After serving the community for over a year at [[w:en:Main Page|wikipedia.english]], I'd like to further offer my services to Wikimedia by helping out at OTRS. It seems a short justification is in order; my main project is wikipedia english, where I've mainly contributed to the maintenance and dispute resolution side of operations. For example, I've mediated for the wikipedia (en) [[w:en:WP:MEDCABAL|Mediation Cabal]] with a successful to unsuccessful case ratio of fifteen cases to one (at the last count :-) ; I was (until recently) a [[w:en:WP:AMA|Member's Advocate]], where most notably I was involved in a case which eventually required several direct contact operations with [[w:en:Google|Google Inc.]]. Other contributions include [[CheckUser]] [[w:en:WP:RFCU/C|clerking]] at [[w:en:WP:RFCU|w:en RFCU]], which is a position that requires very fine attention to detail, handling of potentially nasty situations, inexperienced and often angry bad-faith requests, and above all trust which to date I have shown. Hopefully this re-request will be considered fully, and I'd love any feedback you may have! |

If you're willing to work on difficult, sensitive, and at times hostile messages; and you're courteous, skilled at resolving disputes, friendly even in the face of hostility, sensitive to the needs of those outside Wikipedia, and have extraordinary discretion - see OTRS/Info-en recruiting and make a new section like below and append it to this page:
OTRS is very selective, and considering the nature of the work, requires that we be familiar with you and your work on Wikimedia projects before accepting you as a volunteer. It may take some time before your request is replied to, please be patient.

Roosa
I'd like to help out on OTRS! I'm no admin on a Wikimedia project, but familiar with wiki systems and a long-time contributor on Wikia (under the name of Jack Phoenix), and also an admin of four Wikia projects and I have a wiki of my own. I know that they're not Wikimedia projects, but they still mean something, to me at least. I'd like to help out with English and Finnish requests. I'm not an active contributor on English Wikipedia, since everything (well almost) has been said already on that wiki, but instead active on Finnish Wikipedia.
- Languages: I speak fluent English (en-5), Finnish (native), some Swedish (sv-2) and a little bit Japanese (if I can have my dictionary with me).
- User Pages: Meta, MediaWiki, Finnish Wikipedia, English Wikipedia
Thank you for your time. --Roosa (Talk) 15:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to help out on OTRS! I am very good with images specifically. I am not an admin but was nominated on en.wiki but was unsuccessful.

- User Page: en.wiki - main account, meta (redirects to en.wiki), commons
Thank you. --MECU 22:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

riana_dzasta
This seems to be an area where help is always needed, and thus I offer my assistance. I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia, have grown accustomed to various forms of off-wiki questioning (and occasional abuse ;) ), and am able to keep a cool head and a civil tongue under pressure.

^demon
Upon serious thought, I would like to join OTRS to help. I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia, where my primary focus is my chairmanship of the Mediation Committee. Quite regularly I receive e-mails from users requesting help (usually something dispute-related), which I always answer with the best advice I can give.
- Languages: I natively speak English, and some degree of French (far from fluent though).

Thank you. ^demon 17:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I would like to join OTRS to help. I am an arbitrator on en.wiki, although I'd like to think that I make useful edits as well. I'm also rather experienced in dealing with irate people, usually on contentious articles

- history of most active user talk page: [1]
- rfxs: rfa,
Well, I added a request quite some time ago, and it was removed by mindspillage, who never contacted me. When I talked to on IRC she said she couldn't remember whether she approved my request or not, so I figured I'd just ask again. Anyway, I've been an active contributor to Wikipedia for about a year and a half, and have been an admin on that wiki for about a year. I'm also a semi-active contributor on Wikiversity and the meta-wiki, though I am a sysop on neither. I have extensive experience dealing with upset users, dispute resolution on Wikipedia, policy disputes, unblock requests, and other policy matters. I'll be happy to work on whatever queues I'm needed, so long as they're in either the English or German language. AmiDaniel 18:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
