Hello Snowolf! On behalf of the stewards' election committee, congratulations on your appointment as a steward! Your permissions have now been set and you are able to start the work.

You have been added to the list of stewards and the stewards' chart. Please take a moment to check that your details are accurate and update them if necessary. In addition, please subscribe to checkuser-l, the private mailing list for Wikimedia checkusers, and stewards-l, the private list for stewards. In addition, you will be given access to the related private wikis, one for checkusers and the other solely for stewards, details of which will be provided.

If you use IRC, please contact an operator for access to #wikimedia-checkuser and #wikimedia-privacy. Please also idle in #wikimedia-stewards when you are available for duty.

Best of luck with your new tools; I am sure you will do a fantastic job. Please remember that your fellow stewards are always available if you need a second opinion, either via the mailing list or on IRC.

Hi, I understand you think I was ignoring what happened, but for sure I was ashamed about that; bringing it to my personal life, when something bad or tragic happens, I try not to think about it for some time and after give a solution, avoiding deciding fastly. It might be a different way to deal with problems, okay, I made a mistake and take charge of it.

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our budget is smaller than Commons)
Snowolf, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Meta. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

A tip: add this page Meta:Administrators' discussion index to your watchlist, it tracks the latest activity to various sections of many of the important pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta.

Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators.

I just found out by chance that I've been blocked indefinitely on Hindu wikipedia because of an "abusive user name" by you. Assuming that you did this as a global steward on request by the local community, I'd like to know more about details - there was no message on my talk page there and I can find no request on either Meta or your :hi talk page. If there was a community discussion, I wouldn't even know where to start looking for it among all those exotic Hindu characters. Could you please check in case it was a mistake? If nothing else, it looks bad in global account overviews. Thanks, — Yerpo Eh? 10:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

That's really weird. Trying to figure out why exactly that happened but in the meantime I've unblocked you as it's clearly a mistake. Snowolf How can I help? 19:08, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Apparently it's a known and already reported bug. You were not the intended target of the global lock + suppression, a number of accounts with abusive usernames was. How on earth it ended up with you and a number of other local accounts getting suppressed, I really can't understand it, but it seems it's a bug. I've unsuppressed and unblocked the account, thank you so much for bringing the matter to my attention, as it not only got me to reverse the mistake on your account but also on a few others who were equally affected. Snowolf How can I help? 20:48, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
No problem, thanks for your response. I was actually more worried that my username reminds people there of some Hindu demon or swear word. — Yerpo Eh? 07:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

The project has no active admins, let alone 'crats and the circumstances of the hiwiki situation and RfC clearly show it's not wise to re-grant this flag, especially given there are no active admins there so there's no need for it in any case.

Hi, please contact the original blocking admin and checkuser by email on enwiki, en:Special:EmailUser/MuZemike to appeal your block.

I can't contact when i want to email him/her you must have a valid authenticated e-mail address in your preferences to send e-mail to other users and my talk page access have been removed plzzzzzzzzz you unblock this..... The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ali3452 (talk • contribs) 13:01, 22 March 2012 (UTC).
Yes, to email somebody you need to have an email address listed on your wiki account and authenticated, add one and authenticate it and it will work. As I wrote earlier, I cannot unblock you because I'm both not familiar with your situation and because the block was based on private informations from the Checkuser tool to which I am not privy to. If you want to appeal your block, email MuZemike thru the procedure listed above, but as it stands, en:WP:CIR issues starts to be pretty evident. Snowolf How can I help? 13:05, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
But Many admins have unblocked this you can see the Block log when can't you unblock??? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ali3452 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 22 March 2012‎ (UTC).
There's not a single unblock there. And the fact that you seem unable to understand that you have to email MuZemike for a unblock which will never happen is only further proof of major en:WP:CIR issues. You are clearly not suited to contribute to the English Wikipedia, as your extensive pattern of abuse, block evasion and your inability to listen to simple instructions such as on here show. Please direct all further queries to en:Special:EmailUser/MuZemike as he's the blocking Checkuser. Regards, Snowolf How can I help? 13:12, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] About Saint Johann adminship @ lez-wiki

The following discussion is marked as answered (replied). If you have a new comment, place it just below the box.

Hello. I would like to ask you to give the flag a technical administrator to Saint Johann. You took into account only the number of votes, but it better to see argumentation. First of all, see the last vote of user VasilievVV - it was only his editing at the project and I do not know how he could know that would benefit to the project, better than permanent users in the project. And let I'll translate some opinions about this candidate from this vote page:

Opinion 1 (from Migraghvi, recently elected Administrator): Юзер St.Johann однозначно необходим этому проекту, т.к. судя по его деятельности, он неплохо разбирается в вики-программировании. Поэтому я считаю все аргументы против него неактуальными. И призываю тех, кто проголосовал против, перевести свои голоса в "за". Лично я, если изберусь админом, не смогу так координировать работу по техническим параметрам так, как это делает St.Johann. Я буду в основном координировать само написание статей, учитывая нормы лезгинского языка. И пока не вижу никого, кто бы так эффективно пользовался языком вики-разметки, как это делает St.Johann. Migraghvi (обсуждение) 20:39, 31 Ибне 2012 (MSK)

Translate: User St.Johann definitely needs for this project, as I see by his work, he well understands in Wiki programming. So I think all the arguments against him irrelevant. And I encourage those who voted against him, transfer their votes to (section) "pro". Personally, if I become the administrator, I can not coordinate the technical parameters as it can St.Johann. Mainly I will coordinate work for writing articles, taking into account the norms of Lezghian language. And I do not see anybody who can so effectively use the wiki-markup language, as it does St.Johann. Migraghvi (Talk) 20:39, 31 March 2012 (MSK)

Opinion 2 (from User from Dag, recently elected Administrator): (I removed the discussion about another candidate) Опять-таки, во избежание всякого рода конфликтов и неприятностей было бы лучше если техническую поддержку осуществлял абсолютно нейтральный участник в лице St.Johann. Наша с Вами цель - сделать википедию качественной базой данных, а не площадкой для продвигания своих интересов. User from Dag (обсуждение) 13:09, 30 Ибне 2012 (MSK)

Translate: ...Again, to avoid any kind of conflicts and troubles it would be better if the technical support will be provided by totally neutral user as St.Johann. Our goal with you - to make high-quality database of Wikipedia, it's not a platform for promote your interests. User from Dag (Talk) 13:09, 30 March 2012 (MSK)

Also, see user's Ontoi contributions - he just voting here and even do not make edits in other articles. User Bouron also did only one edit as VasilievVV. So I ask to give technical admin Flag to user Saint Johann under my responsibility and responsibility of users Migraghvi and User from Dag.--Soul Train (talk) 09:18, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Couple of things to clear up: first, there's no such thing as a flag of "technical administrator". All administrators are the same flag-wise (temporary admin wasn't specifically requested and is voted on by the community regardless in the same manner, just requires less overall participation) and in the absence of a peculiar local policy, also they're all equal policy-wise; also, I did read all the rationales for support and opposes, I didn't simply "count the votes", however, missing local policies establishing a necessary amount of contributions, I am bound by what I find on the page, namely a strong opposition by a significant number of users mainly motivated by the fact that the user doesn't speak the language. Whether that should or shouldn't be a concern is not up to me to decide. To be blunt, there's no reason to disregard votes from new contributor on a brand new project and there's no basis in policy to weight user's votes differently. As long as the arguments are somewhat sane, if there's clearly no consensus to promote, my hands are tied. Snowolf How can I help? 09:39, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Formally you are right, but the facts are: 1. User LNSA is the only user with contributions, but he is the author of scandal-known category Tslapashstan and (as I think) may be puppet of Lezgistxa, well, I can say that he is vandal too, as Lezgistxa. But even such a radical user as Lezgistxa, who have conflicts with Saint Johann, removed his vote to section "neutral" ("I change my position to this user and to abstain for this candidate"). 2. VasilievVV and Bouron make only one edit each. Who are all these people for the project? Even Lezgistxa, who write "Here's Lezghin Wikipedia and let write here in Lezgin, OK?", voted neutral, because he understands that without the technical features the project will be quite bad. :(--Soul Train (talk) 10:16, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
I just incorrectly wrote, I mean "temporary sysop", for 3 months. Not "technical".--Soul Train (talk) 10:23, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

User:Snowolf/Tomtomn00 - You've made 2 mistakes, as I have not requested 2 of them rights. As it's your list... ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 16:27, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

1-) Email to Courcelles, I was asking for advice. 2-) Same with Fluffernutter. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 16:32, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Tomtomn, while I cannot release the contents of your email without your permission (though I'd be happy to post it here for clarity, if you agree to that), it is a blatant falsehood to represent what you sent me as anything other than a request for rollback. Your email stated that you were requesting rollback rights back, and listed two reasons why you thought you should have the right returned. That was the entire contents of the email. No request for advice, simply a request for me to give you back rollback. Fluffernutter (talk) 16:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Just after checking through my sent items, I do remember that one, the advice one is still in the outbox... MS Outlook... ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 16:45, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
This is the second time I've had to correct you when you misrepresented your dealings with me. Please, it would make both our lives much easier if you'd just start telling the honest truth, rather than hoping you can slip in your preferred "truth" without me noticing. Fluffernutter (talk) 16:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't think you get the point. Making lots of requests for rights is not good, and you still seem to be making them... πr2 (tc) 17:42, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Both admin characterized the emails you sent not as advice but as request for userrights. As I understand it, you've also sent similar emails to many more admins at the same time. I would advise you not to request userrights for a while. This list was prompted by the recent request on commons, to avoid wasting people's time in researching the matter in future should you request userrights somewhere. As it seems clear from the discussion above and discussions I've had with several admins who you've contacted (only two of which have been listed at their request or self-adding), you were not asking for advice but for userrights, as such I see nothing that needs to be changed to the list, tho of course should you find any inaccuracies you're free to edit the list yourself, it's a wiki page like any other, tho I would strongly advise you against misrepresenting your dealings with people, it doesn't do you any good and it's flat out wrong and against the wiki spirit. Focus on the encyclopedias, userrights will come when you need them. Snowolf How can I help? 08:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, there are other things that should be wiped out in Breton wikigeriadur Thanks. Bianchi-Bihan (talk) 05:41, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, could you point me to the exact pages you need deleted? Snowolf How can I help? 03:05, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
From what I can see, there's only one page nominated for deletions on the Breton Wikipedia, at [2] which seems dodgy says "user request" but the requestor is a different user. I assume the matter has been handled since and closing this, do reply if that's not the caseSnowolf How can I help? 03:12, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Global rollback

The following discussion is marked as answered (answered and discussed). If you have a new comment, place it just below the box.

While the number of wikis I edit on is limited, the reason why I'd request this would be to able to do rollbacks on Meta since Meta has no local dedicated rollback permission. Do you think that would be a valid reason?--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:49, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I actually wanted to write to you about something else, but to address your question: no, I would not think that a global rollback request with the aim of using it on a single wiki would be appropriate in the framework of the GR policy. The policy specifically suggests that one has to make heavy use of revert functions across multiple wikis "For consideration, users must be demonstrably active in cross-wiki countervandalism or anti-spam activities (for example, as active members of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team) and make heavy use of revert on many wikis". If you necessitate of a rollback tool on metawiki, I would advise you to try and use TWINKLE (you can copy the relevant code from my global.js file, User:Snowolf/global.js) -- it's pretty effective :). I also wanted to poke you about your comments on the global lock request for Japan Football, to let you know that several stewards including myself have access to external tools that allow them to locally block a user on all the wikis they're active on with a single command, and hence the implementation of such a measure is not problematic aside of the obvious implication that there's no automatic block on wikis where the user is not currently registered on and that in doing so we would be blocking the user also on many wikis with established practices and policies, and while it should be within our powers to do so (it is in all effect a Global block implemented in a different manner from a global lock, but a global block nevertheless), it is not routinely used and should be used with great care. These are meant to be general remarks on the matter, and do not address the substance of the issue. Regards, Snowolf How can I help? 02:58, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  1. I'm not sure how TW works on a wiki it's not designed for.
  2. It's kinda tedious and non-transparent, but there's usually little grey area - either a user is a globally disruptive LTA/spammer or is only locally disruptive.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:01, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
TW works fine if you use the modified version by PiRSquared17 that I'm using, it works without issues on almost all wikis, tho it only provides you with rollback, not with warnings. The code for inclusion would be:
 // TWINKLE
 importScriptURI('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AzaToth/morebits.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
 // try
 importScriptURI('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:PiRSquared17/twinkle.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

Put it in my common.js, but apparently it doesn't work...--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:06, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
There was an issue with capitalization, you put it in Common.js as opposed to common.js xD, I've moved it to the correct title, purge cache and it should work :) Snowolf How can I help? 03:08, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Purge wasn't needed xD. Ugh. I'm so used to viewing MediaWiki where case in filenames don't matter. Thanks!--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with images in Lez

The following discussion is marked as answered (devs fixed it following my request). If you have a new comment, place it just below the box.

There's some promlem with Image thumbnailing, I think that only Meta-sysops can fix this bug. lez:Special:NewFiles--Soul Train (talk) 17:27, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm so sorry for the delayed reponse. I gave it a quick look a while ago, realized it was not something I could fix directly and meant to poke the devs in #wikimedia-tech about it, but forgot. I have done so now, and they're looking at what the issue is. I'll add info when I get it. Snowolf How can I help? 23:56, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Should be fixed now, tho I would suggest that if possible, files be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons :) Snowolf How can I help? 00:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Can you see to his behavior. Deleting messages from his (1) (2) (3) and writes about violations in Lezgi Wikipedia although all non-free files were removed, just because he was offended by a warning, as I think.--Soul Train (talk) 15:10, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

There's a thread on Wikimedia Forum about this. Osiris (talk) 21:34, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Banned

Excuse me, sir. But why did you ban this IP Address from editing. I haven't edited anything in the English Wikipedia. And what is "Lovely" editing???? The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.127.85.110 (talk • contribs) 10:31, 19 May 2012‎.

I don't see any current blocks for that IP address (222.127.85.110) on the English Wikipedia. Snowolf How can I help? 10:36, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

I thought you banned my IP Address because when I wanted to edit an article and create an account, it said that you blocked the IP Address because of "Lovely" Editing. So I contacted you. So thank you!! Bilang.hezekiah (talk) 11:14, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

It is my IP address in the Polish Wiki which was recently banned. Better tell them that it was mine that was banned and it should be lifted. JMRAMOS0109 (talk) 11:24, 21 May 2012 (PST)
