rights on their home wikis is unnecessary in cases that involve no active decision-making. In fact, this is why we agreed a while back to change the relevant section of the policy to read "... except for clearcut cases (such as self-requested removal or emergencies)". — Dan | talk 23:28, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with this and further will say that I've done the very same thing. I don't think clear cut, non controversial items like this are problematic... a shift is not a promotion. ++Lar: t/c 03:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Where could I go about attempting to change the policy that says admins can uncontroversially have their adminship transferred to a new account without any sort of on wiki record or process for this? I'm frustrated by secret adminship transfers (there are a handful of en.wiki admins who can't be traced to an RFA at all) and would like to at least express my opinion against this anti-transparent practice. --JayHenry 04:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Either individual wikis (every "completely untraceable" one on en:wp that I am aware of (because the transfer didn't happen as a matched pair here) was done with awareness of en:wp ArbCom) to address it wiki by wiki, or perhaps the talk page for Steward policies, here. There is no way to escape an onwiki record (without developer intervention) in the case of a rights transfer... you'll always find record of the removal half it in the user rights log here. (But I think you mean something a bit more formal/direct/explicit than just a log entry) Further, doing both halves of the transfer here (turn off and turn on) means it's a bit easier to track, at least in my view, than if one half is done here (the turn off) and the other half elsewhere, because you can see what was done and it's paired. You have to know to come here to find it, of course. ++Lar: t/c 13:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I meant an on en.wiki record, and I'm certainly not sure where Arbcom derived the authority to grant secret adminship transfers. (I became aware of this secret transfer issue when I noticed a complete spookadmin engaging in behavior I felt was harassment of someone I was trying to work with. Where can an editor like myself even begin to set that straight? Certainly not with ArbCom 2007-08 which felt entitled to create spookadmins in the first place.) But my point is actually a bit broader. It seems to me there are only two scenarios, either 1) if an admin asks a Steward to transfer their admin rights to some other account, this is permitted without condition (and I see no evidence this has ever been any sort of supported ideal) or 2) Dan did make a decision of his own. --JayHenry 04:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Dan is correct in assuming I am mostly concerned about this action being done by a steward on their home wiki. This was not a clearcut case as it isnt supported by enwiki policy or common practise. The request should have been posted onto meta, with explanation and justification, and evaluated by another steward who is not active in enwiki. At least then there would be an opportunity for community discussion, and an unbiased decision maker. You did "decide" that the request was appropriate and did not need any community discussion. John Vandenberg 08:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Eh? Bish is hardly the first person to deal with bit transfers. Ocee and H both dealt with similar things. --MZMcBride 18:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am certainly aware of the problem of transparency; in fact, I asked the user in question to announce the change openly on her userpage (which she did, though the page is now deleted; for what it's worth, the revision is [23]). Had she not wished to do so, I would not have granted the request. I further informed her that if there were any objections I would reverse the change. I took my action to be validated by the fact that no objections ever came to my attention (until this moment of course). And when secrecy is not an issue, a transfer of rights seems to me just the kind of mere formality that stewards are accustomed to handle.
If it turns out that an agreement now emerges that this sort of thing should not be done, then we will know for sure not to do it in the future, and I will naturally abide by that decision. But at the time I did the transfer, and apparently for eleven months afterward, it seems not to have been understood as problematic in any way. And if it can be argued that on some understanding what I did amounted to a "judgment" or a "decision", then it was no more than the minimal amount of judgment or decision that is involved in any steward action -- if a steward really were to make no decisions at all, he or she would do exactly nothing. With respect, I believe that my actions were appropriate to the state of opinion at the time, and I hope they will not be held against me if and when the state of opinion begins to change. — Dan | talk 19:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's well said and I don't think at all that you should be removed as a Steward. But going forward I'd like to discourage the practice of blithely shifting adminship from one account to another. It is not silly; the shifting is confusing (not to mention frustrating and even unfair to all the outsiders), makes it difficult to find the RFA, a deleted user page is a pretty tough barrier to get past for an ordinary editor, it breaks the log of admin actions in half, not to mention the actual editing contributions, etc. Another point, Dan, is that while I'm hardly a noob I was unable to figure out who gave Bishzilla adminship rights. I don't know how to navigate around the logs that well. Personally I like Bish, and my concern has nothing to do with her. It's that what happened was completely opaque. --JayHenry 05:29, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vou aproveitar esta oportunidade para repetir aqui o que eu disse em meu projeto principal: peço desculpas à comunidade pela ausência, mas eu realmente estive muito ocupado com minha vida extra-Wikipédia. Mas, é claro, a comunidade espera e conta com que eu utilize as ferramentas que me foram confiadas quando for necessário, algo que eu espero e pretendo seguir fazendo. Em minhas atividades normais, eu costumo ser mais ativo em permissões de usuário e no uso do Oversight.

Comments about Shizhao[edit]

The following discussion is closed: Removed during the elections. —Pathoschild 02:18:20, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I would like to note that should Shizhao wish to resume his steward role after his term of ombudsman is up, he should need only go through the reconfirmation process, and not an entire election. bastique demandez! 20:13, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Bastique, the reconfirmation should be done now, not in one year, when nobody remembers him anymore. @Shizhao, sorry, but I think you are too much involved into steward activity like checkusering on zhwiki, which is your home wiki. Additionally, you were not available on IRC during the last year, at least not that I knew of. --Thogo (talk) 01:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Thogo, I don't think it should be tolerated that a steward does checks on his home wiki, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 02:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Spacebirdy, As your probably know, the matter has been addressed on the appropriate Requests for comments/Shizhao's use of steward privilages page. Chinese wikipedia is a large wikipedia with plenty of vandals and trolls but at the same time it suffers from not being able to elect any checkuser, for the unique political situation in the Chinese speaking world. Please bear that in mind, Thogo and Spacebirdy - Shizhao was simply doing his duty; since, apart from Shizhao and Jusjih, no other steward has sufficient knowledge of Chinese; and however capable you are, as I have seen, you simply cannot provide support as efficiently as Shizhao did. Shizhao is aware of the checkuser policy; but in certain cases, the community waited for over a week for urgent CU-requests. Hillgentleman 10:28, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, the community did not have to wait for urgent cases this year. They did simply not put it on the requestpage if that was so. Also besides the requestpage there is #wikimedia-stewardsConecte-se for urgent requests where always many stewards are available, also those who do not watch the requestpages so closely, but are eager to help, and he knows of that channel and Shizaho could have easily passed it on to a steward of his trust and assisted with understanding the request in translating. The rfc does not interest me, I waited for the confirmation where I can put my objection, because this is the place to do that. I am sorry, but I don't think that this should have happened, exactly for the reason why there are no local checkusers on zh.wiki. And that he understands the local language and others not does not count, there are many other languages no steward speaks, but the others managed to ask someone to translate an edit for them etc... Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually, few Chinese wikipedians use irc. Surprised? They use skype or emails much more. And I appreciate that you at least acknowlege there exists a prior discussion. It is rather hasty to say "he understands the local language and others not does not count"; You need to know the language to understand the problem efficiently. As you know, the log goes stale in 7 days; and I have seen precious time wasted when the Wikipedians tried to explain to the stewards their problems with their good intentions but no-so-good command in English. Chinese wikipedia is maintained by a relatively small number of wikipedians but it invites a large number of vandals, some quite serious. And they are not helped by anti-vandal bots. An For the rest, I have said enough before. Hillgentleman 12:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • I did not say that Chinese Wikipedians should use IRC, but Shizaho can, or he could have used the mailinglist and asked anyone for using skype... But he did not, he checked himself and I object to that. It is not even clear why all these accounts were checked, no reason were given. Also it is not hasty to say that, we have to do checks in other languages as well, as said. And we ask for translations of edits then, or a trusted sysop for the problems and situation. There is this rule not to do that in Your home project, either we stick to the rules or You can propose to change that. You can have another opinion and express it and I respect that, but You will have to respect my opinion too, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • No problems; I understand Your point, and I agree with Your principles. I just wanted to bring out the fact that the case is not as simply black-and-white as a casual reader may think. Hillgentleman 17:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I stated in the RFC, performing CU requests on one's home wiki is to be avoided and I expect that will be in the future. I'm somewhat alarmed to see Spacebirdy say that there were no reasons given for running the check - I thought the requests that were being done were at least listed on SRCU and had valid reasons, as Wing stated. That Shizhao is now on the Ombudsman Commission is a bit uncomfortable at present... I'd appreciate some clarity from anyone who can provide it.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 18:55, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Support Support. We both as only Chinese stewards administer many Chinese wikis very well. We cannot find at least two Chinese Wikipedians interested in checking users locally.--Jusjih 22:33, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Keep No reason why ombudsman wouldn't keep stewardship. --Millosh 13:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • remove per Thogo. --FiliP × 17:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about Wpedzich[edit]

A lesson to be learnt for sure - I had a feeling the name changes were being waited on long enough, and the local bureaucrats, although existent, were hard to reach in my opinion, therefore my decision. As I said, a lesson for me. Thanks for the criticism. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 10:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
