I am requesting '''account creator rights''' on Commons that can be assigned by stewards only.

As one of WLM/WikiCon organisers in Germany I am going to email the WLM winners from Sunday on, to invite them to the WikiCon in Karlsruhe, 22 - 24 November. There are about 60 users. Not all of them do have an account on wikipedia. It would be great to contact them quickly, because we do need quick answers - hotel registrations are due on Friday! Email limits would slow us down badly, thus I need account creator rights to be able to send all emails in one day.--[[User:WikiAnika|WikiAnika]] ([[User talk:WikiAnika|talk]]) 16:30, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Shortcut:
SRP

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.

Requests

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access

Bureaucrat access

CheckUser access

Oversight access

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>

Hercule@wuu.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

7 supports from autoconfirmed users between July 27 and August 29. --GZWDer (talk) 10:21, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that amongst those, in at least 4 cases the account was created specifically for the vote (noted by an IP on the page, confirmed myself for 守望者爱孟, Coolmanjackey , Fayhoo , JuneAugust). DarkoNeko (talk) 11:39, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On hold pending an investigation into abuse of process (e.g., sockpuppets) and for the RfC to run its course QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:16, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Check completed. CheckUser evidence suggests the accounts are unrelated and therefore there is no evidence of sock puppetery vote stacking or other abuse. QuiteUnusual (talk) 23:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lymantria@nl.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

Please remove my sysop access from nl.wikipedia. Due to a series of incidents I do not wish to take responsibilities as an admin on nl-wiki anymore. Lymantria (talk) 07:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please, put my request on hold for the time being pending developments and giving thoughts on the comments given by steward Trijnstel and admin CaAl on the dutch admin mailing list. I may have put my request here too much in the heat and emotion of the moment and want to give it thoughts for another day or two. Lymantria (talk) 09:31, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sure.  On hold for as long as you feel necessary. :) Trijnsteltalk 10:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have given thoughts on the comments Trijnstel and CaAl gave as mentioned above and to the comments I have received since this request by quite a few wikipedia-nl users. They convinced me that I should not give up my sysop access, so I hereby withdraw my request. Thank you. Lymantria (talk) 07:12, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not done. Thanks! /me is relieved Trijnsteltalk 20:39, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gruznov@ru.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

I see the ru-wiki community is very prejudiced against me. Under existing conditions I must resign as admin. --Gruznov (talk) 09:36, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why do not you ask your own bureaucrats? Ruslik (talk) 11:29, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because last time I did it on Meta-Wiki. --Gruznov (talk) 17:05, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed flags locally rubin16 (talk) 06:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Marking as not done as this has been handled locally. -Barras talk 10:03, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Grmbl76@nl.wikipedia

Status:    Done

According to the rules regarding adminship on nl-wiki as can be found here Grmbl76 has not received the needed support of 75% of votes needed to keep his admin rights. I therefor ask as the voting coordinator of this desysop procedure as can be found here that his sysop access will be removed. --JurgenNL (talk) 10:51, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Mentifisto 12:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry@en.wikipedia

Status:    Done

I am not making much use of the OS tool at this point in time - work is especially stressful at the moment, and I can't get to requests fast enough to action them. I would therefore like my oversight flag to be removed for the time being, until I have more time to spare. --Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 20:17, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done - thanks for your past work in this area! -- Mentifisto 21:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rax@de.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Hej Stewards, I herewith request removing the checkuser flag from my account for personal reasons: during last year my professional occupation increased unexpectedly and there are no current signs that this will change in the near future. For in de.wp new skilled CU's had been elected recently I think it's ok - bearing in mind that every idling CU would be one too much. Thank you. --Rax (talk) 03:11, 27 October 2013 (UTC) (will you please ignore my broken english)[reply]

Done, and thanks for your past work! -- Mentifisto 03:40, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

Wiki Loves Monuments Ukraine@commonswiki

Status:    Done

I am requesting account creator rights on Commons that can be assigned by stewards only.

As one of WLM organisers in Ukraine I am going to email the WLM winners from Sunday on. We expect to contact approx. 50 users (27 regional winners, 2 national nominations of 10 users each and 5 special nominations of, most likely, 3 users each, with probably some users getting more than one prize and thus just one email), and it would be great to contact them quickly. However, email limits would affect this, thus I need account creator rights to be able to send all emails in one day.

commons:User:Wiki Loves Monuments Ukraine is my alternate account (diff) that is used only for contacting WLM winners — NickK (talk) 23:29, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done for two weeks until 9 November 2013. Ruslik (talk) 17:19, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
