Hi TariButtar, you did and do good works, there is no doubt about that. But adminship is not a big deal and it will not block the opportunity to do good work on Punjabi Wikipedia. I would like to see you as an administrator in Punjabi Wikipedia when you have enough trust from your community. But about reconsideration, this is not how it works, so you have to go through the community all over again to request the adminship here. Hope this helps, thanks. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Wikitanvir|<span title="Shoot!" style="font-family: Mono; font-weight: bold; cursor: crosshair;">T.</span>]] 14:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia projects which do not have a local permissions procedure.

Old sections are archived. The list of archives is below.

  • Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
  • If you are requesting adminship or bureaucratship, and your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (index).
  • For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel. In emergencies, type !steward in the channel to get the attention of stewards. Otherwise, you can type @steward for non-urgent help.

Other than requests to remove your own access or emergencies, please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = <!-- such as en.wikibooks -->
 |user name = 
 |discussion= 
}}
(your remarks) ~~~~

2. Fill in the values:

  • domain: the wiki's URL domain (like "ex.wikipedia" or "meta.wikimedia").
  • user name: the name of the user whose rights are to be changed (like "Exampleuser"). In case you're requesting access for multiple bots, leave this field blank and give a list of these bots in your remarks
  • discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).

3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to sign a confidentiality agreement. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also sign the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the Office.

 On hold until 29 October — billinghurst sDrewth 12:42, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I request for continuation of Administrator right at least for one year.I personally feel community is not yet big enough to have a permanent Administrator.However if other users express to become permanent editor , I would also be interested in permanent editorship.This is for betterment and nourishment of Punjabi wiki, since I best understand problems of community,its language & input methods etc. and have firm faith in practicing Five Pillars of Wikipedia.--Guglani (talk) 11:07, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please make an announcement on a local village pump or requests for adminship page. Trijnsteltalk 11:36, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the user, I think, should learn more about the wiki, editing, style, contents etc.. He made almost no efforts to improve articles created by him even after giving a much detailed guidence/help by me under Your 144 pages.. An analysis on his talk page. He also added all his files without any sources for which I called him thrice to act accordingly but he did nothing regarding and also used cut-n-paste methods and writing news. I think he should be a good editor also. But it's not to discourage or oppose, just pointed out the improvement-needs that the user is ignoring. Thanks for the time. --tari buttar [talk] 13:05, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Trjnstel! Thanks!Announcement done.wikipedian tariButter have made some comments and in same breath recorded no opposition to my adminstratorship request .Do I contest his comments ?--Guglani (talk) 15:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please hold on and keep close watch on our community portal how Guglani is answering and trying to censor the ones that oppose him. --Zarienah (talk) 13:47, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the forum for the discussion, please discuss this at the linked page at paWP, and from there stewards will be able to assess viewpoint of the community. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2013-04-29. . The way the extension usually works is, you get for 3 months at first time, 6 months in the time of first extension, and then for a year, and so it continues. Since it is your first request of extension, your temporary access has been extended for 6 months and will expire in April 29, 2012. — T. 14:24, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

TariButtar@pa.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

Hello, my temporary adminship is going to expire in few days so I wanna renew it and for the longer time (1 year?) possible. Thanks. tari buttar [talk] 13:31, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 29 October. Trijnsteltalk 13:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that renewing this administrator's mandate is not a wise or good idea. Recent interaction of this admin with both stewards and local community members both here and on pawiki leave me with a distinct impression that his philosophy (that is, his condescending "Be a good editor dear"; his preventive and blanked protections in the face of the wiki spirit; etc) is not suited for a holder of the sysop flag. Snowolf How can I help? 12:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mr Snowolf, TariButtar is by far the most experienced user on pawiki, he may make mistakes but we all are human and are bound to do so, as far as I've read "administrators do not need to be perfect". --Zarienah (talk) 14:06, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We never ask people to be perfect, but admins shouldn't create their own rules without communicating with the pa-wiki community either. Trijnsteltalk 14:52, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@Snowolf and @Trijnstel, I wanna say here that my English is not very very good and if I use Punjabi here you could not understand. So if a user is not a good editor then how to describe it in English, I'm confused. I didn't use those words having any hating philosophy or what ever being assumed, No, because if it would, I may never guided him in the detail that is rare and I think first of its kind on wiki as I toured it. I everytime tried to help users and consider having discussions with the community if there is any issues, not making own rules and as of the page protections, I did it in good faith and when the users asked I removed, not a big deal, I think.
Moreover, if one 'll interact with the users/community, there may some who having different attitude (as all users are also human, they can also make mistakes and be rude) can accuse the helping one and as "to err is human" there may be a "not-should-be" (according to wiki) statement but how would the other face it who never talked to users. The other reason behind it may be this because they know little themself so, how could they approach users helping them being good editors if they themselves are not. Sorry again, if I said something "not-should-be" (I only found "not-should-be" to express what I thought in Punjabi. Although, I'm not satisfied that it's expressing perfectly but okay if making you understand the near meaning). Thanks a lot, anyway. --tari buttar [talk] 05:16, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And important than the moreover, will all my contributions, done being an experienced one, to standardize the wiki (improving mediawiki interface, importing gadgets for the ease of users, styling articles, all help to users and much more) be forgotten/ignored? --tari buttar [talk] 05:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello TariButtar. There is no reason that your constructive actions will be ignored. And we're never told about banning you from this wiki, just about not renewing the temporary admin status, simply because your attitude does not reflect the image an administrator should give. The most important thing to me is that a wiki should be accessible to everybody, anyone should be able to be a member of the community and to give his point of view on what's happening. That's why, as a local sysop, you should have a welcoming attitude with newcomers, and not of course harassing them. However, I see that you've undone the mass protections you've made, which is to me a good point, even if you should have asked the community opinion before making the mass protections instead of asking if you can undo. Cordially, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 08:41, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not extended. Candidate has 4 supports and 2 opposes, therefore has a support ratio of 66.66% which is simply not enough to get elected as an administrator. But above everything, a RfA is not a vote, it is a place to get consensus and the candidate has some serious objections raised against him which could possibly be an effect of impending adminitis. The reason to elect administrator is to support a project and make sure the environment is welcoming and usable both to its users and editors with the resources a project has. Thus, we advise the candidate to keep up the good work in the community while helping the community growth to earn a better trust that he can provide and serve. Finally, this request for extension is not granted and the existing sysopship will be removed in the next day, October 30, 2012. — T. 14:17, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cont.

(plz don't remove the section)

Thanks @Quentinv57 for being here. I think, being the more experienced one there, it'll not be a good decision to give the wiki in hands of the unexperienced ones making them the only admins (plz check entire part for why I used these words). As of attitude, I just asked the user not to create duplicates and even others were supporting me asking him the same but the user accused me, that's all. Users are everything not admins? Moreover we've a community (although a little one) and one must not be against it normally. Why the user going against the community is right, and the admin (I) supporting (the community) is wrong?

I was so glad to know on my en.wiki talk page that I'm admin on pa.wiki and even reduced my activity on en.wiki; almost to zero; and gave my all time to the pa.wiki but it's all resulting highly disappointing. :-( sorry! Why users never told to repaire their behaviour? Why only admins? Are admins not users (contributing)? If users have given chances why not admins? Thanks a lot. --tari buttar [talk] 17:04, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@T, Please give me a chance. I'm the most active there. So not ignoring my helping work and constructive contributions give me a chance please. Please check how much time I took to got more than 3000 edits on en.wiki but on pa.wiki it takes just very few days. I got much experienced working as an admin (on other namespaces that needs an admin to edit them and it was first time I was an admin). I'm the most active and learned much. So please! --tari buttar [talk] 14:58, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You are not active in improving the wiki, you are policing and telling people what to do and how to, you keep stopping the growth process of the wiki because you want a big discussion and consensus on every little thing that editors are doing. You have not helped anybody in growing our wiki but instead pushed many Persian words over the Punjabi ones that is very wrong and his hurting the language deeply. I do not think any chances should be given to Mister TariButtar. —VibhasKS (talk) 16:10, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I always guided about the wiki articles style which many accepted saying wow! But you created personal views against me. You just wanna make Punjabi read (and write) like Hindi and inserting never used Hindi-Sanskrit words in Punjabi, that's all. That's why you're denieing the daily used Persian-Arab words. Please take a little time to examine for which words the Punjabi alphabet later included, ਸ਼, ਖ਼, ਗ਼, ਜ਼ and ਫ਼ letters? just to pronunce the Persian-Arab words rightly because all words from Persian-Arabic are accepted in tatsam form. Please read before you say. But you're denieing the dots at the bottom of letter and altering Punjabi just to make it read like Hindi; just based on you little dialect. Wanna tell you that Punjabi has so many large and little dialects. So, to avoid such conflicts there is standard Punjabi having persian-arab words like its own that you're denieing. By the way, Punjabi itself is a persian word. My contributions (constructive and done standardizing the wiki) are recorded in the history and never gone away. Someone neutral and worrying-about-Punjabi-and-the-wiki 'll definitly appreciate. 98% of your edits are on talk pages and accusing me for not wanna the wiki grow, how un-wiki!

Stewards please compare me with him (on pa.wiki) and examine using which type of language he talked to me and in which type of language I replied? You'll realize who want to kick out users. The person many time vandalised too. --tari buttar [talk] 01:57, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This case is closed. This is an off-topic discussion that you have to take at pa.wikipedia. -- Tegel (Talk) 02:10, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(I'm sorry this may my last msg here)

Yeah, you're right but I've left the wiki (you may check WP:COM history there) just because of these persons' harassing and rudeness. They even think that wiki is their personal property and altering Punjabi just following their personal preferences and when I suggested a consensus the reply was, consensus go to hell. --tari buttar [talk] 06:24, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is other pages here on Meta where the discussion can continue, for instance your talk page. It's just that this page is not for discussions. -- Tegel (Talk) 06:28, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header


Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.org for requests regarding English Wikipedia. This is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Oversight.

Removal of access

<translate>

  • If you're requesting the removal of your own permissions, make sure you're logged in to your account. If you have multiple flags, specify which you want removed. Stewards may delay your request a short time to ensure you have time to rethink your request (see [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|previous discussion]] on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, provide a link to the discussion, with a brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. However, as bureaucrats of some wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|separate list of these specific wikis]].
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions for inactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policy [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

Editing on wm2010 wiki

Note : This section won't be automatically archived by the bot

Status:    Done

Hello, I need to edit some pages (most notably wm2010:Schedule) on Wikimania 2010 wiki. I know it's old but we got some material available it should be linked there. Thank you.  « Saper // talk »  19:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In general, we do not substantially edit closed wikis, and many folks feel strongly that no such editing should take place. If you wish to submit your changes, a steward can look into applying them for you. Otherwise, for you to be able to edit it we'd have to re-open the wiki afaik. Snowolf How can I help? 21:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The other option would be to setup an ad-hoc global group for you to perform these edits, but again I'd like some consensus and some idea of what the changes are going to be and why they have to be implemented. Snowolf How can I help? 21:37, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I have filed bug 40123 for this instead.  « Saper // talk »  22:04, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So I'll mark this as closed--Bencmq (talk) 13:49, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reopening, as the wiki is now unlocked. Can you promote be to bureaucrat+sysop until we can close the wiki again? Thank you in advance!  « Saper // talk »  06:55, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Granted temporary administrator status (I don't see why you need bureaucrat rights to edit). Please poke us when you have finished so the rights can be removed. This section will remain here until completion of the request. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 07:59, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Technically it would suffice to grant the transwiki group (rather than import), as all the 3 wikis have each other as import sources defined in [2]. --MF-W 13:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also to note that the discussions were open on 22nd so let's wait for a while before proceeding. --Bencmq (talk) 06:37, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Because I don not familiar to the transwiki group and I have had importer right in zh.wikisource 3 years ago, I think importer right should be enough for me. --Alberth2 (talk) 23:34, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki importer rights on gu.wiki

Status:    Done

THis request is for granting import rights to user:Harsh4101991 on gu.wiki. AS there is no active local Stewards there, community consensus is taken for this and he has received overwhelming response. Currently only 2 admins (as there are only 2 active) have these rights and this user is actively engaged in creating templates. With import rights, he will be better able to do this by importing templates that we use mostly from the en.wiki.--DhavalTalk 08:27, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have converted this request to transwiki import right, to align with the admin right, rather than import right. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
