user name change

Sir I have been involved in a very controversial debate over a subject and I want to change my name for fear of reprisal. My current username is my last name and I really need some protection. I would greatly thankful if you could facilitate a username change. Thank you.

OTRS

Dear Daniel,

could you please comment your edit? Are those people are OTRS agents now? Thank you! Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 00:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Some are, some aren't. I don't see what there is to comment on, to be honest. Daniel (talk) 03:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Daniel, I'm a bit depressed by your answer...

Namely, there was a nomination of :ru:user:Rubin16 - whom I endorsed, as I met him many times in Russian Wikipedia, and we really need more OTRS agents for Russian OTRS queues (I'm one of the OTRS agents as well). So I was surprised when his nomination was deleted with no comment (as far as I remember, earlier it used to put some comment like "promoted" or something like that).

However, I now see that he was promoted and he's OTRS agent now. So the issue is closed now.

Sorry for disturbing! Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 19:21, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

We don't say who is accepted and who isn't when removing nominations because users sometimes wish to keep their participation in OTRS confidential; see the top of otrswiki:LOA (notably the warnings under the red banner at the top). I'd be intrigued to know who wrote/where "promoted" was written, and ask that you provide a difflink. Daniel (talk) 21:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I do never disclose confidential information. For Rubin16, I took it here.

I've checked the earlies edits of OTRS/volunteering, and found there several examples of respective comments for edits. Maybe it wasn't that strict during early OTRS days?

Sorry, I don't think that we need to issue a penalty for minor misdoings that were committed several years ago. I'd better send private warnings to all users whom I found when I was looking for the examples. Could you please point me after which exact moment such comments started to be treatead as a violation? Thanks! Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 21:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

OTRS

Daniel I notice that you turned me down as a Volunteer. I respect your decision but would like to respectful ask if there a OTRS Volunteer Apprenticeship or similar that I could work through in order to prove myself? Also could you maybe tell me what was the main factor that lead to your decision? I'm also sending this to your email just in case you see it firstTucsonDavid 05:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Global Block

Dear Daniel,

I understand that you are an Administrator on the English wikipedia. I have been an avid use of Wiki and have made a few contributions in the past. I understand that vandalism is bad for business and therefore always ensure that I sign on before I do an edit. Recently I have been unable to edit due to a "Global Block" from User Shizhao. I am a layman and do not understand tech language and I believe this has not been a criteria to contribute to Wikipedia. I have contributed both time and money to Wiki and therefore get frustrated to see an unfinished page which I have the passion in completing, but left helpless due to the indiscrimination from Shizhai. Hope you can help. Vanillacream. Vanillacream 19:18, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Account reactivation

Hello Daniel,

I noticed today that someone has deactivated my OTRS account yesterday (possibly due to inactivity). The fact is I was inactive for an approximate period of 8 months, but I've become active about 2 weeks ago. As a matter of fact I had been cleaning spams for ten days or so before the inactivation, and was about to get more busy with responses.

I was wondering if you could reactivate my account, and reinstate my access to info-tr and permissions.

Cheers

Vito Genovese 15:08, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I have reactivated your account, Vito! Sorry about the confusion. I guess our inactivity report did not acknowledge the fact that you came back, but we decided to err on the side of closing inactive accounts because it can be so easily undone and it had been so long since we had cleaned out inactive accounts. It's good to have you back and sorry again for this! :-) Cbrown1023 talk 20:49, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Your archive pages

Are listed for SD but i can´t find delete template there. Could you fix it please? THX --WizardOfOz ^talk 05:22, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

It was because he requested the "Top" template be deleted, which caused all of the pages that use that template to show up in the category. We just have to wait for the category to refresh. Cbrown1023 talk 17:36, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Speaker for a class in Adelaide

Dear Daniel I'd like to get my class at the University of Adelaide to contribute to Wikipedia in semester 2 2012. I'm new to this, and wonder if there is someone who would be able to come and talk to us about the concept, and its delights and pitfalls? Thank you. Julia Miller

Thank you for your translations

Dear Daniel:

Thank you for helping to translate the WMF Grants program pages on Meta. Thanks to your efforts, these programs will be accessible to more people all over the world. We would like to send you something in appreciation of your work, so please contact us by Email at grants at wikimedia dot org with your name, shirt size (optional), address for delivery (not a PO Box), and telephone number (for delivery).

We would also like to let you know that our programs are growing and we will need to make some significant changes to these program pages in the next few weeks. When this happens, these pages may need to be retranslated, although much of the new text will be identical or similar to the text you've already translated: you've already translated this text, so you'd be able to copy and paste much from your existing translation. Please consider continuing to support the movement's work in this area, and please continue to let your multilingual friends and colleagues know that this support is still needed as our programs grow!

Please also let us know if you have any feedback for us: it's always welcome.

With appreciation,

Wolliff (talk) 18:41, 14 August 2012 (UTC) (on behalf of the Wikimedia Grants Team)
