This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global sysop, ...) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications. This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion. Successful global rollback requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion, while successful global sysop discussions require no fewer than 2 weeks.
Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.
Instructions for making a request
Before requesting, make sure that:
You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag
To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
|status = <!-- don't change this line -->
|domain = global <!-- don't change this line -->
|user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''
The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions, no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.
I would like to have the global rollback permission so that I can assist in reverting vandalism. I have enabled Twinkle globally, and have used it quite a bit, but having the rollback right itself will streamline the process and makes things easy. I have (hopefully) proven myself to be much better, mature and logical since the last time I requested for global rollback. Thank you. --Hydriz (talk) 16:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If I look at your crosswiki contributions I see the most of your edits are creating userpages and other stuff like that. I don't see to many reverts on that page, So I think I need some more time of my choice of vote. --Wiki13talk16:32, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Given the notice of this discussion was posted in #wikimedia-stewards, a channel were in usual circumstances (TS has been inaccessible today and the bot has gone down) a bot notifies us of such requests, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

{{neutral}} Hydriz has been rather active recently, with around 50 reverts xwiki in the last month, but very little experience outside of that. I would be OK with this in a bit of time, but am also considering changing to support here. Ajraddatz (Talk) 03:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Change to Support. Re-checking the user's global contributions does show more experience (not done with twinkle so it messed up my attempt at an easy search), and I agree with the below comments as well. The advertising of this request was also acceptable, since it had been a couple of days without any comment, and it was done in a public area (and the bot was down). Ajraddatz (Talk) 16:38, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support user has broad range of xwiki edits, widely applied advanced rights, including rollbacker, two years since last application, and two years more mature. I see no harm. — billinghurstsDrewth08:44, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support don't see a real need (only a few reverts), but on the other hand don't see any harm either; so AGF and furthermore per Billinghurst. Trijnsteltalk13:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - that tool makes reverts easier and so the work is more enjoyable. Doing that work without that tool is probably rather annoying. I guess with the tool we'll probably see even more reverts from him. Also my general experience with Hydriz in the past is good, he really does some good work. I see no real problems here. -Barrastalk14:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - I think he will do a good job, and doubt he will cause any harm. GR is no big deal, and Hydriz is trusted and experienced enough. Also, he seems pleasant from my interactions with him (on simple.wiktionary mostly). PiRSquared17 (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I know Hydriz is a reasonable person, but I don't know anything about his recent global reverting activities (and am too lazy to check). --MF-W17:08, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After reading the analysis from Vogone, I feel compelled to be opposed to this request because of the inactivity. Additionally I've never seen any statistics which say that users get more active by getting GR. --MF-W22:15, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. While the five days have already passed I will extend this discussion for a few more days as the real discussion started less than 2 days ago. Ruslik (talk) 19:13, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Hydriz is certainly a great contributor to many of our projects, but I don't see the required experience/activity here (the policy says: "For consideration, users must be demonstrably active in cross-wiki countervandalism or anti-spam activities […] and make heavy use of revert on many wikis). Besides a global mass creation of user pages on 22th January, not much cross-wiki activity can be found in his global contributions. Though, after this mass creation of global user pages, Hydriz became slightly more active and made edits to 32 different wikis, but not even all of them had to to with CVN work and thus also not many reverts can be found in that period of time. This makes about 40 reverts outside of his home wikis for the years 2013 and 2014, which doesn't seem sufficient to me to fulfil the criteria defined by the policy.
